Sales Type Exceptions (tcmcs2104m000)

Use this session to define sales type exceptions. Sales types exceptions link sales types (and through the sales type, a control account) to transactions that involve specific details for an invoice-to business partner and order origin.

Transactions for which you do not define a sales type exception are posted to the control account linked to the default sales type for the business partner group.

You can define exceptions for various logistic order origins, such as Sales, Project, and Freight. You can define exceptions for the following types of order details:

  • Item groups.
  • Items.
  • Project categories.
  • Projects.

If the order origin is Sales, you can indicate whether the exception is valid for direct delivery orders.

You can specify exceptions that apply to a specific business partner and you can specify exceptions that apply generally to all the transactions. To define general exceptions, leave the Invoice-to Business Partner field empty.

For each exception, you can indicate the priority. If more than one exception is found, LN uses the details of the exception with the highest priority. For example, if the exception for an item has a higher priority than the exception for a specific project, transactions concerning both the item and the project are posted to the control account linked to the sales type specified for the item.

Each combination of order origin, item, item group, project category, project, direct delivery indicator, and sales type that you define as an exception, must be unique.

Field Information

Invoice-to Business Partner

The invoice-to business partner to whom the exceptions apply.

To define exceptions that apply to all sales invoices independent of the invoice-to business partner, leave this field empty.

Order Origin

The logistic origin of the order.

The order origin can be:

  • Sales.
  • Internal invoice.
  • Freight.
  • Project.
  • All origins.
Priority

The priority of the exception. A low value indicates a high priority. The value 1 indicates the highest priority.

For example, if the exception for an item has priority 1 and the exception for a specific project has priority 2, the sales type defined for the item is the default sales type for the order lines with both the item and the project.

Item Group

Subject to the priority rules, the sales type for this item group is the default sales type for the order line.

Item

Subject to the priority rules, the sales type for this item is the default sales type for the order line.

Project Category

Subject to the priority rules, the sales type for this project category is the default sales type for the order line.

Project

Subject to the priority rules, the sales type for this project is the default sales type for the order line.

Direct Delivery

If this check box is selected, subject to the priority rules, the sales type is the default sales type for order lines with direct delivery.

Sales Type

The sales type that LN uses to determine the control account to be used for the invoice transactions.
