  Fixed cost is a type of cost that does not change with the amount of goods or services produced. It is a cost that remains constant regardless of the level of production or sales. In SAP Controlling (CO), fixed costs are used to plan and monitor the costs associated with a particular activity or process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP Controlling, fixed costs are used to plan and monitor the costs associated with a particular activity or process. Fixed costs can be divided into two categories: direct and indirect. Direct fixed costs are those that are directly related to the production process, such as raw materials, labor, and overhead. Indirect fixed costs are those that are not directly related to the production process, such as rent, insurance, and taxes.
