Define Update
for Results Analysis
In this step you specify for each
line ID the results analysis cost element under which the
results analysis data are updated. You make the following
assignments:
Asisgn each line ID to a category
Assign at least one results analysis cost
element to each combination of line ID and category
The apportioned values are upated on the order
under the cost elements that you specify here.
The
category groups the cost elements under which the various
postings are updated on the results analysis object into the following
categories:
- Costs relevant to inventory
- Costs for which reserves for complaints and
commissions are created
- Costs that are assigned directly to the cost
of sales
When you define the update rules, you must take
the following dependencies into account:
- If the indicator Split
creation/usage in the Extended Control of the
results analysis version is selected, the inventories and
reserves are updated to the results analysis object under separate cost
elements for each line ID depending on whether the inventories or reserves
were created or used.
- If the method of apportionment
Z (Apportionment numbers) in the Expert Mode of the valuation method
is selected, the results analysis data is apportioned according to
apportionment numbers.
In this case you
must enter the apportionment numbers here.
- If results analysis type L
(Results analysis using earned values) in the Expert Mode of the valuation
method is selected, you can perform results analysis on the basis of the
earned values in the PS System. To do this, specify the name of the field in
the WBS element that contains information on the
percentage of completion of the WBS element.
If you are using multiple
valuation views , the entries for the referenced operational
results analysis version are transferred to the referencing results analysis
version of the multiple valuation views when you save.
Requirements
- You must already have performed the following
steps:
Standard
Settings
If you are using a results analysis version
supplied in the standard system, you only need to enter results analysis cost
elements for the data to be calculated.
Actions
1. Decide
whether you want to define one update rule for all results analysis keys or a
separate update rule for each results analysis key.
- If you are using several results analysis
methods in parallel, you should define a separate update rule for each results
analysis key. This enables you to assign different line IDs depending on the
results analysis type defined in the results analysis method.
- If you are using only one results analysis
method, you can turn off the indicator Update/RA key
in the results analysis version. The update rule is then valid for all results
analysis keys.
2. Enter the
following:
- Results analysis key (if necessary according
to the results analysis version)
3. Enter the
following data for each line ID:
- Relevant results analysis cost
elements
- Apportionment numbers (if necessary according
to the method of apportionment)
- Earned values (if necessary according to the
results analysis type)
For the specified cost elements, you may have
to do the following:
- Define reports that display the results
analysis data according to your requirements.
- Define posting rules in which you assign the
inventory values (such as
capitalized costs and revenue in excess of billings) and the
reserves to the G/L accounts in Financial Accounting to which you want to
settle the inventories and reserves
- Define a PA transfer structure that contains
the cost elements for the cost of sales so that these values can be
transferred to Profitability Analysis.
