Definition

A determination rule controls how a specific date (invoice due date, payment due date) is calculated. The determination rule is used in the configuration of the IFW Customizing.

Use

In standard three different determination rules are existing and can be used in the configuration:

Value 01 - Determination of a date based on commodity pricing engine (CPE)

Value 02 - Date determination based on pricing payment events (PPE)

Value 03 - Determination first on PPE and secondly on CPE

Dependencies

There are some restrictions for the mixture of CPE-related, PPE-related or goods-movement-based determination of the invoice due date. If determination rule 02 or 03 has been maintained, note the following:

For an outbound delivery or goods receipt document, the invoice due date can either be determined from PPE events or from CPE. If for some items of the document, an PPE event for the invoice due date has been maintained, while for other items it has not, only the invoice due dates from PPE will determine the invoice due date of the whole document. CPE will only contribute to the determination of the invoice due date if there is no item with relevant PPE event.

If the invoice due date is supposed to be determined from CPE, but there is no line item with a CPE condition, then the invoice due date is taken to be the date of the goods movement.
