About configuring a package

Introduction

Package configuration parameters

You configure a package in the Stock items (IN202500) or (Non-stock items (IN202000) window on the Deferral settings tab. On this tab, you specify the following parameters:

In the Deferral code field, select an MDA deferral code (the one that has the Multiple-deliverable arrangement field selected in the Deferral codes (DR202000) window), which indicates that an item is a package.
In the Revenue components table, add the required items (components) to the package (stock items or non-stock items that were previously configured).

In addition to specifying a deferral code for the package, specify a deferral code for each component of the package, because each component may have different deferral periods.

If you do not specify a deferral code for a component, the price of the component will be recognised immediately.

Allocation method

While adding components to this table, define how the total package price will be allocated between all components. To do this, select one of the following options for each component of the package in the Allocation method column:

Percentage: The component price (fair value) is a percentage of the total package price. The column becomes available for editing if you select this option.
Fixed amount: The component price is a fixed amount, which you specify in the Fixed amount column. This column becomes available for editing if you select this option.
Residual: The price of the component is computed as the difference (residue) between the total package price and the sum of the prices calculated for all other components of the package. The cost for such a component is calculated after the fair values of all other components are computed. You can select the Residual option for only one component of the package. The Deferral code column is not available for a component with the Residual allocation method selected.

After you have specified all required data for a package on the Deferral setting tab, click .
