Overview
This chapter describes the business problems you can solve with the BusinessObjects Cost Center Rapid Mart and the types of analyses you can do with this Rapid Mart. The information in this chapter is useful for those who want a business-level overview of the Rapid Mart and its benefits. This chapter includes the following topics:• What you can do with this Rapid Mart• Supported analyses• Related Rapid Marts• Fitting into the accounting process• Business Objects Cost Center Rapid Mart Schema

What you can do with this Rapid MartThe BusinessObjects Cost Center Rapid Mart is designed to handle data from the controlling (CO) module of SAP. The Rapid Mart enables businesses to manage and monitor expenses and meet internal accounting needs for users within management, marketing, finance, accounting, sales, and manufacturing.The BusinessObjects Cost Center Rapid Mart addresses 4 sub-modules of CO:• Cost element accounting (CO-CEL)• Cost center accounting (CO-OM-CCA)• Overhead (or internal) order accounting (CO-OM-OOA)• Profit Center Accounting (EC-PCA)The Rapid Mart simplifies the data organization in all three areas, making it easier to investigate, analyze, and report on accounting transactions and balances. Specifically, the Rapid Mart accesses the SAP master data files to create fact and dimension tables.Like other Rapid Marts, the BusinessObjects Cost Center Rapid Mart is made up of several componentized sections. Each section supports a subject related to analysis of business expenses: • Cost Transaction Section — Tracks actual primary and secondary cost

transactions for both internal and external costs at the line item level or rolled up to any dimension.


OverviewWhat you can do with this Rapid Mart 2

• Cost Summary Section — Tracks planned (budgeted) and actual cost period balances (both vertically and horizontally) by organization structure, cost object, fiscal period, and other dimensions. In vertical format, the data is presented with one row per fiscal period. In horizontal format, the data is presented with one row per fiscal year with upto 16 fiscal periods represented on each row of data. SAP only presents the horizontal format. The vertical format is achieved in the Rapid Mart ETL process with Data Integrator with Hierarchy Flattening Transforms, and Pivot Transforms.

• Profit Center Transactions Section — Tracks planned and actual costs and revenue by profit center, fiscal period, and other dimensions. The profit center transactions are categorized as either “Actuals” or “Planned” (Budget) transactions. SAP also segregates the data in this manner by storing the “Actuals” and “Planned” transactions is separate database tables.

Additionally, the Rapid Mart provides a series of hierarchies that are available to all sections. Hierarchies are a group of dimensions with flexible vertically and horizontally flattened accounting structures (or sets) for:

• Activities• Cost Center• Cost Elements• Internal Orders• Project Elements• Profit Centers

Each of these hierarchies is in turn linked to data from the sections (Cost Summary, Cost Transaction, and Profit Center).Each of the cost hierarchies may contain records that are valid in SAP but invalid for the Rapid Mart. This occurs when a node in the hierarchy is defined as both parent and child of itself. This results in a circular dependency that cannot be resoved by the Rapid Mart.The BusinessObjects Cost Center Rapid Mart identifies these records and loads them into separate validation tables. This allows you to correct the data in SAP and then re-load the Rapid Mart.Chapter 3: Rapid Mart Subject Areas discusses each of these sections in more detail and describes how to link them together to form a complete cost analysis solution.

OverviewRelated Rapid Marts 2

Related Rapid MartsComponents of the BusinessObjects Cost Center Rapid Mart are related to other Business Objects Rapid Mart components. For example,• Vendor and material components are included in the Purchasing Rapid

Mart and the Inventory Rapid Mart.• The internal orders in this Rapid Mart include the production planning

orders found in the Production Planning Rapid Mart.• Profitability analysis from the revenue reported in the Sales Rapid Mart.Each of the sections listed in “What you can do with this Rapid Mart” on page 12 is a component. You can identify a component within a Data Integrator job by a “C_” prefix before its name. For example, the component that contains cost transactions and the associated reporting dimensions is named C_CostTransaction_Section_SAP.

The same components can be used in multiple Rapid Marts. For example, a component that extracts information about materials bought, produced, and sold is needed for a Rapid Mart that supports sales analysis and also for a Rapid Mart that supports inventory analysis. Work flows that extract star schema “dimensions” are components. You can add a component to any Rapid Mart using a simple import procedure. A Data Integrator job can include multiple instances of a component. For example, each section includes all the required dimension components. Therefore, a job with several sections may include several instances of a particular dimension component. Components are set to execute only once within a job. This “execute once” feature ensures that shared components do not cause duplicate data extraction from SAP. For more information about the “execute once” feature, see the Data Integrator Designer Guide.

