Automatic generation of settlement rules 

Use

From Release 4.6C, you can also generate automatically for sales order items with make-to-order settlement rules.

Automatic generation of settlement rules for sales order items is controlled by the following:

• The strategy defines which settlement receivers should be created from the master data for a sales order item.

• The strategy sequence defines, with help from priorities, which strategy the system uses for automatic generation of settlement rules.

Effects on Customizing

You carry out the settings for automatic generation of settlement rules (display strategies, define strategy sequences) for sales order items in Customizing for Sales and Distribution under Sales and Distribution --> Basic functions --> Account assignment/Pricing --> Automatic generation of settlement rules .

In Customizing for the requirements classes (IMG for Sales and Distribution under Sales and Distribution --> Basic functions --> Account Assignment/Costing --> Maintain Requirement Classes For Costing/Account Assignment), the following two new fields for the settlement rule:

• Strategy sequence

• Changeable

You can enter the settlement profile in Customizing, as well as in the requirements class or in the definition for the strategy sequence.

Note

If you enter a settlement profile in both positions, the settlement profile is then used from the requirements class in sales order processing. If no settlement profile is entered in the requirements class, the settlement profile which was set for the strategy sequence definition is used.
