Documentation
Definition
If this indicator is set, the process attribute 'Cost behaviour' can be maintained in the master record of the business process. The cost behaviour displays one of five attributes which are delivered in the standard software.
Attributes characterize processes. When allocating processes to processes/cost objects, attributes are transferred to the transaction data where the receiver views and evaluates them. Overwriting attributes defined in the master data record is possible within the allocations (cycles). This makes detailed evaluation and analysis possible in reporting.
You can assign any attributes you wish to the classifications.
The classifications are as follows:
- process category
- ranking of internal value added
- ranking of external value added
- cost behavior
- additional attribute
Up to and including Release 3.0, the attributes can be directly assigned to business processes only. They can assigned indirectly to other objects when defining the assessment cycle.
These attributes are then visible on the receivers.
Example: Processes A, B, and C allocate to cost object Y. Process A is of category "Sales", B of category "Administration", and C of category "Sales".
Process A Process B Process C
$1000 $2000 $3000
\ | /
\ | /
Cost Object Y
(Total $6000)
Sales $4000
Admin $2000
In the cost object you see, among other data, that $4000 was allocated from sales processes and $2000 from administration processes. This example could be used for any of the other classifications. All the data is passed on to the receiver.
