4.2 Organisational structure of module CO in target state


1.4.1 Company Code
The company code is an organizational unit used in accounting. It is used to structure the business
organization from a financial accounting perspective. The company code represents a legal entity for
financial reporting purposes. This means that in all the financial transactions and master data definitions
the company code must be identified.

Schneider Electric KSA Company Code will be KSA1

2.4.1 Controlling Area


Organizational unit within a company, used to represent a closed system for cost accounting purposes.

A controlling area may include single or multiple company codes that may use different currencies.
These company codes must use the same operative chart of accounts.

All internal allocations refer exclusively to objects in the same controlling area.

In KSA:
 Controlling Area Code : ME01
 Controlling Area currency : EUR

3.4.1 Operating Concern


Represents a part of an organization for which the sales market is structured in a uniform manner.

By setting off the costs against the revenues, we can calculate an operating profit for the individual
market segments, which are defined by a combination of classifying characteristics (such as product
group, customer group, country, or distribution channel). The market segments are called profitability
segments.
We can assign multiple controlling areas to one operating concern.

In KSA:
 Operating Concern Code : ME01
 Operating Area Currency : EUR
 All PA reports will be updated in monthly periods. (There will be no daily or weekly data
transfer to PA module.)

4.3 Master data


1.4.1 Master Data

4.3.1.1 Cost Center


The cost center is an organizational unit in controlling area representing a clearly delimited location
where costs occur. Cost center can be defined according to several different design approaches. (eg.
Functional requirements, allocation criteria, activities or services provided, geographic location and/or
area of responsibility) A typical approach could be for an enterprise to define a cost center for each low-
level organizational unit that has responsibility of managing costs. As costs are incurred, they are
assigned or posted to the appropriate cost center.

Any creation of cost centers must be assigned to the cost center hierarchy.

Schneider Electric cost centers are defined according to the organizational units in KSA.

Each cost center will be assigned to a category:


D : DVC
I : Industrial
C : Commercial
A : Administrative

4.3.1.2 Cost Center Group


Hierarchical group of cost centers defined and organized according to selected criteria.

Schneider Electric cost center groups are defined according to the reporting needs on the budget
process.

4.3.1.3 Cost Center Hierarchy


Hierarchical structure which combines several cost centers according to certain criteria.

Standard hierarchy code will be ME01

4.3.1.4 Cost Element


Cost elements captures costs incurred within a particular accounting period. They are closely related to
the general ledger accounts used in FI-GL.

There are two types of cost elements: primary cost elements and secondary cost elements.

4.3.1.4.1 Primary Cost Elements

Cost elements whose costs originate outside of CO and accrual costs that are only used for controlling
purposes.

Primary cost elements will be same with the expense and revenue accounts in GL.

The primary cost elements and revenue elements are directly from the expense and revenue accounts of
the P&L statement.

Primary cost elements correspond to the expense and revenue GL accounts in FI.

The following cost element categories will be used in KSA:


 1 : Primary costs
 11 : Revenues
 12 : Sales deduction

Primary cost element will be defined after chart of accounts creation.

4.3.1.4.2 Secondary Cost Elements


Cost element that is used to allocate costs for internal activities.

Secondary cost elements do not correspond to any G/L account in Financial Accounting. They are only
used in Controlling and consequently cannot be defined in FI as an account.

The following cost element categories will be used in KSA:


 21 : Internal settlement
 31 : Order/project result analysis
 42: Assessment cost element
 43 : Internal activity allocation

Secondary cost element codes will be defined in Realization Phase.

4.3.1.5 Cost Element Group


Organizational entity that combines cost elements of the same type.
Cost element groups can serve various purposes: planning, reporting, distributions, etc.

Expense budget planning process will be managed on cost element groups. “L Codes” will be defined as
cost element groups.

4.3.1.6 Activity Type


Unit in a controlling area that classifies the activities performed in a cost center.

Activity types describe the activity produced or supplied by a cost center and are measured in units of
time or quantity. These are used to charge out costs from cost centers to production orders, projects, and
service orders. Each activity will have a price/rate. Activities will be charged to these cost objects during
confirmation.

In KSA the following activity types will be used:

4.3.1.7 Statistical Key Figures


Statistical key figures represent activities or statistics in a cost center, such as the number of employees,
the floor area of a cost center.

Statistical key figures will be used for different purposes in KSA:


 Distribution Keys (in cycles)
 Non-productive times (for reporting purposes)

Team Sajid Basha Version: 01 Created: 22.07.10 Printed: 11.03.15 Designed:

In KSA, the following statistical key figures will be used:


 Number of employee (quantity)
 Floor area (m2)
 Energy consumption (KWH)
 Production times (hours)
 Non-productive times for each employee
 Etc.

