Recommendation Recommendation

Although this business function is considered optional, we highly recommend that you activate it. With the business function activated, you get significant improvements in memory and performance.

End of the recommendation.

Process

If you activate this business function, the system does the following:

  • Saves the offer forecast in the offer financial details.

    The offer forecast is thus no longer saved in the Offer Forecast (/DMF/OFR_FC) table.

    The financial data is thus no longer saved in the FIN_DTL table of the Structure Type of Offer (/DMF/OFR_AND_VERSIONS_STY) structure. It is now saved in the FIN_DTL_COMP table of the Structure Type of Offer (/DMF/OFR_AND_VERSIONS_STY) structure.

  • Assumes that the Omit Unnecessary Product Location Combinations field in the Customizing activity Maintain Indicators for Offer Calculations is selected. Note that if a user deselects this field, the system still assumes that the field is selected.

  • Applies the vendor fund percentage to the margin. If you want the vendor fund percentage applied to the margin and price, use the /DMF/OVERRIDE_VF_ADJ_4_OFFER Business Add-In (BAdI).

  • Updates the From and To fields at the product group and product hierarchy level on the Save Story Values tab page on the Financials tab page in the Offer Maintenance screen area. Note that these fields are no longer updated at the product location level.

  • Consolidates the total calculated sales in the Calculated Sales Projection, Calculated Profit Projection, and Calculated Margin Projection fields on the Financials tab page in the Offer Maintenance screen area.

Note Note

If this business function is not active, the system aggregates the unit of measure (UoM) on the offer screen.
