1. Cost Items
Training and Event Management uses cost items to determine and represent the costs of a business event.
You require cost items if you want to use the functions cost transfer posting, internal activity allocation for
instructors, and price proposal determination.
You use cost items to store costs for resources, resource types, business events, and business event types.
The costs you store for a business event type, for example, can be taken over for the business event. You
can overwrite these default values as required. The same applies to the values you store for a resource type.
The system first reads the costs stored for the business event or the resource itself. If there are no costs
stored here, the system then reads the costs stored for the event type or resource type. These costs are
added together during price proposal determination.
1.1 Creating a Cost Item

Resource types & resources
Resource Type
A resource type is a classification of resources that share the same characteristics or attributes. Training and
Event Management distinguishes four classifications of resource types:
 Room
 Instructor
 Material
 Other Resource
New attendee is created

27
Use
 Categorizing resources into resource types facilitates resource management and provides you with a
clear overview of what resources are available. When you create a resource type, you define the
attributes that all resources of this type have in common.
 When you assign resource types to a business event type in the Create Business Event Type
function, you are specifying utilities that may be required for holding the event. You assign the actual
resources to the actual scheduled event with the function Create Event Dates with Resources.

28
The Availability Indicators infotype lets
you specify the conditions that apply to
the resource types required when a
business event is planned.
Resource priority: You can assign a priority value
to resources, specifying the order in which
resources are presented to you during automatic
resource reservation.
Location dependency: If you use business event locations, you can
maintain this indicator for rooms. Once you set the room indicator for
a resource, the system automatically proposes the location-dependent
indicator.
Indicator required resource: You use this indicator to
specify that a given resource is essential for a business
event and must be reserved for it
indicators multiple and single let you specify whether a
required resource can be reserved by multiple business
events or only by one.
Amount Available: This feature lets
you specify how many resources of a
type you need per event or per
attendee per event you require one
resource of the type room, per two
attendees you need one PC (other
resource).

29
Alternative resource search: here you specify the object type or relationship + object type that are
required so that resources belonging to the categories Material and Instructor are proposed for selection
during resource reservation. The system automatically enters the relevant relationships/object types when
you specify one of the above-mentioned categories.

30
Relationships
In this infotype, you specify the cost center to which resources of a resource type belong. The cost center you
enter here is proposed as default for the pertinent resources. You may overwrite it if required.
The capacity infotype lets you specify the minimum, optimum, and maximum capacity of rooms. These values
are compared with the capacity values stored for a business event or event type when attendance is booked.

You maintain the Costs infotype on this tab page. You assign costs (subdivided into cost items) to a resource
type. This information is required for cost transfer to Cost Accounting and for the price determination feature
as well.
31

33
Creating a Room
In this step you create the resource room. In other words, you enter data for a physical room that exists in the
system so that you can later reserve it for events.
Procedure
On the SAP Easy Access screen, in the SAP Standard Menu choose Human Resources  Training and
Events  Settings  Current Settings  Resource Management  Room. The Room: Initial Screen
appears.
1. Enter the validity start date of the object in the Validity field.
2. If required, change the status of the new resource. The default status entered is active.
You can create the resource room in either active or planned status. Planned status is rarely used in
Training and Event Management. You could, however, use planned status to indicate resources that
have not yet been acquired.
3. Choose Create Room. The Create Room: Data Screen appears.

34
6. Enter an abbreviation and a long name for the new resource.
Maintain the infotypes offered on the tab strips as required:
Relationships:
Belongs to location: Enter the location of the building here (town or city).
If you are using business event locations, this relationship is mandatory since otherwise the system
cannot find the resources for reservation.
Is a specialization of resource type: Enter the resource Room here for the corresponding resource
type.
Is equipped with resource type: Enter the resource type that the room automatically contains here.
This relationship is also used during the resource selection procedure. Example: a room is equipped
with PCs.
Cost center assignment: Specify the cost center assignment of the resource if this data has not
already been maintained for the resource type or if you want to override this value.
Capacity: In the Capacity infotype, specify the minimum, optimum, and maximum capacity of the
room if you have not already maintained this information for the pertinent resource type or if you want
to override these values.
Address: Assign the room to a building and enter telephone, fax, and room numbers.
Further information: Maintain the Costs infotype for the room and specify cost items if you have not
already maintained this information for the pertinent resource type or if you want to override these
values.
Result
You have created a room. You can reserve this room when you plan and create business event dates.

38
Creating External Instructor
In this step, you create external instructors. These are persons whose data is not stored in HR Master Data
(not employees) and who are assigned to object type H External Person.
Procedure
On the SAP Easy Access screen, in the SAP Standard Menu choose Human Resources  Training and
Events  Business Events  Settings  Current Settings  Resource Management  External
Instructor. The Create External Instructor: Initial Screen appears.

39
1. Enter the validity start date of the object in the Validity field.
2. Choose . The Create External Instructor: Data Screen appears.

Business Event Group
Definition
Business event groups serve to classify business event types that share the same characteristics or deal with
related subject matter such as Language Courses or Data Processing Courses.
A business event group can contain subordinate event groups, which typically contain multiple business
event types. Thus, you can create a hierarchical structure of event groups.
Use
The hierarchical structure, starting with event groups and working down, makes your business event
catalog accessible and easy to navigate from the user's point of view, and easier to create from your
point of view. The business event groups occupy the highest level of this hierarchy.
You could decide to start with the event group Data Processing Courses, for instance. From here,
you would work your way down to the individual events and dates.
You do so in Customizing for Training and Event Management under Basic Settings  Dialog
Control  Technical Settings  Dynamic Menus in the entry SEMIN LROOT.
