Overhead Costs (SAP Library - Process Orders (PP-PI-POR))

Overhead Costs

Use

Overhead costs are costs that can only be assigned to the process order indirectly, such as electricity costs or general storage costs.

Overhead costs are assigned to the process order by way of overhead surcharges, or they are determined in Activity-Based Costing (see also Dynamic Template Allocation in Actual). They are updated in the order under the cost elements defined in the costing sheet.

Process Flow

A costing variant is defined in Customizing for each order type and plant. The costing variant refers to a valuation variant, which refers to a costing sheet. The costing sheet determines what overhead surcharges are assigned to the order.

The costing sheet specifies:

To which direct costs surcharges are applied

Under which conditions a surcharge is calculated

How high, depending on these conditions, the surcharge percentage is

Which object (for example, a cost center) is credited under which cost element during actual postings
