considerations.

the Material Ledger.
 Group Valuation:
 Intercompany Transfer - Cross Company Code
Costing:
 Company Code to Company Code Transfer:
This refers to the transfer of goods or services
from one legal entity (company code) to
another within the same corporate group. The
pricing for these transfers might be at cost,
market price, or a predetermined transfer
price.
 Profit Centre Valuation:
 Intracompany Transfer - Within the Company Code
Costing:
 Refers to the valuation of goods and services
within a specific profit center. A profit center is
a segment or unit within a company that
directly adds to its profits and is responsible
for its own revenues and costs.
 Markup Cost with Transfer Pricing Logic with
Profit Centre Valuation: This involves pricing
goods or services with a markup, but the
markup is determined based on transfer
pricing logic. Transfer pricing refers to the
rules and methods for setting prices for goods

5
 and services sold between related entities
within an enterprise.
 This refers to transfers of goods or services
within the same legal entity (company code).
The pricing for these transactions might be set
at cost or a predetermined transfer price. Since
these transfers are within the same legal entity,
they don't have tax implications like
intercompany transfers might
