 Defining Custom Dependencies

Use

In dependencies, you define the sequence in which the system accesses condition tables.

Example Example

You want to access the field sequence “Cost center/cost center category/controlling area”. This means, in the dependency, that the system first accesses table 26 (cost center), then table 58 (cost center category), and finally table 27 (controlling area).

You can use the Exclusive field to specify whether the system should access other tables once one table has been successfully processed.

End of the example.

Procedure

  1. In Cost Center Accounting, choose:

    Start of the navigation path Planning Next navigation step Planning aids Next navigation step Accrual calculation End of the navigation path or

    Start of the navigation path Period-end closing Next navigation step Single functions Next navigation step Accrual calculation End of the navigation path

    The system displays the Plan or Actual Accrual Calculation for Cost Centers screen.

  2. Start of the navigation path ChooseExtras Next navigation step Settings Next navigation step Percentage method. End of the navigation path

    The system displays the initial screen for maintaining cost center accrual calculation.

  3. Start of the navigation path ChooseExtras Next navigation step Settings Next navigation step Percentage method. End of the navigation path

    The system displays the Maintain CO-OM Accrual Calculation: Overhead Structure - Overview screen.

  4. To define your own dependencies, choose Start of the navigation path Environment Next navigation step Extras Next navigation step Dependencies. End of the navigation path

    The system displays the Change Access Sequences screen.

  5. In the navigation area, double-click on Access Sequences (= dependencies).

    1. Choose New entries .

    2. Enter a key and a name for the access sequence.

  6. Select a dependency and, in the navigation tree, double-click on Accesses (= condition tables).

    1. Choose New entries.

    2. Specify a consecutive number.

      This number controls the sequence with which the system accesses the individual tables.

    3. Enter the table to be accessed.

      Note Note

      Do not make an entry in the Conditions field.

      End of the note.

    4. To prevent the system from accessing further tables following successful processing, select the Exclusive indicator for the corresponding table.

      Note Note

      In the standard system, this indicator is always set for the first table.

      End of the note.

  7. Select a condition table and, in the navigation tree, double-click on Fields .

    1. The system enters data in the appropriate fields of the selected condition table.

    2. For each table field, enter a document field.

      To do so, select Field catalog and double-click on the document field(s) you require.

      Note Note

      The name of the table field is the same as that of the document field. The system proposes this name for the document field.

      End of the note.

  8. Save your entries.
