Definition

Item category which identifies the "leading" item.

Using the "leading" item, the "leading" or "initiating" company code is determined for the cross-company code transactions. This is necessary so that the company code offsetting lines can be treated in different ways.

Note

This item category should appear in exactly one business transaction.

Example

A vendor invoice appears as follows:

CoCo Account Amount

0001 Vendor 1150.00-

0001 Expense 500.00

0001 Tax 150.00

0001 CoCdfs 0002 300.00

0001 CoCdfs 0003 200,00

----- ------------ -------

0002 Expense 300,00

0002 CoCdfs 0001 300,00-

----- ------------ -------

0003 Expense 100,00

0003 Expense 100,00

0003 CoCdfs 0001 200,00-

If item category "vendor" is determined to be the "leading" item, the items "CoCdfs 0002" and "CoCdfs 0002" are treated differently in company code "0001" than the items "CoCdfs 0001" in the company codes "0002" and "0003".
