Definition

Indicator showing how the R/3 System calculates the price of a business process or activity type for a cost center.

To do this there are two fields: The "Price indicator" field controls plan price calculation. For actual allocations you can set an indicator in the "Actual price indicator" field that differs from the plan indicator.

You can enter "001", "002" or "003" in the "Price indicator" field or "005" or "006" in the "Actual price indicator" field.

The plan price indicator can have the value "004", the actual price indicator "008". This occurs if you have selected "Purely iterative Prices" in version maintenance within Customizing.

Note

If you do not set a price indicator, the system uses the plan price.

The meaning of the possible entries is as follows:

  • 001:

    The price of the activity type is determined automatically based on the planned activity and the planned costs required for this plan activity quantity.

    Fixed price:    Fixed planned costs/plan activity quantity

    Variable price:    Variable planned costs/plan activity quantity

    Total price:        Fixed price + variable price

  • 002:

    The variable portion of the price is calculated based on the plan activity quantity. To determine the fixed portion, the system uses the capacity and not the plan activity quantity.

    This procedure usually leads to an underabsorption of the cost center or business process from the perspective of quantities.

    Fixed price:        Fixed planned costs/capacity

    Variable price:    Variable planned costs/planned activity

    Total price:        Fixed price + variable price

    Note

    If you have entered the values "001" or "002", the system calculates new prices when determining the plan prices.

  • 003:

    The price of the activity type or business process is set manually.

  • 004 (activation of version maintenance):

    The plan price of the activity type or business process is determined iteratively only.

    If you activate the indicator purely iterative price in the version, the R/3 System calculates an iterative price along with the price resulting from planning.

  • 005: (actual price)

    The R/3 System determines the price of the activity type using the actual activity of the cost center.

  • 006: (actual price)

    The variable portion of the price is calculated based on the actual activity.

    Note

    If you have set the values "005" and "006", the system calculates new prices when you execute actual price calculation. Revaluation of actual activity at actual prices occurs only if you have selected Revaluation in version maintenance.

  • 007 (manual actual price)

    The actual price of the activity price or business process is set manually. Using this price indicator, you can set an independent (manual) price that differs from the plan.

  • 008: (actual price, selection using version maintenance)

    Purely iterative actual price

    If you activate the indicator Purely iterative price in the version, the R/3 System calculates an iterative price along with the price resulting from planning.

Use

In the master data of the activity type or business process, you can define a default value.

When planning for the first time, this default value can be overwritten.

Supplementary Documentation - TARKZ 0001

Procedure

You determine plan activity price calculation bases with indicator 1, 2 or 3.

Dependencies

If you do not fill the field "Activity price indicator" under "Variant values for actual allocation", this indicator will serve as the calculation base for the actual activity price as well.

Notes

Field changes

Can be changed on the fiscal year level (such as for a new year).

Time dependency

This field is always time-based.
