Process: Costing Model Architecture

Responsibility area: Maintain cycles

SBS Service Center:

  1. Processes all cycles, based on a pre-defined order for each entity. Processing includes the dealing with the generated messages.
  2. Clarifies the reason for the messages, looks for modifications if possible, starts again cycles if needed. In case an error blocks further processing and it cannot be solved by SBS, the issue must be communicated to the Local Finance. After a solution is provided, SBS acts by launching again the related transactions and checks if the involved cost centers are balanced.

Local Finance:

  1. Will contribute to find the solutions for occurring problems, above all caused by serious errors which cannot be solved by SBS.
  2. Checks the outcome of cycles, i.e. the coherence, plausibility, reasonability of the generated cost allocation.
  3. Gives the final approval to continue with the chronological next steps.

Costing Model Architecture

Area: Maintain cycles

previous Operation: OP.101

Rules & Glossary: Costing - Rules Costing - Glossary Costing - SAP Operations

Responsibility

  1. Local Finance - Information for the possibly cycle changes and validate the Budget cycle.
  2. SBS Service Center - Copy the Cycles from last year (in case of Budget cycle, copy from it), and do the necessary changes requested.



Guideline

Budget Cycle needs to be Created and Validated by Local Finance first. Only then we can start copying the Budget Cycles and the All other cycles.

Copy from Budget Cycle PPPPBU to cycle PPPPCO. See Assessment cycles Rules.

 

See Assessment cycles Rules.

Inform the persons in charge of SCMA, normally Country Team, except in the cases that we have Extended Front Office which could be run by FO.
