Definition

Indicator determining the method of actual activity allocation.

  • Allocation category 1 (Manual entry, manual allocation)

    Actual activity quantities in internal activity allocation are entered based on transaction.

  • Allocation category 2 (Indirect calculation, indirect allocation)

    Activity quantities produced cannot be calculated or only with great effort. The plan and actual activity quantities are determined in indirect activity allocation using defined sender/receiver relationships and receiver tracing factors or fixed quantities (defined in the segments)

    Allocating the activities also takes place automatically through indirect activity allocation as described above.

    The actual and plan activity quantities result from the sum of the activity inputs calculated from the tracing factors on the individual receivers.

    Plan and scheduled activity quantities are therefore automatically reconciled.

  • Allocation category 3 (Manual entry, indirect allocation)

    Activity quantities are planned manually. Entering the actual activity quantity takes place on a transaction-related basis using a special function (Non-allocatable activities) for which no receiver objects can be given.

    The plan and actual activity quantities are allocated indirectly using defined sender/receiver relationships. The R/3 System calculates the activity quantity to be allocated for each receiver based on the ratios of tracing factors for all receivers. The manually planned or posted activity is thereby completely allocated to the receivers.

    This always ensures that the plan activities are fully reconciled after carrying out indirect activity allocation.

  • Allocation category 4 (Manual entry, no allocation)

    Activity allocation uses actual activity quantities entered on a transaction-related basis using a special function (Non-allocatable activities) where no receiver objects can be entered.

  • Allocation category 5 (Calculation and allocation via target=actual activity allocation)

    Used in target=actual activity allocation.

    Because the allocation is used only for actual values, activities used in target=actual activity allocation must be given separate categories for plan and actual. Planning can use categories 1, 2, or 3, where 1 is used as a rule.

Use

You can store a default value in the master data of an activity type or a business process.

You can overwrite the default value within planning if you are planning for the first time.
