Use this session to specify material information for a price list or buy-from business partner/ship-from business partner, and item. The material information is date-effective.

Leave fields blank if the material information must apply to all business partners. For example, if you leave the Ship-from Business Partner field blank, the material information applies to all ship-from business partners.

 

Price List

List of default prices and discounts for customers and suppliers. You can link price lists to items and item groups, and to sold-to and buy-from business partners.

If a price list is specified, you cannot specify a business partner in the current session. The item material information then applies to all buy-from business partners that have the price list linked in the Buy-from Business Partners (tccom4520m000) session.

Buy-from Business Partner

The business partner from whom you order goods or services; this usually represents a supplier's sales department. The definition includes the default price and discount agreements, purchase-order defaults, delivery terms, and the related ship-from and invoice-from business partner.

Note

If a business partner is specified, you cannot specify a price list in this session.

Ship-from Business Partner

The business partner who ships the ordered goods to your organization. This usually represents a supplier's distribution center or warehouse. The definition includes the default warehouse at which you want to receive the goods and if you want to inspect the goods, the carrier that takes care of the transport, and the related buy-from business partner.

Note

If a business partner is specified, you cannot specify a price list in this session.
