Requirements for Indirect Activity Allocation

Use

You have carried out activity type planning for all category 3 activity types for all senders of the category cost center/activity type, if you are using the Posted quantities rule. Enter the plan sender activity quantities (activity category 3 manual entry , indirect allocation; allocation method 1) using activity type planning.

You enter the actual activity quantities of category 3 by choosing Non-allocable activity.

Note

You can only plan activity quantities using activity type planning for activity types of activity category 3. For activity types of category 2, this field is not ready-for-input in activity type planning. This is because the system determines the activity quantities inversely from the receiver tracing factors or using fixed quantities. In this case, the system automatically determines the corresponding planning record of cost center/activity type.

For category 2 activity types, choose Sender values in the segment definition to set a sender-specific weighting factor (not equal to zero) so that the system uses the appropriate record during indirect activity allocation.

Note

If you carry out indirect activity allocation without completing planning for the combination cost center/activity type, you must select the actual price indicator in the activity type master data if you want to use actual prices.
