Activity based costing

I am wondering how we can obtain activity based costing in SAP? We are a manufacturing company and I want to be able to capture the following activities during confirmation of our batch sheets. I would sap to total the actives up to gather the cost.

I have attached the sheet that we were using and now I would like SAP to be able to capture this info.

Please offer any info that you have, Thank you

Hi Brian,

SAP ERP CO-PCP & CO-PA modules could capture activity information and use it in allocations (Using Cost Center -> Work Center -> Activity Types). It requires some process steps in different SAP modules... MM, PP, CO, PA, PC,...

It's functionality is good and might be sufficient for your use case, but doing ABC in a transactional system like ERP doesn't allow you to easily run planning & forecasting scenarios on profitability.

This space on SCN is about "SAP PCM", a tool that is a dedicated to advanced Activity based Costing, but is indeed a different system than SAP ERP. It can be integrated using SAP BW or FIM.

Hope this helps.
