Editing Scenario Periods of Cost Objects

Prerequisites

You can change costing figures by adjusting the scenario period for the cost objects in a scenario.

The scenario period shows the length of time that the costs associated with a cost object are included in a scenario. So, by reducing the scenario period, you reduce the costs associated with the object.

When you edit scenario periods, the system "splits" the period so that there are two entries in the table. The first entry shows the adjusted scenario period. The second entry shows the time leftover from the original scenario period entry. To see the impact your change has on costs, delete the second entry.

Procedure

  1. On the Change Personnel Costs: Overview Organizational Unit/Cost Center screen, double click on the organizational unit or cost center you want to use.

  2. The system lists all the cost objects associated with the organizational unit or cost center selected.

  3. Locate the cost object for which you want to edit the scenario period

  4. For the desired object, to change the scenario period, enter dates in the Start date and End date columns.

  5. Press ENTER .

Result

The system creates two entries in the table. To delete the second entry, see Deleting Cost Objects
