Definition
Receiver of the costs which arise from the processing of an order.
The receiver of the costs is identified by the receiver category (for example, "cost center") and the receiver key (for example, "511").
Use
The receiver types that can be used include:
Fixed asset
Cost center
Material
You can settle the costs to a fixed asset and thereby increase its value. For this, you must specify a reference date in the settlement rule.
The fixed asset might be the one to which all the objects assigned to the order belong.
Cost Center
You can settle the costs to the cost center of the reference object. However, you can also settle the costs to another cost center, which you
enter individually.
Work Breakdown Structure Element
You can settle the costs for funds management and project planning for maintenance tasks or special activities to a work breakdown
structure element.
Order
You can settle the costs from several orders to another order.
For example, you can then settle the costs from individual orders, which have been collected on these orders themselves, collectively to the
required order. The receiver order might be a collective payment order for particular activities that are only settled at the end of the year.
G/L Account
You can settle the costs to a G/L account.
The account may be one to which costs to be activated are posted if you do not use SAP Asset Accounting.
Material
You can settle the collected costs from refurbishment orders to the material to be refurbished. Depending on the settings in Customizing,
the settlement rule is either generated when the order is released or when the order is completed. The order can only be settled after the
settlement rule has been generated.
The order is credited after the refurbished material has been returned to the warehouse. The order balance is subsequently settled to the
material account according to the current price.
If you want some of the costs to go into the costs settlement, then you can change the distribution rule manually for these costs.
Note
You can test particular settlements to find out which type of settlement is most suitable for you. To simulate depreciation for an order,
choose the tab page
Investment
in the investment order and then
Depreciation simulation
. The system saves the data from
the depreciation simulation. The order subsequently receives a corresponding status.
As soon as the fixed asset is completed, you can create and process your data from the order. In the case of full settlement, the system
posts the values that were originally on the AuC to the completed fixed asset.
