Cost Center Accounting

Keep this: job aid

Cost center accounting checklist

• Check profit center, company code and validity on every new or changed cost center.
• Reorganize with new time slices; remember the hierarchy assignment is not time-dependent.
• Every new cost center: standard hierarchy node, allocation groups, planning scope.
• Defaults propose, validations check, substitutions replace silently; validations win.
• Repost line items with reference to the original; never delete and re-enter.
• Plan in ACDOCP under the right plan category; actuals are ACT01.
• Variance routine: threshold, drill to line items, classify, repost errors, explain the rest.
• Allocations: test run, productive run, sender equals receivers, reversal tested.
• Completeness: CMC_STD top node equals total cost center actuals.
• Evidence: document numbers and report totals that match the postings made.
• GUI to Fiori: KS01–KS03 / Manage Cost Centers; KB61 / Reassign Costs and Revenues; KSU5 / Run Allocations.
