Hi verma...

I hope u know about ... Primary distribution and secondary distribution of the costs in Costing. Whatever at may be ... let me give some explaination...

Indirect costs i.e the overhead costs are not directly assigned/allorted to any cost center/product as a total. we have to distribute such cost to all the products or cost centers according to their respective/suitable basis.

For example, cost of electricity... only one electric meter will be their to entire plant. in this situation we have to distribute total electric charges to either departmental wise or cost center wise or product wise...etc., to distribute these costs we need one base for distribution... in practice lightpoints are taken as base for distribution of (internal distribution) of electricity charges.

This light points are called, in general, base for apportionment or base for allotment.. & in SAP langualge it is (light points, number of employees, number of units, labour hours, machine hours, etc..,,,,) scalled as tatisical key figures....

In some cases % method is also be used to distribute different costs to cost centers...

In some other cases period/time may slo be taken as base...

For more information, the follwoing link will be usefull to u ...
