Calculating Imputed Costs With the Cost Element Percentage Method

The employee benefits "vacation bonus" and "annual bonus" are calculated in plan and actual based on wages and salaries.

The key A-B1 WAGES (cost elements 420000 und 421000) and A-B2 SALARIES (cost element 430000) form the calculation base for the surcharges.

To balance the accounts with FI, the SAP System collects the credits each month on an order (credit object).
In FI you post the total expense as one sum to the the order. You can display the balance between CO and FI at any time.

The credit objects in this example are shown in the chart below:

    -------------------------------------------------------
    | Credit           | Valid thru | Cost elem | Order   |
    -------------------------------------------------------
    | E11 vac. bonus   |  001 1999  | 434 000   | 9A99    |
    | E12 annual bonus |  001 1999  | 435 000   | 9A99    |
    -------------------------------------------------------

The link between the calculation base and the credit is set up in the "SAP000" costing sheet
