Use

This function is used to enter booking units for document items.

Integration

Booking units are found in the planning data for ad, online, commercial, ad insert and distribution items. This is not the case for service items.

Once you have entered the planning data for an item, the system generates sub-items, schedule lines and billing datasets when you confirm this data.

During generation of schedule lines, the system checks whether the booking unit has been created in the product master data and can be produced or sold on the date specified.

Booking units can be used to determine prices, contracts and sales agents for a document item.

If you change the booking unit in a document item, the system generates new sub-items, schedule lines and billing datasets when you confirm the item data.

Prerequisites

You have created booking units in the product master data.

If the system is not to check whether additional booking units are published on the dates that were entered for the first booking unit in ad items, you have selected the BU+ indicator in Customizing.

Features

Booking units are entered for a document item according to their item type.

The booking unit identification key is entered in the Booking unit field on the Details tab page at item level.

Entering several booking units means you can sell booking units that have not been created as combined booking units in the product master data collectively.

To enter more than one booking unit for an ad or online item, proceed as follows:

The Multiple assignment indicator is selected on the Details tab page at item level.

If you enter more than one booking unit for an ad item, the content component in which the ad is to be published must be included in all booking units that you enter in this item. If this is not the case, you must either enter an item for each booking unit, generate the schedule lines manually or convert the content components in the product master data.

If you enter additional dates for an ad booking unit, the booking unit controls whether the system generates schedule lines on all of these additional dates.
