Brief Description
This is a report for the simulation of future depreciation. The report date determines the future fiscal year, up to which the simulation should be carried out, or the fiscal year in which simulation to a given period should be carried out.
When the simulation is for a time period of less than one fiscal year (month, quarter, half year) then the report date specifies the fiscal year in which this simulation takes place. The simulation supplies values for all months, quarters, and half years up to and including the period in which the report date lies.
Parameter Mapping – Generic Tabs
There are several tabs under this section. Some will be generic, and others are specific to the component.
The generic tabs usually are:
- Target: Requires SAP and Client information. You can also hard code the SAP user name.
- Infrastructure: Used for Action rules. See Action Rules.
- Recipient parameters: Generally left to default values.
- Job output parameters: Defines the format of the required output. Defaults to RTX and Text. See Handling ABAP Programs for more information.
Most of the time these tabs will be shown, but there are components where these differ and either do not appear at all, or they are specific tabs.
Parameter Mapping – Specific Tabs
This guide shows the minimum parameter values required for the component to run. Refer to the Redwood Automation Engineering Training course for submission and monitoring activities.
| Tab | Technical Name | Description | Format A format can be assigned to a process definition. The format defines the type of output that the process generates or captures.
|
Mandatory Field | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variant | SEL_BUKRS | Company code (Sel) By default all Company codes are selected (>!<), but when you have not carried out the fiscal year change for all company codes, the report will error. Best practice is to specify the company codes which you would like to list. |
