Account Assignment and Budgeting

Definition

The assignments of a force element to objects in Accounting, Funds Management, and Project System.

Use

To include force elements in accounting, funds management, and project system processes, you assign force elements to the relevant objects/levels:

Cost centers

The assignment of a cost center forms the basis for the personnel and logistics processes for force elements.
Cost center groups
Profit centers
Profit center groups
WBS elements
Funds centers

As a result, lower-level force elements and positions inherit the assignments of the higher-level force element, unless an assignment has been made directly for them.

For information about editing these assignments, see Assignment of Account Assignment Objects and Budgeting Objects .
