Define Substitution Rules

In this activity you define substitution rules for finding the default profit center for sales order items. It makes sense to use substitution rules if the profit center proposed from the material master does not meet your requirements.

Example

You want to use a sales office or a distribution channel as a profit center.

Standard settings

No predefined substitution rules exist.

Activities

Proceed as described under

Maintain Substitutions in Customizing for FI-SL Special Purpose Ledgers. The following are predefined in Customizing for Profit Center Accounting:

• The application area (Profit Center Accounting)

• The callup point (Create Sales Order)

• The field to be substituted (Profit Center)

You can substitute the profit center with a constant value or by assigning a table field. It is also possible to use a user exit.

Additional Information

For more information on substitution rules, see the documentation for Financial Accounting on the component "FI-SL Special Purpose Ledgers" (in the chapter "Basic Functions"). Also, read the notes in the online documentation under Financial Accounting -> Special Ledgers -> Validation and Substitution -> Substitution.

Further notes

Structure PCASUB is used as the transfer table for the fields from the sales order.
