Changes in Commitment Item Maintenance for Release 3.0A

Description

Commitment item maintenance has been changed and extended for Release 3.0A by the following functions:

As of Release 3.0A, it is possible to also define summarization items via individual maintenance.

To create summarization items, go to the commitment acounting menu and choose Master data -> Commitment item -> Summarization -> Create/Change/Display . When creating summarization items, you can also specify the respective higher-level summarization item so that you can create your hierarchy this way.

For more information, please refer to the release note "Time Dependency With Commitment Items" .
