environment (CO)

Controlling (CO)

A group of environment functions that supplies cost driver information from the SAP environment (and possibly external systems) to define a template.

A template is always created for a specific environment. It can access all functions that belong to that environment and its sub-environments.

The typical environment offers only those functions that are useful in the particular context.

Example:

The standard system contains environments for allocating process costs to production orders and sales orders using templates.
