In this section you make the settings required for distribution in Activity-Based Costing.

Settings are different for distribution method 1 (central activity-based costing) and for distribution method 2 (decentralized activity-based costing).

Activities

To distribute a controlling area, the settings required are:

Maintain ALE Settings in Controlling Area

  • Enter the logical system name of the central controlling system in the field Logical system.

    The name of the logical system is set in the system installation and entered in the client settings.

    In Customizing select Basis Components -> Distribution (ALE) -> Sending and Receiving Systems -> Logical Systems -> Assign Logical System to Client.

  • When you make the ALE settings in the controlling area, enter the distribution method in the field Distribution method. You can select distribution method 01 or 02.
  • If you use distribution method 2, you assign all the business processes to one master system - the logical system of the business process.

    You enter the master system of the business process in its master data.

    In Customizing choose Controlling -> Activity-Based Costing -> Master Data ->Business Processes -> Maintain Business Processes.

Check Consistency

Once you have made the settings for distributing activity-based costing, you can check the consistency of the settings (see Communication, Check Partner Profiles and Model Settings).

Carry out the consistency check in the decentralized systems so that you can check that the settings for the required message types are correct.

If you double-click on a line in the log of the consistency check, you can make the Customizing settings.

The prerequisite is that you have defined the partner profiles in all the relevant systems (siehe Maintain Partner Profiles).

Note

When you are working with distributed activity-based costing (ALE) and transport settings for the controlling area into a production system, before you export the data make sure that the logical system valid for the target system has already been entered in the controlling area. This avoid inconsistencies occurring in the target system.

Synchronization of Settings via the Transport System

Some general Controlling settings must be the same in all systems.

You can make sure of this by carrying out Customizing in one central system and then distributing the data to the other systems.

The initial Customizing data is usually loaded into decentralized Controlling using the Transport system.

For information about creating transport requests for decentralized Controlling systems see the IMG section Controlling -> Controlling General -> Production Start-Up Preparation -> Transport System Settings.

Synchronization of Individual Settings

If you are not making General Controlling settings on one central Customizing system, but separately in each participating system, make sure that the follwoing data is the same in all the systems.

  • Cross-Controllig Area Data:
    • Currencies
    • Charts of accounts
  • Attributes of the controlling area: basic data
    • Distribution method
    • Logical system
    • Currency type
    • Currency
    • Chart of accounts
    • Fiscal year variant
    • Business process - standard hierarchy
    • Indicator reconciliation ledger active
  • Attribute of the controlling area: control indicator
    • Activity-Based Costing active
    • Indicator all currencies
    • Indicator company code validation

Assignment controlling area - company code

Assignments of controlling areas to company codes can only be maintained centrally and distributed, if the assignments between local and global company codes are the same in all systems.

Otherwise the assignments must be carried out separately in each system.

For information about the concept of the global company code, see Distribution of Financial Accounting Data .
