COST CENTER ACCOUNTING (CCA)
Issue No.: 53
The canteen cost center costs (for example, Rs. 10,000) were to be allocated to other receiving cost centers with "No. of Employees" as the statistical key figure. The canteen cost center also has some employees, so it is becoming both the sender and the receiver for itself. The problem is that when trying to allocate the costs through the distribution method, the system is first allocating some portion of the costs (for example, Rs. 500) back to the canteen cost center and then reallocating the costs to the other cost centers, so that in the end, the debit and the credit balances for the canteen cost center is showing Rs. 10,500 (10,000 + 500). When trying the assessment method, however, the system is sending the portion of the canteen cost center costs back (Rs. 500), it is not reallocating them to the other cost center, and the debit side is showing Rs. 10,500 while the credit side is only showing Rs. 10,000.

When defining assessment, be sure to check the check box for iterative. This will repeatedly allocate the costs to other cost centers until the balance becomes zero.
