Defining Reports For Overhead Cost Controlling (SAP Library

Defining Reports For Overhead Cost Controlling

Use

In Overhead Cost Controlling, you use the Report Painter or Report Writer for report definition. You use the CCSS and RWCOOM reporting tables for this. These tables provide the characteristics and key figures that you require for report definition in Cost Center Accounting, on internal orders, projects, and so on.

In report definition, you need to differentiate between totals record reports and line item reports. You can create only totals records reports with the RWCOOM reporting table. The CCSS reporting table enables you to define totals records reports as well as line item reports.

Recommendation

Do not use the Report Painter to define line item reports. Instead, use the line item display, and use display variants that meet your requirements. This has the following advantages compared with definition using the Report Painter:

Improved performance

Text columns are available

All fields of the line item are available

Integration

Special Features of The RWCOOM Reporting Table:

You can use the RWCOOM reporting table to create user-defined reports in Overhead Cost Controlling.

In the standard system, these reporting tables are assigned to the following libraries:

1CT: Cost centers: Special reports

6O2: Internal orders: Special reports

9A2: Business processes: Special reports

The RWCOOM reporting table contains key figures, for example, for budgets and activity prices, which are not contained in the CCSS reporting table.

You can find examples of report definition that refer to the RWCOOM report table in the following standard reports:

List: Budget/Actual/Commitment (6OBU-001)

List: Budget/Actual/Commitment (6OPL-001)

Area: Actual/Budget/Commitment (1SET-001)

Cost Centers: Cost component split (1SKS-001)

When To Use CCSS And When To Use RWCOOM

You must use the RWCOOM reporting table for the following reports:

Report	Sample Report
Budget reports for internal orders	6OBU
Overall plan reports for internal orders	6OPL
Cost component split reports	1SKS
Budget reports	1SET
Reports with any rolling reporting timeframes	1SRJ
Settlement reports for internal orders that display the assets (assets under construction) settled to	6AO1
Price reports	KSBT (transaction)

Note

In the CCSS reporting table, there are more characteristics available than in the RWCOOM reporting table. Therefore, you should use the CCSS reporting table to define your reports if they are not listed in the table above.

Instead of the following characteristics: Costs in controlling area currency (SCKG), costs in object currency (SWOG), costs in the transaction currency (SWTG), and costs in the reporting currency, the RWCOOM reporting table provides the Currency type (CURTYPE) characteristic. You use this when defining the report, to specify if it is to be displayed in the controlling area, object, transaction, or reporting currencies.

For performance reasons you should use a characteristic for an account assignment object (such as a cost center, or internal order) in the general selections, or in all rows or columns.
