How do I update costing model ?

As you are in 2017 Budget period, may I remember the procedure that you can use to update costing model for 2017 in both perimeter.

WP1: The costing model should be deliver by FRA (Financial Responsible Asigned) on November 15th in order to be reviewed by the RCOM (Regional Costing Manager).
PF1: The costing model should be deliver by FRA (Financial Responsible Asigned) on January 13th in order to be reviewed by the RCOM (Regional Costing Manager).

WP1

  • Note that, the budget of your WP1 Production Cost Center (CNP or CP), should be managed also in SAP. (Activity Budget,  Activity Cycle, Activity Hours). For this, you should fill the xls file shared in the procedure related to IAC 01.09.

    For any update of current CC, you should separately, request your modification directly to DMR team using the normal process

  • This file should be sent back to Regional Costing Manager (RCOM) by November 15th.

When receiving your email, it will be reviewed together with the Service Center Transversal CO team (see if the file is correctly filled, if the activity price AMO, MACHI, MANHO are in line with 2016, etc….), and after this review the figures will be uploaded in to SAP, when this will be finished and checked, you will be informed.

  • All the process should be finished by mid December.

 

PF1

  • FRA (Financial Responsible Asigned) provide by email the cycles changes to RCOM by Friday, January 13th.

  • When receiving your email, it will be reviewed together with the Service Center Transversal CO team. Service Center Transversal CO team will update WF3.
  • Service Sencer will create the new cycles for the new year and will perform the changes requested accordingly by Tuesday, January 31st.

Hard close is approaching. To make sure proper financial result, FRA (Finance Responsible Assigned), PIM (Physical Inventory Manager) and GCCO (GBU costing control owner) have been invited to attend the presentation:

 

 

The scope of SPS project is increasing because we found more complexity.

We are postponing the go-live of the project SPS to January 2018 as agreed during the last steering committee held on October 17th. 

For your information, postpone the Go-live in this case means that we are finding more complexity and that's why we are increasing the scope of the project.
In this context, 2 critical actions will be done still this year 2016:
  1. Integrated test for the current design. 
  2. Determine the Cost Estimate issues and clarify the master data rules.

Reminder:

SPS Objectives 

SPS Benefits

The project is aligned with Finance Roadmap and focus on “Business Partnering” through continuous information on profitability. Above all, the new model thanks to multiple axis profitability analysis (product, customer, PIF,...) accelerates controlling analysis by providing back and forth tractability between PF1 and BFC.
