The business partner that identifies the SMA for a transaction.
Shipping Material Accounting Scheme (whwmd4171m000)Use this session to link business partners and packaging item combinations to shipping material accounts (SMA). The business partner and item combination identify the shipping material account for a packaging item transaction. The session is used to find the correct shipping material account for a packaging item transactions. The business partner and item link to shipping material account is based on effective dates. You can specify a future effective date to make a new set of shipping material accounts available for the future. If you do not specify an item, it indicates that an SMA is linked to a BP for all items. If you do not specify a SMA , it indicates that an item is not accountable. Note LN records the packaging item transactions only when the:
The following are the important characteristics of the shipping material accounting scheme:
When linking accounts to transactions, LN first tries to retrieve an account at the business partner/item combination level. If business partner/item combination account is not found, LN falls back to the more general business partner level and tries to find an account to link to the transaction. In case shipping material accounting schemes are defined at business partner level, all items for a business partner or a group of business partners are linked to one account. The following options are available to exclude specific packaging items from detailed transaction logging:
When searching for a shipping material account (SMA) for a transaction, LN searches for an entry in the shipping material accounting scheme that has an effective date which is closest to the transaction date. Expiry dates are not defined. The expiry date of an existing entry in the shipping material accounting scheme is determined by the effective date of a new entry in the accounting scheme. Multiple business partners can be linked to the same shipping material accounting scheme. The following scenarios are in place: Scenario 1: All packaging items linked to one SMA. This scenario can be achieved by defining an entry in the accounting scheme in which:
Scenario 2: All possible packaging items are linked to one
SMA, with the possibility to exclude specific items for
accounting You can achieve this scenario by defining an entry in the accounting scheme in which you specify the business partner but do not specify the item. In addition to this, the user must define an entry in the accounting scheme in which both the business partner and item are specified but the shipping material account is not specified.
Scenario 3: Linking a specified subset of the packaging
items to an SMA Only the selected items are linked to the SMA. You can achieve this scenario by defining a set of entries in the accounting scheme in which both the business partner and item are specified, one entry for every single item.
Scenario 4: The majority of the packaging items must be
linked to one account, a small subset of the packaging items must be linked to
a different account You can achieve this scenario by setting up two accounts. In the accounting scheme, one entry is created in which the business partner is specified but the item is not specified. Other entries are created having both the item and business partner filled.
Scenario 5: Searching the SMA for a Site You can achieve this scenario by defining an entry in the accounting scheme in which:
You can achieve this scenario by defining an entry in the accounting scheme in which:
