Cost Allocation based on receiving cost center

Hi All,
I have a uniqure requirement. I have 1 producing cost center A and i have two main cost centers Z1 & Z2. I use KB21N for activity allocation and i use sending cost center A and receiving cost center Z1 for 100 hours and Z2 for 200 hours at $2 per hour for activity type labor. The entry posted is credit cost center A and debit cost center Z1 & Z2. At month end i end up over/under absorption of $5000 in cost center A, and i need to allocate this over/under absorption of $5000 to cost center Z1 and Z2 based on the actual consumption from cost center A. This can be done easily, based on the secondary cost element cost of the activity type, BUT the catch is cost center Z1 & Z2 also get costs for the labor cost element from other cost center too. For example cost center Z1 as labor cost element of $500 in total out which it has $200 from cost center A and rest from other cost centers, if i allocate the over/under absorption of $5000 based on the total $ values on the secondar cost element, it takes the total of labor cost element for allocation, that is $500 for basis of allocation. SKF also does
How can we address this issue, can it be done apart from assessment? Please let me know

Cost allocation based on time sheet

Hi,
I have a scenario to capture employees working time based on different projects/ sales order/ Internal services etc., and their cost has to be assigned to respective costcenters based on their actual (no.of hours) effort.
For Eg: If an employee works for 3 different projects in a day, his actual effort (2 hours in project#1, 3hours for Project#2, 3 hours for project#3) has to be assigned to respective costcenters.
Please help to address this scenario.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I think without CATS, you can not maintain the details Project wise.
Also You should have the PS module to identify tasks, and the hours against that, then the WBS elements, for each WBS element there will be cost center assigned.
So when you are booking the time sheets through cats, you will mention WBS element and hours.
This is the process.
Try this process, You can create different Attendance types and book your attendance manually for each attendance type and generate TWT, and at some point of time these attendances, or TWT or at Payroll processing you need to assign different cost centers to the different attendances, or TWT or WT.
And if you follow the above procedure, you need to give time consttraint accordingly to 2001 IT.
Pl award points, if it is useful to you.

Report showing costs on cost Centers before and after Cost Distribution

Hi experts,
Is there a report that shows the costs on a Sender / receiver Cost center/Cost elements before and after the distribution cycle is run. What I am looking for a report that shows the costs on Cost center/Cost Element before the cost allocation cycle is run, the allocated costs in different columns.
I would appreciate if some one could let me know the tables to fetch the values for the same ( values before allocation, allocated vlues for the month)
Thanks,
Vijayanth

How to add "Cost Plan Version" and "Planned Cost" into CNE5 report?

Hi,
I would like to display Cost Plan Version(VERSN) and Planned Cost in the CNE5 report.
How to retrieve Planned Cost that based on the Cost Plan Version ?
Appreciate helps. Thanks.
Regards,
See Mun

Plan versions: A plan version is created in accounting and stores different cost plans for a project, such as an "optimistic" and a "pessimistic" plan.
Now coming to plan version 0 is verson where actaul cost is updated in your organisation.
Plan version 1 is used for the planning...
How to see the same in CJE5 is suggested by Virendra..
However there is no filed name planned cost in report but the name of the filed is Proj.cost sched.000
with which you can achieve your result.
path is run txn CJE5>give your Project no.> F8> in new screen> F5-->in new Window scroll down in the right side for the Proj.cost sched.000 filed > with select take the same to left side>Enter--> values will displyed for this field in your report.
similarly you can use the other fields as well... take help of F4, to know the meaning of fileds.
Regards
Nitin

Cost Center -- Automatic Cost Allocation

Hi at all,
1. We receive a monthly invoice for electricity etc.
2. We put the hole amount in one Cost Center.
3. At the end we allocate the amount manually to each relevant Cost Center/Department.
From A $100.000
To S $50.000
To T $40.000
To Z $10.000
To ...
Is there a way to automate this?
It can be really annoying.
Markus

Hi Markus,
If i understand you correctly,you will book energy cost to one cost center and end of the month you will allocate to other cost centers.
two ways you can allocate costs in.
1. Assessment
2. Distribution
Assessment:
Assessment is an activity that you perform periodically, during the period-end closing in Overhead Cost Controlling (CO-OM), in which primary and secondary overhead costs are assessed from one or more sender objects to one or more receiver objects.
Assessment means that the sending cost center is credited and the receiving cost center is charged under a freely definable secondary cost element. The original cost elements that were charged by the sender cost center are lost, and are converted to one or more assessment cost elements (secondary cost elements).
Assessment groups together the posted primary and secondary costs and allocates them to the receiving cost center(s) in an assessment cost element. The cost centers for assessment are the quality lab, IT, cafeteria, housekeeping and plant security.
For example, you could assess the cost from the Reception cost center to the other cost centers based on the headcount managed in those cost centers.
T.code : KSU1,KSU2 and KSU3,
To Execute :KSU5
Distribution:
Distribution is an activity that you perform periodically, during the period-end closing in Overhead Cost Controlling (CO-OM), in which primary overhead costs are distributed from one or more sender objects to one or more receiver objects.
Many documents in Financial Accounting involve overhead costs. A clear allocation to one or more cost centers is not possible, or only with a major effort. You can use the allocation cost centers and internal orders as auxiliary constructs in such cases. During distribution, these costs are allocated (distributed) from their allocation cost centers to the actual receivers according to freely definable rules. The sender cost center is credited, and the receiving cost center charged, under the original cost element. In contrast to periodic reposting, however, the accounting information is lost in the process.
T.code : KSV1,KSV2 and KSV3
To Execute :KSV5
if you want to allocate costs by head count or fixed percentage etc.when your creating cycles you can choose these options.
Thanks,
Rau

Receiving Cost Center in CAT2 Work List Area

Hi Experts,
While booking time for an Employee in CAT2, I am getting Receiving Cost center in Work List area for this Employee. How do the System picks up this receiving Cost center in work list ? is it defaulted in any infotype to get in work list ?
Appreciate <removed by Moderator>reply !!

