2.1.1.2 Maintaining Versions


Use
 Version 0

Planning
- Integrated planning is set
- Copying is allowed
- Exchange rate type M with value date = start of fiscal year
- Valuation version for internal activity allocation = 0
- Integrated planning with cost centers/business processes

Price calculation
- Strictly iterative price
- Actual and planned periodic price (the costs of the individual period are divided by the
activities during that period, which may result in different prices for each period)
- You can initiate revaluation in a separate business transaction and revaluation at actual
prices. The original allocations for the planned price are not changed in the process.
Instead, the system posts the deviation from the allocation for the planned price in a
separate transaction.

 More versions: 1, 2, 3 (plan versions only)

Planning
- Exchange rate type P

Price calculation
- Strictly iterative price
- Periodic price

Integrated planning
- Controls whether or not planning of an internal order is integrated in a plan version with
cost center planning.

Strictly iterative price

Page 8 of 62
SAP ECC 6.0

You should only set this flag if you use manually set output prices for planning activity
types. If the flag is set, price calculation will also include the calculation of a strictly
iterative price, in addition to the price that results from your planning (for example,
through a mixture of iterative and manually set allocation prices). When determining this
strictly iterative price, the system acts as if there were no manually set prices. As a result,
the allocation prices for all activity types are also determined iteratively for all the cost
centers in this version.

2.1.2 Reconciliation Ledger


Use
The reconciliation ledger is a ledger for displaying summarized values. These values are
represented in detail in the transaction figures.
You can use the reconciliation ledger for the following activities:
 
 Reconciling CO with Financial Accounting
 Monitoring the reconciliation of CO with Financial Accounting by individual account
 Determining and identifying a value flow that was posted across company code,
functional area or business area boundaries in CO
 You can use this value flow as the basis for summary clearing entries in Financial
Accounting
 You can enter the clearing entries manually based on the determined values or have the
R/3 System carry them out automatically.
 
Because functional areas have been defined, the reconciliation ledger is relevant and is
therefore should be activated. The activation is included in Maintaining the Controlling
Area.

2.2 Master Data


Use
Master data is imported using CATTs (computer aided test tools) or application transactions.
Because some of the master data is required for Customizing, a description of the data used
appears below.
For more information on the master data, refer to the CATT documentation or the Business
Process Procedures.

2.2.1 Cost Elements


2.2.1.1 Primary Cost Elements
Use
Primary cost elements have been defined through chart of accounts 1000. The primary cost
elements are based on the accounts in FI and may be allocated to multiple cost element groups.

Page 12 of 62
SAP ECC 6.0

Whenever you create a new income statement account in SAP FI that is relevant for CO, you
have to create a corresponding primary cost element in CO to make sure that postings relevant to
cost accounting are recorded properly.
Primary cost elements are mainly personnel and material costs that can be posted directly to SAP
CO via FI. To manage primary cost elements, you can use the categories “Primary Cost
Elements” (category 1: primary costs / cost-reducing revenues), “Accrued Cost Elements”
(category 3: accrual deferral per surcharge and category 4: accrual/deferral per target=actual)
and “External Order Settlement” (category 22: external settlement).
The primary cost elements are created using a master data CATT. In most cases, cost element
category 1 (primary costs / cost-reducing revenues) is assigned.

Procedure
No further Customizing activities are required to create primary cost elements.

2.2.1.2 Revenue Elements


Use
In order to use revenue accounting, you have to create revenue elements as cost elements in
CO. The cost element categories involved are “Revenue Element” (category 11) and “Sales
Deduction” (category 12). Revenue elements and sales deductions are based on the P&L
accounts in the General Ledger, but should not be used for cost centers.
If Profitability Analysis is not active, no CO revenue elements are created for the FI revenue
accounts. Instead, the revenues are posted directly to the profit centers.

Procedure
You do not configure any other settings here.

2.2.2 Cost Centers


Use
Because the cost center structure is highly dependent on your industry sector, the cost centers
have been integrated in the cost center hierarchy in as most general a manor as possible. You
should only import cost centers and cost center groups, or add additional cost centers to the
existing hierarchy, that you truly need.
Before you can create a cost center, you have to create an appropriate cost center group within
the standard hierarchy, to which the new cost center will be assigned. A group can contain
several cost centers, and you can create several alternative groupings for the required cost
centers.

