Definition

Use

For subsequent business transactions, you decide whether the costs and revenue should be posted to the account assignment object of the reference transaction, or to a new account assignment object:

Copy: The same account assignment object is used.

Ignore: A new account assignment object is created.

For the controlling type Controlling on Account Assignment Object, the Ignore function setting is limited because account assignment in subsequent business transactions can no longer be changed.

Note the following:

To enable you to analyze all planned costs, actual costs, and revenues for all of the business transactions that belong together logically, choose the setting Copy.

Dependencies

Example

CRM Service business scenario; Single-Object Controlling:

  • The costs and revenue for a CRM service confirmation should be posted to the internal order of the service order for which the confirmation is made. To do this, you must select the Copy setting.
  • If a new internal order should be created for a CRM return, choose the Ignore setting. You then have separate cost and revenue controlling for the referenced CRM transaction and for the return.
