The advantage of indirect activity allocation over cost assessment is that you can allocate the entire activity based on the activity quantity performed or one determined indirectly after valuating it with a fixed and/or a variable price. For information on the basic concept of indirect activity allocation, see Indirect Activity Allocation.
Activities
To define indirect activity allocation, perform the same steps described in Activity-Based Costing. See Maintain Indirect Activity Allocation in Customizing for CO-OM-ABC.
Enter a suitable business process in the cycle as the sender object.
As the receiver, enter those profitability segments that are relevant for allocation.
Prerequisites
You must have a business process that uses allocation category 02 or 03.
The process must have plan data so that a price can be found for valuating the process, or an actual price must have been determined.
Note on Planning
The receiver version of a cycle is determined using the assignments you make to the sender version under "Planning -> Integrated Planning -> Transfer of Planned Overhead -> Initial Steps -> Assign Receiver Plan Version".
Ensure that the controlling area for the receiver is the same as that for the sender. Consequently, for the receiver rule "variable portions", you need to ensure that the characteristic "Controlling area" has already been planned in manual planning if planning data is to be taken as the basis for allocation.
