All Cost centers, depending on the original cost elements posted in them, have to allocate their cost as Fixed Cost or Depreciation.
It may be necessary to track these allocations with separate assessment cost elements to track the origin of costs (fixed costs or depreciation)
This can be done creating several segments for each cost center or cost center group allocation
But we can SIMPLIFY and merge all segments into one segment, using an allocation structure.
It helps to have standardized assessment cycles for all companies, treating equally the allocation of cost elements and cost centers to Indirect production cost centers to direct cost production cost centers or from cost centers to COPA.

The Allocation Structure of Indirect production cost centers (PPPP-2xxx) is based on the Cost element Group ZSOLV

Example: allocation structure CE >>

AS code	Name	Assignment	Sender Group	Assessment cost element
CE	EPRD1X Maintenance	10	ZSO-FC_BON	99422200 Maintenance CNP
		20	ZSO-STDEP	99423050 Maintenance AMO
		40	ZSOL-OTH26	99422200 Maintenance CNP
		50	ZSO-IF16	99423600 IFRS16 depreciation
		60	ZSO-BONUS	99422099 Grp-Leg contr empl

For Allocation to COPA the Allocation Structure is based on the Cost element Group ZSOLV and is used with the corresponding PA transfer structure

Example: allocation structure that is used in COPA cycles: C1 >>

AS code	Name	Assignment	Sender Group	Assessment cost element
C1	Site allocation	10	ZSO-FC_BON	99429910 COPA Assessment CNP
		20	ZSO-STDEP	99429920 COPA Assessment AMO
		30	ZSOL-OTH28	99429910 COPA Assessment CNP
		40	ZSO-IF16	99429921 R25860 Period depreciation
		50	ZSO-BONUS	99429941 BONUS

The following groups are a grouping of groups of the hierarchy ZSOLV:
