Customizing Settings 

Transaction Type

The master agreement requires its own transaction type. SAP delivers the transaction type MAU (master agreement utilities) as standard. The group contract is the leading business transaction category for the group contract.

Item Category

An individual item category is required for the master agreement. SAP delivers the item category ISUM (item category utilities) as standard. This category contains its own condition group for pricing. The condition group specifies which condition type that can be used with which condition table for price agreement in a document. You must enter a condition group for the master agreement, as this is the only way that price agreements can be set in documents.

Set the Master Agreement (OC) indicator for item categories that are to be used with a master agreement. To do this, go to the Customizing menu for Customer Relationship Management and select Industry-Specific Solutions ® Utilities Industry ® Transactions ® Settings for Utilities Transactions ®Define Settings for Item Categories.
