SAP Implementation Overview

 Normally when a Company intends to start SAP in its Company, it purchases SAP software from SAP.

 Price of SAP software is based on the Number of Users.

 Once company purchased the software, it appoints another Company (ex. WIPRO, TCS, IBM) for
implementation purpose.

 Both the purchaser and implementor will delegate its employees for implementation of SAP. They are
called as Core Team Members. Structure of Core Team will be like

Company Module want to Implement Consultant Company

 Costing Head  CO Module.  CO Consultant

 Purchase Head  MM Module.  MM Consultant
 Accounts Head  FI Module.  FI Consultant
 Sales Head  SD Module.  SD Consultant
 IT Head, etc  Implementation.  ABAB/BASIS Consultant

SAP - Project Lifecycle

Evaluation
Evaluation may be a decision to choose between different software vendors or selection of products from a single
vendor.
Project Preparation
Since a SAP implementation intends to map the organization processes to the ones defined by SAP, the
implementation needs to have on-board people with complete knowledge of the organization business processes.
The project preparation phase, amongst other things, aims to identify this team.
Business Blueprint
A business blueprint includes what modules of a SAP product would be used and the mapping of the existing
business processes to the processes provided by SAP.
Realization
The actual work of customizing the SAP software to be in sync with the organizations business processes is done
in this phase. It includes customization of existing SAP package and solution along with the development of new
objects based on requirement.
Testing
The changes made in the realization phase need to be tested in isolation as well as in a consolidated manner
using real-time data. This is done in the testing phase.
Final Preparation
The production system is prepared using the changes from the realization and testing phases. Certain activities
need to be done directly in the production system as well. These activities take place during the final preparation
phase.
Go-live
In this stage, the final product is released to the end-users. The go-live may be done in a Big Bang (all modules at
one go) or in a phase-by-phase manner.
Sustain / Support
The project now moves into the “sustain and support” phase where the end-users’ issues would be resolved and
ongoing maintenance of the system would be taken care of.

Basis Consultant will install Server and Create the Client Numbers. There are Minimum 3 type of Clients will be
created by Basis Consultant. It is called System Landscape
After completing all necessary Setup & installation, Basics Consultant will create user IDs for Business Users as
well as for Consultants to start the work.

What is Fiscal Year in SAP?
Fiscal year means Accounting year. The Accounting year means the period of 12 months for which the
companies prepare financial statements.

Fiscal Year

Non-Calender Shortened Fiscal

Calender Year
Year Year

It contains the period of 12 It contains the period of 12 If period is less than 12 months that
months starting JAN TO DEC months starting from the any is called as Shortened Fiscal year

and ending with before
calendar year month in the
next calendar year

April 2019 To March 2020

July 2019 To June 2020
Oct 2019 To Sep,2020

Pre-Defined Variants Available in SAP

 V3 April to March 12 normal + 4 special periods
 K3 calendar year 12 normal + 3 special periods
 K4 calendar year 12 normal + 4 special periods.
How to identify Fiscal Year in Non-Calendar Accounting Year?
2020 2021 Fiscal year
April 2020-March 2021 9 3 2020
July 2020-June 2021 6 6 2020
October 2020-September 2021 3 9 2021
It no of periods are above 6 months in next year take next year otherwise same year as Fiscal year.

Why to De-select Calendar Year Check Box: If we select this check box, System will consider January
as Period 1 in the Fiscal Year and April will be as 4th period. But we require April will be treated as 1st
period and January will be 10th in Periods.

3. Posting Period Variant

What is Posting Period Variant in SAP?
SAP FI posting periods are used to open and close periods of a financial year. Posting periods are
maintained in a posting period variant that is assigned to a company code. One posting period variant can
be assigned to more than one company code.
Posting periods can be maintained for each account type
All account types (+).

4. Field Status Variant

What is Field Status Variant in SAP?
Field status variant is the collection of field status groups. Field status variant enables to define required
fields during entry of transactions.
Field status group is maintained in GL account. Field status group defines the fields while posting to the
GL. In other words, Field status group define a field as optional, suppressed or mandatory.
Field status Variant is used to define the fields as entry fields and hidden fields used for input to cost
centre, profit centre, plant, etc. Field status variant is assigned to company code.
Field status Variant is a tool to assign same set of properties to one or more object. Field status variant
helps users to input only required fields while booking business transactions.

Below is the available field status -

 Suppress − The field is hidden on the screen.

