Assign Cost Elements to Value Categories (SAP Library - Maintenance and Service Processing)

Assign Cost Elements to Value Categories

In this section, you define a cost element , a cost element interval or a cost element group as a value category.

Recommendation

The checking of whether cost elements are available is improved if you define a cost element interval instead of a cost element group.

Activities

1. Choose a value category and call up the detail screen.

2. Define a cost element, a cost element interval or a cost element group as a value category.

Further Notes

If you subsequently change value categories, you have to restructure the files PMCO and PMCOQT. For restructuring, you use the program RIPMCO00.

It is also possible to change the value categories if records have already been placed in the files.

In addition, you must restructure the info structures in the Plant Maintenance Information System if you are updating cost and quantity key figures based on value categories.

You can restructure the information structures using report 'RIPMS001'.
