Universal Allocation – The Next Generation of Cost Allocations
Sebastian Doll - Product Management - SAP SE

A well-organized accounting system can provide valuable insights into cost trends, product pricing, and business performance. While most companies have clear rules to allocate direct cost based on direct connections to products, allocating overhead or indirect costs is more difficult. Organizations often struggle to understand allocation processes that have grown increasingly complex over the years and have long cycle runtimes. Frequently, experts have to be involved to answer seemingly simple allocation questions like “Why I am accountable for these costs?” or “How are the costs allocated to my area?” 
With the brand-new innovation “Universal Allocation”, SAP is conquering the complexity and simplifying cost allocations by combining various capabilities in a unified approach. Companies will benefit from a common, harmonized architecture for FI and CO allocations, as well visualization capabilities that provide a new level of flexibility and transparency. 

Please not that Universal Allocation is an ongoing innovation in which SAP invests over the years. So not all features are covered yet. But I can give time an overview of the status quo, an outlook and some implementation guidance for their projects.

Pearl i samarbeid med Cross Application Consulting har gjort Greenfield migreringer til SAP S/4Hana for et par av sine kunder. Utgangspunkt har bl.a. vært "fit to standard" og out-of-the box beste praksis. Vi får høre om design og oppsett  i SAP og erfaringer fra disse prosjektene, bla. At det er mulig å kjøre SAP bare med bruk av Fiori.

Ulrich Hauke, Product Management - SAP SE

As soon as there are liabilities to a third party, for example to a supplier, but the related costs have not yet been posted, accruals need to be posted. By posting accruals in the system, the relevant costs are allocated to the fiscal period in which they occurred. With the new application component ‘Purchase Order Accruals’, it is possible to automatically calculate and post purchase order accruals. This new application component is based on the new S/4HANA Accrual Engine which offers flexible configuration options for calculation and posting of the accruals. An optional review process for the monthly accrual amounts can be activated in the Configuration. Various screens are available for monitoring, review and approval of accruals. 

Value Proposition: 

• Faster Closing through improved closing efficiency
• Governance and Compliance
• Transparency and Insight

Capabilities:

• Automated transfer of initially existing and new purchase orders into accrual engine
• Monitoring, review, adjustment and approval of monthly accrual amounts
• Automated posting of accrual amounts
