INTERNAL ORDER

Internal order: An instrument which monitors the costs, short term, cost and revenue of specific service, ongoing cost control.

Order type:                  Key differentiate according to purpose, control indicators (classification, commit management, revenue postings, integrated planning), general parameters (settlement profile, planning profile, budget profile, class of order

Settlement

Allocation structure:    A tool allocates sender and receiver cost elements/cost object/category

            Settlement profile:      to be/not to be/full settle, alloc structure, valid receivers,

PROFIT CENTER ACCOUNTING

Maintain controlling area settings

Create dummy profit center.

Activate direct postings

Default account assignment of PC OKB9

Choose Additional Balance Sheet and P&L Accounts

                                                            3KEH, 3KEI

Difference is OKB9 should be created as cost element but 3KEH need not to be created as cost element

Sequence is OKB9 next 3KEH.

COST CENTER / COST ELEMENT ACCOUNTING

Statistical cost element category:       Statistical cost elements for balance sheet accounts enable you to control order or project budgets when you acquire fixed assets that are directly capitalized.  Fixed asset/AUC, material stock accounts make to order.

Statistical key figure:   Statistical figures are used to allocation of costs from one cost centre to other costs centers

Settlement profile:      define of control parameters for settlement

Settlement rule:          category, receiver, %

Allocation structure:    Sender cost elements, receiver category, and element

90: Cost element for balance sheet accounts in Financial Accounting
Cost elements of this category are generated automatically when you create cost elements in Controlling that have asset reconciliation accounts, that is, special balance sheet accounts, as corresponding general ledger accounts in Financial Accounting. 


You cannot change this cost element category in CO master data maintenance.


FI does not require CO account assignments of category 90. However, if you do enter a CO account assignment, this is only updated statistically even for true CO objects.


Cost elements of category 90 enable you to control the costs of an order or project budget during the acquisition of fixed assets that can be directly capitalized. To achieve this you enter a capital investment order or work breakdown structure (WBS) element in the appropriate field in the asset master data. The Asset Management (AM) component ensures that when the asset is acquired, the order or WBS element is automatically entered in the document.


In Controlling, orders and WBS elements are debited statistically. This statistical debit is checked with the budget during availability control.


The R/3 System does not support other uses of category 90 cost elements at present. You cannot plan using these cost elements.

PRODUCT COSTING

Origin Groups: Used for subdividing material and overhead cost

Costing sheet: Controls the calculation of overhead, combination of base row, overhead row and total/credit row.

Overhead key: The overhead key is used to determine order-specific or material-related overhead rates.

Cost component structure: A control of how the results of activity price calculation or material costing are stored.

Cost component:         Grouping of cost elements

Cost rollup:      indicator determines whether the costing results of a cost component are rolled up into the next-highest costing level (sales and admin cost/ cost of goods manufactured)

Costing Variant:           Determines how a cost estimate is performed and valuated. Date of valuation, bom, cost sheet, cost component structure are assigned.

Product cost collector:             A cost object in the Product Cost by Period component that collects the actual costs incurred in each period for the manufacture of a material

• Object in cost accounting used in Repetitive Manufacturing.

• A separate product cost collector can be created for each production version or material. The collected costs are settled to inventory at the end of the period.

• The functions performed for product cost collector during the period end closing process include:

• Work in process (WIP) calculation

• Variance calculation

• Settlement

• In Repetitive Manufacturing, all costs attributed to the production of a material are collected on a product cost collector and settled periodically (period-based Controlling).

• The product cost collector is settled periodically according to the posting period (for example monthly).

• For a material, product cost collector is made for each version

• The actual cost collected can be viewed through product cost collector.

Discrete manufacturing:          Order based production, product change frequently, varying of work centers,

Result analysis key:     Key specifying that the object is to be selected during results analysis or when work in process is calculated

Result analysis version:           A version that enables multiple valuations of the same object.

Line ID:            Groups the cost elements or revenue elements for the object according to origin

Period Process

Over head calculation (FI/CO entries)

WIP Calculation (No transaction)

Variance Calculation (No transaction)

Settlement (transaction, WIP entries and reversal)

COSTING AND PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS

Cost based COPA: Costing-based Profitability Analysis is the form of profitability analysis that groups costs and revenues according to value fields and costing-based valuation approaches

Account Based COPA: Account-based Profitability Analysis is a form of profitability analysis organized in accounts and using an account-based valuation approach.

Characteristics are nothing but those aspects on which we want to break down the profit logically such as customer, region product, product hierarchy, sales person etc.

Value Fields are nothing but the values associated with these characteristics.

Planning level – Planning package – Parameter set

Transfer of Billing Documents

Maintain Assignment of SD Conditions to CO-PA Value Fields

Transfer of Incoming Sales Orders

Maintain Assignment of SD Conditions to CO-PA Value Fields

Characteristics:            Company code, Product, Distribution channel, sales district, customer, chassis number.

Field Groups:   Gross sales, cost of goods sold, and customer discount

Costing based and account based COPA serve the same purpose... analyze profitability of the product ....

Costing based COPA should always be preferred over account based COPA, as it provides greater flexibility, some extra features, some extra planning mechanism and faster reports

Following are the point of differences between Costing based vs. Account based copa (ABC)

1. Account based copa uses transaction tables (COEP, BSEG) and hence affects performance of CO transactions.CBC takes values from CE1XXXX to CE4XXXX tables. XXXX means Operating Concern name.

2. Estimated / Statistical values not possible in ABC, say, calculating frieght upon invoice on a thumb rule basis to have better view of profitability per customer.. no valuation strategy in Accounts based COPA..

3. Reports based on line items not possible in ABC.. possible in CBC.

4 Actual Top Down distribution only available in CBC not in ABC .

5. Revaluation of actual data to plan data is not available in ABC

6. No key figure schemes are available in ABC

7. In ABC, settlement cost elements are used to settle values to prof segments unlike value fields in CBC

8. Production variance / COGS accounts shud be defined as cost element in ABC.

System creates a document for each type of COPA as it stores values in different tables and what you can do with this data also differs like you can do TOP down in Costing Based Copa..

Passive Split

Active split

Clearing lines/zero balance formation by balancing char: A vendor invoice was assigned to an incorrect segment and paid with this incorrect segment.

Passive: During clearing (during a payment, for example), the account assignments of the items to clear are inherited to  the clearing the line item(s) (sucha as payable line items)

Split Logic:      

The inheritance indicator ensures that the corresponding account assignment objects are

projected to the petty cash and tax line items, even without corresponding splitting rules.
