   of Cost Centers
  
  Overview:
  The SAP transaction code KCAN is used to derive cost centers in the SAP system. It is a part of the Controlling (CO) module and is used to assign cost centers to other objects such as orders, projects, and activities. This transaction code helps to ensure that the costs associated with these objects are accurately tracked and reported. 
  
  Functionality: 
  KCAN allows users to create derivation rules that define how cost centers are assigned to other objects. The derivation rules can be based on various criteria such as organizational structure, cost center group, or other characteristics. The rules can also be used to assign cost centers automatically when creating new objects. 
  
  Step-by-step How to Use: 
  1. Access the KCAN transaction code in the SAP system. 
  2. Select the “Create Derivation Rule” option from the menu. 
  3. Enter the criteria for the derivation rule and select the cost center that should be assigned when the criteria is met. 
  4. Save the rule and activate it in order for it to take effect. 
  5. Test the rule by creating a new object and verifying that the correct cost center is assigned. 
  
  Other Recommendations: 
  It is important to regularly review and update derivation rules in order to ensure that they are up-to-date with changes in organizational structure or other criteria. Additionally, it is recommended that users create multiple rules for different scenarios in order to ensure that all objects are assigned a cost center correctly.
