For many cost centers, depending on the original cost elements posted in them, we have to allocate to different P&L lines (in COPA).
Sometimes it may be necessary to track these allocations with separate assessment cost elements.
This can be done creating several segments for each cost center or cost center group allocation.
But we may simplify this, using PA transfer structure to unify all the multiple allocation into a single segment.
With this, we may also adopt standardized assessment cycles for all companies, treating equally the allocation of cost elements and cost centers to CO/PA.
PA transfer structures have been customized using sub-groups from Rules - Cost element Group ZRCS-FC
Each sub-group is linked to specific KE30 value fields
For segments that need more than one assessment cost element, a specific Allocation structure was created, linking each cost element sub-group to its respective assessment cost element
The cost element (994299xx) used for posting the assessment in the cost center in each assessment cycle segment type was defined;
By informing in each segment the PA transfer structure and either an assessment cost element or an Allocation structure - WP1:
- We’ll have just one segment per cost center or cost center range / group;
- We will be able to split the amounts allocated into more than one assessment cost element, make it easier in the cost center to track how it was assessed.
- We eliminate the need to inform sender cost elements in the sender / receiver tab.
