Enter Posting Cost Groups

Explanation

All Posting Cost Groups are user defined. They are used for grouping cost buckets according to the level at which postings (of cost details) should be created on transactions. You can use the Mandatory to Use Postings Cost Groups check box on the Cost Details Basic Data window header, to make it compulsory for cost buckets to be connected to posting cost groups.

Prerequisites

• The company must have been entered in the system.
• If you want to select the Mandatory to Use Posting Cost Groups check box, all existing cost buckets in the system (that are connected to a site in your company) must be connected to posting cost groups.

System Effects

Posting cost groups will be available for connecting to cost buckets.

If you had selected the Mandatory to Use Posting Cost Groups check box:

• It will not be possible to create any new cost buckets without connecting the cost bucket to posting cost groups.
• It will not be possible to disconnect the posting cost groups from existing buckets.
