Former Member

Hello,

Can anyone kindly point me in the right direction or better still help me out on how to use PCM for cost allocation... A simple example would suffice ie using service costs from HR and allocating thses costs to lets say Sales Dept and Manufacturing Dept.

I am struggling with trying to create a view builder to capture the allocation...

Cheers

Hello, Victor

You have three RespCenters: HR, Sales and Manufactoring and you fullfiled LineItemValue grid

for all service costs on HR RespCenter.

For example you have one process in the model and it was assigned for each ResCenter (RespCenter/Activity Assignment)  and you use Direct Activity assignment or Resource drivers to allocate costs(LineItems) between activities. In this case ActivityLineItemValue grid shows correct values for HR RespCenter.

Reassignment configuration step:

Mark Reassign Activity attribute for each activity that you want to use in reassignment.

In Activity Reassignment Section choose HR and one process as source and Sales, Marketing and one existing activity as target. System required resource driver for this assignment too. Don`t forget about DriverSplit values.

Viewing results:

Create new grid based on ReassignInValue. Drag and drop to rows: HR Respcenter, Activity and Line items to _one_ Row (otherwise you may use same source selection in dimensiontree list)

At columns: Target RespCenter, Target Activity (check that you have dimension with prefix target in dimension list)
