Cost Distribution (Organizational Unit)
Distribution of costs arising to several cost centers.
Costs incurred by an organizational unit are usually written to the cost center directly assigned to the organizational unit (master cost center) or to the cost center inherited by the organizational unit from a superior organizational unit. For more information, see Account Assignment (Organizational Unit).
Create a cost distribution if you wish to distribute costs to more than one cost center. Enter which portion of the costs you would like to distribute to which cost center. If the organizational unit is already assigned a master cost center, the system writes any remaining costs to the master cost center.
If the organizational unit was assigned to a master cost center before you created a cost distribution, you must reconcile cost distribution with this.
Subordinate organizational objects within an organizational unit (positions, work centers) inherit cost distribution, if they have not been assigned their own master cost center or cost distribution.
You will find the Cost Distribution tab page in the Organization and Staffing (Workflow) view.
The system displays a table, in which you can enter the percentage of costs that is to be distributed to each cost center. You can also assign orders and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) elements.
The fields on this tab page are integrated with Infotype 1018 from the Expert Mode of Organizational Management.
