Setting the ‘Required’ indicator makes the condition type mandatory for the pricing procedure to complete. Configuring the access sequence to include a record (often with a procedure like ‘A – Alternative condition type’ or a specific condition record with a zero value) ensures the system always finds a record during access, thus populating the condition type. This meets the requirement of guaranteed determination for process triggering, even without an actual price.

Milestone billing plans are explicitly designed for scenarios where billing is tied to the completion of specific business events or project milestones (like delivery, installation, acceptance). This directly maps to the client’s requirement of invoicing based on concrete events in the machinery installation process.

Revenue account determination in SD is primarily driven by the combination of account key (from the billing type) and product hierarchy (from the material master). The customizing table VKOA (Account Determination: G/L Accounts) is where these assignments are made. If the product hierarchy is not correctly linked to the required G/L account via the account key, the system will not propose the correct accounts.

To prevent automatic creation of subsequent documents, the key is in the document type’s control settings for the follow-up document types. Leaving the ‘Delivery type’ and ‘Billing type’ fields empty (or assigning a special type configured for no output) tells the system not to propose a follow-up document. It’s also important that blocks are not mandatory, as the goal is prevention, not a block that needs to be removed.

For batch determination to work in returns (or any transaction), the material must first be defined as batch-managed in its master data. Furthermore, the ‘Batch determination’ checkbox in the ‘Sales: Sales Org. 2’ view of the material master must be activated. This setup allows the system to use the batch determination strategy (which can be configured to search for the original batch) during the return delivery process.

Transaction VBO1 (Settlement of Rebate Agreements) is the core tool for managing rebate accruals and final settlement. In the accrual run, the system calculates the rebate amounts earned to date based on the agreement conditions and creates accounting documents to post the liability, ensuring the financial statements reflect the pending rebate obligations.

A static credit check compares the order value against a single, fixed credit limit stored in the customer master (FDGRP). A dynamic credit check is more comprehensive; it calculates the customer’s current credit exposure by totaling the values of all open sales documents (orders, deliveries, billing documents) and then compares this total exposure to the credit limit. Dynamic checking provides a real-time view of risk.

Text determination is configured in the customizing path: Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Text Control. Transaction VOTXN is used to define text determination procedures for sales documents. To have a text (like terms of payment) copied from the customer master to the sales order header, you must define a text procedure that includes the relevant text ID and source, and then assign that text procedure to the desired sales document types in their configuration.

Requirement routines are ABAP code snippets attached to condition records or, in this case, output types. By assigning a requirement routine (e.g., requirement 1) to the MEDRUCK output type in the output determination procedure, you can program logic that checks the document’s net value. The routine can return ‘true’ (output relevant) only if the value is > 0, thereby enforcing the business rule directly within the output determination process.

Setting the ‘Required’ indicator makes the condition type mandatory for the pricing procedure to complete. Configuring the access sequence to include a record (often with a procedure like ‘A – Alternative condition type’ or a specific condition record with a zero value) ensures the system always finds a record during access, thus populating the condition type. This meets the requirement of guaranteed determination for process triggering, even without an actual price.0
