Unit Effectivity Parameters (tcuef0100s000)

Use this session to define and maintain the unit effectivity parameters.

 

Effective Date

The date and time that the parameters are valid. The parameters are valid up to the effective date of a more recent parameter setting.

Description

The description of the parameter set. For example, you can indicate why you change the parameters. If you do not edit the description, and you create a newer parameter set, the description of the former parameter set displays the introduction date in the Unit Effectivity Parameters (tcuef0500m000) session.

Generate Effectivity Unit during Demand Entry
Generate Effectivity Unit during Demand Entry

This check box determines how unit effectivity is applied in the following places:

  • On a sales order line in the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session.
  • On a sales quotation line in the Sales Quotation Lines (tdsls1501m000) details session.
  • On a sales contract line in the Sales Contract Lines (tdsls3501m000) details session.

If this check box is selected, an effectivity unit is automatically generated if you create a new sales quotation line or sales order line for a unit effective item. The effectivity unit can be used for pegging purposes. If desired, you can click Requirements to select requirements to model the item. Unit effectivity is then used as a simple configurator. The effectivity unit is linked to the series that is defined in the Default Series field.

If this check box is cleared, and you create a new sales order line, sales quotation line, or sales contract line for a unit effective item, the effectivity unit is by default 0 (zero). Only if you click Requirements, an effectivity unit is created, after which you can select requirements to model the unit effective item.

Default Series

If the Generate Effectivity Unit during Demand Entry check box is selected, effectivity units are automatically generated for unit effective items on the sales order lines. Those effectivity units are linked to the series defined in this Default Series field.

Miscellaneous
All Effectivity Units are Interchangeable

If this check box is selected, all effectivity units are interchangeable for all orders. Interchangeability means that the demand for specific material and/or end items can be exchanged between orders that contain different effectivity units.

  • Set the series length of the number group to zero.
  • Define one series for the number group in the First Free Numbers (tcmcs0150m000) session.
