Definition

You use this indicator to define that you do not carry out a business volume update from purchase orders or delivery schedules in Subsequent Settlement.

Use

You can select this indicator if you do not use settlement types that require a business volume update at the time of the purchase order. The prerequisite for this is naturally that customer modifications have not been made.

If this indicator is selected, parts of the program that are usually executed when you save the above-mentioned documents are omitted.

This usually results in improved performance.

However, there is the risk that subsequent settlement functions are not executed as a result of incorrect settings. Usually, it is sufficient to configure a condition record in the document conditions to trigger the required follow-on functions. However, the check on the document conditions may be costly.

Business volume data is generally updated at the time specified in the arrangement type (PO/delivery schedule, goods receipt, invoice verification). However, the following exceptions exist, which you must bear in mind if you deactivate updating:

  • Provisions for accrued income (if active) are updated at the time of goods receipt (time of posting).
  • The update of business volume for delivery schedules with master conditions i.e. without document conditions/price determination is fixed at the time of goods receipt.
  • The update of business volume data for service items, blanket purchase orders, and invoicing plan are fixed at the time of invoice verification.

If you use these transactions, the update cannot be deactivated at the time in question.

You can select this indicator if you only use condition types that are independent of business volume.
