Direct Administration Data

This Model Table function is used to provide data for the planning of direct administration costs.

The function defines the following fields:

• GL Account: You use this field to record revenues and costs at a granular level.

• Amount [TC]: You use this field to specify the amount in transaction currency that represents costs or revenues.

• Finance Source: This field can have different values since the relevant accounting data does not always come from one general ledger in some system landscapes.

• Scenario: This field can generally have a fixed value in this table since general ledger data is actual data.

• Functional Area: You use this field for segment reporting and drill-down. This field is also referred to as Business Segment.

• Currency [TC]: The transaction currency is the currency used in the sample content to calculate profitability. It is common practice to translate every amount into the same currency so that only one currency (controlling area currency) is used in the complete profitability model.

• Version: If you connect a real general ledger, you use this field to enter a fixed value. There is no variance because a general ledger provides only real data. You can use this field if versioned data is provided along with real general ledger data.
