  Key Concepts: 
  Cost object nodes are used in SAP Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC) to represent the cost structure of a product. They are used to define the cost structure of a product and to assign costs to the various components of the product. The cost object nodes are organized in a hierarchical structure, with each node representing a different level of the cost structure. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Cost object nodes can be used to assign costs to different components of a product. For example, if a product has multiple components, such as raw materials, labor, and overhead, each component can be assigned its own cost object node. This allows for more accurate cost tracking and reporting. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating cost object nodes, it is important to ensure that they are organized in a logical manner. This will make it easier to track and report on costs associated with each component of the product. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all cost object nodes are properly linked together so that costs can be accurately tracked and reported.
