Cost components break down the costs of a material across the entire production structure into material costs, production costs, material overhead, production overhead, and other costs. However, this breakdown has not been available in the General Ledger before SAP S/4HANA. By utilizing a Custom Enhancement, the Cost Component Split by G/L Account can be available in the ECC system as well. This will provide suitable transparency about cost drivers in the General Ledger, particularly for companies that do not plan an S/4 conversion for a few years, and also positions them with a Splitting Structure that is compatible for an eventual S/4 Conversion. This functionality can be used to split cost components for COGS accounts as well as Inventory accounts and Production Variances, among others. Also, this functionality can be used whether a company uses Material Ledger or not.

Q&A
Q: Why use IDOC for posting?
A: IDOC makes it easier to the track the issues in the document posting, because it provides standard checks already, so it will tell exactly why a document failed.
Q: What are the impacts for Sales order Stock?
A: Functionality also works with sales order stock, MTO. The only constraints is that information of the sales order will not show in the split document because it is a cost object.
Q: Does it work only with Released STD?
A: No, it also works without released standard, there is a setting in the customization that allows you to define which is the default cost component to post the split.
Q: How does it work with Intercompany scenarios?
A: The IDOC from company A to company B must have material and quantity, if this information is not present, the posting will show in the default cost component.
Q: Does it work with Account based copa?
A: Yes it does.
Q: What is the transaction code of the Split View Header?
