The cycle-segment method, which can also be used to define distributions,

assessments and indirect activity allocation, is discussed in more detail in the

course AC410.

Figure 29: Settlement: Overview

Overhead ordersareusually used asan interimcollector of costsand asanaid

totheplanning,monitoring,andreportingprocesses. Whenthetaskiscomplete,

the costs are passed on to their final destination (cost center, WBS element,

profitabilitysegment,andsoon). Thisprocessiscalledsettlement.

In settlement, some or all of the costs posted to an order are allocated to

one or more receivers. The offset postings, crediting the order, are generated

automatically. Youcanprocesssettlementfor individual orders or collectively

for a group of orders.

Thecostsgatheredonanordercanbesettledonavarietyofaccountassignment

objects, asillustratedabove. Settlement toanassetor General Ledger account

is an external settlement, because Financial Accounting is updated by the

settlement. Settlementtooneoftheremainingobjectsisaninternalsettlement

within Management Accounting.

You can settle statistically to a cost center, statistical order, or statistical WBS

element in addition to the actual receivers.

Order settlement is not mandatory.

must settle the orders in the correct sequence. To accomplish this, the system

determines a settlement hierarchy.

Costplanningisgenerallyperformedonorderswithlongdurations. Orderswhich

only exist for averyshort period, such as orders for unexpected small repairs,

are usually not planned.

Figure 43: Planning Profile for Overall Planning

Foroverallplanning,youneedtocreateaplanningprofile(notaplannerprofile)

and assign it to the order type. Of course you can use delivered standard SAP

profiles as well.

Within the profile you can specify the time horizon and whether you want to

plan on a yearly or overall basis.
