Some export licenses have maximum values, maximum quantities, or both. These values or quantities mark the upper limit of the licenses’ validity. Consequently, several sales orders or deliveries can use the same license until its maximum value or quantity is exceeded.

This function tracks the cumulative value already assigned to the license. With each new sales order, the function checks that the remaining outstanding value on the license covers the sales order value. If the outstanding value is not sufficient, you must use another license.

The updating functions include the transactions required for manual maintenance in the license master. They also include the measures necessary when the license data (essentially, the remaining outstanding value of a license) needs to be changed when legal control is performed in the document. This means that the information in the license is updated from the order. Quantities already used in orders and deliveries can also be retained manually in the license master.
