FI Cube for G/L and Cost Center Restriction

Hi,
We are trying to build a finance report that provides items like overhead, revenue, expenses etc. We started working with cube 0FIGL_C01 but there does not appear to be a way to restrict by cost centers. Basically, we have a list of G/L accounts defining the various items like overhead, revenue, expenses etc, but for some of these items we need to exclude certain cost centers. In such a scenario, which cube might be the best for us to use?
Thanks,
Anita S.

Agree, but also check if the company is approaching the use of the new Flexible General Ledger (that comes in ECC 6.0).
If so, you could have GL balances split by Cost Center directly in GL.
If not, you have the above mentioned infocubes.

  • Transfer Out and In for entire department and cost center

    I am attempting to create a br or calc script to move all employees from a dept and cost center combination to another dept and cost center combination. I was wondering if anyone else has solved this or if it is in fact possible to do this. When you have 1 or 2 hundred employees that need to be moved it hurts to think of having to move them all one at a time using the traditional transfer out br and then the transfer in br.

    I have not done this but I am sure this can be done. In default transfer rule, employee member is a prompt. In your case, you need to copy the rule and fix on level zero level employee dimension instead of employee prompt. That should pretty much take care of everything.
    However, you might run into few issues when employees are transferred out but not transferred is as yet and multiple users run this rule. Then you will lose reference to employees transferred out from a particular department. Since your example might be more valid in cases where departments are closed in GL systems, it might be a good option to make the rule to transfer out and transfer in at same time in a single business rule.

  • Control G/L account and Cost Center for movement type 251

    Dear Friends,
    I would like to use mov. type 251 for GI for sale and like to control over G/L account and Cost center.
    The G/L account is by default from the valuation class of the the material and if the user will enter wrong G/L
    we had done the customising in OMJJ movement type 251 - Account grouping - Unchecked the check box of column
    "Check account assignment" - Impact is " the system always uses the G/L accounts or account assignments determined automatically"
    I also made default cost center for G/L account and plant wise through OKB9.
    Now I would like to suppress/dispaly the G/L account and cost center - for same I had done Setting in Entry control menu of OMJJ for 251 of field Account control - Value  - "-" field is suppressed. But it is not working.
    Please advise to solve this situation.
    Thanks & Regards
    Rajan

    Dear Rajan
    Yes, I have checked in MB1A earlier. We have separate node for Field seletion layout for Enjoy transaction MIGO for mvt type in which the G/L account (KONTO) an Cost center (KOSTL) have only optional or required entry selection.

  • GL account and cost center field appearing for Goods issue movt type 201

    Hi SAP Gurus
    We are trying to post goods issue in ecc6 . The problem is that the GL Account and cost center fields are available fields .The cost center field is logical but why the GL account field is avaiable .
    How we can grey out the same field as it is going to be picked up from the valuation class setting in GBB - VBR ? Any ideas
    Regards
    Hitesh

    Hi Ravi
    You think that its ok we have to input the cost center .
    But if you allow the users to input the GL then you are overriding the whole purpose of defining the valuation class and offsetting entries ? What is your opinion ?When you input the material in the goods issue screen the offsetting entry needs to be picked from the GBB -VBR .Although even if you do not enter the GL the system posts the Godds issue document .But from the control perspective this needs to be suppressed .
    What do you think ?
    I have also posted the same in Logistics forum .
    Once  again many thanks for your help .In case you find some solution this would be of great help

  • Plant and Cost Center are not displaying in FI doc. for asset scrap ABAVN.

    Hi All,
    When we do asset retirement by Scraping using Transaction Code ABAVN, Plant and Cost center are not appearing in the FI document. But, in the master data the Plant and Cost center are assigned for the particular Asset. 
    When I see the FI document display, the fields Cost Center and Plant are blank.  Business Area and Profit Center fields are getting updated.
    Can any one help me how to get this Plant and Cost Center in the posted document.  Is there any OSS notes for this.  I am using ECC 6.0 version.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Regards,
    Rajesh

    Steps
    Click on Simulate, than you see the posting screen:
    Click on the line (pk 40)
    Click on Goto and Additional account assignment and fill in the cost center whatu2019s in the master record of the asset and post
    An other option is to make a substitution to get this information

  • Override Company and Cost Center for FI Posting from HR Payroll

    Hello all. I have this scenario with a company that was merged into another and retroactive payroll occurs for absences and extra time in the "old" company, but the "old" merged company is closed so no postings can occur.
    I also found this unanswered post:  How to Override Company and Cost Center for FI Posting from HR Payroll
    We suppose that retroactive differences could be accounted in the new company code but I didnu2019t found any way to do it even in the BADI SMOD_PCPO0001 I couldnu2019t find a way to change the company code/cost center....
    Does anyone have dealt with the same problem? What is the solution?

