Function documentationRecycling Contract Management

 

You use recycling contracts in REA for any recycling partner to model all necessary data and contract conditions (such as payment method, payment form, declaration form, or price lists) that form the settlement basis between your company and the recycling partner.

Prerequisites

To organize the contract data between a REA company and the recycling partner, you have completed the following activities:

  • Process vendor

    Since a recycling partner is a logical extension of a vendor master record in REA, you must first create the vendor master record.

  • Process recycling partner

    In the master data for the recycling partner, define all attributes and their characteristics that are required according to the contract with the recycling partner (for example, fractions, REA conditions, or splitting). The focus is on documents that have to be created as contract elements for the recycling partner in reporting and that also form the basis for fee payment.

  • Make Customizing settings

    Configure the following settings for the recycling partner in Customizing:

    • Assignment of recycling partner fractions to internal fractions

    • Special conditions that are used as item discounts in the price list

    • License fee splitting

    • Data filter

    • Trade level

    For more information, see the respective documentation in the IMG activities for Sales and Distribution under Start of the navigation path Billing Next navigation step Recycling Administration End of the navigation path.

  • Process price list

    In the price list, you define conditions for a specific period for the keys recycling partner, country, and company code.

Features

You manage recycling contracts on the basis of recycling partners, their price lists, and their relationship to one another.

In the recycling partner, you define all contract data for a company or an institution to which you report environmental issues or with whom you have to settle articles.

In the price list, you define the price data provided by the corresponding recycling partner. The system refers to these price lists when calculating the costs for your company.

Using versioned price lists, you can assign several price lists to one recycling partner. The system then uses the price list version that, for example, is required for the period of a periodical declaration.
