Some data in the sales document consists of a combination of different factors, such as customer and material, and cannot therefore be copied directly from the customer or material master records to the document. Instead, the system has to determine the data separately for the different factors at different times. For example, when you configure your system for Sales and Distribution, you can save the data for different routes separately from the master data, dependent on the location of the delivery plant and the ship-to party. As long as the necessary data has been saved, the system can then determine the route automatically during sales order processing. The following data can also be defined in advance to be determined during processing:

• Prices, discounts and surcharges

• Data for delivery scheduling

• Shipping point
