Understanding Ship and Debit Adjustment Details

Ship and debit adjustment details provide the parameters that the system uses to calculate adjustments. Adjustment details contain basis codes that allow for added flexibility. The basis code, or factor value method, that you select for the ship and debit adjustment must equal 1 or 4.

When deciding which factor value method to select, consider whether the supplier dictates cost or percentage discount. Select a factor value method that matches the supplier's practices.

When setting up ship and debit adjustments, you can specify that the system track the cost of an item after the debit has been subtracted. You can further define adjustment details when you add adjustment definitions to adjustment schedules.

You review the Adjustment Balances table (F45715) to see the quantities and dates that apply to the ship and debit adjustments. You can also review the ship and debit adjustment detail, including the supplier, branch/plant, based on cost information and calculation formulas.

You can change quantity information from the Adjustment Balances program (P45715). You can also prorate expiration dates for adjustments.

You first set up adjustment balances for the ship and debit adjustments. You then set the parameters and assign relationships between the balances and the detail of the adjustments when you set up adjustment detail balances to the ship and debit adjustments.
