Creation of cost elements automatically

Hi,
When I selected "manual creation of cost elements" in OB13, Then we can create a group of cost elements in OKB2 followed by OKB3 and SM35.
Even I need to do same thing  I when I select " automatic creation of cost elements" ??
I tried selecting " automatic creation of cost elements".  and I checked in KA03 whether it had created any cost element automatically. but it didnt created any thing...
Please suggest..

Dear Santosh Dharana,
Good Question.  i can clarify you. this question
1. when you select in ob13 create cost elements manually
when your are using in obk2  we have to maintain here Acc from no. to Acc to no. ranges for Gl's and cost element categeory.
after we can run batch in put in obk3 & SM 35 it's updated successfully.
Note: After execute, *when you are try create another GL account with cost element we have to give cost element categeory by manually.
2.when you select in ob13 create cost elementsAutomatically
when your are using in obk2  we have to maintain here Acc from no. to Acc to no. ranges for Gl's and cost element categeory.
after we can run batch in put in obk3 & SM 35 it's updated successfully.
Note: After execute, when you are try create another GL account with cost element we don't have to give any cost element categeory here  system automatically give .
Please try it.  i worked for this one
Thanks & Regards

  • Automatic creation of cost elements

    Dear All,
    The automtic creation of cost elements functionality is not working for some GL accounts in production. When new GL accounts are created, the same are not created as cost elements. All the standard settings viz 'selection of automatic creation' in controlling area configuration, creation of number ranges in OKB2 etc are in place. We posted in OSS and they are not able to find reasons why this is happening.
    Has anyone faced a situation like this? Please post your valuable thoughts and share your inputs. We currently have a log created by user on this and pending for quite sometime.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Yes. We do face problem like this often. We wriggle out by updating through manually when we are very nearer to go-live date. Otherwise, we can create an abap program and meet the deficiency.
    Trust this helps much!
    Cheers!

  • Manual/Autometic creation of cost elements in chart of accounts field

    Dear Friends,
    While creation of Chart of accounts (OB13) under  Controlling Integratiion tab
    thers is two options are there.
    1 manual creation of cost elements
    2 autometic creation of cost elements.
    While creation of cost elements if we select
    (MANUAL CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS) what will happen???
    (AUTOMETIC CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS) what will happen?
    What is the main difference between about two fields?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    MANUAL CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS -  Cost elements maintained manually. A push button is available for
    this purpose, with which you can go directly to the related cost
    element.
    AUTOMETIC CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS - Cost elements maintained automatically. When you save a new G/L
    account, the related cost element is automatically created. A prerequisite is that a default value for the cost element category
    has been set up for this cost element. If no default value is found, the system will not create a cost element.
    You can make default settings via :
    Cost Element accounting --> master data --> cost element --> automatic creation of primary and secondaru cost element --> make default settings

  • Creation primary cost elements

    Primary cost elements can be generated in batch for creation, but then it seems to me it's all of them or nothing.
    Is this also possible for 1 year for instance or for a limited number of cost elements, via another transaction for instance.  MASS create?

    Hi Walter,
    First of all you have to select automatic creation of cost elements for your chart of account in OB13.
    Next in OKB2, you have to specify the cost element category for the range or single cost elemets.
    Next create batch input session in OKB3, here you can give from and to valid date.
    You have to execute the created batch input session in SM35.

  • Restrict Creation of Cost Elements

    Hi All,
    I have a situation in which I have to restrict creation of Cost Elements for some of my P&L GL accounts. Is there any way I can restrict them. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    MKR

    Hi MKR,
    I would recommend not to have any validations for this.. This is the heart of the whole system and needs to be maintained in a very disciplined way
    If you put hard stops for such things, people will never understand the relevance of things and slowly the mind set evolves like "Unless the system gives a hard stop, any thing and every thing can be done"...  So, they go on creating nuisance in the system till the system stops them
    Moreover, there is no logic by which you can control this even if you try for an ABAP check... If you do still, it will propose probs in future...
    Provide the authorization for creating/changing cost elements to one single person who understands the system well and have a central control...

