General Tab Page

Sales Pricing or Quotation Creation

You can choose between the sales price view or the sales price basis as the initial view for the sales pricing.

The system displays the relevant view when you choose one of the following pushbuttons in the initial screen for sales pricing or creating quotations:

Create new sales pricing

Access sales pricing

If you want the system to display the quotation document for further processing once it has been created (by means of Create quotation), select the indicator Show quotation doc. after saving.

If you do not select this indicator, the system simply displays a message, confirming that the quotation has been created.

Resource-Related Billing

You can choose between the sales price view or the expenditure view as the initial view for the sales pricing.

To access the view you want, go to the Create Billing Request: Initial Screen and choose .

If you want the system to display the billing request for further processing once it has been created (by means of Billing Request), select the indicator Show billing request after saving.

If you do not select this indicator, the system simply displays a message, confirming that the billing request has been created.

Structure Tree Tab Page

Here, you determine how the two screen areas (table and structure tree) are arranged in the two views.

Sales price basis view/expenditure view

You can show or hide the structure tree at the top of the screen or at the bottom, on the left or on the right. The tree reproduces the dynamic item hierarchy.

Sales price view

You can show the structure tree at the top of the screen or at the bottom. The tree reproduces the individual SD documents with main items and subitems.

Sales Price Basis/Expenditure Tab Page

You can choose the currency in which the system displays the sales price basis/expenditure items. You can choose between controlling area currency, object currency, and transaction currency. This setting does not affect the currency transferred to the quotation/billing request.

The system usually transfers the transaction currency, unless the Transaction currency field is not filled. In this event, the controlling area currency is transferred. This happens if the All currencies field is not selected (in cost accounting customizing, under Controlling ® General Controlling ® Maintain Controlling Area).

If you select the indicator Only dynamic items will accept input, it will only be possible to enter values for the dynamic items.
Selecting the Block in manual input indicator ensures that values changed manually can be overwritten.

Description Tab Page

The system only draws on this tab page in the sales price basis view/expenditure view.

You use this tab page to stipulate how the dynamic items , objects, and the selected characteristics are labeled in the structure tree and table.

You can use any combination of posting period, material number, and material description as the description in a dynamic item.

You can use the short or long description of an object as its description in the DIP.

You can use an abbreviation and/or the short/long description of a characteristic as the label for that characteristic.

This tab page is the header for a variable number of subordinate tab pages. The number of tab pages depends on whether you have maintained the activity type, cost element, cost center type, and statistical key figures as structuring characteristics in the DIP profile.

The system displays one tab page for each of these structuring characteristics. In addition to the optional tab pages, the system always displays the Dynamic Items and Object tab pages.
