Distribution (SAP Library - Activity-Based Costing (CO-OM-ABC))

Distribution

Use

The distribution concept is based on primary cost allocations between controlling objects. Distribution only takes primary costs into account. The following information is passed on to the receivers:

The original (primary) cost element is retained.

the sender and receiver information is documented in the cost center document (line items)

Business processes can be used as sender and receiver.

You can analyze the results of the distribution according to sender and receiver relationship in the information system (see Important Standard Reports, Business Processes: Plan Line Items, Business Processes: Actual Line Items).
