Procedure for System Administrators

The following applies to subsequent settlement:
Allowed calculation types
A - percental, e.g. 3%
B - fixed amount, e.g. 100 EUR
C - quantity, e.g.1 EUR per piece
D - gross weight, e.g. 1 EUR per ton
E - net weight, e.g. 1 EUR per kg
F - volumes, e.g. 1 EUR per liter
L - points (only allowed in purchasing), e.g. 0.01 EUR per 1 point
By choosing one of the calculation types D, E, F, or L, you tell the
system that, if necessary, it can convert units without the material.
Currently, for subsequent settlement, the material is not seen as a
data retention level. For example, it is no longer possible to carry
out a conversion of bottles in crates in settlement. For this, the
material must be known, i.e. whether the material is bottles of beer or
mineral water. For a condition of 3% on all drinks, conversion is no
longer possible.
