 Maintaining Conditions for Services

The conditions stored in the service master record are used in the process of source determination for purchasing documents.

To store conditions for a service master record, proceed as follows:

  1. From the Purchasing menu, choose Start of the navigation path Master data Next navigation step Service conditions Next navigation step For service Next navigation step Create. End of the navigation path

  2. Enter the service for which you wish to maintain conditions. Maintain the validity period and the amount.

  3. You can also maintain scales and supplementary conditions. Supplementary conditions are suggested from the master conditions. You can overwrite the default value.

    You can also maintain conditions at other organizational levels, e.g. for a vendor with or without a plant.

  4. Save the conditions.

Maintaining Conditions in the Purchasing Document

In purchasing documents, you can access the price calculation schema for a certain service by choosing Start of the navigation path Goto Next navigation step Conditions End of the navigation path .

You can see how the price of the service is arrived at and can change the condition types within the schema if necessary for the relevant purchasing document.

Updating the Conditions in the Service Master Record Through Conditions in the Purchasing Document

You can update the conditions in the service master record through the conditions of the current purchasing document (requisition, RFQ, PO).

A prerequisite is that the Condition update as default value in purchasing document indicator must have been set in Customizing.

This causes the conditions maintained by the user in the current purchasing document to overwrite the conditions in the service master record.

The system adopts this indicator from Customizing and inserts it in all the service lines of the document. However, the user can decide that the conditions for certain services are to remain unchanged. In this case, he or she cancels the indicator in the relevant service line of the purchasing document.

Example Example

The Condition update as default value in purchasing document indicator has been set in Customizing.

End of the example.

Conditions in the service master record:

Service A: 100.00

Service B: 80.00

Conditions in the purchase order:

Service A: 95.00

Service B: 75.00

In the case of service A, the buyer accepts the default value (updating of condition in service master record), i.e. the system changes the condition from $100 to $95.

In the case of service B, the discount applies only to this purchase order. The buyer therefore cancels the default indicator set by the system. This means that service B costs $75 in this purchase order, but the condition stipulating $80 in the service master record remains unchanged.
