Periodic Rollup
Use
With the periodic rollup, data is only copied to the receiver system when the rollup function is initiated in the application. This can take place on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. The sender system selects the line items, summarizes them if desired, and sends them to the receiver system. The different ways in which senders and receivers can be related are more restricted than in
transaction-based distribution because a sender can only send to one specific receiver. Moreover, data transfer can only take place in one direction. Hence, if a rollup occurs from system A to system B, then system B cannot send any data to system A.Advantage |
Disadvantage |
Improved performance with the summarization option in the sender system |
Loss of information: It is no longer possible to find out which line items were sent to the receiver system. |
Integration
This function is only relevant for costing-based Profitability Analysis. Account-based Profitability Analysis always uses transaction-based distribution.
