Hierarchy for the Responsible Business Unit for Work Orders

If the business unit for the 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 Work Orders tab in the SWM constants.

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

Option	Description
Item Branch Master - Service/Warranty Extension (F41171)	The system uses the branch/plant and item number on the work order to look up the responsible business unit in the Item Branch Master -Service/Warranty Extension table (F41171). If the business unit exists in the table, the system uses this business unit in the resulting accounting journal entry.
Item Master - Service/Warranty Extension (F4117)	The system uses the item number on the work order to look up the responsible business unit in the Item Master - Service/Warranty Extension table (F4117). If the business unit exists in the table, 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 work order detail line to look up the responsible business unit in the Product Family/Model Master table (F1790). If the business unit exists in the table, the system uses this business unit in the resulting accounting journal entry.
Asset Master File (F1201)	The system uses the equipment number on the work order detail line to look up the responsible business unit in the Asset Master File table (F1201). If the business unit exists in the table, the system uses this business unit in the resulting accounting journal entry.
Customer Master (F0301)	The system uses the customer number on the work order detail line to look up the responsible business unit in the Customer Master table (F0301). If the business unit exists for the customer in the table, 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.
