Cumulative and Iterative option selected for Assessment cycle

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We have created a Assessment cycle with Interative and Cumulative option. The reciver tracing factor are SKF's with Variable portions. We have entered SKF values in KB31N T.Code. We have then executed for first period Cycle run and the values were allocated correctly.

Sameway we have posted SKF for the second period and the when we are executing the Assessment cycle system picked the Cumulative values . After execution of Assessment cycle in update mode, we have observed that the Sender values is showing in negative values equal to the amount of First period posting.

*I would like to know if we can execute the cycle with Cumulative and Interative .*

Thanks

Hello All,

We have posted amounts in the month of January,2011 and Assessment is done. We have reversed the January Entry in the month of February along with February Transaction entries. After completion of Assessment cycle we have observed that there is a negative balance for January & February put together, January the Business transaction COIN values are zero. but the Assessment values of the sender cost center in the month of January were not reversed, hence balances were showing in negative values.

We are using both Iterative & Cumulative option for Assessment cycle.

Is there any other way to avoid this.

Thanks

hi..

> In cum assessment cycle sender amounts are cumulated from period 1 and posted to current period less the amounts for the perious periods.

In cum cycle sender rule will be "Posted amount" & Sender rule will be " Variable portion "

> Concept of itarative Sender & Receiver relationship is considered during process and it goes on till sender is fully credited.

Now if you find some negative value in sender equal to previous period pl check Receiver amount whether it is perfect or not . If perfect then system is doing rightly.

Hi

Yes, you can use cumulative option... But, I dont prefer to use it,as it enourages indiscipline in the organization

Logic of cumulative cycles: If you allocate period 1 expenses - Then post some expenses in the back date to period 1 - Such expenses will be allocated in Period 2 along with the own expense of period 2

This means, every time the system would calculate the Total amount to be allocated from Period 1 to N mnius Amount allocated till Period N-1... This figure would be posted when you allocated for Period N

thats the reason I dont prefer the cumulative option.. You should ideally execute CO cycles after all the expenses are accounted and posting in backdates is not a good practice...

I would personally recommend to remove the cumulative indicator
