  1. To define the overhead method, choose:

    2. Period-end closing ® Single functions ® Accrual calculation ® Extras ® Settings ® Percentage method, or

    Planning ® Planning aids ® Accrual calculation ® Extras ® Settings ® Percentage method

  2. Using the overhead structure display for the given controlling area, you can maintain, create, or call up information on accrual calculations for selected objects.

    3. To do so, choose one of the following objects either by double-clicking on it or by choosing Goto from the menu:

    1. Base (basis for calculation)

      2. You specify the base cost elements that are to be assigned overhead per controlling area. Choose Where-used list ® Overhead structure or Controlling area to display whether and where the base cost element assignments exist.

    2. O/H rate (overhead rates)

      3. Determines plan and actual overhead rate percentages for each controlling area applying to a particular validity period. On the overhead list screen, the Assignments indicator shows whether individual overhead rates exist.

    3. Credit (credit objects)

    Determines credit objects ( cost centers or internal orders) for each controlling area in a particular validity period and the relevant accrual cost element. The overview screen displays the credit objects that exist in the system, along with their credit keys.

    Note

    The system displays the credit records as follows:

    - The company code is only displayed if it cannot be derived from the controlling area.

    - If, in Financial Accounting, you specified that financial statements are also to be created for business areas, you must also specify a business area for the credit object. In addition to the credit records, the system also displays the business area.

    Note that the credit object must be assigned to the company code and business area in question.

    - If the business area requirement is a partial one, or if no requirement exists, the screen display does not display the business area. You can maintain the credit records differentiated by business area in a further entry screen.

  3. To check the assignment of the current object (calculation base, overhead rate, or credit) and to display the assignments per controlling area, per overhead structure and the structures not used, when maintaining the above-mentioned accrual data, choose Where-used list ® Overhead structures or Controlling area (see: Where-Used List for Accrual Calculations).

    4. Caution

    You can change assignments only in Customizing. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) under Controlling ® Cost Center Accounting and the sections:

    - Planning ® Planning Aids ® Accrual Calculation ® Percentage Method ® Maintain Overhead Structure.

    - Actual Postings ® Period-End Closing ® Accrual Calculation ® Percentage Method ® Maintain Overhead Structure.

  4. Save your entries.
