Define Credits
Cost allocation is part of the process of determining overhead rates. If this leads to an object being debited with actual costs, another object in Cost Accounting must be credited at the same time. This can be either a cost center, order or a business process. This type of posting is recorded under a secondary cost element of cost element category 41 (overhead rates) in the SAP System.
When you define credits, you also specify which credit object is to be credited under which cost element when overhead is to be applied to an object in the actual.
You can also define what percentage of the overhead is to be allocated as fixed costs.