Hi,
If the profile is to default the Receiver Cost Center, should it be the emploee's home CCtr. (from Infotype 0001) or an alternate CCtr. (Infotype 0315)?
Transfer all data to HR and calculate Personnel costs using payroll. Charge costs to the Sender object. Then, trigger an Activity allocation between the Sender and the Receiver objects.

Cost Center Assessment to Cost Hierarchy based on Actual Consumption error

Assessment is set up:
SENDER: Cost Center: Overhead Expenses (values in expense accounts)
RECEIVER: Top Node of Cost Object Hierarchy (material consumption has been posted to two objects - related account has value and quantity fields)
Segment is set up:
Sender Rules: Posted Amounts
Share:100%
Actual value origin
Receiving tracing factor:
Receiver rule: Variable Portions
Var. portion type: Actual Consumption
No Scaling
Assumption is that "Var. portion type: Actual Consumptions" means the quantity in the consumption account on the receiver from the inventory posting. Is this true?
Edited by: Chris Gibson on Apr 13, 2010 11:56 PM

Hi dear Ajay, thank you for your answer.
first, I understand the difference between KSUB and KSU5, in the defined scenario, we have both. planned values, become actual with the MEC activities. business definition.
regarding the cycle, I have setup assessment cost element so we can get all planned lines posted as 1.
On sender tab I have only the cost center. no cost element defined.
receiver its cost center.
furthermore, i've not setup allocation structure, so all cost elements should be allow, there is no restriction on this.
the only difference is: planned costs which their origin is already an assessment are not being assessed again.
I can show you the print screens with cycles setup if it helps
best regards

Allocation of cost centers based on amount.

Hi Gurus,
I need to find out how cost center allocations happen?
How can these be traced in Tables?
Currently i am viewing KSU3 tcode.
Where I can view Controlling Area -> Cycles.
In each cycle i have noticed Sender and Receiver Cost Center with receivers has some percentages.
How Can i track these details from SAP tables.
For eg: Sender Cost Center(100$) -
> Receiver Cost Center(50$) ie., 50% of amount allocated from Sender Cost Center to Receiver Cost Center.

Hi,
You can overview your assessment via KSU6 transactions. The results of the allocations are stored, as all other CO documents, in COEP table (detailed level).
Additionally, these reports S_ALR_87013615 and S_ALR_87013616 can give you the picture of the allocations performed.µ

Why don't you use KSB1 to get the line item details after the distribution. Also if you would like to have a detailed output for KSV5 then select the option Detail Lists while executing the cycle.

Sender and Receiver Cost Center

Hi Experts
I have to assign CC as sender and receiver for all Employees.
I assigned the Sender CC in IT315; Need to know where to enter the receiver CC. Will it be the one in IT0001?
Please Confirm
Thanks

Hi,
Yes, you are right. Costs from sending cost center are consolidated at receiving cost center that can be stored in IT 0001.
Please have a look at SAP's brief explanation of cost accounting (last page) http://help.sap.com/bp_bblibrary/500/Documentation/N71_Scen_Overview_EN_DE.ppt
Cheers!

Receiver Cost Center on CADO report

Hi,
In CAT2 I enter time against Activity Type and WBS Elment. When I run the CADO report, I get the Sender Cost Center as the one maintained in PA30 (IT-1). But I dont understand where does the receiver Cost center gets picked from. Please help!
Regards,
Remya.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply..
No, it is not picking from Resp. Cost centre in Basic tab.
Also, it is not a Statistical WBS element, hence 'CCtr. post' in Control tab is blank.
Is there any other clue?

Remya

Sender Cost Center may not be the same as Receiver Cost Center

Hello every body
I am trying to create a report that shows the hours that an employee has spend on an activity in a project.
Key Figure:
Hours
Characteristics:
Sender Cost Center (Employees Cost Center)
Receiver Cost Center
Activity code
What happens is that in some cases the Sender- and Receiver Cost Center do have the same value (are the same) in a row. The task in front of me is to exclude these rows from the query result.
One way to resolve the problem is to make a variable for each object; use replacement path and bring the values of their key into query as keyFigures; subtract one from the other, and use a condition that only allows values different from 0.
The problem is that the key value of the Cost Centers are not always numeric values (e.g. M10110). These values can not be a part of a subtraction.
I can resolve this issue by deleting the data in the cube and make a key Figure in update rules with values 0 (sdr. and rec. have different keys) and 1 (sdr. and rec. have same keys).
Does any one knows of a way to accomplish the result I need in BEx, so I can avoid deleting every thing in the cube?
Best regards
