Prerequisites
The cost object category determines whether you must create this settlement rule manually (manual account assignment) or whether it is generated by the system automatically at the time of the first settlement (settlement through material account determination). You only need to create settlement rules separately for each cost object node if you are using manual account assignment.
You define the cost object category in Customizing for Product Cost Controlling in Cost Object Controlling under Product Cost by Period
® Master Data ® Cost Object Hierarchies.Procedure
If you are settling with manual account assignment, you define the settlement rules for the individual nodes as follows:
The screen Product Cost by Period appears.
The screen Change Cost Object: Initial Screen appears.
The screen Maintain Settlement Rule: Overview appears.
If the Variances indicator in the settlement profile is selected, the system generates a second distribution rule for settlement of the variances to Profitability Analysis automatically on the basis of the settings in Customizing for Product Cost Controlling.
