In this step you define product groups that are transferred within your corporate group. You assign these product groups to the inventory items or item sets. You enter additional financial data for the elimination of IU profit/loss in transferred inventory on the basis of these product groups. There are two ways of doing this:
- You can enter the additional financial data in the Consolidation application menu.
- You can access the reported inventory data from the totals database if the totals database contains a unique characteristic for the product group. In this case it is important that all inventory items share the same breakdown category. Then the subassignments can be maintained globally.
The system calculates the interunit profit/loss for each product group and each pair of consolidation units.
In the global system settings for Consolidation, you can choose define the use of product groups with respect to the elimination of IU profit/loss in inventory. The product group can be either a unique characteristic or a custom characteristic subassignment. If you access the reported inventory data from the database, there is no need to maintain the inventory data during the entry of the additional financial data for the elimination of IU profit/loss in inventory.
It is important that all inventory items share the same breakdown category if the inventory data is read from the totals database. Then the subassignments are maintained globally.
The system eliminates the IU profit/loss either at the inventory item level or at the product group level. This is why you must assign the product groups to the inventory items. In general terms, the inventory items build an aggregation for the product groups.
Example
You could define the product groups motors, transmissions, and so on, and assign them to inventory items.
Activities
- Define the appropriate product groups for the goods transferred within your group.
- Assign the product groups to the inventory items or to the FS item sets you have defined beforehand.
In a single step you can select multiple product groups and assign them to the inventory items or the item sets. The view for assigning inventory items to product groups automatically shows the names of the product groups that you selected. Insert either the individual inventory items or the set name.
Further notes
You can display the master data of the defined product groups, for example, in order to make a printout. To print the master data, choose the Print function and enter selection criteria for the list. The system generates the list using the ABAP List Viewer. You can use the functions available in this tool to filter data or customize the display of the data columns (for more information, see the documentation on the ABAP List Viewer in the SAP Library).