 Optional − The field is available on the screen and can keep it blank or fill it.
 Require − The field is available on the screen and must fill it in all scenarios.
 Display − The field is available on the screen. But it's greyed out and cannot fill anything in here.

5. Document Number Ranges?

Document number range in SAP uniquely identifies every transaction within a fiscal year in a company
code. These are used to define how numbers are assigned to documents. For every document number
range, the following must be specified.
 A two-character code

 Period until when (a year value) it is valid

 An interval from which it will be chosen and

 Whether it will be used as internal or external assignment

 The document number range intervals should not overlap.

Document Type Description

AB General document

CO CO posting

DG Customer credit memo

DZ Customer payment

DR Customer invoice

KZ Vendor payment

KG Vendor credit memo

DOCUMENT -> DOCUMENT NUMBER RANGE -> COPY TO COMPANY CODE

6. Tolerance Groups

SAP Tolerance Groups define posting authorizations of users in SAP ERP system. These posting
permissions define the amounts that certain groups of accounting clerks are allowed to post. SAP
Tolerance Groups determine various amount limits for employees and predefine the maximum amount an
employee is permitted to post, the maximum amount the employee can post as line items in a customer or
a vendor account, the maximum cash discount percentage the employee can assign in a line item, and the
maximum allowed tolerance for payment differences for the employee.

In accounting, tolerances are divided into three groups. The three tolerance groups are:

 Employee tolerances
 General ledger account tolerances
 Customer or vendor tolerances

CFO - 50Lac, SR. MANAGER -30Lac, MANAGER - 25Lac, ACCOUNTANT- 15Lac, ACCOUNT EXE. -5Lac

7. Chart of Accounts

The chart of accounts in SAP (COA) is a group of general ledger (G/L) accounts that records the
organizational transactions in a structured way. Each general ledger account consists account number,
name and control information.

The FI chart of accounts represents the list of GL accounts that are used to meet the daily needs and the
operating country’s legal requirement in a company. The master chart of accounts must be assigned to
each company code.

11. Document Reversals

1.) When we post a Wrong Entry in SAP, we have to go for Reversal or pass a Rectification Entry.

 The normal reversal posting causes the system to post the incorrect debit as a credit and the
incorrect credit as a debit
 The normal reversal posting therefore causes an additional increase In the transaction figures

A.) Individual Document Reversal

1. Create Reversal Reason- TC - s_alr_87002472

IMG - Financial Accounting - G/L Accounting - Business Transactions- Adjustment Postings/Reversal - Define
Reasons for Reversal.

2. Post Some Entries - FB01

3. Individual Reversals: TC - FB08

B.) Mass Reversal

5. Post Some Entries - FB01

6. Check the Line-Item Report of Outstanding- TC - FBL3N

7. Mass Reversal TC-F.80

8. Check the Line-Item Report of Outstanding- TC - FBL3N

2.) Negative Reversal

• The negative reversal posting posts the incorrect debit as a credit and the incorrect credit as a
debit but this time the posted amount is not added to the transaction figures, but is subtracted
from the transaction figures of the other side of the account

• This sets the transaction figures back to as they were before the Incorrect posting took place

12.) Hold Documents:

It is a temporary document this is user for adjustment purpose or at the time of posting we do not know either
debit or credit.

Run Program "RFTMPBLU" from SE38 for conversion of Hold Documents. This Option is for converting the
Documents of older version SAP4.7 to New Version ECC6.0. This is given at Client Level but not at Company Code
level. This is one-time Exercise for each client.

1. Go to TC - SE38

2. Enter program^ RFTMPBLU Click on execute

3. Select “no termination for read error" option Click on execute

4. Now the document can be held without any messages.

13.) Park Documents:

SAP FI provides a Park Facility for the document which allows the user to save the document but the amount is
not posted in the G/L accounts.
This allows to review the document later reviewed by a higher authority Personnel who has appropriate posting
amount authorization. Once approved, the document is posted in the G/L accounts.

B.) Recurring Document

 Some business transactions are repeated regularly every period or quarter such as rent and
insurance. SAP gives the Recurring Entry option to make this entry one time and run it
every period and have the same financial effect.

 The following data never change in the Recurring Entry: Posting Key – Account – Line-
item Amounts.

 You enter the recurring data in a Recurring Entry original document and then run the
Recurring Entry Program

Ex: Fixed Exp.

8. Delete Recurring Document F.56

16.) Accrual /Deferral documents (Month End Provision)

What Is the Difference Between an Accrual and a Deferral?
Accrued expenses are expenses a company needs to account for, but for which no invoices have been
received and no payments have been made. Accrued expenses would be recorded under the section
“Liabilities” on a company’s balance sheet.

