Maintain Access Sequence (SAP Library - R/3 Customizing for Retail (Pilot Customers Only))

Maintain Access Sequence

In this step you define access sequences for free goods determination.

The access sequence is a search strategy which is used by the SAP system to search for a free goods type according to valid free goods rates.

The free goods rates are used in the SAP system to model free goods elements.

You enter an access sequence in every free goods type. In doing so you define the fields checked by the system in searching for a valid free goods rate.

Note

You group together all the free goods types that are to be taken into account by the system in determining a free goods discount for a business transaction in a pricing procedure/calculation schema. See "Define and Assign Free Goods Schemas" ).

Please note that only the free goods types contained in the free goods schema can be entered manually.

You can manually change the result found by free goods determination. You can limit the change options possible for free goods in this menu.

SAP recommendation

If you define your own free goods types and access sequences, the key should start with the letter Z, since SAP keeps this name range free in the standard version.

You should not change the free goods types and access sequences contained in the standard version of R/3.

Actions

1. Check whether you can use the free goods types and access sequences contained in the standard version of R/3.

2. To create new access sequences, copy a similar access sequnce and change it as desired. Enter an alphanumerical key of up to 4 characters and a short text.

3. Maintain accesses for the access sequence by entering the free goods tables in the desired sequence. The sequence defines the priority of the tables accessed. You can display the combinations of key fields that have been defined via the F4 possible entries help.

4. You can create new free goods types by copying a similar free goods type and changing it. You must make the following entries:

Enter an access sequence for the free goods type.

5. Maintain the details screen for the free goods.
When free goods discounts are very similar, you can assign a reference free goods discount. Then all you have to do is maintain free goods rates for the reference.
