INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the SAP FICO Configuration kit. We will ensure that we will take you by the hand and help you configure both Controlling and Finance Module for you. In this document we will be configuring the basics of Controlling and also cover the Cost Center accounting Module. The controlling area configuration is the starting point of configuration in the CO module, which will enable us to configure profit center, product costing and then the profitability analysis module. In this document we will configure controlling area 9100 (A Group). To help us better understand the configuration let us take the below scenario: The management of A group is desirous of having a single controlling area, so that they can have cross company code controlling. A Group is fast expanding group and will be setting various companies across the globe in the future. Each company code in the above case will be attached to this controlling area. Currently A Group has only one company called as 9100 (A Ltd). This company code is attached to controlling area 9100. A group is located in Germany. The controlling area currency is configured as group currency EUR. A Group requires the following modules within controlling to be implemented:1) 2) 3) 4) Cost center accounting Product costing Profit center accounting Profitability analysis
So lets now grind in further of how to configure the basics of controlling and the Cost Center in this document.

SAP CONTROLLING CONFIGURATION 4.7 Note that the number intervals are not included in the customizing request they need to be transported manually. Click on Interval Transport To ensure data consistency, you should not transport number ranges for CO documents, but rather create them manually in the target system. Or else you can create from scratch.

2. Multiple Valuation Approaches/Transfer Prices (Optional) 2.1 Maintain Currency and Valuation Profile
IMG Controlling General Controlling Multiple Valuation Approaches/Transfer Prices Basic Settings Maintain Currency and Valuation Profile We only need the currency and valuation profiles if we want to manage various valuations in parallel in our system. We have to take the following rules into account when we maintain the currency and valuation profiles because they are checked when we activate the C&V profile in the controlling area. Managing the company code currency in legal valuation is mandatory. In addition, we can always manage two further valuation approaches In valuation, we can select among group valuation (1) and profit center valuation (2), In the currency, we can select among company code currency (10) and group currency (30). All valuation approaches we manage in controlling must also be managed correspondingly in the material ledger. All standard SAP report in controlling are shown in the reporting currency (controlling area currency), to get the object currency (Co. code currency) you will need to define new reports.

Therefore we need to first maintain the profit center settings and then execute this step. After maintaining the profit center settings we will get the following message.
We need to create result analysis version 0 in the product cost controlling component. Nevertheless we can still activate the currency and valuation profile.

In this step we activate or reset the update all currencies indicator. The Update all currencies indicator enables us to reduce the amount of memory used when posting data to CO objects (for example, cost centers or orders). However, it only works if our database system compresses empty fields. If you are not sure whether your database system compresses empty fields, you should always activate this indicator. This is automatically set when we create the controlling area which can be seen below

no profit and loss accounting using cost of sales accounting occurs there is no interest in cross-application reports there is no interest in evaluating cross-company-code and crossbusiness area postings
Controlling area maintenance indicates whether the reconciliation ledger is activated or deactivated for the controlling area. This activation step is generally not required if we select cross company cost accounting when maintaining controlling area which can be seen below.

SAP CONTROLLING CONFIGURATION 4.7 The third level is the function 01 Production 02 maintenance etc. Therefore we create 9101 as production At the fourth level we create the cost center. Thus the cost center numbering is 9101000 Production common. The first 2 digits from the left 91 represent company code The 3rd and 4th digit represents function The 5th 6th 7th digit represents running number.

Click on In sender values we have the following rules:1) Posted amounts - The posted amounts on the sender serve as the sender values. 2) Fixed amounts - You define fixed amounts for senders defined in the selection Criteria on the "Sender Values" screen. The senders are credited directly with these amounts. 3) Fixed rates - On the "Sender Values" screen you enter fixed prices for the senders you entered in the selection criteria. These prices are multiplied by the receiver tracing factors and the result allocated to the receivers.
In receiver tracing factor we have various options:1) Variable portions The tracing factors are determined based on the following parameters: - Plan statistical key figures, Plan activity, plan costs, plan consumption. 2) Fixed amounts We can define fixed amounts in the tracing factor screen. The receivers are charged directly with these amounts. The amount credited to the sender is derived from the total of the receiver debits. The rule for determining the sender values is not used here. SAP system ignores posted sender amounts or defined sender amounts.
Page 75 of 75
SAP CONTROLLING CONFIGURATION 4.7 3) Fixed percentage - We define fixed percentages for the receiver in the tracing factor screen. The value from the sender is distributed to the receivers according to this percentage. The total receiver tracing factor must not exceed 100% .The sender based must be fully distributed. If the total of the receiver tracing factors is less than 100%, then a portion of the sender value remains on the sender. 4) Fixed portions - This process is similar to the fixed percentage process, with the exception that the amount is not limited to 100. The sender base is derived from the total of the receiver tracing factors.
We will use posted amounts for sender values and fixed portion for receiver tracing factors.

Qty 7000
Qty 3000
Thus Quality cost center has a cost of 70000 INR (70 INR X 10000 hr). This cost will be allocated to finished goods production order based on the output (70000 INR X 7000 qty) / 10000 qty = 49000 INR And to semi finished goods production order (70000 INR X 3000 qty) / 10000 qty = 21000 INR We are creating a cycle for allocating costs from Cooling services General to Cooling services EG-1 and EG-2. The planned output will be entered on cooling services general using activity type 3UTCG1. (Here the total cost to be allocated will be entered with price 1) The output will be entered on the Cooling services EG-1 and EG-2 using Statistical key figures.
Double Click We will name the cycle 91CGP (91 the company code CG Cooling services general 1st cycle and P Plan)

Click on The following options are available in Sender values:1) Posted quantities- The quantities posted to the sender are taken as the sender values. 2) Fixed quantities On the sender value tab, enter fixed quantities for the senders we defined in the selection criteria. The senders are directly credited with these quantities. 3) Quantities calculated inversely The sender values are calculated indirectly from the receiver tracing factors. We can valuate these sender values with a weighting factor. We define the weighting factors on the Sender values tab.
The following options are available in Receiver tracing factor:1) Variable portions- The tracing factors are determined based on the following parameters:- Plan statistical key figures, Plan activity, plan costs, plan consumption. 2) Fixed quantities We can define fixed quantities in the tracing factor screen. The receivers are charged directly with these quantities. The quantity credited to the sender is derived from the total of the receiver debits. 3) Fixed percentages We define fixed percentages for the receiver in the tracing factor screen. The quantity from the sender is distributed to the receivers according to this percentage. The total receiver tracing factor must not exceed 100% .The sender based must be fully distributed.

SAP CONTROLLING CONFIGURATION 4.7 A splitting structure consists of one or more assignments, which define the connection between the cost element(s) or cost element group to be split and the splitting rule used to divide the costs. Each splitting rule is based on a splitting method. Based on the splitting methods, which are fixed in the R/3 System, we can split plan costs according to the following criteria:
Activity quantity Equivalence number Capacity Output Scheduled activity Statistical key figure (quantity) Statistical key figure (maximum quantity) No splitting is executed
After we define a splitting structure, we must assign it to the cost centers on which we want to split costs according to the given rules. We can assign a structure to: All cost centers All cost centers in a given group All cost centers in a given interval The structure can apply to a single version or to all versions in a controlling area for a fiscal year.
