Enter Customer/Item Agreement and Reasonability Table

This document explains how to enter a customer agreement for one item, a so-called customer/item agreement. It also explains how to enter a reasonability table in order to perform a reasonability check against the average of the customer's purchases.

Outcome

You have created an agreement by connecting a customer with an item and a record of this is created in a file. If you have opted to perform a reasonability check, the necessary values and limitations are created.

By connecting a customer with an item you have created a customer-unique item identity with a description, which can be used during order entry. It is also printed on the external documents. The reasonability check is carried out according to the information provided here.

The following files are updated:

  • OCUSIT – Customer Item File
  • OICHKL – Reasonability Table Lines

Before you start

  • A customer must be registered in 'Customer. Open' (CRS610).
  • An item must be registered in 'Item. Open' (MMS001).
  • The 'Reasonability Check' field must be activated in 'CO Type. Open' (OIS010/H).

Follow these steps

Enter Customer/Item Agreement

  1. Start 'Customer. Connect Item' (OIS005/B1).

  2. Specify the customer number and the item number. Select 'New' to proceed to the E panel.

  3. On the E panel, specify the customer's item number and the name of the item.

  4. Select a reasonability check method. Press Enter to proceed to the F panel.

    • If you select alternative 1=Check against specified limits, enter the limit values in the fields 'Minimum quantity' and 'Maximum quantity'.
    • If you select alternative 2=Check against customer's average, you must carry out steps in Enter Reasonability Table.
    • If you select alternative 3=Check against general average, you must have activated the field 'Update buying pattern' for the item in 'Item. Open' (MMS001/H).

  5. On the F panel, specify further customer and/or item specific information. This information can be printed on external documents. Press Enter and you will return to the B panel.

Enter Reasonability Table

  1. On the B panel in (OIS005), select a combination of customer and connected item. Then select alternative 11=Reasonability table. 'Customer Item. Connect Reasonability Tab' (OIS220) will then be displayed.
