ZCBS is the code of the alternative cost centers hierarchy that is mainly used for reporting purposes (ex: Co$ta - Reports, Fixed costs)
You can display the ZCBS hierarchy
- in the Google Spreadsheet (be careful, it may not be the last version)
- in SAP using the transaction KSH3 - Display cost center hierarchy
You can also use the report FC - Cost centers master data to display all cost centers with their assignement in the hierarchy ZCBS.
All active cost centers must be included in ZCBS according to the following principles
1. There is a direct link between the first level of the ZCBS hierarchy and the Activity 1
CBS cost centers
- All cost centers included in the groups ZCBS-CORPO Corporate Function & ZCBS-FUNCT FUNCTION SERVICES are assigned to the Activity 1 CBSS in WP1 (=IECRA00569) or 50 in PF1.
- Cost centers included in the group ZCBS-ICO INTERCOMPANIES are assigned to the Activity 1 CBSS in WP1 (=IECRA01148) or 50 in PF1.
NBD cost centers

Non allocated cost centers
- All cost centers included in the group ZCBS-OTH CBS NON FUNCTION COSTS are assigned to the Activity 1 CBNR (=IECRA00450) in WP1 or 59 in PF1
The sub-group:

- ZCBS-OTHPO CBS NON FUNCTION COSTS - Scope PO2 was created in the frame of the project Power of 2 to follow-up the costs of the project
GBU cost centers

There can not be cost centers allocated to CBS or NBD included in the group ENTRP.

- The group DISC DISCONTINUED is used for cost centers that are blocked
- The group ZNS-FUNCT NON SOLVAY - FUNCTION SERVICES can be used for entities sold when they want to keep working with a fixed costs report with their own groups.
