SD billing: posting to FI is executed, although cost element is missing

When posting an invoice in SD, the posting to FI is executed without an error, although the G/L account retrieved through account determination (in this case revenue account) has no cost element assigned.
Besides the FI document, also COPA and profit center document are created.
The cost center document is not created.
Why is there no error message in the first place because of the missing cost element ?
How can I ensure through customizing, that an error message is being displayed, if the G/L account has no cost element assigned ?
Bet regards
Edeltraut

In tcode OPUC check cost element field as required.

FI posting performed for profit segment without cost element

Dear Gurus,
We have accounts defined as balance sheet account. There are no cost elements created for that account.
Anyway we can perform postings for cost object profit segment.
Why we 're still able to post for profit segment if there are no cost elements created?
With best regards,
Kamila.

Hi,
To be able to post entries to Profitability segment, the GL accounts should also be a Cost element in CO of category 1, 11 and 12.
Balance sheet accounts cannot be created as cost element exception is Material and asset accounts with Cost element category 90, though they cant be posted to Profitability segments.
COPA is only meant with expenses and revenue analysis. Hence not possible.
Thanks,
Ravi Kumar

Credit memo on billing posted to accounting

Hi...
If I wanted created a credit memo on billing that already posted to accounting, do I need to cancel the billing first? This billing posted to acct on the previous closed fiscal year.

Henery

Hi Henery
It is not required to cancel the Biling document even if it is done in the previous period.
But, you have to see whether your organisation follows Release procedure(approval step) or not.
If your organisation does not follow release procedure then you can create the Credit memo directly refering the Billing document.
But if your organisation follows Release procedure then, first you have to create a Credit memo request (Credit memo request can be created with ref to Sales order, Billing doc or even without ant ref).
From this Credit memo request you can create a Credit memo.

Billing posting for intercompany delivery process

Hi all
we configured a new process for intercompany billing to use a standard PO for delivery between a warehouse and a store both in different co codes. Process is based on vendor and customer defined in retail sites both WH and store. Eg. WH site code D002 with assigned vendor D002 and customer D002. Similar for receiving store RA01, vendor and customer RA01.
Financial entries for delivery and billing posting are done between thses AP/AR accounts. As we have several warehouses and lots of stores will become difficult for finance to reconcile it.
Request is to have one generic customer assigned to all warehouses and one generic vendor assigned to all stores, this reducing (in FI view only).
my questions:
1. is any way to configure in FI or Billing for a several customers with different codes FI entry to be posted to one AR account only in issuing company and similar for several vendor accounts during MIRO FI entry to be posted in one AP acount only?
2. On standard intecompany delivery, since we use only one document in both companies (PO) what is the way to do a reconciliation betwen PO issued and booked at receiving site. Like transaction codes eyc.
Thank you in advance for help

Hi,
My suggestion would be to go with the DIP Profile with the material determination.
In your case it would be the travel expenses.
Create a WBS elemenent where these services are being used and make it as billing element.
Assign a sales order with this this material and assign this DIP Profile in Sales Tab-B.
DP81, ODP1 are the Tcodes you can look for..
Reward points if found useful.
Thanks..

Hi All,
I need your help regarding configuration of workflow for FICO bill posting and payment release transaction. Can any one guide me in this process. In my scenario, the client has a billing department, which receives bill from various vendors and other departments. Once they receive the bill, they check it and post it. After bill posting bill needs to be approved by various levels depending upon value.
<= 10000 Approval by HOD
>=10001 and <= 100000 Approval by HOD and Finance Head
>=100001 Approval by CEO.
I have worked thoroughly on PO & PR workflow in MM module, but i don't have idea about FICO module. Can anybody guide me what all steps are involved in workflow configuration of above FICO process.
Thanks & Regards

How to populate the sales order as a cost object in cost element posting

When posting sales to a cost element the error comes up stating Account ******** requires an assignment to a CO object.
This comes from the sales (repair) order and I would like to pass the sales order and line as a cost object.
Could someone please tell me where I would make the configuration to pass that into the accounting document?
Thank you,
Sergiy

