What You Need to Know Before Transferring SOP Data to Cost Center Accounting
The units (measured as quantities or time) of each activity type to be provided for a cost center are defined in the work center master record by means of formulas. The system transfers the results of these formulas from SOP to Cost Center Accounting as activity requirements.
For more information on work center data, see PP Work Centers.
To transfer SOP data to Cost Center Accounting, you need to specify:
Every plant is assigned to a controlling area, so the plant determines the controlling area.
This is a version which has already been set in Customizing.
This is a fiscal year which has been set for this version in Customizing.
Before data can be transferred, a number of Customizing settings need to have been made. These relate to the level at which the data is transferred and ensure, for example, that material data is not transferred more than once. Particularly important are the:
This is the SOP version of the product groups or materials whose capacity requirement data you want to transfer; for example, active version A00. Each product group or material may have any number of planning versions, but you transfer only one of them to CO-OM-CCA.
Capacity leveling in SOP can be performed both at material and at product group level. This indicator specifies whether the capacity requirements of materials will be transferred direct or as a proportion of the product groups of which they are members.
This indicator determines the scheduling level (detailed planning, rate-based planning, or rough-cut planning) for which data is transferred. Rough-cut planning is normally set for data transfer from SOP.
