Purchasing: Master Conditions for Scheduling Agreements

Description

Previously, there were master conditions for contracts only. You could store just one price for scheduling agreements.
As of Release 3.0, master conditions are also available for scheduling agreements. This allows you to maintain different prices for different validity periods. On the date of goods receipt, the system will carry out a new price determination for the material. In the process, the posting date of the goods receipt document and the target quantity of the scheduling agreement item (not the GR quantity) are used.

Change system parameters in customizing

If you wish to process scheduling agreements using master conditions, the "Master conditions" indicator must be set for the document type.

For more on this topic, please refer to IMG Define document types and number ranges.

Changes to the interface

If you work with master conditions, you can have the conditions that led to this valuation displayed from within the PO history.

Dependent functions

To change the master conditions of all scheduling agreements for a vendor, choose "Master conditions -> Conditions -> Vendor price change -> Involving sch. agmts."

In the item overview and on the item detail screen for the scheduling agreement, at this time you will still see the last-maintained net price. To update this price, choose "Outline agreement -> Scheduling agreement -> Follow-on functions -> Set prices (batch)".

The statistics are updated using the last-maintained net price, and commitments are generated with this price. No commitments are generated for planned delivery costs, and no invoices can be posted for such costs prior to goods receipt.
