Purpose
Use this report to:

• View charges incurred on a cost center (or group of cost centers).


• Facilitate cost planning in case of future expansions and to arrive at
average cost incurred per employee per cost center.

• Reconcile the FI postings with the payroll results. A Payroll
Administrator can run the report on a periodic basis (especially duringthe year-end) to balance the FI postings with the Audit report (Canada)or the Reconciliation report (U.S.).

• Investigate the payroll data of an employee, to determine a cause of
imbalance in payments. This investigation can be initiated by a costcenter manager who finds a discrepancy in the regular payments made toemployees or a specific employee.

The following configuration is necessary for the Cost Center Managers:


• Master data: Infotype 105 (Communications), Subtype 0001 (System User
Name) has to be set up so that cost center managers can accessinformation for their cost centers.

• A new wage type application group must be created for cost center
managers. This is important, as the cost center managers should not beable to view certain wage components of the employees (for example,Garnishments). For more information, see the IMG documentationreferenced below:
