Hi,
Currently we are doing an SAP R/3 implementation for a large metal non
ferro manufacturer. In the metals industry you have the concept of
'fixation'. Example: a customer agrees on a contrat for 1000 TO. Then
follow first delivery of 100 TO and invoice for 100 TO. At what price? Here
comes the fixation aspect into play. At the beginning of the month of
delivery your client does a first 'fixation': 100 TO with price = average
day price for metal during quotational period. At the end of the
quotational period you can calculate the average metal price, which can be
injected in your invoice pricing scheme.
For the moment I used the 'contract data' at item level to store this kind
of information. There you can specify a rate (in our case: metal price) for
a certain quantity with certain validity period etc. (similar to normal
condition maintenance) and you can store your condition record with part of
the access sequence being the contract number, item number, material.
Does anybody have similar experience/suggestions about 'fixations'?
Tx in advance,
