Documentation
Definition
Select this indicator to have the system determine a profitability segment by means of substitution for automatic postings. The corresponding posting is then passed on to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA).
Note that automatic assignments to a profitability segment should only be used under special circumstances for certain accounts and business transactions only.
Typical business transactions for which it makes sense to have a profitability segment found automatically include
- The transfer of price differences that are posted in purchasing due to differing order prices or differing prices in invoice receipt (as period costs)
- The transfer of expenses or revenues that arise due to a revaluation of material stocks (as period costs)
- The transfer of inventory differences (as period costs)
The data is posted to a profitability segment found on the basis of the information found in the FI document. If the information there is not very detailed (not many characteristic values), the data is posted to a higher aggregation level.
Further notes
- Generally, a profitability segment is found and updated in Profitability Analysis automatically when the corresponding sender document is created (such as when you assign FI postings directly to a profitability segment, or when you create sales orders or billing documents). Therefore, it is not desirable to have the system find a profitability segment for all the accounts relevant to profits by assigning accounts in this function.
- If, in Materials Management, an account assignment to a profitability segment is required, you need to ensure that in inventory management for the corresponding transaction types, the field status group permits an account assignment to a profitability segment.
