How to design and develop Cost center with SAP BPC 5.1 ?

Hi all,
Can any one tell me how to design and develop cost center planning (what are the steps to follow) using SAP BPC 5.1?
Thanks,
Sandy

Hi Sandeep,
1:We need to look at whether cost center planning is tied to a profit center level and/or to a company code level
2:We could have dimensions like Account(which in this case would reflect cost element),category,entity,time with additional dimension s like profit center(cost centers can have a direct mapping to profit center,usage of properties would help in here),WBS ,projects,investment position id's etc.
3:We could look at different applications like HR(pay roll related expenses),admin,capex(to bring in depreciation values) etc to bring in data to pull in data to different cost centers either directly or via script logic(usage of destination_app)
4:For those values not tied up to profit centers ,we would look at allocating/distributing the expenses to different cost elements
5:We need to decide whether we do the planning on a monthly/periodic vs yearly level where in we would look at actual values and incrementing at a certain % to fill in as the base for our planning(using category=actual/plan plus timeperiods).We could look at Top down vs botton up approach as well to segregate the planned costs
6:Consideration should be made at security level to identify/restrict different users who needs to access specific cost centers
Yes,this is just a small jist of structure,there are 100's of other considerations which would come into picture from a business requirement level.

  • How do you Design and Develop?

    How do you Design and Develop?
    I know this varies based on alot of things such as knowledge, preference, purpose, resources, etc..but I am curious how different (level of expertise) designers actually prefer or implement their websites. I decided to do this post after two different forums discussions regarding 1.Templates and PHP and 2. Backend Development.
    1. How do you generally approach a project?--Wireframe, Freehand (as it comes), PSD template, etc.--Do you have a specific 'methodology' or procedure?
    2. What are 2-3 of your main resources / sites / applications etc that you use (and for what?)
    Specifically: What do you use (and how) to get up a website? (I know again this depends on a variety of things, but in general..) *also if you would like to comment on your expertise or level maybe helpful.
    Do you prefer (Pros/ Cons of:) What advice would you give regarding below?
    Your own HTML/CSS/Script based site that you mostly (if not completley) built. (More control and original, but harder / tedious for beginner)
    HTML Temlplate (tweak the HTML and CSS)--non framework type (Quick and easy, but usually poor quality, outdated?)--but some can servde as good starting point.
    Wordpress (And others like Drupal, Joomla) (Somewhat quick and easy access to tweak a quality WP Theme with ability for alot of features--forms, search, databases, etc (otherwise might have trouble with advanced features w/o good working knowledge og PHP and MYSQL, maybe others?)--but kind of a 'workaround' for real HTML design?
    Frameworks types like Foundation, Bootstrap, Skeleton
    A combination or hybrid of methods? -- or another method I have overlooked?
    Thanks very much for any insight you can offer, hopeully this will lead to a vibrant discussion.-

    The websites I build are 95% PHP/MySQL. They are heavy on business logic. I sometimes work with designers, SEO "experts" and (rarely) other coders. I almost never work on the content of websites. The clients do that themselves through the CMS I build for them.
    I write every line of code myself except for the use of jQuery and a few PHP code classes adapted from others. I can build a complex website in a matter of minutes by reusing the code libraries and patterns I have developed from previous projects.
    I don't use a PHP framework because I have developed my own "pseudo-framework" for the particular kinds of sites I build, but I respect the frameworks that are out there. They can teach you excellent coding habits.
    In starting the design and logic of a site, the most essential question is: What is the website (or website project) supposed to accomplish? My clients tell me what they want to accomplish, but I usually decide how to get there. This holds for both business logic and design, because design also must serve the business objectives.
    My website projects generally take four months to two years to complete. The client usually dedicates one employee to work as a liaison between me and the rest of the company. Because the sites I build are heavy on the business logic, a great deal of time is spent on testing and debugging. I make testing the responsibility of the client so I can't be held liable if, for instance, a terrible accounting mistake is discovered in the code logic.
    I like to use Adobe Illustrator for design development because I became an Adobe Illustrator ACE in 2000; however, I can see that Fireworks is probably the better tool. Photoshop is an important secondary tool.
    For general site management and code writing I use both Dreamweaver and ZEND Studio; however, I use Dreamweaver less and less.
    I now require all my clients to have their websites (and also domain name registrations, since my company is a domain name reseller) hosted on my VPS server. This prevents anyone from stealing code I have worked for years to develop and also establishes a commitment between myself and the client. When you are starting a web development business, you can't demand this kind of commitment from the client. Even a lot of great seasoned developers can't. It depends on your reputation within the specific industry(ies) you service.

  • PM Order Confirmation create actual posting in Cost Center, with CE type 43

    Dear Expert,
    I would like to know the business flow of Plant Maintenance that impacts cost center reporting.
    During PM order confirmation, it will create an actual posting in Cost Center from Cost Center Reporting (No FI posting), say CC Operation, with Cost Element type: 43, which is attached with the activity type of Labor Cost assigned the the PM module.
    Example: Cost Center: CC Operation, Cost Element: 840001 (CE type: 43), Amount: USD 100- (negative sign)
    My Question:
    How does this posting (currently is in controlling only) in cost center Operation with Cost Element type: 43 be reflected in my FI reporting?
    Let say there is an FI posting of labor cost in CC Operation, amount USD 100, then from Cost Center Reporting, it actually offset both amounts, and this cost center become 0 in amount.
    Kindly advise the concept of Plant Maintenance.
    This seems like same with the concept of KB21N.
    Thanks.

