Use of PS-Module: Cost object discussion

Hello,
i have a question regarding the use of PS-Module.
I would like to know if in your company you experienced any problem (in controlling or somewhere else) when posting to a variety of different cost objects. For example: wbs-element, sales order, internal order and network.
SAP is offering a lot of possibilities how to customize a system. That means i could run similar processes with different assignment to cost objects. I would like to know how you think about that topic and what experience you made.

Hi,
As you rightly said the SAP is providing different different cost objects to be posted.
based on the company requirement we have to choose the process.

  • Network as Statstical cost object

    Hi
    I think you cannot use Network as Statstical cost object like WBS Elements, because you can allot the budget only WBS level. for Network order you will not able allot any budegts in STD SAP.

  • Cost element report with cost object name column

    Hi,
    i'm looking for a report similar to S_ALR_87013601: Cost Elements: Breakdown by Object Type, but including a column with the cost object name. Does anyone know if such a report exists? If it doesn't exist, how can i create a report like this?
    Some of my company costs are assigned to cost centers and some of them are assigned to wbs elements. We would like a report where we could have all the information together.
    Thank you very much

    Hi Xavi ,
    Some of my company costs are assigned to cost centers and some of them are assigned to wbs elements. We would like a report where we could have all the information together.=>
    There is not standard report available..  which will display total cost per company code.. i,e cost booked on cost centers, internal order and WBS elements ... This is becuse each modules store data in seperate tables.
    You have to create a ABAP report to serve your pourpose. You have to collate all the costs booked in a company code for cost centers, IO and WBS elements . Pick up real costs only as per company code..
    We are using such custom report and its working fine.

  • Assign Cost Object to Bal. Sheet Account???

    Hi experts;
         I found at my customer site that they set the fields of WBS element, Cost Center, Profit Center and Network are applicable with Bal. Sheet accounts at the time of Document entry like F-02.
         When I discussed with them that the B/S accounts should not be linked to any cost object and cost objects are only for the P/L accounts they said yes that is right in general, but they do that with some certain accounts like the Accrued Revenue to know exactly how much is expected to be collected from each project.
         But also as far I know that through the Document Split function on system I can get such result because if we assigned a Cost Obj. to a P/L account the system assign it to the other line of the document entry if it is B/L account, but I did not practice the Doc. Split before.
         So can someone kindly advice wither such process is correct or not? and if not, does it has any wrong impact if they insisted to do it? And does the Doc. Split can really help in such matter?
    Many thanks in advance;
    Best regards;

    Hi Ahmad Mahmud,
    The below is taken from SAP Note 75978 - Cost element type 90
    "Cost elements of category 90 were introduced with 3.0 to enable an availability control on an internal order assigned to a fixed asset even with directly activated asset acquisitions. This functionality is guaranteed by SAP and will be enhanced by the planning of these cost elements in Release 4.0.
    The check, however, that cost elements of category 90 can only be created for asset reconciliation accounts, has only been made since Release 3.0F. Before, it was possible to create any balance sheet accounts as cost element of category 90. Since cost elements created this way were not covered by functionality provided by SAP, various errors may occur when you post to these cost elements."
    As you can see SAP does not support cost element type 90.
    However I used them on e few projects and never have any problems.
    Just to give you an example of the reasons they are sometimes needed:
    - you need to record production quantity in CO-PA. You will create cost element type 90 for your inventory account. Every GR from production order will update quantity in CO-PA.
    The question about splitting is quite ineteresting.
    Maybe one of the NewGL experts can help you here.

    Dear Friends,
    We are facing an issue in every monthend while doing FI and COPA reconciliation that some balances are left in cost objects. Can any one please suggest any single report if any which will show balances in all cost objects instead of individual reports for cost object. Also suggest tables to be used , Pro and cons of devoloping Z report for this requirement.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Movement 543 F always take sales order as cost object

    Dear sap expert,
    I run MTO scenario.
    In one of my step before a product become finish good, the semi finish good need to sent to subcon vendor (the material need another process outside company production line).
    The good issue journal is happen when we good receipt finish good from vendor.(FI team make it that way).
    When posting good issue, MM use movement type 543 F.
    The GL number for issuing material is 300196.
    The problem is , movement type 543 F always take sales order as cost object even though I already delete the sales order when good issue to subcon vendor using tcode MIGO (good issue to vendor).
    And I already settiing PA tranf structure of the GL account to a value field and also already setting OKB9 so the GL can automatically post to profi segment (COPA).
    MM team also already set default setting  layout 543 F for sales order as SUPPRESS.
    But, still when run MIGO, the system still take sales order as cost object not to COPA (profit segment).
    But, if i use 543 E with same dafault setting layout as 543 F, it works (the GL is post to COPA not sales order).
    How can this happen?
    What should I do to make the GL post to COPA not sales order when using movement type 543 F?
    Please kindly help.

