Definition

Indicator used to define a cost center category.

Use

The master data of an activity type includes one or more cost center categories. The activity type may be used only by cost centers of the appropriate categories.

You define categories in Customizing. For each category, you can define default values for the "Lock" and "Record quantity" indicators, for transfer to cost center master data. Maintain these indicators only if the entry diverges from the default cost center category.

In addition, you may use the categories for reports and evaluations.

Examples

  • Production cost center
  • Service cost center
  • Administration cost center

Use

In an activity type master record, one or more cost center categories are stored. The activity type may be used only by cost centers of this category.

Categories are defined in the IMG for Cost Center Accounting. Each is given default values for the "Lock" and "Record quantity" indicators transferred to the cost center master data. These indicators must be maintained in the cost center master data only if they are to diverge from the default values given.

In addition, the cost center category can be used in evaluations.

Examples

  • Production cost center
  • Service cost center
  • Administration cost center
  • Etc.

Note

Field changes

The data in this field can be changed daily.

Time dependency

You can define this field as time-based in the configuration menu of Cost Center Accounting.

  • If you activate this indicator, you can maintain separate data for any number of different time intervals.
  • If you do not activate this indicator, you can make only one field entry valid for all intervals. If, however, you change a time-based field, you can enter a new value in the non-time-based field that is valid for the interval of the time-based field.
