In this step, you make the system settings required for application- specific activities (adjusting purchase orders, generating documents for
order optimizing etc.) when conditions change.
There are two types of system settings:
Condition index update involves the updating of
change pointers when conditions are created or changed. These change pointers
are analyzed by the system when the worklist is created for various
applications.
The updating of change pointers must be activated for each message
category.
The message category "CONDBI" is used for the relevant document
categories.
You can activate the updating of change pointers in Activate Change Pointers.
Under Define Extent of Change , you can define the condition changes (condition amount, start and end of the validity period, scales) for which change pointers are updated.
In the settings for creating document indices for various documents, you define the condition types (purchase price, discounts etc.) for which document indices are created.
The document indices record which particular conditions for the condition types specified were involved for these document items. For this purpose, the document indices also contain the condition key and the condition table of the condition record.
The standard system contains all the required entries for message category CONBI for adjusting the document categories to be maintained.
Message category "CONDBI" for condition index updates is also used for document adjustment in purchase orders, order optimizing, scheduling agreements and pricing documents.
To enable the creation of document indices for
pricing documents, the "document creation" indicator must be maintained in the
Pricing Type.
