hi,

Distribution: Distribution is an allocation method which uses the original cost element of the sendor cost center to the receiver cost center. Thus only primary cost can be allocated using distribution cycle.

Assessment is a method of allocation which allocates costs using

assessment cost element. Thus there in no traceability of original cost

elements on the receiver cost center from the sender cost center.

Various Costs elements from the sender are summarized under a single

assessment cost element. The assessment cost elements are updated

both on the sender and receiver.

We are allocating costs from purchasing department to the production

departments based on output of production departments. The output is

entered as statistical key figures.

if it is useful assign points

thanks and regards

Hi

Assesment where you do with secondary cost element created in controlling Module. And Distrubtion will be through Primary Cost Element.

Ex:- There is an event which is conducted in you company and the summary of the expenses if you want to distrubute that is done through Assesment and If you want to distrubute the Expenses with all individually like Electricity, Transport etc then you go wiht distrubtion. But to say Both the meaning is same.

Reward points if you find the solution to your Scrap

Hi,

The main difference between the two can be as follows

Distribution: This is performed only in case of Primary cost elements.

Assesment: This is done incase of Seconadry cost elements

You can also say in case of Distribution sender's account is credited with a lineitem hence more information is stored, which leads to low system perfomance.

In case of Assesment as aggregate ammount is processes it stores less information, which leads to high system perfomance
