Hierarchy Structure and the Effects on Values Displayed
The text which follows describes some special features in the hierarchy structure for commercial reports and their effect on how values are displayed.
Special Features in Assignment of Sales Order Items to WBS Elements
A number of sales order items are assigned to the same WBS element.
The WBS element is displayed in the sales order view, below the top sales order item. The revenues for the individual sales order items cannot be displayed separately.
The sales order item is assigned to a WBS element which is not a billing element.
The WBS element is displayed in the sales order view, below the sales order item. The billing element is not subordinate to either the sales order item or the WBS element in the hierarchy. As a result, the report does not show the revenues in the sales order item.
Special Features in Settlement and Elimination of Internal Business Volume
Regardless of the view chosen, note the following re settlement to receivers which are in the project hierarchy:
In settlement to the object directly superior in the hierarchy, the settlement is eliminated as internal business volume.
If you settle to an object several levels higher in the hierarchy, the values do not appear in the intervening levels. For this reason, we recommend that you do not use this form of settlement.
If you settle to an object lower down in the hierarchy, the values appear in the sender twice. Do not use this form of settlement.
If you settle to a receiver not assigned to the sender in the hierarchy, the values are not totaled up by the sender, only by the receiver. The values do not appear in the WBS superior to the sender.
If an account assignment superior to the sender is not selected, no elimination of internal business volume occurs and in the selected object, the updated actual costs including the settlement are displayed directly.
