Subsequent Settlement: Quantities 

The key figures described below refer to the condition record for the order item. The order item must be relevant to the subsequent settlement for these key figures to be updated. This is controlled by corresponding indicators in the vendor master, the purchasing info record or in the order item.

In the standard system, these key figures are updated to the information structure S015 upon invoice receipt on the document date. At the same time the data is allocated to the corresponding condition record. The data is then both available for the condition record, and can also be analyzed on a monthly basis (e.g. in the case of arrangements that are settled quarterly). In order for updating to take place, it must be possible to determine a condition record of the arrangement in Subsequent Settlement during price determination (purchase order or goods receipt).

Please note that in the case of arrangements that are settled periodically, data is determined for the respective condition record (period) that is valid on the document date of invoice verification. The condition record valid at the time of invoice verification can differ from the condition record valid during price determination (purchase order or goods receipt).

Weights

Net weight for the condition record (arrangement) from the purchase order items.

Gross weight for the condition record (arrangement) from the purchase order items.

Gross/net weight is saved in the material master or in the purchasing info record, or can be entered manually in the order document.

Updating of both these key figures always takes place when the reference magnitude or the calculation rule refers to the gross or net weight. In the case of agreements settled periodically, this might also be the condition record calculation rule in the final settlement.

Quantity of Vendor Business Volume

Quantitative business volume to the condition record (arrangement) from the order items.

Updating of this key figure always takes place when the reference magnitude or the calculation rule refers to the quantity. In the case of agreements settled periodically, this might also be the condition record calculation rule in the final settlement. In order for updating to take place, it must be possible to convert the quantity into the units of measure in the condition record.

Volume

Volume for the condition record (arrangement) from the purchase order items.

The volume of the material is specified in the material master or in the purchasing info record, or can be manually entered in the order document.

In the case of condition records with no reference to volume, i.e. if the reference magnitude or the calculation rule in the condition record does not refer to the volume, then the volume is updated for purposes of information only.

Number of Points

Number of points for the condition record (arrangement) from the purchase order items.

The number of points of a material is saved in the material master or in the purchasing info record, or can be manually entered in the order document.

Updating of this key figure always takes place when the reference size or the calculation rule refers to points. In the case of agreements settled periodically, this might also be the condition record calculation rule in the final settlement. In order for updating to take place, it must be possible to convert the quantity into the units of measure in the condition record.
