GBU / BU codes determination
BU / GBU determination
Business Unit is determined either from the Sales or from the Material x Plant.
(More information is available in the Finance Wiki - refer to the link below)
Sales BfC BU (DynaSys DP)
PF1 :
The Distribution Channel (DC) doesn't exist in PF1. The BfC BU replaces the DC for PF1 flows.
The BU is determined through the Profit Center from the Material and the plant (=Shipping Site).
This BU is the reference to create the DFU : Material:ShipTo@DC
WP1 :
The BfC BU is determined through the Division of the Material and the Distribution Channel.
A table determines by DC x Division is linked to the IECRA. The IECRA is then linked to the BfC Activity 1 linked to the BfC BU and to a BFC GBU. Division in French is called Secteur d’activité (SA)
In DynaSys a link is set-up between the Distribution Channel and the BU. This link is specific to DynaSys
Material x Plant BU (Stock)
PF1 & WP1 :
The BU at the Material x Plant level is determined through the profit center.
For PF1, the Sales BU and the Material x Plant BU are aligned.
For WP1, the Material x Plant BU can sometimes be a generic one (generally the BU : "UNALLOCATED xxx") as the Sales BU/Market can't be determined only with the Material/Plant.