Page 13 of 62
SAP ECC 6.0

Settlement: With which accounts the costs are settled.


- The costs remain in the cost center (if Profitability Analysis/Product Costing were active,
the costs would be assigned directly to the profitability segment/production order).

Int. The costs are settled with other cost centers.


Ext. CC The costs were submitted to production cost centers.

2.2.2.1 Cost Center Categories


Use
You assign cost center categories to cost centers.

Procedure
1. To carry out the activity, choose one of the following navigation options:
Transaction code OKA2
IMG menu IMG  Controlling  Cost Center Accounting  Master Data 
Cost Centers  Define Cost Center Categories
2. <Cost Center Categories View>
Table V_TKA05

Page 14 of 62
SAP ECC 6.0

The lock indicator for primary actual postings, secondary actual postings, primary cost planning
and secondary cost planning are not set for all cost element categories.

2.2.3 Activity Types


Use
The activity types group the activities that are rendered in the cost centers.
To plan and settle these activities, quantities are measured in activity units. The activity quantity
is valuated with a price (sometimes also referred to as the “activity price”).
In Overhead Cost Controlling, the costs involving the activity quantity of an activity type are
managed separately in fixed and variable proportions. When you divide the activities of a cost
center into activity types, you should therefore consider whether or not the costs can be allocated
to those activity types.
You can manually enter prices for the activity types of a cost center, or have the system
calculate them based on the costs allocated to the activities. You can calculate prices
based both on planned and actual costs.

Overview of Cost Centers and Activity Types


You link cost centers with activity types during the planning for activity output. The entries in the
activity type master are merely proposals. You can change them in the corresponding planning
layout the first time you plan the activity output of a cost center. This means that different cost
centers can output the same activity (such as staff hours) with different prices and allocation cost
elements.

Procedure
You do not configure any other settings here.

2.2.4 Overhead Cost Orders


Use
Internal orders are generally used for planning, collecting, and settling the costs of internal
measures and tasks. The SAP R/3 System enables you to trace your internal orders across their
entire life cycle – from opening to planning and the posting of all actual costs to final settlement
and archiving. The internal order management functions represent the finest operational level of
cost and activity accounting.

2.2.4.1 Order Types


Use
Accrual Orders
You use accrual orders to monitor the period-related accrual calculation between the expenses
posted in Financial Accounting and the accrued costs charged in Cost Accounting. You can
therefore take the expenses you record in Financial Accounting and distribute them as accrued
costs across multiple periods. You use a master data CATT to create accrual order
9A0000000001, which you use in planned and actual results analysis.
 Order Type: 9A00 Internal Order – Accrual Cost Accounting
 External Number Assignment: 9A00 + Sequence Number
 Settlement Profile: 20
 Not Matched with Revenue

Other Order Types


Several order types are predefined. These order types differ in two attributes in revenue
management and the settlement profile. You can uncheck the “Revenue Postings” flag for order
type ERLO (Third-Party Services) if necessary.

Because cost centers cannot manage true revenues, special Customizing settings
are needed to settle cost centers with orders for which costs are matched with
revenues.

You define a number of control parameters for settlement in the settlement profile. The settlement
profile is a prerequisite for entering a settlement rule for a sender later in the order master record.
The settlement profile is usually defined in the order type. The statistical order category STAT
does not require a settlement profile, since statistical costs and revenues cannot be charged
further.

2.2.5 Profit Centers


Use
Profit Center Accounting is used for internal reporting, broken down by area of responsibility.
These areas can vary widely from company to company. Therefore, the provided assignments to
cost centers are only intended as an example and have to be adapted to your specific needs.
 

Profit Center Structure and Profit Centers


A simple profit center structure is created and can be enhanced with the best practices for an
industry or as an independent system depending on your specific needs.
 
