Controlling: Controlling is nothing but a organizational structure with cost accounting environment
where revenues and costs are monitored controlling is used for minimize the cost.
If an organization divides their accounting operations into i.e. Internal Accounting and External
Accounting.
Controlling involves recording both the consumption of production factors and the services provided by
an organization
3. Internal orders
5. Product Costing
6. Profitability Analysis
Controlling Area: It is a highest organizational unit in controlling. One controlling area can be assigned
to many co. codes
All the co. codes can maintain different currency, no problem, but all the co. codes has to maintain same
operating chart of accounts and fiscal year.
-If we assign more than one co. code to one controlling area, then we need to note the following points
2. The fiscal year variant in co code must match the fiscal year variant in the controlling area.
3. You should execute period end closing in controlling for all company codes at the same time.
Whenever execute period end closing, it possible only after closing FI.
4. If you use one controlling area, you can use only one operating concern.
**** Cross company code controlling postings that can be displayed in the reconciliation ledger.
We can also easily derive the relationship from the controlling area to plant.

Versions: We can used versions to create independent data groupings in planning and in
actual. *versions are defined at client level
Operating Concern: It is the highest hierarchy in controlling profitability analysis (COPA). All the
controlling areas can be assigned to operating concern to get the profitability as per market segment.
An operating concern is the central organizational structure in profitability analysis.
Each operating concern represents an area in which a market segment of a business can be
monitored and its profitability analyzed.
A corporate group usually maintains only one operating concern. This operating concern is
assigned to all existing controlling areas.
That assigns their cost to that operating concern. Revenues are assigned directly to Operating
concern from FI.
Cost Center Accounting: Cost Center is a area of responsibility where costs are incurred. Cost center
represents a small unit of responsibility with in the organizational structure.
Cost Element Accounting: It describes origin of cost. Cost element is used for representing specific costs
incurred by the organizations. Where actual expenditure takes place.
Cost element classifies the organizations valuated consumption of production factors within a
controlling area
1. Primary Cost Element: Primary cost element can be created for FI & CO. Direct posting a fixed
amount to an account by specifying account no.
Primary cost element generates an account of consumption of production factor externally. Here
allocation & settlements possible. When ever you are creating primary cost element, it can be
corresponds to GL accounts.
2. Secondary Cost Element: It origins at an account of production factor internally. Secondary cost
element does not corresponds to any GL account in FI
Here allocations are possible, settlements are not possible
Cost Element Category: The classification of cost elements according to their usage or origin.
11-Revenues
12-Sales Deduction
22-External settlement.
Cost Element group: Cost Element group is an organizational entity that combines cost elements of the
same type.
Revenue Element: An object that records the value of operating sales within the controlling area.
Primary cost element can be created FI level (FS00) and CO level (KA01).
Functional Area: Functional area used to categorize an organization according to functional aspects such
as Manufacturing, administration, sale & distribution, R&D etc.
Cost Center: Cost Center is an organizational unit within the controlling area that represents a location
of cost incurrence.
-Functional Requirements
-Allocation criteria
-Physical Location
Cost Center Category: An attribute that determines the type of cost centers.
Cost Center Hierarchy: That indicates hierarchy of cost center groups in which all cost centers within the
controlling area.
Cost Center Tab: (KS01) Basic data, control, templates, address, and communication, history.
Cost Center Group: A hierarchical group of cost centers and organized according to selected criteria.
Internal Orders: This will be useful to know item wise cost like Raw material consumption for a
particular period. To monitor collect the cost internal orders are used.
Internal orders are used to plan, collect & settle the cost of internal jobs and tasks.
Internal orders are used to plan, collect and analyze the cost arising from internal activities.
1. Overhead Order: For short-term monitoring of the indirect cost arising from jobs. They can also
be used in continuous.
2. Investment Order: Monitor investment costs that can be capitalized and settled to fixed assets.
5. Model order.
Object Class: The object class categories the object in the controlling application component according
to their managerial purpose and makes it possible to analyze flows of costs according to managerial
aspects.
-overhead cost
-production
-investment
-profit analysis.
**Object class is used to classify controlling object such as cost centers, orders and cost objects and to
display the cost flow within controlling from a business prospective.
Order Type: The order type sub-divided orders, according to their purpose.
*Each order type contains numerous pieces of information which are necessary to managing the orders.
Real Orders: Real orders are the cost objects. Later we have to do settlement to the particular receiver
object.
The expenses incurred for maintaining that vehicle will be added to the order. Based on the mileage
used by each department, we can settle the expenses to different cost centers by using statistical key
figures.
Statistical Orders: These are used for information purpose. Settlements are not possible here. E.g.
create statistical order for each account wise.
