Set Control Parameters for Actual Data

Here you set all the control parameters for actual postings in Profit Center Accounting.

Prerequisites

• The current controlling area must be set.

• The settings for Profit Center Accounting must be maintained in the controlling area.

Activities

Enter the control parameters which should be valid beginning with the fiscal year entered:

• If the lock indicator is active, the controlling area is locked for actual postings in Profit Center Accounting. No changes can be made to the actual data.

• The online indicator controls whether or not data is posted to Profit Center Accounting simultaneously (by activity).

• The line item indicator determines whether actual line items are updated.

Further Notes

Note that the control parameters are valid beginning with the fiscal year specified. If the settings do not change for several consecutive years, you only need to make an entry for the first year.

Furthermore, note that once you have posted data in a given time frame, it is no longer possible to change the control parameters. If you want to change the parameters after transaction data has been created, you must delete the transaction data beforehand.
