Controlling (CO)

Object for monitoring period-based accrual between expenses posted in the Financial Accounting component (FI) and accrual costs debited in the Controlling component (CO). You can distribute expenses from Financial Accounting as accrued costs over multiple periods.

You create the associated accrual cost element with cost element category "Accrual cost element/overhead" or "Accrual cost element/ target=actual".

Example:

Vacation and holiday bonuses calculated in the Cost Center Accounting component (CO-OM-CCA). The R/3 System debits these costs to the corresponding cost center and credits them to an accrual order.
