CO-OM-ABC: Costs and Allocations (SAP Library

CO-OM-ABC: Costs and Allocations

Technical name: 0ABC_C06

Use

This InfoCube contains all costs and allocated quantities for business processes (actual and plan) that were transferred from the source system or systems. In addition to complete information on variances, this InfoCube also contains the extended partner information (such as the partner business process with master data) for the allocation relationships.

In allocations, the process can function as the sender or the receiver of activities (quantities) or costs. The processes are credited or debited accordingly.

You can use this data to determine what your business processes cost and what resources generated the costs.
You can gain insight into the efficiency of your processes and resources, and obtain basic information on capacity utilization.
You can analyze how and to what extent your processes are being used.
You can then use this information to determine the optimization potential for your process model.

Note

You can also use this InfoCube to access your own fields. For more information, see Customer-Defined Fields.

For background information on the concept of InfoCubes, see InfoCubes in Controlling.

Caution

If you copy the Cube, note the following:

Both InfoSources can supply actual data. Do not create any InfoPackages with value type 10 for InfoSource 0CO_OM_ABC_1.

In the Cube supplied in the standard system, such double loading is prevented by the update rule.

Prerequisites in the SAP R/3 System

This InfoCube can be used from Release 4.0B upwards.

Loading Behavior

The InfoCube is fed from InfoSources 0CO_OM_ABC_1 and 0CO_OM_ABC_7. This requires a special procedure when loading the data from the source systems into the Cube. We recommend the following procedure:

Create an InfoPackage for your InfoSource 0CO_OM_ABC_7 to load the actual data.

Case A (with delta process): If you use the delta process, you can load your actual data at any time. You do not have to specify the period.
Case B (without delta process): If you don’t use the delta process, it is best to load your actual data only at the end of the period (after completion of the period-end closing process) by restricting to the closed period.

Recommendation

SAP recommends the delta process.

To load the remaining data (such as plan, target or period-end closing) for your InfoSource 0CO_OM_ABC_1, create a separate InfoPackage for each type of data. This is necessary because of the different data transfer time points. Restrict selection to the relevant value type (such as plan) and the period or periods (such as 1 – 3 for the first quarter or 1 – 12 for the full year).

For more information on loading data, see InfoCubes in Controlling.

Note

It is not possible to load actual data with this InfoSource.

The content of InfoCube CO-OM-ABC: Variances (Old Version) supplied in older releases has been incorporated into this InfoCube CO-OM-ABC: Costs and Allocations (0ABC_C06).

If you want to fill the new Cube with variance data from a previous Cube, create an InfoPackage for the corresponding InfoSource, 0CO_OM_ABC_1 Business Processes: Costs, and load your legacy data for the desired time frame.

Restricted Key Figures

The restricted key figures are divided into four groups.

Note

The basic key figures cannot be used without restricting some of the characteristics. For this reason you should use only the supplied restricted key figures in queries you have defined yourself, or analyze the supplied restricted key figures and modify them to suit your requirements.
