1. Objective and Scope
1.1. Objective of this Operation
The purpose of this procedure is to explain how to maintain a hierarchy of cost elements in SAP.
The hierarchies of cost elements are important in
- the costing model: they are used in assessment cycles
- in the reporting: they are used in fixed costs reports & Co$ta
There are 2 core hierarchies to be maintained carefully:
- XCS-ALL is is used to split variable / fixed / depreciation cost elements in PF1 PF2 & WP1WP2. It is also used in the assessment cycles of some cost centers in PF1 PF2 and in the reporting iMEPIMEP.
- ZRCS-FC is used in assessment cycles in PF1 PF2 & WP1 WP2 and in fixed costs reports & Co$ta.
From it is replaced by the hierarchy ZSOLV and ZRCS-FC will not be maintained anymore.
When you change one of these cost elements hierarchies, you must carefully follow the following rules:
- A cost element hierarchy needs to be maintained in all controlling areas: CHEF, Z001, Z006, Z013, Z025, Z026, Z028. It means you create or move a subgroup, it has to be done 1 time in PF1 and 6 times in WP1 (to change the controlling area in the prompt of the transaction KAH2 - Change Cost element group, go to the menu "Extras" and choose "Set Controlling Area") WP2 & PF2. For instance if you do a change in the hierarchy in WP2, you have to do it in PF2 (or vice versa).
- All cost elements should be included in the core hierarchies
- A hierarchy is unique. A cost element can not be included in 2 groups (even if SAP does not prevent you from doing it). There are 10 exceptions in the hierarchy XCS-ALL in WP1 WP2 (no new exceptions are accepted without prior validation by an a costing expert)
- There is a standard number of levels in each core hierarchy, do not create new ones.
- All cost elements should be included in the lowest group.
Examples:
there are 5 levels in the ZSOLV hierarchy, it is forbidden to create a 6th level >>
All cost elements should be included at the lowest level of the hierarchy >>
3. Tasks description
3.1. I update the cost element hierarchy
Include Page KAH2 - Change Cost element group KAH2 - Change Cost element group
3.2. I communicate that the cost element hierarchy has been updated
