Assign Strategy Sequence To Order Type

In this IMG activity, you assign a strategy sequence for each order type. For new orders, the system transfers the strategy sequence to a corresponding order type in the settlement parameters.

The system generates automatic settlement rules for an order in the following situations:

• If the order status allows settlement rule maintenance

• If the order status matches the time (status) defined in the assignment, or the order once had this status before.

• If generation is allowed (depending on whether existing settlement rules can be changed), and if generation is possible (depending on the derivation from the master data fields for the order).

The assigned strategy sequence acts as a default value for the order type. You can enter a user-defined strategy sequence in the settlement parameters for each order. However, the time and changeability dependencies are fíxed for each order type , meaning that you cannot define them for individual orders.

Requirements

You created a suitable strategy sequence (either predefined by SAP, or user-defined).

Activities

Assign strategy sequence to order type

Remove or replace any strategy sequences that were assigned to the order type.

Further Notes

To avoid performance problems, choose the latest time possible for automatic generation of the settlement rule.

If you require user-defined strategy sequences, choose

• Create

• strategy sequences for the automatic generation of settlement rules

• Create

• user-defined strategies for the automatic generation of settlement rules

If you created orders with reference orders, or if you assigned a model order to an order type, then the system copies the strategy sequence of the reference or model order. If you did not maintain a strategy sequence, the system does not copy anything.

If an order already has settlement rules that were manually entered, then automatic generation of settlement rules does not take place.
