Negative percentages for clearing cost categories

Use

The more categories you split your clearing group into, the greater the likelihood that one of those categories may have a negative balance. In former versions negative percentages triggered a hard error. Now a negative percentage is tolerated as long as the value is less than 100%.

Example

Maybe the clearing group of Fleet cost centers got overcharged for fuel for the first 11 months of the year, and a large credit adjustment was made in December. This credit adjustment may get categorized as Fleet Materials, and throw the balance of Fleet Materials into the negative range.

In principle there is no problem in calculating negative percentages in this case as long as they are relative small. To follow the example further, a $1000 Fleet charge in December may result in the following clearing amounts and percentages in a non-clearing cost center:

Clearing category	Amount	Percentage
Fleet Miscellaneous	$50	5
Fleet Labor	$900	90
Fleet Benefits	$100	10
Fleet Payroll Tax	$150	15
Fleet Materials	$200-	20-
Total	$1000	100

The numbers may look a little strange, but all $1000 does get cleared out, as do all of the categories within Fleet. Moreover, the over allocation of Materials in the earlier months has been adjusted in December, resulting in a more accurate distribution of Fleet Expenses to the corresponding regulatory accounts over the year.

Effects on Existing Data

Effects on System Administration

Effects on Customizing

A new parameter for the maximal negative percentage per clearing category has been added to the controlling area dependent parameters.

An error message will be triggered during the flow of cost trace analysis if the negative percentage for any clearing category is exceeding the value of this parameter. If you leave it empty then no negative percentage would be allowed at all. You receive a warning message for negative percentages smaller or equal to this tolerance level.
