Create Package Structure Lines

This document explains how to create package structure lines.

Use this document when you want to create package structure lines to be connected to a package header. Package headers are connected to rental agreement lines when a package is rented.

Outcome

Package lines are created for a package header.

Package lines are used when you rent packages to customers. Package lines contain information about pieces of equipment that are included in the packages.

The following files are updated when package structure lines are created:

  • Customer Master File (OCUSMA)
  • Service Item (SSEITM)
  • Location (MITWHL)

Before you start

  • A valid package structure header must exist in 'Rental Package Structure. Open' (STS450).
  • A service expense must exist in 'Service Expenses. Open for Task' (SOS408).
  • An individual item or piece of equipment must be defined in 'Individual Item. Open' (SOS419) and basic data for the item must be entered.

Follow These Steps

  1. Start 'Rental Package Structure. Open' (STS450/B).

  2. Select the required package ID and click option 11='Lines' to create a package line for the selected package header.

    'Rental Package. Open Line' (STS451/E) is displayed.

    Package lines that have already been created for the selected package header are displayed here.

  3. Enter values in the following fields:

    • 'Item ID'
    • 'Line Type'

      The valid alternatives are:

      • 5=Hire. This Hire line creates in and outbound distribution orders connected to the order line, from the yard to the customer and back to the yard.
      • 7=X-Hire Yard. This Hire line creates in and outbound distribution orders from the yard to the customer and back to the yard, and generates a purchase order with direct delivery from the supplier to the yard. A requisition order from the yard to the supplier is also generated.
      • 8=X-hire Customer. This Hire line creates an inbound distribution order from the customer to the yard, and generates a purchase order with direct delivery from the supplier to the customer. A requisition order from the yard to the supplier is also generated.
    • 'Quantity'

      This field indicates the number of items or pieces of equipment to be included on the package line. When the quantity of a serialized item is more than one, a package line is created for each quantity in 'Rental Package. Open Line' (STS451/B). However, the price factor is split between the package lines.

    • 'Price Factor'

      This field indicates the factor of the total package price that applies to this package line.

  4. Click Next.

    The package line created is displayed in 'Rental Package. Open Line' (STS451/B) and is ready to be connected to rental agreement lines.