    Hi Karthikeyan,
    My issue and concern is similar to the issue raised as follows:
    Secondary Cost Element Configuration for Plant Maintenance Order
    http://scn.sap.com/thread/3488730
    In this forum, it says that the posting in CO, during PM order confirmation is ...
    +10 for Order and -10 for cost center A
    After PM Order settlement:
    -10 for Order and +10 for cost center A
    From the cost center and PM Order CO report, they are 0 in value ...
    Is this the correct way?
    Thanks,
    -Chin

  • About ODMr for product design and development.

    how ODMr can be used to find patterns of desingers' behaviors when they create new design for a product?
    In general, designers tend to change their design to satisfy needs required by customers or technicians.
    Is ODMr able to find which design parameters are most contributive to the performance of a product?
    Is it ok to use Decision Tree if I have hypothesis space for desing parameters and training data?
    I want to use ODMr to improve R&D process.
    But I'm sure it is a smart way to use ODMr for product design and development.
    If anyone has good idea or other algorithm available for that field, please let me know~~
    Have fun~!

    I would think if you are going to run both of those programs at the same time, or even one at a time, a system with discrete graphic would be a better fit for you.
    The next question is if you are doing web design do you really need a retina display. At this time only apple has them so everyother computer viewing your web designs wouldn't see the difference, if there is any to begin with.

  • Should I learn database design and development skills?

    Hi everyone,
    I am a junior Oracle with 3 years experience. I have got Oracle 10g and 11g OCP certifications.
    I know how to install, configure,monitor and maintain databases, but I don't know hot to design and develop databases.
    I know that employers demand of us more and more. Database design and development skills are the basic requirements.
    Should I start to learn database design courses?
    If yes, please recommend me the books(or Oracle Docs) of Getting Started.
    Thank you very much

    Google "data normalization" and study up on 1st, 2d, and 3d Normal Form.
    Go through the Oracle docs and get very familiar with the different data type (varchar, number, date, etc)
    Read the Tom Kyte Books.
    Programmers keep wanting to re-invent what the database already does, and treat the database as a data dump. As a result, I'd focus on analysis and design issues before approaching books on programming technology. (and I was an applications programmer/analyst for about 15 years before transitioning to DBA)

  • Restricting issue of goods to cost center with respect to material type

    Dear Users,
    I have a requirement like we want to restrict issue of goods to cost center with respect to material type i.e., we want to issue goods to cost center only through reservation and that too only for specific material types. Is there any standard solution for this, please provide your suggestions.
    Thanks,

    Hi Ajay,
    Thanks for valuable input.
    I also thought in the same line , but user has the following concern on this:
    Assessment Cycle: As per Users, it cannot be used because this will allocate based on allocation basis. But they need, the values that was posted at the time of transaction and as per materials. So it wont be accurate through Assessment cycle,
    OKB9: They have different Cost center for different valuation area for the same GL Account.
    Hence through OKB9 also, we cannot post directly to COPA.
    That's the reason the above option were not adopted.
    My other concern to this is:
    In CKM3, we have two lines under consumption, one for Normal sales PGI and other is Cost Center.
    After doing revaluation of consumption in CKMLCP, we see one line under Cost Center :Revaluation of Consumption Figure"
    My question, where can I see that figure whether in any table or in Cost Center report??
    If that is also available we can try to match those values and post to COPA.
    Let me know your thought on this.
    Thanks and regards

  • Link between plan position and master cost center

    hi guys,
    i have the plan position number and i don't know how to determine the master cost center.
    do you now the infotype/table that has the link between the two?
    regards,
    emilia

    hi,
    thanks for the function.
    i know that when a position plan is created it is assign to an org. unit and thus it will inherit its master cost center.
    the problem is that more often than not the master cost center of the position plan is changed manually and so it will not match the one of the org unit.
    this is indeed an intricate issue

  • Web Design and Developer Online Training Library

    HI There,
    I purchased CS4 Design premium back in September with the hope of learning all of the software and specifically to design websites through online tutorials and or books.  I've done many of the training videos at lynda.com, and although they are great, I feel I need more structure.
    That being said, I've been looking into online courses on web design, and most of the decent ones I've found are in the $5000-$7000 range, and although I'm willing, I'd rather not spend that much money if I can help it.
    Has anyone tried the Web Design and Developer Online training Library offered through Adobe.com? 
    Has anyone taken any (relatively inexpensive) worthwhile courses?
    Right now I have a mish-mash set of skills with dreamweaver photoshop and illustrator.  I can build websites but 90% of my time is spent on trial and error.  I want to have a firm understanding of the programs.
    Any tips would be greatly appreciated
    thanks very much
