Processing the Expenditure View

Use

You can edit the items in resource-related billing in the following views:

Expenditure view

Sales Price View

You can switch between the views at any time.

The expenditure view shows the costs from the sales/service order or project, summarized using the DI processor. The summarized costs - called dynamic items - form the items in the expenditure view.

You use the expenditure view to determine whether the system bills the costs summarized for dynamic items in full, later, or does not include them in the billing request at all.

The screen for the expenditure view is comprised of an overview tree and a table.

The overview tree shows the hierarchy of SD items per the selected characteristics from the DIP profile.

The table displays the hierarchy node selected in the overview tree, and the objects subordinate to it (the SD document items).
