Allocation Structure

[#1]

Dear Expert,

I’ve problem after run CJ88 the result show wrong GL.

the condition there is WBS Element create with sysem status REL AVAC STC , with settlement rule CAT G/L  with account 123456 as settlement receiver. I use Allocation structure for this scenario

The resul of CJ88 :

the correct jurnal should be :

1012000                52338020 (Dr)

5110098                52338020- (Cr)

Where does account 5110099 comes from ? how to check in allocation structure ? what meaning of Source and Settlement Cost Element in allocation structure ?

Thank you,

Hi Iwan,

Settlement process is controlled via Settlement Profile. You can see Settlement Profile in your Project.

Settlement Profile (among other thing) controls which Settlement Cost Elements are used in settlement.

You can use different Settlement Cost Elements to settle different costs posted to WBS.

For example costs associated with materials consumed into WBS can settle with Settlement Cost Element XXXXXX and costs associated with labour consumed into WBS can settle with Settlement Cost Element YYYYYY.

You make this assignment in Allocation Structure (which is assigned) to Settlement Profile.

Source in Allocation Structure groups together 'input' costs and then you assign Settlement Cost Element with which they should be settled (credit to WBS).

So in your case you must have two assignments in your Allocation Structure using two Settlement Cost Elements: 5110098 and 5110099.

Hi Iwan,

In your case two assignments are active as there are two Settlement Cost Elements.

In other words Costs debited to WBS fall into Sources assigned to two assignments.

If you want to check please follow:

SPRO -> Project System -> Costs -> Automatic and Periodic Allocations -> Settlement -> Settlement Profile -> Create Allocation Structure

Select your Allocation Structure Z1. From menu select Extras -> Overview list

It'll allow you to analyse allocation structure.

Put your cursor on the name of allocation structure. Press Expand button.

Then use search for cost element  5110099 to find out which assignment uses it.

Hi Iwan,

Based on your screenshots I can say that both are used during settlement.

There must be costs posted to WBS in question with cost element 1012000 (looks like settlement from another object to this WBS) and they are settled with  5110098 and also other costs posted with elements belonging to cost element group ZPRIMCOST1 and they are settled with cost element  5110099.

You need to analyse costs posted to this WBS element.

Szymon
