Consumption Rules (tfcat4504m000)
Use this session to list and maintain consumption rules.
Consumptions rules that are used to generate outgoing budget and actual allocation relations from a retrograde source are defined according to the defined rules. In activity-based costing, allocation relations, for example between process and cost objects, must reflect the conditions at the cost objects. To generate these allocation relations manually is a time-consuming process and therefore consumption rules have been created to make the generation process easier.
Example of a type of relation: Machine hours Machine costs
- 000 100.000
- 000 175.000
- 000 225.000
The following restrictions apply:
- The sublevel of the source and destination ledger-account must be zero
- The sublevel of the dimension must be zero
- The destination reference unit can only be left empty if no reference unit is linked to the destination dimension. The retrograde source reference unit can never be left empty
- The account type of the source and destination ledger account must be Profit & Loss, the allocation type must be secondary credit or secondary debit. The source and destination leder-account must be valid for the source and/or destination dimension
- The source reference unit-type must be Quantity Based with Retrograde planning-type
Field Information
- Allocation Rule Set
- Destination
-
The dimension type to be debited.
- Destination Dimension
-
The dimension to be debited.
- Destination Reference Unit
-
The reference unit of the debited dimension.
- Source
-
The dimension type to be credited.
- Source Dimension
-
The dimension to be credited.
Allowed values
A dimension with sublevel zero.
- Source Reference Unit
-
The reference unit of the credited dimension.
Allowed values
If no reference units are linked to the source dimension, the source reference unit can be skipped.
- Destination Performance Qty
-
The value until which a certain source performance quantity is applicable.
The quantity that is allocated to another dimension can be a part of:
- The performance budget per year
- The performance budget per period
- The actual performance
- Source Performance Qty
-
The number of source-performance units needed to produce the defined-destination performance quantity.
