  • Cost Configuration (CTBA130 - SIGACTB)

The Management Accounting module uses its own nomenclature to treat cost management information. However, if the nomenclature is not in accordance with that already used by the company's accounting system, the Management Accounting module allows standard nomenclatures to be modified.



Procedures

To modify a cost configuration:

1. In the Accounting Configurations maintenance window, select Cost Configuration.

The system displays the screen to maintain cost configurations.

2. Select the record and click Edit.

The window Editing of Cost Levels is displayed.

3. Fill out data according to field help instructions.

4. Check and confirm the data.

Tip:

  • Accounting Levels

   The Management Accounting module has 4 levels for book values:

Level

Accounting Entity

1

Ledger Account

2

Cost Center

3

Accounting Item

4

Value Class

Only Level 2 through 4 nomenclatures can be modified. The nomenclature Ledger Account is standardized by the generally accepted accounting standard principles, that is why the Management Accounting module does not change it.  

  • Control Balance

All the fields that control the cost balances can be enabled/disabled within the Management Accounting module itself. For example, if the company only has cost centers, the other levels (accounting item and value class) can be disabled. From then, the user cannot use these fields. The field Controls Balance enables this control.

Important:

  • Technical Information

SIGACTB.INI is the file that stores these configurations in the system execution default directory (SYSTEM). In case of any problem with the nomenclatures, this file must be deleted. The system will create it again with the original configuration.
