Definition

The calculation method of a cell is made up of the master data attributes taken from the characteristic values of the characteristics involved (transfer logic header, row, column).

If, for example, you use the scaling method, you must define cell calculations so that they use given values only for scaling.

These values result from the current ITDAT3 key, where the current characteristic value for characteristic KPP0L-CALCMF is replaced by ITAUSPR-NORMA.

Here, CALCMF is the characteristic with the value carried by method CALCM_NORM.

After scaling with the scaling base, the system creates the calculation formula.

Example

Previously, this method appeared only in Overhead Cost Controlling (CO-OM):

ITAUSPR
FIELDNAME VALUE CALCM NORMA
--------- ------ ---------- -----
VALUES Price CALCM_NORM Price unit

Therefore, the detemination of the scaling basis replaces the value from dimension VALUES with the value from "Price unit":

Period Values

Period Price Price Unit
------- ----- ------------
1 1,50 1
2 25 10 ("per 10 pieces")
3 2 1

The overview screen shows the calculation formula used to scale numbers based on the price unit 10:

Period Price Price Unit
------- ----- ------------
1-3 20 10

Remarks:

  • In the PAI, the price unit disappears for all periods.
  • The price unit itself uses CALCM_NOTH (maximum).
  • CALCM_NOTH and CALCM_NORM play off each other during an update. If the system updates an entry with CALCM_NORM, the associated entry with CALCM_NOTH disappears and, along with it, the other entries assigned to that entry with CALCM_NORM (see routine ic007 and below).