Fitting into the accounting processThe SAP Cost Accounting process consists of the following elements:• Personnel costs• G/L expenses• Asset depreciation• Billing documents• Sales orders• Goods issues


OverviewFitting into the accounting process2

• Purchase ordersYou can combine the sections contained in the BusinessObjects Cost Center Rapid Mart with the purchasing sections from the Purchasing Rapid Mart, the sales order section from the Sales Rapid Mart, the employee payroll section from the HR Rapid Mart, and the general ledger information from the Accounts Payable and the Accounts Receivable Rapid Marts to create a comprehensive view of costs incurred by your enterprise. .

Rapid Mart Subject AreasOverview3
Overview
Each section in the BusinessObjects Cost Center Rapid Mart pertains to a particular subject area. This chapter describes each section and the processes each section captures. The information in this chapter is useful for readers who use the Rapid Mart to develop reporting solutions for SAP Controlling module and need to understand the data in the Rapid Mart and how it relates to SAP. This chapter discusses: • Cost Analysis Basics• Cost Transaction Section• Cost Summary Section• Profit Center Transactions Section

Cost Analysis BasicsThe BusinessObjects Cost Center Rapid Mart details and processes transactional, summary, and master data obtained from cost accounting transactions, cost objects, and other areas. These include:• Cost Objects

• Cost Centers • Internal Orders• Project Elements• Activities

• Financial Organization Structure• Cost Elements• Projects• Profit Centers• Vendors• Accounting HierarchiesEach of these areas is detailed on the following pages.


Rapid Mart Subject AreasCost Analysis Basics 3

Cost ObjectsWIth Cost Objects, costs are identified according to how they are incurred. They are not an accounting system as such, but rather a detailed recording of data that forms the basis for cost accounting. They are used to post accounting transactions that describe such configured entities as Activities, Internal Orders, Cost Centers, an Project Elements. Cost Objects are mutually exclusive. That is, each Controlling transaction can refer to only one type of Cost Object. Thus, a transaction for an Internal Order, cannot also refer to a Project Element.SAP ties the various Cost Objects together with Cost Elements (a type of GL Account). Different types of Cost Objects will post to the same Cost Element. Thus, the Cost Element is used to consolidate these transactions. For more details see “Cost Elements” on page 28.

Cost CentersSAP’s cost center accounting sub-module tracks where costs occur in your company. Cost centers can be defined in several ways. For example, you can define each low-level organizational unit that has responsibility for managing costs as a cost center. As these organizational units incur costs, such as payroll, rent, and utilities, SAP posts the costs to the unit’s cost center. Cost centers can also be defined by functional requirement, allocation criteria, activities or services provided, geographic location, or by area of responsibility.Initially, cost center transactions are posted by other parts of SAP, such as financial accounting (FI) or materials management (MM). An assignment field in the transaction directs the costs to a cost center.Depending on the type of cost center, some or all of a transaction’s costs may be assigned to other cost centers or controlling objects. For example, a cafeteria provides internal services to other cost centers and might allocate its operating costs to those cost centers.SAP can allocate costs when work is completed, when other business events take place, or at the end of each accounting period. SAP can allocate costs based on specific measurements, such as number of employees in a cost center or on the actual cost incurred.In the Rapid Mart, cost elements are derived from the object number (SAP Field COEP.OBJNR) assignment on Cost Transactions. When object number starts with “KS” or “KL”, positions 7 - 16 of the object number are the cost element.


Rapid Mart Subject AreasCost Analysis Basics3
Internal Orders
SAP allows companies to track an internal order throughout its life cycle, from creation through the planning and posting of actual costs, up to final settlement.SAP uses internal orders to receive cost postings that track the costs associated with a particular accounting entity—be it an event, a transitional activity, or type of activity. By using internal orders, SAP enables and preserves detailed information regarding the types and amount of costs that these accounting entities incur. At the end of each accounting period, SAP can use the settlement function to allocate the order costs to the responsible cost center. Internal orders can receive cost postings through various types of transactions, and can also pass costs along to other objects in CO. When an internal order receives a cost posting that adds to the cost balance it carries (such as FI postings or goods issues from MM), SAP considers the transaction to be a debit posting to the order. When a transaction reduces the costs on an order (such as settlement to receivers either internal or external to CO), SAP considers the transaction to be a credit posting to the order.In the Rapid Mart, Internal Orders are derived from the object number (SAP Field COEP.OBJNR) assignment on Cost Transactions. When object number starts with “OR”, positions 3 - 14 of the object number are the Internal Order Number.

