4.1 Cost Center Assessment Basics
-
Purpose: Allocate secondary costs (e.g., IT, HR) to other cost objects.
-
Key concepts: Assessment cycles, sender/receiver relationships.
-
-
4.2 Running KSU5
-
Configuring assessment cycles (if applicable for end-users).

Executing KSU5: Test runs, final execution, results analysis.
-
-
4.3 Use Cases and Examples
- Allocating facility management costs to production cost centers.
5. Transaction CKMLCP: Material Ledger Period-End Closing
-
5.1 Material Ledger Fundamentals
- Actual costing, price determination, revaluation.
-
5.2 CKMLCP Workflow
-
Steps: Single/multi-level price determination, actual cost calculation, closing entries.
-
Integration with CO-PC and inventory valuation.
-
-
5.3 Common Errors and Fixes
