Explanations |
Object |
Based on the specified row type, enter the object (such as business process). You can specify an object for the process or cost center/activity type row type, or the system can determine this when it evaluates one or more processes or cost center/activity types. For more information, see Object Determination. |
Quantity Plan/Actual |
Enter the consumption quantity in the process or cost center/activity type row types. You can enter a constant value, or you can get the system to determine the appropriate value during valuation. For more information, see Quantity Determination. |
Activation requirements Plan/Actual |
Determine the condition that activates the item. For the activation of a row, you can specify Active or Inactive as fixed values, or you can define a method, which returns Active or Inactive during evaluation. Ensure that the default value for the activation column is set to active. If you do not enter anything into the column, the system assumes the condition "active". For more information, see Activation. |
If you choose the row type calculation row, the editor cannot be called up in the object columns.