4.3.1.8 Statistical Key Figure Groups


An organizational unit that groups together statistical key figures that are to be processed in one step.

In KSA, statistical key figure groups will be used for reporting for non-productive times. The followings
will be used:

4.3.1.9 Internal Orders


Object used to monitor costs and, in some instances, revenues for an organization.

Internal orders can be used to


 Monitor the costs of short-term measures
 Monitor the costs and revenues related to a specific service
 Monitor ongoing costs

Actual/real internal orders will be used in KSA.

Actual/Real internal orders are used to collect costs and this can be settled to the other cost objects.
The following actual/real internal order types will be used in KSA:

 DAI (Investment Follow-up)


 General Services
 MARCOM

Parameters and number ranges of the internal orders will be defined in Realization Phase.

4.3.1.10 Profit Centers


The profit center is an organizational unit in controlling area representing a clearly delimited location
where revenue is generated. Any creation of profit centers must be assigned to the standard hierarchy.

PCA lets us analyze internal profit and loss for profit centers. This makes it possible for us to evaluate
different areas or units within our company.
Cost centers, internal orders, projects, production orders, cost objects and materials have a profit center
assignment field in their master records.

In KSA, the following organizational units are defined as profit centers:


 Energy
 Power Construction
 Oil Gas & Petrochemicals
 Installation systems & Control
 Services
 Energy Efficiency
 Industry Business Unit
 Building Business Unit
 IT Business Unit
 Strategic Project & Prescription
 Manufacturing & Logistics
 Solution centre

4.4 Implemented process description (Process model)


2.4.1 Distribution (CO – CCA)
Cycle:
Collection of rules for cost allocation.

A given cycle can contain a number of segments. A segment consists of the following elements:
 Sender objects whose values to be allocated are computed using the same rules
 Receiver objects whose allocation bases are computed using the same rules

The sender-receiver relationships defined in a cycle are processed iteratively.

Cycles are only valid in the environment in which they were defined (such as planned distribution, actual
distribution, etc.)

The followings will be defined in the cycles:


 Cost centers or cost center groups
 Cost elements or cost element groups
 Orders or order groups
 Cost object groups
 WBS element groups

Sender and receiver cost centers and related cost elements will be defined.

Common expenses will be posted to the dummy cost centers at the invoice entry transaction. This
process will make easy the invoice entry transaction. Because accountants will enter only one cost
center for the common expenses.

Values of the statistical key figures will be entered to the system or transferred from other applications.
(From LIS, etc.) The following statistical key figures will be used in this process:
 Energy consumption (KWh)
 The floor area (M2)
 Number of personnel
 Etc.
Statistical key figures will be finalized in Realization Phase.

Cycle will be run. (First run: test run, afterwards actual run)

The results of the cycles will be checked. There will be no amount on the dummy cost centers after
cycle run. All the costs/common expenses will be posted to the related cost centers.

3.4.1 Expense Budget Planning (CO – CCA)


Expense budget planning process will be managed on cost element groups (L Codes) in SAR currency.
Various CO versions will be used for each step of the budgeting process. First draft planning will be in
Version 1 by the department managers. Consolidation and evaluation of budget will be done in this
version by the Management Control Manager. Necessary changes will be done in Version 2 by the
Finance Director and General Manager. (Data on the Version 1 will be copied to Version 2.) Budget
approve process will be managed in different CO versions. If budget is approved the last version will be
copied to “Version 0” as the final budget figure.

4.4.1 Activity Unit Price Calculation (CO – CCA)


We can use the following price calculation methods in the plan and in the actual:
Price calculation can be based on:
 Period-based price
 Average prices
 Cumulative price

Period-based price:
The system divides the costs arising in each period by the activity. This can result in different prices in
each period.

Period-based price calculation method will be used with “standard costing” and “RECO” processes, in
KSA.

Average prices:
The average price is based on the total costs from all periods divided by the total activity quantity of an
activity type from those periods. This ensures that the activity inputs of all receivers are valuated with the
same price, regardless of the period in which the activity input occurs.

Average price calculation method will be used with budget costing process.

In the plan, the SAP System considers all the planned activity relationships between cost centers. It
calculates the prices iteratively by dividing the plan costs by the plan activity quantity.

 Expense budget planning will be done “activity-dependent” on “L codes” in direct cost centers.
 Costs of indirect cost centers will be distributed to the direct cost centers.
 Planned working hours will be planned:
 Manual planning: planned working hours will be entered to the system manually.
 Automatic planning: after MRP run, planned working hours will be calculated on related work
centers – cost centers. These planned working hours can be transferred from PP to CO and used
on plan activity unit price calculation.
 In KSA, planned working hours will be entered to the system manually. (Number of personnel, total
production times, % efficiency, non-productive times, etc.)
 Planned costs will be divided by planned working hours. And the planned activity unit price will be
calculated.

