Documentation
Definition
Number of months before the key date that have to be covered by billing documents for the business partner to be included in the selection.
Use
During business partner segmentation, the consumption history can be evaluated based either on the number of billed documents or on the number of elapsed months. Only documents that have been released and have not been cancelled are taken into account.
Example
Enter a value of 4 when the billing data from the last 4 months are representative for determining the business partner's annual consumption.
The system then examines the period that starts 4 months before the key date, which has to be entered during business partner segmentation and ends on the key date.
The system then searches for suitable information in the business partner's billing documents for the division specified in the selection screen and every operand that has been defined in the evaluation group and prorated in the selection screen. The system checks whether the union of the billing periods of these billing documents is completely contained in the examined period.
If so, the consumption in the found business partner's billing documents is accumulated for each division and operand. The annual consumption is extrapolated linearly from the accumulated consumption and the union of the underlying billing periods.
