GPOD Item and Schedule Line Data (Quick Guide) 

Use

We would like to draw your attention to the functions and options named below, which are available in change mode. (There is a reduced set of functions available in display mode).

Features

In item processing, you can only enter one value for a field that you have defined as a grouping criterion in Customizing, that is then valid for all items. A cross-item check informs you of any differences.

·         with the quick info text Schedule Line

You can create, copy, and delete schedule lines with reference to the selected item.

·         with the quick info text Mass Change

If one of the fields is a grouping criterion, you can enter one value for all items directly in the field.

You can change the values for Site, Storage Location, Delivery Date and Transfer Date over all items (and schedule lines). The delivery date and transfer date can only be changed if the datelines of all schedule lines for all items are identical. The system opens a dialog box in which you can enter the new value for all rows.

If you set the Only Change Identical Data indicator, the system checks whether all items have identical values for the site and storage location. In this case, the system changes the value in all items according to your entry, otherwise processing is cancelled.

·         with the quick info text Delete Item(s)/Reverse Del.

You can delete items that were created manually and that items that have not been saved. The deletion cannot be reversed.

For items that have already been saved, the system either sets or removes the deletion indicator.

·         with the quick info text Put Item(s) Back

You can delete selected items that carry a reference to the order list from the grouped purchase order document. The system flags the items in the grouped purchase order document with the deletion indicator and copies them back to the order list.

·         with the quick info text Copy Article List

You can select an article list from the hierarchy, and select and copy articles from this list. You must then add the rest of the order information, such as quantity and site. For more information, see Article List.

·         with the quick info text Execute Contract Determination

You can tell the system to determine existing contracts on the basis of data, such as, vendor, article, site, and latest order date. If several contracts match the criteria, you can select one from a dialog box. Also see Contract Use and Contract Budget.

·         with the quick info text Additional Functions

You can branch to other functions with reference to the selected item, for example, to the variant matrix.