Plan Labour activity unit price will be calculated manually and entered to the system. Holiday provisions
will be taken into consideration on labor cost planning. So the planned labor activity unit prices will be
same for each period. Calculation will be made 2 times in a year. (first 6 months and last 6 months)

Overhead activity unit price calculation will be same with labor activity unit price calculation. There will
be no differences between monthly figures.

All of the calculations will be based on SAR currency figures.

During actual price calculation, the system calculates iterative prices for activity types based on actual
costs and actual activities. The calculation takes into account all activity exchanges between cost
centers.

Activity allocations / transfers between direct cost centers will be entered to the system before activity
unit price calculation.

 All invoice entries in FI side, update the cost elements and cost centers in CO module.
 When invoice entries finish in accounting department, budget-actual expense comparisons can be
reported.
 The activity unit price calculation process is same with “plan” cycle.

Actual labor activity unit prices will be calculated with holiday provisions (personnel expense budget) and
planned working hours. Provisions and working time decisions will provide to see the same amounts on
plan and actual activity prices.

Actual production overhead activity unit prices will be calculated with actual costs.

5.4.1 Product Costing (CO – PC)

4.3.5.1 Material Types and Price Determination


Material Types:
Groups together materials with the same basic attributes, for example, raw materials, semi-finished
products, or finished products.

When creating a material master record, we must assign the material to a material type.

The following material types will be used in KSA:


 ROH – Raw Material V : Moving average price
 VERP – Packaging Material V : Moving average price
 HALB – Semi-finished Product S : Standard price
 FERT – Finished Product S : Standard price
 HAWA – Trading Goods V : Moving average price
 ERSA – Spare Parts V : Moving average price
 HIBE – Indirect Materials (consumables) V : Moving average price
 UNBW – Non-valuated Material ---
 DIEN – Services Products ---

Price Control:
Indicator determining the procedure used for material valuation.
Two procedures are available in the standard system:
 Valuation at standard price (S)
 Valuation at moving average price or (if the material ledger has been activated) periodic unit
price
(V and/or PUP)

4.3.5.2 Production Types with CO point of view


In KSA, two main production types will be implemented:
 Product Cost by Order
 Make-to-stock
 Make-to-order
 Product Cost by Period

Product Cost by Order:


We can manage our costs at the level of production orders.

We can use the Product Cost by Order application component in make-to-stock and sales-order-related
production environments.

In Product Cost by Order, the production orders themselves are the cost objects. Costs charged to
production orders are usually analyzed and settled by lot. This means that variances can only be
analyzed after the entire planned production quantity has been put into inventory.

Product Cost by Period:

We can manage our costs by period at the level of production cost collectors.

The application component Product Cost by Period enables periodic analysis of costs at the product
level.

In contrast to Product Cost by Order in which we analyze costs by lot, in Product Cost by Period we
analyze costs by period. This means that we collect the costs on a cost object over an extended period of
time, and analyze the debits and credits in each period.

Product Cost Collector:

Product cost collectors enable us to collect costs at the product level independently of the production
type. Regardless of whether the production environment is order-related production, process
manufacturing, or repetitive manufacturing, we collect the production costs for the product on a product
cost collector and analyze the costs in each period.

4.3.5.3 Cost Object Controlling (CO-PC)


Cost Object
Units of output resulting from the value-added process with which costs are identified according to how
they are incurred.

Cost objects can be independent entities (called cost object IDs), or they can represent other entities
such as orders or projects.

The functions of preliminary costing, simultaneous costing, and final costing can be performed on cost
objects.

The following cost objects will be used in KSA:


 Product cost collectors
 Production orders
 Service orders
 Internal orders
 Sales order items

4.3.5.4 Integration Points with Logistic (master data, some definitions, etc.)(CO-PC)
Bill of Material (BOM):
Bill of material is a multi-level material structure that defines the composition of the main material
reference.
Bills of materials contain essential master data for integrated materials management and production
control. A bill of material is a complete, formally structured list of the components that make up a
product or assembly. The list contains the material number of each component, together with the
quantity and unit of measure.

Order BOM (BOM with reference to a sales order) :

We work with order BOMs when we specially tailor the “make-to-order” production of our products to the
requirements of our customers. In order to meet the customer requirements, sales order specific
modifications to various assemblies are often required. Furthermore, assemblies are often specially
constructed for a particular sales order.
The order specific, modified or created BOMs are saved with reference to materials, sales orders, and
sales order items. BOMs of this category are linked to sales orders, so they are known as sales order
BOMs or order BOMs.
For Master pact, RM6, LC Component

Alternative BOM:
One product can be manufactured from alternative combinations of materials. The product is
represented by a number of alternative BOMs (alternatives). The differences between the alternative
BOMs are only small. Usually the only difference is in the quantity of individual components.

