The material business area does not affect this business transaction, since the material stock account is not involved; instead, the expense account is posted to directly. The posting is made to the consumption business area (for example, cost center).

The payable (vendor) is only assigned to the consumption business area if this is the only business area specified. If the invoice contains several business areas, the payable is posted without a business area. See
