• Key Concepts: 
  Inverse activity allocation is a feature of SAP Controlling (CO) that allows for the allocation of costs to cost objects in a reverse manner. This means that instead of allocating costs from a cost object to an activity, inverse activity allocation allocates costs from an activity to a cost object. This is useful when the cost object is known, but the activity is not. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Inverse activity allocation can be used in SAP Controlling by setting up an inverse activity type in the Controlling area. This type will then be used to allocate costs from activities to cost objects. The cost objects can be set up in the Controlling area as well, and the costs can be allocated using the inverse activity type. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up an inverse activity type, it is important to ensure that the cost objects are set up correctly. This will ensure that the costs are allocated correctly and accurately. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the activities are set up correctly as well, as this will ensure that the costs are allocated correctly and accurately.
