Defining Sender and Receiver Types for Allocations

Use

For each allocation method, you can determine in the cycle definition which sender and receiver types are ready for entry. You define this selection during Customizing for the given allocation.

Data control is controlling-area dependent and distinguishes between plan and actual.

You change field attributes by specifying:

Which tables fields should be active for the given allocation
Whether you can enter individual values, intervals, or groups in the fields

Actions

To define sender or receiver types for the given allocation in the plan, see the Implementation Guide under Controlling ® Cost Center Accounting ® Planning in the following sections:

Define Sender/Receiver Types for Periodic Reposting

Define Receiver Types for Distribution

Define Receiver Types for Assessment

Define Sender/Receiver Types for Indirect Activity Allocation

To define sender or receiver types for the given allocation in the actual, see the Implementation Guide under Controlling ® Cost Center Accounting ® Actual Postings ® Period Closing in the following sections:

Define Sender/Receiver Types for Periodic Reposting

Define Receiver Types for Distribution

Define Receiver Types for Assessment

Define Sender/Receiver Types for Indirect Activity Allocation

Caution

If you change the field attributes for a field that is already used in cycles:

The system deletes the corresponding data records from the table when you change individual values, groups and intervals with To-values.
The system deletes the To value when you change intervals with From values.

Example

You are using assessment to cost centers and want to use only cost center groups as the receivers.

Select Cost center from the table field and deselect Individual value and Interval. The R/3 System displays only Cost center group as ready for entry during assessment cycle definition for the receivers.
