Periodic reposting

Periodic reposting is a cost controlling aid equivalent to manually- posted cost transfer

Periodic reposting can be used for plan or actual postings.

To simplify cost center planning, you can enter plan values for one center and repost them to other CO objects.

For actual postings, you can enter controlling-relevant postings in Financial Accounting which the R/3 System collects on an allocation cost center, which minimizes account assignments during document entry. At the end of a period, you can repost the collected costs to other CO objects.

Reposting uses keys (fixed values or calculated tracing factors) for allocation to the corresponding receiver objects (cost centers, internal orders, and so on).

The original primary cost element remains intact in periodic reposting. The line items do not receive updated information about senders and receivers.
