Structure that controls the transfer of costs from the cost components of one cost component layout into the cost components of another cost component layout.
If the cost component layout of the primary cost component split for the cost center activity prices is not the same as the cost component layout of the primary cost component split for the products, the transfer structure can be used to specify how the cost component split of an internal activity or process for a material cost estimate is transferred into the cost component splits of the material being costed.
In contrast to the switch layout in Cost Center Accounting, which reassigns cost components within a single cost component layout, the transfer structure assigns cost components between two different cost component layouts.
The transfer structure is the structure in which the data from the source system is transported into the Business Information Warehouse.
It displays a selection of fields for an extract structure of the source system.
In the transfer structure maintenance you determine which fields of a DataSource should be transferred to BW.
This data is transferred 1:1 from the transfer structure of the source system of BW, and is then transferred into the communication structure
with the aid of the transfer rules.
