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 Allocation of Utilities cost centers (cycle code: CCCCUT) to direct production cost centers is based on the Cost element Group XCS-ALL

Example: allocation structure UP >>

AS code	Name	Assignment	Sender Group	Assessment cost element
UP	Steam Prod Boiler	10	XCS-FCAL1	9325310401 Regl - Centrale thermique (Vapeur)
		20	XCS-VCAL	9325310421 Steam Central

		40	XCS-STAT	I630000001 Depreciation-Local Adjustment
		50	XCS-SELL	9325310421 Steam Central
		60	XCS-DEP16	9163000501 IFRS16 depreciation
		70	XCS-MOBNUS	9629200201 Grouping-Legal contribution employer

The Allocation Structure of Indirect production cost centers (cycle code: CCCCID) is based on the Cost element Group ZSOLV

Example: allocation structure SD >>

AS code	Name	Assignment	Sender Group	Assessment cost element
SD	Qual Ctrl & Lab (assess prod)	10	ZSO-FC_BON	9141000001 Regl-Laboratory Quality Control
		20	ZSO-STDEP	9630000001 Depreciations

		50	ZSO-IF16	9163000501 IFRS16 depreciation
		60	ZSO-BONUS	9629200201 Grouping-Legal contribution employer

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: S1 >>

AS code	Name	Assignment	Sender Group	Assessment cost element
S1	Commercial (assess rep)	10	ZSO-FC_BON	9805100001 Total commercial costs
		20	ZSO-STDEP	98052Z9001 FATA - Non function (Depreciation)
		30	ZSOLV-SALE	9805100001 Total commercial costs
		40	ZSOLV-UNL1	I805100001 FCOMT Depreciation-Local Adjustment
