hi all-
I'm looking for a way to use SAP to support in the process of selling software licenses. In another discussion I read about the suggestion to use a 'non stock item' (material type NLAG/item category NLAG). I'm still thinking about how to handle matters like:
Any suggestions? Does anyone know if there is a "SAP Best Practice" for this topic?
thx
Ben

hi Pascal-
Thanks for the link! Interesting documentation.
This SAP Best Practice shows the use of contracts, where the validity period is on contract (header level). I see a number of "challenges" with this:
when I sell hardware and a software-license, it suggests we need a regular sales order and a contract . . . Or are there other ways to deal with this
when I sell various software licenses (different types of software), each with it's own validty period. My understanding from the 'best practice' is that you need 2 contracts. Is that really the case?
kind regards,
Ben
Ben,
I had a quick look in our system: have a look at standard SAP contract type 'MV' (Rental contract). At item level there is a 'Contract date' tab which holds the validity dates at item level. You can set date rules, setup a billing plan, cancellation rules, register the installation dates, dismantling dates etc. This is probably exactly what you need.
Success with it.
P.S. are you working with ASML?
Best regards,
Pascal.
