Use
Internal good movements in Logistics (such as stock transfers or material consumption on production order or cost center) can lead to material flows between profit centers.
To represent such a material flow correctly in General Ledger Accounting, the profit centers are viewed as logical independent companies. This gives you a sales transaction on the sender side and a goods receipt on the receiver side. You cannot reflect this using the original postings. Consequently, you need to create additional assignments.
Using account determination rules defined in Customizing, the system generates additional posting items based on the original document. Since the original document is not changed, this has no effect in General Ledger Accounting. However, if your company uses transfer prices and deploys profit center valuation, note that these lines are also updated (see examples below).
For some goods movements, it is not useful to make additional account assignments. Special handling is used to reflect such material movements. SAP delivers a complete table containing these exceptions. It may also be necessary to define special handling for transaction types that you have defined in Materials Management.
In this IMG activity, you enter for each controlling area the G/L accounts that are required to represent internal goods movements in General Ledger Accounting:
- Accounts for internal revenues
- Accounts for internal stock changes
- Accounts for deliveries from profit centers
Requirements
You have already created P&L accounts for the three types of G/L accounts (internal revenues, internal changes in stock, and delivery from profit centers) and have set the Post Automatically Only indicator in each case.
Caution
The G/L accounts should not be cost elements.
Activities
Select the material types for which you want to represent goods movements between profit centers.
Note that the system only considers the material types included here in the representation of the flow of materials between profit centers.
It may be useful to leave out any material types in the case of inexpensive raw materials or operating supplies. Without entering these material types, only the consumption postings on the receiver side are debited from the corresponding profit center.
All in all, you can make account determination dependent on the following objects:
The system interprets any empty entries (for example, those without a valuation class) as generic entries. However, you have to enter at least the material type.
In the No Receiver Records field, you specify whether or not you want to use data records on the receiver side. It can be useful to use receiver records if you also want to display the goods movement of raw materials between profit centers. In this case, a material consumption posting is posted on the receiver side. It is not required to correct the change in stock (see the third and fourth example) in this case.
Note on Transports
Transport your settings using the appropriate transport connection.
Example
Example of stock transfer of material M1 from plant 01 to plant 02 using the legal view
Posting in the entry view:
Stock to stock 1000
Additional line items from the profit center view:
PrCtr Material M1 Plant 01 --> Internal Revenues (1000)
--> Internal change in stock 1000
PrCtr Material M1 Plant 02 --> Delivery from PrCtr 1000
--> Internal change in stock (1.000,-)
In this case, no postings are transferred from the original posting. Instead, all postings are represented in General Ledger Accounting by separate additional account assignments.
Example of stock transfer of material 1 from plant 1 to plant 2 using transfer prices
From the legal view, the inventory value is 1000
From the profit center view, the inventory value is 1200
The transfer price is 1500
Posting in the entry view:
Stock of plant 2 to stock of plant 1 1000
Additional line items from the profit center view:
PrCtr Material M1 Plant 01 --> Internal Revenues (1500)
--> Internal change in stock 1200
PrCtr Material M1 Plant 02 --> Delivery from PrCtr 1500
--> Internal change in stock (1500)
Example of material withdrawal of semifinished product 1 (PrCtr 1) for production order 2 (PrCtr 2) using the legal view
A material withdrawal represents not only the costs of the receiver profit center, but internal revenue is assigned in addition to the sender profit center. On the receiver side, it may be necessary to correct the posting of change in stock on the receiver side (consumption of semifinished products) with a posting "Delivery from PrCtr".
Posting in the entry view:
Change in stock SF to stock 1000 1000
Additional line items from the profit center view:
Profit center 1 --> Internal Revenues (1000)
--> Internal change in stock 1000
Profit center 2 --> Change in stock SF 1000
--> Internal change in stock (1000)
--> Delivery from PrCtr 1000
Both lines for change in stock on the receiver side offset each other. From the view of the receiver profit center, the transaction represents an external delivery that is expressed as "Delivery from PrCtr".
Example of material withdrawal of semifinished product 1 (PrCtr 1) for production order 2 (PrCtr 2) using transfer prices
From the legal view, the inventory value is 1000
From the profit center view, the inventory value is 1200
The transfer price for the semifinished product is 1500
Posting in the entry view:
Change in stock SF to stock 1000
Additional line items from the profit center view:
Profit center 1 --> Internal Revenues (1500)
--> Internal change in stock 1200
Profit center 2 --> Change in stock 1500
--> Internal change in stock (1500)
--> Delivery from PrCtr 1500
