Accounting document - "Disc. Base" field (BSEG-SKFBT)

[Former Member]

Hello,

In the accounting document, when I click on the customer account (first line item) it opens a screen with "Additional details" sub tab and "Disc. Base" field (BSEG-SKFBT).

What is the purpose of this field?

How do we control entry into this field? In some business flows, this field value is always "0". But in other flows, there is a value that is picked up automatically.

Thanks,

Shankar

Hi,

This is part of the invoiced amount for which cash discount is granted.

During document entry, the amount qualifying for cash discount can be

determined manually or automatically. The amount is determined

automatically if no entry is made or a '*' is entered.

To determine this amount automatically, the system takes into account

the offsetting items relevant to cash discount for the invoice item and

the rules assigned per company code for processing cash discount and

taxes.

I got the same text in F1 (help).

Can somebody explain in simple, understandable terms, where is the control for this field please?

Thanks,

Dear Shankar

In continuation to the above, wherever your billing documents have condition types SKTO or SKTV, you can see the value in the respective accounting document. For rest of the documents, the value will be zero.

Hi Lakshmipathi,

Thanks a lot. You are very correct. If SKTO appears in the pricing procedure, then this field value picks value automatically.

Thanks again :).

Dear Shankar

If I am correct, the value you saw in this field (Disc. Base) is applicable where for the condition type in V/06, if you have maintained "E" for the field "Cond.category". Wherever in the accounting document, you could not see is bcoz, for those billing documents, you would not have maintained this "E". Confirm my statement is correct.

thanks
