Functional Prerequisites for the Internet Application 

For the Internet application, the following settings must be made in Customizing for trading contracts:

·        Internet address of the trading company

For each trading contract type, you can enter an Internet address (URL) of the trading company.

·        Display of negotiation change

Trading Contract supports the display in change mode of old versions of texts. This function is absolutely essential for displaying the negotiation text on the Internet.

Under Activate change log for item text types in Customizing, you must activate the change log for the text ID that is used as the negotiation text.

If you want to display old versions of the text in the trading contract, under Item text types for change display, you must specify text IDs that are to be used to display the old versions of the texts. Then, under Activate change log for item text types, you can assign text IDs to each of the texts to be saved.

·        Profile for TradingContract@Net

You can define which organizational data (such as sales organization, purchasing organization, contract type) is transferred to the Internet application during the automatic creation of trading contracts, and which contract address is to be displayed for your trading company in the Internet application.

You make these settings under Define profile for TradingContract@Net.

·        Tab Pages

¡        Assignment of trading contract status (SAP status) to Internet status

Under Assignment of trading contract status to status@Net, you assign an Internet status to the various application statuses of the trading contracts created in the SAP System, taking account of the Last changed by indicator.

¡        Assignment of Internet status to tab pages

Under Maintain web status, you can maintain separate descriptions for the tab pages and various Internet statuses to these.

In doing so, you also define the following:

§         Which trading contracts are displayed in a tab page (for example, all trading contracts with the status released)

§         How many tab pages are displayed

You can define, for example, that trading contracts with a certain status are not displayed, or that trading contracts with different SAP statuses are grouped together in a tab page.
