Maintain Account Determination

In this activity, you set up account determination for the transfer of plan data from Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) to Profit Center Accounting (EC-PCA). Here you can assign your CO-PA value and quantity fields to accounts depending on certain characteristics.

You can assign more than one value field or quantity field (with the same unit) to the same account. Also you can assign both value fields and quantity fields to the same account to line up information in EC-PCA that belongs together. If you assign more than one value field to the same account, the data records are summarized in EC-PCA.

Activities

1. Define a derivation rule.

2. Then specify the desired source and target fields for the derivation rule. You can also use multiple rules to determine an account. As a rule, the degree of detail should decrease with each consecutive activity.
Note that the fields controlling area (KOKRS) and value field (VALUEFIELD) are mandatory fields in all derivation steps. You can use up to four additional characteristics as source fields.
The account number (RACCT) is the required target field and is therefore automatically selected.

3. Define rule values for the derivation rules. Here you need to enter the desired controlling area, value or quantity field, and other values along with the corresponding account.
