  • Data created in other mySAP ERP applications can have a direct influence on Management Accounting. For example, if a non-stock item is purchased, an expense is posted to the general ledger. This expense is also posted as costs to a cost center, for example, for which the item was purchased. That cost center’s costs can be passed on later as overhead to a production cost center.

Material Replenishment Planning Guide

This process is used to run the replenishment requirement of all materials at a plant.  Each plant will determine the frequency of running MRP – every other day, once a week.  The purpose of MRP is to ensure the right material arrives at the right place at the right time.  The MRP run is used to automatically generate planned orders or purchase requisitions enabling the replenishment of materials depleted by consumption and the planning of known requirements. The system tries to achieve a balance between optimizing needed materials and minimizing costs by keeping inventory levels at a minimum and having no stock outages.

What is Splitting in SAP ?

‘Splitting’ is a process in SAP used to assign ‘activity-independent’ plans/actual costs, both primary andsecondary, of a cost center to the individual activity types within that cost center. But the important requirement is that you will use this when there is no account assignment to the activity types.

You may either use the Splitting rules or the Equivalence number to achieve this. When you split the costs from a cost center, the cost center temporarily becomes more than one cost center for the purpose of allocation but again becomes a single cost center when posting happens in the subsequent period.
