Use

If you carry out Profitability Analysis based on costing data from another system, the data must be exchanged between both systems. The costing results can then be analyzed in the form of a cost component split in Profitability Analysis.

If costing data from another SAP system is to be accessed by Sales and Distribution, the data must be exchanged between both systems. The costing results can then be used in Sales and Distribution.

You distribute the cost component split by choosing  Accounting Controlling Product Cost Planning Tools Material Costing Distribution Cost Component Split.

Data flow:

Distribution of the Cost Component Split to Profitability Analysis and Sales and Distribution (II)

Material A is costed in Plant 1 (System 1). The cost component split for Material A is distributed by ALE to System 2 (mirror plant 1') and to other systems, if applicable. The cost component split can now be used in System 2 by Profitability Analysis and Sales and Distribution for analysis or for price determination when billing documents are created. In the receiving system, the material must be recosted, in which the cost component split of Material A in plant 1' is accessed by special procurement keys.
