Account Assignment (Organizational Unit)

Specification of a controlling area, master cost center, company code, business area, personnel area and personnel subarea for an organizational unit.

You specify the account assignment features of an organizational unit. Inheritance occurs as follows:

• Account assignment features are inherited by subordinate organizational units and positions if they have not been maintained.

• If account assignment features have been specified for a superior organizational unit, these are overwritten by entries on the Account Assignment tab page for a subordinate organizational unit.

• Controlling Area

  You can assign a controlling area to an organizational unit.

• Cost Center

  You can assign a cost center to an organizational unit. This forms the basis for Cost Distribution. The cost center can only be maintained in the Organization and Staffing view if integration with the Enterprise Organization is not activated. For more information, see the SAP Library under  Accounting  Controlling  Methods in Controlling  Authorizations  Enterprise Organization (CO) .

• Company Code

  You can assign a company code to an organizational unit.

• Business Area

  You can assign a business area to an organizational unit.

• Personnel Area

  You can assign a personnel area to an organizational unit.

• Personnel Subarea

  You can assign a personnel subarea to an organizational unit.

Data on the controlling area, cost center, company code, business area, personnel area and personnel subarea is inherited by subordinate positions and organizational units, as long as they have no direct assignment of their own.

Data on the controlling area, company code, business area, personnel area and personnel subarea are used as default values in Personnel Administration.

Data on the cost center is transferred to Personnel Administration in infotype 0001.

Whether the cost center can be maintained in the Organization and Staffing view depends on whether integration with the Enterprise Organization is activated or deactivated.
