Maintain ACM Applications
Application component: Commodity Contracts, Expenses, Basic Functions
App type: Transactional
Line of business: Sourcing and Procurement
Leading industry: Agribusiness (Consumer Products)
Solution capability: Agricultural Contract Management (S/4)
Description:  With this app you can maintain Agricultural Contract Management (ACM) application documents related to load data capture. Using the search function, you can display a list of application documents and then navigate further to display details of any application document.  This app is meant to be used by ACM operation clerks. On the Fiori Launchpad (FLP) tile, it displays contract application details, and the application document items in different statuses, such as, Ready to Apply, Provisionally Applied and Finally Applied. Note To be able to access this app, you need to assign the following roles to your user:  Business Role: SAP_BR_OPERATION_CLERK_ACM   Backend Sample Role: SAP_ACM_MATNAPPLICATION   
Key features:  You can use this app to:  Display total quantity for an application document You can select multiple application document items and choose the Calculate Total button to see total quantities such as total Gross Quantity, total Adjusted Quantity, and total Applied Quantity at an application document level. Note If application document items have different UoMs then clicking the Calculate Total button would not display any data.  Link a contract with an application documentFor this function to work, the LDC creation date should fall within the commodity period of the contract else the system displays an error.Note You can set the constant GC_APPL_LINKCONTR in Customizing under Agricultural Contract Management   Basic Settings   Define Configurable Constants to define the number of application document items that you can link in real time. If the number of application document items selected is greater than this constant, those items are linked to a contract in a background job. Set up Spot for application document items that are not yet appliedThe following can be requested:  Spot Immediate: Creates a contract based on a template, prices the contract, and then applies it to an application document item.  Spot EoD: Selects an application document item for Spot End of Day such that it is included in the next Spot Monitor - Spot EoD execution. Accumulate to Own: Selects an application document item for Accumulate to Own such that it is included in the next Spot Monitor - Accumulate to Own execution. Note You have maintained templates for spot in the SAP Menu under Agricultural Contract Management   Master Data   Spot   Maintain Template for Spot Contract.  Split vendor ownership  Use the Split to Vendors button to split an application document to multiple vendors. You could either use an existing Split Profile (maintained in Customizing/BRFplus.) OR You can select vendors by choosing the Add button and decide how the quantity should be split across these vendors by specifying Vendor Split % or by entering split quantities.  Use the Collate button to reverse any vendor splits.You can collate the application document items. For example, suppose application documents numbered 102 and 103 were created when split from parent application document numbered 101. Now if you were to trigger collate by choosing application document items 102 and 103, the application document items would collate into a new application document 104.Note For this function to work, the Application Status of the application document items should either be ‘Ready to Apply’ or ‘Reversed’. For example, if call-off exists for any application document item then collate function will not work and Application Log will display an error.   Move to unassignedAssign a storage agreement to a commingled application document. From a certain date a specific commingled quantity can be moved away from the store. If you have it unassigned, ideally you should not be able to link to it. You can unassign only if application document is in either reversed or in ready to apply status.Note This function is applicable only for commingled application documents. Reverse the contract application or in other words delink a contractThe ability to reverse an application and reverse a call off is now grouped under a single action. The system is able to determine which action is appropriate and carry it out. When a reversal takes place, the system removes links between the transactional documents and the trading contract. You can trigger multiple reversals at a time.Note You can set the constant GC_APPL_REVERSAL in Customizing under Agricultural Contract Management   Basic Settings   Define Configurable Constants to define the number of application document items that you can reverse in real time. If the number of application document items selected is greater than this constant, those items are reversed in a background job. Navigate to the following apps:  Application Log   Document Workflow   Manual Application Workcenter If data change is required, the app provides the navigation to Manual Application Workcenter where you can maintain the application documents.   Contract Application Spot Monitor   Apply ContractYou can add a contract at:  Contract item level Choose button By Contract  Pricing lot levelChoose button By Price Fixation Note Use the Reverse function to remove the applied contract.  Edit the pricing distribution You can use the Edit button to modify pricing distribution for application documents.Note Edit button is enabled for application documents with status as either Provisionally Applied or Finally Applied. Edit button is not enabled for pricing lots with Auto Freeze Indicator set as Yes. When you choose Edit, the system gets all assigned and unassigned pricing lots for given application documents and displays them in the pricing window. You can change only two fields in the pricing window, namely Distributed Qty and Manual Freeze Indicator.  Change approach for consumption of pricing lotsYou can specify how open quantity should be consumed across multiple pricing lots. There are two options possible; you can choose either by By Allocation or By Sequence.By default, the system chooses By Allocation, where we can specify how much quantity should be allocated against which contract.Using By Sequence function, you can determine sequencing of pricing lots and freeze selection.Note    Consumption of quantity from pricing lots takes place in the following order:   Flat   No basis established (NBE) No futures established (NFE) No pricing established (NPE)    Application documents applied to pricing allocations that are frozen are not redistributed upon pricing.    SimulateYou can simulate applying of a contract to an application document. When simulate is successful, you see adjusted quantity. Search desired data rapidly by using the following flexibly adaptable filters:  Application Document Number  Application Document Item Number Application Status Application Instructions Counterparty Contract LDC Object ID Nomination Item Scale ticket ID  You can also run a free text search on the fields Material and Counterparty.
