IAC 01.01. Costing model validation << I create a budget assessment cycle >> SBS-OP-DRTR-02-003 - I check that Cost Centers are balanced_old
Guideline
Receive the Costing Model file completed by a FRA.
STEP 1
Open the template you received and go to the tab 
you can find :
- the list of direct production cost centers PPPP-1
- the list of fixed cost centers PPPP-1 & PPPP-2
- the allocation keys

For instance : the cost center 8035-2110 must be allocated as below :
| Receivers | % |
|---|---|
| 8035-1000 | 40 |
| 8035-1001 | 10 |
| 8035-1002 | 4 |
| 8035-1003 | 36 |
| 8035-1004 | 10 |

STEP 2
Costs from indirect cost centers are transferred to direct cost centers using assessment cycles and allocation structures that must be defined


An allocation structure is assigned to each group
For instance the allocation structure assigned to the group EPRD6X is CM
So it means that the cost center 8035-2100 must be settled using the allocation structure CM that replaces the secondary cost elements 99422300 for the fixed costs and 99423000 for the depreciation.
Allocation structure | To assess: | Cost elements |
CE | EPRD1X Maintenance | 99422200 Maintenance CNP 99423050 Maintenance AMO |
CF | EPRD2X Technical Assistance | 99422351 Technical assistance CNP 99423000 Depreciation indirect CC assessment |
CG | EPRD3X Quality ctrl & laborat. | 99422322 Laboratory CNP 99423000 Depreciation indirect CC assessment |
CH | EPRD4X Utilities | 99422400 Utilities CNP 99423003 Utilities AMO |
CI | EPRD51 Internal logistics | 99422604 Logistic CNP 94230000 Depreciation indirect CC assessment |
CJ | EPRD52 Functions | 99422397 Function Novecare CNP 99423090 Function Novecare AMO |
CK | EPRD54 HSE & Environment | 99422352 HSE & Environnement CNP 99423000 Depreciation indirect CC assessment |
CL | EPRD57 Quality | 99422334 QUALITY CNP 99423031 Quality AMO |
CM | EPRD56&EPRD6X Adm/Plant OCost | 99422300 Common Services CNP 99423000 Depreciation indirect CC assessment |
STEP 3
Review the allocation structure to be used for each cost center. In case of doubt you can contact the Regional Costing Manager

STEP 1
Use transaction code : KSU7
KSU7 - Create Plan Assessment Cycle : Initial Screen

STEP 2
Enter the cycle code (=PPPPBU => PPPP is the plant code)
and the starting date (1st day of the coming year) and ![]()

STEP 3
- Enter the validity date (to last day of the year)
- Enter the description of the cycle (PPPP Plant name - Budget)
- Check the Indicator "Iterative"
- Check the Field Groups "Object Currency"

STEP 4
Click 
STEP 5
Enter the segment code (cost center code) and description (cost center code & name)

STEP 6
Update the tab "Segment Header" :
- Enter the allocation structure or the assessment cost element if there is no allocation structure available
- Sender values:
- Sender rule = Posted amounts
- Share in % = 100 %
- Receiver tracing factor :
- Fixed percentage

STEP 7
Go to the tab "Senders/Receivers"

STEP 8
Update the tab "Senders/Receivers"
- Enter a cost center or a group of cost center (group in the standard hierarchy)
- Enter a group of cost element ZRCS-CNP (for fixed costs) or ZRCS-AMO (for depreciation). It is not necessary when an allocation structure is used
- Enter the receiving cost center or group of cost centers (PPPP-1)

STEP 9
Go to the tab "Sender Values"
Version = 0

STEP 10
Go to the tab "Receiver Tracing Factors"
=> Enter the allocation key per receiving cost center
Total = 100

STEP 11
Create a new segment by clicking ![]()
STEP 12
Save 
Once the cycle is created and the budget uploaded, you can run the cycle - I run budget cost centers cycles
