SAP Exam C_TS410_2504 Topic 1 Question 7 Discussion

Activity Type Master Data: In SAP Controlling (CO), the activity type represents a classification of activities performed by a cost center. It is linked to cost elements for accounting purposes.

Cost Element Role:

Cost Allocation: The cost element associated with an activity type is used to allocate costs during activity allocation, acting as a bridge between the CO and FI modules.

Cost Tracking: This linkage ensures that costs incurred by performing activities can be tracked and allocated accurately to the receiving cost objects.

Setting Up Activity Types:

Define Activity Types: In the Controlling module, define activity types and associate them with relevant cost elements.

Perform Activity Allocation: Use the defined activity types for allocating costs in internal orders, cost centers, and other CO objects.
