Effectivity Unit On the Effectivity Unit tab, you can define or maintain an effectivity unit. An effectivity unit is linked to an item for which the Unit Effective End Item check box is selected in the Item - General (tcibd0101s000) session. Prices On the Prices tab, you can display and (re)calculate the estimated cost price of the effectivity unit. If you configure an effectivity unit by selecting requirements, the configuration can result in extra material for the item. Therefore, the estimated cost price for the effectivity unit can deviate substantially from the item's standard cost price. If you finished configuring the effectivity unit, you can select the Configuration Ready check box on the Effectivity Unit tab. As a result, the estimated cost price of the effectivity unit is automatically calculated. If you change and/or select requirements for the effectivity unit on a sales order line or a sales quotation line, you can click Calculate to calculate the estimated prices. Sales Characteristics If the effectivity unit is configured on a sales order line or a sales quotation line, information about the sold-to business partner, ship-to country, and ship-from warehouse from the sales order/quotation line is automatically entered on the Sales Characteristics tab. In the Effectivity Unit Upgrade Price field, the amount that is added to the effectivity unit's sales price is displayed. Date The effectivity unit takes effect at the date and time entered in the Effective Date field on the Date tab. You must first enter an effective date before you can save the effectivity-unit data. If you use Change Management in Object Data Management (ODM), ERP LN enters the change order's effective date. Lines On the tabs, you can select requirements and/or process variables to configure an effectivity unit. The lines on the tab refer to the following sessions: Requirement This lines on this tab refer to the Requirement - Effectivity Units (tcuef0107m000) session.

Fields | Description
Effectivity Unit
Effectivity Unit | A reference number on a sales order line or a sales quotation line that is used to model deviations for a unit effective item. If you choose Generate Effectivity Units from the Specific menu in the Items - Effectivity Series (tcuef0101m000) session, ERP LN generates the effectivity-unit numbers starting from the highest number already used. You can also enter a description for the effectivity unit. If effectivity units are automatically generated, for example, in the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) details session or the Items - Effectivity Series (tcuef0101m000) session, a description is automatically generated. If the effectivity unit is created on a sales order line, the description consists of the sales order number and the sales order line number. If the effectivity unit is created from the effectivity series, the description consist of the series code and the sequence number. Note Effectivity unit number zero is used to indicate the standard configuration.
Effectivity Number Status | The effectivity unit's status. The status is Active when you save the data, independent of the change-order effectivity date.
Item | An item that is ready to be delivered to a warehouse. An end item is produced at the end of a dangle routing (co-products and by-products) or a main routing. The effectivity unit indicates that you have to do with one occurrence of the end item. The item must be of one of the following types: Purchased Manufactured An effectivity unit for an end item can only be generated automatically, if the Unit Effective End Item check box is selected for the item in the Item - General (tcibd0101s000) session.
