Basic Overhead Cost Controlling1 PurposeThis configuration guide provides the information you need to set up the configuration of this building block manually.If you do not want to configure manually and prefer an automated installation process using the SAP Best Practices Installation Assistant and other tools, refer to the SAP Best Practices Quick Guide.
2 Preparation2.1 PrerequisitesBefore you start installing this building block, you must install prerequisite building blocks. For more information, see the building block prerequisite matrix (Prerequisites_Matrix_[xx]_EN_DE.xls; the placeholder [xx] depends on the SAP Best Practices version you use, e.g. BL refers to the SAP Best Practices Baseline Package: Prerequisites_Matrix_BL_EN_DE.xls). This document can be found on the SAP Best Practices documentation DVD in the folder ..\BBLibrary\Documentation\.
3 Configuration Overhead ControllingUseIn this step, all the Customizing settings from the Central Cost Center Accounting building block are copied to the development client.
ProcedureAccess the Customizing activity as described and make the settings according to the table values listed in this documentation.

3.1.2 Maintaining Versions
UseVersions enable you to have independent sets of planning and actual data.
Version 0
Planning- Integrated planning is set- Copying is allowed- Exchange rate type M with value date = start of fiscal year- Valuation version for internal activity allocation = 0- Integrated planning with cost centers/business processes
Price calculation- Purely iterative price- Actual and planned periodic price (the costs of the individual period are divided by the activities during that period, which may result in different prices for each period)- You can initiate revaluation in a separate business transaction and revaluation at actual prices. The original allocations for the planned price are not changed in the process. Instead, the system posts the deviation from the allocation for the planned price in a separate transaction.
© SAP AG Page 10 of 84
SAP Best Practices Basic Overhead Cost Controlling (103): Configuration Guide
More versions: 1, 2, 3 (plan versions only)
Planning- Integrated planning is set- Copying is allowed- Exchange rate type P with value date = start of fiscal year- Valuation version for internal activity allocation = 0- Integrated planning with cost centers/business processes
Price calculation- Purely iterative price- Periodic price
Integrated planning controls whether or not planning data from Cost Center Accounting and Activity-Based Costing is passed on to other applications (such as Special Purpose Ledger or Profit Center Accounting), and whether or not line item documents are written each time planning data is changed.
Integrated planning- Controls whether or not planning of an internal order is integrated in a plan version with cost center planning.
Strictly iterative priceYou should only set this indicator if you use output prices that have been set manually for planning activity types. If the indicator is set, price calculation will also include the calculation of a strictly iterative price, in addition to the price that results from your planning (for example, through a mixture of iterative and manually set allocation prices). When determining this strictly iterative price, the system acts as if there were no manually set prices. As a result, the allocation prices for all activity types are also determined iteratively for all the cost centers in this version.

3.2.2.1.3 Maintaining Allocation Structures — Settlement Cost Elements (CE)
UseThere are two types of settlement:
settlement by cost elements settlement by settlement cost element
PrerequisitesThe allocation structure, assignments and sources are maintained.
For the second type you have to define the following cost elements, to ensure that settlement is successfully executed: Internal settlement (means internal CO): Cost element category 21 (secondary). External settlement (means receivers in external accounting e.g. in Asset Management):
Cost element category 22 (primary).
ProcedureCarry out the following steps:

3.2.2.3 Defining Order Types
UseThere are several kinds of order types in controlling. The order category determines the technical properties of orders. The most important order categories in overhead controlling are:
Order category Description
01 Internal order
02 Accrual Calculation Order
03 Model Order
Accrual OrdersYou use accrual orders to monitor the period-related accrual calculation between the expenses posted in Financial Accounting and the accrued costs charged in Cost Accounting. You can therefore take the expenses you record in Financial Accounting and distribute them as accrued costs across multiple periods. Order Type:Y9A0 Internal Order – Accrual Cost Accounting External Number Assignment: 9A00 + Sequence Number Settlement Profile: 20 Not Matched with Revenue
Internal orderThese order types differ in two attributes in revenue management and the settlement profile. You can uncheck the “Revenue Postings” flag for order type Z010 (Third-Party Services) if necessary.
As cost centers cannot manage true revenues, special customizing settings are needed to settle cost centers with orders for which costs are matched with revenues.
You define a number of control parameters for settlement in the settlement profile. The settlement profile is a prerequisite for later entering a settlement rule for a sender in the order master record. The settlement profile is usually defined in the order type.
If the costs are for information only you could create a statistical internal order. In this case you have to mark the checkbox ‘statistical order’ on tab index ‘Controlling data’ by creating an internal order.
The statistical order does not require a settlement profile, since statistical costs and revenues cannot be charged further.

4 Configuration Budget and Plan 4.1 Budgeting and Budget Management (Define Tolerance
Limits for Availability Control)
UseThe monitoring of allotted funds is a primary element of order controlling. At any time, you can call up the funds overview, an overview of all allotments and their types. Particularly with critical orders, the allotted funds can exceed the funds made available at an early stage.In addition to the funds overview as a “passive availability control”, an “active availability control” has been implemented that enables you to prevent excessive allotments from occurring in the first place. Based on the defined tolerance limits and when certain activities are recorded, the system checks whether the available budget or available released budget (release) is still sufficient.
ProcedureCarry out the following steps:1. Access the activity using the following navigation options:
IMG Menu Controlling Internal Orders Budgeting and Availability Control Define Tolerance Limits for Availability Control
Transaction Code SPRO
2. On the Change View “Order Availability Control: Tolerance Limits”: Overview screen, choose New Entries.

Account Assignment
UseWhen you create accounting postings, the system proposes a corresponding cost accounting-relevant object if a default account assignment is configured for the account involved.You could use, for example, the default account assignment for the following business transactions:
Transferring price differences posted in Purchasing as the result of different prices during invoice receipt
Revaluating material stocks Transferring inventory differences
If you use the Logistics components, it makes sense to use the default account assignment for those cost elements that are automatically posted to from the Logistics modules (logistical income statement accounts).

6.2 Accrual Calculation6.2.1 Maintaining Overhead Structure for Accrual
Calculation (Actual and Plan)
UseThere are costs that occur only once a year, although they are incurred throughout all periods of a year. Accrual calculation provides for an even distribution of such costs over all periods.You must define accrual parameters. These parameters are usually identical for the plan accrual and the actual accrual.You define an overhead percentage rate for accruing the additional employee benefit costs. Reference cost elements are the costs for wages and salaries. The accrued costs are credited to an order with category Y9A0 (Internal orders: Accrual).
PrerequisitesCost elements used for accrual by surcharge:
