Internal Costing Parameters

Internal Costing Parameters (ICP) supplies a set of input parameters into the Internal Costing system process for selection and output. Separate records can be created with each instance of the system process or updates can be made to existing parameter records that are reused.

Field InformationField Information

The following table contains a list of the fields in groups with the first being those that apply to selection then output.

Field Name	Description
Parameter ID	The system assigns a unique ID to each record added.
Usage From Usage To	Two optional selection criteria that are used to select a date range of Internal Costing Journal records by using the fields on the journal by the same names.
Selection Department	An optional selection parameter to select a set of records from the Internal Costing Journal based on Department. Please note that is not the Internal Costing Transaction Department.
Selection Fiscal Year Selection Accounting Period Selection Budget Fiscal Year	Three optional selection criteria that are used to select a range of Internal Costing Journal records using one or more of those date criteria supplied on the Internal Costing Transaction. Please note that if Accounting Period is used Fiscal Year should also be supplied, else the system will take the current fiscal year and subtract 1 to default the Selection Fiscal Year.
Summary Type	One of two valid values must be specified: Detailed will result in one output buyer accounting line for each selected Internal Costing Journal record. If seller lines are to be generated, a single seller line will also be created to match each buyer line. Summarized will result in the summarization of all Internal Costing Journal records that have identical combinations of chart of account elements into one output accounting line. Seller lines will also be summarized.
Transaction Code Transaction Department Transaction Unit Transaction Prefix	Four output parameters used to create the transactions in the Charge Transaction Type for internal costs; of the four, the Code and Department fields are required. A matching Automatic Transaction Numbering reference page record must exist to match the Code, Department and Prefix (note **** does not have to be entered as a prefix here).
Buyer Event Type	When the Default Event Type for the output Transaction Code entered, as seen on the Transaction Control reference page, is not the desired event type for buyer accounting lines, this field supplies an alternative event type. Seller accounting line event types will come from Internal Vendor Accounting Data records.
Output Fiscal Year Output Accounting Period Output Budget Fiscal Year	When the defaulting values for the date the transactions are generated are not desired, these parameters are used to supply alternative values.
