Procedure documentationChanging the Cutoff Period

Procedure

To define the cutoff period:

  1. Choose Start of the navigation path Accounting Next navigation step Controlling Next navigation step Product Cost Controlling Next navigation step Cost Object Controlling End of the navigation path.

  2. Choose the component in which you want to define the cutoff period, such as Start of the navigation path Product Cost by Period Next navigation step Period-End Closing Next navigation step Single Functions: Product Cost Collector End of the navigation path or Start of the navigation path Single Functions: Cost Object Hierarchy Next navigation step Work in Process End of the navigation path or Results Analysis Start of the navigation path Cutoff Period Next navigation step Change End of the navigation path.

    In Product Cost by Period and Product Cost by Order, choose Work in Process.

    In Product Cost by Sales Order, choose Start of the navigation path Single Functions Next navigation step Results Analysis End of the navigation path.

    In Product Cost by Period, choose whether you want to calculate WIP for product cost collectors or for objects (product cost collectors or manufacturing orders) assigned to a cost object hierarchy.

    The screen Change Cutoff Period: Initial Screen appears.

  3. Enter the results analysis version for which you want to define the cutoff period, and choose ENTER.

    The screen Change Cutoff Period appears.

  4. Enter the cutoff period.

  5. Save the cutoff period.

Result

The system changes the cutoff period in the results analysis version. You can view the results analysis version in Customizing for Cost Object Controlling.

When it calculates the work in process, the system does not overwrite the results analysis data that precedes the cutoff period.
