Business Process: Value Added Partner (SAP Library - Activity-Based Costing (CO-OM-ABC))

Business Process: Value Added Partner

Use

You can display a report for internal value added as well as for external value added.

You can assign business processes to Value Added Types (you define these categories in the Implementation Guide (IMG) of ABC; see Set Attributes). This report also indicates which allocated costs or quantities belong to which value added type for each allocation partner.

The system lists actual/plan costs or quantities of a single business process or group (depending on the selection made). The list is structured according to the booked partner (for example, business process or cost center/activity type). The partner data is then organized according to value added types.

The report first shows the debit information (process consumption), under which the credit data appears (process purveying).

This report shows you which costs and quantities in the process are allocated with low or no value added. This answers questions such as:

Where is the potential to optimize?

The plan-actual comparison and the variances address questions like:

Does the purveying of processes concur with plan?
Does the resource consumption concur with plan?

Debits and credits are balanced in row Over/Under absorption.
