4. Cost Center

4.1 Relevance to business process


Cost Center Master Data You use Cost Center Accounting for controlling purposes within your organization. The costs incurred by your organization should be transparent. This enables you to check the profitability of individual functional areas and provide decision-making data for management. This requires that all costs be assigned according to their source. However, source-related assignment is especially difficult for overhead costs. Cost Center Accounting lets you analyze the overhead costs according to where they were incurred within the organization. Depending on the level of decision-making powers assigned to the manager of an organizational unit, you can distinguish between various types of responsibility areas within an organization: Cost center Profit centers Investment centers Recording costs with reference to plan values Calculating operating results Calculating Return On Investment In the SAP system you can create an investment center in the Profit Center Accounting component (EC-PCA). You do this by assigning balance sheet items to a profit center.

Entering actual costs Primary costs can be transferred to Cost Accounting from other components, for example, Materials Management (MM), Asset Accounting (AA), and Payroll Accounting (PY). Additional costs and outlay costs are recorded using the accrual method. Allocating actual costs You can use various methods to further allocate the actual costs you have recorded, according to their source. The system distinguishes between transaction-based allocations, which occur within one period, and period-based allocations, which occur at period end.

Cost Center Accounting Master Data Page 5

White Lotus
Planning activities and costs You can use planning to define organizational targets and carry out regular cost-effectiveness checks. Variances can be calculated by comparing the actual costs and activities with the plan values. These variances serve as a control signal, which helps you to correct business processes, when required. You can plan costs and activities to determine allocation (activity) prices. Allocating plan costs All actual allocations that occur for cost centers can also be planned (for example, distribution, assessment, and indirect activity allocation). Entering plan and actual statistical key figures Statistical key figures are used as the basis for the indirect allocation methods, as well as for evaluations in the information system (for example, employees, and telephones). Activity Accounting Activity Accounting uses the activity produced by a cost center as the tracing factor for the costs. You can use activities to measure the operating rate or the rate of capacity utilization for a cost center. The target costs of the cost center refer to the activity output. Depending on the source of the costs, the activities of a cost center are divided into various activity types (for example, for the Work center cost center: Repair hours or Assembly hours. Information system The information system provides tools with which you can analyze the cost flows that have occurred in your organization. You can carry out standard recurring evaluations; and create special reports for unique tasks or situations.

White Lotus
Cost center Hierarchy

You can combine cost centers into cost center groups. You can then create cost center hierarchies from these groups by combining the groups according to decision-making area, area of responsibility, or management area. A cost center hierarchy comprises all cost centers for a given period and therefore represents the whole enterprise. This hierarchy is known as the standard hierarchy.

5. Cost Element

5.1 Relevance to business process


Cost elements classify an organizations valuated consumption of production factors within a controlling area. A cost element corresponds to a cost-relevant item in the chart of accounts. We distinguish between primary cost and revenue elements and secondary cost elements.

5.2 Configuration and usage consideration


Primary Cost/Revenue Elements A primary cost or revenue element is a cost or revenue-relevant item in the chart of accounts, for which a corresponding general ledger (G/L) account exists in Financial Accounting (FI). You can only create the cost or revenue element if you have first defined it as a G/L account in the chart of accounts and created it as an account in Financial Accounting. The SAP System checks whether a corresponding account exists in Financial Accounting. Examples of primary cost elements include: Material Consumption Personnel costs Telephone expenses

To be able to post to a primary cost element, you require an object in Management accounting (such as a cost center) to identify the origin of the costs. In order to analyze revenues in cost controlling, revenue GL accounts must be created as revenue cost element. Revenue elements are primary cost elements of category 11.

Secondary Cost Elements Secondary cost elements can only be created and administrated in cost accounting (CO). They portray internal value flows, such as those found in internal activity allocation, overhead calculations and settlement transactions.

Cost Center Accounting Master Data Page 19

White Lotus
When you create a secondary cost element, the SAP System checks whether a corresponding account already exists in Financial Accounting. If one exists, you cannot create the secondary cost element in cost accounting. Examples of secondary cost elements include: Assessment cost elements Cost elements for Internal Activity Allocation Cost elements for Order Settlement

Cost elements are created at the controlling area level.

When a cost element is created, the cost element cost element category must be entered. The cost element category defines the transactions for which the cost element can be used. For example, category 01 (general primary cost elements) is used for the standard primary postings from Financial Accounting or Materials Management.

