8/18/2019 Sap Co Question and Answer With Explanation

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sap-co-question-and-answer-with-explanation 21/33

Q1. Cost elements classify an organization’s valuated consumption of production factors within a

controlling

area. A cost element corresponds to a cost-relevant item in the chart of accounts.

Which of the following are types of cost elements?

(More than one answer is correct)

A. Primary cost elements

B. Revenue cost elements

C. Secondary cost elements

D. Personnel cost elements

Answer:

A, B, C

Cost elements in Controlling (CO) are closely related to the general ledger accounts used in Financial

Accounting (FI). This is because the SAP R/3 System is structured as an Integrated Accounting System:

Cost elements document which costs (differentiated by category) are incurred within a settlement

period, and

in which amount. They provide information concerning the value flow and the value consumption within

the

organization. Cost Element Accounting and Cost Center Accounting/Internal Orders are closely linked in

the

R/3 System. Each posting to an account that is also a cost element, is assigned either to a cost center or

order. This ensures that at period-end the data is subdivided by cost elements and cost centers/internal

orders

for analysis purposes.

Primary Cost/Revenue Elements

A primary cost or revenue element is a cost or revenue-relevant item in the chart of accounts, for which

a

corresponding general ledger (G/L) account exists in Financial Accounting (FI). You can only create the

cost or

revenue element if you have first defined it as a G/L account in the chart of accounts and created it as an

account in Financial Accounting. The R/3 System checks whether a corresponding account exists in

Financial

Accounting.

Examples of primary cost elements include:

• Material costs 

• Personnel costs 

• Energy costs 

Page 22: Sap Co Question and Answer With Explanation

8/18/2019 Sap Co Question and Answer With Explanation

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sap-co-question-and-answer-with-explanation 22/33

Secondary Cost Elements

Secondary cost elements can only be created and administrated in cost accounting (CO). They portray

internal

value flows, such as those found in internal activity allocation, overhead calculations and settlement

transactions.

When you create a secondary cost element, the R/3 System checks whether a corresponding account

already

exists in Financial Accounting. If one exists, you can not create the secondary cost element in cost

accounting.

Examples of secondary cost elements include:

• Assessment cost elements

• Cost elements for Internal Activity Allocation 

• Cost elements for Order Settlement 

There are no Personnel cost elements in CO

Q2. With reference to the controlling module (CO), which of the following statements are true?

(More than one answer is correct)

A. Controlling provides information for management decision-making

B. Controlling (CO) and Financial Accounting (FI) are independent components in the SAP system.

C. One of the main task of Controlling is planning.

D. Controlling can be implemented completely independently of FI

Answer:

A, B, C

Controlling provides you with information for management decision-making. It facilitates coordination,

monitoring and optimization of all processes in an organization. This involves recording both the

consumption

of production factors and the services provided by an organization.

As well as documenting actual events, the main task of controlling is planning. You can determine

variances by

comparing actual data with plan data. These variance calculations enable you to control business flows.

Income statements such as, contribution margin accounting, are used to control the cost efficiency of

individual

areas of an organization, as well as the entire organization.

Controlling (CO) and Financial Accounting (FI) are independent components in the SAP system. The data

flow

between the two components takes place on a regular basis.

Therefore, all data relevant to cost flows automatically to Controlling from Financial Accounting. At the

same

time, the system assigns the costs and revenues to different CO account assignment objects, such as

cost

centers, business processes, projects or orders. The relevant accounts in Financial Accounting are

managed

in Controlling as cost elements or revenue elements. This enables you to compare and reconcile the

values

from Controlling and Financial Accounting.

Although Controlling can be implemented independently of FI, there is some basic configuration that

needs to

be done in FI.

(Note: Watch out for the word ‘completely’ in the answer choice!) 

Q 3. Overhead Cost Controlling component enables you to plan, allocate, control, and monitor overhead

costs.

Which of the following fall under Overhead Cost Controlling?

(More than one answer is correct)

A. Cost Element Accounting

B. Cost Center Accounting

C. Internal Orders

D. Activity Based Costing

E. Plant based Costing

Answer:

A, B, C, D

The key areas of Overhead Cost Controlling are:

Page 24: Sap Co Question and Answer With Explanation

8/18/2019 Sap Co Question and Answer With Explanation

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sap-co-question-and-answer-with-explanation 24/33

Cost Element Accounting

Cost and Revenue Element Accounting details which costs and revenues have been incurred. Accrual is

calculated here for valuation differences and additional costs. Cost Accounting and Financial Accounting

are

also reconciled in Cost Element Accounting. This means that the tasks of Cost and Revenue Element

Accounting stretch beyond the bounds of Overhead Cost Controlling.

Cost Center Accounting

Cost Center Accounting determines where costs are incurred in the organization. To achieve this aim,

costs

are assigned to the subareas of the organization where they have the most influence.

By creating and assigning cost elements to cost centers, you not only make cost controlling possible, but

also

provide data for other application components in Controlling, such as Cost Object Controlling. You can

also

use a variety of allocation methods for allocating the collected costs of the given cost center/s to other

controlling objects.

