The Impact of MUC Triggers

When a company consists of two or more legal units as separate M3 divisions and goods are distributed from one warehouse to another, the type of scenario determines which accounting rules to apply in some accounting events.

Each scenario is represented by a multi-unit coordination (MUC) trigger, which is stored in the tables together with the transactions:

MUC Trigger Scenario
0 Goods are distributed between warehouses in the same facility.
1 Goods are distributed between warehouses in different facilities but within the same division.
2 Goods are distributed between warehouses in facilities in different divisions.

Affected Accounting Events

The MUC trigger determines which accounting rules to apply when goods are distributed between warehouses in the following accounting events:

  • MM10: Internal stock receipts
  • MM20: Internal stock issues
  • MM50: Distribution between warehouses
  • MO10: Stock issues to work in progress (maintenance orders)
  • MO20: Work performed for work in progress
  • OI20: Customer order invoicing
  • PM10: Stock issues to work in progress (production management)
  • PP40: Stock issues to work in progress (requisition order issue connected to purchase order for subcontracting)
  • SO20: Service order invoicing.

The description of the accounting rules below for these accounting events states the dependence on each MUC trigger.
