Define PA Transfer Structure for Assessment

In this activity, you define a PA transfer structure for performing assessment.

If you want import the values posted to a cost center/process into different value fields by means of differentiation by cost element, you can use one of the following options:

You can set up a cycle with several segments. For this, you need to create a separate segment for each assignment of a cost element interval/cost element group to a value field.

You can set up a cycle with only one segment. For this, the assignment of cost elements to the respective value fields is defined via a PA transfer structure.

You can use the PA transfer structure to combine in a single segment different assignments of cost elements/cost element groups to value fields. Instead of a value field, you can enter the PA transfer structure when defining an assessment cycle in the segment header.

Notes:

You can only use a PA transfer system together with the "Posted values" sender rule.

Even when it is technically possible, via a joint maintenance dialog, to use PA transfer structures from different allocation types to perform the assessment, you should still define separate PA transfer structures.

Equally dependent on the joint maintenance dialog, there are some selection options within the maintenance functions for the PA transfer structure that do not apply to structures used exclusively in assessment. These options are discussed below under "Activities".

Activities

1. Create a PA transfer structure for assessment.

2. Decide how you want to divide the cost elements and define corresponding assignment lines. This division is then used to transfer the cost elements to the CO-PA value fields.

The indicator for quantity billed/delivered is not relevant for assessment and hence should not be activated.

3. For each assignment line, enter into the cost center/process the cost element(s) or the cost element that are to be assigned.

As the source, activate the "Costs/Revenues" option. Note that only costs are allocated during assessment, not revenues.

4. For each assignment line, enter the value field (or, if the cost elements are split into fixed and variable portions, both value fields) into which the entered costs are to be imported.
