| # Actual Costs by Reference Unit (tfcat2510m000) Use this session to view the actual costs that are imported from the General Ledger module by dimension/reference unit. Note If you have started this session by zooming, you can only find and select a record. Year The year in which the actual costs were incurred. Period The period in which the actual costs were incurred. Dimension Type The dimension type to which the actual costs belong. Dimension The dimension to which the actual costs apply. Reference Unit The reference unit to which the actual data applies. Ledger Account The ledger account to where the actual costs are imported. Debit / Credit The debit/credit indicator. Total Actual Costs The total actual costs for this period. The actual costs are displayed after you run the Import Actual Costs from GLD (tfcat2210m000) session. Before you import the actual costs, the actual performances must be imported or defined. Budget If the actual costs change, LN automatically calculates the allowed costs and deviations for the budget. For the other budgets, you can use the Derive Allowed Costs and Variances (tfcat2240m000) session. Variable The variable actual costs for this period for the relevant ledger account. Fixed The fixed actual costs for this period for the relevant ledger account. Variability % The relationship between the variable and the total costs expressed as a percentage. This relationship is automatically calculated as follows: (Actual Variable Costs / Total Actual Costs) x 100 Total The total actual rate/surcharge as calculated by LN. LN calculates the total actual rate/surcharge as follows: If the reference unit type is Quantity Based: `Total Actual Costs/ Performance Quantity` If the reference unit type is Amount Based: `100 x ( Total Actual Costs/ Surcharge Base Amount` Variable The variable actual rate/surcharge as calculated by LN. LN calculates the variable actual rate/surcharge as follows: If the reference unit type is Quantity Based: `Variable Actual Costs/ Performance Quantity` If the reference unit type is Amount Based: `100 x ( Variable Actual Costs/ Surcharge Base Amount` Fixed The fixed actual rate/surcharge as calculated by LN. Note LN calculates the fixed actual rate/surcharge as follows: If the reference unit type is Quantity Based: `Fixed Actual Costs/ Performance Quantity` If the reference unit type is Amount Based: `100 x ( Fixed Actual Costs/ Surcharge Base Amount` Note Amount Based is only applicable if the accounting system in the Cost Accounting Parameters (tfcat0100s000) session is Full Cost Accounting. Rates Valid If this check box is selected, LN has calculated rates/surcharges. Note LN can only calculate rates/surcharges if the actual performance is available. Example
The following is possible
Rate/surcharge | Value | Valid
Initial value | 0 | No (no actual performance available)
Computed | 0 | Yes
Computed | 34.5 | Yes
The rates are calculated only if the actual performance exists. Then, the rates are set to valid. |
