Displaying Plan Data in the Organizational or Controlling View 

When you create a personnel cost plan, you define whether the system is to display the data generated during the cost planning run in the organizational view or in the controlling view. Depending on what you define, you perform all subsequent steps for this plan based on the organizational unit or the account assignment object (for example, cost center). This means:

·        The plan data is displayed for each organizational unit or account assignment object.  You can also display the plan data that the system created in the organizational view in the controlling view. You cannot display data created in the controlling view in the organizational view because several organizational units can be assigned to one account assignment object.

·        In detail planning, you edit plan data per organizational unit or per account assignment object. If you have created the plan in the controlling view and want to add a new position, for example, add the new position to the account assignment object and not the organizational unit.

·        If you determine the dependent cost items again in detail planning because you have changed a base cost item, for instance, the system calculates this depending on the organizational unit, if necessary. This is the case if you have made the appropriate settings in Customizing for the Organizational Grouping of Organizational Objects as Cost Objects feature.

If you created the personnel cost plan in the controlling view and several organizational units are assigned to a cost center, a unique assignment of cost items to organizational units is not possible. Therefore, the system cannot calculate the cost items exactly for each organizational unit. In this case, the system determines the first organizational unit to which the cost center is assigned as master cost center. It uses this organizational unit to determine the organizational grouping.

If you want to transfer plan data to Compensation Management or Training and Event Management, SAP recommends you create the personnel cost plan in the organizational view. The compensation budget and business event budget are related to organizational units. If you create the personnel cost plan in the controlling view, however, you can no longer assign the costs exactly to the organizational units. Consequently, the costs are not correctly represented in the budget.
