Number range in the case of internal number assignment

#umber that determines how documents are to be numbered by the system. "t indicates whichnumberrangeis relevant for a document type.

Use

$hen creating a document with internal number assignment,the system assigns a number that lies withinthe appropriate number range.

Procedure

%. &etermine which internal number ranges are provided for the relevant document type. 'hoosethe function )aintain number range of the document type (for example, *urchase order +)aintain number range for this purpose.-. 'hoose a number range and note its number.. /nter the number of the desired number range.

Number range in the case of external number assignment

Increment of item number in the SD document

The increment by which you want the item numbers in a sales, delivery, or billing document, to increasewhen the system automatically generates item numbers.

Use

#ote that in delivery processing, the area for item numbers above 011111 is reserved for special items(batch split and pac!aging material items and cannot be used for normal delivery items.

'hoose the item number increment so that you !now that the item number area will not be above 011111 forprocessing of your business transactions.

A sales order is required as basis for delivery

"ndicates whether a delivery that has no reference to an existing sales order is allowed.

!xample

A delivery document, for example, needs information about which item types need to be defined.

Procedure

2ou can define a pseudo order type in Table T3A4. $hen you create a delivery that does not refer to anexisting order, the system automatically uses the pseudo order type.

"equirement for item that does not refer to a sales order

"dentifies a requirements routine for a delivery item that does not refer to a sales document. The deliveryitem must meet the requirements of the routine before it can be further processed.

Use

2ou can create your own routines according to the needs of your organi5ation.

!xample

&uring delivery processing, you may want to create delivery items for returnable pac!aging. 2ou may alsowant the system to process these items and, for example, !eep trac! of stoc!s of the pac!aging material.2ou can create a routine that identifies such items and processes them accordingly.

"ule for determining the storage location for pic#ing

6pecifies how the system determines the pic!ing location when you create a delivery without entering astorage locationfor the items.

Text determination procedure

"dentifies a group oftext typesthat you can use in, for example, a sales document header. The textprocedure also determines the sequence in which the text types appear in the document.

Use

2ou can assign statistics groups to each of the following:

"tem category

6ales document type

'ustomer

)aterial

$hen you generate statistics in the logistics information system, the system uses the combination ofspecified statistics groups to determine the appropriate update sequence. The update sequence in turndetermines for exactly which fields the statistics are generated.

Ne route determination$ ith or ithout a chec#%

6pecifies whether, during delivery processing, the system uses the route that is determined during salesorder processing or whether it determines a new route.

Use"f you want to manually change the route during delivery processing, you can also specify whether you wantthe system to chec! the validity of the new route. The system chec!s the route against table T78A9, whichlists the routes that the system permits as actual routes in delivery processing.

#ote that, if the system automatically determines a new route, the system does not carry out an additionalchec! of this new route against table T78A9.

Perform Delivery Split According to &arehouse Number

sing this indicator you can control, in addition to the indicator for the delivery split, whether a delivery splitmust be for one warehouse number only. "f both indicators contain an ;, only items are contained in thedelivery whose storage location matches the delivery number entered in the header. $hen you process thedelivery+due list, setting the field to ; causes a delivery split, that is, items of different warehouse numbersare split up among different deliveries.

Delivery Split for Additional Partners

This indicator controls the systems< split behavior when delivering preceding documents that are assigned todifferent partner functions.

!xplanation

&uring the chec!s to see whether two preceding document items can be collected in one delivery, thefollowing criteria are valid with reference to the partner data:

A delivery split always occurs when the preceding items are assigned to the same partner functions

but different partners. The delivery is also split when the partners are the same but have differentaddresses.


6/8

"f one of the two items to be collected as a freight forwarder as an additionalpartner function, then

a delivery split always ta!es place and the items cannot be delivered in a =oint delivery. This systembehavior also ta!es into account the prominent role of the freight forwarder in the delivery process.

"f the additional partner function in one of the items is not a freight forwarder, then the items can be

collected into one delivery, and the additional function is copied into the header of the =oint delivery.

"f you do not require this system behavior, you can use the indicator to force a delivery split.

Use

6et this indicator if different partner functions in the preceding items to be delivered should always cause thesystem to perform a delivery split.

Automatic pac#ing using pac#ing proposal

"f this field is chec!ed, the automatic pac!ing proposal is retrieved when a delivery is created.

All items will be pac!ed.

'eneration of Delivery Items for (U Pac#aging )aterials

2ou can use this indicator to dictate whether you want to permit generation of delivery items for pac!agingmaterials in deliveries of this delivery type.

"n the pac!ing function, you can control whether item generationoccurs for particularpac#agingmaterials.2ou can ma!e this setting for each pac#aging material type.

2ou can use pac!aging+material item generation to bill pac!aging materials to customers or to maintainpac!aging materials in inventory management. 6A* recommends that you only implement item generationin goods receipt and goods issue.

*utput determination procedure

&efines the output categories(for example, order confirmation and electronic mail message that areallowed in a document and the sequence in which the output categories appear in the document.

*utput Type

6pecifies the !ind of output to be produced.

Use

The output type is predefined for your area of the 7> 6ystem. "f alternative choices are possible, you canlist them by pressing F?.

!xamples

The output type can specify, for example, a printed form that you need for internal use or a form that youwant to send to a customer or vendor (for example, an order confirmation. The output type can also be aninternal electronic mail message that you want to send to staff in another department.

Application for output conditions

"dentifies the applications from which outputcan be sent (for example, sales order processing or invoiceprocessing. The output is divided according to output types and assigned to these applications.

Partner Determination Procedure

A grouping ofpartner functions.The procedure specifies which partner functions are allowed for aparticular business transaction (for example, for processing a sales order and which of those partnerfunctions are mandatory.

Use

2ou define partner determination procedures in 6& 'ustomi5ing through Functions+ Partner determinat.

"n sales documents, for example, you can specify the partner determination procedure according

to sales document typeand item category.&uring order entry, the system first proposes partnersfrom the customer master record of the sold+to party. "f this information does not exist in thecustomer master, the system automatically proposes the mandatory partners from the partnerdetermination procedure that you specify in the document header.

For billing documents, for example, you can specify a partner determination procedure where the

sold+to party,bill+to party,and payerare mandatory but theship+to partyis not (for billing, youare more interested in who orders and pays for the goods than in who receives them.

"eschedule deliveries

2ou can control whether a redetermination of shipping deadlines should be run for bac!logged deliveriesusing this indicator.

&uring rescheduling, it is assumed that the activities that are to be carried out for the bac!log delivery canbegin on the current day at the earliest. The new shipping deadlines are redetermined from the current dateusing forward scheduling.
