Cost center planning is a sub-area of the overall business planning. For this reason, the integration and reconciliation of cost center planning are of particular importance.

During planning you must manually reconcile the data in the various application components.

The following areas must be reconciled:

• Planned activities and capacities with the activities and capacities of Production Planning (PP)
• Material costs with Materials Management (MM)
• Maintenance costs with Plant Maintenance (PM)
• Accrual costs with Financial Accounting (FI)

The following costs can be transferred:

• Personnel costs from Human Resources (HR)
• Cost accounting depreciation from Assets Management (AM)
