SAP Controlling (SAP CO)

M
Montag Team

The Controlling module contains all the functions required for the cost and revenue calculations that help businesses in their decision-making processes. By separating functions into cost and profit centres, it produces the analyses and reports that optimise processes, delivering the advantage of effective planning and control.

SAP Controlling covers the following processes:

Cost and Revenue Element Accounting (CO-CEL): By tracking and analysing the costs and revenues arising in the business, decisions on cost items, production and production factors can be taken effectively. As the necessary data flows automatically from the Financial Accounting module (FI), changes in costs are updated continuously.

Overhead Cost Controlling (CO-OM): Covers the tracking, planning, detailed analysis and control of the costs arising from business activities. It is important for the data required for accurate product costing and profitability analysis.

Cost Centre Accounting (CO-OM-CCA): Used to divide the business into cost centres and to control costs by determining where they arise.

Internal Orders (CO-OM-OPA): Covers the tracking, planning and analysis of costs arising from internal order types such as production, maintenance and repair, investment, marketing and research and development.

Activity-Based Costing (CO-OM-ABC): Costs are evaluated from a more strategic perspective so that the costs incurred support the business's objectives.

Profitability Analysis and Profit Centre Accounting (CO-PA / EC-PCA): The costs and revenues generated by units divided into independent areas are analysed, compared across periods, and the effects of simulations on profitability are tracked.

Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC): Calculates the costs arising in the production process of a product, forming the basis for correct pricing and production quantity decisions.
