ISR_RET_AGENCY

With this business function you can use additional functions in the Agency Business area. You can now create extended remuneration lists from FI documents. You can create differing partner roles, payment documents without business partners in agency documents, and agency documents without tax codes. There are also new reports available for mass processing.

Integration

Prerequisites

In order for the business process logic to take the new functions of this business function into account, you must make the following settings in Customizing:

  • Extended remuneration lists from FI documents

    In Customizing for extended remuneration lists, you assign the relevant FI document types to the condition type groups of the extended remuneration lists.

  • Differing partner roles in agency documents

    You define your specific partner roles in Customizing under Start of the navigation path Logistics General Next navigation step Agency Business Next navigation step Billing Next navigation step Billing Document Types End of the navigation path. These are also taken into account during run time of the partner data check. Ensure that the relevant partner roles exist in the master data.

Features

Extended remuneration lists from FI documents

You create extended remuneration lists from FI documents and can combine any debit or credit FI document lines in a collective document and you can generate messages by way of message determination. You can also combine different partners. For example, you combine all FI documents for customers of a company in order to generate a collective document for the company headquarters.

New reports for mass processing in agency business:

  • Mass price determination for agency documents

  • Dispatcher for mass reversal

  • Dispatcher for BW setup

  • Automatic Document Adjustment

Payment document without business partner

As a rule, agency documents require a business partner. However, due to business reasons, when agency documents are being entered the following situations may arise: You must enter an agency document without business partner. Specification of a business partner is not necessary or is not possible. In order to support these situations, and in order to avoid both the data entry and the maintenance of a dummy business partner, you can use the Customizing entries to define that the entry of a business partner, for example, a vendor or a customer, is not required for agency documents.

Agency documents without tax code

Usually, agency documents require a tax code. However, due to business reasons, when agency documents are being entered the following situations may arise: You must enter an agency document without tax code. Specification of a tax code is either not required or is not possible. In order to support these situations, and in order to simplify both the data entry and the tax code determination, you can use the Customizing entries to define that the entry of a tax code is not required for agency documents.

Differing partner roles in agency documents

Due to business reasons, it is possible that you may have to define specific roles in the master data for business partners, vendor and customer for checking the eligible agency business partners, in order to separate classic logistics process from those of agency business. You can define your own specific partner roles in Customizing for this.
