Physical Movements Flow

Note

This table is for the exclusive use of companies that have set up Controlling.

The flow of physical movements allows interaction with the movements loaded in the first note of physical movements, enabling them to be replicated or converted by applying a multiplier or a percentage.

Specific Fields​

  • the Code of the flow

  • the Description of the flow

  • the Area of reference

  • the Cost center to search for the quantitative data to be managed

  • the Size destination centers to define the size of the centers to be valued

  • the Start date and End date of the validity of the rule

  • the Distribution type to apply, which can only be Percent Completed

  • the SOURCE UNIT OF MEASURE and the DESTINATION UNIT OF MEASURE, for any conversions between UMs

  • the Multiplier to apply to the source quantities

In the grid below, we will enter the list of destination centers to be valued, filling in the following fields:

  • the Cost center of destination

  • the Percent Completed to apply

  • the Value to use

  • the flat Percentage / Value: if checked, it means that the percentage will be typed directly; otherwise, a line quantity (the previous field) can be entered, which FluentisERP will use to derive a relative percentage

  • any Project to value

Examples

One initial need might be to assign physical quantities to a center for which time is not being recorded, in order to calculate its cost rate derived from the total hours replicated from other centers: a production auxiliary, for example, might receive the total hours from other centers used in production to derive a quantity to be utilized for its rate calculation.

Another need might be to replicate physical movements from the directional dimension into other dimensions to use them to apply specific drivers of these.

A third need might be to convert the hours received from production into minutes, to calculate a rate in a second unit of measure without having to calculate it manually externally.

If from a single source data we had to duplicate the quantity to two other centers, a rule could be applied that duplicates the starting value with a multiplier and then assigns half to one and half to the other, for example.

Note

The mask contains a button to duplicate the selected flow.
