Allocations and Period-End in Controlling
Covers how SAP S/4HANA moves costs inside controlling: distribution, assessment and activity allocation, allocation cycles in universal allocation, and overhead calculation with costing sheets. Puts them into a controlling close sequence that explains what breaks when steps run out of order, and ends with how to test allocations with test runs, expected results and reversals.
