Define Periodic Repostings

In this IMG activity, you define rules for creating clearing cost centers in the form of cycles with periodic reposting.
Postings relevant to cost accounting (such as telephone expenses) are collected on clearing cost centers. The postings collected are then reposted to the receiver cost centers at the period end. Telephone expenses, for example, are reposted to all the cost centers in the organization in proportion to the telephone units used by the receiver cost centers.

Activities

To create a cycle for the periodic reposting, proceed as follows:

1. Define a name for the cycle
2. Specify the validity period for the cycle
3. Maintain header data for the cycle by entering:
a) The currencies to be used for the allocation
b) Whether consumptions are to be allocated
c) Whether negative tracing factors should be scaled
d) Whether the cycle should be processed iteratively
4. Define segments for the cycle. You define the following information in the segments:
a) The sender cost element to be reposted
b) The criteria for distributing costs on the receiver
c) The sender objects
d) The receiver objects
5. Save the cycle

Notes for Transport

If, in your client, you have not selected the automatic recording of changes for client-specific objects (in Customizing under Basis Components -> System Administration -> Change and Transport System -> Configure Clients ), you can transport your settings to the target system in a user-defined activity.
To do this, in Customizing, choose Controlling -> General Controlling -> Production Start-Up Preparation -> Transport System Settings and then process the relevant activity.
