Definition

Indicate here which method you want to use to treat the negative flows detected by the flow of cost trace procedure. You have three different options:

  1. Treat pure negative flows in the same way as positive flows; treat mixtures as virtual primary costs

    The procedure analyzes all outgoing flows from a sender. If all are negative the relative percentages can be calculated, and this object can and will be treated like any object with positive flows only. If there is a mixture of positive and negative flows, the negative flows are treated as described below under #2.

  2. Treat negative flows as virtual primary costs

    The negative flows are handled as virtual primary costs on sender and receiver objects using the original secondary cost element.

  3. Ignore negative flows

    The negative flows do not create any path in the trace.

Note

If you do not want to use the default method for certain CO objects, you can use customer exit 3 to specify a different method for a specific object.
