Displaying Cost Elements with Collective Processing 

Prerequisites

Collective processing allows you to display several cost elements in one workstep. Deletion with collective processing is described under Deleting Cost Elements.

1. To change cost elements in collective processing, choose Accounting ® Controlling ® Cost Element Accounting (or Cost Center Accounting) ® Master data ® Cost element ® Collective processing ® Display.
2. You can select cost elements by the following criteria:
1. Cost element or cost element interval
2. Cost element groups
3. All cost elements in a controlling area
4. Selection variant

You save selection criteria for the cost element selection in the selection variant. You can use the selection variant to select all cost elements with the same entries in one or more master data fields.

You can create, change or display the selection variants at this point.

3. Select one of the criteria and enter the appropriate selection parameters.
4. Enter a time period in which the selected cost elements are valid.

Cost elements for display must exist in the selected time period. However, you can make a selection even if the validity period for the cost element overlaps with the selected time period.

5. Choose Execute.

The system displays a list of all the selected cost elements.

The detail list display takes place with the ABAP List Viewer (see: ABAP List Viewer). You can display, sort and filter the data offered by the ABAP List Viewer.

6. To simplify future selections you can build groups from the cost elements contained in the list. To do this, choose Create group and enter a key and a description for the new cost element group.
