Documentation
Definition
Info provider for cost allocation.
Use
Choose an info provider in BW that contains the reference data by which the main items of the settlement request are allocated to sub-items.
The info provider must be a standard info cube or a multi provider.
Dependencies
There is a list of characteristics that, directly or indirectly, must be part of the info provider you have chosen. A characteristic indirectly being part of the info provider means that it is either a reference characteristic of another characteristic which is part of the info provider, or that it is the attribute name of a navigational attribute which is part of the info provider. This is the list of required characteristics:
- 0PLANT (plant)
- 0COMP_CODE (company code)
- 0SALESORG (sales organization)
- 0DISTR_CHAN (distribution channel)
- 0MATNR (material), unless distribution type 1 (RMA) is set in the billing type, and you have made the setting for pre-aggregating the selection of reference data to the RMA object level
- 0VENDOR (vendor), if you have made the setting for taking the vendor into account for the selection of reference data
- 0PURCH_ORG (purchasing organization), if you have made the setting for taking the purchasing organization into account for the selection of reference data
- 0PUR_GROUP (purchasing group), if you have made the setting for taking the purchasing group into account for the selection of reference data
- 0RT_VENDP (vendor sub-range), if you have made the setting for taking the vendor sub-range into account for the selection of reference data
The following time characteristics must be part of the info provider:
- 0FISCPER (fiscal year period), if you have chosen the current or previous fiscal year period as a basis for the selection of cumulative reference data
- 0FISCYEAR (fiscal year), if you have chosen the previous fiscal year as a basis for the selection of cumulative reference data
- If you have chosen a non-cumulative info cube as an info provider, one of the following three time characteristics must be in the validity table of the cube:
- 0CALDAY (calendar day)
- 0FISCPER (fiscal year period)
- 0FISCYEAR (fiscal year)
If a non-cumulative key figure, (for example, current inventory) is chosen as a reference key figure for cost allocation, this must be one of the following two types:
- Non-Cumulative value with receipt and issue key figure. In this case the info cube with that key figure must be entered directly; not a multi provider which just contains that info cube.
- Cumulative value with exception aggregation LAS (last value), and exception aggregation characteristic 0FISCPER (posting period).
If distribution type 1 (RMA) is set in the billing type, the characteristics that correspond to the different levels of the RMA object hierarchy must be part of the info provider.
- If the article hierarchy is chosen as an object model, see the following:
- 0CM_MCATDIV (Industry)
- 0CM_CDT1 (Category)
- 0CM_CDT2 (Sub-Category)
- 0CM_CDT3 (Segment)
- If the merchandise category hierarchy is chosen as an object model, see the following:
- 0MATL_GROUP (Merchandise category)
- 0RPA_WGH1 (Merchandise category hierarchy level 1)
- 0RPA_WGH2 (Merchandise category hierarchy level 2)
- 0RPA_WGH3 (Merchandise category hierarchy level 3)
- 0RPA_WGH4 (Merchandise category hierarchy level 4)
Example
If distribution type 1 (RMA) is set in the billing type, the following info providers in standard BW content can be chosen:
- 0RMA_MP01 (both non-cumulative and cumulative key figures, aggregated by RMA valuation level of either article hierarchy or merchandise category hierarchy)
- 0RSL_C01 (non-cumulative key figures, detailed at material level, merchandise category hierarchy)
- 0RSL_C02 (cumulative key figures, detailed at material level, merchandise category hierarchy)
Multi provider 0RMA_MP01 indirectly contains the following characteristics:
- 0PLANT (as reference characteristic of 0RT_LOCATIO)
- 0COMP_CODE, 0SALESORG, 0DISTR_CHAN (as navigational attributes of 0RT_LOCATIO)