Accrued revenue are amounts owed to a company for which it has not yet created invoices for. They are
recorded as “Assets” on a balance sheet.

Deferred expenses are expenses a company has prepaid. They are recorded as “Assets” on a balance
sheet.

Deferred revenue is income a company has received for its products or services, but has not yet invoiced
for. They are considered “Liabilities” on a balance sheet.

Accrual Concept of Accounting: It is the process of Accounting all expenses and revenue in
the month in which they are incurred and derived even though they are not actually paid or
received.

Exp: - 10th of every month salary paid Rs. 5000

On 31st Provision for Salary

Salary Exp. A/c Dr. 5000
To Salary Payable A/c 5000

On 1st of next month Provision for Salary (Reverse)

 FI-ACCOUNTS PAYABLE
Accounts Payable (AP) is an important application of SAPFICO module that helps to record
and manage accounting data of all vendors. In SAP, sundry creditors are called accounts
payables and sundry debtors are called accounts receivable.
AP Accounts payable accounting is also called as sub-ledger accounting, as the business
transactions are carried out individually in the vendor accounts. All the transactions that are
processed in accounts payable are recorded directly in the general ledger account.
SAP FI accounts payable can be integrated with SAP FI – GL (General Ledger), FI-AA (Asset
Accounting), SAP MM (Material Management), etc. The deliveries and invoices are managed
according to the vendors.

The manual payment can be performed in two variants that will be explained further in this
lesson:

 Partial payment: it is used in cases when a partial payment for a certain open item
is needed. The system will keep outstanding both documents: the original open
item (invoice) and the partial payment until full outstanding amount will be settled.
 Residual payment: it is related to partial payments also, but the original open item
(invoice) is cleared with the residual payment and the system will create a new
outstanding document.

Reset Cleared Items (AP/AR/GL)

• Documents with cleared items cannot be reversed. The document
must first be reset by using the Transaction code: FBRA

Special G/L Transactions
Down payment or in other words, Advance payment is one of the types of Special G/L transactions in
SAP.
Special G/L transactions are transactions in the Accounts receivable and Accounts payable, which are
displayed separately in the general ledger and the sub ledgers due to internal reasons or for certain report
purposes

Deductible and Non-Deductible Taxes

Generally, company offsets output tax (payable) against input tax (already paid).
Net tax payable = Output tax (payable) – input tax (already paid)
But tax authority can also declare a portion of input tax which cannot be set off against output tax. This portion
of input tax which cannot be offset against output tax is knows as non-deductible tax.

Deductible input tax ⇒ Input tax which can be offset against output tax

Non-deductible input tax⇒ Input tax which cannot be offset against output tax.
Accounting for deductible input tax and non-deductible input tax
Deductible input tax is posted in a separate GL account since it needs to be offset against output tax.
Non-deductible input tax amount is added back to expense account. Since this portion of tax is not going to be
claimed against output tax hence it is treated as increase in cost or expense.
Example:
Company purchased goods worth 100 with 18% IGST (deductible)
Purchase account DR 100
IGST Input tax DR 18
To Vendor 118
Company Conveyance Charge worth 100 with 18% IGST (non-deductible).

Reverse Charge in GST

Reverse Charge

Reverse charge is a scenario in Taxation, where, the tax paying entity creates a tax liability on it self.

One of the examples of this is India GST, where reverse charge needs to be applicable under specific
scenarios, such as Purchase from Unregistered Vendors, Import of services and Purchase of specific Goods
and Services.

To understand it better, let us take an example. An organization purchases goods from a supplier. That
supplier is not eligible/registered to pay taxes to government. The rule in that particular tax regime tells that, in
such case, the buyer needs to create a tax liability on itself and submit the tax amount to government. This
concept is called reverse charge.

Let’s talk about it from an accounting point of view.

Purchase without Reverse Charge (Regular Purchase)

In case of a normal purchase, the accounting entry will be as it below.

Purchase account DR 100

IGST Input tax DR 18
To Vendor 118

Purchase with Reverse Charge

In case of a reverse charge, the accounting entry will be as below.

Expenses Dr 100

Vendor Cr 100

IGST Input tax Dr 18

Reverse IGST Payable Cr 18

2. Define Official Withholding Tax Keys:-

If the national tax authorities use official withholding tax keys to identify the different withholding tax
types, you can define these official names for your tax codes here. Here we configure the various tax keys
which are applicable in different scenarios.

