This is the ledger account to which the contribution is to be posted. The time at which the contributions are posted (realization times) depends on the cost component to which the contributions apply.

This is the level of the contribution, for example '10'. The Contribution type shows whether this is a fixed sum or a percentage. If it is a percentage, the Cost component shows the component on which the percentage is to be calculated.

This is the cost component on which the contribution is to be calculated. The contribution can also be calculated on all cost components ('Total'). If you choose 'Contribution on contribution', the contribution will be calculated on the costs including contribution.

The time at which the contributions are posted (realization times) depends on the cost component to which the contributions apply.

Specify whether the contribution is a fixed sum or a percentage. The level of this sum or percentage is specified in the Contribution field. If the cost component is set to 'Equipment', 'Total' or 'Contribution on contribution', the Contribution type is automatically set to 'Percentage'.

The contribution shown here relates to the part group of the calculation lines, i.e. the parts that are used to create the finished product. This field can be filled in only if the cost component is 'Parts' or 'Total'. The contribution is calculated for the part group entered in this field. Leave this check box empty if the contribution is to be calculated for all groups.

This field can be filled in only if the cost component is 'Operations' or 'Total'. The contribution is calculated for the capacity group entered in this field. Leave this check box empty if the contribution is to be calculated for all groups.

This field can be filled in only if the cost component is 'Equipment' or 'Total'. The contribution is calculated for the equipment group entered in this field. Leave this check box empty if the contribution is to be calculated for all groups.

This field can be filled in only if the cost component is 'External operations' or 'Total'. The contribution is calculated for the external operation group entered in this field. Leave this check box empty if the contribution is to be calculated for all groups.

These fields are used only if the cost component is 'Contribution on contribution'. In that case, select the cost component on which the contribution is to be calculated.
