Setting Filters for Dynamic Allocation Bases

The dynamic allocation method is based on changeable values. For example, the number of employees in a cost center or the items sold of a cost object in a specific time period. There are nine pre-defined allocation bases and twelve dynamic date ranges. You set different filters based on the allocation base.

Setting Filters for Dynamic Allocation Bases

The following table shows which filters are possible for different allocation bases and which values are valid in the No. Filter and Group Filter fields. Press F1 in the Date Filter Code field to read detailed descriptions.
