| # Allocation Relation (tfcat4100s000) Use this session to maintain the allocation relation details. Relation The allocation relation data type that is applicable can be: actual or budgeted. Note The Budget Period relations are created after you enter a year budget relation and are deleted after you delete the corresponding year's budget relation. Period The year that the relation applies to. Default value The current financial year. Period The period to which the relation applies. Budget The budget that the relation applies to. Allowed values A single dimension budget that is not definitive. Default value The Actual Budget that is defined for the current financial company. Dimension Type The dimension type that will be credited. Destination Dimension Type The dimension type that will be debited. Dimension The dimension that will be credited. Allowed values A dimension with sublevel zero. Destination Dimension The dimension that will be debited. Allowed values A dimension with sublevel zero (0). Reference Unit The reference unit of the credited dimension. Allowed values If no reference units are linked to the source dimension the source reference unit can be skipped. Destination Reference Unit The reference unit of the debited dimension. Allowed values If no reference units are linked to the destination dimension the destination reference unit can be skipped. Ledg. A/C The source dimension's credited ledger account. Allowed values A Profit & Loss account with sublevel zero The Allocation Type field must be Secondary Credit Default value The first secondary-credit ledger account in the ledger account structure of this dimension. Destination Ledger Account The destination dimension's debited ledger account. Allowed values A Profit & Loss account with sublevel zero (0) The Allocation Type field must be Secondary Debit Default value The first secondary-debit ledger account in the ledger account structure of this dimension. Sequence No. The allocation relation number. By means of this number, you can create several allocation relations for one source/destination combination. Distribution The distribution by means of which the year budget will be distributed to the budget periods. Allocation Type The allocation type depends on the other chosen parameters of the source reference unit. You must use a uniform allocation type within combinations of relation, year, budget, period and source reference unit. Allowed values
Reference Unit Type | Quantity Based | Amount Based
Planning type | Retrograde | Progressive | Retrograde | Progressive
Quantity | yes | yes | no | no
Amount | no | yes | no | yes
Percentage | no | yes | no | yes
Quantity The quantity that is allocated to another dimension can be a part of The performance budget per year The performance budget per period The actual performance [ The quantity measurement unit that is defined for the source reference unit (if present). Amount The fixed amount that is debited to the destination dimension. This field only applies if the Allocation Type field is set to Amount. Percentage The percentage of the budget or actual costs that must be debited from the destination dimension. This field only applies if the Allocation Type field is set to Percentage. Periodic Distribution Percentage For the Budget Period relation and the Actual relation, this is the relationship between the period and year percentage or quantity. Period / year x 100 for example: 20% / 80% x 100 = 25% Valuation A valuation can be done based on actual or budget figures. Budget relations are always based on budget figures. Actual relations are based on actual figures, either from the Financial Budgeting System module or the Cost Accounting module. Valuated Portion The portion of the budget or costs that is allocated to the destination dimension. Cost Category The cost category by means of which the allocated quantity or percentage can be further distributed. Note For the valuation of the allocated quantity or percentage, only the amounts of those ledger accounts that belong to the entered cost category are taken into account. Related topics Using cost categories Allocation Costs The total account of secondary debit and primary accounts is the result of the valuated performance. These costs are calculated, after you enter a relation (preliminary calculation) and during the Process Cost Allocation (tfcat4210m000) session (exact calculation). Cost Rate / Surcharge The cost rate or surcharge per performance unit. For actual allocation relations a figure can only be entered if the valuation is chosen as for the actual figures. If the allocation type is Amount, the cost rate/surcharge is set to zero (0). Destination Variability The variable part of the budgeted or actual costs that are debited from the destination dimension. Costs definitive LN automatically enters this field, when the following conditions are met: An amount has been entered The actual allocation relations are valuated by the budget figures The Price Iteration session and Integration of Iteration Results sessions are started. This field indicates that an exact (not preliminary) calculation of the allocation costs. As long as the iteration results are not integrated, the costs can be changed.
