Cost distribution SRM to R/3 - based on VALUE

Hi all,
We are working on SRM 5.0 and R/3 4.7.,ECS
In shopping cart when the cost dsitirbution is sleected as "VALUE",when the corresponding SRM PO replicates to R/3,the cost distribution always changes to percentage/quantity....Why is that R/3 system recognises the cost distribution only for quantity or percentage???
Also we are now upgrading iur R/3 system to ECC 6.0.Is the above issue resolved in ECC or still persists in ECC 6.0 too???
Has anybody encountered the above issue??Please share experiences.

I am curious as to if you got this resolved. When we upgraded, I was hoping that we would finally get to use distribute by value between SRM and SAP without it converting over to percentages. I have worked with OSS and the discussion forum to come up with a resolution but no luck yet.

Cost distribution will not change automatically when you change the account assignment category. You will ve to distribute it manually on the same lines as you did for Cost Center earlier

Implement BADI BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI method BBP_SC_UI_CTRL for Object type BUS2121.
Do a check on the iv_fieldname parameter and set the cv_invisible and cv_input_ready to the value you need.
The fieldname for the distribution is called GV_DIST_IND (to get you started).

Shipment cost based on Value

I need your valuable suggestion on how to create the Value based shipment cost.
Our Process:
Create POS - Create Inbound delivery - Create Shipment - Create Shipment cost - Post Inbound Delivery.
So while posting the inbound delivery, the freight cost will post against the material. The invoice will be paid for the Vendor for the quantity purchased and freight charge will be paid for the freight Vendor(s).
We are adding the Vendor in the Shipment and adding the cost against the Vendor in the Shipment Cost.
Everything is working fine, but the shipment cost posting against the material was happening based on the delivery weight / quantity.
The reason for this asking the question is - we are receiving high value items and low value items with the same weight.
Question 1: Is it possible to have the shipment cost being split, calculated and posted against the material based on the PO Item received Value or PO Price
Quesion 2: Is it possible to post the shipment cost at a later date? Currently, the shipment cost posts when the inbound delivery is received (I know the material value will be posted when there is stock changes or price changes). But our issue is the invoice for the shipment cost will be received after a couple of days from the goods receipt. Right now we are entering couple of costs through assumption, then while postig the invoice, we adjust that value.
Note: I cannot enter the condition directly in the PO, as the same PO item will be partially received by multiple inbound deliveries

Freight carriers charges weight on the basis of Weight / volume of the items.SAP shipment works on the same principle.
Cost of transporting ton of Potataoes is same as transporting 10 ton of aluminium between two known destinations.
Hence it is illogical to distributes cost on the basis of item value. However if still you want to distribute the same on value basis then maintain freight condition(%) in PO as per your prefined logic of distribution of freight cost.
It is well known fact that cost of freight % is always higher in Low value items & iis low in case of High value items.

Cost distribution in Extended classic scenario

Hi All,
We are in SRM 4.0 using extended classic scenario.
When we create a purchase order with cost distribution, it gets copied to backend system. But the partial invoice field in backend PO is always having the value "Distribution in sequence".
In configuration for account assignment category, it has been defaulted to "Distribute proportionately".
When we checked with SAP they told that for SRM POs it will always be distribute in sequence. It has to be distributed while posting MIRO. This value is hardcoded in SRM PO transfer program. It is very strange and moreover this is a essential functionality which needs to be in SRM.
Any one using extended classic scenario, could you please tell me how you are handling multiple account assignments?
Please help me.
Thanks,
Arun

Friends,
If you are using cost distributions in extended classic scenario, then could you please check and let me know the value that you are getting in the "Partial Invoice" field in Account assignment tab of backend PO.
Please help.
Thanks,
Arun

Disabling the cost distribution button on the Process Purchase Order Screen

This is probably a simple question, but we have been unable to find the place to disable cost distribution on the SRM Process Purchase Order screen for limit orders ONLY. Basically, we just want this functionality to not be available to users. Can anyone direct us to the correct configuration for this? Or do we need to edit the BADI?
Thanks in Advance!

