This scope item covers transaction-based actual postings that are used in overhead cost controlling. The purpose of overhead cost controlling is the planning,
allocation, control, and monitoring of overhead costs.
Cost center accounting takes the costs incurred in a company and allocates them to the actual subareas that caused them. During period-end closing, these
costs are distributed to cost centers through automatic allocation. By allocating the cost elements to cost centers in overhead cost controlling, you can
control your costs and compare plan and actual costs. The plan/actual comparison at the end of the period helps you to plan, control, and monitor cost
behavior. Overhead cost controlling is also a prerequisite for further allocating overhead costs to cost objects (CO-PC), which enables you to conduct a
period-specific profitability analysis.
This document provides a detailed procedure for testing this scope item after solution activation, reflecting the predefined scope of the solution. Each
process step, report, or item is covered in its own section, providing the system interactions (test steps) in a table view. Steps that are not in scope of the
process but are needed for testing are marked accordingly. Project-specific steps must be added.
This section summarizes all the prerequisites for conducting the test in terms of systems, users, master data, organizational data, other test data and
business conditions.

2.2 Roles
Assign the following business roles to your individual test users.
Note The following roles are provided as example roles from SAP. You can use these as templates for your own roles.
Purpose
The controlling area must be set before you carry out the first steps in controlling.
Procedure
Purpose
The first time you execute a design studio report. you must set report relevancy. If you make a subsequent change in cost center, profit center, or G/L
hierarchy, perform this step again to get the latest information.
Also, you must manually replicate set-based hierarchies (such as Cost Center Group or Profit Center Group) and financial statement hierarchies to the
backend database hierarchy tables. Normally, this is created as a periodic job that runs in the background.

Purpose
● The default content comes with budget profile CC001- Cost Center Budget and mapped to sample groups for travel cost and material. The customer must
either adopt this profile or create new as per your requirement.
Adjustments to the budget profile CC001 has to be adapted for your specific company requirements prior to any budget-relevant postings. Retroactively
capturing budget-relevant postings is not possible.
• Cost Center Budget availability control is at G/L account group (unlike Project this is not linked to FSV and semantic Tags)
• G/L account group can be created either via the Edit Cost Element Groups app or the Manage Global Accounting Hierarchies - GL Account Hierarchy app.
• All the G/L account group assigned to a particular budget profile should be part of same G/L account Hierarchy (top node of groups).
• To actively use hierarchy created via Edit Cost Element Groups app in customizing, the prerequisites to set report relevancy via Set Report Relevancy - Set-
Based Hierarchies (HRY_REPRELEV) app (for example, for default content set class 0102, org YCOA, set name YBA000-CE and Include sub-node), and
replicate runtime hierarchy (example for default content 0102/YCOA/YBA000_CE) must be carried out. The default content comes with GL Hierarchy
YBA000_CE and customer can assign any groups to this as per their requirements and edit the predefined profile CC001- Cost Center Budget.
Note Make sure to always replicate runtime hierarchy after any change to the existing hierarchy to reflect the change and before mapping the groups in this
SSCUI step.
The scope item Overhead Cost Accounting consists of several process steps provided in the following table:

In this activity, you execute an assessment cycle (Cost Center). Both cost centers and work breakdown structure elements can be used as receivers in the
assessment cycle. In this example, cost center as receiver is demonstrated.
The plan assessment cycle demo data has been created for testing. For details on how to create your own plan assessment cycle defining senders and

Using profit center distribution, it is possible to distribute balance sheet account balances to and from various profit centers. In this business example, the
assets are held in a central profit center (shared service), and these amounts and costs are allocated across the various business units’ profit centers.
Prerequisites
1. Create an asset using the Create Asset app using Asset Class 2000. For details on how to create asset, refer to Create Asset (BNI).

Note This section is only applicable if you select the non-standard scope item Commitment Management. You have additional features in cost centers to view
commitment which comes via purchasing.
Commitment management is part of the cost monitoring process. Commitment management line items in SAP S/4HANA Cloud are triggered by expense
purchase requisitions and/or purchase orders that utilize cost centers and a material master. These commitments are updated in Extension Ledger 0E
(predelivered) in ACDOCA table. Commitments are reduced by various business transactions such as goods receipt.
Prerequisites
● To use commitment management functions, a nonstandard scope item 2I3 must be selected and activated. Once activated, commitment management
ledger 0E is active and applicable for all company codes and countries.
● Master Data requirement: Specific cost centers relevant for your commitment tracking must be unlocked. See the procedure on Exclude Cost Center Data
for Commitment Management [page ] 29.
● To view commitments in the report, an open purchase order and/or requisition must exist. For details on creating purchase orders, refer to Consumable

Purpose
n this activity, you download the template and prepare your plan data for upload. Depending on the scope of your solution, the plan data you fill the template
with will differ. In this script you download two templates: Cost Center Planning Data and Market Segment Planning Data. Use the sample data to populate
the template. If you have plan data already in your system and would like to copy the data to a new Plan Category, application Copy Financial Plan Data
(F3396) can achieve this without the need to manually upload the data.

Responsibility <State the Service Provider, Customer or Joint Service Provider and Customer> Duration Enter a duration.
Purpose
Once the plan data file is saved in the template, open the Import P&L Plan Data app and select a source file.
The app performs the following checks:
1. The app checks whether the values in the source file are valid. If required, it returns a list of error messages. You must correct the values in the source file
until they are all valid before you can proceed.
2. If all values are valid, the app selects the distinct values for all characteristics of the plan data scope (as defined in the third row of the source file).
● If no plan data exists in the system for any combination of these characteristic values, you can directly import the plan data.
● If plan data exists in the system for any combination of these characteristic values, the app displays the affected values. It assumes that you want to
completely replace the existing plan data by the new plan data import.
Note One source file must therefore always contain full plan data sets for a certain combination of the characteristics you specified in the third row (the plan
data scope).
