RIS/2 Cost Accounting

Within RIS/2 Cost Accounting the following dimensions may be used for cost analysis:

• Cost types
• Cost centers
• Cost objects
• Profit centers
• Plant/Sales office locations
• Business areas

Data are generated and transferred automatically from the RIS/2 Financial Accounting application if the booked accounts are set up as relevant for cost accounting. Also, RIS/2 Cost Accounting allows the transfer of bookings directly as batch transactions supplied by third-party systems. In this case the software is responsible to inhibit the automatic transfer of RIS/2 Cost Accounting bookings from the logically corresponding RIS/2 Financial Accounting bookings.

The main work processes are:

• Cost transfers
• Surcharges
• Internal performance cost transfers
• Distributions of cost
• Distributions of performance
• Comparison with financial accounting results
  

Flexible reporting through user-defined structures has been implemented in all the applications of RIS/2.

Up to three dimensions may be combined to provide in-depth data analysis. The data are prepared for analysis with standard graphical analysis tools. Customer-specific relations are implemented according to the needs.
