Definition

Prerequisites:

You have applied a bump to an order. This requires that the billing plans be synchronized. To be synchronized, the "old" billing plan must have a subsequent billing plan (field FPLA-SUPLN), and the "new" billing plan must have a reference billing plan (field FPLA-RFPLN).

System:

IS-SW marks this field with one of the following codes whenever you create or change the start date for a "new" billing plan:

- 'A' full synchronization is possible (quantity = 1 in the old
document)
- 'B' partial synchronization

When you delete a bump order the new billing plan will be marked with this code:

- 'C' deleted

Action:

You have selected to use automatic synchronization. When you select this feature, IS-SW performs the following operations:

- The billing plan is included in the list created by transaction VBSY.
- The billing plan is synchronized each time you select it.
- This field is cleared when the automatic synchronization is
successful. You have to clear this field if you want a setting
different than the one the automatic synchronization function
suggests.
