Documentation
Definition
Controlls how receiver tracing factors are determined.
Use
You have the following options:
- Variable portions
The tracing factors are determined automatically from the totals record file. You define the criteria for this database access in the Tracing Factor screen.
Example
Sender A distributes $100,000 to three receivers. The tracing factors are the actual costs.
Receiver Cost Element Amount
B 430000 $2000
C 430000 $1000
D 430000 $2000
Total $5000
The SAP system calculates the following values:
Receiver B: 100,000/5000 X 2000 = $40,000
Receiver C: 100,000/5000 X 1000 = $20,000
Receiver D: 100,000/5000 X 2000 = $40,000
The following receiver tracing factors are also possible in periodic reposting, assessment, and distribution:
- Plan costs
- Actual consumption
- Plan consumption
- Actual statistical key figures
- Plan statistical key figures
- Actual activity
- Plan activity
- Actual costs (statistical)
- Plan costs (statistical)
The following receiver tracing factors are also possible in cost center or business process assessment to Profitability Analysis:
Costing-based PA Accounting-based PA
Sales quantity Fixed costs
Revenue Total costs
Quantity discount Total quantity
And so on
With the function Receiver weighting factors in segment maintenance, additional receiver-specific weighting factors for receiver tracing factors can be stored in variable receiver factors. The default value is 1.
The sender base is calculated from the sum of the individually weighted receiver tracing factors.
Example:
Sender A distributes $100,000 to three receivers with the following tracing factors:
B: 50 portions Receiver weighting factor: 1
C: 50 portions Receiver weighting factor: 9
D: 100 portions Receiver weighting factor: 5
This results in the following tracing factors used for allocation:
B: 50 portions X 1 = 50
C: 50 portions X 9 = 450
D: 100 portions X 5 = 500
Total sender base: 1000 portions
The SAP system calculates the following values:
Receiver B: 100,000/1000 X 50 = $5,000
Receiver C: 100,000/1000 X 450 = $45,000
Receiver D: 100,000/1000 X 500 = $50,000
- Fixed amounts
You define fixed amounts in the Tracing Factor screen. The receivers are charged directly with these amounts. The amount credited to the sender is derived from the total of the receiver debits. The rule for determining the sender values is not used here. The R/3 System ignores posted sender amounts or defined sender amounts.
- Fixed percentages
You define fixed percentages for the receivers in the Tracing Factor screen. The value from the sender is distributed to the receivers according to this percentage. The total of receiver tracing factors must not exceed 100%. The sender base must be fully distributed. If the total of the receiver tracing factors is less than 100%, then a portion of the sender value remains on the sender.
- Fixed portions
You define fixed portions for the receivers in the Tracing Factor screen. This process is similar to the fixed percentage process, with the exception that the amount is not limited to 100. The sender base is derived from the total of the receiver tracing factors.
Example:
Sender A distributes $100,000 to three receivers with the following tracing factors:
B: 50 portions
C: 50 portions
D: 100 portions
Total: 200 portions
The SAP system calculates the following values:
Receiver B: 100,000/200 X 50 = $25,000
Receiver C: 100,000/200 X 50 = $25,000
Receiver D: 100,000/200 X 100 = $50,000
