  Cost accounting expanded in Version 2004  
     
  As many other functional areas of the abas Business Software, cost accounting in Version 2004 can also provide some highlights, e.g. the automatic debiting of the direct cost centers and crediting of the cost object.

The overhead costs are posted to the cost object following the Internal Account Activity Allocation (IAAA). After the individual costs, as well as the overhead costs, were posted to the cost objects, all indirect cost centers and direct cost centers were completely credited. The costs are now on the cost objects and can, therefore, be compared to the performance in terms of a profit and loss calculation. The transfer posting of the overhead costs from the direct cost centers to the cost objects can be carried out according to various versions and enable posting all costs to the cost objects.

Possible versions are:
- Version 1: No transfer posting
- Version 2: Transfer postings only by using the overhead rates calculated by the IAAA
- Version 3: Transfer posting takes place on the basis of the individual overhead surcharge or on the basis of the calculated overhead surcharge
- Version 4: Transfer posting can take place using cost object assessments and overhead surcharges (individual or calculated). For each direct cost center a selection can be made on how the transfer posting is to take place, direct cost centers can be excluded from the transfer posting if wanted.
