SAP Note 180047 - Cost Distribution to Time Axis and in PMIS/SMIS

Component : Controlling (budgeting, order costs) - Service Execution

Summary :
In SAP environments, when spanning maintenance or service order operations over multiple months or posting periods, planned costs are allocated along the time axis based on the planned resource scheduling. These costs are then updated in the Information System under the appropriate month determined by the fiscal year variant, not necessarily reflecting the actual periods of cost incurrence. This can lead to discrepancies in cost records across PMCO, PMIS, and related information structures such as S061, S062, S065, and S115. A detailed example in the note illustrates the nuances of cost distribution and updating processes in the Plant Maintenance Information System. Issues may arise when fiscal year variants do not align with calendar months, affecting how costs are reported and reconciled in financial and operational reporting.
