In this step you maintain:

  • Function trees
  • Structure nodes
  • Function references
  • Functions.

The basis for the maintenance of the object is always the chosen environment.

Environment

The Template's environment determines the information of the SAP-environment and the external system that can be accessed. Basically, the functions relevant to each context are already provided in the corresponding environment. Environments always contain a row of sub-environments which group functions by theme; these include material, BOM, routing, and others.

The standard system delivers the following environments:

  • Template allocation (for cost objects, profitability segments,
  • business processes, cost centers/activity types)
  • Formula planning (business processes, cost centers, profit centers)
  • Standard cost estimates
  • Process quantity determination (SOP/LTP)
  • Easy Cost Planning/Internal Service Request

Recommendation

Use the sub-environments provided by SAP as much as possible. When you assign an function to a sub-environment, it is automatically available in all the main environments containing this sub-environment.

Further notes

For more information on environments and a list of these and their sub-environments go to the help for applications of Activity-Based Costing under "Template -> Template Environment".

Function Tree

A function tree is a user-defined hierarchy which structures or groups functions. With the Help for function trees, you can structure groups of functions available in each environment according to their their theme or emphasis. Functions are then processed from here on.

A function tree is assigned to an environment and consists of nodes and function nodes.

  • Environments: all environments are displayed when you call up the n transaction. Environments themselves cannot be changed or deleted. The creation of new environments is also not possible.
  • Function trees: the first level under environments. You can subordinate nodes or function nodes to a function tree.
  • Nodes: nodes are always subordinate to function trees or other nodes. You can subordinate other nodes to a node or function node. In function trees SAP1, nodes contain sub-environments.
  • Function nodes are always subordinate to function trees or nodes. They always refer to a function.

SAP standard delivery for all environments includes function tree SAP1 (for example, for environment 001, function tree SAP1-001). This contains all standard nodes (sub-environments) and function nodes (with reference to the respective function).

Activities

The transaction provides you with left and right screens. The left one displays the existing environments. You can expand the hierarchy and view the function trees, nodes and function nodes in their hierarchical structure. Place the curser on an object you want to process.

The right screen details of the chosen object (environment, function tree, nodes or function nodes) in list form. If you double click on a funciton node you will see the maintenance screen for the functions.
