Hierarchy for Responsible Business Unit

If the business unit of AAI is blank, the system locates the responsible business unit based on the value that is specified in the Responsible Business Unit field, which is located on the Contracts tab in the SWM Constants.

In the SWM Constants, you can select one of these options for the system to use to locate the responsible business unit:

Option	Description
Item Branch Master - Service/Warranty Extension (F41171) or Item Master - Service/Warranty Extension (F4117)	The system uses the branch/plant and item number on the contract detail line to find the responsible business unit in the Item Branch Master - Service/Warranty Extension (F41171). If the branch/plant is blank, the system uses the item number on the contract detail line to find the responsible business unit in the Item Master - Service/Warranty Extension (F4117). If the business unit exists in table F41171 or F4117, the system uses this business unit in the resulting accounting journal entry.
Product Family/Model Master (F1790)	The system uses the product model on the contract detail line to find the responsible business unit in the Product Family/Model Master table (F1790). If the business unit exists in table F1790, the system uses this business unit in the resulting accounting journal entry.
Asset Master File (F1201)	The system uses the equipment number on the contract detail line to find the responsible business unit in the Asset Master File (F1201). If the business unit exists in table F1201, the system uses this business unit in the resulting accounting journal entry.
Address Book Master (F0101)	The system uses the customer number on the contract detail line to find the responsible business unit in the Address Book Master table (F0101). If the business unit for the customer exists in table F0101, the system uses this business unit in the resulting accounting journal entry.
SWM Line Type Constants (F1793) - only used for contracts	The system uses the line type on the contract detail line to find the responsible business unit in the SWM Line Type Constants table (F1793). If the business unit exists in table F1793, the system uses this business unit in the resulting accounting journal entry.

Note: If you assign a project business unit to the responsible business unit in the Business Unit Master table (F0006), the system uses the project business unit as the business unit for the account.
