Features
The system looks for the documents in which the changed conditions are to apply and adjusts
them accordingly.
Documents are changed automatically in the same way as if you had changed the documents
manually. In the case of a purchase order, the document is completely revaluated. This also
occurs even if only one condition has changed, since the condition could be a header or group
condition.
Use
Purchase order
If purchase conditions (purchase price, discount etc) change after a purchase order has been
created, and if the new conditions are to apply, the system can change the conditions in all the
documents concerned using automatic document adjustment.
Pricing
If certain conditions relating to pricing change, it is advisable to check the effects on purchase
prices already saved in the database. The system uses the pricing worklist function to determine
all calculations affected by changes related to pricing conditions. When a new pricing worklist is
created, new calculations are made, based on the changed conditions. There is no adjustment of
already activated calculations.
Activities

Procedure
A. Activate the "Doc. Active Index" in the purchasing view of Vendor master.
Updating document data based on condition changes, takes place in several steps to ensure that
the related documents are adjusted effectively (performance).
There are usually three process steps for updating document data.
1. Updating change pointers by MEI3. Updating change pointers is not restricted to condition
changes. This also takes place, for example, when master data and listing conditions are updated.
2. Creating a worklist for the corresponding application by MEI4. When a worklist is created,
change pointers for the changed conditions are prepared for the relevant application. It is
recommended that you schedule periodic creation of worklists in the background
3. Updating Document Data based on Worklists by MEI1. The worklist provides the basis for
adjusting document data in the relevant application. With this step, either condition data in existing
documents is adjusted or new documents with the changed data are created
