• Key Concepts: 
  Dependency type is a feature of SAP Cost Center Accounting (CO-OM-CCA) that allows users to define relationships between cost centers. This feature enables users to create a hierarchical structure of cost centers, which can be used to analyze and report on cost center data. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the dependency type feature, users must first define the relationships between cost centers. This can be done by creating a hierarchical structure of cost centers, with each cost center having one or more parent cost centers. Once the structure is defined, users can then assign a dependency type to each relationship. The available dependency types are “parent-child”, “sibling”, and “peer”. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a hierarchical structure of cost centers, it is important to consider how the data will be used. For example, if the data will be used for reporting purposes, it may be beneficial to create a structure that is easy to navigate and understand. Additionally, it is important to consider how the dependency types will affect the data analysis and reporting.
