Settlement by item

[adam_sobkowicz2]

hello

I have an activity with POrder, and with 3 invoices posted to this PO and in effect to the activity.

The invoices are posted with the same cost element.

Activity is assigned to WBS and settlement rule of activity is settle 100% of cost to WBS.

So when I settle by CJ88 my activity to WBS I get only one item on the WBS level.

eg

Before settlement

900001 0010

CE               Amount

4100015      1000 $

4100015      2000$

4100015      1500$

After settlement

900001 0010

CE               Amount

4100015      1000 $

4100015      2000$

4100015      1500$

4100015     -4500$

WBS level

4100015

4500$

Is there any option to have 3 items after settlement on the WBS level? Like below:

After settlement

900001 0010

CE               Amount

4100015      1000 $

4100015      2000$

4100015      1500$

4100015      -1000 $

4100015      -2000$

4100015      -1500

WBS level

4100015      1000 $

4100015      2000$

4100015      1500$

I agree with Paulo, you shouldn't use settlement to meet reporting requirements.  In fact, most reporting requirements want to see where the cost was initially incurred and not how it was moved from settlement.  Best practice is to use separate settlement cost elements different from the originating cost elements.

The standard PS report CN41N actually does an "elimination of internal business processes" in order to show where the costs first posted and not where they settled.

Hi Adam,

That looks like the solution in your head, but what is the reason to get it like that? 

Maybe you need a substitution instead of settlement to change account assignment from NWA to WBS...  or if you run settlement in background every hour (for example) it is likely to produce the result you are looking for.

But honestly I do not like any of these options, so what is the ultimate goal?

Thanks,

Paulo

The reason is to have item by item of invoices settled from NWA to WBS  without summation of costs by cost elements in the same period.

In effect I would like to have the same items on WBS which I had on NWA to create settlements for items in CJIC on WBS element.

Is it to decide in a manual mode what should be capitalized and what should not be settled to asset accounting?
