Cost Object. Term identifying the cost object ID. Cost objects are the activity units of business whose costs are assigned based on the cost origins. The R/3 System distinguishes between the following types of cost objects:Cost objects represented by a cost object IDCost objects represented by objects from other components, such as production orders or sales order itemsCost objects in the following areas are represented by cost object IDs:Activity-Based Costing (CO-OM-ABC)In Activity-Based Costing, overhead is first assigned to cost centers and then to business processes. From there, the overhead is assigned to cost objects as process costs.Costs for Intangible Goods and Services (CO-PC-OBJ)In Costs for Intangible Goods and Services, costs can be analyzed on general cost objects.Product Cost by Period (CO-PC-OBJ)In Product Cost by Period you can create a cost object hierarchy to record actual costs that cannot be recorded at the material or order level. You can distribute the costs assigned to the nodes of a cost object hierarchy directly to the individual objects in the lowest cost object nodes at period-end closing (for example, product cost collectors) or you can settle the costs directly from the cost object hierarchy to a price difference account.Product Cost Controlling Information System (CO-PC)You can create further cost object IDs in the Product Cost Controlling Information System for CO product groups. You can create a cost object ID for each group, and assign materials to the cost object ID. The costs of the assigned materials appear in summarized form in the information system by product group.You can use CO product groups for product drilldown reports.The cost object type determines which functions can be used with the cost object. Functions for cost object hierarchies are performed on the assumption that the given cost object indicates the top node of the hierarchy. Maximum length: 12.
