You use this function to process conversion data from sales reports for customers/objects and materials .
Wholesalers can report their sales in the units they use. The
Pendulum List for Indirect Sales
requires conversion data to convert the keys and descriptions from external data received from sales reports into internal keys and descriptions. The
Pendulum List for Indirect Sales
displays the keys used by the wholesaler when generating sales requests.
If external and internal keys are flagged in the wholesalers’ sales report files, the
Pendulum List for Indirect Sales
can transfer the conversion data automatically from the sales report files to the conversion data table.
If only external keys are flagged in the sales report files, or if the sales reports are in paper form, you can assign internal keys manually.
If the data is transferred automatically, the
Pendulum List for Indirect Sales
presumes that the wholesalers report their quantities in their (external) units of measure. The system converts the quantities into internal units of measure.
The prerequisites for processing conversion data are as follows:
The required master data (such as wholesaler, customer, object, and material) must already be created under the relevant sales area when the conversion data is entered or processed.
Branch offices or sub-wholesalers must be entered as wholesalers.
If you want to create conversion data for a material, the material may not yet be created for the specified sales area.
The following functions are available for processing conversion data:
Create Conversion Data for Customers
Change Conversion Data for Customers
Display Conversion Data for Customers
Create Conversion Data for Materials
Change Conversion Data for Materials
Display Conversion Data for Materials
