AC405 Lesson: Event-BasedPostingsWithinandOutsideManagementAccounting
Orders are updated by event-based postings from different SAP application
components, like in Cost Center Accounting.
InFinancial Accounting, you can assign postingsof primarycosts(suchasfor
external servicesanddeliveries) toanoverheadorder.
InMaterialsManagement,goodsreceiptsandgoodsissuesmayresultinprimary
cost postings to an overhead order.

• Tomap commitmentsmanuallyin ManagementAccounting, you needto
enter funds commitments.
• Repostingfunctionsallowyoutopostprimarycoststoanorder. Youcanpost
secondarycostsfromacostcentertoanorderwithdirectactivityallocations.
• Youcanrecordstatisticalkeyfiguresforuseasthebasisforallocationsto
your orders and for analyzing your orders.
Whenyoupostactualcosts,thesystemautomaticallycreates:
• Totals records
• Line items
A totalsrecord summarizesall the costs posted to the order under a particular
cost element.
Topostactualcoststoanorder,theorderstatusmustallowthistypeofbusiness

Lesson Objectives
After completingthislesson, youwillbeable to:
• Describetransactionsintheperiod-endclosingthatcanleadtodebitpostings
on the orders
• Define and use the overhead costing sheet
• Post overheads to internal orders and understand the results in the
information system
Business Example
Youroverheadordersmustbeincludedinperiod-endclosing. Thisalsoleadsto

mustdecidewhethersurchargesshouldbeappliedwhenoverheadcostsarepassed
on and, if so, how they should be calculated.
Figure 99: Overhead Costs (1)
Overhead costing is the means by which you allocate overhead costs to the
appropriateobjectsbyapplyingapercentageorquantity-basedfixedamountto
aspecifiedcostbase. Thebasisforoverheadapplicationarethoseprimarycost
elementswhichwereposteddirectlytotheorder. Inthemanufacturingindustry,
forexample, theseareusuallythelaborandmaterialcosts.
You can apply overhead to both planned and actual costs or on the basis of
commitment data.

cost is added as overhead.

The overhead typedetermineswhether the overhead calculation isfor actual,
plan, or commitment data
The credit key defines which object (cost center or internal order) is credited
tooffsetthedebittoyouroverheadorder. Youalsospecifywhichcostelement
should be used to post the overheads.

Overheadorderscanbereceiversofcostcenteractivityallocations. Inanactivity
allocation,theactivityquantityisenteredinthetransactionandevaluatedusing
the plan price or a manual actual price. Revaluation allows you to revaluate
activity allocations based on an automatically generated calculation of actual
price. Unlikecostcenteraccounting,thisrunsinaseparatetransaction.
Using Activity Based Costing (CO-OM-ABC), you can allocate costs from
businessprocessesto overhead orders. The allocation isdefined by a process
template developed inActivityBased Costing.
