SAP CO: A Quick Introduction
SAP has multiple modules and SAP CO is one of the proven finance modules that help to
coordinate, monitor, and optimize all processes within an organization. The main objective of this
module is to help information managers and decision-makers where the organization’s money is
being spent. It does not obey any legal restriction but considered a vital internal cost accounting
tool.
The module involves both recordings of production factors and services rendered by an
organization. Further, it helps to manage and configure the master data that covers cost elements,
cost centers, internal orders, profit centers, profitability analysis, and more. In brief, we can say
that the SAP CO module focuses more on planning and monitoring tools.
SAP CO Modules
SAP controlling Module is divided into six major components that are designed with specific
purposes. We will cover each of these components in our training program one by one to deliver
maximum knowledge about the module. These components are:
▪ Cost Element Accounting: This component gives the idea of the Company’s cost and
revenues based on profit and loss statements that are also termed as income statements.
▪ Cost Center Accounting: This component will provide an overview of costs associated
with internal departments or divisions like HR, Sales, Marketing, or production
departments.
▪ Internal Orders: This component will help to manage costs for smaller internal projects
or non-fixed assets.
▪ Product Cost Controlling: This component will help to manage the data needed to
produce Company goods and services. It will also include Overhead Cost Calculation and
Activity-based Calculation.
▪ Profitability Analysis: It helps you to analyze the profit statements that further help
managers in making sound decisions.
▪ Profit Center Accounting: This component handles all of the cost data related to the
company's business lines. It deals with both expenses and revenues, unlike Cost Centers,
which deals only with expenses.
