Required Business Function Commodity Pricing Engine: BAdI-Based Formula Handling

(LOG_CPE_FA_FE)

You can use this business function to activate the process of differential billing within Sales and Distribution (SD) billing.

The key feature of this process is that you can repeatedly bill a delivery or sales order item with its full quantity. The business
background for this functionality is commodity trading. The nal price and invoice for the goods delivered is typically agreed
upon weeks or months after the loading process. Within this time frame a long term average of price quotations for the
commodity is calculated to account for the price risk of the deal. Moreover, the quantity and quality of the goods may be
redetermined. On the other hand it is common business practice to have an early provisional invoice shortly after loading based
on plausible values for price, quantity and quality. Differential invoices may occur in between whenever appropriate.
