The sales organization and the plant are assigned to different company codes and have the following responsibilities:

Plant: |

Relationship to Pricing
The system processes intercompany pricing elements in exactly the same way as other pricing elements. The data for intercompany sales is stored in condition records.

This control data is defined in Customizing for Sales by your system administrator.
