Documentation

Definition

Specifies the minimum amount that is to be billed or waived.

Use

The system includes the minimum amount in the following amount categories:

  • 115050: Charge on amount
  • 115020: Item charge
  • 115030: Dispatch expenses
  • 115060: Pro rata amount
  • 170000: Automatic waiver
  • 180000: Amount limits

If the calculation result is less than the amount set up here, the amount here is used for debiting the customer or for a waiver (providing it is less than the original debit amount).

Dependencies

The minimum amount is used for amount category Amount Limits for interest amounts only if the calculated interest amounts are over zero in total. If the total is zero, the system posts zero. If the total of zero is for charges, the system still posts the minimum charge.

If there is an automatic waiver, the field has another meaning. The field specifies the minimum amount that can be waived within the Waiver Period.

If the waiver or the total of the waivers calculated in this waiver period is lower than the amount entered here, you use the minimum waiver amount. The waiver amount for each item is limited to the amount of the calculated charge.

Example

In the condition group type Settlement, a minimum amount of EUR 1.00 is set for the condition type Item Charges (for example, item counter, credit transfers). If account settlement calculates item charges of EUR 0.00-0.99, item charges of EUR 1.00 are debited to the customer.

In the Waiver condition group type, you have specified a minimum amount of EUR 1.00 and a waiver period of 3 months for the Waiver Item Charges condition type. If a waiver charge of EUR 0.80 is calculated for item charges in the first month, the waiver is raised to EUR 1.00 (assuming that the item charge is greater than or equal to EUR 1.00). In the next month the calculated waiver is not adjusted as the minimum amount (for the last 3 months) has already been reached with the waiver in the first month.

For more examples of the dependency between the Waiver From and Minimum Amount checkboxes, see SAP Library under Financial Conditions -> Condition Editing -> Editing Condition Groups -> Editing Automatic Waiver Group Box -> Calculation of Waivers.
