In this step, you define cycles as rules for actual profit center settlement by account.

Example

Requirements

Standard settings

EC-PCA is delivered with application-specific settings for the distribution cycles. If necessary, you can change these settings under Maintain Field Usage.

Recommendation

You can improve system performance by carrying out assessment instead of distribution. This is possible provided that it is not necessary to state the cost elements originally posted.

For example, if allocations are carried out from a sender profit center with 100 cost elements to 500 receiver profit centers, this means that

  • using assessment (with a single assessment cost element:

    500 sender summary records and 500 receiver summary records are updated. Partner profit centers are updated on both sides, though no differentiation is made according to the underlying cost elements.

  • using distribution:

    100 x 500 sender summary records and 100 x 500 receiver summary records are updated. Summary records are differentiated both according to partner profit center and cost elements.

The greater the number of senders and receivers, the greater the benefit to be gained in terms of system performance by using assessment rather than distribution.

Activities

To create a cycle, proceed as follows:

  1. Specify a name and a start date for the cycle.
  2. Enter the header data for the cycle.
  3. Create the individual segements using Attach Segment and make the required entries for distribution rules/assessment rules.
  4. Save the cycle.

Further notes

You can transport these settings using the Profit Center Accounting transport connection.
