Note for the industry solution component Public Sector Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (IS-PS-CA)
In Release 4.72, this Customizing transaction replaces the transaction FMCACOLLAG in the industry component Public Sector Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable. SAP does not support a migration of the existing entries to this activity. In order to be able to continue using existing derivation rules, enter these manually in this activity. For more information, click here.
Use
In this activity, you define the derivation rules that the derivation tool uses to determine the relevant collection agency.
The derivation tool is called via the module FKK_COLL_AG_SAMPLE_5060 when an item is released for collection in the transaction FP03E (individual release) or FP03M (mass release).
The derivation tool determines the relevant collection agency in one or more derivation steps from a sequence of source fields of the enhanceable structure FKKCOLLAG. The following derivation steps are possible:
- Derivation rule
- Table access
- Assignment
- Initialization
The source fields originate in the master data of the business partner, his address data, and the data of the open items to be submitted. You can use the collection agency and two temporary interim results as target fields. Here you can assign values from a first derivation step to source fields of a subsequent derivation step.
In addition to the definition of the derivation steps, you can also use this activity to test the derivation strategy defined. To do this, call up the function F8 Test.
Limitations
You cannot use amount fields as source fields for a derivation rule. To implement amount-dependent rules, in your derivation rules, define a condition that references to the amount field.
The length of all source fields for a derivation rule must not exceed 127 characters. You should therefore only use text fields such as city or street in special cases. Alternatively, you can use a multi-level derivation rule where you use a temporary interim result.
Requirements
You have maintained collection agencies in the activity Define Collection Agency.
Standard settings
Activities
Example
In a first derivation step, restrict the number of collection agencies available for selection using the address data of the business partner (for example, postal code), and save this information in a temporary interim result.
In a second derivation step, use this temporary interim result and the amount of the receivable (for example, amount > 1000) to determine the relevant collection agency.
A two-level procedure has the advantage that the characteristics for determining the receivable type and the address data of the business partner are not included as multiplier (m*n) but as additive (m+n) this minimizes the maintenance required for the derivation rules.
