Customs Value

The tax that is levied on an export article's value.

The customs value is used during the customs check. If this field is filled, the customs value need not be calculated when passing the customs, which saves time and transport costs.

For direct deliveries, the customs value is passed on to the purchase order from the sales order, in which case you cannot change the customs value on the purchase order. For more information, refer to Direct delivery.

Note

The customs value only applies if the goods are delivered by Warehousing. If this field is filled and you release the order to Warehousing, the customs value is defaulted to Warehousing.

Default value

This field is defaulted with the item's purchase price. If the purchase price is zero, the item's standard cost is displayed by default.

The customs value is calculated as follows:

price - order line discounts - order header discount

You can manually change the default value.

For example, you can change the customs value if:

  • A company delivers a spare part that is covered by the guarantee. The spare part's price is zero, but the spare part's value, and as a result the customs value, is greater than zero.
  • A company lends out a machine to a business partner abroad. The price for this service is zero, however the machine's value, and as a result the customs value, is greater than zero.
Note
  • If Print Purchase Orders (tdpur4401m000) is an automatic activity for the applicable order procedure, the customs value is not printed. For further information on order procedure activities, see Purchase Order Type (tdpur0694m000).
  • The customs value is not printed if, in the Purchase Order (tdpur4100m900) session, you press Ctrl-P or click the print button and select Preview Purchase Orders to print purchase order data.

Purchase Type

A purchase order property that enables you to identify the kind of purchase made and in this way, the kind of payable. This property is used to post the purchase to the correct Accounts Payable account when the invoice is created. To post a purchase invoice, LN retrieves the control account from the purchase type linked to the purchase order line.

Note

A control account is defined for every purchase type. When purchase invoices are posted, LN retrieves the purchase type to determine the control account that must be used for posting.

Payment Terms

Note

The following fields are always used in combination; together, they identify the relevant order or order line:

  • Business Object Type
  • Business Object
  • Business Object Reference
Reference

The reference code to which this supply object has been demand pegged.

LN can only use the items supplied by the current order to fulfill a demand specified by the reference displayed in this field.

LN can use this field in two ways:

  • If the Sold-to Business Partner field is filled, LN uses the Reference field to record a reference code defined by a customer.
  • If the Sold-to Business Partner field is empty, LN uses the Reference field to record an internal reference.

You can use a reference code to keep a collection of parts linked together, even if they follow different routings, for example, if some of the parts are transported to a subcontractor to be returned later.

Option List ID

The identification of the options and features for a configured item. The ID is used in the item specification to match supply and demand.

Note

Option list IDs are used on purchase orders to handle received configured items that deviate from the ordered configured items.

You have the following options:

  • The deviating configured item is received as an unexpected warehouse receipt and registered in the Purchase Orders (tdpur4100m000) session as a purchase order with the Warehousing Receipt origin. Therefore, the deviating item is not received against the schedule line, which remains open for receiving the correct configured item.
  • The deviating configured item is first received against the schedule line, but then returned by means of a return order.

As a result, this field can only be specified if, in the Purchase Orders (tdpur4100m000) session, the purchase order's Origin is Warehousing Receipt, or the purchase order is a return order of the Return Inventory order type.

User-defined fields of various field formats that can be added to various sessions, in which users can edit these fields. No functional logic is linked to the contents of these fields.

Additional information fields can be linked to database tables. When linked to a table, the fields are displayed in the sessions corresponding to the database tables. For example, a field defined for the whinh200 table is displayed as an extra field in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session.

The contents of additional fields can be transferred between database tables. For example, the information specified by a user in additional information field A of the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session is transferred to additional information field A in the Shipments (whinh4130m000) session. For this purpose, additional information fields with identical field formats and field name A must be present for the whinh200 and the whinh430 tables (whinh430 corresponds to the Shipments (whinh4130m000) session).
