In this activity, you define the desired stock change accounts for quantity-based goods movement planning.
Derivation of direct material costs for planned production quantities is made on the basis of the sales revenue and stock change accounts you defined.
If you plan sales quantities and valuate them using transfer prices, the system calculates the revenue. However, note that part of the planned sales quantity will probably not be sold, but rather placed into stock. The planned production quantity and the planned sales quantity can therefore differ. The planned production quantity can be found by adding the planned increase in stocks to the planned sales sales quantity, or by subtracting the planned decrease in stocks from the planned sales quantity. These changes in stocks must be planned in the stock change accounts defined here.
Activities
Enter the desired P&L accounts as stock change accounts. Accounts which are defined as stock change accounts cannot, however, be defined simultaneously as sales revenue accounts.
