Procedure documentationRevaluating at Actual Prices

Prerequisites

Before revaluating at actual prices, you should do the following:

  1. SAP recommends you to set the period lock for actual activity allocation (RKL).

  2. Set the period lock for actual indirect activity allocation (RKIL), so that you can carry out the following steps on solidly based costs. Should it still be necessary to carry out further activity allocations in Financial Accounting before settlement, you must carry out the following steps once again.

  3. Calculate the overheads if there are internal CO receivers with periodic settlement rules (PER rules). You cannot use percentage-based overhead calculation in this case for secondary cost elements.

  4. If there are CO internal receivers with PER rules, carry out CO internal settlement. The system settles all CO objects that have internal receivers.

  5. Carry out the splitting function.

  6. Calculate the price. The actual price is used for revaluation.

Procedure

  1. For revaluation at actual prices, choose the following:

    From:

    The following menu paths:

    Internal orders

    In Internal Orders, Start of the navigation path Actual postings Next navigation step Period-end closing Next navigation step Revaluation at actual prices Next navigation step Individual processing End of the navigation path or Collective processing

    Cost Object Controlling

    In period-end closing for the relevant object, Start of the navigation path Revaluation at actual prices Next navigation step Individual processing End of the navigation path or Collective processing

    Objects in the project system

    In the implementation area menu, Start of the navigation path Period-end closing Next navigation step Overheads Next navigation step Revaluation at actual prices Next navigation step Individual processing End of the navigation path or Collective processing

    Caution Caution

    When using the cost object hierarchy, ensure that you revaluate activities that were posted to cost object nodes in a cost object hierarchy before you distribute the actual costs posted to it.

    End of the caution.

  2. After revaluating at actual prices, do the following:

    1. If there are no CO internal receivers with PER rules, calculate the overhead. You can also calculate overhead for secondary cost elements.

    2. Set the period lock for revaluation (RKLN).

    3. Carry out settlement for all receivers. This is an important requirement, as it is the only way that you can pass on revaluation data from a revaluated CO object to further CO objects.

    4. Run any reports required. Your data is consistent again after the settlement.

Result

The system displays the revaluation results in a list. In addition to the selection criteria and the processing parameters, the list header contains the following data:

  • Processing status (test run, update run)

  • Number of messages

  • Number of selected objects, whose status does not permit revaluation (with an error message)

  • Number of processed objects

    Note Note

    There is no change to the debit, if

    • No activity was included

    • No actual price exists

    • The object was already valuated with the actual price

    • You cannot post to the cost center to be credited, due to its current status

    End of the note.
