Data	Description
Netting	An exchange with netting means that external postings are carried out, but the open amounts are blocked for collection purposes or for payment. At the end of a period, the receivables are compared and only the differential amount is calculated for billing purposes.
The netting blocking indicator	The netting blocking indicator is an indicator that tells the system how settlement should be carried out, that is, which items should be taken into account during netting.
Fee check indicator	If this indicator is set, it means that at least one fee has to be assigned for each sales contract and for each purchase contract. This is checked when a contract is created.
Breakdown indicator	The breakdown indicator is used in the quantity schedule to determine the duration of a breakdown period (for example, daily, weekly, monthly).
Quantity schedule split	Using the breakdown indicator, the quantity schedule can be subdivided into schedule lines (for example based on months, weeks or other periods). Using the split indicator, you can determine the type of quantity schedule split you want for the quantity schedule.
Sub-product/base product relevance indicator	This indicator determines whether or not the sub-product/base product is to be used. Two routines are used for this: The price of the base product is determined by the delivering plant or by the plant to be delivered to. If there is no material at the warehouse (storage area) in question, then the price is determined based on the reference plant. The price is determined based on the reference plant. A user exit is available for the creation of individual routines.
Base location	The base location in exchange deliveries describes the point (on a pipeline), from which pipeline fees are first paid.
User exit for sub-product/base product	SAP provides two exit routines as part of standard. The routines check the sub-product/base product assignment: Exit Routine 1 guarantees that when a material is entered several times as a sub-product in a contract, the base product is the same. Exit-Routine 2 guarantees that when a material is entered several times as a sub-product in all the contracts of an exchange agreement, the corresponding base product is the same. You can change or add to those exit routines in Customizing by choosing Industry Solution Oil & Gas (Downstream) ® EXG ® Maintain Exchanges User Exits.
Value-add tax for internally-posted materials	This indicator shows whether value-added tax is to be paid on the product value received for an internally-posted material.

Data	Description
