Performing a Cost Object Summarization

You can save cost object data permanently in summarization objects. The data in the summarization objects does not change. This means that current data must be added and summarized by a new run on a regular basis.

To execute a summarization, you need a predefined summarization technique (that is, the summarization hierarchy).

You use classification characteristics or master data to perform summarization.

Hierarchy Graphics

The following reports use hierarchy graphics in Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC):

• Summarized Analysis
• Costed Multilevel BOM
• Cost components
• Sales Orders with Assigned Orders
• Analyze Sales Orders

• Save cost object data permanently in summarization objects.
• Summarization objects require regular updates with current data.
• Use predefined summarization techniques, like summarization hierarchy.
• Classification characteristics or master data are used for summarization.
• Hierarchy graphics are used in Product Cost Controlling reports.