    Amosha, thank you for your response.  Here is PCP0 that shows what I mean by 'header company code' that I don't see how to change (I re-ran pd 26 2008--bi-weekly payroll, btw):

  • How to Override Company and Cost Center for FI Posting from HR Payroll

    Current problem:  A company code has been 'merged' into another one and the old company code can no longer be used.  In the last payroll run, there was a rate change that caused a retro back to the time of the old company code and since the old company code and cost center were closed, the FI posting error'ed out.  To correct, we had to delete the offending pernr from the cluster and back out the rate change until we came up with a solution. 
    Investigation has revealed a process called 'Substitute Cost Centers', but we tested it and a 'flusher' cost center is required to be set up in the old company code and FI refuses to open it up. 
    Also, I've located 3 user exits for RPCIPE00, but I do not see where  company and cost center can be changed.  So I've tried to code my own BAdi, but there seems to be a header company code that I'm not getting.  The item company code and cost center seem to be doable, but I don't know how to change the header company code.
    I am new to HR and Payroll having spent the last couple of years in BI and before that I worked with the material master and Purchasing.  It is my humble opinion that the company should not have been 'turned off' until Payroll was finished with it and that means 2 years until we archive.  In reading about symbolic accounts, several times it is written not ever to delete them.  Seems to me company code is the same.  But surely I must be wrong and there is a solution that will make everybody happy. 
    I would appreciate any and all ideas.  Thank you so much.

  • PO reporting that can capture PO number, PO value and cost center

    Dear SAP expert and gurus,
    Would like to seek for your professional advise and consult on which report in MM that can capture the PO number, PO value and cost center.
    Kindly advise.
    Thank you
    Regards
    Leonard Tan

    ME80FN is a good report that captured the PO number and amount. However, the cost center is not being captured here. is there any suggestion?
    ME2K is not an ideal report to user cause, user requires the data to be shown in one line instead of 2 to 3 line.
    Is there any report like ME80FN can be captured PO number, PO value and Cost Center.

  • AP invoice with different tax rate and cost center?

    Dear all,
    We are just upgrade from 11i to R12.1.3. Before in 11i, we can change distribution account in AP invoice distribution line if the type is "Tax". However, after updated to R12, we define tax code (e.g. P1 for particular account combination), so once user selects tax code "P1" and invoice will automatic creates tax line for such invoice but the user cannot change distribution account anymore. Because in 11i, user will change the distribution account (cost center segment) but now in R12 user cannot change it.
    The only work around is defining different tax code for different cost center.
    For example: P1-0001 => 01.0000.999999.00001
    P2-0001 => 01.0000.999999.00002
    We have hundred of tax code and cost center combination.
    Any other work around for this? or anyone encounter the same problem?
    Please advice.
    Thanks.

    Let me explain more in details:
    1) The cost centre will will more. 2 cost centres just a simple example.
    For now, we have 5 cost centres for each of the tax rate. For the work around now, I need to define 5 tax codes for the same tax rate for different distribution combinations:
    Quote
    Tax Code ==>Tax Rate ==> AP Distribution Combination
    A1-3500 ==> 10% ==>001.9999999.3500.00
    A1-3600 ==> 10%==> 001.9999999.3600.00
    A1-3700 ==> 10%==> 001.9999999.3700.00
    A1-3800 ==> 10%==> 001.9999999.3800.00
    A1-3900 ==> 10%==> 001.9999999.3900.00
    2) The driving factor would be 100% percent.
    Please kindly advice.
    Many thanks.

  • Internal order and Cost center

    hi guys
    can anyone please explain me why do we have cost centers and internal orders?
    If we can track cost to cost center then why do we need internal orders?
    please give some detailed explanation.
    thanks

    when you are posting a document and if the g/l is created as a cost element then
    you have to either assign a cost center, profit center, internal order etc
    so when you are posting an expense and if its for that project you assign the
    internal order and when the project is finished you can settle it to a cost center.
    If we can assign both internal order and cost center i dont think so but not very
    sure. Best way to learn these things i would recommend is try it in test system
    that way you will understand better about the whole flow and it will stick in your
    mind.

    Hi,
    Business consolidation is for more of consolidation purpose and cost center grouping is more for management reporting purpose for cost control purposes.
    Both the organizational units serve for different purposes. Consolidatied business will not have much meaning unless you go with EC-CS.
    Cost Center Groups are much for control purpose and help in managerial reporting.
    Business Units are part of FI Organizational Structure and Cost Centers are part of CO organizational structures.

    Thanks
    Laura.

    As you would for any other infoobject
    Activate the business content hierarchy datasources on R3 for cost centre and profit centre
    Go into BW - replicate the metadata
    Then just connect via transformations or transfer rules the datasources to yoru infosources or master data objects
    Create an infopackage per hierarchy!!!!! - press the button available hirachies from OLTP - click the one you want on the left - fire it off
    Then repeat new infopackages for all hierachies
