There is field Supp Stat Grp on Supplier, Purchase tab, General tab. It can be used as control type for M10, M18 posting types. I wonder how it iis used in multi-company installations ? For example Polish supplier in Poland would be domestic while in Sweden it will be EU supplier. Unfortunately the data on Purchase tab is not dependant on company so it is global for all companies. How global IFS customers are dealing with it ?
Question
Supplier Statistical Group
+2I have wondered that too and my conclusion is that directly, it isn’t meant to be used to allocate any postings based on country/region point of view.. It is more meant to be used to group suppliers based eg. on products what they sell and so on.
Of course, it is possible to create “Combination control type” using “Statistic group for supplier” and “site” for M10 or M18 and then you can do postings based on region/country.

To overcome this we simply defined customer/supplier number ranges for each IFS company. For example the US company range is 13%, for MEX is 15%. In this case we no longer use supplier/customers as global objects, but rather company/site specific. With this approach we need of course to have policies in place to correctly manage masterdata creation / modification