    Hi Anu
    If you are in MTO scenario and your sales order is defined as a cost object, then the system behaviour is correct..
    Check if the following settings apply in your case...
    1. Go to sale order, procurement tab
    2. Check whats the req type
    3. Go to OVZH and check whats the req class assigned to this req type
    4. Go to OVZG and check whats the acount assignment cateory in req class
    5. The account assignment catg would be having consumption posting field as E

  • Cost Object in FI document with WBS Settlement

    Hi,
    I'm testing WBS settlement to G/L account which is cost element. I made some substitution rules because I met an error message saying that "Cost Object is needed"
    As a result I can settle WBS to cost elements such as COGS etc. I got a FI document, CO document and PCA document. Everything looked so nice.
    Suddenly I noticed, however, that there is no such a thing like cost object on FI document. When I look up the FI document using FB03, I found that the PS-POSID was empty. Of course, CO documents have Cost Object.
    What I wonder is as follows
    1. Is this standard? Is it natural that FI document with CO doc has no cost object on it?
    2. If I need to use FI document to determine WBS element, what is the best to way? Is it possible to enter Cost Object such as wbs element in FI document during settlement?
    Thank you for your kind advice in advance.

    Kang,
    In the message which you got, the word 'Cost Object' refered to a cost center, or order, or any other cost object.
    However, there is another account assignment object with the name 'Cost Object', which was not filled in the FI document. That is normal.
    Right now I don't have much information in the a/c assignment object 'Cost Object'.

    Vishal.

  • MTO Sales order is NOT a COST OBJECT

    Hi All,
    I'm working on MTO process and i have some question.i would like to clarify MTO process.
    If we are using Valuated MTO process and Sales order is NOT a COST OBJECT
    1.Are we going to run material cost estimate for MTO materials?
    2.How can i configure or make Sales order is NOT a Cost Object?
    3.If Saleso order is not a cost object,how production order process will work from controlling point of you?are we going calculate WIP on production order and WIP is settled to sales order or FI/PCA?
    4.Once production order is complete,Goods Receipt will post to Inventory or Sales order stock?
    5.Once production order is complete,we are going to calculate variance on production orders?
    Any help is appreciated...
    Thanks,
    Anusha

    Hi,
    When the MTO is created from sales end it will create the Planned order then it will convert to Production or Process order.
    Once the production do GR or confirm Produced QTY the stock will go to Sales stock not to inventory stock.From there the sales can do PGI to customer.once PGI has done the account entry for the customer account will take place automatically.
    Once the production completed the Production order need to calculate for the variance & the Settlement need to be done for the production order against the Material which you produced & sale to customer.The difference & variane amount will post to Price difference & moved to Product cost of the material automatically & COPA entry will be done automatically.
    The MTO Material need to run for the Cost estimate also.
    The WIP can be calculated & difference can be posted against the production order & the material which you produce.
    The Process is same as the Make TO Stock scenario.Only the difference is the Production will get generate automatically when the MTO order get created & the stock will post to sales stock automatically.Rest the CO part is same as MTS scenario.

  • How to add attributes in Cost Objects via Data Bridge?

    Hi everyone,
    I need your help. I want to know if is possible to add attributes via Data Bridge in Cost Objects tables like the country or address of a customer?
    Thanks for all.
    Sincerely,
    Pedro Sousa

    Hi,
    Jef is right you need to use the different values in the "Attribute Flag" field for creating attribute hierarchy using data bridge.
    For attribute Hierarchy you need to use option 12 & 15 depending on your requirement.
    12  - Attribute Assignment  - Used for assigning attribute to a member of the main hierarchy
    15  - Attribute Hierarchy only - used for creating hierarchy within attribute hierarchy.
    As mentioned by Jef for details you can refer the Data bridge user guide section 4.3.
    Regards,
    Niraj

  • Cost Element Report for all cost objects

    Hello,
    Is there any standard SAP report where it can list down all cost elements, and their line item/total postings done to various CO Objects in one shot.
    We have CE/CCTR, CE/IO, etc, but if we can have one report which can list all cost elements and postings done via it to different cost objects - cost centers, internal orders, WBS, etc, might be very handy to us.
    Thanks
    Balla

    Hi Balla,
    Please use S_SL0_21000007 for your requirement.
    It gives cost element postings to different cost objects.
