Create Actual Assessment Cycle

Title: Create Actual Assessment 11/12/07 (via KSU5) Functional Area : Finance Process : Controlling
Work Instruction Create Actual Assessment 11/12/07 (via KSU5) KSU1
Purpose Use this Assessment transaction, to create a cycle to be executed typically at the end of a month (and at year-end), for the allocation of costs incurred by one or more cost center/s to many other cost centers. As an example, Financial Reporting would use this cycle to assess wireless service costs to schools and departments. Important Note: Since the basis of charging out costs to various Receivers could be different (e.g. Long distance phone costs Actual; Other telephone costs based on number of phones at say $20 per phone, each month), Assessment Cycles are also created differently to meet these specific cost distribution needs. Trigger Perform this transaction and related steps when there is a chargeback/cost allocation to be carried out from one or more Sender Cost Center/s to many Receiver cost centers. Prerequisites Master data used in the creation of the assessment cycle, such as Cost Centers, Orders, Functional Areas, Statistical Key Figures, etc., must exist. Menu Path You cannot directly go the KSU1 transaction. Therefore use the following menu path(s) to begin this transaction:

Select SAP menu Accounting Controlling Cost Center Accounting Single Functions Allocations KSU5 Assessment Closing In the KSU5 main screen select Extras Cycle Create or Shift+F5.
Period End
Transaction Code KSU1 Helpful Hints From within T-code KSU5 (Execute Assessment), it is possible to access following related T-codes: KSU1 Create Assessment Cycles, KSU2 Change Assessment Cycles, KSU3 Display Assessment Cycles, and KSU4 - Delete Assessment. Note: No menu path is available for this transaction; therefore, you can also access it by entering KSU1 in the command field.