Work Center:
A work Center defines the organisational units where operations or work steps are carried out that
produce outputs of work. Each work center is assigned to a cost center for specific time periods that are
defined in the work center master records.

Work Center in Schneider will represent a group of people, a group of machines or a single production
line.

Work Center will be based on the Production Routing.

Routing:

Routing is a sequence of operations that describe the process and the resources used to manufacture a
product or a semi-finished product.

It defines:
 operations (work steps) and their sequence
 where the work must be done (work centers)
 how much time is needed for the operation
 the quality checks to be carried out
 what materials have to be used (and when)
 The activities to be produced in the operations as a basis for determining dates, capacity
requirements and costs.

Allocation of components will be done to related operations.

The routing is to be defined based on the production flow and the layout on the shop floor.

The routing will consist of work centres which can be differentiated through the various operational
functions.

The routing & rate routing will include the standard times: Labor, machine time, setup, other activities
etc.

Rate Routing:

Rate routings meet the needs of rate-based production schedules in the R/3 PP Module. It contains
specification for production rate, setup and teardown times and assigned production activities. This is
usually used for repetitive manufacturing.

Production Version:
A production version determines which alternative BOM is used together with which task list/master
recipe to produce a material.

For one material, we can have several production versions for various validity periods and lot-size
ranges.

Production versions are used in discrete and repetitive manufacturing.

Production versions are used in material requirements planning (MRP), production order creation, and
product costing to select the most suitable task list or recipe and the corresponding material list.

Production version will be used for DISBOS products

Production Order:
A production order defines which material is to be processed, at which location, at what time and how
much work is required. It also defines which resources are to be used and how the order costs are to be
settled.

 Material master data (all of the necessary views and fields)
 BOM
 Routing
 Work Center – cost Center – activity type relations
 BOM : material usage quantity x raw-material planned prices
Routing: standard production times x activity unit prices
Related activity types are defined in the routing master data.
 Standard costing run will be calculated for the next period. Costing results will be analysed and
checked.
 Costing results will be marked. The planned prices will update the “price of the next period” field in
material master data.
 Costing results will be released at the first day of the month. All of the stock accounts will be
valuated with the new planned prices. Variance accounts will be updated. (variances : standard cost
for the last period and standard costs for the current period) And the standard costing results will
update the “current period’s price” fields.
 A special costing variant will be used in standard costing run. (ZPPC)

4.3.5.6 Raw-Material Costing (CO-PC)

There are no BOMs and routings for raw materials in the system. Raw materials (ROH), packaging
materials (VERP) and trading goods (HAWA) will be included in this process, the raw material price will
be contractual price agreement with the vendor or purchase order price.

4.3.5.7 Preliminary Costing (CO-PC)


We precost a production order for the following purposes:
 To determine the planned costs for the material being manufactured based on the planned lot
size of the order
 To calculate the planning variances and use them to decide what production version to use
 To be able to determine the production variances at a later time

In sales-order-related production, we can use the preliminary costing for the production order for the
following purposes:
 To use the planned costs calculated in this way to determine the planned costs for the sales
order item
 To use the planned costs calculated in this way as the basis for results analysis

Preliminary costing will be run with a special costing variant. Costing will be calculated by the system
automatically according to the system status of the production order. (REL: released) There won’t be a FI
transaction at this step, such as valuating of stock accounts, etc.

Material costs: (BOM in the production order) planned material usage quantities x material unit prices
(planned)
Labor + Overhead costs: (Routing in production order) planned operation times x planned activity unit
prices.

4.3.5.8 Actual Costing in PP Orders (CO-PC)


Actual costing in PP orders is not really actual costing. All of the confirmations and material movements
update the costs in production orders. But the activity unit prices are planned prices at that time. Actual
costing results won’t update the GL accounts.
Production orders, product cost collectors, and sales order items must have the status REL (released)
before they can be debited with actual costs.

Material costs: Material consumption from stock to PP orders x material unit prices (planned)
Labor + Overhead costs: Confirmed times in PP orders x planned activity unit prices

Time confirmations and material consumptions are actual in this step. Material unit prices and activity
unit prices are planned values. Their actual values will be calculated after period-end closing
transactions in FI and CO modules.

Revaluation at Actual Prices:


Revaluation at actual prices supplements revaluation of activity allocations between cost centers. It is
used to correct activity allocations that occurred previously from cost centers to other cost accounting
objects.

We will use revaluation at actual prices for the following objects:


 Internal orders
 Production orders
 Product cost collectors
 Sales document items (for example, sales orders)
 General cost objects
 Projects
 WBS elements
 Networks
 Network activities

If a cost accounting object uses an activity from a cost center, we usually start with a plan price to
allocate the activity. This is because the actual price is calculated during period-end closing. In the actual
price calculation, the SAP system performs an iterative calculation of the prices for the activity types. To
do this, it uses the actual costs that were debited to the cost center, and the activities actually incurred.
During this process, the system accounts for all activity relationships between cost centers.

