PROPOSED

COST CENTER
SOLUTION

1
Old Cost Center Set Up

2
Old cost center coding structure
Tasnee HQ acts as the focal point of all Shared cost accumulation.
Hence Shared Cost Centers created under each company code serve the
following purpose
1. Accumulate Costs for Shared Services
2. Charge in the Costs of Shared Services to HQ
3. Receive Charge out from HQ

Cost center convention that is/has been followed is 10 digit Numbering system

Old cost center coding structure
In the Cristal Landscape, existing CC were recycled to capture costs incurred by
Cristal for SS & CF. However, due to tax reasons there was no charge in to
Tasnee.

CCs in Cristal also followed org structure of 2015, but for some at L2 level and
for some at L3 level.

Furthermore, in both landscapes, CCs were either Shared or Dedicated.

4
Existing Constraints

5
Recent Development
In recent months from discussions with Finance BPs and Function Heads few things
emerged.

Function Reporting at L2 or L3 level not sufficient

Need L4 level reporting at least

Single definition of Dedicated to SBU not sufficient

Need Dedication defined to Entity, BU & SBU level also.

CC position of many people across functions in both Tasnee & Cristal Landscape
incorrect.

To meet these requirements new CCs would have to be created.

New cost center set up- Basic Design
New cost center strategy will follow the following structure, having four groups
of cost center at broader level (where needed);
1. Dedicated to entity
2. Dedicated to BU
3. Dedicated to SBU
4. Fully shared cost

Minimum cost centers will be extended to legal entities on the basis of need. HQ will
have the full set of cost center where cost will be collected for all the four levels
mentioned above from all entities (Cristal, Tasnee and Non SAP companies).

Cost center groups will be created (for reporting purpose) with range functionality so that
it can be picked up within the range.

FBP Functions are responsible for the governance of cost centers and to approve any
modification in the cost center.

The model has been developed to accommodate all Tasnee new structure layer over
and above the legal entities where we kept the legal entities structure as is to avoid
disturbing any existing manufacturing or costing dependencies.

Internal allocation will harmonize the budget versus actuals.

Governance
Human Resource
Going forward
HR should be the custodian of cost center project.

Should be able to link any new employee or transfers among cost centers and
between functions with the detailed cc structure elaborated above.
Should appoint one or two employee as a focal point for the cost center
coordination and maintenance.

19
Existing Gaps

There are few Gaps as below;

1. Authorization to create shopping cart/PR for those cost centers for which they
are not the owner.
2. Cristal has been sold out. Any change in Cristal has to be minimum.
3. Legal issues with transfer of cost from one to another entity.

Explanation
1. Shared services/support function should have the flexibility to create the
shopping cart for those cost centers for which they are not the owner to cross
charge the related amount directly. For example Strategy function providing
services to a dedicated legal entity.

2. Minimal changes in Cristal.

3. We need to do more for the cost allocation and its justification when confronted
with legal authorities. SLAs should be detailed enough to satisfy the outside
stakeholders, when needed. e.g tax authorities.

20
NON SAP Companies

Following are the NON SAP companies existing in Tasnee/Cristal;

1. FAHS - Tasnee
2. Khadamat - Tasnee
3. TUV - Tasnee
4. Brazil - Cristal
5. China - Cristal

Non SAP companies should provide and transfer data through JV in the format as prescribed
in the budget format, at minimum following should be linked/mapped to their GL codes in the
trial balance as per following categories.
Additional cost centers will be created for them for the charge in and out in HQ.

Data to be transferred should have the clear visibility of shared versus dedicated
classification (Four categories).
Salaries and Benefits Insurance
Telephone and utilities Depreciation/amortization
Communication Outside Services cost
Supplies Others/Miscellaneous
Computer Hardware and software

On the Cristal Landscape

Initial plan was to replicate new CC structure in Cristal, however due to Tronex
deal, plan changed. Now

Limited number of CCs will be created to allow reporting down to L3 level

where required.
CC positioning of many employees will be corrected

L4 reporting will be done by distribution costs by

formula (TBD by Function Heads) &
Internal charging - for level of dedication, (TBD by Cristal)

23
Going Forward
Budget Control

Budget Control will be implemented in both Landscapes.

Implementing Budget Control will budgets to be split between Tasnee & Cristal
Budget Control will need to be tied up with MAS & PR Release Strategy.

Human Resource

HR will need to become the custodian of cost center project.

Should be able to link any new employee with the detailed cc elaborated above.
Should appoint one or two employee as a focal point for the cost center
coordination and maintenance.
