What is the purpose of Guided Buying's Checkout Section Generation Policies?

[kyokaharuyama]

I understand that we can reduce the number of fileds that appear in the shipping summary and accounting summary on the PR page, but I am having a very difficult time understanding the specifics.

Could you please help me with the following questions?

(1) What exactly can we do?

2) What is this policy for?

Hello Hyagga,

The checkout section generation policy file determines which fields to display in the summary section in the header and in the accounting section summary for each line item. You can also set which fields are grouped or available for mass editing in the Checkout page.

The first step to setting the Checkout Section Generation Policy File is to Download the policy Excel template from the Policy Management page in guided buying.

The following help document provides details about this and a table showing details of each of the five sheets in the Excel file: https://help.sap.com/docs/ARIBA_PROCUREMENT/855d3e61ce304b1cb81987bdc5322911/7aafbe77405a4a389af7da0...

Here is a more general help document around which policies may be useful for your businesses buying processes: https://help.sap.com/docs/ARIBA_PROCUREMENT/855d3e61ce304b1cb81987bdc5322911/e50365e24ecd49eaba97999...

I hope this helps to explain what that policy is for and what you may do.

Thank you, Melissa
