Definition

Costing scenarios are subdivided into separate scenario groups. A scenario group is a self-contained calculation that covers a specific area of your company, for example, the Manufacturing division or the Sales department.

 

Use

You select which areas are included in each scenario group by choosing certain organizational units, when you start the scenario. You can include any number of organizational units in each scenario group.

You must also decide how many scenario groups you want to include in your scenarios. Every scenario must include at least one scenario group.

If you do not want separate calculations for different areas of your company, your scenarios can include just one scenario group for the entire company.

If you prefer to separate calculations for different areas, you should set up multiple scenario groups. Multiple scenario groups are particularly useful, if your company decentralizes cost planning, and plans to transfer personnel costing scenarios to CO.

However, you cannot combine calculations from different scenario groups into one consolidated calculation, for the entire scenario. If you require overall totals, you should create only one scenario group. Alternatively, you can set up two different scenarios — one subdivided into multiple scenario groups and the other with only one scenario group.

Note

You can combine calculations from different scenario groups into one consolidated calculation, but only if you work with the display feature in scenario administration. No editing is possible.

You can assign passwords to scenario groups, if you want to restrict access to the scenario groups.
