Suppose a television station would like to use the SAP System to control the costs for a daily newscast. The station would like to review the costs for the newscast at the end of every month.
The television station does the following:
– Name of the program
– Person responsible
– Business area the program is assigned to
– Currency in which the costs will be carried
– Expenses for travel, hotel, and so forth
– Internal activities required to produce each newscast
– Materials required to produce each newscast
– In the Financial Accounting component, it enters the G/L account postings for travel expenses, hotel expenses, and so forth with reference to the newscast.
– In the Controlling component, it specifies the newscast as the receiver for internal activity allocation.
– In the Materials Management component, it specifies the newscast when a material withdrawal is made for it.
