ABP charge determination

When a sales order, which fulfills the activity-, base- and criterion, makes its way through the sales order cycle an ABP charge calculation program is called to check if a charge is defined for the current activity and order. The charge calculation program searches for an amount to be charged on the basis of the activated activity-, base- and criterion code combinations in the ABP chargeable activity table. For each of the combinations, the Work with ABP conditions file is checked if an amount is defined for the current criterion contents of the processed order (e.g. order type or route). Determined charges are added to an ABP charge file to be the basis for the ABP invoice generation. You can view the records in the charge file via the ABP charges enquiry.

Generate the ABP sales orders

On a regular basis you can generate the ABP sales orders. This is done via the ABP invoice selection routine which uses the DI interface. This routine selects all charges from the ABP charge file according to the selection and will create normal sales orders of type ABP in the regular sales order entry routine. The fictitious item for which the charge will apply will be assigned as well as the default order type for activity based pricing orders. In addition, if the sales order type that is to be used for ABP invoice (sales order) creation was set up with no documents except for invoice, the order status will automatically be set to 45. During the ABP invoice selection routine, a list will also be printed. You can choose if you want to have the charges summarized on the printout per fictitious item.

  1. Select the ABP invoice selection menu item.
  2. You access the ABP invoicing panel. Make your selections and then choose if you want to have the charges summarized on the printout per fictitious item and if you want to print a control list by completing the following fields:
    3. Create details
    If you set this field to NO, the amount to charge will be summarized per customer and fictitious item. If you set this field to YES, every line on the ABP sales order will be printed.
    Control list
    Set this field to YES if you want to print a control list.

    Complete the remaining printer related fields and click OK.
