Definition

Controls how receiver tracing factors are determined.

Use

You have the following options:

  • Variable portions

    The tracing factors are computed automatically by reading the totals record file. You define the criteria by which this data is accessed on the tracing factor tab page.

    Example

    Sender A distributes 100 production hours to three receivers. The tracing factors are the actual costs

Receiver    Cost Elem    Amount

B    430000    2000 USD

C    430000    1000 USD

D    430000    2000 USD

Total        5000 USD

The SAP System calculates the following values:

Receiver B: 100 production hours/5000 X 2000 = 40 prod.hours

Receiver C: 100 production hours/5000 X 1000 = 20 prod.hours

Receiver D: 100 production hours/5000 X 2000 = 40 prod.hours

With the function Receiver weighting factors in segment maintenance, additional receiver-specific weighting factores for receiver tracing factors can be stored in variable receiver factors.

The system proposes a default value of 1 (no decimal place).

The system calculates the sender base from the sum of the individually weighted receiver tracing factors.

Example:

Sender A distributes $100,000 to three receivers with the following tracing factors:

Receiver B: 50 portions Receiver weighting factor: 1

Receiver C: 50 portions Receiver weighting factor: 9

Receiver D: 100 portions Receiver weighting factor: 5

This results in the following tracing factors used for allocation:

Receiver B: 50 portions X 1 = 50

Receiver C: 50 portions X 9 = 450

Receiver D: 100 portions X 5 = 500

Total: 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

The following receiver tracing factors are also possible:

  • Version
  • Activity type
  • Origin
  • Statistical key figure

  • Fixed amounts

    You define fixed amounts on the tracing factor tab page. 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 SAP system ignores posted sender amounts or defined sender amounts.

  • Fixed percentages

    You define fixed percentages for the receivers on 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 on the Tracing factor tab page. This process is similar to the process for fixed percentages, with the exception that the sender is credited in full, unless you defined a percentage remaining value.

    Example:

    Sender A distributes 100 production hours to three receivers with the following tracing factors:

    Receiver B: 50 portions

    Receiver C: 50 portions

    Receiver D: 100 portions

    Total: 200 portions

    The SAP system calculates the following values:

    Receiver B: 100 production hours/200 X 50 = 25 production hours

    Receiver C: 100 production hours/200 X 50 = 25 production hours

    Receiver D: 100 production hours/200 X 100 = 50 production hours