You can use CATTs to create the following profit centers:

Profit Center Description


1000 Plant 1
1100 Plant 2
 

Page 18 of 62
SAP ECC 6.0

The created profit centers are assigned to the standard profit center hierarchy as illustrated
below:

Profit Centers and Accounts


As soon as you create a new income statement account in SAP FI that will be relevant for Profit
Center Accounting, you have to create a corresponding primary cost element in SAP CO to
ensure the proper account assignment for the cost accounting-relevant objects. Alternatively, you
can add the account to the list of “Additional Balance Sheet/Income Statement Accounts” in
Customizing. Make sure that you also assign the new accounts to the account groups that you
use for reporting; otherwise the postings to the new account will not appear in your reports.

2.3 Overhead Cost Controlling

2.3.1 Cost and Activity Planning


Use
There is no general prescribed sequence for cost planning. Certain rules are recommended,
however. A sequence proposed by SAP is described below; you are under no obligation to follow
this sequence.
Assumptions
 Cost center planning is set up for each cost center and for one fiscal year.
 Cost centers without activity types are planned independent of activity types. If cost centers
have multiple activity types, the costs are distributed to the activity types by cost element.
 No industry-specific planning layouts or profiles have been defined.

2.3.1.1 Activity Type Planning


Use
SAP recommends starting with activity type/reference figure planning, since the planned activity
quantities and capacities determine the planned cost volume. The system links all costs in the
cost center to the activity types and uses this information to determine the prices per activity type.
You can also plan prices yourself within activity type planning. The system does not determine
the prices in this case.
When passing on the activity types, the SAP R/3 System credits the cost center according to
cause. In order to do so, after cost planning for the planned activities is complete, plan prices
have to be determined by the system or set by the user that guarantee a complete credit of the
cost centers (according to the plan). Therefore, the calculation of the plan prices represents the
conclusion of cost center planning.

Page 21 of 62
SAP ECC 6.0

Planning for cost centers for which activity types have been defined (values are samples only):

Cost Center Activity Type Plan Activity Plan Capacity Plan Price
Quantity
Environmental Environmental 1200 AU/year 2400 AU/year Price calculation
Protection Protection
Internal Transport Internal Transport 13000 18000 AU/year Price calculation
AU/year
Maintenance Staff Hours 8000 H/year 9000 H/year Price calculation

You have to pay attention to the period distribution. The plan activity should be
distributed equally across all periods of the planning interval, in order to avoid a
potential division by 0 during plan price calculation.

In production planning, activity quantities that were calculated using long-term


planning can be copied to the cost center with the “Scheduled PP Activity”
function. This activity is placed as a scheduled activity, but does not correspond
to the plan activity yet. The scheduled activities are not placed in the plan activity
until the plan reconciliation run. Only then do they become the basis for price
calculation.

Procedure
You do not configure any other settings here.

2.3.1.2 Manual Planning of Statistical Key Figures


Use
Once activity type planning is complete, you can start planning the statistical key figures. The
SAP R/3 System uses the statistical key figures as the tracing factor for plan distribution,
assessment, as well as for periodic repostings.

The statistical key figures “Number of Message Units”, “Headcount”, “Area in sq. ft.” and “Number
of Users” are planned in each cost center. Gas, water, and electricity consumption are only
planned for the relevant cost centers (with consumption worth reporting).

Procedure
You do not configure any other settings here.

Page 22 of 62
SAP ECC 6.0

2.3.1.3 Manual Primary Cost Planning


Use
As the name implies, primary cost planning involves planning the primary costs – that is, costs
due to external procurement or material withdrawals.
Both activity-independent (only to cost center) and activity-specific (to cost center/activity type)
primary costs are planned.
During activity-specific primary cost planning, you can split the figures into fixed and variable
costs. The SAP R/3 System always updates the activity-independent costs as fully fixed.

Activity-specific primary cost planning for cost centers for which activity output has been planned
(values are samples only):

Cost Center Activity Type Cost Fixed Costs Variable Costs


Element
Environmental Environmental Salaries 1,200 KRW 2,400 KRW
Protection Protection
Internal Transport Internal Transport Salaries 13,000 KRW 18,000 KRW
Maintenance Staff Hours Salaries 8,000 KRW 9,000 KRW

Procedure
You do not configure any other settings here.

2.3.1.4 Cost Center Activity Input Planning


Use
Activity types are planned in cost centers. This forms the basis for price calculation.
You use application transactions to carry out planning (see Business Process Procedures).

