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.
For Indirect production cost centers (PPPP-2xxx) Allocation, from the Allocation Structure is based on Rules - Cost element Group ZSOLV
