Retroactive Element with Costing Type of Distributed Examples

These examples are of retroactive elements with a distributed costing type.

At Least One Segment Defined at Retroactive Distributed Element Eligibility Level

In this costing example, the flexfield that contains 4 segments, such as company, cost center, expenditure type, and project has a costing type of Distributed, has at least one segment defined at the retroactive distributed element eligibility level and has these costing entries:

	Retro Distributed Element Eligibility	Retro Distributed Element Eligibility	Distributed Element Eligibility	Set Member Retro Element Entry	Payroll	Element Eligibility of a Set Member	Department	Job	Original Element Entry
Company					01
Cost Center	300			400			100		300
Expenditure Type		50001	60001			60001
Project								123456	987654

Based on the above entries, the costing process determines these costing levels to build the cost account 01.400.50001.987654:

• Company is costed at Payroll level.

• Cost Center is costed at the Set Member Retro Element Entry level.

• Expenditure Type is costed at the Retro Distributed Element Eligibility level.

• Project is costed at the Original Element Entry level.

The priority account isn't actually part of the hierarchy. The retroactive distributed element eligibility takes highest priority in the above hierarchy. And, when the same segment is populated at higher level in the costing hierarchy with retroactive distributed element eligibility, then it's used in the costing process. For example,

1. Cost Center 100 is defined for the Set Member Department level.

2. Cost Center 400 is defined for the Set Member Retro Element Entry level.

3. Cost Center 400 is defined for the Retro Distributed Element Eligibility level.

4. The costing process uses 400 for the account number.

No Segment Defined at Retroactive Distributed Element Eligibility Level

In this costing example, the flexfield that contains 4 segments, such as company, cost center, expenditure type, and project has a costing type of Distributed, has no segment defined at the retroactive distributed element eligibility level and has these costing entries:

	Retro Distributed Element Eligibility	Retro Distributed Element Eligibility	Retro Set Member Element Eligibility	Set Member Retro Element Entry	Payroll	Element Eligibility of a Set Member	Department	Job	Original Element Entry
Company					01
Cost Center	300			400			100		300
Expenditure Type			70001			60001
Project								123456	987654

Based on the above entries, the costing process determines these costing levels to build the cost account 01.400.70001.987654:

• Company is costed at Payroll level.

• Cost Center is costed at the Set Member Retro Element Entry level.

• Expenditure Type is costed at the Retro Set Member Element Eligibility level.

• Project is costed at the Original Element Entry level.

The priority account isn't actually part of the hierarchy. The retroactive distributed element eligibility takes highest priority in the above hierarchy. And, when the same segment is populated at higher level in the costing hierarchy with retroactive distributed element eligibility, then it's used in the costing process. For example,

1. Cost Center 300 is defined for the Original Element Entrylevel.

2. Cost Center 100 is defined for the Department level.

3. Cost Center 400 is defined for the Set Member Retro Element Entry level.

4. Cost Center 300 is defined for the Retro Distributed Element Eligibility level.

5. The costing process uses 400 for the account number.
