Secondary cost element

Secondary cost element

Data Business Definition

A secondary cost element is essentially an account that exists only in the costing module, not in financial module.

When costs are moved (e.g., from one cost center to another using an assessment, or from a cost center to a production order), no postings are made to the financial P&L accounts. Secondary cost elements are used exclusively in Controlling (CO) and do not need to be defined in FI. It can be used for internal allocation purpose.
