Documentation

Definition

Key that differentiates the cost object IDs according to their intended use.

Use

The cost object category controls the following:

  • Which fields appear in the cost object master data
  • Which control parameters, such as the cost object profile, are defaulted to the cost object master data
  • Which functions are available with cost object IDs

Examples

  • When you create a general cost object, your entries in the cost object category control the following, for example:
    • Whether the general cost object has a periodic time base, or if it should be processed cumulatively.
    • Whether costs can be planned for the general cost object.
    • Whether overhead rates can be calculated for the general cost object.
  • When you create a cost object hierarchy and then create individual cost object nodes, your entry in the cost object category controls the following:
  • Whether distribution is allowed for the cost object hierarchy.
  • Whether variances should be calculated for the cost object hierarchy
  • How price differences should be settled from the cost object hierarchy
  • Whether all orders for a material assigned to a cost object must be analyzed through the cost object hierarchy as a whole, or whether the orders can be analyzed individually
