Planning Secondary Order Costs
Procedure
To plan secondary order costs on cost centers, proceed as follows:
In master data maintenance, create a cost element for the internal settlement of order costs (that is, settlement to a cost center).
Enter these settlement cost elements in the selection criteria for the
Cost element
characteristic.
This ensures that you can plan the settlement cost elements.

Result
The system:
Credits the sender cost center by the product of the plan activity input quantity multiplied by the price of the activity type.
Debits the receiver cost center by this amount under a secondary cost element for the order cost settlement (category 21)
If activity input from a cost center has been planned for an order, the system updates the scheduled activity and the resulting credit
on the sender cost center for plan-integrated orders
Does not update scheduled activity and resulting credits on the sender cost center for non-plan-integrated orders
Caution
If you have planned activity input from cost centers for plan-integrated orders, you may not plan any secondary order costs on the receiver cost centers using secondary order cost planning. Otherwise, this would result in credits on sender cost centers being posted twice.
