CO Rule elements and assign function modules FOR GRANTS

[Former Member]

Hi to all,

We created a module function to derive the cost center and profit center by reading registration data during the fee calculation process.

By doing this we were able to reduce the number of SCs and the cost center derivation depends exclusively from an specific field of the registration.

Now, we are dealing with the GRANTS, we need to do the same thing, we need that when we are calculating the grants, before the grant document is created, to derive the cost center by using the same field of the registration that we used to derive the cost center to create the fee documents.

With this we are going to be able to use only one grant instead of one grant per SC.

For the fee calculation derivation we used as base the standard function CMAC_ACC_DERIVE_TOP_ORG to create our own function module, and we assigned this new function as a CO Rule and assign CO Rule element.

How can we create the same type of mechanism for the grants?

Example:

We would only have to create on grant for engineering and use different cost centers

Grant for engineering -

---

Cost center 16011010 (campus 1)

Grant for engineering -

---

Cost center 16021010 (campus 2)

We want to use the same GRANT instead of having to create one for each campus, more over because we have 15 campuses and 70 SC in each campus.

Thank you

Alvaro,

Ine thing that might help generate a good answer here is to provide more information on exactly what it is about each student that would cause you to post to one cost center vs. another, whenthey are registered in the same Program of Study, or receiving the same Grant (which is linked to a single Sponsor, or course).

Hi Michael,

I will try to explain our requirement better:

Let´s say we have a "Student A", who is registered to the SC "Math". When we did the fee calculation for this student, we ignored the cost center which is attached to the SC "Math" infotype and derived it from a Z table, the key to derived the cost center was a data in the registration which can tell us in which campus this student is registered. We need to do this beacause we have a cost center for math for campus 1, a cost center for math for campus 2, a cost center for math for campus 3. (all of them related to a business area). And only one SC.

Therefore all the student of the institution studying the SC "Math" are registered to the same SC (same ID).

About the Grants, want to know if we can create a general grant linked to a sponsor who sponsors all the math students.

The problem is that if we use the standard we will have to create a Math Grant with the same sponsor for each campus to be able to affect the cost center of math of each campus. In the master data of a grant you can input one cost center, one profit center, one business area.... (as you can do in the infotype of the SC)

We are wondering if we can use a CO Rule to derive with a own FM the cost center using only one grant. (based also on a similar z table)

Thanks
