Use

Use this step to define the derivation strategy you need to apply the principle of prudence in your installation.

Using this solution, credit memo processing can be customized so that the credit memos only impact budget at the point of collection. This requires the system to delay the update to Funds Management (FM) until the credit memo is collected or offset against another vendor invoice.

Requirements

Standard settings

As a minimum, the following fields are available for use in determining whether the credit memo update to FM is delayed:

  • Fund
  • Fund Type
  • Trading Partner
  • Document Type

Activities

You can create, change and delete steps and also change their order.

Create Step

  1. Choose Create Step.

    If you want to add a new step to the derivation strategy, select the step before which you want to insert the new step and choose Create Step.

  2. Choose the derivation step type that you want from those offered to you.
  3. Enter a text and source and target field for the derivation step. For the source and target fields, you can determine Field characteristics.
    • Source Field
      • You can determine that initial values are permitted. This means that a derivation is carried out if the source field is not filled.
    • Target Field
      • For the target field you can determine that:
      The new value is not copied if a value from a previous derivation step already exists.
      The new value is copied even if the new value is blank (space)
      The new value is copied when the new value is filled.
      Note: If you use this setting you can determine, for example, that the derived value cannot be overwritten manually.
    • Source Fields and Target Fields

      In addition to the derivation step type "Derivation Rule", you can determine that either the entire field contents, or only a part of the field contents is included.

  4. If the derivation step should only be performed according to specific conditions, for example, only for specific account assignment values, enter this on the Condition tabpage. The derivation step is only executed when all conditions for the fields are fulfilled.
  5. Define Step Characteristics on the Characteristics tabpage, for example, if an error message should be issued, if no target value can be determined.
    • An error message should be issued if the derivation step is not successfully derived. Otherwise the strategy will not be continued.
    • The execution of the strategy should be terminated if a suitable value is found in the derivation step. Otherwise the strategy is completed.

      Note: If you are using derivation step type "Derivation Rule", you can make the following additional entries: Assignment Derivation.

      You can make additional specifications on the Characteristics tab; for example, you can allow the entry of a validity date for a step and therefore make it time-dependent.

  6. When you have saved the new entry, go back to the complete list.
  7. To assign a company code to a strategy, select the strategy and choose company code assignment in the dialog window.
  8. Choose new entries in the overview that follows and enter the company code you want to assign to the strategy.

Change/Delete Step

  • When making a change, you have all the options described under "Create Step".
  • To delete an entry, select the relevant step and choose Delete.

Change Step Sequence

  1. Select the step you want to move.
  2. Position the cursor below the target position.
  3. Choose Move.
