Integration with Warehouse Management
Description
If you integrate warehouse management with Commitment Accounting, you can control:
- when the budget is committed (at the time of the purchase order or the goods issue)
- whether budget is available for the warehouse itself, by means of a warehouse funds center.
SAP offers four concepts for integration with warehouse management. You must maintain the settings in the Commitment Accounting implementation guide in accordance with the concept you choose.
If you opt for a concept involving a warehouse funds center, you must first create a master record for the warehouse funds center. To do this, go to the Commitment Accounting menu and choose Master data -> Funds center -> Indiv.maintenance -> Create or Master data -> Funds center -> Hierarchy -> Maintain.
You must then assign the warehouse funds center to a plant and, if required, a valuation class. To do this, choose Master data -> Assignments -> Materials management -> Warehouse funds ctr.