Path :- IMG > Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings>Withholding Tax‡ Extended
Withholding Tax > Basic Settings > Define Official Withholding Tax Keys
 (194J Payment of Professional Fees 10%)

3. Define Reasons for Exemption:-

5. Define Business Places:-

Business places are the location where tax is deducted. A company has various offices at Head Office,
Regional offices etc. Tax can be deducted at any of these places. Withholding tax tracking is thus done
based on business places. The use of business places is mandatory. Create a business place for each tax
deduction account number (TAN) that your company has.

Path :- IMG > Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Withholding Tax > Extended
Withholding Tax > Basic Settings > India > Define Business Places

Withholding Tax > Basic Settings > India > Define Section Code
Withholding Tax Type:-

 The withholding tax type controls the essential calculation options for extended withholding tax.
 While the withholding tax code only controls the percentage rate of the withholding tax.
 You must enter the withholding tax type in the customer/vendor withholding tax master data and
in the company code master data.

7. Define Withholding Tax Type for Invoice Posting:-

Here you define the withholding tax type for the posting at the time of entering an invoice. This
withholding tax type does not have any effect on the payment.
Path :- IMG > Financial Accounting ‡ Financial Accounting Global Settings > Withholding Tax >
Extended Withholding Tax > Calculation‡ Withholding Tax Type >
Define Withholding Tax Type for Invoice Posting

8. Define Withholding Tax Type for Payment Posting:-

13. Define Accounts for Withholding Tax to be Paid Over:-

Path :- IMG > Financial Accounting > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Withholding Tax‡ Extended
Withholding Tax > Postings > Accounts for Withholding Tax > Define Accounts for Withholding Tax
to be Paid Over

14. Update withholding tax codes in the vendor master:-

 We assume that the vendor master is already created. We are changing the vendor master data with the
withholding tax codes details. Use transaction code FK02/XK02

Defining Minimum and Maximum Amounts in Withholding Tax

We can define the minimum and maximum amounts at one of two levels, depending on the setting on the corresponding
withholding tax type for base amounts or withholding tax amounts.
 Define Min/Max Amounts for Withholding Tax Types
 Define Min/Max Amounts for Withholding Tax Codes

Make the following settings:

 Withholding tax minimum amount
If the withholding tax amount calculated is lower than the minimum amount you specify here, then the system calculates the
withholding tax amount as being zero.
Ex. Minimum withholding tax amount is 1,000, Means if we post any Entry and withholding tax amount is less than 1000, then
the system calculates the withholding tax amount as being zero.

 Withholding tax maximum amount

If the withholding tax amount calculated is higher than the withholding tax maximum amount you specify here, then the system
uses this maximum amount in the withholding tax calculation.
Ex. Maximum withholding tax amount is 10,000, Means if we post any Entry and withholding tax amount is Higher than 10,000,
then the system uses this maximum amount in the withholding tax calculation.

Defining Withholding Tax Formulas

It is use when we want to deduct Withholding Tax slab wise
Ex.
Base Amounts Withholding Tax
10,000 0%
20,000 10%
30,000 20%
Above 30,000 30%

 Bank Reconciliation Statement (BRS)
Bank reconciliation statement is a report or statement prepared by the business to match the bank transactions
recorded in the books of accounts with the bank statement. The bank reconciliation statement helps to check the
correctness of the entries recorded in the books of accounts and thereby, ensures the accuracy of bank balances.

Why bank reconciliation statements are prepared?

 Cheques Issued but not cleared in the bank

 Difference in cheque deposited and cheque credited date
 Date of cheque issued towards payment and date on which it is debited is different
 Cheque issued or received is not presented to the bank for clearing
 Bank interests, charges etc. are not accounted for. Reason being it is not known till you reconcile.
 Banks can also do mistake in debiting or crediting the transactions
 Just like banks, you too can make mistake in accounting the bank transactions in books of accounts and so
on….

Due to the reasons listed above, the closing bank balance in your books of accounts and actual bank balance as
per bank will not match. This means, the bank balance what you think you have it your bank is not the one
available in the bank. Deciding basis, the book balance will put you in an uncomfortable situation.

To avoid those situations, bank reconciliation statements are prepared. This statements simply matches the
bank transactions as per company books with bank statement so that you always have accurate bank balance
reflecting in the books of accounts.

