Sales Parameters (tdsls0100s000)

	Sales Parameters (tdsls0100s000) Use this session to: View historical parameter settings, by double-clicking one of the historical parameter sets. Modify current parameter settings, by double-clicking the set without an effective date that appears at the top of the list. If you make the required changes and save the new parameter set, LN performs the following actions: Adds the new set to the history list. Updates the current set (at the top of the list). Note By default, the Description field contains the date and time when the previous parameter set was saved. Effective Date The date and time when the parameters are valid. The parameters are valid until the effective date of a more recent parameter setting. Description A user-defined name that identifies the parameter settings. Sales Order Unit of Measure The units in which item dimensions in sales orders are expressed. Note If the physical quantities length, area, or volume are defined for the item's sales unit, you can enter its corresponding measurements in the Item Dimensions (tdsls4811s000) session. The Item Dimensions (tdsls4811s000) session is automatically started when you enter order lines in the Sales Order (tdsls4100m900) session. The unit in which the measurements are entered must be linked to the physical quantity length. If you do not set this parameter, the item measurements are not retrieved when you enter order lines. Default Alternative Item Code System You can enter items in the Sales Quotation Lines (tdsls1501m000) session, the Sales Contract Lines (tdsls3501m000) session, or the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session using an alternative item code system. For example, you can enter a specific business partner's item code or the general standard (= EAN) code. LN converts this code into an internal item code. Note LN uses a search sequence at the order level to see which item code system must be used: If a specific item code system is defined for the business partner in the Item Code System - Items (tcibd0104m000) session, LN uses this specific item code system. If no specific item code system is defined for the business partner in the Item Code System - Items (tcibd0104m000) session, LN uses the item code system that is defined in the current field. The item code system that you select in this field must be of the General type. Maximum Number of Phantom Levels to be Skipped This parameter determines the default number of bill of material (BOM) levels that are summarized when you use phantoms. Note You can copy bills of material to quotations in the Copy BOM Components to Sales Quotation (tdsls1812s000) session and to sales orders in the Copy Bill of Material to Sales Order (tdsls4812s000) session. Allowed values The number of bill of material levels must be one or higher. Related topics Skipping phantom levels List Group A way to group list items. For example, you can use an SLS list group to group list items used on sales orders. A list item can belong to different list groups. Related topics Selling items from list groups Configuration Date (PCS) The date on which the bill of material is exploded. Note If this parameter is set to System Date, this parameter also determines which revision of an engineering item is valid for sales schedules. In this case, the current date is compared with the effective date or the expiry date in the revision. If this parameter has another value, the Start Date in the Sales Schedule Lines (tdsls3107m000) session determines which revision is valid. The configuration date can be the following date on the sales order/schedule: Order date System date Planned delivery date Related topics Bill of Material (BOM) Engineering items Configuration Date (UEF) The date that is used to configure an effectivity unit in the Unit Effectivity module of Common. The configuration date can be the following date on the sales order/quotation: Order date System date Planned delivery date Related topics Unit effectivity as a lean configurator in Sales Log Financial Economic Transactions When you save a sales order, this field indicates how financial transactions are created.
