Documentation
Definition
Key uniquely identifying a cost center.
Supplementary Documentation - PTRV_WEB_INTERFACE_KOSTL0001
Procedure
Enter a value in this field if you want to search for reservations that satisfy this criterion.
Supplementary Documentation - PTRV_WEB_INTERFACE_KOSTL0002
Use
In cost center planning, you can plan either an individual cost center or a group of cost centers.
You plan cost center groups if you want to quickly refer back to all cost centers in your responsibility area for planning purposes.
By planning cost center groups, you have the advantage of not having to fill in the initial screen for each individual cost center.
Procedure
You use either a single value, an interval or a group.

Use
Cost center to which the goods movement is assigned
Procedure
Examples
Dependencies
Supplementary Documentation - PTRV_WEB_INTERFACE_KOSTL0004
Use
The new cost center takes on all the attributes of the template cost center that are appropriate for the new cost center in its organizational unit. If the template cost center is in a different controlling area, it is not appropriate to transfer the hierarchy area.
Transferring the company code is currently only possible if:
- The new cost center is in the same controlling area as the template cost center
- You have made a unique assignment of the company code to the controlling area in Customizing
Otherwise you must manually enter data in this field.
Procedure
Examples
Dependencies
Supplementary Documentation - PTRV_WEB_INTERFACE_KOSTL0005
Procedure
Enter the number of the cost center to which the item is to be assigned.
Supplementary Documentation - PTRV_WEB_INTERFACE_KOSTL0006
Use
Procedure
Enter a cost center only if you want to create a material document or a reservation for a cost center (movement type 201 or 251).
Examples
Dependencies
Supplementary Documentation - PTRV_WEB_INTERFACE_KOSTL0007
Use - Asset Accounting
In this field you assign the asset to a cost center. Depreciation values can be posted to this cost center.
Requirements
For the system to post the depreciation values to the cost center, the corresponding indicator must be set in Customizing for the definition of the depreciation posting run.
Additional Information: System Administration Guide
Procedure
Examples
Dependencies
Supplementary Documentation - PTRV_WEB_INTERFACE_KOSTL0008
Use
In the processing of the actual accrual, the costs are debited to the processed cost center while the offsetting posting is made to the credit object defined here. This credit object can be a standard order or a service cost center.
With costs that are not pure accrued costs, the debits from financial accounting as well are posted to this credit object.
Procedure
Either enter the service cost center in this field, or enter the number of a standard order in the order field.
Examples
Dependencies
For each validity period (valid-to date specified), you can only enter one credit object (either an order or a cost center).
Supplementary Documentation - PTRV_WEB_INTERFACE_KOSTL0009
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.
Supplementary Documentation - PTRV_WEB_INTERFACE_KOSTL0010
Use
Procedure
Examples
Dependencies
When you create a maintenance order, the system can automatically transfer to the order the settlement rule selected through the cost center, depending on the settings in Customizing.
Supplementary Documentation - PTRV_WEB_INTERFACE_KOSTL0011
Use
Enter a dummy cost center. No costs will be incurred during closing, but if you have created a cost component for the clearing account, you must specify a cost center so that the system can execute the posting.
The clearing accounts shipped with the country version for Turkey are each linked to a cost component.
Dependencies
Example

Use
Switch for required entry of the cost center.
You can choose whether the cost center (cost center name, controlling area) is a required entry for the business event.
Procedure
Examples
Dependencies
Supplementary Documentation - PTRV_WEB_INTERFACE_KOSTL0145
Use
The system uses the cost center assignment in the asset master record to determine the affected cost center with the following postings that can be assigned to cost centers:
- Depreciation of asset
- Gain or loss from sale of asset
Procedure
Examples
Dependencies
Supplementary Documentation - PTRV_WEB_INTERFACE_KOSTL0200
Use
The accrual object receives the offsetting entry for the accrual/deferral postings.
Procedure
If your accrual object is to be a cost element with cost center, you must use a valid cost center and a cost element of category 03 (accrual cost element for accrued overhead).
Examples
Suppose you want to post an accrual of the vacation bonus for wage earners. You have specified the following:
- The cost elements for the labor costs that serve as a basis for the accrual surcharge
- The percentage to be applied to the base for the accrual
- The accrual cost elements to be debited
The debit of the accruals to the cost elements and cost centers must have an offsetting entry of the same amount. You decide how this offsetting entry should be controlled, and define accrual objects.
You can:
- Assign the offsetting entry to an accrual cost element and cost center
- Use an order
Decide how you want the accruals on your accrual object. You can use a separate credit object for each overhead condition, or you can post one or more overhead conditions to one accrual object.
Remember that the payment of the vacation bonus is posted in financial accounting and transferred to cost accounting. This posting must be made on the accrual object so that it is cleared. You can also see how exactly your accruals were calculated in cost accounting and handle the differences accordingly.
You should select your accrual object outside of your plant information system so that the total of all costs contains the accruals. If you select your accrual object such that it is within the information system, the accruals will not be included in the costs. They will be posted simultaneously to the accrual object in the same amount but with the opposite sign, so they have no effect on the total costs.
Dependencies
If you use a cost center as an accrual object, you must also specify a cost element of the category accrual cost element in the cost element column.
Accrual objects only need to be specified for overhead conditions. All other condition types (base conditions, totals conditions) are handled differently.

Cost Centers
Use
If you do not want a classification into organizational groups, you can select the cost centers here.
Procedure
Example
Dependencies
Supplementary Documentation - PTRV_WEB_INTERFACE_KOSTL1021
Use
Procedure
You can specify an individual cost center that is used for data retrieval. If you need data for more than one cost center, leave the field empty. Instead, enter a cost center group or use F5 for additional selection criteria.
Examples
Supplementary Documentation - PTRV_WEB_INTERFACE_KOSTL1500
Use
For the posting of the CO accrual or overhead rates, an offsetting posting must be made for the debits on the processed objects. This credit can be posted to a cost center or order. The account assignment is maintained under the credit key.
Procedure
Enter a cost center or an order.
Examples
Dependencies
Supplementary Documentation - PTRV_WEB_INTERFACE_KOSTL1600
Use
For the posting of the target=actual cost elements in CO accruals, an offsetting posting must be made for the debits on the processed cost centers. This credit can be posted to a cost center or order. The account assignment is maintained for the target=actual cost element.
Procedure
Enter a cost center.
Examples
Dependencies
Supplementary Documentation - PTRV_WEB_INTERFACE_KOSTL5010
Use
The Cost centre field contains an alphanumeric code that represents a given cost centre. Cost centres are designated areas where costs are accrued.
Procedure
Use this field to identify the cost centre you wish to relate with the organizational unit you are working with. The system automatically proposes a controlling area, however, you can enter something else. To do so either:
- type in the appropriate code, or
- invoke the lookup function by either:
. pressing F4, or
. clicking on the down arrow
