View settlement detail lines

Article • 4/3/2023 • 6 min read

The detail lines are the result of the calculation. They specify the calculated quantity and amount to settle with the vendor that is specified in the settlement line.

You can also use the Correction Quantity field to adjust the quantity for your settlement (including negative values). The value in the Quantity to Settle field in the Settlement Line gets updated based on the value of the Correction Quantity field in the detail lines.

This allows you to modify values in line with agreements made with the vendor.

You can view the following fields on the Settlement Detail Lines page.

Detail lines for the Grade Out and Pack Out accounting methods

When the Accounting method field is set to Grade Out, the detail lines are created based on the output lot numbers of the first grading order that is encountered for a specific receipt in the line trace. The source item is defined as the originally received item (including unique combination of global lot attributes) and the destination item is defined as the output item coming out of the first grading production order. The proposed quantity is the sum of the posted output for that specific item number and global lot attribute combination. The price is calculated based on the destination item in the given unit of measure with the quantity to settle in the currency code of the purchase order.

When the Accounting method field is set to Pack Out, the detail lines are created based on the output lot numbers of pack out production orders that are still in inventory or sold. The source item is defined as the originally received item (including unique combination of global lot attributes) and the destination item is defined as the output item(s) (including unique combination of global lot attributes) coming out of the various packing production orders. It is important to note that only production orders up until the first sales transaction are considered. For example, a pack out item is sold, returned by the customer, and repacked again, the first sales transaction with initial packing production order is considered in the calculation and detail line. The proposed quantity is the sum of the posted output for that specific item number and global lot attribute combination. The price is calculated based on the destination item in the given unit of measure with the quantity to settle in the currency code of the purchase order.
