Hi,
My understanding of your problem is
One or more of the said work center (dept) are utilized in your maintenance order and you need to distrbute the cost to the respective dept. As only one cost center (referred in the Equipment master) is the cost receiver during settlement but you want to have department costs.
If my understanding is correct, you may think about the following solution
With the help of your CO Consultant, you can maintain the Allocation structure with three different assignments
1. Main work center cost --> settle the cost to Main WC cost element
2. Preforming WC cost --> cost to perf WC cost ele
3. Prod WC cost --> cost to prod wc cost ele
Set the sources for each assignment with appropriate Cost element and Settlement cost elements with respective depts cost element.
hope this helps.
