You determine rules for indirect activity allocation in the form of cycles.

For cost centers with activities that cannot be measured or measured only with great difficulty, the activity quantities can be determined indirectly.

In indirect activity allocation, the usage of sender activities (cost center/activity type) is determined via tracing factors from the viewpoint of the activity receivers.

The tracing factors are defined as in assessment or distribution.

Requirements

  • You must maintain activity types for indirect allocation in actual and plan.
  • The requirement for indirect activity allocation in actual and planning data is that all senders and all receivers of the cost object cost center/activity type are included in activity type planning for activity type category 3.
    • You enter activity quantities for activity type category 3 ("Manual entry, automatic allocation") for planning data with activity type planning.
      • Note:
      Planning activity quantities with the aid of activity type planning is only possible for activity type category 3. For activity type category 2 the SAP system automatically creates a cost center/activity type record. Sender activity quantities are indirectly determined from the receiver tracing factors and through fixed quantities.
    • For actual data, a posted sender activity quantity can be created by entering non-allocatable activities.
      • Note:
      Entering posted activity quantities for activity type category 3 is not possible, since the activity quantities are indirectly determined.
  • The requirement for indirect activity allocation in actual and planning data for activity type category 2 is that a value NOT equal to zero is entered in the segment definition for the sender-specific weighting factors with the function Sender values. Only then will the corresponding record be included in the activity allocation.
    • Examples for Indirect Activity Allocation

Activities

Create a cycle for indirect activity allocation as follows:

  1. Determine a name for the cycle.
  2. Determine a date as of which the cycle is to be valid.
  3. Maintain the header data of the cycle by specifying the following:
    1. an explanatory text
    2. the date to which the cycle is to be valid
    3. whether negative tracing factors are to be standardized
  4. Define cycle segments in which you store the following information:
    1. a name and text for each segment
    2. the sender values
    3. the tracing factor
    4. the selection criteria (sender objects and receiver objects)
  5. Save the cycle.

Notes for Transport

If, in your client, you have not selected the automatic recording of changes for client-specific objects (in Customizing under Basis Components -> System Administration -> Change and Transport System -> Configure Clients), you can transport your settings to the target system in a user-defined activity.
To do this, in Customizing, choose Controlling -> General Controlling -> Production Start-Up Preparation -> Transport System Settings and then process the relevant activity.

Further notes

For more information, see the SAP Library under Financials -> CO Controlling -> Cost Center Accounting -> Cost Center Planning -> Periodic Allocations -> Indirect Activity Allocation or in Period-End Closing -> Defining Periodic Repostings or Periodic Allocations.
