Definition
A cost component structure is used to classify within the cost collector which cost elements are Fixed, Variable or Depreciation.
- It is customized at Company level.
There are currently 12 different Cost Component Structures in PF1. The most common one is Z1.
- It can be displayed with OKTZ - Display cost component structure
Each Cost component Structure can have different Cost Components elements:
Cost component Element is categorized as Fixed costs or Variable costs
Each Cost Component element is compounded by the amount posted in the Cost collector in a given set of Cost elements
There are other cost components structure
ZF used by Special Chem (Not always)
ZC used by Soda Ash US
ZY used by Specialty Polymer (not always)
The cost components structure must be consistent with the splitting structure
- The Cost Components Structure can be very detailed, but if it is not consistent with the activity type and the Splitting structure, the result won't be as detailed as expected.
- In this example, Fixed Costs in the production CC are only used in one activity type: ZZPROD. So we can not get more detail.
