Posting to a cost centre from a sales order

[Former Member]

Hi all. We are currently in the process of replacing a third party system which deals with publicity mailing and taking the process onto our SAP system.

At the moment a report is run on the third party system at month end which details the months costs (freight and handling) which is then uploaded into SAP by JV in order to make the postings to the correct cost centres.

However, the current method of raising orders via email will be replaced with raising sales orders on SAP. The sales order will obviously allow postings to a profit centre via the material, but how do I then get the costs into a cost centre for reporting and budgetary control?

I originally thought of using OKB9, however the relationship is not a simple one profit centre to one cost centre, and the costs have to be split across multiple costs centres.

Any ideas would be extremely welcome.

If you need any further info just let me know.

Many thanks

There are a couple of options depending on how the data comes in and how you want to disburse it. You could use a substitution rule and you could also do CO allocations as well. This is because you have one profit center and many cost centers. One to one is a an easy flow match.
