Definition
Indicator informing the user that an index can be generated for subsequent settlement (Purchasing) for the customer concerned. The index is used to define the agency documents that are used for the subsequent creation of volume-rebate arrangements.
Procedure
Flag this indicator only if you are certain that you wish to use the subsequent sales update function (normally used for customer rebate arrangements) and if you are certain that documents for the specified customer are affected. If you do not take this factors into consideration, the data volume in your system will increase unnecessarily.
If necessary, an entry is created in document index table S111 for each access for all the existing access sequences in the system. Data volume may increase in your system. To ensure that data volume is not problematic, ensure that you delete any bonus-related access sequences that are not used, for example, the access sequences provided by SAP.
The indicator in the customer master is set at sales area level. Entries are always created for documents that do not have a specified sales area (there is no control function for this).
Note that this indicator is only valid for customer settlements.
In the case of single settlement requests (pricing by the customer), you have to ensure that this indicator is taken into consideration in the central control table.
This method was selected for reasons of upwards compatability as it avoids the need to recreate customer master data when there is a release upgrade to, for example, SAP R/3 Enterprise.
Before SAP R/3 Enterprise, the "Document Index" indicator for the vendor influenced the creation of enties for pricing by the customer.
After conversion, the "Document Index" indicator influences the creation of entries for pricing by the customer, even if single settlement requests are used. The vendor indicator is only relevant for pricing by the vendor.
If required, confirm the conversion: Maintain central control data.
