Define Agreement Invoice Rule
Explanation
This activity is used to define agreement invoice rules that will be
applicable to the services in the service contract. Agreement rules are used to
give discounts to a customer or to define sales prices based on costs and are only applicable when invoicing the service
contract through a work order. You can specify if the rule should be applied to
sales groups or cost types and also if posting lines with zero invoice amounts
should be included in or excluded from the customer invoice. Additionally, agreement rules can be used to define
rounding of Quantity to Invoice in work orders which the service contract
is connected to. This also can be applied to sales groups or cost types.
Prerequisites

- Open the Service Contract Basic Data window,
click the Agreement Invoice Rule tab and create a new record (F5).
- Enter a unique identity for the agreement invoice
rule in the Agreement Invoice Rule ID field and a description in the Description
field respectively.
- Select how the rule will be applied, i.e., based on
sales group or cost type, in the Sales Group/Cost Type field.
- Select the Invoice Zero Amounts check box if you want to include
in the customer invoice all posting lines with a zero invoice amount which
are applicable to the agreement invoice rule. This check box is selected by
default when creating a new agreement invoice rule but can be changed. Clear
this check box if you want to exclude zero amount posting lines associated
with the invoice agreement rule from the customer invoice.
- Next double-click the table to create a new
record.

- If you had selected Cost Type in step 3 select

type that should be discounted in the invoice. If you check Cost Based
Pricing under Cost type selection, the percentage defines markup
to be added on the cost to calculate sales price.
- Set Rounding for Quantity to Invoice
using Rounding function and Rounding value if preferred.
- Select the Invoice Zero Amounts check box if you want to include
in the customer invoice all posting lines with a zero invoice amount which
are applicable to the given sales group or cost type. This check box will be
selected by default if the Invoice Zero Amounts check box is selected

check box. Clear this check box if you want to exclude zero amount posting
lines associated with the sales group or cost type from the customer
invoice.
