- Cost Component structure are used to classify within the cost collector which cost elements are fixed, variable or Depreciation. But not only this. The level of granularity depends on the GBU election (election of Cost Component), but it has to be coherent with activity types. It links them to material ledger classification.
- It is customized at Company level.
- The level of detail provided and its complexity is determined by the different types of activity types used in production CC.
- The right design of the Splitting structure / Activity Types is a preliminary step to have the Cost Component structure as detailed or simple as we want.
There are currently 12 different Cost Component Structures. The most popular one is Z1 that is a very basic one; its main purpose is to be able to split cost in VC-FC-Depr as requested by BFC
- 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 Fix or Variable / this is the base for interface to BFC
- 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
