Use Costing sheet to book the cost of Water, Electricity etc. to different Cost Elements.

1. T.code: OPL1, select the costing variant that has been mantained in the T. Code OPUV "CstgVariantPlan".

2. Go to the valuation variant in control tab of the costing variant.go to the overhead tab and click on the costing sheet.

3. Inside the costing sheet select the costing sheet and check the base for that costing row. Here you ca see that the cost element range or the Groups are mentioned so any cost that is hitting these cost elements will be used for the calculation of the overhead and that will be calculated and distributed based on the overhead rate and the will be loaded on the credit cost element.