Project ElementsYou structure your project using Project Elements. They are also called WBS (Work Breakdown Structure). They are a hierarchical outline of an undertaking described in the project definition.Project Elements form the basis for the organization and coordination of a project. They organize project tasks into a hierarchy.The Project Elements describe specific tasks or actions in the project to be carried out within a specific time period.They are the functional basis for planning steps in a project, including: process planning, cost planning, scheduling, capacity planning or costing, as well as project control. They give you a clear picture of the project and facilitate the coordination and implementation of the project. They allow you to effectively manage a project. In SAP, individual Project Elements are assigned to the Cost Transactions. Actual Projects are not.



In the Rapid Mart, Project elements are derived from the object number (SAP Field COEP.OBJNR) assignment on Cost Transactions. When object number starts with “PR”, positions 3 - 10 of the object number are the project element. When object number starts with “OR” and partner object (SAP Field COEP.PAROB1) starts with “PR”, positions 3 - 10 of the partner object are the project element.

ActivitiesYou can use the Activities to provide a business process oriented, cross-functional view of overhead costs in addition to the traditional, location-oriented view provided by Cost Center Accounting. Activities thus enhance the Cost Center Accounting.An Activity allocates process quantities based on resource and process drivers, allowing you to define cost allocation more exactly along the Value Added Chain that is possible with overhead rates. Likewise, an Activity enhances product costing by assigning the sources of costs to their originating business processes. Cost center resources can allocate to business processes based on their true utilization of activities.In contrast to traditional overhead cost accounting, Activities give a fairer assignment of the overhead costs to products, customers, distribution channels, and other objects. In the Rapid Mart, Activities are derived from the object number (SAP Field COEP.OBJNR) assignment on Cost Transactions. When object number starts with “KL”, positions 17 - 22 of the object number are the Activity ID. When object number starts with “KS” and partner object (SAP Field COEP.PAROB1) starts with “KL”, positions 17 - 22 of the partner object are the Activity ID.


Financial Organization Structure
The Financial Organization Structure from SAP that is covered by the Rapid Mart is shown in the diagram below:

Functional Areas are another optional organization related classification of cost accounting transactions. You can freely define these to categorize the accounting transactions in addition to other organizational elements.Some examples of Functional Areas are:

• Sales & Marketing• Administration• Manufacturing• Direct Production Costs• Research & Development

Functional Areas can be associated with:• G/L accounts• Cost Elements• Cost Centers • Activities

Cost ElementsSAP’s cost element module classifies a transaction according to the nature of the cost being posted to a given cost object (such as cost center or internal order). Each cost element maps back to a general ledger account specified in SAP’s financial accounting (FI) module.

Key:Arrows indicate a “one to many” relationship:

Example:One Controlling Area canhave many Company Codes



There are two types of cost elements:• Primary — Directly incurred costs. Primary cost elements are those

relevant to cost accounting in the SAP CO. A general ledger expense account in the FI module must contain the cost element before it can be created in the CO.

• Secondary — Costs previously incurred and posted that are being reassigned to another cost object. Secondary cost elements are used exclusively for certain types of internal CO transactions. These transactions have no corresponding general ledger accounts or other definition in FI.

When SAP posts an FI transaction that uses an expense account with a primary cost element, it checks that there is a valid CO object assignment—such as to a cost center or an internal order—for that line item. SAP does not post an expense in FI unless the expense is passed as a cost to CO at the same time.Because Cost Elements are a subset of GL Accounts, the Rapid Mart stores the Cost Element ID’s as both GL Account ID’s and Cost Element ID’s. The values are identical in both fields for any given row of data. Both fields serve as foreign keys to two different dimensions: Cost Center and GL Account. The Cost Center dimension contains SAP Controlling module data. The GL Account dimension contains SAP General Ledger module data.

ProjectsIn SAP cost transactions can optionally be assigned to a project. A project is a complex structure of tasks within a controlling area. It is used to control and monitor the schedule, resources, capacities, cost, revenues, and funds availability.Projects are generally part of the internal processes of a company. To be able to control all tasks in project execution, you need an organizational form that is specific to the project and which is shared by all departments involved. Before you can carry out a project in its entirety, the project goals must be precisely described and the project activities to be carried out must be structured. A clear, unambiguous project structure is the basis for successful project planning, monitoring, and control.A project is not directly assigned to a cost transaction in SAP. Only a Project Element is assigned directly. The Rapid Mart uses the Project Element to look up the Project ID as a Project Element can be associated with only one Project.


