Features

Create combination sales

You specify the combination sale type when you create a combination sale. The combination sale type specifies which price is determined for a document item that is placed in a combination sale and how the system processes this type of sale for statistical purposes.

You can combine document items, sub-items and schedule lines in a combination sale. You can for instance combine document items with document items, sub-items and/or schedule lines. You can also combine sub-items with schedule lines.

You can create more than one combination sale in a sales document. The system displays a combination sale number for each advertising combination. You can use this number to distinguish combination sales and to identify which document items, sub-items and/or schedule lines are combined in which combination sales.

Note Note

If you have combined sub-items or schedule lines with document items, sub-items or schedule lines in a combination sale, the system only displays the combination sale in its complete form when you expand the hierarchy tree.

End of the note.

Settlement of combination sales

If you combine several document items in a combination sale, the system generates one billing dataset.

If you have combined schedule lines from a combined booking unit with document items, sub-items or schedule lines in a combination sale, the system generates one billing dataset if you have selected the Proportional sett ., or Sep.settle.schd.line indicators in the combined booking unit master data.

If you have not selected these indicators in the master data for a combined booking unit, the system also generates one billing dataset here if the combination sale refers to the schedule line that the system generated from the reference basic booking unit for the combined booking unit.

Example Example

Customer A places an ad in the Local total combined booking unit that consists of the Local A and Local B basic booking units. You have defined the Local A basic booking unit as the reference basic booking unit in the master data for the Local Total combined booking unit and have not selected the Proportional sett . or Sep.settle.schd.line indicators.

A trial sample is to be attached to the ad that is published in the Local A basic booking unit.

You create an ad item and an ad insert item.

If you combine the schedule line generated by the system for the Local B basic booking unit with the ad insert item in a combination sale, the system generates two billing datasets.

If you combine the schedule line generated by the system for the Local A basic booking unit with the ad insert item in a combination sale, the system generates one billing dataset.

End of the example.
