Process Steps for Supplier Recovery Processing (5HR)
The following table contains the preliminary steps that need to be taken care of before the actual execution of the process steps can start:
| Preliminary Step | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Maintain supplier warranty for equipment and functional location | If you have entered the start date and end date for the supplier warranty of an equipment in its master record, the system checks the validity of the claim based on these dates. Before you use the warranty for individual objects within your claim process, you need to enter the warranty start date and warranty end date in the equipment master record. |
| Maintain equipment data | Since warranty validity dates can be maintained in the master data record of a technical object, this master record needs to be created/changed. |
Maintain supplier and customer data | In the warranty claim process, a business partner representing the supplier and one representing a customer is used to derive the correct prices, post the amount to accounting, and identify where the claim statement should be send to. To each supplier (vendor) master record, a customer master record needs to be linked to ensure a correct price determination. In a scenario where a customer is not yet linked to the supplier used, this step still needs to be performed. |
| Check pricing condition records | To ensure that the appropriate amount can be claimed from a supplier, the correct prices need to be maintained in the system. Each of the different item types (material, labor, etc.) has its own conditions to ensure proper maintenance and relationship to the already existing pricing records. |
| Set up the general ledger (GL) accounts to be used | In the configuration for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, automatic account assignment must have the required cost center maintained. |
