Manage Cost Rollup Groups

A cost rollup group encompasses multiple combinations of cost organization and cost book enabling you to roll up the costs of your products across organizations using a cost scenario.

You need to define a cost rollup group with the cost organization and cost book combinations for which you want to roll up the costs. A cost organization can be used only once in a rollup group. That's to say you can't have a cost organization with two different cost books added to the cost rollup group. Also, you can only add cost organizations that you have access to.

You can create multiple cost rollup groups based on your business needs. A cost rollup group can be used across multiple cost scenarios. After you add a cost rollup group to a cost scenario you can't delete it.

To create a cost rollup group, perform these steps:

1. In the Cost Accounting work area, click the Manage Cost Rollup Groups task.
2. Click Create on the Cost Rollup Groups page.
3. Enter a name and description for the rollup group and then click Add.
4. Select the required cost organization and cost book.

   Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each cost organization and cost book combination that you want to add to the cost rollup group.

5. Click Create.

You can also use the REST APIs to create the cost rollup groups with cost organization and cost book combinations.

After you create a cost rollup group you edit or delete it. However, you can't delete a cost rollup group after it's used to create a cost scenario. You can delete such a rollup group only after it's disassociated from the cost scenario.

To edit a cost rollup group, click the edit icon corresponding to the group in the Actions column on the Cost Rollup Groups page. You can add or remove cost organization and cost book combinations when editing a cost rollup group. A cost rollup group must contain at least one cost organization and cost book combination.