After actual price calculation, we can revaluate the objects at actual prices if they have used the
activities from cost centers. We do this using Revaluation at actual prices (revaluation). The system
always determines the variances between the costs posted up to this point and the costs that occur under
the new prices. The corresponding sender cost center is credited by the actual price revaluation and the
receiver is debited accordingly.

WIP Calculation:
The WIP calculation function valuates the unfinished products. (Work in process) The WIP is valuated at
actual costs. Work in process is the difference between the debit and credit of an order that has not been
fully delivered. The system status of the manufacturing orders can be PREL (partially released) or REL
(released).

Variance Calculation:
Stage in the period-end closing process that determines variances for the following objects:
 Product cost collectors
 Production orders

Production variances are calculated based on the different between the actual cost against the standard
cost of semi-finished and finished goods produced. Production variances can be analyzed in terms of
price, quantity and other variances.

The main variance categories are:


 Input price variance: Input price variances are caused by differences between the planned and
actual prices of the materials and activities used.
 Resource-usage variance: Resource-usage variances are caused by the use of different materials
and activities than were planned.
 Input quantity variance: Input quantity variances are caused by differences between the planned
and actual consumption quantities of materials and activities.
 Lot size variance: Lot size variances are only calculated if the planned quantity is different than the
confirmed quantity (the delivered quantity).
 Others….

Settlement:
Full or partial allocation of calculated costs from one object to another.

The following objects can be Settlement senders in KSA:


 Internal orders
 Production orders
 Service orders
 General cost objects
 Sales order items
 Networks
 Projects

The following objects can be Settlement receivers in KSA:


 Assets
 Internal orders
 Profitability segments
 Cost centers
 Sales order items

4.3.6.1 Master Data in PS


Project Definition:
The project definition is the framework for all objects within a project. The project definition contains
dates as well as organizational information that are binding for the entire project.

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS):


Hierarchical outline of an undertaking described in the project definition.

The work breakdown structure (WBS) forms the basis for the organization and coordination of a project.

A WBS consists of various WBS elements. The WBS elements describe specific tasks or actions in the
project to be carried out within a defined time period.

Work Breakdown Structure Element:


WBS elements are the individual structure elements in the work breakdown structure (WBS).
The term describes a concrete task, or a partial task, which can be further subdivided.

Network:
Object containing instructions on how to carry out tasks in a specific way, in a specific order, and in a
specific time period.

Activity:
An activity is a task in a network which has a defined start and finish. An activity can be broken down into
activity elements.
There are four categories of activities in the Project System:
 Internal activities
 External activities
 General costs activities
 Service activities

4.3.6.2.1 Equipment Standard Cost


The standard cost of the equipment mainly is composed of two main parts, product cost of the
equipment and the Project Office cost that will be used in design of this equipment. Product cost may
only be calculated after the BOM and routings are finished. That is trivial because the costing of a
product will be calculated by the material used for this product and the activity costs that will be spent for
production will be calculated by the time planned for production and standard activity unit price in the
relevant cost centre.
As the BOM and routing is completed, it is so important to run the standard costing for the newly created
this finished good. The level of the Product Cost Detail may be seen in CO-Product Costing.
Of course we have to refer at this point to the materials that have no material code that are existing on
Equipment BOM’s. Normally there is no standard cost for materials without code. But to make the cost
planning efficient on the BOM there can be a forecasted cost on this BOM line. Otherwise, only after
Purchase Orders are created for these materials the Price on Purchase Order will be seen for these
materials which will delay the complete cost calculation of the equipment and so the project.

The Project office standard cost will be calculated by the time planned and entered to PS (work in hours
on activity) by the Project Office Responsible, and the Standard Unit Price of the Labour Activity in Cost
Centre Project Office.
These two will give us the equipment cost which will be accumulated on related Equipment WBS. Since
every equipment on the Project will have different WBS, it will be easy to distinguish the cost of different
equipment on the project.

4.3.6.2.2 Planning of Purchasing and Subcontracting


The initial cost planning for the materials and the subcontracting activities to be procured by EPS will be
done on PS module as these are added to project. The cost of the materials to be internally procured will
be calculated by the standard price of this material and the quantity allocated for the project.
For external procurement, there will be a price entry on PS as these are added to activities as
components. This will be seen as the planned costs. Later when the Purchase Orders are created, the
prices on Purchase Order will be regarded as planned costs.

4.3.6.2.3 Planning of Financial Expenses


The only financial cost that will be charged to the project will be the Insurance expense. The planned
cost will be entered as a cost element to Project Plan.

