Allocation of Planned Overhead
Use
Just as you can allocate overhead (cost center costs and process costs) for actual data, you can also transfer overhead for planning data to CO-PA by using assessment, indirect activity allocation, or template allocation.
Features
The functions for allocating overhead for planning data are generally the same as those for allocating overhead for actual data. For detailed information, see the sections for actual data dealing with
Periodic Overhead Allocation.Assessment and indirect activity allocation for planning data differs from that for actual data in that a cycle cannot be defined by the name and initial date alone. Instead, the sender version is also an essential part of the key for the cycle to run. This allows you to reuse the same cycle for different planned versions. All you need to do is simply change the sender version, without having to define a completely new cycle for each version.