Internal orders

Overhead Orders are internal orders used either to monitor overhead costs for a limited period, or

overhead

incurred by executing a job, or for the long-term monitoring of specific parts of the overhead.

Independently of

the cost center structure, internal orders collect the plan and actual costs incurred, enabling you to

control the

costs continuously. You can also use internal orders to control a cost center in more detail. You can

assign

budgets to jobs. These budgets are then monitored automatically by the SAP system to ensure that they

are

kept to.

Activity-Based Costing

In contrast to the responsibility and function-oriented basis of Cost Center Accounting, Activity-Based

Costing

provides a transaction-based and cross-functional approach for activity output in which several cost

centers

are involved. The emphasis is not on cost optimization in individual departments, but the entire

organization.

Q 4. You can use different currencies in the Controlling component (CO). Which of the following

currencies are

valid in Controlling?

(More than one answer is correct)

A. Controlling area currency

B. Object currency

C. Exchange rate Currency

Answer:

A, B

The following currencies are valid in Controlling:

• Controlling area currency 

The system uses this currency for cost accounting. This currency is set up when you create the

controlling area.

It is based on the assignment control indicator and the currency type.

• Object currency 

Each object in Controlling, such as cost center or internal order, may use a separate currency specified in

its

master data. When you create an object in CO, the SAP system defaults the currency of the company

code to

which the object is assigned as the object currency. You can specify a different object currency only if

the

controlling area currency is the same as the company code currency. There is an object currency for the

sender

as well as one for the receiver.

• Transaction currency 

Documents in Controlling are posted in the transaction currency. The transaction currency can differ

from the

controlling area currency and the object currency. The system automatically converts the values to the

Page 26: Sap Co Question and Answer With Explanation

8/18/2019 Sap Co Question and Answer With Explanation

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sap-co-question-and-answer-with-explanation 26/33

controlling area currency at the exchange rate specified.

The system always translates actual data with the average rate (exchange rate type M).

You store the exchange rate type for each currency. You can specify a different exchange rate type for

planning

data in the version.

All three currencies are saved in the totals records and the line items. This enables you to use the

different

currencies for evaluations in the information system. This is only possible if you specified that all

currencies

should be updated for the given controlling area.

Q 5. Controlling makes use of two different types of controlling objects, True Controlling Objects &

Statistical

Controlling Objects.

Which of the following are Statistical Controlling Objects?

(More than one answer is correct)

A. Cost Centers (for account assignment of revenues)

B. Profit Centers

C. Projects

D. Statistical internal Orders

Answer:

A, B, D

For postings in external accounting that use a cost element as the account, you need to use a special

account

assignment logic. This enables the system to ensure that data is reconcilable with all the relevant

application

components. These rules for the account assignment logic always apply for postings in internal

accounting

(Controlling).

Account assignment distinguishes between true and statistical Controlling objects.

Page 27: Sap Co Question and Answer With Explanation

8/18/2019 Sap Co Question and Answer With Explanation

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sap-co-question-and-answer-with-explanation 27/33

 

True Controlling Objects

• Cost centers (for account assignment of costs)

• Orders (true)

• Projects (true)

• Networks

• Make-to-order sales orders

• Cost objects

• Profitability segments

• Real Estate Objects

• Business Processes

You can use true Controlling objects as senders or receivers.

Statistical Controlling Objects

• Cost centers (for account assignment of revenues)

• Cost centers, if a true account assignment object already exists

• Statistical Internal Orders

• Statistical projects

• Profit centers

You can indicate internal orders and projects in each master record as statistical.

You can also specify Statistical Controlling objects as account assignment objects in addition to true

Controlling objects. You cannot allocate costs on statistical Controlling objects to other objects. Account

assignments are for information purposes only.

Q 6. While working with account assignments, you need to follow certain rules. Which of the following

rules

need to be followed?

(More than one answer is correct)

A. You need to specify a true Controlling object in each posting item.

B. In each posting item, you can specify up to four statistical Controlling Objects in addition to the true

Controlling Object.

C. The same Controlling Object can be specified as True and statistical in the same posting item.

D. You can make true revenue posting to a real estate object.

Answer:

Page 28: Sap Co Question and Answer With Explanation

8/18/2019 Sap Co Question and Answer With Explanation

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sap-co-question-and-answer-with-explanation 28/33

A, D

The following rules need to be observed for account assignments:

• You need to specify a true Controlling object in each posting item.

You cannot assign to a objects such as a statistical project without specifying a true Controlling object.

• In each posting item, you can specify up to three statistical Controlling objects in addition to the

true

Controlling object.

For example, you can post costs to a cost center and also to a statistical order and a statistical project.

• You cannot specify the same Controlling object as being true and statistical in the same posting

item.

You cannot post to an order and a statistical order in the same posting item.

• You can only make postings to profit centers in addition to true Controlling objects.

This means that costs and revenues are only posted statistically to profit centers. Profit centers are

derived

from true Controlling objects.

When you enter a profit center, it must match the profit center that is assigned from the Controlling

object.

