Order History
Definition
The order history records the origin of the values for incoming orders.
Structure
The system represents the order history divided into the following categories:
AENA – New order
The current run is the first occasion that incoming orders have been determined for this billing element or project.
AEAB
– Cancellation
Incoming orders have been determined for this billing element or project. In the current run, all sales order items for the billing element or project are cancelled.
AEGA
– Order change
The sales order has been changed - that is, the total incoming order value for the billing element has changed since the last run. In this area, the system only considers the values record in the incoming order cost element of type 50 (sales revenues).
AEPA
– Plan change
None of the previous criteria is relevant. Cost planning in the billing structure has changed since the last run.
The system determines the order history in the sequence listed here. If, for example, the plan or order changes in a period, the values for the incoming order are treated as "order changes".
For "New order" and "Cancellation", you can use the Project System IMG to define whether this characteristic is to apply to the whole project or just the billing structure. The former is a good idea if only one sales order is assigned to the project.
Note
The system uses the accrued actual data to calculated the values for reducing incoming orders. The system records the values under the category
ABAF
-
Orders on hand, reducing using billing documents
Costs of sales incurred up to now and revenues affecting the result are recorded under this category.
