Calculation OfficesA calculation office is a work center that determines the enterprise unit for a PCS project or production order. The enterprise unit is linked to a financial company, which is financially responsible for a project or production order. Projects and production orders are always linked to a calculation office, so that LN can book the costs and production results of the production order or project to the financial company. Note Work centers and warehouses can belong to enterprise units other than the one linked to the calculation office. The financial transactions of the work centers and warehouses are posted to the financial companies of their own enterprise units. Defining a calculation office
Calculation offices for production orders On a production order's calculation office, LN posts material costs, operation costs, surcharges, and subcontracting costs. The calculation office that you define in the Default Production Order Data (tisfc0102m000) session is the default calculation office for a production order. You can change the calculation office for a specific production order on the Costing tab in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) details session. Calculation offices for PCS projects On a PCS project's calculation office, LN posts non-item project costs, such as project surcharges, hours posted on activities, and general project costs. Furthermore, the PCS project's calculation office is used to aggregate the total costs and revenues of the project. If you define a project in the Projects (tipcs2101m000) session, you can select a calculation office for the project in the Calculation Office field. Default calculation office for PCS projects If you generate a PCS project on a sales order or service order, a calculation office for the PCS project can be defaulted in three ways, dependent on the value in the Enterprise Unit for calc.off. used from field in the Project Control Parameters (tipcs0100m000) session:
Note If you do not specify a calculation office for an enterprise unit, LN uses the calculation office based on the order series.
