SAP S/4HANA Controlling Direct Activity Allocation * Indirect internal activity allocation, the activity output is measured, entered, and assigned. To do so, you Must create the corresponding measurable tracing factors (units of measure for cost occurrence) in the SAP system which are known as activity types. * Actiyity allocation starts through the confirmation of work operations o recording activity data, Thereupon the SAP system multiplies the resulting activity by the price rate defined for the activity type * Ifthe receiver ofthe activity allocation isnot a cost object (or example, cast center, business process or internal order) and no manually set price exists, then the plan price is used *+ If you do not make iterative price calculations, the SAP system uses the manually-set price of the activity type or business process for direct activity allocation; that is, the price of the version plan/actual (000). * Ifthe receiver of the activity allocation isa cost object (or example, production order ora product cost collector), then the prices used in the valuation are determined based on the valuation variant. In this case, the valuation variant is linked to the cost object through the costing variant for the simultaneous costing + Ifthe receiving cost object is not tied with a costing variant for the simultaneous costing, then the planned price for the period is used for the valuation + The following tables are updated in SAPS/4HANA Finance through activity allocation ie, COBK, COEP and aDirect Activity Allocation -

Allocation Cycles * Allocation cycles are defined if you want to perform an assessment or a distribution * These allocate the activities or cost to different cost objects where they are originally belonged to * Every cycle consists of one or more allocation segments * Within each allocation segment, you define the sender and receiver for the allocation segment, as well as the allocation rules * You can define several cycles that are then processed by the system in the order in which they were entered * The system ensures that a cycle is processed in full before the next cycle is carried out * Allocation cycles are created in Display IMG screen and are executed in SAP Easy access screen as one of the periodic activitiesIndirect Activity Allocation -