Profit Center: It’s an opportunity to know the profit for a particular product; product wise, location wise,
business area wise. We will create profit center or to know individual profit for each product we use or
profit center is the management oriented organization unit used for internal controlling purpose. We
have to segregate the each product cost into different profit centers. To analyze the area of
responsibility we will create profit center.
Activity Type: It defines main functions and services provided by a cost center & used as cost object like
cost center internal orders etc.
When we want to transfer amount from one cost center to other cost center with out FI entry, we
use repost line item.
Re-Post Cost: If you want to transfer amount from one department to other department
Assessment: This is used for allocation of costs transferring primary and secondary cost from sending
cost center to receiving cost objects.
Distribution: This is used for allocations of primary cost to cost center. The receiving cost center will
have the information on primary cost elements. The procedure is similar to period reposting.
Profitability Analysis: This is meant for decision making and reporting purpose. To know the profitability
product wise, sales organization wise, customer wise we use it.
Profitability Analysis provide on the basis of Decision making, Customer Selection, Price
determination.
Profitability Segment:
-The operating concern is divided into individual market segment for which profitability analyses can be
carried out.
e.g. Customer, sales organization, Distribution Channel, Product, Divisions etc. are the
Characteristics.
Object of Co-PA: is to support sales product management, corporate wide planning and decision making
using external view from a market oriented perspective.
-*Normally the largest amount of data transferred into CO-PA is from SD billing Doc.
These are two types:
a. Costing Based Profitability Analysis: This type of analysis is primarily design to let you analyze
profit quickly for the purpose of sales management.
CO-PA is not updated until the billing document is created, at which time COGS, revenues, discount,
freight and etc..
**When ever we are following cost based CO-PA value fields must. The value fields contain amount
and quantities that were updated or planned for particular.
b. Accounting Based Profitability Analysis: This type of profitability analysis enables you to
reconcile cost and financial accounting at any time using accounts.
Account based CO-PA created to allow to users to reconcile CO-PA data to FI data.
In account based CO-PA, COGS is updated in CO-PA at the time of delivery (goods Issue), remaining
updated at the time of billing.
The Main difference of Acct based COPA and Costing Based COPA

Characteristic Source.
Source Fields:
you can used the following operating concern fields as source fields.
Target Fields: All the user defined characteristics and all copied from SAP tables
Validation: A validation is a valuable tool that can be used in many of the financial, controlling and asset
accounting.
Validations are used to check settings and return a message if the perquisite checks condition is not
met.
Substitution: Substitutions are similar to validations; they actually replace and fill in field values behind
the scenes without the user’s knowledge unlike validations that create on-screen message to the user.
Client Copy: This application in particular to copying the entire customizing environment of the source
client to target clients either within one sap system or to a different sap system.
SAP designs empty modification modules at particular points in the standard system where customer
enhancements are anticipated. These modules known as exits.
Sand Box Client: Accelerated SAP. In the development system, a client other than the official
customizing client, used for testing the applications and customizing function.
It is created as a copy of the SAP reference client (000) the entire implementation team has access to
this client for experimentation and education. The sand box client can be used to test changes to
essential structures, such as the number of company codes and to ensure that these changes will work.
**we raise invoice, local currency i.e. company code currency f-43
Define account for payment difference obxl i.e. automatic transfer for payment difference.
Statistical Key Figures: Statistical values describes in cost centers internal orders, business processes
and profit center accounting
There are two types of statistical key figures i.e. fixed values and total values.
Fixed Values: Fixed values are carried forward from current posting period to all subsequent serials.
Total Values: Total values are posted in the current posting period only.
Statistical Key figures unit may be by way of measuring H-Hours, Ea-Each and
LBS-Pounds.
Account Determination (CO): A procedure that determines adjustment accounts for reconciliation
posting between CO and FI manually or automatically by means of substitutions.
(FI) An automatic function that determines the accounts in posting amounts in financial accounting.
Reconciliation Ledger: Reconciliation ledger used for summarized display of values, that appear in more
detailed from in the transaction data.
Cost Objects: The unit of output resulting from the value added process with which costs are identified
according to how they are incurred.
2. Production orders.
3. Process orders.
-cost center
-orders
-projects
-networks
-Sales Orders
-Cost Objects
-Profitability segment
-Business process
What are the Basic setting in your client?
-Chart of Accounts
-Fiscal Year
-Currencies.
Account Assignment Objects: Assigning the information from GL accounts to the controlling objects
using account assignment objects.
Profit Center Accounting: Profit center accounting is an organizational unit in accounting that reflects a
management oriented structure of the organization for the purpose of internal control.
Purpose: Operating results from profit center can be analyzed using either the cost of sales approach or
the period accounting approach.
