Responsibility <State Service Duration a Provider, duration. Customer or Joint Service Provider and Customer> Purpose In Cost Accounting, it is often necessary to impute costs (for planning reasons) that have a different equivalent or none at all in Financial Accounting. Such costs are called accrued costs. They – – are divided into valuation differences and additional costs. The SAP system uses accrual calculation to model both cases automatically. In accrual calculation, costs that are posted irregularly in the individual periods in Financial Accounting are distributed among the individual periods according to cause (on an accrued basis). This step is for On Premise and Enterprise Cloud Customers only. One example of such accrued is the holiday bonus. In Controlling, the holiday bonus is distributed among the 12 months of the year, to charge all the months equally. If you did not distribute the holiday bonus among all the periods, you would have an intolerable cost fluctuation for the month of December, which would distort the operating profit for that period. To avoid such fluctuations, the costs are posted on an accrual basis in Controlling, which distributes the costs in a manner that is both according to cause and pertinent for the period. Prerequisites To determine the actual accruals, a costing with valid overhead rates must be defined in Customizing. The structure of the costing sheet is taken from the planned accrual. An order serves as the accrual object. This accrual order corresponds to the one used in the plan, which enables you to compare and contrast the plan and actual costs. You have to enter postings in Financial Accounting to create values in the system as a basis for the accrual calculation. For demo purposes, you could enter a G/L account posting for salaries for account 61051000 and cost center 17101101 (offsetting entry to bank account 11001000 in credit), for example.
