Assessments consist of transfers of costs that were initially booked using primary or secondary cost elements from sending cost centers to receiving cost objects (cost centers, orders, WBS elements) using a specialized assessment cost element (type: 42).
The relationships between sending cost centers and receiving cost objects 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 assessments 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 transfers of costs. A new segment should be defined when the transfer rules change.
Example
Requirements
Before creating assessment 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 assessments.
You must define a secondary cost element of type 42 to be assigned to each segment of the assessment cycle. This cost element will be used to post the credit entry to the sending cost center(s) and the debit entry to the receiving cost object(s) during the assessment.
You must also 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 an assessment.

Recommendation
Activities
The process of defining an assessment cycle consists of the following steps:
- Create the cycle
- Enter information about the cycle
- Create the segment
- Assign the secondary cost element to the segment
- Assign senders and receivers to the segment
- Define receiver tracing factors for the segment
Create the cycle
To create a new assessment cycle, on the Create JV Assessments Cycle- Actual: Initial screen enter the code for the cycle in the Cycle and the starting date for the cycle in the Starting Date field. Postings to sending cost centers for segments in the cycle that are entered on or after this date will be processed for assessments in this cycle.
Enter Information about the Cycle
For new cycles, enter the following information on the Create JV Assessments 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 receive an additional assessment.
Enter an indicator in the iterative field if assessments for this cycle should be executed iteratively, which is necessary if there is a reciprocal relationship between receiving and sending cost centers.
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 will be assigned to cost objects as they are set up.
Enter an indicator in the Transaction currency field if the debit posting to the receiver that results from the assessment should be made in the currency of the original posting.
Create the Segment
To create a new segment for an assessment cycle, on the Create JV Assessments Cycle- Actual: Segment screen enter the following information:
Enter the name of the segment in the Segment field and a description of the segment in the Text field.
Assign the Secondary Cost Element to the Segment
Assign the seconday cost element (type: 42) to be used in booking the assessment by entering it in the Assess. CElem field.
Specify the method for determining sender values for the assessment. 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 assessment. Indicate whether planned or actual values are to be included.
Specify the method for determining receiver tracing factors for the assessment. In the Rule field, specify the type of tracing factors to be used in the assessment (variable portions or fixed portions, amounts, or percentages). In the Manip Rule field, enter the code for the manipulation rule that will determine the recovery indicators for the sending and receiving records that will be produced by the assessment. 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 assessment by entering the sending cost centers in the Sender Cost Center fields and the cost elements whose values are to be included in the Cost element fields. You can identify the cost objects to receive the results of the assessment by entering the codes for the cost objects in the receiving order, Cost center, Cost object, WBS element, and Cost object fields.
Define Receiver Tracing Factors
On the JV Assessment 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.
Further notes
Running an assessment using fixed values through CO produces multiple entries depending on the number of recovery indicators configured in the system.
Current functionality is:
- Option one -
You can enter the amount at sender level for all or some · specified RI's. - Option two -
If you enter the amount on receiver level (RI independent), this amount will be allocated for each specified RI on sender level.
If you don't want to specify any RI in the sender select criteria of a cycle segment, you need to delete the sender flags for the field usage for fields RECID, RECIND and RECIDOBJ with transaction KCIF.
