Cost Distribution (Organizational Unit)
Definition
Distribution of costs arising to several cost centers.
Use
Costs incurred by an organizational unit are usually written to the cost center directly assigned to the organizational unit (master cost center) or to the cost center inherited by the organizational unit from a superior organizational unit. For more information, see
Account Assignment (Organizational Unit).Create a cost distribution if you wish to distribute costs to more than one cost center. You specify which portion of the costs you want to distribute to which cost center. If the organizational unit is already assigned a master cost center, the system writes any remaining costs to the master cost center.
If the organizational unit was assigned to a master cost center before you created a cost distribution, you must reconcile cost distribution with this.
If organizational objects (positions, work centers) in an organizational unit are not assigned to their own master cost center or cost distribution, they inherit the cost distribution from the organizational unit.
The Cost Distribution tab page is not available in the Organization and Staffing (Workflow) view.
Structure
The system displays a table, in which you can enter the percentage of costs that is to be distributed to each cost center. You can also assign orders and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) elements.
