Offline Apportionments

INDEX

01. OVERVIEW

Resource principles
In the Offline Apportionments routine (CTBA270), the following information is available:

• Header data: Apportionment code (Automatic), Description, Type (Transactions in the Month or Accrued Balance), Base Percentage, and Blocked.
• Source data: Accounting entities used for making up the balance to be apportioned.
• Line item data: Accounting entities used in the line item of the apportionment entry to be generated.
• Target data: Accounting entities, percentages and values that will be used to generate the apportionment entries.

In the Apportionment Group, the types of apportionment will be used to define the information in this record, as follows:

• Source type apportionment:

This data defines the number of apportionment records to be generated and which make up entities that determine the balance to be apportioned.As one (1) offline apportionment record is required for each source, an apportionment record will be generated for each combination of the source type apportionment group.

• Target type apportionment:

This data defines the entry rows of the offline apportionment.Through the combination of target-type record, for each accounting entity, the number of detail rows, accounting entities used, and their respective apportionment percentages will be defined.
 

• Apportionments of the same type

The combination of apportionments of the same type generates an entity matrix whose structure will be the Cartesian product of the combination between the individual entities of each group.

02. EXAMPLE

1. To register the Offline Apportionment (CTBA270), go to: Management Accounting> Updates> Apportionments> Offline Apportionments>Offline Apportionment

In this example, we use only one entity.

All source entities can be combined by registering the apportionment: Ledger Account, Cost Center, Accounting Item, Value Class, and Additional Entities.

To add the Offline Apportionment (CTBA280) or Offline Apportionment Combinations (CTBA281), the CTQ table (Offline Apportionment) must contain the key of combinations of source entities, that is, from where it will extract the balance of the CQ Tables.

Source: This indicates the account to be apportioned

2. Parameterization of the Offline Apportionment routine (CTBA280)

Reference Date - The apportionment accounting entries will be generated with the date you specify in this parameter.

Group of characteristics group of the apportionment accounting entry - In these parameters, the user indicates the characteristics that the generated apportionment entries will have.

Batch Number?

Sub-batch Number?

Document Number?

Default Hist. Cd? The user must have a default history record as a precondition to use this parameter.

Apportionment Record - This allows you to indicate which apportionment records will be used.

From Apportionment?|To Apportionment? 

Currency Group  
Currencies? (All|Specific)

All - The apportionment journal entries will be generated for all currencies.

Specific - The apportionment accounting entries will be for a currency chosen in the 'Which Currency?' parameter.

Which Currency? Currency for generating the apportionment accounting entries if you selected the previous parameter Currencies = Specific.
Balance Type? Balance type of the apportionment accounting entries.
Select Branches (Yes|No) Branch from? | Branch to?

Update Balance? (At End | During)

At End - Performs balance reprocessing (CTBA190) after generating the apportionment entries in the current branch.

During - Updates the balances of the accounting entries during the apportionment processing.

Notes

• The Offline Apportionment routine (CTBA280) does not control runs in a given period. If you perform n runs in a period, the routine will generate the apportionment entries for each run.
• The apportionments are performed by the entity's balances in the CQ tables, not by the entry made in CT2. 
• If the apportionment record considers the 'Type = Monthly Transaction', the apportionment will be made over the entity's balance in the month of the reference date.
• If the apportionment record considers the 'Type = Monthly Balance', the apportionment will be made over the entity's balance in the month of the reference date.

3. Perform the Offline Apportionment (CTBA280) or Offline Apportionment Combinations (CTBA281):

Example:

The precondition is that the source account has a balance in the QC tables. After the apportionment processes (CTBA280 or CTBA281) are run, the postings are generated.