Profit Centers
This section describes Profit Centers as an organizational component, not as a type of Controlling transaction. For information on Profit Centers as a transaction see “Profit Center Transactions Section” on page 43Profit Centers are an organizational unit in Accounting that reflect a management-oriented structure of the organization for the purpose of internal control. Operating results for profit centers can be analyzed using either the cost-of-sales approach or the period accounting approach.A profit center represents an organizational subunit that operates independently on the market and bears responsibility for its own costs and revenues. You organize your organization into profit centers by assigning the master data of each profit-relevant objects (materials, cost centers, orders, projects, sales orders, assets, cost objects, and profitability segments) to a profit centerBy analyzing the fixed capital as well, you can expand your profit centers for use as investment centers. In the Rapid Mart, Profit Center are only associated with the profit center transactions.

VendorsBusiness partner to whom amounts are payable for goods delivered/ services performed. Examples of such services/goods include:

• Goods acquired • Business services received • The transfer of a right

In the Rapid Mart, Vendors are derived on Cost Transactions associated with Purchase Orders. When the reference order type on the cost transaction (SAP field COEP.RBEST) is “20” then the cost transaction is associated to a purchase order, and the purchase order number is stored in the cost transaction (SAP field COEP.EBELN). We use this purchase order number to lookup the Vendor ID on table LIFNR in SAP. Additionally, if the Value Type is “04” (Actuals) on a cost transaction (SAP field COEP.WRTTP = '04'), and the Controlling transaction is a through-posting from FI (SAP field COBK.VRGNG = 'COIN'), we get the Vendor ID from the associated Accounting Document (SAP table BSEG).



Accounting HierarchiesThe Cost Center Rapid Mart has 6 hierarchy dimensions that report cost and profit breakdowns in the same manner as SAP. These hierarchies are organized in both horizontal and vertical format. They are:

• Activity• Cost Center• Cost Element• Project Element• Internal Orders • Profit Center

A hierarchy is an ordered series of related objects. An example of a hierarchy is time, or “date”, which may group objects as Year, Quarter, and Month. You can use drill up or down to perform multi dimensional analysis with a hierarchy. Horizontal hierarchies are organized so that all levels (or nodes) appear as columns on a single row of data. Vertical hierarchies represent each level or node with an individual row of data. For more details refer to chapter 5 (Universe) section on “Hierarchies” on page 124.


Rapid Mart Subject AreasCost Transaction Section3
Cost Transaction Section
The Cost Transaction Section extracts SAP data that allows cost transactions to be monitored and classified. Cost transaction data can be used to track costs that have been incurred (such as labor, postage or telephone costs), and to pinpoint where costs occur within a company. Cost transaction data can also be used to track costs associated with a particular accounting entity, such as a building project or a marketing event. Cost transaction data allows viewing details of individual accounting transactions such as transaction number, posting date, material, vendor, transaction amount and quantity.

Rapid Mart ProcessingExtracted cost transaction data is stored in the CO_TRANS_FACT table. The cost transaction section also captures the following dimensional attributes, and their associated dimension tables:

cost center?• What were the company’s total costs for trade shows this year?• Who are out top 10 vendors (amount spent) this year?• What is the cost breakdown by Product Hierarchy for this month?• Which Projects and Project Elements are costliest?• Which projects are over budget? • What is the breakdown of project over-runs by project element? • Which Activities have the highest expenses?• Are production orders (a type of internal orders) completed within

budgeted costs?• Which vendors can supply this material at the lowest cost?


Rapid Mart Subject AreasCost Summary Section 3

Cost Summary SectionThe cost summary section stores cost period totals (balances) by fiscal period and year.This is the main data source for financial reporting to view the company cost trends and to perform multi-dimensional analysis. It is also used for various financial ratios calculation when average or total of 12 rolling periods is involved.Cost summary data is organized both horizontally and vertically. Table CO_SUMMARY_FACT_HR stores the horizontal representation. Table CO_SUMMARY_FACT stores the vertical representation.

Rapid Mart DataThe CO_SUMMARY_FACT_HR table has one row summarizing cost information for each cost object for each fiscal year, with columns for quantity and value totals for all fiscal periods in each row. There can be upto 16 fiscal periods in the SAP system: 12 regular periods and 4 special posting periods used for adjustments.CO_SUMMARY_FACT, has the same information, but with one row for each fiscal period, resulting in upto 16 times as many rows in the table.The organization of the SAP source tables (COSS and COSP) follows the horizontal format. Therefore, CO_SUMMARY_FACT_HR is analogous to SAP. The Data Integrator uses the Pivot transform to create the vertical format for CO_SUMMARY_FACT.



