• Key Concepts: 
  Subsequent allocation is a process in SAP Cost Center Accounting (CO-OM-CCA) that allows for the transfer of costs from one cost center to another. This process is used to allocate costs that have already been incurred, such as overhead costs, to other cost centers. The subsequent allocation process can be used to allocate costs based on a variety of criteria, such as quantity, value, or time. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use the subsequent allocation process in SAP Cost Center Accounting, you must first create a subsequent allocation cycle. This cycle will define the criteria for the allocation of costs and will also specify the cost centers that will be involved in the allocation. Once the cycle has been created, you can then enter the costs that need to be allocated and specify which cost centers they should be allocated to. Finally, you can run the subsequent allocation cycle to transfer the costs from one cost center to another. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a subsequent allocation cycle, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary criteria are specified correctly. This will ensure that the costs are allocated accurately and efficiently. Additionally, it is important to review the results of the subsequent allocation cycle before finalizing it, as this will allow you to make any necessary adjustments before the costs are transferred.
