Former Member

Hello,

We have a scenario wherein certain costs like travel, communication should get allocated in copa based on Employee Cost...

This employee cost is getting transferred to copa through assessment in two stages  namely as Direct employee cost and Indirect Employee cost...

Now the requirement is based on Employee cost (i.e. Direct employee + Indirect employee cost) above said expenses like travel and communication should get allocated to say respective profit center.. please refer the attached working...

Is it possible to do allocation like this wherein based on one assessment cost value, which is taken as base for allocation of other costs...

Hope am making my requirement clear..

Thanks

Do you define direct and indirect employee costs as 2 separate value fields in COPA?

Hi,

So you mean that you have 1 value field for direct expenses and 1 value field for indirect expenses?

If this is the case there is not way (automated) I can think about for you to do an allocation based on costs that are already diluated in thes two value fields. Manual calculation and update of SKF could be an option.

But you could think of rethinking the way you allocate your costs. For example cycle 3 might come earlier in the process and allocate travel, communication into cost centers where you post the employee expenses. then you can allocate employee cost centers to COPA as direct/indirect.

Hi

Yes you can

You need to create a Key Figure which will sum total both these  Value fields in Copa.

You can then use this Key Figure as basis during allocation in copa

Hi Ajay,

You mean to say that skf created in kk01 can be used in copa assessment cycle...

I am under impression that only value fields in copa can be used for skf purpose...

Can you please elaborate..

thanks
