Assign Cost Element to Cost Bucket

Explanation

Use this function to assign one or more cost elements to a selected cost bucket.
Note: It is not possible to connect trigger cost elements (141-Purchase Delivery OH Trigger, 501- Material OH trigger, 502- General OH Trigger, 601 Sales Overhead Trigger and 500-Total Cost) directly in to a cost bucket.

Only the cost elements with similar cost type can be added in to a cost bucket. So a specific cost bucket will contain only the cost elements belonging to specific cost type.

Prerequisites

• A cost bucket must have been defined.
• One or more cost elements must exist.

System Effects
