CO-PC-OBJ: Cost Object Controlling (SAP Library

CO-PC-OBJ: Cost Object Controlling

Technical name: 0PC_C01

Use

This InfoCube contains the transaction data for all product cost collectors and orders in Cost Object Controlling that was uploaded from the source system or systems.

In Cost Object Controlling you can analyze data such as the following:

Planned costs and planned quantities

Actual costs and actual quantities

Variances between plan and actual

Work in process

Data generated by variance calculation This includes data such as:

Target costs and target quantities
Control costs
Variance categories
Variances (absolute and percentage)

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

Prerequisites in the R/3 System

This InfoCube can be used from Release 4.0B upwards.

Higher-Level Objects

Roles

This InfoCube supplies data on the following topic area:

SAP_BW_CO_PRODCOST_CONTROLLING Production Cost Management

Queries

The titles of the queries indicate their contents and intended users. "Analysis" queries are intended for cost management specialists, "Detail" queries provide detailed information, and "Overview" queries are intended for managers and supervisors (such as production managers).

You can use all of the navigation attributes of the characteristic material to select materials of a particular group in the queries and workbooks (such as material group, division, profit center, and so on). To do this you must activate the navigation attributes to this InfoCube if you have not already done so (see under Activated Navigation Attributes).

Caution

If you define queries yourself, never calculate sums across different currency keys or different valuations. This could result in incorrect results in the query. Always add the currency key and the valuation views to the filter.

InfoSources

The InfoCube is fed from the following two InfoSources:

0CO_PC_01: Product Cost by Order/Period: Plan/Actual Costs

0CO_PC_02: Product Cost by Order/Period: Period-End Closing

Note

Deletion indicator: When you create an InfoPackage, you will see a line in the Select data tab with the indicator Deletion indicator FLG_DELFLG.

For an initial upload, do not enter anything in the columns From value and To value in this line. This loads all orders, regardless whether their master data has a deletion indicator or not.

For a periodic extraction, fill in the From value field. This loads only the orders that do not have a deletion indicator in their master data. This improves runtimes.

Note

Control costs (this is a change – applies when using R/3 releases higher than 4.6B and BW 2.0B): The control costs and control quantities are updated again with 0VTYPE90 (value type = 90), similar to with actual costs, target costs, or planned costs.

The queries supplied by SAP include the restricted key figures net actual costs and net actual quantities – these correspond to the control costs updated under 0VTYPE90.

In all queries, use only the restricted key figure control costs.

Restricted Key Figures

The restricted key figures fall into several 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.
