Definition

  • Procurement categories (process categories that begin with B) are activities that, as a rule, lead to a receipt (for example, purchase orders, production, subcontracting, stock transfers).
  • Consumption types (process categories that begin with V) are activities that, as a rule, lead to a withdrawl (for example, withdrawls from production orders and cost centers).

Process categories are defined in the system. Activities that are not assigned to a procurement category are assigned to process category B+. Activities that are not assigned to a consumption type are assigned to process category V+.
