Can purchase order be cost object in any case ?

Hi,
My simple questions to you friends is ;
Can Purchase order be a cost object in any case ?
Plz reply
Thanks,
BKD

Hi,
You are mixing the terms. Cost object is a CO entity which is used to collect costs for further analysis. A classic example for it Cost Centre, Internal Order, etc. A purchase order is MM record, which could create CO document (commitment) if commitment management is activated for the controlling area. However, PO is not a CO object in any case.

Eli

Is there is a way to have a link from purchase order to cost center report.

Is there is a way to have a link from purchase order to cost center report.
I am meaning kind of:
Standard way to customized this link?
or
User exit to have this link in place
or
Any other solution
Thanks

For me it does not make any sense from going from PO to cost center report.
However, if you want to see the purchase order cost incurred with a cost center, execute KSB1 report. Within the layout, bring "Purchasing Document" field, where you can see the purchase order number in cost center line item report.

Movement 543 F always take sales order as cost object

Dear sap expert,
I run MTO scenario.
In one of my step before a product become finish good, the semi finish good need to sent to subcon vendor (the material need another process outside company production line).
The good issue journal is happen when we good receipt finish good from vendor.(FI team make it that way).
When posting good issue, MM use movement type 543 F.
The GL number for issuing material is 300196.
The problem is , movement type 543 F always take sales order as cost object even though I already delete the sales order when good issue to subcon vendor using tcode MIGO (good issue to vendor).
And I already settiing PA tranf structure of the GL account to a value field and also already setting OKB9 so the GL can automatically post to profi segment (COPA).
MM team also already set default setting layout 543 F for sales order as SUPPRESS.
But, still when run MIGO, the system still take sales order as cost object not to COPA (profit segment).
But, if i use 543 E with same dafault setting layout as 543 F, it works (the GL is post to COPA not sales order).
How can this happen?
What should I do to make the GL post to COPA not sales order when using movement type 543 F?
Please kindly help.

Hi Anu
If you are in MTO scenario and your sales order is defined as a cost object, then the system behaviour is correct..
Check if the following settings apply in your case...
1. Go to sale order, procurement tab
2. Check whats the req type
3. Go to OVZH and check whats the req class assigned to this req type
4. Go to OVZG and check whats the acount assignment cateory in req class
5. The account assignment catg would be having consumption posting field as E

Sales Order Vs Cost Object

Dear All
I got this information in SDN, please find the statement. Is it correct? Sales order is normally Cost Object. Below information he menctioned, If Sales Order is Cost Object.   Can u explain.
If sales order is cost object (or if sales order stock is non-valuated) you can't perform WIP or Variances for production order. You can just execute the settlement for the production order to sales order associated with this.
Regards

Dear Althea Madigan,
Thanqu for ur prompt replay, As per as ur discussion
       Production Order is in Process then, the production order become as a cost object
      If the Production Order is delivered, then Sales Order is a Cost Objet
      If Sales Order is delivered then it will settled as per settlement rule.
Here What is the difference between Producion Order delivered and Sales Order delivered.

Sales order being cost object

Dear All,
I need to make myself understand as I read few post which quite confusing.
Why sometimes sales order can be cost object for certain processes but not for some processes? In this case, GL can be cost element and also not a cost element.
Why third party order and MTS, sales order is not cost object whereas MTO, sales order is cost object?
thanks

Hi,
Below information helps you to understand the difference between MTO and MTS further:
MTO:
You will receive an order, it can take huge time to deliver this sales order, you need to follow the legal compliance on Revenue recognition, the functionality of Result Analsysis which is possible when the sales order is a cost object provides you the flexibility to manage the revenue recognition methods (OKG3). You can track the costing by Sales Order.Finally the costs and revnues are transferred to CO-PA.
MTS:
You will manufacture a product and send back to stores. You will receive the Order later, and you will pick the goods from the stores and delivers to the customer. Revenue recognition directly when the Billing is done together with costs.directly in CO-PA. No individual lot based costing required.
Kind Regards

Mine's much worst - can't send nor receive emails from Yahoo and Gmail. It simply won't connect. Gmail first gives an error about the SSL and to try again without it. But, it still won't connect. Yahoo on the other hand keeps on saying that the apple.imap server is not responding no matter what settings I change. It really does seem that there's something wrong on their end, however, it seems selective.
This is on top of the fact that all of my contacts were erased and the Personal Hotspot disappears intermittently.
By the way, I came from 4.2. I updated my wife's from 4.1 and her's is just peachy.

