Creating Receiver Tracing Factor for an
Allocation Segment
Use
You control determination of receiver tracing factors with receiver rules. You can choose between the following receiver rules:
· Variable portions: If you choose variable portions, these are used by the system as the tracing factor and allocated/distributed to the receiver.
· Fixed amounts: If you select fixed amounts, the receivers are debited directly with these amounts. The amount credited to the sender results from the total of receiver amounts. The rule for determination of sender values is not used in this instance. Also, posted sender amounts or created fixed sender amounts are not taken into consideration.
· Fixed percentages: If you select fixed percentages, you define fixed percentages for the receiver. The sender value is distributed to the receivers according to these percentages. The total of receiver tracing factors must not exceed 100%. The system assumes a sender tracing factor of 100%. If the total of receiver tracing factors is smaller than 100%, a part of the sender value remains with the sender.
· Fixed portions: If you select fixed portions, you define fixed portions for the receiver. The procedure is similar to fixed percentages. With this procedure, the sender is credited completely, unless you have defined a percentage residual value.
Prerequisites
You have chosen Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® General Ledger → Periodic Processing and then selected the allocation type. The General Ledger :Create <Allocation Type>: Header Data screen appears. You have chosen Attach Segment and are now in the General Ledger: Create <Allocation Type>: Segment screen.
Procedure
1. In the Segment header tab page, enter the required data (according to the sender rule you selected) under Receiver tracing factor.
a. Variable portions:
§ Select the Type of var. portions. The system controls how the receiver tracing factor of the respective allocation is determined.
§
Determine the scaling of negative tracing factors.
For more information, see Scaling of Negative
Tracing Factors.
b. Fixed amounts:
§ Enter the currency in which the receiver data is allocated/distributed.
§ For each receiver value defined in the allocation segment, enter the fixed amount to be allocated/distributed to this value.
c. Fixed percentage / fixed portion:
§
For each receiver value defined in the allocation
segment, enter the fixed percentage/portion to be allocated/distributed to the
value.
For the receiver rule Fixed Percentage, you cannot enter more than
100%; for the receiver rule Fixed Portion, you enter fixed
portions.
2. Make the required settings on the Receiver Tracing Factor tab page.
The dimensions are displayed that were defined in the IMG under Allocation for your table. For more information on the configuration, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for General Ledger Accounting (New) under Allocation.
3. Make the required settings under Receiver on the Sender/Receiver tab page.
4. You can use the following additional functions on this screen:
