Function documentationMaterials Management in One Exposure from Operations

 

You can integrate forecasted cash from materials management into One Exposure from Operations. Creating purchase requisition, purchase orders or scheduling agreements leads to forecasted cash that is adjusted by subsequent invoicing processes. In this integration scenario, the source application Materials Management and One Exposure run in the same system (one-system scenario).

The following business processes in Materials Management can be integrated into One Exposure:

  • Purchase requisition, purchase orders and scheduling agreements with the following:

    • Purchase requisition release

    • Price and quantity changes

    • Invoicing plans

    • Down payment requests and down payments

    • Multiple account assignment and delivery schedule

    • Consignment-, third party-, rush- and cross-company purchase orders

  • Service purchase order and its follow-up activities

  • Follow-up activities with the following:

    • Goods receipt

    • Invoice receipt

  • Purchase order with returned goods

  • Account Assignments:

    • Currency

    • Transaction Date

    • Business Area

    • Liquidity Item

    • Profit Center

    • Cost Center

    • WBS Element or a Project

    • Segment

    • G/L Account

Date and Amount

The forecasted payment date is determined based on the following:

  • Statistical delivery date that is defined in delivery schedule

  • Invoicing date that is defined in invoicing plan

  • Posting date of goods receipt if it is complete delivery, but the delivery quantity is over or under order quantity

  • Payment terms of the purchase order or scheduling agreement, and vendor master data of purchase requisition

  • Cash discount

The forecasted payment amount is determined based on the following:

  • Net amount of purchase requisition, purchase order and scheduling agreement

  • Invoice amount that is defined in invoicing plan

  • Condition in payment terms

  • Amount of invoice verification is deducted from forecasted amount of purchase order

  • Down payment and down payment request is deducted from forecasted amount of purchase order

  • For scheduling agreement, only amount defined in delivery schedule is taken into account

Other condition types, such as non-deductible input tax, are also considered.
