priority of account assignment

[Former Member]

i am thinking if i post cost to both cost center and sales order,which one has high priority?

[former_member380737]

Here is the hierarchy for cost objects

Production Order

WBS Element

COPA Characteristics for sales order

Internal Order

Cost Center

Profit Center

These objects follow the real and statistical order based on this hierarchy. For example If you use PO & WBS, PO would be real. Same way if you use WBS and CC, WBS would be real. Hope this helps

hi,

Cost center is always cost object, but sale order sometimes may not be cost objects.

if sale order is cost object , it takes higher priority and if it is not a cost object then Cost center will take first priority.

Dear,

Sale Order and Cost center are independent in structure...

A sales order is a customeru2019s binding request to an enterprise to deliver a specific quantity of products, or to provide a service at a specific time.

Cost center provides information on the costs incurred by your department.

Note: You will post the costs to the order and not to a cost center.

Hope your clear

Dear,

There is no concept called Prority over here. But yes your question is valid in regards of Real and Statistical posting.

If sales order and cost center both are posted in the same line item then Sales Order will recieve the Real Posting and Cost Center will recieve statistical posting.

Statistical posting means it is for information only so that you can perform any further activity to statistical posting like Distribution, Assessment etc. whereas you can do in Real posting.

hi,Chintan,can we change that,i means whether we can change real posting to cost center,and statistical posting in sales order?

[Former Member]

Hi

You cannot change that.

Cost center assignment will become real if the related order is statistical and vice versa.

If you want to make a real posting to cost center, then you need to enter a order of statistical type.