Procedure
You do not configure any other settings here.

2.3.1.5 Plan Cost Accrual Calculation


Use
You should start the plan accrual once you have completed manual primary cost planning. During
this process, overhead cost percentages are used to plan accrued costs for the corresponding
cost centers.
You have to define accrual parameters for the plan accrual; they are usually identical to those for
actual accrual.

Page 23 of 62
SAP ECC 6.0

You define an overhead percentage rate for accruing the additional


employee benefit costs. Reference cost elements are the costs for wages
and salaries. Cost elements used for accrual by surcharge: Procedure

2.3.1.6 Plan Cost Distribution


Use
Distribution is the last activity in primary cost planning. In the previous planning steps, you
planned the primary costs in collective cost centers for an entire fiscal year. The SAP R/3 System
now distributes these costs to the individual cost centers periodically, according to predefined
keys.
Statistical key figures 005 (electricity consumption), 003 (gas consumption) and 004 (water
consumption) are used to distribute the primary costs from the energy cost center. At the end of
the period, the receiver cost centers receive the costs under original cost elements 54000910
Electricity, 54000900 Water and 54000920 Gas.

2.3.1.7 Plan Periodic Reposting


Use
Periodic reposting is a posting aid that you can use to make corrections to your cost centers,
business transactions, internal orders and work breakdown structure elements. It has the same
result as transaction-based reposting. The results of transaction-based reposting immediately
affect the senders’ and receivers’ actual costs, however, whereas the periodic reposting is only
reflected in the actual costs once at the end of the month.
The postings for the phone costs are assigned to the Telephone allocation cost center. This cost
center exists solely to collect costs. This reduces the time required for document entry in
Financial Accounting. At the end of the period, statistical key figure 001 (Number of Message
Units) is used to repost the collected costs to the incurring cost centers.

2.3.1.8 Plan Cost Assessment


Use
Assessment is used to allocate primary and secondary costs. The original cost elements are
combined and allocated to the receiver cost center in an assessment cost element.
The cost centers for assessment are the quality lab, IT, cafeteria, housekeeping and plant
security.

Page 25 of 62
SAP ECC 6.0

Prerequisites
 You use cost elements with cost element category 42 (such as 63003000 for quality lab
assessment) for the plan assessment.
 You define the allocation rules based on statistical key figures (such as 007 = number of
users for IT assessment) or fixed percentages.

2.3.1.9 Plan Reconciliation


Use
You use plan reconciliation to check and reconcile the internal exchange of activities. In the
process, the SAP R/3 System adjusts the planned activity output for a cost center to the activity
requirements of the receiver cost centers.

Procedure
You do not configure any other settings here.

Page 26 of 62
SAP ECC 6.0

2.3.1.10 Planned Price Iteration


Use
The planned price iteration represents the conclusion of your planning activities. All preceding
planning activities form the basis for the iteration. The SAP R/3 System determines the prices for
the activity types in several iteration runs. The system then uses these prices to valuate the
activity relationship.

You should not start price calculation until the structure of the cost centers and
activity types has been fixed. The deletion of cost centers after price calculation is
a lengthy process, even if all the costs have already been reversed.

Procedure
You do not configure any other settings here.

2.3.2 Budgeting and Budget Management

2.3.2.1 Budget Planning for Cost Centers


Use
You can plan a budget independently of any other planning steps. Because its figures are
independent of those in the other steps, you can include it in the planning process whenever you
want. Budget planning is another planning instrument in addition to primary and secondary cost
planning. It enables you to compare the sum of your actual postings with the planned budget.
This can help you spot budget overruns and control availability. You can plan budgets for
 A single cost center
 All the cost centers of a cost center group
You can view the budget data in a budget report. You can contrast the plan, commitments and
actual data (resulting from the actual postings), as well as the allotted and available amounts.

