Documentation

Use

You can define a function module here that checks if any special situations exist when an adjustment of a distribution is required.

In a special situation, you not only want to react to under or over- deliveries but to other parameters. If you enter a function module here and this identifies a special situation, you have the following options open to you:

  • The function module entered returns another function module that should be used for the adjustment.

Example

When there is an underdelivery, you normally use a method to distribute the goods to the store based on internal priorities. If the goods are pre-packed, you would want to handle the adjustment differently

You therefore enter a function module you created yourself that recognizes pre-packed goods as a special situation. A different function module that you enter in a special field - see function module in special situations - carries out the distribution.

Notes

The interface of the function module you enter here must be the same as the function module contained in the standard system W_FRM_DETERMINE_PREPACK (function group WFR14).
