ZCBS is the code of the alternative cost centers hierarchy that is mainly used for reporting purposes (ex: Co$ta - Reports , Fixed costs )
You can display the ZCBS hierarchy
- in the Google Spreadsheet (be careful, it may not be the last version)
- in SAP using the transaction KSH3 - Display cost center hierarchy
You can also use the report FC - Cost centers master data to display all cost centers with their assignement in the hierarchy ZCBS.
All active cost centers must be included in ZCBS according to the following principles
All the cost centers must be assigned to the lowest level in the hierarchy (usually 4th level) so that the full ZCBS levels are properly shown for the related cost center.
Example: The cost centers are assigned to node ZCFICO1 (Corporate Controlling), which is under the Corporate function and Finance Corporate:
From , the groups beginning with Z will be used exclusively for the CBS cost centers of ECO
The CBS cost centers of SCO must be included in nodes beginning with S
This rule does not apply to other nodes, in particular ENTRP, which are still used by SCO and ECO.
1. There is a direct link between the first level of the ZCBS hierarchy and the Activity 1
CBS cost centers
- All cost centers included in the groups ZCBS-CORPO & SCBS-CORPO Corporate Function & ZCBS-FUNCT & SCBS-CORPO FUNCTION SERVICES are assigned to the Activity 1 CBSS in WP1 (=IECRA00569) and PF1.
- Cost centers included in the group ZCBS-ICO INTERCOMPANIES are assigned to the Activity 1 CBSS in WP1 (=IECRA01148) and PF1.
Non allocated cost centers
- All cost centers included in the group ZCBS-OTH CBS NON FUNCTION COSTS are assigned to the Activity 1 CBNR in WP1 (=IECRA00450) and PF1.
The sub-group:
- ZCBS-OTH5 CBS NON FUNCTION COSTS - Scope F2G is used in the frame of the project F2G to manage the Co$ta - Anaplan & F2G Scope
- ZCBS-OTHPO CBS NON FUNCTION COSTS - Scope PO2 was created in the frame of the project Power of 2 to follow-up the costs of the project
GBU cost centers
- All cost centers included in the group ENTRP ENTERPRISE are assigned to a GBU.
There can not be cost centers allocated to CBS included in the group ENTRP.
Other groups
- The group RHXXX TECHNICAL COST CENTERS is used for technical cost centers (not reported in fixed costs report)
- The group DISC DISCONTINUED is used for cost centers that are blocked
- The group ZNS-FUNCT NON SOLVAY - FUNCTION SERVICES can be used for entities sold when they want to keep working with a fixed costs report with their own groups.
2. There is a direct link between the first (or second) level of the ZCBS hierarchy and the P&L
CBS cost centers
- All cost centers included in the group ZCBS-CORPO Corporate Function & ZCBS-FUNCT FUNCTION SERVICES are allocated to R33400 Shared service function expenses (origin)
- All cost centers included in the group ZCBS-ICO INTERCOMPANIES are allocated to R33200 Shared services function costs invoiced
Non allocated cost centers
- Cost centers included in the group ZCBS-OTH CBS NON FUNCTION COSTS : they will be allocated to corresponding BFC headings depending on its destination ( ie: Administrative or Commercial expenses, Other recurring operating income/expenses, etc)
GBU cost centers
- The allocation of cost centers included in the group ENTRP ENTERPRISE depends on the type of costs:
| ZCBS group | Definition |
|---|---|
| EPRD | All production cost centers should be included in the group EPRD:
=> Definition of Period non-proportional costs of production (R25460) |
| EADM | This group is used for cost centers allocated to the BFC account Administrative expenses (R33310)
|
| EMSV | This group is used for cost centers allocated to the BFC account Commercial expenses (R33320)
|
| RDD | This group is used for cost centers allocated to the BFC account Research and Development (R360)
|
