This activity is important if you perform an accrual calculation using the percentage method.
When the
overhead structure was created, a setting was made to determine which base cost elements the percentage overheads are calculated to. If you are using parallel valuation approaches/transfer prices, the valuation view of the base cost element also influences the level of the overhead rates.
The standard setting is for overhead rates to be calculated on the basis of the legal valuation view . In this activity, you can determine whether or not overhead rates are to be calculated on a different basis (profit center or group view) for the individual controlling areas.
The valuation view you choose will apply for all valuation approaches which you are using in the actual system. The system uses this valuation view, even if it differs to the valuation view in the individual valuation approaches.
If you make no entries here, the system calculates overhead rates on the basis of the the legal valuation view.
