Settlements consist of final allocations of costs from orders or WBS elements to cost centers, projects, fixed assets, G/L accounts, networks, materials, sales orders, or cost objects.
To configure JVA settlements for your company, you should define the settlement objects. You can later assign these objects to the settlement rules of the sending cost objects.
Example
Requirements
Before creating settlement structures 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 settlements.
You must create a secondary cost element of type 21 "internal settlement" to be assigned to the settlement structure as the receiver of the settlement.
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 a settlement.
Standard settings
The settlement rules that control execution of settlements are assigned to the sending WBS elements and orders. These settlement rules include designation of the following:
- Cost objects that receive the results of the settlement
- Settlement profile
- Settlement structure
- Recievers of the settlement
Other JVA Settlement Structures
You will need to define some additional objects to support settlements as well.
If you wish to perform protitability analysis on settlements, you should define a PA settlement structure and assign it to the WBS element or order as well. A PA settlement structure consists of cost element groups assigned to business segments. Several such assignments can be combined in a single PA settlement structure.
You should define a number range for the documents that will result from execution of settlements.
If your company is assigned to the International region, you can assign an exchange rate type for foreign currency exchanges to your company's controlling area and settlement type (PER for for periodic or FUL for final settlement of all costs).
Recommendation
Activities
As a basis for assigning settlement rules to the WBS elements and orders, you should create the following settlement objects in JVA configuration:
- Origin structures
- Settlement structures
- Settlement profiles
There is no required order in which you must create these objects, but since both the origin and settlement structures are assigned to the settlement profile, it is logical to create these before creating the settlement profile.
Origin structures
The origin sructure defines the sending cost elements to which the costs to be settled were originally posted.
There are three steps in defining a settlement origin structure:
- Define layouts for the origin structure
- Assign multiple assignments to each layout
- Assign the range of sending cost elements whose postings will be settled to each assignment
Settlement structures
The settlement structure defines the secondary cost element that will be used to post the results of the settlement to the receiving objects.
There are three steps in defining a settlement structure:
- Create the settlement structure
- Define the multiple structure assignments of the structure
- Specify the receiving cost element for each structure assignment
For settlements, the cost element used to post results of processing should be a secondary cost element of type 21 for internal settlements. Alternatively, it is possible to settle expenses to the cost elements to which the expenses were originally posted.
In the same step when you specify the cost element to be used to post settlement results, you should specify the following:
- Account assignment categories of the cost objects to be settled using specific settlment cost elements
- manipulation rule to be used in determining the recovery indicators for the postings that result from execution of the settlement.
Settlement Profiles
When you have set up the origin and the settlement structures, you can define the settlement profile and assign these structures to it.
The settlement profile includes the following information:
- Settlement structure
- Identification of the cost object types of valid receivers
- Designation of whether settlement is allowed or required for all receivers for settlments using this profile
- Document type
- Maximum number of distribution rules allowed for the profile
- Retention period for settlement document
