In this IMG activity you can maintain automatic CO assignments for a G/L account with the corresponding cost type. Please not that you should only make real CO assignments. All additional assigned CO assignments should only be used for statistical purposes.
If you want to assign certain costs (e.g. wait time costs) to a certain cost center, you can control this by assigning the corresponding cost type to the required cost center.
The settings that you maintain here are proposed during shipment cost processing and can be changed manually.
In this IMG activity you define automatic additional account assignments for postings to primary cost elements.
Automatic assignment occurs during postings in external accounting (within the FI, MM, or SD components) if you did not enter a CO account assignment object (cost center, order, or project) for a cost accounting relevant posting. This is always the case if the R/3 System automatically created the line item in question.
Examples of Automatically Created Items
Possible automatic additional account assignments include:
You can differentiate the additional assignment according to various criteria (such as company code, valuation area, business area).

In addition to cost centers, you must create the additional objects (such as orders or profit centers) if the R/3 System is to use these in automatic account assignment.