How settlement rule will be created for Sales order with cost object

Dear Experts,
We are using product cost by sales order with valuated stock. In addition we are not using COPA
We also consume some materials at sales order level and at the end of month we want to do the result analysis and settlement for the same amount. In this case can any on explain how system will behave regarding settlement of sales order cost and what entries will get pass in the system.
In our case we have done below activities...
we have created sales order,
All production order activities completed till final GRN including month end activities
Material consumption against sales order
Result analysis executed
At the time of sales order settlement, system throwing error (Sender doesn't have valid receiver, please create settlement rule for sender object)
Then i checked in sales order there sales order settlement rule not defined.
I guess this settlement rule need be generated by system automatically. If not, please let me know the process of it.

HI kishore
the reason is that sale order always carry the revenue and production order and production period carry the cost .
cost you can settle to the Material and even management want to be settle the cost to material only in production order OR period
but in sales order when u sell the product it carry the revenue not the cost and management want see and analysis based on profitability segment are profit center level .
Prerequisites
If CO-PA is active, the system generates a settlement rule when you create the sales order. The settlement rule determines whether data is settled to other objects or other areas in Controlling. In accordance with this settlement rule, the relevant data is settled to CO-PA.
If CO-PA is not active, create a settlement rule. This settlement rule that you create manually normally contains a G/L account as a receiver (such as 399999). You can also settle costs and revenues or results analysis data to objects with revenue.
You can also settle the cost of sales calculated in results analysis to a fixed asset or a cost center. To do this, you must add to the allocation structure the results analysis cost elements under which the cost of sales is updated to the order.
The settlement rule includes a distribution rule for the sales order item. The distribution rule is made up of a settlement receiver, a settlement share, and a settlement type:
The settlement receiver (such as profitability segment or G/L account) specifies the object to which the actual costs and revenue of the sales order item are settled. The settlement receiver can be proposed through the settlement profile.
The settlement share defines the percentage or the equivalence numbers used to distribute the costs to the individual settlement receivers. The settlement share for sales order items is usually 100%. A settlement share of 100% is preset in the system.
The settlement type specifies full settlement of the sales order item. This ensures that all the data on the sales order is available for results analysis.
Settlement still takes place in each period. The revenues and the cost of sales are transferred to CO-PA by period, and the work in process and the reserves are transferred to FI.

Excluding price of last purchase order from cost estimate

Good morning,
we have the issue described below:
we would like to exclude a price of some purchase orders from valuation in cost estimate in case of valuation is made by price from purchasing info record.
In this case valuation considers price of last purchase order even if there is a valid agreement used.
Our customer would like to have valuation with price of purchasing agreement and not price of the standard purchase order closed, but if agreement is older and during creation of standard PO is setted the "InfoUpdate" flag, system updates the inforecord and in CK11N during cost calculation it uses this price for subcontracting.
We have done some tests...Is there a standard SAP solution to have price of valid purchase agreement?
Many thanks.
Giusy Castiglione
Accenture Outsourcing

Hi,
Your requirement seems to be very unique and hence you need to try out through by selecting the valuation through user exit where we can request the system take the po price from purchase agreement instead of purchase orders. This selection deftly resolve this unique requirement instead of searching for a std solution.
Trust this helps much!
Regards,!

Purchase order with cost center

I have 1 purchase order raised against cost center. for which gr, iv & payment also done but. client want to return part of the goods.
What can be the best process to do this.
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi,
Talk to your business team, what is real requirement now and also consult with FI/CO team
As payment done, you can go for creating a Return PO and then do GR with 161 movement type( if excise,do J1IS for to reverse excise and then print with J1IV) and finally go for credit memo in MIRO.
OR
Considering payment done to vendor as wrongly/ by mistake,so 1st check accounting document number for which vendor (with account number) in t.code:FBL1N & then reverse it with t.code: F-02 and finally clear it with t.code: F-44.Reverse all GR and MIRO document.

