Solution scenarios with Cost Accounting 365
Multi-level contribution margin accounting
Which cost units are profitable and with which products do I earn money? For the post-calculation of the products, is an exact post-calculation and a contribution margin calculation from DB 1 to DB4 required?
Internal cost allocation
Profit-centre-based income statements are standard in modern controlling. Distribute overheads and offset services beyond cost centres and cost units. Create your allocations and divide them into fixed and variable costs in production.
Up to 8 dimensions
Are the cost centre and cost unit within cost accounting not enough for you? Then create a contribution margin calculation per product, project, order or customer! Define additional dimensions flexibly and evaluate them separately.

All features in detail
Cost Centre Accounting
The division into variable and fixed components of the costs is one of the most important functions of the app, in addition to the flexible allocation options. You can store percentage values or fixed amounts for cost types, based on which the cost analyses are carried out. Cost Centre Accounting enables you to determine the overhead rates for the formation of results and allows assessment processing and allocation rate formation right through to the OAS (operational accounting sheet).
The advantages of Cost Centre Accounting at a glance
- You decide: individual setup, or have the app generate an automatic cost plan from your ledger accounts?
- continuously separate variable and fixed cost components.

- Define standard allocation keys in an individually appropriate way (for example, by reference cost type, service, ratio of budget values, step-ladder process with allocation,

It is completely integrated through billing processes, which makes the formulation and realisation of contribution margin levels, including a fixed cost coverage basis, possible. Have the app determine what costs are incurred for services or products and distinguish between individual product units or quantities produced and sold within an accounting period. Flexible cost account schemata allow multi-level contribution margin calculations and analyses.
