Basics of Standard Costing - Understanding the Cost Component Structure-Part 3

This document is in continuation of my second document Basics of SAP Standard Cost estimate- understanding costing variant-Part 2 and 3rd in the series

This document explains the Cost Component Structure (CCS) and components assigned to CCS.  Explaining various settings in background as previous part.

Cost Component Structure (CCS)
The cost component structure determines how the results of material costing are updated. The cost component structure groups the costs for each material according to cost component (such as material costs, internal activities, external activities, and overhead). If the material is used in the production of another material, the cost component split (which breaks down the costs according to material costs, internal activities, external activities, overhead, and so forth) remains in the system when the costs are rolled up.
