Fields | Description
Promotion | The promotion for which the matrix is created.
Matrix Type | An entity used to define the type of a Matrix Definition and to classify the matrix attributes. The following matrix types are available in the Pricing Control module: Sales Price. SOL Discount. SO Total Discount. Purchase Price. POL Discount. PO Total Discount. Transfer Price. Line Promotion. Order Promotion. Client Freight Rate. Carrier Freight Rate. For each type, ERP LN generates a selection of attributes. In a matrix type, the combination of a maximum of six attributes identifies the matrix definition.
Matrix Definition | The matrix definition code defines the group of elements (matrix attributes) that a Pricing Control matrix uses to determine a price, discount, promotion, or freight rate. For example, imagine you are a furniture vendor and you decide to maintain your sales prices based on two elements: The specific item you sell. The way to handle payments. In this case, the matrix type is Sales Price, the matrix definition is Furni (this name is user-definable), and the matrix attributes are Item and Payment Method. Note Matrix definitions are maintained in the Matrix Definitions (tdpcg0110m000) session. You cannot enter a matrix definition without matrix attributes linked to it.
Effective Date | The first date on which the promotion matrix is valid. The default effective date is equal to the system date.
Expiry Date | The last date on which the promotion matrix is valid.
Sequence | The order in which a matrix definition is searched for.
Promotion Group | The promotion group to which the promotion belongs.
Ship-to BP | The business partner to which you ship the ordered goods. This usually represents a customer's distribution center or warehouse. The definition includes the default warehouse from which you send the goods, the carrier who carries out the transport, and the related sold-to business partner.

The definition includes the default currency and exchange rate, invoicing method and frequency, information about the customer's credit limit, the terms and method of payment, and the related pay-by business partner.
BP Channel | A sales or distribution channel used to assign goods to customer groups. You can link channels to sold-to business partners and to items. Channels can be used in connection with available-to-promise (ATP). You can assign a certain ATP volume to a channel. This volume limits the ATP for that channel to a maximum.
Sales Order Origin | The source of the information on which an order is based, such as ERP LN sessions, or user defined sources such as phone, mail, and so on.
Order Type | A code used to determine the character or function of an order and, consequently, of the message. Examples: Normal order versus return order Invoice versus credit note The classification that determines which sessions (in which sequence) are part of the order procedure. You can also assign one of the following categories to the order type: cost order, collect order, return order, and subcontracting order. Order type codes are required in the ERP EDI messages that relate to a single order. EDI messages that relate to single orders include messages that process: Orders (ANSI X12 850, UN/EDIFACT ORDERS). Order changes (ANSI X12 860, UN/EDIFACT ORDCHG). Order acknowledgments (ANSI X12 855 and 865, UN/EDIFACT ORDRSP). Invoices (ANSI X12 810, UN/EDIFACT INVOIC).
