External object (object type K) from Controlling which represents a clear origin of costs.

If you implement the Controlling component, you can find more information in SAP Library under

Cost Center (  Financials   Controlling   Cost Center Accounting   Master Data in Cost Center Accounting (CO-OM-CCA)   Cost Center  )

and

and Cost Center Accounting (  Financials   Controlling   Cost Element Accounting  ).

 

By assigning cost centers to organizational objects, you determine where costs incurred by the object are to be charged. The inheritance principle applies: If an organizational object is not assigned a cost center, the cost center assigned to the superior object applies.

An organizational object may also be assigned more than one cost center. For more information, see Cost Distribution (infotype 1018).
