Definition

In the definition of a grouping variant, you can assign a rank to the individual grouping characteristics. The rank of the grouping characteristic is considered during the determination of the invoicing units in the following case:

  • In the grouping variant, an alternative grouping value is defined for a grouping characteristic.
  • For an alternative grouping value, the value in the alternative use field is 1 as 0, if all characteristics with higher rank agree .

Note:

  • A grouping characteristic with rank 0 has the highest rank.
  • A grouping characteristic with rank 1 has a higher rank than a grouping characteristic with rank 2.

Use

When creating invoicing units, the system checks which documents have the same grouping characteristics. Different grouping characteristics normally lead to two documents not being included in the same invoicing unit. If a document receives a grouping value for which the alternative use 1 as 0, if all characteristics with higher rank agree has been maintained, the grouping characteristics with a lower rank are ignored.

Example

  • A grouping variant uses a grouping characteristic with rank 0, two characteristics with rank 1, and one characteristic with rank 2.
  • During the creation of invoicing units, the system discovers a document where a grouping characteristic with rank 1 has a value for which the alternative use 1 as 0, if all characteristic with higher rank agree has been maintained.
  • The document can be included in an invoicing unit with other documents if the grouping characteristic with rank 0 is the same. Differences in other grouping characteristics with rank 1 or 2 are not considered.

Dependencies

If you do not use the alternative use 1 as 0, if all characteristics with higher rank agree in a grouping variant, you do not have to maintain the rank of the grouping characteristics.

Example

For examples for the definition of grouping variants with a rank, see below.
