Distribution Scenarios
Purchasing Information Record / Contract
When maintaining info records and contracts it is assumed that change documents will be created for the actual data as well as for the relevant conditions.
Data dispatch is then carried out separately.
During inbound processing of conditions, checks are made to see whether the info record or the contract is already available in the target system with the same number as in the source system.
Rebate Agreement in Purchasing (Agreement)
The applicable conditions can be dispatched manually once. The change documents belonging to them are not processed.
Other Agreements (KONA reference)
Conditions for these cannot be dispatched.
Free Goods Conditions
Cannot be dispatched.
SP with Material (Retail)
Price transfer as a pure document condition and not as a master condition takes place using the branch and customer order Idocs (from 4.0A)
Conditions for agreements create problems, because the statistics for the corresponding agreements are related to the condition record numbers. When posting condition changes to an agreement, a new condition record number is assigned in the target system and the statistics previously available can no longer be used.
If you find that this is not yet available (condition distribution has taken over contract distribution) in the target system (with the same number as in the source system) during processing of conditions for agreements or contracts, the condition Idocs are not processed. They remain in inbound processing and can be redirected back to posting later if the contracts/info records are available.