4.3.6.2.4 Planning of Other Costs


The planning of the other costs (such as plane and meal expenses of EPS project and customer) will be
entered as cost expenses to the project.

4.3.6.2.5 Planning of Services Costs


The Services departments activities that will be used in the project will be planned first by the planned
man-hour of this activity and the planned hours will be multiplied by the labour activity unit price of the
Services Cost Centre.
Later as the Services department is notified and a CS order is created, the planned cost on the CS order
will be regarded as planned cost.

On the CS order the actual material, labour and other expenses will be accumulated. These actual costs
will be affected to Project Actual Costs. Actual costs on the CS orders will be settled to the project. So,
services costs will be accumulated on the project.

Expenses such as insurance, transportation, or plane will be related to the project during the entry of the
invoice. (Since we do not open a Purchase Order for these expenses, but directly post the invoices from
Accounting) These invoices had to be related to the Project during the invoice approval cycle.

4.3.6.3.4 Settlement to PA
These actual expenses will be accumulated at WBS header (Project WIP) until an invoice is made. As
the invoice is prepared from the SD, it is important to distinguish between partial invoicing and last
invoice. When the last invoice is prepared all the actual costs are to be Settled to Cost of Goods Sold,
and the turnover and all the costs are also to be settled to Profitability Analysis at the end of each period.
The product pyramid will be on Dummy material on SD order. Therefore the related activity/Family will
get this turnover and costs.
For partial invoices the situation is more complex. There may be unrealised cost on the Project but the
invoice may be related to some part of it. Therefore to put all the accumulated cost to COGS and PA
may result in wrong judgements. So the cost to be settled here has to be calculated by the forecasted
margin.

7.4.1 Services Costing (CO-PC)


Costs of Services activities will be followed on CS orders.

CS orders will be cost objects in CO. Actual costs will be collected on CS orders, and Settled to the
related objects. (SD orders, cost centers, GL accounts, CO-PA, etc…)

Services projects will be managed in PS module. The main costing process will be same with the other
projects in PS.

Planned Services activity unit price will be calculated at the beginning of the year, and will be used
during the year. Actual activity unit price will not be calculated. The differences will be followed on
“commercial based costs”.

Costing items of CS order will be:


 Material costs
 Labor costs
 External labor (subcontracting costs)
 Overheads
 Expenses (*)
 Others

(*) job expenses (specific to CS order: travel, accommodation, food, etc.)

9.4.1 Profit Center Accounting (CO-PCA)


CO-PCA primarily serves to calculate internal (plan and actual) results for profit centers according to the
cost-of-sales accounting approach.

In addition, CO-PCA lets us analyze certain balance sheet items by profit center. This also makes it
possible to control the necessary key figures for an area of responsibility.

Profit Center Accounting is account-based. That means, the values are updated in CO-PCA according to
account. Consequently, we can reconcile the data here with that in Financial Accounting.

CO-PCA provides us with a comprehensive and flexible information system for analyzing our data by
period. We can access the original postings from FI, CO, SD, MM, and so on directly to identify potential
weaknesses.

EC-PCA provides you with a comprehensive and flexible information system for analyzing your data by
period. You can access the original postings from FI, CO, SD, MM, and so on directly to identify potential
weaknesses. Using the report/report interface, you can drill down to the information systems of other
components.

The graphic below shows how a report is built in the cost-of-sales approach.

1. The revenues and the costs of sales are listed in the report rows by account.
2. Variances in production orders are assigned via the accounts to which the data was posted. You
can assign all debits and credits to the production cost centers using a separate function area,
for example Production, for the variances in the production cost centers. The difference which
arises gives you the desired variances.
3. The rest of the overhead for the period is entered in the corresponding report rows by function
area.
4. The report rows for data from non-operating results are found using the corresponding accounts.

4.3.9.1 Profit Center Structure


In KSA, the following profit centers are defined:
 NRG BU
 Oil Gas & Petrochemicals
 Power
 ISC
 Services
 Energy Efficiency (EEM)
 Industry Business Unit
 Building Business Unit
 IT Business Unit
 Yemen BU
 S2 Business
 Support functions profit center
 Dummy
(*)The dummy profit center is the default profit center to which data is posted when the corresponding
object has not been assigned to a profit center.

We can find out which objects are not assigned to profit centers by analyzing the postings assigned to
the profit center. We can also assess or distribute data from the dummy profit center to the desired profit
centers.

It may happen that some objects in our system are inadvertently left without an assignment to a profit
center. In this case, postings to accounts which are defined as revenue or cost elements are assigned to
the dummy profit center of the controlling area to which the object posted to belongs. This ensures that
us internal and financial accounting data are reconciled.

The dummy profit center is structured just like a normal profit center. The only difference is a flag
indicating that it is the dummy profit center.

