Function documentationChecking Partner/Product Ranges with Exclude Indicators

 

When checking partner/product ranges (PPRs) with exclude indicators, the system checks if the product entered in the business transaction or application is explicitly excluded by a corresponding active PPR.

Note Note

The check via the exclude indicator is faster than the check on existing PPRs because only PPRs with exclude indicators are checked. This improves performance. However, which check you use depends on your business scenario.

End of the note.

Integration

Depending on the business scenario, you also have the option of using a different kind of PPR check. For more information about this, see Checking Existing Partner/Product Ranges.

Prerequisites

The general prerequisites apply to the partner/product range check.

You have also selected the Exclude Only indicator for the transaction type or application to be checked in the Customizing activity Define Transaction Types and Applications Relevant for Check.

Activities

  1. You create a business transaction, for example, a sales order.

  2. Once you have entered the required data, the system searches for an active PPR that excludes the product in question. This can be an exclusion at header, item, or validity period level. No further PPRs are taken into account for the check. All products that are not in a corresponding active PPR with an exclude indicator can be entered in the business transaction.

  3. If the specified product is excluded for the account by a PPR, you receive a corresponding message.

  4. You enter a different product, or save the transaction despite the error message.
