Summary :
This SAP Note clarifies entry procedures and the effects of defining exempt cost elements in Customizing (transaction OPTK) for availability control. Users should disregard the recovery indicator when entering exempt cost elements; it is mistakenly included and has no impact on the system. Ensure the controlling area is fully specified. For fields "Cost Element" and "Origin Group," both fully specified and generic entries with '*' are valid. Invalid method combinations are also detailed, highlighting unsupported and unprocessed formats for performance optimization. Also, previous erroneous documentation in the Implementation Guide (IMG) regarding the recovery indicator is rectified.

Key words :
define exempt cost elements, entering exempt cost elements, origin group remains empty, fully qualified origin group, exempt cost elements, empty origin group, fully qualified key, system selects records, enter valid entries, examples show valid
