Single-dimension controlling procedure

You can use the single-dimension controlling-procedure to perform these functions:

  • Set up the actual data
  • Compare the actual data with the budgeted data
  • Integrate the actual rates and surcharges into CPR/PCS

The single dimension controlling-procedure facilitates:

  • Import and maintenance of actual performances from GLD and HRA
  • Import of actual costs from GLD and setting up the actual allocation relations
  • Calculation of the actual secondary costs during the iteration process
  • Integration of iteration results to CAT and GLD
  • Calculation of allowed costs and deviations
  • Posting of deviations to GLD
  • Reporting of the results

Master data setup for single dimension controlling procedure

To set up the master data, follow these steps:

  1. Access the Cost Accounting Parameters (tfcat0100s000) session, specify this information:
    • Date
    • Cost Accounting System
    • Contra Account for Cost Postings in GLD
    • Transaction Type for Operating Results
    • Transaction Type for Allocation Results
    • Integration of actual rates/surcharges into CPR and/or project surcharges to PCS Dimension Type for Activities
    • Allocation Rule Set
  2. Access the Cost Categories (tfcat0102m000) session to:
    1. specify the Cost Category
    2. click Import Ledger Accounts to link the ledger accounts
    3. click Import Parent Ledger Accounts, if there is parent-child hierarchy defined for the specific ledger account.
  3. Access the Ledger Accounts by Cost Category (tfcat0103m000) session to define ledger accounts that belong to a cost category.
    Note: A cost category can be used in the Allocation Relations (tfcat4500m000) session to limit the cost to be allocated.
  4. Specify a percentage, to indicate the amount that belongs to the cost category.
  5. Access the Integration Scheme for Variances (tfcat0504m000) session, specify this information:
    • Source Dimension Type
    • Source Dimension
    • Source for the Cost Portion for Statement of Operation Results
    • Contra (destination) accounts/dimensions to which the deviations and fixed costs must be posted
  6. Access the Integration Scheme for Hours (tfcat2521m000) session, define the integration relations with HRA. The integration relations are used in the Import Actual Performances (tfcat2220m000) session.
