Process: SBS-P-DRTR-02-002 Monthly costing and cost accounting closing 

Responsibility area: Perform Costing Monthly Closing

Finance Site SBS:

 RtR BO processes  the settlements of the three items below respecting the given time table:

  • PM-orders,
  • WBS-elements,
  • CO-orders, 

The processing includes dealing with the generated messages. RtR BO investigates the reasons for error messages, looks for modifications and corrections if possible, and restarts settlements if needed.

  • If an error blocks further processing and cannot be solved by RtR BO, the issue must be communicated to a contact in the area of plant maintenance.
  • After having received the solution and corrections, RtR BO acts by launching a second time the corresponding transactions.
  • Furthermore, RtR BO checks if the orders and the WBS treated in this procedure are completely settled.

Responsibilities of other functions:

  • The processing of PM-orders and WBS-elements for maintenance and fixed asset operations can lead to a result with technical errors.
  • In this case RtR BO must contact the local plant maintenance team, which is responsible for making the necessary corrections

 

Based on group core rules, all costs for maintenance and investment for fixed assets must be posted on special orders, created in the module of plant maintenance (PM). The cost of the orders are allocated to define maintenance and investment projects, created in the project system and defined in a hierarchy – work breakdown structure (WBS), where actual and budget figures can be compared.
