Set Up Indirect
Allocation of Activities from Processes
The advantage of indirect activity allocation
over cost assessment is that you can allocate the entire activity based on the
activity quantity performed or one determined indirectly after valuating it
with a fixed and/or a variable price. For more information, see
Basic Concepts of Indirect Activity Allocation .
Activities
- To define indirect activity allocation,
perform the same steps as those described in Activity-Based Costing.
For more information, see

- Enter a suitable business process as the
sender object.
- Enter those profitability segments that you
want to be able to use as receivers of the allocation.
Prerequisites
- You must have a business process that uses
allocation category 02 or 03.
- The process must have plan data so that a
price can be found for valuating the process, or an actual price must have
been determined.
