Assign Cost Centers to Organizational Units

In this IMG activity, you specify which cost center in Controlling (CO) corresponds to an organizational unit (OU) in IS-H. By means of this assignment, you specify the posting rules for the following transactions :

  • Transfer IS-H service to cost centers in CO within the scope of internal activity allocation (IAA)
  • Post revenues to a cost center or a profit center assigned to a cost center within the scope of billing
  • Transfer statistical key figures to cost centers in CO
  • Debit posting to cost centers in CO on account of material requisitions

When assigning cost centers, you must take into account:

  • Which organizational units are specified in service entry (the system defaults the organizational units to which the case is assigned, for example, the department and care unit for an inpatient)
  • What form Controlling takes or is to take.

Cost center assignment can be made in a variety of ways. For example, for cost credit posting, you may require a 1:1 assignment of a care unit or a service facility to the cost center, whereas for cost debit posting, you may consider a departmental perspective to be sufficient. You could also make a special assignment for inter-departmental occupancy.

Note

  • Two rule tables accommodate the various views of the cost center-to-organizational unit assignment.
    • Table NO2K is used for the revenue account assignment view
    • Table NOEK for all other views.

This can result in overlaps in the different views offered by the report you call with this IMG activity. For instance, the views Activity Allocation Receiver and Statistical Key Figures, Combined OU Maintenance produce the same representation. Maintaining cost centers in one view can influence the cost center assignment in another view.

  • You can also call this report directly by
    • Choosing System -> Services -> Reporting, and then specifying RNUHCO06
    • Calling transaction NCOP.
  • Use transaction SM30 to transport the two rule tables NOEK and NO2K. You can also use this transaction instead of maintaining cost center assignments.

Prerequisites

  • The organizational units in question must have already been created in the IS-H System
  • The cost centers in question must have already been created in Controlling and must be valid for the appropriate period. If actual revenue is not to be posted to an internal order, you should allocate it to a profit center (for actual posting of revenue).

Use of Assignments

The assignments for service transfer, statistical key figures and Materials Management are specified using the rule table NOEK. The system uses a parallel rule table NO2K for determining revenue account assignment, thus enabling you to make these settings at another level if required.

1.    Transfer Services to Cost Centers

During the service transfer process, the services entered in the IS-H System are mapped to Controlling activity types that are valuated with the respective quantities and activity prices of the sender cost center. On this basis, a debit posting is made to the receiver (requesting) cost center and a corresponding credit posting is made to the sender (performing) cost center.

For this purpose, the system has to determine a cost center twice:

  • When determining the receiver cost center debited with the costs, the system employs the same logic as with revenue account assignment. In other words, the receiver cost center is determined using the organizational units that request the service in question. This is because the cost center or profit center which receives the revenue should also be debited with the costs. The combination of departmental and nursing organizational units or only the departmental organizational unit which order(s) a service is also relevant here. The requesting nursing organizational unit is displayed in the column OE FA and the requesting nursing organizational unit is displayed in the column OE PF.
  • The system employs a different logic when determining the sender cost center to which the costs are credited. Column OE FA alone is used for this purpose. This column contains the organizational unit performing a service.

Example Service Transfer

The following entries could result:

    Cost Center        OE FA    OE PF

1.    100        SURG    *

2.    101        SURG    SU1

3.    200        INT     SU1

4.    101        SU1     *

5.    500        LAB     *

Row 4 indicates that unit SU1 can both request and perform services. For this, credit postings should be made to cost center 101 already used in row 2 (also when CU1 assigns patients to beds of INT on an inter-departmental basis!). The costs centers of service facilities such as a laboratory must also be entered here (row 5). For services performed by the laboratory, credit postings are made to cost center 500.

Activities

  • Assign a cost center to an organizational unit performing services (view: activity allocation sender) by entering a cost center for the corresponding OU. This OU appears in the column OU FA and an asterisk ("*") appears in the column OE PF.
  • To assign a cost center to a departmental OU requesting services (view: activity allocation receiver) enter a cost center for an OU with departmental assignment (refer to the color legend). This OU then appears in the column OE FA and an asterisk ("*") appears in the column OE PF. To assign a cost center to a nursing OU requesting services, enter the cost center for the corresponding OU with nursing assignment. The departmental OU above the nursing OU in the hierarchy appears in the column OE FA and the nursing OU appears in the column OE PF.

Notes

  • The rules for determining the cost center that receives the revenue can be defined in another configuration table.
  • This basically enables you to define the entries for IAA at a different level (e.g. care unit level) to revenue postings (e.g. at departmental level). You should, however, keep in mind that the area which receives the revenue should be the object of the debit postings for the corresponding costs.
  • You can use auxiliary program RNUNO2K0 to copy all or some of the entries in this table into the rule table containing the cost center assignment for revenue account assignment.
  • Rules that may be set up for inter-departmental occupancy are not used for determining the cost center for statistical key figures.

Customer-Specific Cost Center Determination

The SAP enhancement NHCO0001 provides a function module exit by means of which you can implement an alternative cost center determination without having modify the standard source code. For more information about this option, refer to the documentation for the enhancement and for the function module exit.

2.    Statistical Key Figures

Key figures are determined in relation to organizational units in IS-H and are mapped to statistical key figures in Controlling. To post the statistical key figures to cost centers in CO, the system tries to determine the cost centers for the OUs for which the statistical key figures were determined. The view you selected when calculating the key figures determines which organizational units are taken into account.

Depending on the view, the following entries must be made.

  • Departmental View

    If you calculate and transfer key figures from a departmental perspective, the system tries to determine the cost center that is assigned to the departmental OU. For this purpose, the system only uses the column OE FA of the assignment table NOEK.

  • Nursing View

    If you calculate and transfer key figures from a nursing perspective, the system tries to determine the cost center that is assigned to the nursing or treatment OU. For this purpose, the system only uses the column OE FA of the assignment table NOEK.

  • Combined OU Maintenance View

    If you calculate and transfer key figures from the combined OU maintenance perspective, the system tries to determine the cost center that is assigned to the departmental OU and nursing (or treatment) OU combination. For this purpose, the system searches for an entry of the type OU with departmental assignment in column OE FA and OU with nursing assignment in column OE PF. If an entry of this kind is not maintained, the system uses an entry of the type OU with departmental assignment in column OE FA and "*" in column OE PF.
