Symptom
- In countries such as Italy, France, and Spain, it is a legal requirement to document the costs of procured stock material as well as any variations in purchased stock at any point during the fiscal year.
- However, the Purchase Account tab under the Inventories subledger is not visible in the Account Determination Profile ABC for the specified Chart of Accounts.
- Note: ABC refers to the Account Determination Profile
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