• You need to create P&L accounts as a cost element if you wish to post to them and a Controlling

object.

• You can make true revenue postings to the following:

- A profitability segment

- A make-to-order sales order

- A project with revenues

- An order with revenues

- A real estate object

• You can only post revenues statistically to cost centers and profit centers.

If you specify a cost center or a profit center for a revenue posting, the system treats the object as a

statistical

Controlling object. This means that you must also specify a true Controlling object to which the revenues

are

posted.

The system can automatically derive such an object if account-based profitability analysis is not active.

The

system logs the posting under the object type reconciliation object. The reconciliation object is a

Page 29: Sap Co Question and Answer With Explanation

8/18/2019 Sap Co Question and Answer With Explanation

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sap-co-question-and-answer-with-explanation 29/33

summarized

profitability segment with the characteristics company code, business area, plant, and profit center.

The system also updates a reconciliation object by cost element for postings to a profitability segment

with

costing-based profitability analysis.

The system does not post to reconciliation objects if you specify an additional Controlling object on

which true

revenue postings can be made.

Q 7. The profit center assignment is also passed on from the sales order through the supply chain: sales

order

-> delivery note --> goods issue --> billing document. This means that the when a goods issue is posted,

the

corresponding revenue value for the goods is also passed on to the profit center of the sales order.

A. True

B. False

Answer:

A

It is necessary to assign SD sales orders to profit centers in order to reflect receivables, sales revenues,

and

sales deductions on profit centers.

The profit center assignment is also passed on from the sales order through the supply chain: sales order

->

delivery note-> goods issue-> billing document. This means that the when a goods issue is posted, the

corresponding revenue value for the goods is also passed on to the profit center of the sales order.

Sales orders are divided into header data and item data. Each order item is assigned separately to a

profit

center, since this is the finer level of detail.

The system proposes the profit center of the material in the supplying plant as the default profit center.

Consequently, you usually do not need to enter a profit center manually. This default supports both a

product

creates any necessary clearing lines to ensure that the characteristics produce a balance of zero in each

document.

• Active document splitting: Splitting a document

In this subfunction, the line items are split according to the settings in Customizing (the classification of

the

document and the splitting rule assigned to the document).

• Subsequent processes:

¡ Clearing, such as realized exchange rate differences

For example, you can also use the CO account assignments relating to the costs to post the realized

exchange

rate differences occurring in this subsequent process.

¡ Closing operations, such as foreign currency valuation

You can perform closing operations according to the document splitting characteristics defined.

Q 9. You are not able to create preliminary cost estimate for the product cost collector. What could be

the

reason?

Please choose the correct answer.

(Only one answer is correct)

A. You are using controlling level “production version” 

B. You are using controlling level “BOM/Routing” 

C. You are using controlling level “production Plant/planning plant” 

D. None of the above

Answer:

C

The production process has characteristics whose values are unique to that production process. We

specify

which characteristics are updated for the production process by means of the controlling level. There is

separate controlling level for each plant material and process category. The relevant process category in

cost

object controlling is production. When we create product cost collector, we decide on which level the

costs

should be collected on the product cost collector. We can choose from production version, any

8/18/2019 Sap Co Question and Answer With Explanation

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sap-co-question-and-answer-with-explanation 32/33

BOM/Routing

combination, material per plant.

When we choose the controlling level production version, the product cost collector is created for the

characteristics material, production plant, planning plant and production version and it is always used in

repetitive manufacturing.

When we choose the controlling level BOM/Routing, the product cost collector is created for the

characteristics

material, production plant, planning plant routing and BOM and it should only be used if the material

doesn’t any

production versions.

When we choose the controlling level production plant/planning plant, the product cost collector is

created for

the characteristics material, production plant and planning plant and it is not possible to create a

preliminary

cost estimate for a product cost collector.

Q 10.  There are several master data in CO-PA. This includes Characteristic derivation & valuation. You

have

been asked to explain the key points of valuation. What are they?

Note: There are more than one correct answers to this question.

A. Valuation strategies must be assigned to record types, point of valuation and plan versions when

applicable

to be activated

B. It is mandatory.

C. It supplements or overwrites certain automatically mapped values.

D. It can contain CO-PA costing sheets, sales order management pricing procedures, product cost calls,

and

user exit calls, in a sequence that can be customized.

Answer:

A, D

The key points of valuation are:

• Valuation supplements the data being passed directly from transactions into controlling

profitability

analysis with calculated, retrieved, or otherwise accessed values.

Page 33: Sap Co Question and Answer With Explanation

8/18/2019 Sap Co Question and Answer With Explanation

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sap-co-question-and-answer-with-explanation 33/33

• A Valuation strategy can contain CO-PA costing sheets, sales order management pricing

procedures (in

planning), product cost calls, and user exit calls, in a sequence that can be customized.

• Valuation strategy must be assigned to record types, points of valuation, and plan versions when

applicable to be activated.

• Using valuation is optional. It is merely a tool that can be used in an attempt to get the most

complete and

useful information out of CO-PA.
