Which object should be used to achieve this detailed cost component split for secondary costs?
A company is migrating to SAP S/4HANA and wants to extend the standard sales order creation process. The extension needs to perform a complex credit check by calling an external microservice and, based on the response, put the sales order on hold.

(Select TWO) ```mermaid sequenceDiagram participant User participant S4HANA as SAP S/4HANA participant BTP as SAP BTP Extension participant CreditSvc as External Credit Service User->>S4HANA: Create Sales Order S4HANA->>BTP: Sales Order Created Event BTP->>CreditSvc: Request Credit Check CreditSvc-->>BTP: Credit Status BTP->>S4HANA: Update Sales Order (API Call) ```
A financial analyst needs to perform ad-hoc analysis on cost center expenses. They want to slice and dice the data by G/L account, cost center group, and calendar month, and then visualize the results in a pivot-style layout.
