Recalculation of Contract StandingThis function allows you to recalculate the contract standing.
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:
. 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.
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.
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
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.