Prerequisites
In order to plan a budget, you need a budget profile. Several profiles have already been defined.
You can change their detailed settings in dialog during budget planning:
 Analysis time frame for budget planning
 Number of decimal places
 Scaling factor
 Distribution key
 Annual and/or period values

2.3.2.2 Budget Management for Orders


Use
The difference between budget management and order cost planning is its bindingness. Whereas
you have to estimate the costs for an order as precisely as possible during the planning phase,
the funds are specified as a budget during the approval phase. The budget is a framework,
approved by management, for processing order costs over a specific period.
Once the planning phase is complete, a budget is allocated. This budget can then only be
changed by budget updates from a defined point. You can either copy the original budget from
cost planning or set it manually. Budget updates can become necessary when unforeseen events
occur or when additional measures – such as price increases for external activities – require
corrections to the original budget.
You can allocate budgets whose status is Opened or later. If you want to prevent the allocation of
budgets with status Opened, you will have to define a user status (refer to the online
documentation for more information).
At many companies, the allocation of a budget is not the same as a release of funds. To reflect
this fact, you can use releases to successively release the budget. The foundation for releases is
the current budget – that is, the original budget as changed by any existing budget updates.

Page 28 of 62
SAP ECC 6.0

Prerequisites
In order to allocate a budget, an order profile must be assigned to the order. Among other things,
the budget profile defines:
 The time horizon for budgeting
 Whether budgeting is allowed for Total values and/or annual values

Budget profile “000001” (General Budget Profile) is assigned to all order types and has the
following characteristic values:

2.3.2.3 Availability Control for Orders


Use
The monitoring of allotted funds is a primary element of order controlling. You can call up the
funds overview, an overview of all allotments and their types, at any time. For critical orders in
particular, the allotted funds can exceed the funds made available at an early stage.
In addition to the funds overview as a “passive availability control”, an “active availability control”
has been implement that enables you to prevent excessive allotments from occurring in the first
place. Based on defined tolerance limits and whenever certain activities are recorded, the system
checks whether the available budget or available released budget (release) is still sufficient.
Budget profile “000001” (general budget profile) in controlling area 1000 steers the availability
control of orders in accordance with the following settings (tolerance limits):

2.3.2.4 Commitments Management for Cost Centers and Orders


Use
Purchase orders and purchase requisitions create financial obligations (commitments) with
differing degrees of binding. These commitments are not recorded for accounting purposes, but
can result in actual costs in various business transactions. Basically, this means that
commitments tie funds that will become costs at a later point in time.
The Controlling module takes care of activities such as planning, checking and controlling costs.
Commitments Management is an element of cost monitoring; commitments are identified for
orders, cost centers and projects.
A purchase order commitment is created when you create a purchase order. In order for the data
to be copied from purchasing, the purchase order or release order has to be assigned to the
account of an order, a cost center or a project. The purchase order commitment is reduced upon
the invoice/goods receipt. It can be reduced completely or proportionally to the invoice/goods
receipt. You can define these settings in the purchase order.

The default, quantity-based commitments management is active in controlling area BP01.

Activating commitments management will increase your data volume.

2.3.3 Actual Postings

Page 31 of 62
SAP ECC 6.0

2.3.3.1 Direct Activity Allocation


Use
Direct activity allocation is possible for activity types for which activity type category 1 (manual
entry, manual clearing) is maintained in the activity master.
A sender cost center can only provide an activity type when a price has been planned for that
cost center/activity type combination.

Procedure
You do not configure any other settings here.

2.3.3.2 Transfer of Primary Costs to Cost Center/Order


Use
When you create postings in SAP FI, the system proposes a corresponding cost accounting-
relevant object as soon as the default account assignment is configured.
You could use the default account assignment for the following business transactions, for
example: (If you set price difference accounts as cost element, in Korea, normally do not set price
difference account as cost element)
 Transferring price differences that are posted in Purchasing as the result of different prices
during invoice receipt
 The revaluation of material stocks
 The transfer of inventory differences
If Profitability Analysis is active, you should set the profitability segment as the default account
assignment.
If you use the Logistics components, it makes sense to use the default account
assignment for those cost elements that are automatically posted to from the
Logistics modules (logistical income statement accounts).

