Template for Business Processes/Cost Centers 
Definition
The template is a dynamic tool, which uses functions , formulas and Boolean logic (true/false) to calculate values. It consists of a grid of columns and rows.
Create a template in environment SBP for allocations in business processes.
Create a template in environment SCI for allocations in cost centers.
Create a template in environment SCD for allocations in cost centers/activity types.
Structure
You can choose between six row types. Depending on the row type you choose, the following columns are available for data entry.
Row Type |
Columns that can be edited |
Commentary row |
Description |
Process |
Name, object, activation condition, plan quantity factor variable (only SBP and SCD), plan quantity fixed, actual quantity factor variable (only SBP and SCD), actual quantity fixed |
Sub-Template |
Name, object, activation condition |
Cost center / activity type |
Name, object, activation condition, plan quantity factor variable (only SBP and SCD), plan quantity fixed, actual quantity factor variable (only SBP and SCD), actual quantity fixed |
Calculation row (process) |
Name, object, activation condition, plan quantity factor variable (only SBP and SCD), plan quantity fixed, actual quantity factor variable (only SBP and SCD), actual quantity fixed |
Calculation rows (cost centers/activity types) |
Name, object, activation condition, plan quantity factor variable (only SBP and SCD), plan quantity fixed, actual quantity factor variable (only SBP and SCD), actual quantity fixed |
You have the following entry and maintenance option for each column type.

Description |
Explanations |
Object |
Based on the row type, enter the sender object (such as business process). You can specify an object for the process or cost center/activity type row type, or the system can determine this when it evaluates one or more processes or cost center/activity types. For more information, see Object Determination . |
Activation Requirements |
Determine the condition that activates the item. For the activation of a row, you can specify Active or Inactive as fixed values, or you can define a method, which returns Active or Inactive during evaluation. For more information, see Activation . |
Plan/Actual quantity factor (only environment SCD and SBP!) |
Factor for variable output quantity. Enter a factor in process or cost center/activity type rows. The planned output quantity of the receiver object is multiplied with the factor. The result is the sender output quantity. You can enter a constant value, or you can get the system to determine the appropriate value during valuation. For more information, see Quantity Determination . |
Plan quantity fixed/Actual quantity fixed |
Enter the consumption quantity in the process or cost center/activity type row types . You can enter a constant value, or you can get the system to determine the appropriate value during valuation. For more information, see Quantity Determination . |
If you choose the row type calculation row , the editor cannot be called up in the object columns.
Example
Template for allocation in business processes (environment SBP).
( )
In the above example, the main process is at the end of the resource consumption chain, which goes up to process 3.
Whenever the HP process is used, processes 1, 2 and 3 are also used, as well as the cost center/activity type 1.
The following table clarifies the allocation relationships:
This process is used... |
...then this object is used.... |
...with a fixed quantity that is calculated with... |
...with a variable quantity that is calculated with... |
...all of which is set in template. |
Process HP (through receiver object) |
Process 1 |
