Merchandise Category wise GL Account mapping for P&L

[Former Member]

Hi

we have requirement to build the Merchandise category wise GL Accounting in the system that helps to track category wise cost and sales.

I understood in SAP we have Company,Business area ,Cost& Profit center Level GLs for P&L Accounts.

i would like to know is this suggestable to configure the Merchindise category wise GL Accounts. we have arround 1500 Merchandise categories. Mapping 150 GL accounts to the above MCs looks very unwise hence i would like to hear from the experts is this right method to follow or suggest us what can be done better.

Hi Uzwal,

Even you can track the costs & sales at MM and SD side also.  The similar nature of merchandise into one category like that you can reduce as much as possible.
