Usage of Cost Accounting (CAT) in Controlling

You can use the CAT functionality to control costs for single dimension-based budgets. Cost Accounting process is also used to define performance, allocation relations and perform cost allocation for budgeted and actual costs.

The cost accounting results are used in the calculation processes in Cost Price Calculation (CPR) and Project Control System (PCS) .

The CAT functionality includes these two functional procedures:

Single dimension controlling
Activity-based management

You can define allocation relations and perform price iteration to calculate at correct allocated costs (secondary costs) for dimensions/reference units of budget and actual data.

You can also perform a variance analysis with different reports and a hierarchical analysis in Hyperion OLAP after export. You can also import the rates/surcharges into CPR/PCS.
