Define
Calculation Bases
In this IMG activity you define a calculation
base for overhead costing. The calculation base determines to which cost
elements overhead is applied together.
For each
controlling area , you assign individual
cost elements or cost element intervals, or origins or origin
intervals, to the calculation bases.
- For
production overhead costs , you can differentiate between fixed
and variable costs for the calculation base. In this way, you can charge the
fixed and variable portions of the activity price differently for
activity types.
- For
material overhead costs , you can differentiate the materials
used. If you want to define different material overhead costs for particular
raw materials, you can define origin groups and define your own calculation
bases for particular origin groups.
Requirements
You have defined the origin groups:
Note
If you do not specify any origins for a cost
element interval, the SAP System considers all the origins in the relevant
interval.
Activities
To define a calculation base, proceed as
follows:
1. Choose
"New entries" to create a new calculation base.
2. Enter any
four-character key you want, and a name for the new calculation
base.
3. Select a row
and choose "Detail"
4. Enter the
individual cost elements or cost element groups.
If you have
subdivided your cost elements into origins, you can also specify individual
origins or origin intervals.
5. Save your
entries.
