Planned Settlement for Internal Orders

Use

In planned settlement, you can post plan costs that you planned on an internal order. You can post them to cost centers, business processes or to the Profitability Analysis.

Integration

On the cost center, after the planned settlement of internal orders, you can distribute the planned costs to activity types, using splitting.

For more information on splitting, see Cost Center Planning .

For more information on planned settlement for internal orders to the Profitability Analysis, see Planned Settlement of Orders .

Prerequisites

You can execute the planned settlement for internal orders if the internal order planning integration with Cost Center Accounting or Activity-Based Costing is activated. Additionally, the settlement rule for the internal order you want to settle, must contain at least one of the following rules:

PER rule (for period-related settlement of costs to a cost center).
PRE rule (for the previous period-related settlement to capital investment measures).

Features

You can execute a planned settlement for internal orders to cost centers, business processes and the Profitability Analysis.

You can only split the planned costs (settled from an internal order to a cost center or a business process) completely between activity types on a fixed basis. This is because settlement of costs to cost centers or business processes is always in dependent of activity.

Note Note

When you execute marginal costing and plan costs on an internal order proportionate to an activity type, you also need to plan these costs on the receiving cost center manually. Settlement is not possible within integrated planning.

You are planning the maintenance of a production plant on an internal order. The maintenance costs are proportional to the output of the plant. In this case, you do not activate integrated planning. You need to plan the maintenance costs manually on the receiver cost center.
