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.
Regards,
Zaid

  • Post to internal order and cost center

    we want system show error message if user post to expense account 5****** with cost center and internal order together, i.e.
    we can only post to cost center or internal order, but can't be both, can it be done by co validation? or do we use user exit to do it? which user exit? thanks

  • Statistical posting to Internal order and Cost center while real to PSG

    Dear SAP Gurus,
    There is a requirement is to post statistical posting to Cost center and IO while real posting to PA. I tested and found that I can have only either of Cost center or IO as statistical receiver. Is this standard behaviour or some error in set up.
    Thanks,

    Hi
    I am not sure how IS-H works.. But for sure, it should allow you to enter 3 stat objects...
    There would be some ABAP trick pertaining to IS-H which I am not aware of...
    I can guide you a bit...  During SD billing, ask abaper to put a break point and manually enter the values for cost center and IO and then post the doc.... One of these 2 will be the outcomes
    a. Either it will get posted or
    b. It will get over written before posting....
    based on the outcome, you will have to decide your next course of action
    Also, if your cost center to IO is one to one mapping (Chances would be rare), you can simply write a substitution which would always prevail
    I am sorry I could not offer you a complete solution.. But, this is what comes to my mind...

  • *Internal Order* or *Cost Center* on SD Sales Order

    Hi Gurus,
    please can you tell me how we can set automatically Internal Order or Cost Center on SD Sales Order (without putting it manually).
    Thank you very much
    Kind Regards
    Andrea

    Hi Andrea,
    As Ambrusa told, one Z table should be created where you can maintain order reasons, sales org, sales order type and the internal order no. as combination and use the below mentioned user exit.
    When user create sales order, system will default the order reasons maintained in the z table and internal order no. will be picked as user select the order reason.
    Hope this will meet your requirement.

  • BAPI KPF6 POST PLAN COST FOR INTERNAL ORDER AND COST ELEMENT

    Hi all gurus,
    I would like to use in a custom report a BAPI/Function Module that help me to simulate KPF6 in order to post planning costs for internal order and cost element (layout 1-401).
    So the input should be:
    1) Version
    2) period from
    3) periodo to
    4) year
    5) internal order n.
    6) cost element n.
    7) value
    I found a lot of BAPI but don't know the correct one and how to use it (example how to fill the input value).
    Can anyone help me on that?
    Kind Regards

    In additio  to the previous I found the BAPI_COSTACTPLN_POSTPRIMCOST but don't know if it's the correct one and how to use it (some example fitting the my case will be very appreciated).
    If the quoted BAPI is correct.
    I tested it filling all fields as following:
    HEADERINFO:
    CO_AREA=FFCA
    FISC_YEAR=2008
    PERIOD_FROM=001
    PERIOD_TO=012
    DOC_HDR_TX='blank'
    INDEXSTRUCTURE:
    OBJECT_INDEX=000001
    VALUE_INDEX=000004 (hope this point at Interna Order)
    ATTRIB_INDEX=000000
    COOBJECT:
    OBJECT_INDEX=000001
    ORDERID=ZO53-08IMZ
    TOTVALUE:
    VALUE_INDEX=000004
    COST_ELEM=3224048
    FIX_VALUE= 200,0000
    DIST_KEY_FIX_VAL=2
    The Return table is set to 0. Nothing happens.....I suspect something related to indexstructure or index is wrong..
    Could anyone help me on that?

  • Asset Postings on Internal Order or Cost Center

    Hello All,
    I created the Asset B/S Recon A/C as Cost Element 90 to have postings on cost Objects.
    In ACSET - I customized both IO and CC to have APC postings and Depreciation postings.
    But when I post an acquisition, Iam not seeing either an IO or CC in the Document.
    Am I missing some thing.
    Thanks.

    Hi Venkat,
    Make the fields Cost center and CO/PP Order as optional in field status group that you will assign in GL Master Record.
    I think for reconciliation account, we generally assign G067 field status group.  Go to T'code OBCD and double click on G067 - Reconciliation accounts - Additional account assignments and make those fields optional.

