Procedure documentationEditing the Dispatch Expenses Group Box

 

In the Dispatch Expenses group box, on the Calculation tab page, you edit the fields for a condition that belong to amount category 115030 Dispatch Expenses.

You use this group box to represent a charge that is levied dependent on a dispatch expense counter (for example, number of letters with bank statements to customers). The dispatch expense counter is defined in the application. For example, the application uses a BAPI to update it.

You can define the dispatch expenses as a simple charge or as multiple charge amounts in tiers. Without Condition Determination you can define an item limit for each tier that refers to the counter reading. You use condition determination to define an amount limit and an item limit for each tier. The system determines the reference value of the amount limits from the settings on the Condition Determination tab page, for example, the period of use, the determination period, and the turnover class.

Depending on the settings you make, very different and complex screens are available in certain fields when you edit dispatch charges.

Note Note

The dependencies of these fields are displayed in a decision table in the documentation for amount category 115030 Dispatch Charges.

End of the note.

A condition type with the amount category 115030 (Dispatch Expenses) must have the dispatch expense counter differentiation category.