2.3.4 Period-End Closing Overhead Costs Controlling

Page 32 of 62
SAP ECC 6.0

2.3.4.1 Activities by Cost Center


Use
During the period-end closing for Cost Center Accounting, you carry out period-specific business
transactions prior to the end of the period.
These include:
 Accrual calculation
 Overhead rates
 Periodic allocations
o Periodic reposting
o Actual distribution
o Actual assessment
o Indirect activity allocation
 Actual price calculation in Cost Center Accounting

2.3.4.1.1 Actual Period Reposting


Use
At the end of the period, you use statistical key figure 001 (Number of Message Units) to repost
the phone costs from the “phone” allocation cost center to the incurring cost centers.
The cycle maintained in the plan has been copied to the actual.

Use
Actual cost accrual calculation has been configured similarly to plan cost accrual calculation.
The data from the plan accrual calculation were copied completely (for details, see plan cost
accrual calculation).
The same orders as in the plan are used as accrual orders. This enables you to compare the plan
costs with the actual costs.
Because profitability analysis is not active, the delta – if any – remains in the accrual order.

the receiving cost centers in an assessment cost element (such as 63003000 for Quality Lab
Assessment).
The cost centers for assessment are the quality lab, IT, cafeteria, housekeeping and plant
security.

2.3.4.2 Internal Order-Related Activities


Use
You generally use internal orders to record a preliminary collection of costs and to help you with
the necessary planning, control and inspection processes. Once the measure is complete, you
settle the costs with one or more receivers (cost center, fixed asset, profitability segment and so
on).
To settle an internal order, a settlement rule that determines where the costs are settled must be
defined in each sender.
The settlement profile that is assigned to the order type determines how an order is settled. For
more information on this subject, see the Planning chapters.

2.3.4.2.1 Maintaining Allocation Structures

2.4 Profit Center Accounting


Use
A profit center represents a subdivision of a company, to which you can post revenues and costs.
This enables you to judge the economic performance of your individual company areas.
Postings to profit centers are statistical postings. This means they are posted to an additional CO
account assignment (cost center, order) for postings to cost elements. When postings to stock
accounts are involved, the system determines the profit center from the plant-specific data of the
material master record and writes this additional information to the FI document.
Period accounting has been implemented, but you can change to cost-of-sales accounting if
desired.
You can also allocate individual balance sheet items – such as asset portfolios, material stocks,
receivables and payables – by profit center. The items “Bank”, “Capital” and “Taxes” cannot be
completely allocated to a unique profit center. Therefore, you cannot create a complete balance
sheet for individual profit centers in Profit Center Accounting.
In an integrated SAP R/3 system environment, material movements are carried out using
movement types in MM and are posted to Financial Accounting at the same time. In the process,
the profit center is derived automatically from the plant level of the material master and saved as
an account assignment in the FI document. Stocks are managed at the plant level. The profit
center stock is derived from the plant stocks of a material.
When movements take place in Materials Management, the system checks whether sufficient
plant stock (and therefore automatically the profit center stock) of a given material is available.
If you do not use Materials Management, you cannot track profit center stocks or stock changes,
because the posting of the Accounting document does not trigger the check for sufficient profit
center stocks. This can result in negative stocks (or incorrect stock changes) in a profit center. In
this case, it no longer makes sense to allocate the balance sheet items or P&Ls to different profit
centers.
Please note that the settings described below represent the minimum requirements, and can be
supplemented for specific industries.

Definition of Profit Center Accounting


- P&L by period accounting
- Asset portfolios by profit center
- Receivables and payables by profit center

Extending Profit Center Accounting


If you use an industry solution, you can use the corresponding Logistics components such as
SAP MM, SAP SD and SAP PP. This gives you additional integration options:
- Automatic derivation of the profit center for stock postings and revenue postings
- Allocation of P&Ls (period accounting and cost-of-sales accounting) by profit center for segment
reporting

Page 37 of 62
SAP ECC 6.0

- Material stocks by profit center


- Using the balance sheet adjustment to allocate receivables and payables
and the P&L adjustment for the subsequent account assignment of cash
discount expense/revenue and loss, source differences and backdated tax
calculations (based on cash discounts).

