Various FORM routines are available for determining applicable rates. For example, routines can support processing on the basis of

  • fixed rates
  • key dates
  • average quoted rates
  • provision rates
  • coverage rates

In a further detail screen you define which rate determination modules are used for the individual FORM routines.

Examples of rate determination routines

Fixed rate:

A fixed rate can be proposed from tables or entered/changed by the appropriate processor. The rate determination module performs calculations with the desired rate - if necessary without using further procedures or checking the validity of the fixed rate - in order to arrive at a net rate.

Key date:

Daily quoted rates must be maintained by users. If no rate is found for the specified date, the last valid entry is used but the raw material type is blocked for billing.

Average rate:

An average rate is calculated for each raw material type once per month. The rate is the average of the day rates for that month. The system takes the average rate from a table and, if necessary, adds a surcharge stored in the table in order to arrive at the net rate. If no rate is found for the specified month, the last valid entry is used but the raw material type is blocked for billing.

Provision:

NF metals may also be provided by the customers themselves. In this case, the manufacturer manages the metals with the "special stock" status in accordance with the SAP R/3 standard.

Coverage:

On the basis of a customer agreement, the cable manufacturer purchases a defined quantity of NF metals at a specified rate or at a fixed rate without reference to individual orders. Withdrawals of metals when needed are posted in order processing.

Recommendation

Use the default FORM routines.

Activities

You can create new FORM routines or add new rate determination modules to existing routines.
