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. Invoice-to BP The business partner to which you send invoices. This usually represents a customer's accounts payable department. 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). Sales Office A department clearly identified within the company business model to manage the sales relations of the business partner. The sales office is used to identify the locations that are responsible for the sales activities within the organization. Pricing BP The parent business-partner used to classify a group of customers with the same prices or pricing agreements. Price List List of default prices and discounts for customers and suppliers. You can link price lists to items and item groups, and to sold-to and buy-from business partners. Payment Method The way in which the payment (purchase invoice) or the direct debit (sales invoice) takes place. The payment method defines details such as, the maximum amount, the type of due date, if foreign currencies are allowed, and which details must be printed on the report. These details are default values that you can change on the order or invoice as necessary. Terms of Delivery The agreements with the business partner, concerning the way the goods are delivered. Relevant information is printed on various order documents. Currency A generally accepted medium of exchange (such as: coins, treasury notes, and banknotes). ERP LN distinguishes two currency types: Home currency, used internally by companies for example, to calculate costs, to record budgets, and to register tax amounts Transaction currency, used in transactions with business partners, such as orders and invoices Product Type User-definable item grouping data that is used as a sorting and selecting criterion. The product type is intended for classifying items with similar characteristics for production purposes. Product Line A group of products made by the same producer, that are similar but differ in details such as, size, shape, color, and so on. User-definable item grouping data, mainly used as an item selection criterion for reporting. Product Class User-definable item grouping data that is used to distinguish between different groups of items in a product line. The product class is mainly used as a selection criterion for reporting. Item Group Group of items with similar characteristics. Each item belongs to a particular item group. The item group is used in combination with the item type to set up item defaults. Price Group A group of items to which the same pricing characteristics apply. Manufacturer A supplier of finished goods. User-definable item grouping data used for sorting and selecting. Area These regions are used to group business partners, customers, suppliers and employees on a geographical basis.
