What is the purpose of field 'COEP-USPOB' in allocation?

[Former Member]

Dear.

I use 2 step allocation (1 -> 2 -> 3)

and want to know the first sender information in receiver the third.

but, in COEP, there is only object number and partner object number. Namly, just possible to know 1 step allocation information each (1 ->2, 2->3)

I found the field USPOB(origin object), but this is always same with object number or partner object number.

What is the purpose of this field?

or Anyone have good idea to solve my issue?

Hi Samson,

an example is given in SAP Note 156563 .

If a settlement is executed after an activity allocation then the receiver of the settlement will be updated with the field USPOB containing the initial cost center + activity type which was the sender of the activity allocation before the settlement.

Kind regards

Hi Samson,

As per SAP Note 118082 - Settlement: Contents of field USPOB (source object)

"field USPOB plays a fundamental role for example in the internal business volume elimination and the actual price calculation"

Dear Szymon.

I can't understand this means of note exactly. Do you suggent the practical example of that?

and more fundamental reason of my question is the allocation issue which described on the above article.

Best regards.
