Defining a cost center for a sale TCD account based on additional parameters – An overview

These parameters are specified for the company code + finance book + event + TCD account combination. You can specify the additional parameters involved in cost center mapping like the:

Customer group
Customer
Ship to Id
Cost center usage
Sale type
Sale order type
Processing action
Numbering series
Folder
Shipping point
Delivery area code
Ordering point
Mode of transportation

For a company code, finance book, TCD code, TCD variant, TCD account and effective from date combination, if “All” has been selected for the parameters: sale type, sale order type, processing action, numbering series, folder, shipping point, delivery area code and ordering point are selected for a particular cost center rule definition then, for the same company code, finance book, TCD code, TCD variant, TCD account and effective from date combination, another definition with individual values of the above parameters cannot be defined.

But, for parameters like customer group and customer, it is possible to have a cost center rule definition for “All” or for a specific value. When any of these fields are left blank, then the cost center rule definition will be applied for “All”.

The usage that has been defined for the cost center in this business component can also be used as a user configurable parameter for cost center definition.

The system saves the sale TCD cost center with all the additional parameters. The system also updates the login ID of the currently logged in user and the system date along with the sale TCD cost center definition.
