Figure 42 Creating an Assessment Cycle

You need to attach segments to every assessment cycle header. The segments determine which data is transferred to Profitability Analysis in which way. Create a segment by selecting the Attach Segment button.

Every segment has four tabs. The first tab is Segment Header, in which you determine the sender as either a secondary cost element of cost element category 42 (Assessment CElem) or an allocation structure (Alloc. Structure). In Figure 43 the secondary cost element 942200 Assessment CO-PA was assigned as sender. With an allocation structure, you can assess cost elements with different secondary assessment cost elements. You can create an allocation structure by following the IMG path Controlling • Profitability Analysis • Flows of Actual Values • Transfer of Overhead • Assess Cost Center Costs/Process Costs • Define Allocation Structure.

In addition to the sender, you need to assign a receiver to the segment header. In costing-based Profitability Analysis, the receiver is a value field. You can maintain different value fields for fixed and variable costs. In Figure 43, VWGK Admin. Overhead was assigned for both the fixed (Fixed Value Field) and the variable (Val. Fld Var. Cst) values. If you’re working with an allocation structure, you need to maintain a Profitability Analysis transfer structure (PA Transfer Struct.). In the Profitability Analysis transfer structure, a value field per source assessment cost element is assigned. You also can assign different value fields for fixed and variable cost portions. We recommend that you keep the assignment line structure of the allocation structure and the Profitability Analysis transfer structure in parallel to ensure a correct assessment of the cost on the cost center.
