Price group (customer)

A grouping of customers who share the same pricing requirements.

You can define price groups according to the needs of your organization and create pricing records for each group. You can, for example, define a group of customers to whom you want to give the same kind of discount. You can assign a price group to an individual customer either in the customer master record or in the sales document.

The system can propose the price group from the customer master record. You can change the proposed value manually in the sales document at both header and item level.

Price list type

Identifies a price list or other condition type (for example, a surcharge or discount).

You can define price list types according to the needs of your own organization. Price list types can be grouped according to:

the kind of price list (for example, wholesale or retail)

the currency in which the price appears

the number of the price list type

You can use price list types to apply conditions during pricing or to generate statistics.

In the customer master record, enter one of the values predefined for your system. The system proposes the value automatically during sales order processing. You can change the value manually in the sales document header.

Exchange Rate Type

Key representing a type of exchange rate in the system.

You enter the exchange rate type to store different exchange rates.

Example

You can use the exchange rate type to define a buying rate, selling rate, or average rate for translating foreign currency amounts. You can use the average rate for the currency translation, and the bank buying and selling rates for valuation of foreign currency amounts.

Partial delivery at item level

Specifies whether the customer requires full or partial delivery for the item.

You use this field to control partial deliveries at the item level. If the customer allows partial delivery, you can choose from different partial delivery options. For example, you can specify whether the customer allows you to make one delivery attempt only on the requested delivery date or whether unlimited delivery attempts are possible.

When partial delivery indicator 'D' is set, the order can never have status 'fully delivered'. You must complete each item by entering a reason for rejection. This could be applied to scheduling agreements, for example.

Dependencies

You can enter a value in this field only if the customer allows partial deliveries for the entire sales document.

Invoice dates (calendar identification)

Identifies the calendar that determines the schedule of billing dates for the customer.

If, for example, a customer wants to consolidate the invoices you send out, you can predefine the billing schedule in a calendar in the system. During billing, the system automatically proposes the appropriate billing date from the calendar

The system proposes the billing schedule from the customer master record of the payer. You can change the value manually in the sales document.

Invoice list schedule (calendar identification)

Identifies the customer's factory calendar that is used during the processing of invoice lists.

An invoice list is a list of invoices (single or collective) that you create for the customer either periodically or on predefined dates. The periods and dates are defined in the customer's factory calendar. Typically, the recipient of an invoice list takes on the responsibility for collecting payments from numerous individual customers and receives a factoring or del credere discount for the service.

If you want to create invoice lists for the customer, you must enter an identifier for a predefined factory calendar.

Requirements

You must first define a factory calendar for the customer either in Customizing for Sales or as part of the master data for Sales (Menu path: Logistics -> Sales & distribution -> Master data -> Others -> Billing schedules).

dear divya

Exchange Rate type: Ex. 0011

Assign exchange rate type so that the system uses this rate if the Customer pays the money in Foreign Currency

Partial Delivery per Item:

[ ] Partial delivery allowed

A Create delivery with quantity > 0

B Create only one delivery also quantity = 0

C Only complete delivery allowed

D No limit to subsequent deliveries

The value of this field unable to split line item into different deliveries.

Maximum partial Deliveries: By default it is 9 maximum

The value of this field controls maximum splitting of Sales Order line items.

If we have D in maximum partial delivery field then maximum partial delivery field doesn’t serve any purpose.

Invoice List:

It is the list of all the invoices of the same Customer – payer, then the recipient of the invoice take the responsibility for colleting payments from the numerous individual Customers and receives a factory discount

Dear Friend,

1. the exchange rate : It is used in the scenerio of the exports and imports sales.

For example when a Customer having currency INR for a particular Company code:

Buys a product from adifferent company code with currency EURO

here we maintain the average transalation from the INR to EURO by maintaining exchange type.

go to the following link:

2. Partial delivery

You use this field to control partial deliveries at the item level. If

the customer allows partial delivery, you can choose from different

partial delivery options. For example, you can specify whether the

customer allows you to make one delivery attempt only on the requested

delivery date or whether unlimited delivery attempts are possible.

When partial delivery indicator 'D' is set, the order can never have

status 'fully delivered'. You must complete each item by entering a

reason for rejection. This could be applied to scheduling agreements,

This is used for the customer who wants the quantity of the order to be delivered in full not in batches.

3.Subsequent invoice processing:

Indicates if the invoices for manual post processing should be printed

out.

I am not clear about the third..
