CO Reports: Elimination of Internal Business Volume from Total Business for Cost Centers
Description
Until now, an elimination of internal business volume from total business for cost center reports was only possible if the cost center characteristic was used in the general selections of the report (active indicator "Elimination of internal business volume from total business" in the general selections). Thus, the internal business volume could not be displayed in a separate report line or report column.
This is possible in 3.0A through the implementation of the new characteristic BUEKZ. Report group 1BUE contains four standard reports which show how the new characteristic is used.
Please note that all reports were created with the Screen Painter report and can therefore only be displayed with this tool.
Reports 1BUE-001 and 1BUE-002 differ in the report definition but give identical reports. In the first case, the indicator "Elimination of internal business volume from total business" was activated; in the second case, the BUEKZ characteristic was restricted to SPACE in the general selections. In report 1BUE-003, the internal business volume is displayed in a separate column, in 1BUE-004 it is displayed in a separate row block, by cost element in each case. With Screen Painter you can create as many of your own evaluations as you want.
Necessary preliminary work
Report group 1BUE must be 
imported into the customer client.
Restrictions
The totalling logic of Report Writer is active even when you use the BUEKZ characteristic. Thus you cannot, for example, define a report displaying net costs in the rows for all cost centers and nodes of a group because they cannot be appended. Instead, the internal business volume is always determined by the highest group contained in the report (and is thus appended) However, this restriction only causes problems if the cost center characteristic is used in a row block.
Technical information
Both cost allocations, which are exclusively processed within Cost Center Accounting, and cost allocations via job orders are recognized as internal business volume. As a result, it is possible to write correction records when settling the orders in question to a cost center which simulate an exchange of services within Cost Center Accounting.
