It discusses the main components of SAP CO including cost center accounting, profit center accounting, internal orders, product costing, and profitability analysis. It also describes how CO integrates with other SAP modules like FI, MM, SD, and PP. The implementation of CO is recommended to be done in three phases: foundation, stabilization, and enhancement. Key aspects of each CO component are defined including how organizational structures are set up, budgets are planned, and costs and revenues are allocated.

The rule of SAP-CO in the business


environment

Controlling (CO) is the term by which SAP refers to


Managerial Accounting.

Managerial accountingis concerned with the


provisions and use ofaccountinginformation to
managers within organizations, to provide them with
the basis to make informed business decisions that
will allow them to be better equipped in their
management and control functions.

Managerial VS Financial accounting

Components of SAP-CO

Cost Center Accounting

Profit Center Accounting

Internal Orders

Product Costing

Profitability Analysis

Implementation
Consideration

Controlling implementation depends on how


well is the implementation of the other
components:

FI-MM-SD-PP-HR

SAP recommends Controlling implementation


to be carried out in 3 phases:
Foundation.
Stabilization.
Enhancement and Optimization.

Controlling Integration

Financial module plays the role of a Feeder


system.
All Financial transactions relevant to profit and
loss accounts are updated in the controlling in
real time.
This happens in real time through the
component Cost Element Accounting.
Any transaction in non-financial modules like
MM-SD that have a financial impact on profit
and loss are updated in controlling instantly.

Organizational Structure

Cost Center Accounting

Used for internal controlling purposes


and make the costs more transparent in
an organization.
If you have overhead costs, they need to
be allocated to the actual department
that owns that cost.
Focus is on managing cost per plan.
Performance is managed by comparing
planned and actual costs.

Cost Center AccountingContd

The structure of cost centers is heavily


dependent on each organization.
Before creating a cost center, you should
outline the standard hierarchy of the
cost centers.
Standard hierarchy allows you to
visualize the organization from the
controlling perspective.

Activity types and planning

Used to measure the output or the


contribution of cost centers to the
organization.
Ex: Quality control cost center ,the output
which is Inspection Hours is an activity
type.
Activity inputs -which are primary cost
elements- and activity output quantities
and prices are planned and compared to
actual values so that any variance can be
measured and analyzed.

Activity flow and allocation

Cost center: Budget Planning

Cost center accounting also allows you


to set up a monthly budget by cost
center.

You can compare the actual values


against the budgeted values and
establish timely availability checks in
case the budget is exceeded.

Profit Center Accounting

Primarily used for management-related


reporting for internal purposes.
Defining an organizational element as a
profit center entails that the unit is being
managed independently by a person
who is responsible for the
profit(revenues and costs).
Difference between profit center
accounting and profitability analysis.

Internal Orders

Used for managing small projects that need


to be budgeted and managed
independently .
Ex: setting up a marketing kiosk in a
cultural event.
Internal orders accounting allows you to
plan, budget, collect ,and settle the costs of
a mini project in a process oriented fashion.
Real and statistical orders.
Settlement process and receivers (Fixed
Assets-Cost Centers-Profitability Segment-

Internal orders

Product Costing

The basic question that CO-PC aims to


answer is this: what is the material cost
of a product?
Measuring the value added by each
process and organizational unit.
Supports make or buy decisions.
Determine true inventory and COGS
values.
Come up with price floor for unit cost.

Product costing integration

CO-PC is heavily integrated with PP and


is effective only in conjunction with PP
and MM.
All of the master data of CO-PC depends
on PP for BOM, routing, work centers,
and relies on cost center accounting for
activity types prices.
Product cost planning and standard cost
estimate.
Planning with or without Quantity
structure.

Costing Variant

Profitability Analysis (CO-PA)

The key difference between CO-PA and


profit center accounting (EC-PCA) is that
PA is the external view of the
organization while PCA is the internal
view of the organization for
management reporting.
CO-PA is a market oriented perspective,
you can report profitability by customer,
customer group, division, product,
product group, distribution channel, and
so on.

Conclusion

Controlling can help your


organization:

Improve productivity and insight.


Reduce costs through increased flexibility.
Support changing industry requirements.
Provide immediate access to enterprise
information.
