The cost object category determines whether you must create this settlement rule manually (
manual account assignment
) or whether it is generated by the system automatically at the time of the first settlement (
settlement through material account determination
).
You only need to create settlement rules separately for each cost object node if you are using manual account assignment.
You define the cost object category in Customizing for
Product Cost Controlling
in
Cost Object Controlling
under
If you are settling with manual account assignment, you define the settlement rules for the individual nodes as follows:
Choose
.The screen
Product Cost by Period
appears.
Choose
The screen
Change Cost Object:
Initial Screen
appears.
Enter the cost object and choose
.The screen
Maintain Settlement Rule: Overview
appears.
Enter the account assignment category
SKT
and specify the number of the price difference account (such as 231000 expense to price differences) in the
Receiver
field.
You can distribute the cost of the sender object to each of the settlement receivers as a percentage or as equivalence numbers (proportionally). In the
Percentage
field, enter
100
. This settles 100% to the price difference account.
The settlement type for cost object hierarchies is always PER (periodic). The default value PER is normally already taken from the cost object profile.
You can use the entry fields
Valid from
and
Valid to
to limit the validity period of a settlement rule.
Save the settlement rule.
Note
If the
Variances
indicator in the settlement profile is selected, the system generates a second distribution rule for settlement of the variances to Profitability Analysis automatically on the basis of the settings in Customizing for
Product Cost Controlling
.