  • Internal oder and Cost Center

    Hi,
    i need to know , how many internal oder is in a center ? Please advise if you can pull list of internal oder which assigned to cost center>
    thanks a bunch
    peace

    Hi,
    In the Master Data of a Cost Center you can assign a Profit Center or a Business Area. In Internal Order Master Data you can assign a Profit Center or a Responsible Cost Center.
    Can you please elaborate on your requirements?
    If you looking for a Master Data report you can look at the following reports:
      KS13: Cost Center Master Data Report.
      KOK5: Internal Order Master Data Report.
    Thanks

  • Internal orders/networks and Cost center

    is it correct to say, all internal orders and process orders will roll into a cost center at the end.
    Sri

    Hello Ganga,
    You can settle the costs collected on an internal order to one cost center, one G/L account, or one business process using one settlement cost element.
    Hene, it is not necessary that all internal orders will roll in to a cost centre at the end.

  • COGS and cost center (by order reason)

    hi,
    i am confuse of COGS and cost center which assign by order reason
    below is my scenario, free sample order will be created for both outside customer and internal department. if free sample order for outside customer, COGS will have after PGI, but internal department using this sample, order reason to assign cost center will be used. DN also require to create.
    Then my question is any COGS of  sample order for internal department will be created? whats accouting impact. pls advice
    thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks for the quick replies. Our requirement is to post costs to a cost center  for some order reasons. (like free samples to cost centers). It is not for preventing costs.
    I think the setting in OVF3 may work. I am testing in sandbox client and update if sucessful.
    Thanks

  • What is the impact of business area and cost center in the sales document

    Hi all
    I have small doubt regarding what is the impact of bussiness area and cost center in the sales document... what is the uses of these (bussiness area, cost center) is help full for sd module
    can any one reply plz....
    Thanking you

    Hi,
    Business Area determines where the revenue should be allocated when you sell a material or a service.
    For eg: If your customer is in say Mumbai and he is ordering for a service in Delhi (say DIAL - Delhi International Airport Limited) then based on the terminology.
    Your customer would belong to B Basis Business Area - WHERE THE REVENUE IS COMING FROM or WHERE YOUR CUSTOMER BELONGS TO (SALES OFFICE).
    Whereas your DIAL sales will belong to A Basis Business Area - WHERE THE REVENUE IS GOING TO.
    Cost Center would determine where your allocate your cost to.
    Say Rounding Off can be used as a cost element, because some sort of revenue is lost when figures are roudned off..
    Hope it clarifies your doubt.
    Reward points if satisfactory

  • SD order with cost center on header still creates CO-PA document in VF02

    Hi guys,
    we have 2 cases in SD, where we want not postings in CO-PA (for samples to customers):
    1. on SD order item level with internal order account assignment
    2. on SD header level with a proper order reason which allows cost center assignment on headers (OVF3)
    1. is working
    2. is not working
    here the details:
    1. order with e.g. 2 items created, one has a special item category with internl order account assignment. Goods delivery is posting with MM account determination VAY (so with cost element) and goods issue is correct on internal order.
    This item is not creating a CO-PA document, which is correct and wanted.
    2. special order type in SD for samples, where a order reason allows cost center assignment on header level (cost centers on SD item level is not possible obviously). Both cases use the same billing type, and same item category. In cost center case, also goods issue is posted correctly with VAY cost element to cost center of SD order, but:
    creates a CO-PA document without values, but  qty, which is not wanted.
    I could reset the qty with a special billing type in KE4W, but I still want to make sure somehow, that never a CO-PA document is created and I also would like to understand, why those 2 cases behave differently.
    Any idea? Please no proposal with user-exit - in this case I would own billing type prefer.

    Bjoern
    keywords to find this thread later:
    KE4M, co-pa, sd order integration, cost center posting from SD, item category

    Hi
    I would prefer KE4W as the solution... I had a similar situation earlier where in I used exit COPA0005 because I had no other choice... But because you are managing with separate bill type, KE4W is the option

    Hi Kiran,
    The error message clearly says that "Cost Center validity starts from 01.10.2014" i.e. in the future period.
    Change the cost center from period in the past date and try.
