Creating a Receiver Tracing Factor for a Segment

Use

You control determination of receiver tracing factors with receiver rules. You can choose between the following receiver rules:

Variable portions
Fixed amounts
Fixed percentages
Fixed portions

If you choose variable portions, these are used by the system as tracing factor and assessed/distributed to the receiver.

If you select fixed amounts, the receivers are debited directly with these amounts. The amount credited to the sender results from the total of receiver amounts. The rule for determination of sender values is not used in this instance. Also, posted sender amounts or created fixed sender amounts are not taken into consideration.

If you select fixed percentages, you define fixed percentages for the receiver. The sender value is distributed to the receivers according to these percentages. The total of receiver tracing factors must not exceed 100%. The system assumes a sender tracing factor of 100%. If the total of receiver tracing factors is smaller than 100%, a part of the sender value remains with the sender.

If you select fixed portions, you define fixed portions for the receiver. The procedure is similar to fixed percentages. With this procedure, the sender is credited completely, unless you have defined a percentage residual value.

Prerequisites

You chose Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® Special Purpose Ledger ® Periodic Processing and then selected the allocation type. The system displays the FI-SL: Create <Allocation Type>: Header Data screen. You selected Attach segment and are now on the FI-SL Create <Allocation Type>: Segment screen.

Procedure

Choose the Segment header tab page and enter the required data (according to the sender rule you selected) under Receiver tracing factor.

If you selected the variable portions receiver rule, you must:

Select the Type of var. portions. The system controls how the receiver tracing factor of the respective allocation is determined.

Determine scaling of negative tracing factors. For more information, see Scaling of Negative Tracing Factors

Select the Senders/receivers tab and enter the required data.

Choose the Receiver tracing factor tab and enter the required data.

The dimensions are displayed that were defined in the IMG under Allocation for your table. For more information about how your allocations software is configured, see the steps under Allocation in the FI-SL Implementation Guide (IMG).

If you selected the fixed amounts receiver rule, you must:

Currency in which the receiver data is assessed/distributed.
Enter a fixed amount to be assessed/distributed for each receiver value in the segment.

If you selected the fixed percentage/fixed portion receiver rule, you must:

For each receiver value defined for the segment, enter a fixed portion/percentage to be assessed/distributed to the value.

For the receiver rule fixed percentages, you cannot enter more than 100%.

For the receiver rule fixed portions, you enter fixed portions.
