Recalculation of Contract Standing

Use

This function allows you to recalculate the contract standing.

Integration

The system usually updates the contract standing automatically when it imports the contracts. If you do not want the system to do this, you can select the Update standing during import indicator for the respective application in Customizing under: Start of the navigation path SAP Media Next navigation step Advertising Management Next navigation step Sales Next navigation step Contract Next navigation step Technical Settings Next navigation step Exclusion of Unnecessary Components from Import End of the navigation path . You must then access recalculation of the contract standing manually using the following functions:

If you have not deactivated the standard update in dialog, the system always displays the current standing for the assignments here. (The Standing was updated message is displayed as appropriate).

Please note that the system displays the current contract standing.

Prerequisites

You want the system to determine the current contract standing and update this with the contract.

A contract to which billing datasets are to be assigned was blocked and the system was unable to update the contract standing.

You have created contracts and entered orders.

Features

If a contract is blocked during order entry, the system assigns billing datasets for this order to the contract but these contract assignments cannot be updated in the database.

Since the system cannot update the contract standing automatically, you must update this manually. When the contract standing is recalculated, the system determines the current contract standing and updates this with the contract.

Example Example

If a billing dataset could be assigned to contracts A and B, and settlement has been performed for contract A, the system updates the assessment basis used to grant discount conditions from contract B during settlement. The assessment basis is not updated in the contract standing for contract B during settlement. Contract B does not have a current standing meaning that this must be recalculated for this contract.

End of the example.