Snavaneetha,
unfortunatelly I don't have access to any CO consultants that could help me on this one. We are a small company so I am an unofficial CO consultant for time being
Anyway, maybe I should post this one on the CO forum as well.
I looked at the material master and I don't see the field for the GL account or cost element anywhere like you said. I do see the account assignment group and that's where my account determination procedure determines the right one to use, and it is trying to post to the account I need it to post but I get the above error, for some reason the sales order that I am billing for does not get passed at a cost object to this cost element account during billing.

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?
Kind Regards

Costs posted through FB01 to General Cost Element in TECO Status

A general cost element whose system status was changed to TECO on 10/16/2009 has had costs posted from our Travel System in PR1 and also tested posting from FB01 to the same general cost element in a test client sucessfully. Costs were posted on 12/5/2009 (PR1) and 12/10/2009 (test system). This seems inconsistent with the logic that PS typically follows, that TECO does not allow cost postings. The environment is ECC6 with Enhancement pack 4.
Edited by: Rebecca Poling on Jan 11, 2010 11:11 PM

Only system status CLSD (Closed) and account assignment locked don't allow actual post against WBS
Here's the explanation on TECO status from SAP Help
You use this status for WBS elements that are completed from a technical point of view, but where you still expect costs to accrue.

Delete Cost Element after Plan data posted

A user created Cost Elements in error and posted fiscal 2010 Plan data, however the business users wish to track these particular accounts by profit center, not by cost center. We'd like to delete the cost elements so users will not be prompted for cost center when posting to these accounts.
But even after reversing the plan data, we are not permitted to delete these cost elements with KA04, - hard error cites records existing in Table COSP.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Yes, you can't shorten the validity to exclude the posting data from the system, even though you made the balance zero by posting off-setting entries to that particular cost element.
Yes, shortening the validity works the same way as deletion.
Hope this helps.

Delete Cost Element which has a posting

Hi,
How do I delete a cost element which already has a posting in it?
Thanks,
Teo

HI Eli Klovski,
Your solution is:
The cost element should not be deleted after actual/planning data is put on it. You can prevent further posting on it in various ways, but you won't be able to delete it.
Can you tell me how to prevent further posting to cost element but it should be posted in FI
Suggest me please.

Posting for secondary cost element

Hi All,
After running KSU5 (cost centre settlement, we have small balance in secondary balance. Could you please advise how we can post entries between secondary cost element.
Regards
Deepak

KSU5 is used for cost center assessments (settlements are a type of allocation for internal order/WBS elements/networks/etc). Once you define the rules for the allocation, SAP will follow those rules and post the appropriate entries. You cannot post manually/directly to secondary cost elements. SAP cannot get "out of balance" during an allocation. When you say "small blance in secondary balance", I am not sure what you mean. Are you saying there is a financial balance remaining in the Sender cost center? More info is need to properly address the issue.

Unplanned Delivery Costs Post to a different GL Account Cost Center err

Hi,
We added GL account in config (OBYC >> UPF Transaction key ) such that 'Unplanned Delivery Costs' entered during invoice entry in MIRO will be posted a different GL account. We also changed in config from 'Distribute among invoice items' to 'Different GL Line'.
When we try to post Invoice and add amount in 'Unplanned delivery costs' field in MIRO, system is giving error to enter 'Cost Center' since GL account characteristics is such that Cost center is mandatory. The Cost Center field at item level in MIRO is disabled. Remember, we want to process this for INVENTORY items only, meaning items that go to stock and later issued, and not for POs created with 'Cost center' as Account assignment. We can create another GL and no cost element and assign that GL Account in OBYC for UPF Transaction key, but the client's requirement is to create 'Cost Accounting Doc' too when invoice is posted, along with Accounting and profit center docs.
How do we fix above error ?
