Receiver business process BP1 is stored with sender processes BP2 and BP3 in template SBP1. Template SBP2 is assigned to each sender process. This template stores activity input ATYP1 from cost center CCTR1.

Receiver BP1 has a process quantity of 200 posted in plan. In Template SBP1 of receiver process GP1, Sender BP2 uses a fixed plan process quantity of 10 with a plan quantity factor of 0.5. Sender BP3 uses a fixed plan process quantity of 5 with a plan quantity factor of 0.7. In Template SBP2, ATYP1 uses a fixed plan process quantity of 30 with a plan quantity factor of 1.5.

Allocation of process quantities results in the calculation and allocation of the following: sender BP2: fixed period quantity 10 + Variable period quantity 100 (0.5 X 200); sender BP3: fixed period quantity 5 + Variable period quantity 140 (0.7 X 200); lan allocation to receiver BP1: process quantity of 110 scheduled for sender BP2 and process quantity of 145 scheduled for sender BP3.

Further allocation calculations result in senders BP2 and BP3 becoming receivers as well. The plan quantity of the sender process BP2 is not planned. The planned quantity of the sender process BP3 is 100. The allocation of the business process quantity is continued with the planned quantity instead of the scheduled quantities of the receiver process BP1 which are already calculated.

ATYP1: Fixed period quantity 30 + Variable period quantity 150 (1.5 X 100) allocates in plan to receivers BP2 and BP3

Because no process quantity exists in plan for BP2, the R/3 System uses the scheduled process quantity 110 from receiver BP1 (from the first allocation step).

This sets the plan quantity for BP2 equal to the scheduled process quantity of 110. Receiver BP2: Variable activity quantity 155 = Scheduled quantity 110 from BP1 X Plan quantity factor from ATYP1 (1.5 X 110)

Receiver BP3: Variable activity quantity 150 = Plan process quantity 100 X Plan quantity factor from ATYP1 (1.5 X 100)

An additional manual posting of a variable process quantity of 50 is made for receiver BP1. The previously posted debits from senders BP2 and BP3 remain untouched.
