Controls the second summarization level for dynamic items, meaning from dynamic items to items of the billing request. The indicator defines whether the characteristic is taken into consideration during summarization of the items.
If you do not set the indicator, the system summarizes into an item all dynamic items in the billing request for which the same material was found during quotation or billing creation. This also applies even if, for example, the assigned activity type is different for both materials (see Case 1).
If, for example, you do set this indicator (for example, for the activity type) the system does not summarize into an item the dynamic items for which the same material was found during quotation or billing creation if the activity types are different (see Case 2).
Case 1:
The indicator No summarization is not set for the
activity type.
| Dynamic item | Activity type | Material found |
|---|---|---|
| 12 h | Activity 1 | Mat 1 |
| 5 h | Activity 2 | Mat 2 |
| 1 h | Activity 3 | Mat 2 |
When creating a billing request, the system creates the following items:
| Item | Material | Qty/Unit |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | Mat 1 | 12 h |
| 20 | Mat 2 | 6 h |
Because the indicator is not set for the activity type, the material "Mat 2" is summarized in the item of the billing request.
Case 2:
The indicator No summarization is set for the
activity type.
The system does not perform summarization in the item of the billing request, but instead lists the items separately by activity type.
| Item | Actvy type | Material | Qty/Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | Activity 1 | Mat 1 | 12 h |
| 20 | Activity 2 | Mat 2 | 5 h |
| 30 | Activity 3 | Mat 2 | 1 h |
Material determination, individual indicator (If the indicator is set, the system does not perform summarization).