The other “dummy” profit centers are specific for KSA. They’re characteristics/definitions are like normal
profit centers.

(**) Dummy- profit centre are “allocation” profit centers. They will be used for cost allocations.

4.3.9.2 Profit Center Assignments


We divide our company into profit centers by assigning all the objects which contain profit-related data to
your profit centers. By making these assignments, we can also display selected balance sheet items in
CO-PCA.

We can only assign objects from one controlling area to a profit center

These assignments make it no longer necessary for us to post our data explicitly to profit centers. The
system automatically transfers the data to CO-PCA when it is posted to the original object. We can
reflect both actual and plan data from the assigned objects in Profit Center Accounting in this manner.

The following data is transferred to Profit Center Accounting:


 Revenues and sales input - through assignment of sales document items
 Direct costs - through assignment of production orders and cost objects
 Overhead costs - through assignment of account assignment objects from Overhead Cost
Controlling (cost centers, orders etc.)

An object’s assignment to a profit center is stored in that object’s master record.

4.3.9.2.1 Assigning Materials

Assignments of materials to profit centers provide the default values for assignment of sales orders and
manufacturing orders.

With internal goods movements also (such as stock transfers or material withdrawals) the profit center is
derived from the material master, if no other account assignment has been made.

The assignment of materials also forms the basis for the transfer of material stocks to Profit Center
Accounting.

The assignment material  plant is only valid for a single plant.

LV products will be managed in the same plant (SA01). The differentiation for common materials
between profit center will be made on the CO objects. (sales orders, production orders, etc.)

4.3.9.2.2 Assigning Cost Centers

We need to assign cost centers to profit centers so that we can reflect all the primary costs from
Financial Accounting and all secondary allocations from Cost Center Accounting in Profit Center
Accounting.

The assignment of a cost center also implicitly assigns all the assets which belong to that cost center to
the profit center.

In KSA, following cost center – profit center assignment will be used:

4.3.9.2.3 Assigning Assets

By assigning assets to profit centers, we can represent profits and losses due to the sale of assets as
well as accrued depreciation and interest in Profit Center Accounting.

This assignment also makes it possible to transfer asset portfolios to Profit Center Accounting.

An asset is always transferred implicitly to Profit Center Accounting via an assigned internal order or cost
center. Where the asset is assigned to both objects, it is transferred to the profit center contained in the
master data for the internal order.

Other assignments will be managed during transactions, if needed.

4.3.9.3 Revenue & Cost Elements

The transaction data in Profit Center Accounting is stored in the accounts contained in the chart of
accounts for our controlling area. These accounts include those from Financial Accounting which are
used in Controlling (primary revenue and cost elements) and accounts which occur only in controlling
(secondary revenue and cost elements).

In addition, we can also transfer some accounts used only in Financial Accounting (payables/receivables,
material stocks, work in process, and so on) in order to analyze assets, material inventories, product
stocks, and changes in stock by profit center. These particularly include payables and receivables,
material stocks; work in process, and others.

We can define any number of hierarchical structures of accounts for use in the information system,
allocations and planning. These structures are called account groups. These account groups are only
valid in Profit Center Accounting.

Cost and revenue account groups will be defined in Realization Phase.

4.3.9.4 Statistical Key Figures

Statistical key figures provide information on non-monetary data for profit centers, such as the number of
employees, number of machines, capacity usage, market information, and so on. We can group
statistical key figures together into statistical key figure groups.

4.3.9.5 Planning

Planning will not be done in CO-PCA. Only actual data will be monitored on profit centers.

Distribution and Controlling which affect profits are reflected in Profit Center Accounting.

Profit centers cannot receive direct postings in the R/3 System. Instead, the data is posted to other
objects and passed on from there to a profit center in Profit Center Accounting. This makes it possible to
display our company’s results by profit center based on the original postings and with no additional work.

The system stores the following currencies in Profit Center Accounting:


 Company code currency (SAR)
 Any one Profit Center Accounting currency for each controlling area (EUR)
 The currency in which the business transaction was processed (transaction currency)

the preceding document.

The exception to this rule is an SD billing document with valuated project stock. With this type of billing
document, the profit center is determined dynamically from the WBS element contained in the actual SD
billing document.

The profit center is always determined dynamically from the FI or FI-AA document.

4.3.9.10 Transferring Balance Sheet Items

We can transfer the following balance sheet items to Profit Center Accounting in the standard R/3
System at end of period:
 Payables and receivables
 Material stocks
 Assets
 Work in Process

4.3.9.11 Assessment & Distribution

Assessment and distribution are described under the umbrella term Allocations.

Assessment and distribution of relevant overhead costs is performed at period closing (actual data) or
plan closing (plan data). This is usually done directly in CO and then reflected in the data in Profit Center
Accounting.