  • Creation of Cost Element in trading Company

    Hi,
    Ours is Trading company. We do not manufacture any products and hence we don't have production or process orders.
    Should we create price difference (due to difference in goods receipt and invoice receipt) and Cost of goods sold G/Ls as cost elements?
    Please reply.
    Regards,
    Bijay

    Hi,
    If you are using controlling, you can create those accounts as cost elements. It is all depends upon the requirement. Is this price difference account effect your cost reports?  i mean if you use this account for management accounting reports you can create this account as a cost element.  In the same cost of goods sold acocunt also. 
    The rule for creating an account as cost element is .. is that account effect your controlling/management accounting or not. If yes, create as a cost element otherwise no need.

  • Creation of secondary cost element

    Hai SAP Gurus
    Could any one please let me now how to create secondary cost element in SPRO.
    Thanks.

    You can create secondary cost elements in KA06. There is no pre-requisite of creating GL accounts.
    Cost elements describe the origin of costs. Cost elements are defined as either
    primary and secondary. Primary cost elements arise through the consumption of
    production factors that are sourced externally. Secondary cost elements arise
    through the consumption of production factors that are provided internally.
    The Chart of accounts contains all general ledger (GL) accounts belonging to
    Financial Accounting.
    Expenses and Revenue accounts in Financial Accounting correspond to
    Primary Cost and Revenue Elements respectively.
    Secondary Cost Elements are used exclusively in CO to identify internal cost
    Flows such as assessments or settlements. They do not have corresponding
    General ledger accounts in FI and are defined in CO only.
    When you create a cost element, you must assign a cost element category. This
    Assignment determines the transactions for which you can use the cost element.
    You can create cost elements automatically by making default settings that are used
    To specify the cost element, or cost element interval that you wish to create.
    You can create cost elements manually in bulk with the help of LSMW or BDC.
    Primary Cost Element Categories:
    1 - Primary costs / cost-reducing revenues
    3 - Accrual / deferral per surcharge
    4 - Accrual / deferral per debit = actual
    11 - Revenus
    12 - Sales Discounts
    22 - External Settlement
    Secondary Cost Element Categories:
    21 - Internal Settlement
    31 - Order / Project results analysis
    41 - Overhead Rates
    42 - Assessment
    43 - Internal activity allocation
    50 - Project related incoming orders: Sales
    51 - Project related incoming orders: Others
    52 - Project related incoming orders: Costs
    61 - Earned Value

  • GL account and Cost elements

    Hello All,
    I am looking for a report to check the GL accounts and the cost elements. I want to check if the cost element is been created for all the GL accounts and incase if I missed on the cost element for any GL account then I should create it.
    Is there  any standard report or even if I have to check 2 reports that would be fine.
    Thanks
    Priya

    Hi Priya,
    1. If automatic creation of the cost element is selected in your chart of accounts then you check it out list in transaction OKB2 where there is less scope to miss the creation of cost elements.
    2. If it was not activated or activated later then take the GL Account list from SKB1 and cost element list from CSKA and use VLOOKUP functionality of excel.
    Creating query will not help here because filed GL Account and Cost element are different even though they have the same value.

  • Converting Multiple GL accounts to cost elements

    Hi,
    Is there any transaction where I can convert the multiple GL accounts to Cost Element Active.
    Thanks and Regards
    Madhu Vutukuri

    Hi,
    As our friend Sivakumar mentioned you need to define which GL Account range you want to create as cost elements, what cost element category it should be in OKB2.
    Once you define them you need to create batch input and execute batch input transactions from the following menu.
    SPRO -> Controlling -> Cost Element Accounting -> Master Data -> Cost Elements -> Automatic Creation of Primary and Secondary Cost Elements
    This will be a first time activity to create cost elements. If you did the setting to create the cost elements automatically, it creates cost elements automatically based on the settings you created in OKB2.
    Hope this answers your question.
    Thanks,

  • MASS  Maintenance  of cost element

    Hi,
    What is the TC for mass maintenace of  cost element like TC :fs15 for gl
    With regards,

    Hi krishna,
    there is no mass maintaiance of the Cost element. only automatic creation of cost element.
    this automatic creation is also one time job. after that only very few cost element will be created.
    and also to be noted is the data under the cost element is alos very less : only thing are assigned. and there is no
    that ia cost element cat, defult account assigment only.
    every time u create a few G/L u can go for the automatic cost elements.
    hope this is clear.
    give me some points.