Hello,
You can hide this field by creating a screen variant through SHD0 transaction. I have tested here and I
could hide it (GV_DIST_IND in Program SAPLBBP_PDH_ACC screen 1000).
In the screen variant you should mark the output of GV_DIST_IND field.
However, this option would hide this button for all documents.
Kind regards,
Ricardo

Cost distribution in purchase order

Hi Experts,
I am working on SRM 4.0.
The scenario followed by us is extended classic scenario.
Is it possible to perform the cost distribution activity in change mode for the purchase orders which are already in approved status.
Please provide clarification on this scenario.
Regards,
Ashok

Hi,
The change of PO is cost distribution is being done in SRM.
Here the PO value is very less and there is no approval involved for the PO.
So soon after assigning the vendor and completing the shopping cart, the purchase order is also being issued to the vedor.
For such POs in SRM we are not able to find the cost distribution icon in SRM.
This is a service call from our client.

Ashok

COST DISTRIBUTION on OVERTIME

Hi All,
We have a issue in cost distribution on overtime. We use FLSA Overtime calculation in time. The OT is calculated after meeting the thershold and OT payment is paid in PY. Since the time is passing the accumulated numbers as wage type after thershold is met, we are loosing the cost allocation in Payroll.The attendence is entered in CAT2 as 24hrs format. If the employee knows that the OT belongs to different Cost, then the Employee enters the hours based upon the Cost center.
Finally when it comes out -of Time evaluation, everything is lost after thershold is met by FLSA standards.
Query 1. how to capture the Cost distribution for overtime hours in FLSA overtime calculation.
Thanks in Advance
arbindo

Hi Krish...
Very first thanks for your reply. Answer to your reply is ...there are chances for both.technically speaking multiple cost centers can be there for Overtime worked. since the WS is open sun to sat ,workimg hours are 00 to 24 hours employee can be called by different agenicies/ costcenters to work at any time.
In that case how to capture the CC after thershold.

Infoset query of vendor payments at the cost distribution level

We would like an infoset query of vendor payments at the cost distribution level of the document. The issue seems to be joining vendor to the document cost distribution lines.
1.) BSAK + BSIK can be combined with an infoset data structure but only contain the vendor line of a document; the cost distribution lines are not in the tables.
2.) BSIS + BSAS can be combined with an infoset data structure but lack vendor data and joins (to a vendor source) are not an option with data structures. Vendor data added with an additional field is too slow to be a primary selection field.
3.) Logical data base KDF in an infoset returns only the vendor line of a document, not the cost distribution lines.
4.) Logical data base BRM in an infoset can have vendor from BSAK/BSIK attached by an additional field but performance is too slow to be useful. Joins are not an option in a logical data base infoset.
5.) Complete data is lacking when table joins between document cost distribution tables and vendor data tables are possible, (SPL actual line item table & BSIP or FMIFIIT & FMIFIHD). BSIP lacks AB documents (reversals). FM tables lack general ledger only documents.
6.) BSAK and BSIK together have complete vendor data but joins of both to a basis table do not work well. Left outer joins are too slow, inner joins won’t work since the tables have mutually exclusive data.
It would be ideal to have vendor in BKPF, like FMIFIHD has, but it isn't a field.
Does anyone know of any other options? I have seen the helpful thread on How to Read BSEG Efficiently

Error while doing cost distribution

Hi all:
while I am trying to do cost distribution , a message comes that
Cycle DOFF is not valid on 11/01/2008
Message no. GA509
Diagnosis
Cycle DOFF is valid as of the starting date 04/14/2009
System response
This cycle cannot be processed.
Could you please tell me how solve the issue ?
Thank you very much

Hi,
The error is because you have created Cycle DOFF with the starting date 04/14/2009 & you are trying to run the distribution cycle for November 2008.
For which period do you want to run the cycle?
1) If it is for April 2009, then enter the correct period & year when executing the cycle.
2) If it is for November 2008, then you will have to increase the validity of the cycle. I dont think you can change the start date of a cycle. You could however create a new cycle with validity period Nov 2008 to Dec 9999 by copying the cycle DOFF & only changing the start & end date. Then execute this new cycle.

