Documentation

Definition

You can define an alternative characteristic value for a special characteristic value for a grouping characteristic. This alternative characteristic value is used for the creation of invoicing units instead of the original characteristic value.

Use

• For the grouping characteristic company code, for the characteristic value 1200, you define the alternative characteristic value 1100.
• When a source document with company code 1200 is processed, for the creation of the invoicing units, the value 1200 is temporarily replaced by the value 1100.
• A source document with company code 1200 can therefore be grouped with a source document with company code 1100 in one invoicing unit.

Dependencies

SAP recommends that you only maintain an alternative characteristic value if, for the alternative use, you select the option Characteristic value corresponds to alternative characteristic value.
