Definition

Per activity type, controls which deadline logic is applied.

Notes

This indicator only takes effect if the deadline logic indicator is set in the recipient master record. The values are proposed as default values when shipping documents are entered. This indicator is used in combination with the end of deadline.

Activities

Define which deadline logic you want to be relevant for which document type/transaction type/activity type. If document types, transaction types and activity types have not been entered in the table, then this has the same effect as space=no deadline.

Possible values

Space = no deadline
1 = minimum usage period (example 1)
2 = release notification (example 2)
3 = days of grace (example 3/special case)
4 = unrestricted usage (example 4)

Example 1

Shipping document, transaction type - shipping - with activity type "in operation".
Deadline indicator: 1 (minimum usage period)

An equipment item is delivered to construction site A on 07.05. The deadline logic indictaor is set in the recipient master record. Minimum usage period for restricted usage (days) is filled with 30 days. Release notification allowancw for unrestricted usage (days) is irrelevant to deadline indicator 1 (minimum usage period).

Result: End of deadline is 08.05. The TBE item is charged for for 30 days even if it was sent to another site or there was a change of activity type after 10 days.

However, if the equipment item is in operation for longer than the minimum usage period, then the restricted usage is converted to unrestricted usage and the deadline logic for unrestricted usage takes effect.

Example 2

Shipping document, transaction type - change of activity type to activity type "released/ready for use".
Deadline indicator: 2 (released/ready for use)

Equipment item is sent to site A on 07.05.

The deadine logic indicator is set in the recipient master record. The release notification allowance for unrestricted usage (days) is 20 days. Minimum usage period for restricted usage (days) is irrelevant.

Result: if the TBE item is sent as of the release notification allowance limit of 07.26. (07.05. + 20 days from release notification allowance for unrestricted usage) without prior notice, then a surcharge for unrestricted usage (days) will be charged for example, for 2 days.

No release notification is necessary before 07.26.

Example 3

Shipping document, transaction type - shipping with activity type "in operation".
Deadline indicator: 3 (days of grace release notification)

Equipment item is sent to site A on 07.05. The deadline logic indicator is set in the recipient master record. The release notification allowance for unrestricted usage (days) is 20 days. Minimum usage period for restricted usage is 30 days.

Result: if the equipment item is notified as being released for use by 08.05., then 30 days are charged in accordance with the minimum usage period for restricted usage (days) (as deadline indicator 1).

If the equipment item is not notified as being released for use until 08.10., then the release notification is registered but the extra days from the release notification allowance for unrestricted usage are charged in settlement accounting in the form of a "days of grace" surcharge.

Settlement result:
07.05.-08.10. normal settlement in accordance with shipping document
10.08.-30.08. "days of grace" surcharge of 20 days

Special case:

If the equipment item in example 3 were to be converted to being in operation again on 08.12. (during the period of grace), then the following would take place:

Settlement result:
07.05.-08.10. normal settlement in accordance with shipping document
08.10.-08.30. "days of grace" surcharge of 20 days
08.12.-08.30. additional settlement in accordance with shipping document

Example 4

Shipping document, transaction type - shipping with activity type "in operation".

Settlement result as in example 3/special case, but if deadline indicator 4 is set (unrestricted usage) then the following applies:

07.05.-08.10. normal settlement in accordance with shipping document
08.10.-08.12. "days of grace" surcharge
08.12.-08.30. normal settlement (in operation)

Recommendation

Document type Transaction type Activity type Deadline ind.
Shipping doc. Acquisition E 1
Shipping doc. Acty type change F 3 *
Shipping doc. Acty type change E 4
Shipping doc. Shipping E 1
