Cost Centres
• An organisational unit within SAP to which costs (and income) can
be assigned
• Six digit number e.g. 252000
• Used to track costs of departments/major activities
Cost Elements
• Used to collect and summarise costs according to classification
• Five digit number e.g 50010
• Main ranges:
• 40000 to 49999 External Income
• 50000 to 69999 External Costs
• 70000 to 74999 Internal Income
• 75000 to 75999 Internal Costs
• 80000 to 89999 Secondary Transfers
Cost Element Groups
• Cost elements can be combined into groups of the same type
• Used to create reports
• Standard reporting group REP_01
• Displays costs within main University budget headings
Example
• KAH3 - Display cost element group
Cost Centre Structures (1)
Standard hierarchy
• Tree structure containing all cost centres
• Reflects University accounting structure
• Core activities - DC
• Other services - DS
• Restricted funds - OR
• Endowment funds - EN
• Research awards - RG
Cost Centre Structures (2)
Department Codes
• AUVI - Media Services
• CSER - Careers
• INSS - ISS

SAP Projects
• Can report on individual cost centres or groups of cost centres
Alternative cost centre groups
Cost Centre Structures (4)
Examples
• OKENN - Display cost centre standard hierarchy
• KSH3 - Display cost centre group
Internal Orders
• Cost object used to monitor costs at a detailed level
• Eight digit number e.g. 95000001
• Linked to cost centre – provides sub-analysis
• Simplifies cost centre structure
• Used to track costs of individual activities e.g. projects, short courses

Editor's Notes

  • #18 We saw earlier when you post to a cost center, the system generates a statistical posting into a profit center, there’s relationship between the two areas. In the same way, there is a relationship between internal orders and cost centers. Each time a transaction is posted to an internal order, the sap system creates two entries to the management accounting information system.It posts a statistical entry to the order and an actual entry to the cost center. Once again there is the potential to have a many to one relationship between the order and the cost center.
  • #20 The University uses internal orders in order to provide more detailed analysis of expenditure at resource center level. Once again, it is possible to set up internal order groups in order to facilitate reporting and there are no constraints as to the combination of order groups you can create.