Both the CO_SUMMARY_FACT and CO_SUMMARY_FACT_HR tables contain a Transaction Type Flag. The flag is set to “I” for Internal or “E” External. Data from SAP table COSS is flagged with “I” for Internal. Data from SAP table COSP is flagged with “E” for External.



The following diagram shows the tables in the cost summary section:



You can analyze summary costs along several dimensions: • By Activity and Activity Hierarchies• By Cost Center and Cost Center Hierarchies• By Cost Element (GL Account) and Cost Element Hierarchies• By Fiscal Periods (Fiscal Year, Quarter, Month)• By Internal Orders and Internal Order Hierarchies• By Monetary Currencies• By Object Type• By Object Class• By Financial Organization:

• Business Area• Company Code• Controlling Area

• By Project Element and Project Element Hierarchies• By Project• By Business Transaction Type• By Controlling Version• By Value Type• By Unit of MeasureUsing the cost summary section, you can answer questions like: • “For which cost items is the company overall in variance?”• “How much was spent on labor (or telephone, or insurance) last year,

versus how much was planned?”• “Which cost centers are in variance for specific cost elements and which

activity types were involved?”• “What are the planned versus actual costs for a specific cost center or

group of cost centers?”• “What was the variance in planned versus actual costs for trade shows by

cost element?”• “Which activities were responsible for the variance?”• What is the variance between actual and planned (budget) amounts by

cost center hierarchy for this year?• Have I been able to reduce costs (by cost element hierarchy) this year

compared to last?• What are my cost trends for any rolling 12 month period?


Rapid Mart Subject AreasProfit Center Transactions Section 3

Profit Center Transactions SectionThe profit center transactions section stores cost and revenue transactions by profit center. It is organized a bit differently in SAP and also in the Rapid Mart.SAP divides the profit center data into Actuals and Planned (Budgeted) costs. These are stored in separate tables in SAP. The Data Integrator assigns an Actual or Budget Flag to each row of profit center data. Values are “A” for Actuals data, and “P” for Budget (or Planned) data.Sign Handling in Profit Center Transactions:For actual data as well as for planned (budget) data, SAP generally stores all measure values as positive. Negative values generally only occur for business transactions (such as reversals, credit memos or returns) that revise the business transaction results when claims are processed or errors are corrected.This applies to all revenues, sales deductions, and cost of goods manufactured, as well as to the different period costs, that flow into profit center transactions during Order Settlement or Periodic Overhead Allocation.

Rapid Mart DataThe PROFIT_CENTER_FACT table merges data from both GLPCA and GLPCP tables. The structure in these tables is identical in SAP. You can determine the source of the data with the Actual or Budget Flag described earlier. The following diagram shows the tables in the profit center transactions section:

Profit Center Accounting (EC-PCA) lets you determine profits and losses by profit center using either period accounting or the cost-of-sales approach. It also lets you analyze fixed capital and so-called “statistical key figures” (number of employees, square meters, and so on) by profit center. Consequently, you can calculate all the key figures commonly used in cost accounting (return on investment, cash flow, sales per employee, and so on). A profit center is a management-oriented organizational unit used for internal controlling purposes. Dividing your company up into profit centers allows you to analyze areas of responsibility and to delegate responsibility to decentralized units, thus treating them as “companies within the company”.You can analyze profit center transactions along several dimensions: • By Cost Element (GL Account) and Cost Element Hierarchies

ReportsHierarchy Data Discovery4

Hierarchy Data DiscoveryHorizontal and Vertical Hierarchy information is available in the Universe for all relevant common dimensions. You can use horizontal hierarchies to view information about all hierarchy levels. Whereas, the vertical hierarchy data is used to restrict to only a subset of the hierarchy based on a selected parent node.For more details on horizontal and vertical hierarchies, see “Hierarchies” on page 124.

ReportsThe reports listed in this chapter allow users to browse hierarchical master data. It can be helpful to understand data relationship to produce reports where a subset of hierarchical data needs to be analyzed. Each report displays the horizontal hierarchy data for a prompted parent hierarchy value. A data discovery report is included for each of the following hierarchies:• Activity Hierarchy Data Discovery • Cost Center Hierarchy Data Discovery • Profit Center Hierarchy Data Discovery• Cost Element Hierarchy Data Discovery• Internal Order Hierarchy Data Discovery• Project Element Hierarchy Data Discovery
