This document provides a step-by-step guide on configuring and executing Distribution and Assessment cycles within SAP Controlling (CO).
Both Distribution and Assessment Cycles are methods used in SAP ERP to allocate costs from one sender object (typically a cost center) to one or more receiver objects (also usually cost centers). They are part of a broader “Allocation” process within SAP’s Controlling (CO) module, which aids in the periodic allocation of costs. The underlying goal of both cycles is to transfer costs to where they are incurred, reflecting operational activities. The cycles utilize allocation rules for the cost transfers.
