Definition

The flow of cost trace procedure derives a specific minimal percentage per source object from the accuracy parameters. Whenever the total percentage traced from this sender to any non-final receiver object falls below this minimal percentage then the analysis for the current path is stopped and the path is dropped.

This is done to increase the performance and to reduce the number of paths storing only the material ones in the database.

The minimal percentage is calculated per source object by the following rules. Here USD is taken as the controlling area currency:

  1. Only the absolute accuracy amount is specified

    The preliminary percentage is calculated by dividing the absolute accuracy amount by the maximum amount per cost element on the source object.

  2. Only the relative accuracy percentage is specified

    Generally this percentage is taken as the minimal percentage. Only in the case where this percentage applied to the maximal amount is already less than 0.01 USD then it is increased to result in at least 0.01 USD.

  3. Both the absolute and the relative accuracy are specified

    The preliminary percentage is the smaller of the two percentages derived by rules 1 and 2.

  4. Neither the absolute nor the relative accuracy is specified

    A default value of 0.01 USD is taken as absolute accuracy and rule 1 is applied.

Example

Lets assume the maximum amount per primary cost element on the source object is 100.00 USD. The resulting minimal percentages for different combinations of accuracy parameter values are:

Absolute accuracy    Relative accuracy    Minimal percentage

1.00 USD    -    1 %

-    2 %    2 %

-    0.004 %    0.01 %

1.00 USD    2 %    1 %

2.00 USD    1 %    1 %

2.00 USD    0.004 %    0.01 %

-    -    0.01 %
