Use

Assignments of materials to profit centers provide the default values for assignment of sales orders and manufacturing orders.

With internal goods movements (such as stock transfers or material withdrawals) as well as postings affecting net income in Materials Management (such as inventory differences), the profit center is derived from the material master, if no other account assignment has been made. See Transfer from Materials Management .

The assignment of materials also forms the basis for displaying material stocks on profit centers.

The assignment is only valid for a single plant. You can assign materials by changing the material master record directly or using the fast assignment function , which lets you assign a larger number of materials to one profit center.
