Definition

Indicator controlling whether the Activity-Based Costing component (CO-OM-ABC) is active or not.

Use

The following values are valid for Activity-Based Costing:

Component not active

ABC is inactive. Validation of business processes does not take place. They cannot be used as account assignment objects.

Component active for parallel calculation

ABC is active, but may be used only as a parallel calculation. All allocations are not posted as "real" debit/credits, but as statistical postings along the lines of the delta version for Activity-Based Costing.

Component active for parallel and operational calculation

ABC is active without restrictions. Business processes are validated using the business process master record and used as account assignment objects. During allocations, the participating objects are debited and credited as "real" and updated with the corresponding posting transactions.

It is still possible to use allocations based on the concepts of the Activity-Based Costing Delta Version.
