Documentation

Definition

Specifies which process started the Post Processing Framework (PPF).

Use

The PPF is used to create an agency business document from a customer billing document. You use the possible attributes of the field to see which processing method triggered the PPF.

The possible attributes are:

  1. During billing document creation
  2. From the Trading Execution Workbench (TEW)
  3. During billing document creation

Dependencies

Example

When creating a customer billing document and cancelling an agency business document that was generated from a customer billing document with the TEW, PPF actions must be created so that new agency business documents can be created. The PPF action can be the same in both cases. It should be possible to define the processing time of the action in Customizing on an individual basis:

  • During billing document creation, the PPF action can be processed at the same time as the billing document is saved.
  • If the PPF action is generated from the TEW (more precisely, when cancelling an agency business document), processing may only take place after the system has successfully created the reversal document.
  • When cancelling the billing document, no further PPF action should be created for the billing document.
