In this IMG activity you define the item categories for the value contract and its release order. The following item categories are predefined in the standard system:
WKN (for contract type WK1, general): not relevant for billing
WKC (for contract type WK2, material-related): relevant for billing
TAN (release item for item category WKN): relevant for billing
WAC (release item for item category WKC): not relevant for billing
The rules for defining item categories for value contracts and their release orders are the same as the rules for other sales document types. The following describes the settings that you need to pay particular attention to for value contracts and release orders to value contracts:
Value contract settings
Completion rule Set the completion rule to E here (after full target value has been referenced).
Relevant for billing If you wish to bill the value contract, set the indicator to I (relevant for order-related billing - billing plans). The settings for billing plans are in Customizing for billing plans. We recommend that you work with a reference billing plan.
Billing plan type If you wish to bill the value contract, set the billing plan type to periodic. This ensures that the complete value is always billed per period.
Schedule lines permitted Because there are no schedule lines in a value contract, do not select the Sched. line allowed field.
Value contract material You need to specify a material in the item so that the system can run a technical control of value contract items that relate to assortment modules or a product hierarchy. This is important for deriving taxes and updating statistics. You can define this material here and it is then automatically copied to the item. The item category groups for the value contract must be assigned to the material in the material master. Using the combination of item category group and sales document type, the system can determine the item category for the value contract.
Contract release control If a release exceeds the agreed value in the value contract, the system responds according to the settings here (error message, warning or no response). If an error message appears, the release cannot be created. If there is no response, or a warning appears, the release can be made.
Settings for contract release
Business data at item level Because the fields at header and item level can contain different data in a value contract, select the Bus. data item field.
Relevant for billing If you want the value contract to be billed, then set the contract release item to "not relevant for billing". (In this case, you should set the value contract item to "relevant for order-related billing - billing plan"). Reverse this procedure if you want to bill individual releases.
Schedule lines permitted If you want to generate deliveries, select the Schedule lines permitted field. You can assign schedule line categories under Sales --> Sales documents --> Schedule lines.