To use this function sensibly, you have to extend Profit Center Accounting. This can affect the
following areas:
1. Profit center structure
A more complex profit center structure that is based on the needs (organizational structure,
products, markets, value chain) of the affected company.
2. Assignment to master data
More complex cost centers structure to enable unique profit center allocation.
3. The default account assignments (select additional P&L accounts, default account
assignment in CO) have to be defined in more detail in Customizing.
4. When an SD order is created, the correct profit center has to be allocated.
5. When a material master is created, the corresponding profit center is entered in costing view
1 (plant level).

Business Area vs. Profit Center


As internal and external accounting methods have converged, the need to
differentiate between an external orientation by business area and an
internal orientation by profit center for steering purposes has become less
and less relevant. Customers find it more and more difficult to choose
between the two entities. To pay heed to these changing requirements,
future functional enhancements in the Accounting area will concentrate on
the profit center entity. The business area will be retained in its current
form. Its data and functions will continue to be available. However, no
further functional enhancements will be implemented for the business area
entity (also see note number 321190).
For this reason, no business areas are defined in Best Practices. All the
Best Practices will offer a version of Profit Center Accounting that you can
adapt to your specific industry’s needs.

2.4.1 Actual Postings

2.4.1.1Integration with Other Components


Use
Actual postings in Profit Center Accounting are generated by primary cost postings in Financial
Accounting and assessments and distributions in Cost Accounting.

Page 38 of 62
SAP ECC 6.0

Expense Accounts
The following cost elements are copied from Financial Accounting to Profit Center Accounting:
 Expense accounts that are also defined as cost elements in SAP CO.
The profit center is derived from the cost center or the order (see Master Data)
 If stock changes (material postings) occur, the following options are available for deriving
the profit center:
- Default account assignment from G/L account (see section “Selecting Additional
Balance Sheet/P&L Items”)
- Manual account assignment when posting to the G/L account
- Derivation from the material master. More information is available in the industry
scenarios.
The default profit center is assigned for expenses when the profit center cannot be derived
automatically.

Revenue Accounts
When postings to revenue accounts are involved, three options for deriving the cost center are
conceivable:
 Default account assignment from G/L account (see section “Selecting Additional Balance
Sheet/P&L Items”)
 Manual account assignment when posting to the revenue account
 If you use the CO-PA, PS or SD components, you can derive the profit center from the
profitability segment, project or sales order item. This option is not implemented here.

Assessments, Distributions and Internal Activity Allocation:


The profit center is determined from the sender or receiver object in overhead cost controlling
(cost center, order).

Asset Portfolios
The profit centers are taken from the CO objects in the asset master record.

Receivables/Payables
When you post invoices whose revenues/expenses were generated by different profit centers, the
receivables/payables are not initially divided among the involved profit centers. You calculate the
receivables and payables at the end of the month with the “Calculate P&L adjustment” function,
and then assign them to the profit centers using the “Transfer payables/receivables” transaction
in PCA.

Procedure
For more detailed information about the configuration, see the master data and the other chapters
on Profit Center Accounting

2.4.1.2 Selecting Additional Balance Sheet and P&L Accounts


Use
In this activity, you can define which accounts and account intervals are to be defined on a
transaction-specific basis. This enables you to transfer postings to additional accounts in Profit
Center Accounting that are not posted to overhead cost controlling, in addition to the accounts

Page 39 of 62
SAP ECC 6.0

defined as cost/revenue elements. Examples of revenue accounts and sales deduction accounts,
as well as accounts for tangible assets, have been defined in the Best Practices system.
If no profit center is set for a posting, the default profit center from the account interval is used. If
the determination of the profit center by controlling area and account interval is not differentiated
enough, you can also define derivation rules for determining the default profit center. Because the
profit center structure is extremely enterprise-specific, it is not described in any detail here.
Instead, default profit center 9000 has been defined for all the accounts passed on in this
manner.

2.4.2 Profit Center Closing

2.4.2.1 Transferring Balance Sheet Items


Use
You can use the function for transferring selected balance sheet items to transfer asset portfolios,
material stocks, work in process and receivables and payables to Profit Center Accounting.
For asset portfolios, material stocks and work in process, we recommend only using this function
to create the initial stock balances after activating Profit Center Accounting. You can then
implement any changes to the stocks online – by defining the accounts as “Additional Balance
Sheet and P&L Accounts” in Customizing.
In contrast, receivables and payables cannot be transferred online, and are transferred using this
function once they have been determined.

