Cost Center Budget Planning

Use

Cost center budgeting provides a further method of planning in addition to primary cost and secondary cost planning. This tool enables you to carry out a comparison between actual postings and plan budgets. You can thus determine when the budget is exceeded and carry out timely availability checks. You can create budgets

for a single cost center or

for cost centers of a cost center group

You can see the budget data in a budget report. The budget report compares plan data , commitment data, and actual data (resulting from actual postings) as well as the allotted and available amounts.

Prerequisites
