Procedure documentationCreating Receiver Tracing Factors for Allocation Segments

 

You use receiver rules to control how receiver tracing factors are determined. You can choose between the following receiver rules:

  • Variable portions: If you choose variable portions, these are used by the system as the tracing factor and allocated/distributed to the receiver.

  • Fixed amounts: If you select fixed amounts, the receivers are debited directly with these amounts. The amount credited to the sender results from the total of receiver amounts. The rule for determining sender values is not used in this instance. Also, posted sender amounts or created fixed sender amounts are not taken into consideration.

  • Fixed percentages: If you select fixed percentages, you define fixed percentages for the receiver. The sender value is distributed to the receivers according to these percentages. Note that the total of receiver tracing factors must not exceed 100%. The system assumes a sender tracing factor of 100%. If the total of receiver tracing factors is smaller than 100%, a part of the sender value remains with the sender.

  • Fixed portions: If you select fixed portions, you define fixed portions for the receiver. The procedure is similar to fixed percentages. With this procedure, the sender is credited completely, unless you have defined a percentage residual value.

Prerequisites

Under Start of the navigation path Accounting Next navigation step Financial Accounting (New) Next navigation step General Ledger Next navigation step Periodic Processing End of the navigation path, you have specified the allocation type. The General Ledger: Create <Allocation Type>: Header Data screen appears. You have chosen Attach Segment and are now on the General Ledger: Create <Allocation Type>: Segment screen.

Procedure

  1. On the Segment Header tab, enter the required data (according to the receiver rule that you have selected) under Receiver Tracing Factor.

    1. Variable portions:

      • Select the type of variable portions. The system controls how the receiver tracing factor of the respective allocation is determined.

      • Specify the scaling of negative tracing factors. For more information, see Scaling of Negative Tracing Factors.

    2. Fixed amounts:

      • Enter the currency in which the receiver data is allocated/distributed.

      • For each receiver value defined in the allocation segment, enter the fixed amount to be allocated/distributed to this value.

    3. Fixed percentage / fixed portion:

      • For each receiver value defined in the allocation segment, enter the fixed percentage/portion to be allocated/distributed to the value. For the receiver rule Fixed Percentage, you cannot enter more than 100%; for the receiver rule Fixed Portion, you enter fixed portions.

  2. Make the required settings on the Receiver Tracing Factor tab.

    Note Note

    The dimensions are displayed that were defined for your table in the Customizing activity "Allocation". For more information on the configuration, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for General Ledger Accounting (New) under Allocation.

    End of the note.

  3. Make the required settings under Receiver on the Sender/Receiver tab.
