(Accounting) Reallocate the cost of FOC items between base and dependent FOC lines

Related topics

The following describes the accounting transactions the system creates when you invoice FOC items that are connected to base lines and dependent lines. During invoicing, the dependent FOC item line affects its base line in terms of costing. There can be different scenarios, depending on when the base line for FOC and the dependent FOC item line are invoiced:

  • Base line and dependent FOC item line are invoiced at the same time.
  • Base line is invoiced first and the dependent FOC item line is backlogged. In the next step, the dependent FOC item line is invoiced.
  • Dependent FOC item line is invoiced first and the Base line is backlogged. In the next step, the Base line is invoiced.

Scenario 1: Base line and dependent FOC line are invoiced at same time

In this example, one order line for Item A with quantity of five units creates a second dependent FOC item line with a quantity of two units.

Prerequisites
