Direct Posting from FI/MM (SAP Library - Entry title was not found)

Direct Posting from FI/MM

You can transfer direct primary postings from Financial Accounting (FI) and Materials Management (MM) to profitability segments.

The following are some typical cases of when you would want to do this:

You post special direct costs from sales, such as transport insurance for a certain delivery, and would like to assign these primary costs directly to a profitability segment.

You post an invoice for promotional events and you want this invoice to appear statistically in the responsible marketing cost center, and at the same time assign it to a profitability segment in Profitability Analysis. In this case, you would assign the invoice to both a cost center and a profitability segment.

You create automatic postings in Materials Management and you want these revenues and expenses from the revaluation of material stocks to be posted automatically to Profitability Analysis. This instance also requires that you define "Automatic assignment to a profitability segment".

Requirement

1. The operating concern must be fully defined.

2. The desired form of Profitability Analysis must be active for the relevant controlling areas.

3. You have maintained number ranges for record type "B".

4. You have created a group of characteristics (under "Master Data") to define the screen for assigning postings to profitability segments, and assigned this characteristic group to business transaction "RFBU".
