 Maintaining Overhead Structure Data Locate this document in the navigation structure

  1. To define the overhead method, choose:

  2.   Period-end closing   Single functions   Accrual   calculation   Extras   Settings   Percentage method,   or

      Planning   Planning aids   Accrual calculation   Extras   Settings   Percentage method  

  3. Using the overhead structure display for the given controlling area , you can maintain, create, or call up information on accrual calculations for selected objects.

  4. To do so, choose one of the following objects either by double-clicking on it or by choosing Goto from the menu:

    1. Base (basis for calculation)

    2. You specify the base cost elements that are to be assigned overhead per controlling area. Choose   Where-used list   Overhead structure   or   Controlling area to display whether and where the base cost element assignments exist.

    3. O/H rate (overhead rates)

    4. Determines plan and actual overhead rate percentages for each controlling area applying to a particular validity period. On the overhead list screen, the Assignments indicator shows whether individual overhead rates exist.

    5. Credit (credit objects)

    Determines credit objects ( cost centers or internal orders ) for each controlling area in a particular validity period and the relevant accrual cost element. The overview screen displays the credit objects that exist in the system, along with their credit keys.

    ( )

    The system displays the credit records as follows:

    - The company code is only displayed if it cannot be derived from the controlling area.

    - If, in Financial Accounting, you specified that financial statements are also to be created for business areas , you must also specify a business area for the credit object. In addition to the credit records, the system also displays the business area.

    Note that the credit object must be assigned to the company code and business area in question.

    - If the business area requirement is a partial one, or if no requirement exists, the screen display does not display the business area. You can maintain the credit records differentiated by business area in a further entry screen.

  5. To check the assignment of the current object (calculation base, overhead rate, or credit) and to display the assignments per controlling area, per overhead structure and the structures not used, when maintaining the above-mentioned accrual data, choose   Where-used list   Overhead structures   or Controlling area (see: Where-Used List for Accrual Calculations ).
