Technical Name: SAP_CO_OM_PEREND_ABM_COLL

Activities

The transactions for period-end closing in Cost Center Accounting- and Activity-Based Costing are summarized in this role. Unlike the role for cost center closing - activities/processes the selection also contains activity allocation functions.

Transfer of statistical key figures from LIS: You can transfer key figures that are already in the Logistics Information System (LIS) to cost centers or business processes regardless of activity.

Overhead rates: Overhead costing is used to allocate overhead costs using percentage or quantity-based overhead. The allocation is based on the single cost elements that are posted as overhead costs.

Indirect activity allocation automatically assigns activity using the keys that are used for automatic allocation. Indirect activity allocation uses segments and cycles. In addition, if calculating the sender activity quantities involves too much time or expense, the R/3 System can determine this value inversely based on the receiver activity quantities.

The template allocation to cost centers or business processes is a method of quantity-based cost allocation using templates. You do not need to specify senders, quantities, or costs, but you can use a template to determine them online during calculation.

In Target=actual activity allocation the SAP System determines the actual activity quantities to be allocated, based on the plan activity inputs of the receiver, and taking into account the operating rate of the receiver.

Variance calculation enables you to categorize and display variances incurred on business processes by cost element. Variance calculation is based on the preceding functions for allocation and planning.

Predistribution of fixed costs enables you to distribute the fixed costs, which were planned for the activity production, in full as actual costs to the business processes that planned the activity input.

Actual cost splitting divides the total costs into fixed and variable portions according to your planning. Actual cost splitting makes it possible to divide costs into fixed and variable portions, which forms the basis for carrying out target/actual comparisons and calculating actual prices.

Actual price determination enables you to determine prices using only actual data. You can use the actual activity price to revaluate all the activity in actual data. In this way, cost centers can be credited in full, and the business processes debited accordingly.
