9.1 Subcontracting with Chargeable Components (New)

Use As of SAP R/3 Enterprise Extension Set 2.00, companies in Japan can use the system to handle subcontracting processes involving chargeable components. The solution is based on the Subcontracting with Chargeable Components solution previously available as an add-on from SAP Japan. The functions from the add-on are now part of the standard system. The add-on has been discontinued. You can now activate the solution for each valuation area separately. In the add-on, this was not possible. Some of the programs available in the add-on are not available in the Extension Set. They are: Program Vendor Subcontracting Data Maintenance Vendor/Customer Master Maintenance Chargeable Info Record Maintenance Customizing Program Die Master Maintenance Die Master Deletion Die Master Reload Technical Name /SAPNEA/SAPMJSCA /SAPNEA/SAPMJSCC /SAPNEA/SAPMJSCD /SAPNEA/SAPMJSCF /SAPNEA/SAPMJSCB /SAPNEA/J_SC_05 /SAPNEA/J_SC_07

For more details about the solution, see the SAP Library documentation listed below. Effects on Customizing In the IMG activity Activation Switch for SAP R/3 Enterprise Extension Set, activate Extension Set EA-SCM. Then carry out the IMG activities for Subcontracting with Chargeable Components in Customizing for Materials Management (MM), by choosing Inventory Management and Physical Inventory -> Subcontracting with Chargeable Components.

9.4.1.1 Automatic Vendor Item Determination in the Store Goods Receipt

Use As of SAP R/3 Enterprise Retail 2.0 (EA-RETAIL 200), SAP R/3 can include purchase order items in the purchase order search in the store goods receipt. If you post goods receipts in stores using the IDoc type WPUWBW and not using a reference to an existing purchase order or delivery, SAP R/3 automatically carries out a search. If the search result contains several purchase orders, SAP R/3 can use the purchase order automatically as a reference that contains an item for the material that us entered in the goods receipt and whose quantity lies within the tolerance limits for under or overdelivery. In this case, you do not have to make any manual entries. Effects on Customizing You define in the inbound profile in Customizing for controlling the POS goods movements whether SAP R/3 should search for a suitable purchase order item. If the field has not been checked, SAP R/3 either creates an error message as before or triggers a workflow. If the field has been checked, SAP R/3 searches in the open purchase orders for a suitable item. See also For more information about store goods receipts, see the documentation on SAP Retail (SAP Library -> SAP R/3 Enterprise Application Components -> Logistics -> SAP Retail) in the area Merchandise Logistics -> Goods Receipt.

The standard delivery of the Excise Duty component provides settings and special evaluations for the following beverage-specific tax types: o o o German beer tax German spirits tax German sparkling wine tax You can activate the default tax types if necessary. The standard delivery of the Excise Duty component provides the following functions: o Functions for all tax types You can use these functions for all types of excise duty such as document selection, month-end closing, and year-end closing. Functions for specific tax types You can replace the functions for all tax types with functions for specific tax types.
