PAPM Allocation function

[#1]

Dear all,

I am new to PAPM, I have to set up a business case where I have to allocate amounts from a group of profit center to several other profit center groups.

Can anyone tell me which Hana table I can use ?
I created a profit center hierarchy and several cost centers (my client doesn’t use profit centers for the imputations, but cost centers).

How can I allocate the costs from my group of profit centers (sender) to my receivers ?
my structure is as follow

Hierarchy A

Profit center hierarchy1

Profit center groupA : Receiver

Profit centerA

Cost center

Profit center groupB : Receiver

Profit centerB1

Cost center

Profit centerB2

Cost Center

Profit center groupC : Sender

Profit centerC

Cost center
I thought about creating model views on ACDOCA and hierarchy tables.

However, The fields are not the same between the two tables.

Can anyone help please,

Many thanks in adva

H Naima,

Good day.

When configuring an allocation function, you are not limited to only use Hana tables for your sender and receiver, instead, you may use model tables as your sender and receiver. you may follow this link on how to create a model table. (https://help.sap.com/viewer/56471df1959f4cfd9e3bf7a6d2d5be42/3.11/en-US/74e067f811f44d89b16b9f230cdb7633.html).

You may allocate records from the sender in two ways;

1. direct allocation - which allocates records from sender to receiver with the same characteristics and;

2. indirect allocation - which allocates records from sender according to distribution criteria.

For more information on the allocation function please follow the link below https://help.sap.com/viewer/56471df1959f4cfd9e3bf7a6d2d5be42/3.11/en-US/a243683a584544e0a4198654e6a3...

Hope this helps.

Thank you and best regards,
