Use

In this step you define item categories that are used in trading contracts. The item category that is selected during trading contract processing depends on the business transaction that is being processed. The item category controls whether or not follow-on documents are required, and if they are, which sales and purchasing document types to create. The following parameters are assigned:

  • Text Determination Procedure
  • Partner Determination Procedure
  • Association Type

The following parameters must be specified:

  • Sales:
    • Item Category
      • Is generally a standard SD item category which determines the sales document type along with other handling criteria
    • Item Class
      • Defines how sales pricing is handled.
    • Expense Calculation
      • Determines whether trading expenses are to be calculated for the item during sales processing
  • Purchasing:
    • Returns Item
      • Identifies whether the item is maintained in stock and can be returned
    • Invoice Receipt
      • Determines if an invoice receipt is required to post the expense
    • Goods Receipt
      • Determines whether a goods receipt transaction is required before an invoice can be posted and processed
    • Item Class
      • Defines how purchase pricing is handled
    • Expense Calculation
      • Determines whether trading expenses are to be calculated for the item during purchasing contract processing

Example

Case 1

  • Trading contracts are back-to-back (including both sales and purchasing)

  • Purchasing: Goods receipt and invoice receipt are flagged.
  • Set Expense Calculation for both sides.

Case 2

  • Trading contracts are back-to-back (including both sales and purchasing)
  • The trading item is always shipped by the vendor directly to the customer.

In this case, you might set up the item category as follows:

  • Sales: Item category for the sales side is G2N (in standard)
  • Purchasing: Only invoice receipt is flagged

Further notes

You must also maintain the corresponding parameter settings in standard MM and SD accordingly.