2.4.2.2 P&L / Balance Sheet Adjustment


Use
If you use profit centers to divide your company into business areas, you may have to make
adjustments in order to distribute cash discounts or exchange rate differences among the profit
centers, for example, according to cause.
You can use report SAPF181 for the adjustments to the P&L. To do so, you have to define the
correction accounts in Customizing for all the accounts under consideration.
You can then run the correction report within the framework of the period-end closing.

Page 40 of 62
SAP ECC 6.0

Correction accounts for the P&L / balance sheet adjustment have already been defined in
company code BP01.

Correction report SAPF181 can only distribute cash discounts and exchange rate
differences that refer to an invoice. This is not the case, for example, for manual postings
to the cash discount account, canceling a clearing without reversing the payment,
rounding differences between SAPF181 and the payment and exchange rate differences
when clearing bank payments. You should still transfer such payments to PCA in order to
reconcile the balances between PCA and FI, however. To do so, assign the accounts as
“Additional Balance Sheet and Profit Statement Accounts” to the default profit in
Customizing. You can then assign the correction accounts for these accounts to the
same profit center.

3.5.4.6.3 Define Material Update Structure


Use
In this section, you can define a material update structure.

During the material ledger update, the system collects data from valuation-relevant transactions
such as goods receipts, invoice receipts, and settlement of production orders. This data is
collected in different categories in the material ledger in accordance with the material update
structure.

The influence that these transactions have on the valuation price upon material price
determination depends on the category to which they were assigned. The following categories
are available:

 Receipts

 Consumption

 Other Receipts/Consumption

A receipt always effects the valuation price. With consumption, you can determine whether or not
it has an effect on the valuation price of a material: the category Other receipts/consumption has an
effect, the category Consumption does not.

Prerequisites
Material update structure needs to be created

Costing/Material Ledger -> Material update -> Assign Material
Update Structure to a Valuation Area

The following settings has been done

Result
Standard setting has been maintained.

Actual Costing
Activate Actual Costing
Use
In this step you can activate, per plant, Actual Costing for materials and activity consumption update in the
quantity structure.

If you use Actual Costing, you can decide whether (in addition to material consumption) activity consumption
and/or processes which are used to produce a material should be updated in the quantity structure in Actual
Costing/Material Ledger.

Depending on the activation type chosen:

Page 59 of 62
SAP ECC 6.0

 Actual consumption is updated in the quantity structure but not considered during price
determination.

You can use this setting if you just want to receive information on the complete actual quantity
structure. Variances between the plan price for the cost center/activity type (or process) and the
actual price calculated at the end of the period can be debited to the cost object at period closing
using the function 'Revaluation at Actual Prices'.

 Actual consumption is updated in the quantity structure and is considered during price
determination.

If you choose this setting, the variances between the plan price and the cost center/activity type (or
process) and the actual price calculated at the end of the period are adjusted subsequently. The
cost center or the process is then credited and the material associated with the consumption is
debited. In the context of multi-level price determination, these variances can be rolled up through
the production structure up to the finished product in the same way that material price variances
are rolled up.
If you choose this setting, you cannot use the function 'Revaluation at Actual Prices' at period
closing in Cost Object Controlling, as the variances from the cost center / process are debited
directly to the material. If you use the function 'Revaluation at Actual Prices' at period closing, the
cost center / process will be credited twice and the materials will be debited twice.

In this step you can activate, per plant, Actual Costing for materials and activity consumption update in the
quantity structure.

If you use Actual Costing, you can decide whether (in addition to material consumption) activity consumption
and/or processes which are used to produce a material should be updated in the quantity structure in Actual
Costing/Material Ledger.

Depending on the activation type chosen:

 Actual consumption is updated in the quantity structure but not considered during price
determination.

You can use this setting if you just want to receive information on the complete actual quantity
structure. Variances between the plan price for the cost center/activity type (or process) and the
actual price calculated at the end of the period can be debited to the cost object at period closing
using the function 'Revaluation at Actual Prices'.

 Actual consumption is updated in the quantity structure and is considered during price
