A. GBU/Function/SBS

The allocation of costs to a GBU, a function or SBS is based on the ZCBS hierarchy

Each cost center is assigned to a group of the hierarchy that is itself assigned to the group: GBU, Function or SBS using the mapping maintained in the file Mapping (sheet " function grouping" - column C)






B. OPEX/CAPEX

By default all costs are reported in the dashboard but it is possible to filter OPEX (Operational Expenditure) or CAPEX (Capital Expenditure)

  • (A) When both buttons CAPEX/OPEX have the same color (green or white), all costs are displayed in the dashboard
  • (B) When the button OPEX is green, only OPEX is displayed
  • (C) When the button CAPEX is green, only CAPEX is displayed

All costs posted in a WBS element or a PM order with the following type:

  • WBS Element type: IM - CAPEX (Invest.)
  • CO Order - Type: Z**I in PF1 & ZPM6 in WP1

=> all other costs are OPEX





C. Interco/Non Interco

By default all costs are reported in the dashboard but it is possible to exclude costs invoiced by another company Solvay:

  • (A) When both buttons Interco/Non Interco have the same color (green or white), all costs are displayed in the dashboard
  • (B) When the button Interco is green, only costs with a vendor Solvay are displayed
  • (C) When the button Non Interco is green, costs invoiced by another company Solvay are excluded

Interco: costs invoiced by an entity belonging to the group Solvay.

It is based on the attribute "Intercompany Flag" of the master data "Vendor".

When "Intercompany flag" = Yes, then the vendor is considered as Interco.