Dual Control Functionality in SAP
Sensitive Data Fields provides dual control function in SAP to provide more security when changes are made in
Customer and Vendor Master Data records. After activating Sensitive Data Fields functionality, changes done by
one profile (Ex. Clerk) in AP and AR Master Data has to be confirmed by another profile (authorized person),
thereby facilitating strong control over unauthorized modification. Changes made in relevant Customer or Vendor
Master Data are visible but the account is automatically blocked for payment run till the changes are confirmed.

 VALIDATIONS IN SAP DOCUMENTS
While entering a transaction into FI module, system will validate the combination that is entered and if its matches
with the requirement that is defined in validation rule in SAP then it will allow you to post the transaction or else it
will show an error message that the combination is not allowed.

 By configuring the validation rule, the entered data is validated according to that validation rule

 The data is posted after it is validated as per the validation rule

 The validation rules are defined by using Boolean logic

 When you define a validation rule, the system checks that validation rule to ensure that it Is syntactically correct

 You can also assign several steps with one validation instead of creating individual validations per step. The
maximum number of steps possible in one validation are 999

 SUBSTITUTION IN SAP DOCUMENTS
In Substitution, the values entered into the SAP system are validated according to a prerequisite defined by the
user. If the prerequisite is met the system replaces the value entered with other values.
 Substitutions are not supported by the document parking feature. Substitutions can only be made
with posting transactions after turning parked documents into accounting documents.

 It works in an empty field and replaces the existing value in that field as per the substitution rule

 Foreign Currency Transactions
Organizations can have business transactions in multiple counties where the currency is differing from
local country. It is a common exercise to conduct transactions in other countries for organizations which
is referred to as Foreign Currency Transaction.
If the Document is posted, the local currency amount is derived by using currency exchange rate existing
at the time of document posting.
Exchange rate might change the amount in local currency derived using exchange rate at the time of
reporting will not be same as local currency amount in posted document. Impact of exchange rate changes
needs to be considered by posting adjustment entries.

 Foreign Currency Valuation
Organizations do have transaction in foreign currency. When document is entered in foreign currency (document
currency other than company code currency), local currency amount is derived by using currency exchange rate existing
at the time of document posting. But later on, exchange rate might change hence amount in local currency derived using
exchange rate at the time of reporting will not be same as local currency amount in posted document. Impact of exchange
rate changes needs to be taken into account by posting adjustment entries.

Example:
Company code currency : INR
Foreign Currency currency : USD
Example 1: On 15 May, I posted vendor invoice of 100 USD. Due Date 15 June
(Currency exchange rate on 15 May : 1 USD = 70 INR)
Inventory A/c Dr. 100 USD (100*70=7000)
To Vendor A/c 100 USD (100*70=7000)
Let’s say month end report is to be prepared on 31st May
(Currency exchange rate on 31th May: 1 USD = 71 INR)
To arrive at exact position of the day of reporting, below adjustment accounting entry should be
posted:
Loss on Forex(Unrealize) A/c Dr. 100 (1USD*100)
To Balance Sheet Adjustment A/c 100(1USD*100)
Note :- This is not actual Loss we need to Reverse it 01st June
Balance Sheet Adjustment A/c Dr. 100
To Loss on Forex(Unrealize) A/c 100

On 15 June, Payment Made to vendor invoice of 100 USD

(Currency exchange rate on 15 June : 1 USD = 73 INR)
Vendor A/c Dr. 7000 ((70*100=7000)
Loss on Forex(Realize) A/c Dr. 300 (100USD*3)

 Dunning
When the customer misses the payment for the outstanding invoice within specified payment due
date. The dunning letter is generated via sap program and send at customer address for reminding
the customer outstanding payment.

The dunning system enables to trace liable customers who have not paid their open invoices within a
given time span. It enables you to handle the process from, for example, sending a reminder to
customers of their outstanding payments through to referring such customers to collections
agencies.

Step to Configuration :-

1. Define Dunning Areas.(OB61)

In this step, you can define your dunning areas. Dunning areas are used if several organizational
units are responsible for carrying out dunning within one company code. These organizational units
are referred to as dunning areas. The dunning area can correspond, for example, to a profit center, a
distribution channel, a sales organization or a business area.

 Controlling
SAP Controlling (CO) is another important SAP module offered to an organization. It supports
coordination, monitoring, and optimization of all the processes in an organization. The main purpose of
SAP controlling module is planning. objective of controlling is to manage the costs and revenue in the
organization. Controlling (CO) and Financial Accounting (FI) are independent components in the SAP
system. The data flow between the above two components takes place on a regular basis.

