Creating Header Data for an Allocation Cycle 

Use

The information that you enter in the cycle header applies to every segment that you create for the cycle.

Procedure

  1. On the FI-SL: Create <Allocation Type>: Header Data screen, enter the following data:

    2. – End date for the allocation cycle

    – Description for the allocation cycle. This description appears when you execute the allocation.

  2. In the Indicators group box:

    3. – Deselect Iterative if you do not want to process the allocation cycle iteratively.

    – Select the Cumulative indicator if you want to process the allocation cycle as a cumulative allocation.

    You can find more information under Iterative Processing of Allocation Cycles.

  3. Select the field groups to be used in the cycle:

    4. – Select Actual quantities, if you want to allocate amounts and quantities.

    – Select Act. tr., if you want to allocate transaction currency. If you do not set this indicator, the system uses the second or third currency (depending on your system configuration) and writes it as transaction currency to the sender(s) and receiver(s) data records. This reduces the number of records stored on the database, since the system does not take into consideration the different transaction currencies.

  4. Enter the selection criteria in the Preset selection criteria group box.

    5. The selection criteria fields that appear depend on the system structures you have defined for allocations in Customizing for Special Purpose Ledger. The values you enter in these fields are valid for all senders and receivers in all segments (unless specified in the segment definition).

    Enter the company code or the company: The allocation does not work company code/company independent.
