Operation and Link to Application (MM-PUR-VM)
Use
Rebate arrangements entered into with vendors by Purchasing can be passed on to Business Workflow for settlement accounting purposes at regular intervals. There are two possible ways of doing this, both of which should be carried out by a person acting as a coordinator. The latter can be a central coordinator or a coordinator for a particular purchasing organization.
Activities
The coordinator regularly carries out settlement accounting with regard to rebate arrangements via Settlement acctg.
Since the program for settlement accounting via workflow should be run regularly (e.g. each week), it is advisable to execute this program in the background at the desired intervals. This involves two steps:
a) First define suitable variants of the program (program name: RWMBON11), in which the settlement date field is defined as a selection variable and dynamically filled with the current date. You can also add other selection criteria as required.
b) You then schedule the program to be run in the background with a desired period. See the documentation on background processing: BC Computing Center Management System