SAP CO includes managing and configuring master data that covers cost and profit centres, internal
orders, and other cost elements and functional areas.

Components of SAP CO :-
The SAP CO module is compromised of many sub-components, such as:

 Cost Element Accounting − Cost and Revenue Element Accounting provides you with an overview of
the costs and revenues that occur in an organization. Most of the values are moved automatically from
Financial Accounting to Controlling. Cost and Revenue Element Accounting only calculates costs which
either do not have another expense or only one expense in Financial Accounting.
 Cost Center Accounting − Cost Centre Accounting is used for controlling purposes within your
organization.
 Profit Center Accounting − It is used to evaluate profit or loss of individual, independent areas within an
organization. These areas are responsible for their costs and revenues.
 Activity-Based-Accounting − It is used to analyse cross-departmental business processes.
 Internal Orders − Internal orders in SAP CO are used to collect and control according to the job that
incurred them. You can assign budgets for these jobs that is system monitored to ensure that they are not
exceeded from the set budgets.
 Product Cost Controlling − It calculates the cost for manufacture a product, or to provide a service. It
allows you to calculate the price at which you can profitably marketed it.
 Profitability Analysis − It is used to analyse the profit or loss of an organization by individual market
segments. Profitability Analysis provides a basis for decision-making. For example, it is used to determine
price, conditioning, customer, distribution channel, and market segment.
Step to Configuration Controlling area :-

1. Maintain Controlling area.(OKKP)

Menu Path :- SPRO => IMG => Controlling => General controlling => Organization =>
Maintain controlling area.

2. Maintain Number Ranges for Controlling Documents.(KANK)

Menu Path :- SPRO => IMG => Controlling => General controlling => Organization => Maintain
Number Ranges for Controlling Documents.

3. Maintain Version(OKEQ)
CO versions in SAP are used to support planned activity and actual activity. You must maintain versions in SAP
for planned & actual activity. When you create controlling area in SAP, version 0 is automatically generated in
SAP. SAP system allows you to maintain number of versions as per your requirements and all versions are
controlling area dependent.

Menu Path :- SPRO => IMG => Controlling => General controlling => Organization => Maintain
Versions.
 Cost Element Accounting
Cost Element Accounting is cost carrier which carries the cost from SAP FI to SAP CO. It
Provides with an overview of the costs and revenues that occur in an organization.

Types of Cost Element:-

1. Primary Cost Element - It carries the cost from FI to CO. the GL account must first be created in
SAP FI. the same GL number must be used for the cost element.
 01 Primary Cost Element : It is used for expenses GL Accounts other than sales Deduction.
 12 Sales Deduction : This cost come from Sales and Distribution.
 22 External Settlement : It is used to transfer internal order cost from CO to FI.
 11 Revenue : It is used for Sales/Revenue GL Accounts.

2. Secondary Cost Element - It carries the cost from CO to CO. It used for internal allocation
activities. no relation to GL accounts in SAP FI.
 21 Internal Settlement : It is used to Settle services order to cost object (Cost center, Internal
Order, Production order.
 31 WIP/RA : It is used in Product costing.
 41 Indirect Overhead : It is used in Indirect Overhead
 42 Assessment CE : Transfer cost from one cost center to another cost center.
 43 Activity CE(Direct OH) : It is used to transfer cost center cost to product cost.

Cost Element Categories: -

 Cost element categories classify primary and secondary cost element categories determines
whether you can post to a cost element directly or indirectly.

 Direct posting-you can post an amount to an account by specifying GL account number and
amount auto post directly to all primary cost element.

 Indirect posting- Posting only possible for secondary cost element.

 Cost Center Accounting
Cost center is the area of responsibility where costs are incurred. Cost center represents one of the small
units of responsibility within an organization structure.
In cost center accounting, operational expenses are captured by three separate master data objects such as
cost centres, activity types and statistical key figures.
Cost centres are maintained within a hierarchy, which is a representative of the implementing company’s
internal reporting / accountability structure. The hierarchy development is central to all cost accounting
reporting within the controlling module. Cost Center are like Department or Division of an organization.

Cost Center Planning

We do cost center planning as a target oriented measure to compare the plan cost with it. Cost
Center Planning is used to maintain figures for cost, prices and key figures for cost center in
defined period of planning. It is a part of business planning process and is required for
standard costing.
Cost Center planning to achieve following functions −

 To Plan the structure

 To control and monitor business growth
 To perform target comparison-plan/actual or target/actual
