Procedure

  1. On the Perform Comparison of Business Volume screen, enter the number of the desired rebate arrangement and press ENTER .
  2. From the input help, select the settlement date of the period-specific or main condition for which you want to perform settlement accounting.
  3. Confirm your entries.

You go to the overview screen for the business volume comparison, which displays an overview tree and a table for entering the business volume comparison.

The period-specific conditions for the arrangement are displayed in the overview tree. The condition that you selected on the selection screen is displayed in black. Period-specific conditions that fall before the validity period of the selected condition are displayed in gray. In addition, the conditions for which business volume has already been compared are marked with a green dot, and the conditions for which business volume has not yet been compared are marked with a red dot.

The business volume date relating to the selected condition is displayed in the table.

Note

You can switch between the period-specific and main condition. To do this, choose either Period-specific condition or Main condition.

Note

If the condition contains scales, you can display these scales for information purposes. Choose Goto ® Condition record.

Choose Income per scale to obtain an overview showing you the position of the scale level currently achieved within the scale as a whole and the additional volume of purchases necessary to reach the next scale level.
  1. Select the aggregation level at which you want to compare business volume data.

    2. The business volume data can be displayed at any level of the key fields site, tax code, vendor, and month. You can select a valid aggregation level from the input help (F4) for the Aggregation level field.

    In the statistics, the data entered is then broken down to the most detailed level on the basis of the updated business volume data.

  2. If the business volumes differ, enter a value that you agreed with your business partner.

    3. The condition for which the comparison is carried out (not yet saved) is marked with a yellow dot in the overview tree.

  3. Save your entries.

If you are not carrying out the business volume comparison for the first time, you can obtain information on the results of the last comparison, and on the business volume at the time when last comparison was carried out. If this differs from the current level of business volume, an incoming invoice or goods receipt must have been posted in the meantime.

If you wish to change data that has already been compared, the system will suggest the data of the last business volume comparison. However, you can also display the current statistical data as a starting point for the business volume comparison. You can use the Adopt business volume function to copy the data displayed in the entry table (for the current business volume, for example) to the current comparison.

Caution

If the business volume data according to your business volume statistics agrees with the corresponding data recorded by the vendor, consider whether you really wish to save the result of the business volume comparison or whether it is preferable to reset the indicator "Business volume comparison" in the rebate arrangement, in view of the absence of any discrepancies. Due to the increased volume of data, the system needs more time and storage capacity during the settlement run if the results of a business volume comparison have been saved.

Note

You will find details on the volume of business done with the vendor under Settlement accounting ® Display statement or Detailed statement and in the Standard analysis for Subsequent Settlement.
