Overheads in PS

[S0022314014]

Hi All

I am having some difficulties on finding the overhead values and information. Simlpy, our company is calculating overheads on Budgets, ECPs, Plan Costs, and Actuals. We would like to build a report on overheads and other costs as well.

Now, I heard that COSS is the table for overhead costs. There are some business transactions which I could find might be relevant with Overheads but I cannot be sure of which ones are relevant for the reporting and which one is which.

• KAFD External data transfer
• KAMV Manual cost allocation
• KEKZ Unit costing (overhead)
• KOAL Actual settlement of IAA
• KOAO Actual settlement
• KZPI Actual overhead (periodic)
• RKIU Actual Overhead Assessment
• RKIV Actual Overhead Distribution

Now, I need help on the following topics:

1) Which business transactions and which fields in COSS tabel should I use to extract the Budget/Plan ECP/Plan Costs on NW/Actual Overhead Cost amounts

2) Is there a better way to do that? ie A standard extractor, a FM etc. ?

3) COSS table has too many columns on it, which column should I extract the corresponsing Overhead Value?

Many thanks in advance.

Regards

Hello

You can use standard T code CJ44 - Apply overhead costs. You must run period end process to allocate actual Overheads costs.

In case you are using only WBS , execute CJ46 to get the planned costs based on the variant set in the planning profile.

In networks you can set up to determine plan costs automatically.

In case you are using SAP BI /BW , I suggest you refer SAP Note - 573962.

For SAP BI overhead cost controlling can be understood by referring above link.

The table to review are:

COEP - this is the CO document line item table.  It is the lowest level and most detailed.

COSS and COSP are summary tables based mostly from COEP and used for reporting.

COSS is for secondary Cost Elements and COSP is for Primary Cost Elements.

Hi

I found out couple of interesting additional information which still keeps the above questions oppen

I believe instead of COSS, the better table would be RPSCO. The Value Category field can be used to filterout the Overhead Costs. Value Type field can be used for additional filtering.

But my question 2 still remains. Is there an extractor for this? or a FM?
