Template for Business Processes/Cost Centers
Definition
The template is a dynamic tool, which uses
functions, formulas and Boolean logic (true/false) to calculate values. It consists of a grid of columns and rows.Structure
You can choose between six row types. Depending on the row type you choose, the following columns are available for data entry.
|
Row Type |
Columns that can be edited |
|
Commentary row |
Description |
|
Process |
Name, object, activation condition, plan quantity factor variable (only SBP and SCD), plan quantity fixed, actual quantity factor variable (only SBP and SCD), actual quantity fixed |
|
Sub-Template |
Name, object, activation condition |
|
Cost center / activity type |
Name, object, activation condition, plan quantity factor variable (only SBP and SCD), plan quantity fixed, actual quantity factor variable (only SBP and SCD), actual quantity fixed |
|
Calculation row (process) |
Name, object, activation condition, plan quantity factor variable (only SBP and SCD), plan quantity fixed, actual quantity factor variable (only SBP and SCD), actual quantity fixed |
|
Calculation rows (cost centers/activity types) |
Name, object, activation condition, plan quantity factor variable (only SBP and SCD), plan quantity fixed, actual quantity factor variable (only SBP and SCD), actual quantity fixed |
You have the following entry and maintenance option for each column type.

Description |
Explanations |
|
Object |
Based on the row type, enter the sender object (such as business process). You can specify an object for the process or cost center/activity type row type, or the system can determine this when it evaluates one or more processes or cost center/activity types. For more information, see  Object Determination. |
|
Activation Requirements |
Determine the condition that activates the item. For the activation of a row, you can specify Active or Inactive as fixed values, or you can define a method, which returns Active or Inactive during evaluation. For more information, see Activation. |
|
Plan/Actual quantity factor (only environment SCD and SBP!) |
Factor for variable output quantity. Enter a factor in process or cost center/activity type rows. The planned output quantity of the receiver object is multiplied with the factor. The result is the sender output quantity. You can enter a constant value, or you can get the system to determine the appropriate value during valuation. For more information, see Quantity Determination. |
|
Plan quantity fixed/Actual quantity fixed |
Enter the consumption quantity in the process or cost center/activity type row types. You can enter a constant value, or you can get the system to determine the appropriate value during valuation. For more information, see Quantity Determination. |
If you choose the row type calculation row, the editor cannot be called up in the object columns.
Example
Template for allocation in business processes (environment SBP).
In the above example, the main process is at the end of the resource consumption chain, which goes up to process 3.
Whenever the HP process is used, processes 1, 2 and 3 are also used, as well as the cost center/activity type 1.
The following table clarifies the allocation relationships:
|
This process is used... |
...then this object is used.... |
...with a fixed quantity that is calculated with... |
...with a variable quantity that is calculated with... |
...all of which is set in template. |
|
Process HP (through receiver object) |
Process 1 |
formula 1 |
factor 0,5 |

|
Process 2 (through process HP) |
CCtr 1/Activity type 1 |
