The procedure of partial capitalization in SAP?

WACT

Accounting and IT guru,

What's the procedure of partial capitalization in SAP for capital projects?
How to set up the structure and write the settlement rules?

- The project will still move on after the capitalization. (WBS cannot be closed)
- The project cost will be allocated to many assets (also other way around)

Partial Capitalization

You use this processing type to partially capitalize an investment measure that is not technically completed, so that a part of the total cost to complete assets is settled.

For investment measures, the partial capitalization and the full settlement processing types are the same.



Full Settlement

Use this type of processing if a sender only contains distribution rules with the PER settlement type, and if a balance check is to be made after settlement (see example).



This type of processing is for example, useful for production cost collectors that only have one distribution rule with receiver material and the PER settlement type.



Example:



An order has a distribution rule:

100% to cost center one, PER settlement type



In period one, the order is

Debited with costs: + 1000.00

Settled           : - 1000.00



Then in period two, the order is

Debited with costs: + 2000.00

Period one is then debited with + 100.00



Then settlement for period two is started.

If you use processing type one to settle automatically, the system settles the costs from period two: 2000.00

If you use processing type eight to make a full settlement, the system settles the costs in the period, and then calculates the cumulated order balance up until the settlement period.



In this example, the balance is not zero, and the settlement issues an error message. Before settlement in period two, you can repeat settlement for period one, so that it is completely settled.



Note

Or you can give the sender a second distribution rule with the FUL settlement type also.



Example:



An order has two distribution rules:

100% to cost center one,  PER settlement type

100% to cost center one,  FUL settlement type



The system automatically makes a full settlement for processing type one also. The costs posted afterwards in period one are settled to the cost center, but in period two.

See also the documentation for the FUL settlement type. Activity allocations to the order, in particular, are treated differently during a settlement to the cost center.

O Project-Based Incoming Orders

Only the data from the project-based incoming orders can be settled to the profitability analysis.

The actual-distribution rule for the sender to the profitability segment is copied and used for the settlement.

Senders not relevant to settlement are listed in statistics under Not for settlement.
