The introduction of

the use of the

PRICAT
Outbound
Processing
On the outbound side, the R/3
system supports creation of the
PRICAT message. To do this, the
system creates intermediate
documents (IDocs), which are
converted to an EDI file in PRICAT
format by an EDI subsystem.
The following functions are
supported on the outbound side:
- Initial transfer of a full PRICAT
version to a partner
- Transfer of a supplementary
PRICAT version (that is, a version
containing products selected
manually) to a partner
The following configuration options
are planned for PRICAT creation
(they are controlled by the PRICAT
profile):
- The partners who are to be sent
the message
- The materials planned for a
specific partner
- The price and condition
information applicable to a specific
partner
PRICAT contains
descriptions and
information on
logistics and prices
for each product.
The vendor can
use it to transfer
general product
information that is
valid for all
customers, or to
transfer
information that is
specific to a single
customer (for
example, special
conditions).
If the message is
in the form of a
price list or
catalog, the
vendor can also
transfer data to a
central database
to make it
available to all
interested parties.

Revenue
Recognition
In the repair order, you can also
arrange for a temporary
replacement to be sent to (and later
picked up from) the customer.
This new feature works closely with
the Sales and Distribution (SD),
Financial Accounting (FI), and
Controlling (CO) application
components to provide a complete
and integrated revenue recognition
solution.
Revenue Recognition increases
your choices as to when revenue
recognition takes place. You can
select the revenue recognition
method that best meets your
company’s needs from several
standard industry techniques.
These include:
- Revenue recognition at time of
invoicing (the standard method)
- Time-based revenue recognition
Many companies
must measure
income on an
accrual basis. That
is, they must

Another feature of Revenue

These are:
- Unbilled receivables
- Deferred revenue

These accounts let you track the

and the amount of revenue that has

Navigating through many of the
processes such as invoice creation,
assembly processing, sales activity
processing, and telephone sales
has become much simpler. There is
no need for time-consuming
hopping from one screen to another
and unnecessary mouse clicking.
For example, when creating a billing
document you can control all
important activities on one screen.

setting filters.
The ergonomics of sales document
processing were comprehensively
reworked for R/3 Release 4.0B.
These improvements have since
been further developed to cover
more important processes and
functions in Sales and Distribution
(SD). Our main task is to provide
optimum support with day-to-day
SD processing and to make working
with the system as easy and
straightforward as possible.
To create software that corresponds
perfectly to the user’s needs, our
software developers have observed
and spoken to SD users from
various countries and areas of
industry. The improved screens
result not only from the experience
of renowned designers, but also
from feedback received from a wide
range of customers.
Improvements have been made to

If you are using volume and price

options:
- New, user-friendly input help for

- Configurable input conventions for

- Improved maintenance of

Interfaces usually provide a second
exchange rate field for volume
