• Key Concepts: 
  Indirect activity allocation is a feature of SAP Controlling (CO) that allows for the allocation of costs and revenues to cost objects based on the activities that are performed. This is done by assigning a cost or revenue to an activity, which is then allocated to the cost object based on the amount of activity performed. This allows for more accurate cost and revenue allocations than traditional methods. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use indirect activity allocation in SAP Controlling, you must first define the activities that will be used for the allocation. This includes assigning a cost or revenue to each activity and setting up the rules for how the activities will be allocated to the cost objects. Once this is done, you can then use the indirect activity allocation feature to allocate costs and revenues to the cost objects based on the activities performed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up indirect activity allocation in SAP Controlling, it is important to ensure that all activities are properly defined and that the rules for allocation are set up correctly. This will ensure that costs and revenues are accurately allocated to the cost objects. Additionally, it is important to review the allocations periodically to ensure that they are still accurate.