Automatic creation of cost elements

Cost Center Accounting Master Data Page 20

White Lotus
Cost elements can be created automatically. For this the default settings which links cost the cost element range is linked to cost element categories. Primary costs are only created if the respective general ledger exists in the operational chart. The cost element is defaulted from the G/L account master data in Financial Accounting. This can be changed in Management Accounting. In the operational chart of accounts settings it is possible to customize whether creating a general ledger automatically created the cost element. In order to use this functionality the pre-settings for the automatic creation of cost elements must be made. Secondary cost elements are also automatically created. The description is taken from the cost element category, which can be changed manually.

6. Statistical Key Figures

6.1 Relevance to business process


Statistical Key figures are used to record figures relevant to or representing Cost Centers Activity Types Orders Business Processes Profit Centers Real Estate Objects You can use them as the basis for internal allocations, such as Distribution and Assessment. You assess the costs for the cafeteria to the individual cost centers, based on the number of employees in each cost center. To do this, you need to enter the number of employees in each cost center as a statistical key figure.

Cost Center Accounting Master Data Page 31

White Lotus
6.2 Customization consideration
You can define statistical key figures as either:

Fixed values Totals values

Key figures defined as fixed values are valid as of the posting period, and in all subsequent posting periods of the fiscal year. The statistical key figure Employees is defined as a fixed value. In period 1 of the fiscal year, you post 10 Employees on cost center 4100. The system then automatically posts 10 employees in periods 2 through 12. In period 6, the number of employees is increased to 15. This means that in period 6, you post 15 Employees on the cost center. The system automatically posts 15 employees in periods 6 through 12. Key figures defined as Totals values are valid only in the posting period in which they are entered. You define the statistical key figure Telephone units as a totals value. In period 1 of the fiscal year, you post 1000 Telephone units on cost center 4100. The system posts 1000 telephone units in period 01 only. As well as entering statistical key figures manually, you can also transfer them automatically from the information systems of other SAP System application components. To do this, statistical key figure maintenance includes an interface that enables you to link the statistical key figures in Controlling with those in the Logistics Information System (LIS). You transfer plan and actual key figures from the LIS separately. Create Statistical key figure (totals) Step 1. In the initial screen enter the Statistical key figure (identifier)

7. Activity types

7.1 Relevance to business process


To plan and allocate the activities, the system records quantities that are measured in activity units. Activity quantities are valuated using a price (allocation price). In Overhead Cost Controlling, costs based on the activity quantity of an activity type are posted separately in fixed and variable portions. When you divide the activities of a cost center into activity types, you should consider whether the costs can be allocated effectively to the activity types. The prices of the activity types of a cost center can be either entered manually, or calculated by the system based on the costs allocated to the activities. Prices can be calculated either using plan costs or actual costs. You can plan, allocate, and control costs either at the activity type level of a cost center, or at the cost center level. You can enter actual costs at the cost center level. Costs entered at the cost center level are assigned using splitting. You can also assign the activity type of a cost center directly. This use was designed for certain application areas (such as personnel costs and depreciation postings).

Cost Center Accounting Master Data Page 39

White Lotus

7.2 Configuration and usage consideration


Activity Type Categories 1 Description Actual activity is entered and allocated directly Use

Allocation of measurable activities; actual quantity plan price Actual quantities result from the Indirect calculation of total of the activity inputs, activity quantities using calculated using tracing factors receiver tracing factors on the individual receivers Actual activities are allocated Automatic allocation of using indirect activity allocation activity quantities using receiver tracing factors Activity types are not allocated This activity type can be used only to record quantities (no values) on the sender cost centers

Activity types describe activities produced by a cost center. They are measured in units of time or quantity. Activity quantities are valuated using a price. For example: the maintenance department provides maintenance service at a labor hourly rate of USD 100. When the activities produced by a cost center are used by other cost centers, orders or projects, this means that the resources of the sending cost center are being used by the receiver objects. By recording the planned and actual quantities consumed, you reallocate cost incurred on the sender into the receivers. Activity Types can be grouped to facilitate reporting and cost allocation. Activity types are used to allocate machine cost from production cost center to the production orders.

8. Additional functions for master data
Time based master data Collective processing option Master Data Groups

8.1 Relevance to business process


Time based master data Master data for cost centers, cost elements, and activity types is stored in SAP as time based values. This means that SAP creates multiple master records for the same Cost center (or cost element) for different time periods. The attributes of the cost center may be different in the different periods. Collective processing option SAP provides collective processing to make changes to cost centers, cost element, activity types & Statistical key figures. Cost element & Activity types can only be displayed or deleted using the collective processing option. Master Data group The following master data can be grouped together, Cost center groups Cost element groups Activity type groups Statistical key figure groups Master data groups are useful during execution of reporting, planning or allocation functions.
