Documentation
Use of the key figure for analysis purposes
This key figure should give the observer an overview of the procedures used.
Optimization procedures are particularly required, if only a few procedures are used but often.
In cases where only a few procedures are used, they can be set up so that they are valid for a large number of business transactions.
This means that the overall complexity of partner relevant dependencies such as customers, forwarding agents, buying groups, commission recipient etc. as well as organizational dependencies must be covered in fewer procedures. Unless: all of these things are not really complex and therefore can be covered quite easily.
The maintenance of complex models as well as the non-trivial simulation of expected results requires a lot of personal resources and careful work. Whenever things are put together in reduced form, this generally leads to quicker, simplified and more comprehensible results.
Notes for optimization
There are several measures for optimizing large procedures:
Dividing into smaller procedures and their assignment in procedure determination. Assignments are made at sales document type and item type level.
Elimination of unused or unnecessary partner functions.
These measures are relevant steps, which should always be carried out.
If you cannot carry out these measures, there remains only the optimization approaches, relevant for objects within a procedure, such as access optimization and setting conditions.
Tolerances
It is normally a good idea to use at least five (5) different procedures.
Using three or less than three procedures on the one hand enables simple processing but on the other leads to unfavourable modelling.
A partner determination procedure should contain a maximum of ten (10)
partner functions.
A partner determination procedure should contain a maximum of three (3) partner functions with partner hierarchies.
