<h3>Forwarder entry: define person type per area</h3>
<div>From version 29.25, you can define per parameter per area (purchase/sales) which person type is allowed as a "forwarder":</div><div><br></div><div>Parameter package MM -&gt; Master data -&gt; Settings -&gt; MM parameters -&gt; General merchandise management -&gt; General -&gt; Person type for forwarder in <strong>sales<br></strong> </div><ul><li>0 - various persons (standard)<br></li><li>1 - suppliers<br></li><li>2 - various persons or suppliers</li></ul><div>Parameter package MM -&gt; Master data -&gt; Settings -&gt; MM parameters -&gt; General merchandise management -&gt; General -&gt; Person type for forwarder in <strong>purchase</strong> </div><ul><li>0 - various persons (standard)<br></li><li>1 - suppliers<br></li><li>2 - various persons or suppliers</li></ul><div> <strong>Note:</strong> The parameter package MM -&gt; Master data -&gt; Settings -&gt; MM parameters -&gt; Purchase order entry -&gt; Header data -&gt; "Person type forwarder" is no longer active <strong></strong> and its setting has been transferred to the parameter "Person type for forwarder in purchase".</div><div><br></div><div> <strong>Example:</strong> If you work with forwarders in the area Purchase and Sales, it is necessary to work with "suppliers" as "forwarder" in purchase, otherwise you will not be able to carry out incoming invoice management for freight invoices. In sales, on the other hand, a "various person" is usually sufficient as "forwarder" to print e.g. a forwarder information. </div><div>Until this date, forwarding agents may have to be created twice (as a various person and supplier).</div><div><br></div><div>If you set the options of both parameters to "1 - suppliers", double entry is omitted. </div><div>With the characteristic "2 - various persons or suppliers", you can, for example, select a forwarder that already exists as a "supplier" for purchase, as well as in the order.</div><div><br></div>
