| Calculation OfficesA calculation office is a work center that determines the enterprise unit for a PCS project or production order. The enterprise unit is
linked to a financial company,
which is financially responsible for a project or production order. Projects
and production orders are always linked to a calculation office, so that LN can book the costs and production results of the production order or project to the financial company. Note Work centers and warehouses can belong to enterprise units that are different from the calculation office's enterprise unit.
The financial transactions of the work centers and warehouses are posted to the
financial companies of their own enterprise units. Alternatively, intercompany trade relationships must be defined between the enterprise
units.

You can select one of the following options: Note If Standard Cost per Enterprise Unit parameter in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session is selected, using the Production Department option as the default for the calculation office is
mandatory. Calculation offices for PCS projects On a PCS project's calculation office, LN posts non-item project
costs, such as project surcharges, hours posted on activities, and general
project costs. Furthermore, the PCS project's calculation office is used to
aggregate the total costs and revenues of the project. Note You can select a regular work center, sales office or
warehouse as the calculation office for a PCS project. Default calculation office for PCS projects If you generate a PCS project on a sales order or service
order, a calculation office for the PCS project can be defaulted in three ways,

order, or production order for which the PCS project is created. You can use
the Default Project Data by Number Group (tipcs0103m000) session to define calculation
offices for combinations of number group and order series.
