Distributions consist of direct transfers of costs from the cost centers and cost elements to which they were originally booked to receiving cost objects (orders, cost centers, WBS elements, cost objects).
The relationships between sending cost centers and cost elements on the one hand and receiving cost objects on the other are defined in cycles and their dependent segments. This step of JVA configuration involves defining the cycles and segments that will be used to transfer costs from senders to receivers when the distributions transaction is executed in JVA processing.
Cycles essentially consist of groups of segments. Segments consist of groups of sending cost centers and receiving cost objects and the rules that govern the transfer of costs. A new segment should be defined when the transfer rules change.
Example
Requirements
Before creating distribution cycles in JVA, you should configure the controlling area for your company. You should also create the cost objects (including assigning JVA information to them) that will be involved in distributions.
You must define the manipulation rule that will be used to determine the recovery indicators to be assigned to the postings to the sending and receiving cost objects produced by the distribution.

Activities
The process of defining a distribution cycle consists of the following steps:
- Create the cycle
- Enter information about the cycle
- Create the segment
- Assign senders and receivers to the segment
- Define receiver tracing factors for the segment
Create the Cycle
To create a new distribution cycle, on the Create JV Distributions Cycle-Actual:Initial screen enter the code for the cycle in the Cycle field and the starting date for the cycle in the Starting Date field. Postings to sending cost centers and cost elements for segments in the cycle that are entered on or after this date will be included in processing of the distribution cycle.
Enter Information about the Cycle
For new distribution cycles, enter the following informatin on the Create JV Distributions Cycle-Actual: Header Data screen:
Enter a description of the cycle in the Text field.
Enter an indicator in the Scale neg.trac.fact. field if negative tracing factors for receiving cost objects are to be scaled. If tracing factors are not scaled, receivers with negative tracing factors will be credited along with the sending cost centers, and receivers with positive tracing factors will received an additional distribution.
Enter an indicator in the Iterative field if the distribution for this cycle should be executed iteratively.
Enter an indicator in the Consumption field if quantities are to be included in the distribution.
Enter an indicator in the Object currency field if the currency assigned to the cost object should be included in calculations. This may be desired if the controlling area currency differs from the company currency, which is assigned to cost objects when they are set up.
Enter an indicator in the Transaction currency field if the debit posting to the receiver that results from the distribution should be made in the currency of the original posting to the sender.
Create the Segment
To create a new segment for a distribution cycle, on the Create JV Distributions Cycle-Actual: Segment screen enter the following information:
Enter the name of the segment in the Segment field and a description of it in the Text field.
Specify the method for determining sender values for the distribution. Indicate the type of values to be included (posted or fixed amounts or fixed rates) in the Rule field. In the Portion in % field, indicate the percentage of amounts posted to the sender that will be included in the distribution. Indicate whether planned or actual values are to be included.
Specify the method for determining receiver tracing factors for the distribution. In the Rule field, specify the type of tracing factors to be used in the distribution (variable portions or fixed amounts, portions, or percentages). In the Manip Rule field, enter the code for the manipulation rule that will be used to determine the recovery indicators for the sending and receiving records resulting from the distribution. You should have defined recovery indicator manipulation rules in the previous step of JVA configuration.
Assign Senders and Receivers to the Segment
You can identify the source of sender values for the distribution by entering the sending cost centers and cost elements in the Sender Cost center and Cost element fields.
You can identify the cost objects to receive the results of the distribution by entering the codes for the cost objects in the receiving Order, Cost center, WBS element, and Cost object fields.
Define Receiver Tracing Factors for the Segment
On the JV Distribution Cycle-Actual: Tracing Factors screen, enter the information about tracing factors for the segment. The fields that are available for entry on this screen are determined by the selection of the tracing factors rule on the segment. This screen is used to determine the method by which sending records will be allocated among receiving cost objects.
