In this section, you maintain the cost element groups (sets) you want to use for reports of the information system.

Individual cost elements are grouped together into cost element groups.

You can structure of the cost element groups as you like. Each node of the structure makes up a totals line in the report thus allowing report structuring. You always have to adapt the corresponding accounts or insert them for your chart of accounts.

You use the cost element groups:

  1. for the Real Estate Information System/cost element reporting
    By means of the cost element structure, you determine the row structure of your cost element reports and the funds overviews. Totals formation is carried out in the funds overview for each cost element group node.
  2. for processing several cost elements in one go.
    You can use the cost element groups in cost element planning to edit several cost elements (of a cost element group) together.

You can create and manage any number of cost element groups in the system in parallel.

Example

You could create the following cost element structure in order to analyse costs and revenues resulting from real estate rentals:

    FDI-STD (result)
        FDI-S-K (costs)
            FDI-S-P (primary costs)
            (...)
            FDI-S-NK (service charges)
                FDI-S-NKH (heating expenses)
                (...)
                FDI-S-NKB (operating costs)
        FDI-S-E (revenues)
            FDI-S-EB (gross revenues)
            FDI-S-ES (sales deductions)
            (...)
            FDI-S-EW (valuation adjustment)

and also
    FDI-S-A (payment data)
        FDI-S-AK (down payments to vendor account)
            FDI-S-ANFK (requested down payments)
            FDI-S-ANZK (down payments made)
        FDI-S-AD (down payments to customer account)
        (...)

Requirements

  1. The company code is created.
  2. The controlling area is completely created.
  3. The cost elements and G/L accounts are created.

Activities

  1. Check whether the preset cost element groups meet your requirements ("Display cost element group" activity).
    1. Name the cost element group you want to display and choose the 'Execute' function.
    2. The selected cost element group as well as its hierarchically subordinate cost element groups are displayed. The following edit options are available:

  • By double-clicking on a cost element group, you switch between collapsed ('+' character) and expanded view ('-' character).
  • By means of the functions 'Expand all'/'Collapse all', you can navigate in the hierarchy structure.

  1. You might have to create new cost element groups or change existing cost element groups.
    1. Activity "Create cost element group":
      In this menu option, you create new cost element groups.

  • Name the new cost element group and choose the 'Execute' function.
  • If you want to assign another cost element group - and thus create a more complex cost element hierarchy, position the cursor on the node, from which you want to expand the hierarchy and choose the 'Insert group' function.
    You can now assign an available cost element group (with cost elements) or directly create a new cost element group and then assign cost elements.
  • Choose the 'Maintain values...' function to enter the individual cost elements in the form of intervals. You have to use the respective account numbers to identify the cost elements.
  • Save your entries.
  1. Activity "Change cost element group":
    In this step, you edit existing cost element groups.

For details on the maintenance of cost element groups, see the 'CO Overhead Management' documentation, under 'Master data groups'.

  1. Activity "Transport master data Controlling"
    For the transport, use the corresponding functionality from Controlling. (also see the Controlling Implementation Guide, main chapter "Controlling General", subchapter "Production Start-Up Preparation", section "System Configuration Transport").

Controlling Implementation Guide, chapter "Transport master data configuration"

Further notes

You can combine similar cost elements into cost element groups. Similar cost element groups can be combined to form other cost element groups so as to build a cost element hierarchy.

You can use cost element groups:

  • In the information system

    The row structure of your report is determined by the cost element structure. You can create totals for each node in the report.

  • When processing of several cost elements in one transaction, such as
    • Cost center planning
      • If, for example, you wish to display and plan personnel costs in one work transaction, select the group "Personnel costs".
    • Distribution
    • Assessment
  • Report totalling takes place via cost element group nodes. To achieve a clear illustration, each node on a level must have the same number of subordinate levels.

For more information on how to create cost element groups, please see the extended help for "System administration Cost Center Accounting" in the section "Master data groups", as well as "Cost elements and cost element groups".
