Use

In this IMG activity, you define which TEW (Trading Execution Workbench) steps can be linked with one another by association.

Requirements

Standard settings

Activities

Enter the allowed step combinations for all steps (documents) that are to be used in the association function.

The steps entered here correspond to the TEW steps defined in TEW customizing. If a particular step you want to use in the association function does not yet exist, you must first create it in the TEW and then specify its allowed association partners.

There are three check flags for each step combination:

  • Association not manually changeable
  • If this flag is set, you cannot change or delete the association partner. This check is active when you use the Association mode, and when the Cross-reference/association on the fly dialog box is called.
  • Association cannot be deleted
  • This check is active only for purchasing-side documents. If you set this flag, the system returns an error message if you try to delete a purchasing document that has an association partner.
  • Association is completed
  • This check means that the association is completed with this step combination. This setting has no influence on the standard association process, but can be used in the check/enhancement class in the TEW.

Example

A specific business process allows users to link sales documents and procurement documents when creating contracts and delivery documents. However, creating associations is permitted only during sales document processing. In this case, the following step combinations are possible:

Receiving Step        Associated Step

Sales contract        Purchase contract

Sales contract        Goods receipt (as stock)

Delivery request        Purchase order

NOTE: Receiving step refers to the document for which an association is actively being created. Associated step refers to the document that is chosen as an association candidate.

Further notes

The system recognizes the difference between receiving steps and associated steps. If you want to allow associations to be created during purchasing processing as well sales processing, you must add the appropriate entries to indicate that the purchasing-side documents concerned can also be treated as receiving steps.
