The functions in the transaction Edit Package (/DBE/PACKAGE) enable you to process packages, main packages, and package variants.

Integration

The package search and transfer are integrated into the VSS order.

Features

Package functions enable you to do the following:

• Search for and list packages fulfilling specific search criteria
• Create, change, and display packages with validity periods
• Create, change, display, and delete package variants with validity periods
• Create packages by copying existing packages

• For price packages, set package prices, package variant prices, and package item prices
• Use the business object (BUS2440) for packages and assigned workflow events
• Select packages in the VSS order using predefined criteria
• Transfer package data, items, and prices to the VSS order (with and without job creation)
• For specific fields, make mass changes to packages and package items
• Import packages from an external, OEM system using RFC
• Track changes to packages with change documents
• Use different authorizations for packages (authorization object /DBE/PACK)

Some users (for example, service supervisors) can create and change packages while other users (for example, service technicians) are only allowed to display packages

• Define order job printing options in the package
• For parts packages without job creation, use the package as an entry aid for parts orders
• For parts packages, assign the package to the material master for material substitution
• Define the user interface (interface control) for the package transaction (layout of the tabstrips)
• Define the customer influence on package data and the process flow by using Business Add-Ins (BAdIs)

You can append customer-specific fields to the package database tables. You require enhancements to integrate your own data into the package transaction. The package transaction provides the required enhancement calls. Furthermore, there are enhancement options for the transfer of data from the package to the order and also in the package search help.