If we have an allocation profit center in our profit center hierarchy, we may need to assess or distribute
costs again in Profit Center Accounting.

In Profit Center Accounting, the allocation function allows you to allocate the following plan and actual
data.
 Costs (assessment and/or distribution)
 Revenues and sales deductions (assessment and/or distribution)
 Balance sheet items (distribution)

Assessment is made using a special cost/revenue element.

In distribution, the original cost/revenue element/account number is retained.

10.4.1 Profitability Analysis


There are two forms of profitability analysis in CO-PA:
 Costing-based profitability analysis
 Account-based profitability analysis

Profitability analysis in CO-PA is based on the cost-of-sales accounting method. In KSA, we will activate
“Costing-based Profitability Analysis”.

Costing-Based Profitability Analysis:

A form of profitability analysis in CO-PA.

Costing-based Profitability Analysis represents costs, revenues, and revenue deductions for internal
controlling purposes. The direct costs are collected from the relevant material cost estimate for the
product sold. All values are stored in value fields.

Cost of Sales Accounting:


Cost-of-sales accounting is a type of Profitability Analysis. It is used to support decision-making in sales
and marketing departments. With this approach, the revenue for the units sold is transferred from the SD
system or from an external billing system to CO – PA. Sales deductions and manufacturing costs are
assigned to each unit sold.

Profitability Analysis makes it possible evaluates market segments, classified by product, by customer,
by profit center, and so on. This CO module can answer this type of =S= questions like margin by
customer, by country, by DAS activity and by product family.

4.3.10.1 Characteristics
The characteristics in Profitability Analysis represent those criteria according to which you analyze your
operating results and your sales and profit plan. Valid values of these characteristics are combined to
form profitability segments.

Profitability Segment:

Object within Profitability Analysis to which costs and revenues are assigned.

A profitability segment corresponds to a market segment. We can calculate the profitability of a


profitability segment by setting off its sales revenues against its costs.

A profitability segment in an operating concern is defined by a combination of characteristic values.

4.3.10.2 Value Fields


Value fields contain values and quantities that were updated or planned for particular objects.

In costing-based profitability analysis, value fields represent the highest level of detail at which we can
analyze quantities, revenues, sales deductions, and costs for profitability segments in profitability
analysis or contribution margin accounting. We are free to define which revenues and costs go into which
value fields for profitability reports or sales and profit planning when we set up our system.

The following value fields will be used based on the requirements known as of today:
 Pricing conditions of SD module
 PR00 – Gross price
 PN00 – Net Price
 Discount types:
 ZD01 - % of basic discount
 ZD02 - % of additional discount
 ZD03 - % campaign discount
 ZD05 - % Commercial discount
 ZDO6 - % Contract Dis-1
 ZDO7 - % Contract Dis2
 ZDO8 - % Marketing Discount

 Materials Intra Group
 Materials Outer Group
 Materials without reference
 Packaging Materials
 Direct Labor
 Subcontracting Labor
 Other production overheads (direct cost centers)
 IBC – Overheads (indirect labor + overheads on the indirect cost centers – depreciation)
 IBC – Depreciation (direct c.c. + indirect c.c.)
 DVC – Material
 DVC – Labor
 DVC – Others
 IBC
 CBC
 ABC
 Management allocations
 Variance (if needed)
 Other value fields will be defined during Realization Phase, if needed.

4.3.10.3 Derivation
Derivation is the process by which the system automatically fills characteristic fields that do not have
values.

Derivation Rule:
Rule that we define in derivation using IF-THEN logic, which controls how certain target characteristic
values are automatically derived from source characteristic values.

Derivation Strategy:
The derivation strategy is a list of steps the system performs to derive unknown characteristic values
from known values.

In KSA, “customer hierarchy” and “product hierarchy” characteristics will be derivated in CO-PA. Other
derivation rules will be defined in Realization Phase, if needed.

4.3.10.4 Valuation
Valuation is the process of identifying or calculating cost accounting values in Profitability Analysis. We
can valuate both plan and actual data.

In KSA, “valuation using material cost estimates” method will be used. This method makes it possible to
determine the costs of goods manufactured when a transaction is updated in CO-PA. This method is the
main integration point between CO-PC and CO-PA.

Standard cost estimate results will be updated at the beginning of the period. All of the transactions will
be transferred to CO-PA with standard costing results. After period-end closing transactions in CO,
Material Ledger results will update related value fields in CO-PA.

Special conditions types will be used for configurable products in SD. Because, standard cost estimate
will be calculated in SD orders. The costing results will not update material master records. All of the
information will be kept in the sales orders. And the costing results will be transferred to CO-PA with
these special condition types. Necessary condition types will be defined during Realization Phase
according to the different scenarios.

Standard cost estimate, actual costing and costing for configurable products will be based on different
costing variants in CO-PC.
