Understanding Activity Review

When you use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Advanced Cost Accounting system for activity-based costing, you use the cost management features to perform activity and process cost calculations. You can set up a calculation definition that indicates the type of calculation, the source of the balances, the driver (the basis of the balances), and the destination for the results. Additionally, if you have multitiered allocations, you can specify the sequence of calculations. When you coordinate all cost objects, drivers, and assignments by activity, you can review the resulting information, such as Cost Analyzer Balances, or each separate piece, such as the driver definition or cost object type.

Each assignment has an identifier and allows you to set up multiple configurations depending on your business objective. You can review the parent/child relationships, or hierarchies, of all processes and activities.
