Features

Manual Master Data Generation

You have the following options for master data generation:

  • In the Structures Workbench , you can use the relevant functions in the menu under Environment to create and edit cost centers, profit centers, cost center groups, and profit center groups.

  • In the Structure Workbench , you can generate or modify master data objects via the Controlling tab page by choosing Generate <Object> and Modify <Object> (you must first select the required assignment).
