Organizational Structure:

Operating Concern: it is the highest node in Controlling Module. It collects the sales and
marketing information. Example Sales Contribution Report at Market Segment level i.e
Product, Customer. This is required only when COPA is implemented otherwise not
required.

Controlling Area: It records and analyses the overhead related activities, product costing
and Profit Center related activities.

We can assign “n” number of controlling areas to Operating Concern subject to following
Condition in Controlling.
 Fiscal Year Variant Should be identical between Controlling Area and Operating
Concern.
Company Code: it is a legal entity responsible for preparing financial statements i.e
Balance Sheet, Income Statement and Cash Flow statement and to maintain book keeping

We can assign “n” of company codes to Controlling area subject to following conditions.

 Chart of accounts should be same between company code and controlling area.
 Fiscal Year Variant should be same between means.
1. Number of normal periods should be same
2. Starting period and ending period should be same
3. Starting date and ending date should be same.

Benefits of using “Cross Company Code Controlling Area”

 Cross Company Code Transactions for reallocation of costs across the company
codes within controlling area
 Partner product costing for group costing
 Transfer Price

Cost Centers: This is used to activate Cost Center Accounting.

AA: Activity Type

This allows you to enter an activity type when creating a posting in Financial Accounting
with a cost center assignment.

Order Management: if want to use internal orders then activate it.

Commit. Management

 Controlling Configuration Document

This is used to activate commitments on controlling objects. When someone creates a

purchase order and assigns this purchase order to a cost center or internal order, you can
see the value of the purchase order as a commitment on the controlling object.

Profit. Analysis
This can be activated only when the controlling area is assigned to an operating concern.

Acty-Based Costing
This is used to activate activity-based costing, which is based on identified activities within
a company and assigns all costs to those
activities.

Profit Center Acctg. (Classical)

This is used to activate the classic Profit Center Accounting. With the introduction of New
General, profit center accounting become part of FI. If you want to use New GL Profit
center Accounting, you should not select this indicator.

Projects: Activate if you want use Project Systems.

Sales Orders: This should be activated if you work with sales order stock. i.e MTO
Scenario

W. Commit. Mgt. (with Commitments Management)

If this is activated, the system creates a commitment when someone creates a sales order
with an assignment to a cost object. The commitment is shown on the cost object until the
sales order is billed.

Cost Objects
This is used to activate Cost Object Controlling means
 Product Cost by Order
 Product Cost by Period
 Process Order…

All Currencies: If it’s activated, the system will update CO values in the transaction
currency and the object currency. If it’s inactive, only the controlling area currency is used
to update CO values. Be very careful with this indicator.