Travel Cost Distribution

We are having two company codes here, 1000 and 2000. Employees belong
to either of them. If an employee belongs to company code 1000, and he
makes allocation of his cost 100% to a cost centre that belongs to
company code 2000, we are having no problem in posting of expenses.
This we are handling by maintaining the cost centre belonging to 2000,
in the Infotype 17 of that employee.
However with the same employee belonging to comapny code 1000, if he
does cost allocation 50% to his master cost centre which belongs to
company code 1000 and 50% to a cost centre that belongs to company code
2000, we are facing error in posting.
Is this possible in Travel Management or it
is to be handled in FI module manually . If possible in Travel
Management, please help on achieving this

Hi Friends and Guru's,
I have a smilar issue related to travel management assignment of travel cost to different cost centre and different company code more details as below:
We have two company codes 1000 on one COA1 (Chart of Account) and Controlling area COA1 and another company code is on different COA2(Chart of Account) and Controlling Area COA2 and all employees are created in Company code 1000 and we do not have any employees created in Company Code 2000. Issue is business wants to allocate some travel done on 2000 should go to company code 2000, I have tried to change option in Infotype0017 and tried to play around Infotype 0027 subtype 02 cost distribution option no luck for sucess.
I would like to know your expert advice that do i need to create all employees in Company code 2000 and do i need to re-config Travel management along with GL mapping to 2000 or any substitute way to resolve this issue.
Your inputs much appriciated.

Diff in IT 0027 and IT 1018 ie.. Cost Distribution

Hello Experts,
My Earlier thread is not found.... so opening another thread........ ( My Question was about -> What is the diff between IT 1018 and IT 0027? If anyone could explain with an example would be great)....
Correct me if i am wrong, from the earlier replies i got an impression of..... we use IT 1018 if we want to distribute costs at the level of position or org unit...... and IT 0027 if we want to distribute by employee.....
I saw for the IT 0027 subtypes like Wage/Salary, Travel Expenses, Planned Cost Distribution, Planned Effort etc.,.
Can anyone explain me with an example in what scenarios will we be using each of thse subtypes.....
Also, what would be the functionality if IT 1018 and IT 0027 in case of concurrent employement???
All inputs are appreciated......
Thanks,
Janga K.

I would also like to know....... what would be the functionality of these ITs in case if concurrent employement.......
Would it be same or it would be different????
Thanks,

Cost distribution on infotype 15

We have our cost distribution assigned to our positions; we do not use IT0027. In some cases, we want certain types of payments to be posted to a specific cost center and fund. We enter these payments on IT0015. When I try to use the maintain cost assignment on the infotype, I get the following message:
"Account assgn Functional Area is active in HR on 09/06/2009 and must therefore contain a value"
The functional area is also set up on the cost distribution at the position level. What are we missing that is preventing us from using this functionality on IT0015?
Thanks in advance for the guidance!!

Thanks.
The functional areas are defined using transaction PO13, infotype 1018, field FKBER.
I removed the cost distribution on the position and left only the account assignment, IT1008, on the position. I tried entering the cost distribution on IT0015 with and without an IT0027, and I receive the same error message as before.

Cost distribution within the group companies

Hi Experts ,
Need your thoughts on what would be the best approach for the scenario explained below :
We have a parent company and three other companies within the group. In total 4 company codes. There are some expenses which are booked under parent company and should be later (at month end ) to be distributed at fixed % to the other 3 companies within the group as during the time of entry it is not feasible to separate the transaction at co code level or is time consuming activity. In what way we can distribute such cost and ensure it reflects in FI reporting also so that P&L shows correct distributed values. Also there are some assets which are commonly shared by all the assets so the depreciation also needs to be shared with the companies in the group. ECC 6.0 being implemented . I tried using distribution but is not giving desired result.
Thanks
Sunil

Hi Sunil Mane,
What cost objects distribution between different company codes?
T-CODE:OKKP Have you selected cross-company-code cost accounting? I think this is a preconditon of cost distribution between different company codes.
