Documentation

Definition

Specifies an internal package number grouping together all services belonging to an item of a purchasing document.

Use

Via the package number, the program accesses the data in the individual service lines of a set of service specifications.

Example

A purchase requisition contains an item with the short text Pipelaying. This item comprises 250 individual service lines (the service specifications) detailing the services to be performed (work to be done) under this heading. Internally, the system groups together these 250 service lines under a package number.