Create Purchase Order to cost center

Hi,
Will it be possible to create a purchase requisition from the MRP run which has account assignment K and default a cost center.
At the moment I need manually to update the requisition item line with 'k' and costcenter before converting to a purchase order.
br,
Anders

The purpose of MRP run is to make sure that you always have enough stock.
An order to cost center will not increase stock.
Means: MRP is not able to create requisitions for cost center consumption. If you change a requisition created by MRP to be ordered to a cost center, then the next MRP run will create a new requisition to stock.

One step purchase order approval - Trigger only in certain cases.

Hi,
I want to trigger the one step workflow approval for Purchase Orders only in ceraitn cases.
When the PO is created from a shopping cart it has to be automatically approved. In other cases the workflow has to be triggerred.
I tried setting the no_further_approval flag to 'X' in the Approval BADI but did not work.
Any Suggestions?
Does the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI work for one step approval or is it only for the n step?
Is it better to manipulate the start conditions?
Any help is appreciated.
Joe Vellaiparambil

Hi
If the workflow is not working as expected, refer to SAP Note 322526, Analysis for workflow problems.
You should go with making the start conditions work, as you are aware that only 1 level Approval is required. Try making changes in the start conditions by using transaction - SWB_PROCUREMENT.
Note ->This BADI - BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI is only recommended for N-step dynamic approval workflow. I don't think you need this BADI as the first alternative.
<u>Refer to few links as well.</u>

Error in CO88 for SFG cost rollup to FG (MTO Sales Order is Cost Object)

Experts,
I am getting Error in CO08 as No price could be determined for material/batch 7000000001/ plant 1000Message no. CK465
Lower level materials (Semi finished goods) not costing, when I am creating production order against Sales Order for Finished Goods.
I have BOM & Routing for Both Materials as well as it is costing well at sales order level. When Material have Quantity Structure (PP Maters) why system searching for price in material master? Is it require do the any config for cost rollup.
Plz give me the your valuable solution for rectify the error.
Please do the needful.
Thanks & Regards
Bhagirath

Hi,
When the MTO is created from sales end it will create the Planned order then it will convert to Production or Process order.
Once the production do GR or confirm Produced QTY the stock will go to Sales stock not to inventory stock.From there the sales can do PGI to customer.once PGI has done the account entry for the customer account will take place automatically.
Once the production completed the Production order need to calculate for the variance & the Settlement need to be done for the production order against the Material which you produced & sale to customer.The difference & variane amount will post to Price difference & moved to Product cost of the material automatically & COPA entry will be done automatically.
The MTO Material need to run for the Cost estimate also.
The WIP can be calculated & difference can be posted against the production order & the material which you produce.
The Process is same as the Make TO Stock scenario.Only the difference is the Production will get generate automatically when the MTO order get created & the stock will post to sales stock automatically.Rest the CO part is same as MTS scenario.

Raj

How can I get the Doc object from any other object?

Dear colleagues,
in FrameScript it is dead-simple to get to the document part of any object, just add .Doc to the variable.
How can I achieve the same with ExtendScript? I amtired of passing the document object next to AFrames or Pgfs along into subroutines, because those objects already contain the information about their document. But how do I access this?
Thanks for pointers,
- Michael
PS: Almost the same is true for the page an object lives on. With FrameScript we use .Page, with ExtendScript you have to move up the object tree until you reach the UnanchoredFrame.PageFramePage…
PPS: It would be great to see some convenience properties like .Doc and .Page implemented natively.

I'll preface this response by admitting this far from an elegant solution, but I did write a function addressing this question, mostly as an exercise.
If passed an object with an InTextFrame property (Pgf, AFrame, Cell, Fn) that resides in an open document, the function will return the Doc object. Otherwise, it returns undefined.
function getParentDoc(testObj) {
    //Get object for current page
    try { var curPage = testObj.InTextFrame.FrameParent.PageFramePage; }
    catch(er) {return;}
    //Step backwards to first page in document
    var prevPage = curPage.PagePrev;
    while (prevPage.ObjectValid())
        curPage = prevPage;
        prevPage = prevPage.PagePrev;
    //Compare with first pages of open documents
    var testDoc = app.FirstOpenDoc;
    while (testDoc.ObjectValid())
        if (curPage.id==testDoc.FirstBodyPageInDoc.id) return testDoc;
        testDoc = testDoc.NextOpenDocInSession;
    return;
To your PPS: Rather than seeing the native framework grow bloated to address additional features, I would love to see Adobe and other developers publish libraries of useful functions and class extensions.
