Manual Actual Postings (CO-OM-CCA)
Purpose
You post actual values manually to enable you to monitor costs on an ongoing basis. These postings enable you to recognize
variances at an early stage, and to take the necessary counter measures.You are assisted in entering manual actual postings by a user-definable reporting, which covers periodic actual cost statements, plan/actual comparisons, and comparison reports based on periodic actual/actual comparisons. You can use this reporting for example to compare the actual costs of the previous period with the actual costs of the current period.
Features
Actual cost entry
involves transferring primary costs from upstream components to the Controlling (CO) application component. In the CO component, this transfer occurs real-time from the components Financial Accounting (FI), Asset Accounting (FI-AA), Materials Management (MM), Production Planning (PP) and Payroll Accounting (PA-PA). This is achieved by entering a cost accounting object (such as a cost center or an internal order) during account assignment.For more information on entering primary costs, see
Entering Primary Costs.Primary costs entered in other systems are allocated further using internal allocations and as true to source as is possible. To enable this, costs are determined for each business transaction, based on the valued internal activity. They are then posted real-time to the sender and receiver object(s) (debit and credit postings).
In the case of internal repostings, costs are reposted from one object to another in order to make the necessary adjustments. This enables you to produce up-to-date statements during the current fiscal period, showing the costs incurred on the cost centers and the cost behavior pattern.
The following business-transaction based repostings or allocations are available in Cost Center Accounting:
