Specify Parameters for Network Type

In this step, you define the parameters per plant and network type.

Parameters for network types:

• a standard distribution rule for settlement

• a reduction strategy for scheduling

• a results analysis key

• the costing variants for planned costs and actual costs

• a strategy for determining the settlement rule

• whether the network has header or activity account assignment

• indicator whether a workflow is to be created for changes to quantities or dates of non-stock components, externally processed activities and external elements and whether a purchase order already exists.

• indicator whether the net price is to be copied from the purchase requisition into the purchase order without any changes.

Status Changes

In this part of the screen, you determine per network type and plant whether change documents are to be written if status changes occur and on which level the change documents are written.

A status change document records:

• the status that was changed

• who changed the status

• whether the status was activated or deactivated

• the transaction in which the status change was made

Status change documents can be written in the network for the following objects:

• network header

• activity and activity elements

• material components

• production resources/tools

Status change documents can be defined independently of each other for every object.

To write a change document, the following must have been newly created since the activation of the change documents:

• network or activities and activity elements

• material components

• production resources/tools

For example, if you activate document creation for activities, the system will write a change document for every change of status after this point.
