Assigning Materials
Use
Assignments of materials to profit centers provide the default values for assignment of sales orders and manufacturing orders.
With internal goods movements also (such as stock transfers or material withdrawals) 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 the transfer of material stocks to Profit Center Accounting.
The assignment material
® plant 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 at the same time.
