3. Tasks description

3.1. I receive the request to create/update a cost center hierarchy

I am informed that a cost center hierarchy must be amended. It can happen when:

  • There is a new cost center and its standard group doesn't exist: for instance in WP2, in each legal entity, SG&A cost centers are included in a group that is dedicated to the GBU and may be used in assessment cycles. When there is a new GBU in a legal entity, a group needs to be created for the GBU,
  • A new type of cost centers is created in a legal entity: for instance when it is the first a cost center is created for restructuring costs in a legal entity,
  • When there is a new organization: for instance a new GBU is created, a new department is created,
  • In the frame of a project: for instance SAP roll-out, carve-out...
  • ...

The request can be done through the PRS workflow, Service one or in the frame of a project. 

3.2. I confirm that the request is made by an authorized requester

  • For the standard hierarchy: As long as the request is standard and follows the rules describe in the following section, the new group can be created without prior validation. 
  • For the ZCBS hierarchy: the request should be done or approved by the dedicated controller: CBS controller (for all groups created in SCBS-CORPO, SCBS-FUNCT, SCBS-ICO, SCBS-PROJ) , GBU controller (for all groups created in RDD, EMSV, EADM), SU MAC for all other groups

3.3. I analyze and validate the information provided in the request

When a group is created in the standard hierarchy, it must be consistent with the standard rules in WP2 or PF2:

When a group is created in the ZCBS hierarchy, it must be consistent with the standard rules:

3.4. I create/update the cost center hierarchy

3.5. I communicate that the cost center hierarchy has been created/updated

I inform the requester that the standard hierarchy is updated.
