Account assignment as a IO or Cost Center

Hi All Experts,
we are implementing for Constrcution company (Real Estate ) client. We have scenario where client gets the contract of constructing any project and after completetion hand over to client.
For booking any expenses for procurement of material what could be the better option to use as a Account Assignment ?
Internal Order or Cost Center ?
CASE - 1
I am trying in my test system for internal oder where after completion of we will lock the IO and that can not be used future wrongly.
When I am trying through KO02 - Edit - LOCK - SAVE. And same using in FB60 it is giving me short dump instead of any error
CASE - 2
I have created Cost Center with some 2 years expired definite time frame, since I am using that CC in FB60 it is also not giving me any error that time frame has expired so can not used !
Both of the account assignment not working perfectly to my scenario.
Can any expert guide me how to achieve this requirement ?
Note :- We are not using PS in our project.

Sharvari Joshi.

Hi Aleksey,
I am doing the same in my system, I am using the LOCKED IO for posting in FB60 as a account assignment I am getting below dump.
Is it becasue of WRONG configuration ? Or SAP's standard system behaviour

G/L account population on the basis of Cost center in PO

Hello All
Just have a query regarding defaulting the G/L account in account assigned PO.
is it possible while creating a account assigned PO(suppose K) that system will take the G/L account value automatically as soon as we enter the cost center.
in simple words controlling the G/L account on the basis of cost center.
regards
Yogesh

Dear Yogesh,
You will have to implement a proper BAdi/Enhancement to achieve this. You would need to write the logic such that G/L Account if fetched based on Cost Center at runtime.
I am not sure if it can applied here but you can try with search help as well. In few screens if you select one field data other fields data would also get populated with the search help.
Hope this will help.

Multiple account assignment for distribution of freight cost in MIRO Transaction

Hi MM Gurus
I have created one Purchase order with multiple account assignment for Asset 'A' in which freight cost is added.
I have done good receipt in which only material document is generated. (No financial document generated).
While doing the MIRO for the same Purchase order I m not able to view delivery cost for the same.
I check this thing in SDN but no concrete solution ..
My question is how to capture delivery cost in Multiple account assignment Purchase roder
Regards
Amit

Hi,
You have done goods receipt for Asset PO but no accounting document created. Now cross check in t.code:OME9 and find GR Non-Valuated check box selected which cause your concern on why your accounting document created for goods receipt for Asset PO!
Check how delivery cost designed for your Asset Purchase, may be in your case - delivery cost added to your asset purchase- which result, you could not find delivery cost in invoice posting!

Where to assign GL Account to cost center?

Hello Friends,
Actually in MIGO T.C , I am issuing the material against the cost center.Now in MIGO T.C , in Account Assignment tab i give the cost center and other requied data and save.And in display mode when i check that document than by default system takes the GL Account.Now my question is where we assign the G/L Account to cost center?In FS00 T.C i checked in Edit cost element for that account, there in Default account assignment , no cost center is maintained.So from where system is picking this G/L Account?
Thanks and Regards,
Jitendra Dilip Chauhan

Hi Jitendra,
This setting is made in OBYC. This actually MM & FI integration.
You check this in OBYC.
1.First check your valuation class in material master.
2.Then goto OBYC.
3. Double click on GBB transaction key
4.This will pop up chart of account.Maintain chart of account & enter.
5.Here you will see that GL account for combination of Genral modification VBR & Valuation class.
VBR: for internal goods issues (for example, for cost center)
That means whenever you do Goods issue of material for cost center which having same valuation class,this GL account will be automatically assigned.
Hope this clear you.
Regards,
Raja.

Getting PO account assignment on both sides of the GR/IR accounting doc.

When the GR/IR accounting document is created in our system for a PO item that is account assigned to an order, network or cost centre, the following occurs. On the Goods Receipt, the GR/IR account does not capture the cost assignment on the GR/IR posting. On the Invoice Receipt, the GR/IR account posting does include the cost assignment on the GR/IR posting.
For Example:
MIGO posting generates this accounting entry
Debit Expense account, Order 12xxxxxx          $100
Credit GR/IR account                                          $100     (no order on GR/IR line)
MIRO
Credit Vendor                                                    $100
Debit GR/IR account, Order 12xxxxxx              $100 (order is posted with GR/IR line)
Although the GR/IR account is a balance sheet account, is it useful, for a reporting task, to have the cost assignment included in the financial posting for both GRu2019s and IRs, but it only appears on the IR side.
Is this something that can be solved by MM configuration?
Comparing posting keys 86 (IR) with posting key 96 (GR) u2013 the cost objects we used are set as optional for both those keys, so it doesnu2019t appear to be posting key configuration.
Note: When the PO item is assigned to a material (GR to inventory) the material appears on both sides of the GR/IR postings in Accounting, which is what we want for items account assigned to orders, networks, and cost center too.
Thank you. Alvin.

Thanks, but we still get the account assignment posted to GRIR during MIRO (as shown in Alvin's original post) so the full explanation cannot be the fact that GRIR is a balance account.
Essentially, we would like GR and IR-events to pass the same account assignment string to GR/IR, except posting key.
Thanks for helping.

At present system is determining only one cost center for all services mapped.
Thanks advance for the help.

Create Purchase Order to cost center

Hi,
Will it be possible to create a purchase requisition from the MRP run which has account assignment K and default a cost center.
At the moment I need manually to update the requisition item line with 'k' and costcenter before converting to a purchase order.
br,
Anders

The purpose of MRP run is to make sure that you always have enough stock.
An order to cost center will not increase stock.
Means: MRP is not able to create requisitions for cost center consumption. If you change a requisition created by MRP to be ordered to a cost center, then the next MRP run will create a new requisition to stock.

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.

The systemtakes not the cost center from the asset you have to assign it in OKB9 or to fill in during this posting:
Steps
Click on Simulate, than you see the posting screen:

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

Problem with Unknown account assignment with limit order...reply soon...

Hello All,
i am facing problem in confirming the limit order with unknown account assinment.We are using Extended classic scenario with SRM version 5.00 and ECC 6.00. When creating shopping cart with unknown account assignments, shopping carts is getting created fine but when processing goods receipt the system only prompts for distribution by cost center and we do not have the option to selected processing against other account assignment e.g. internal order or network. the Cost center is coming as gray.What i am expecting that as in known account assignment it asks for a drop down and user can select cost center or order the same should happened with unknown account assignment. we have not implemented any badi for the same.
please help me out. Is this a standard behavior of shop with limit order for unknown account assignment where it prompts for cost center only or do i need to implement any badi.

Other related details ->
Use Screen variants (Transaction - SHD0) to change item overview and search result screens.
BADI - There is one BADI to hide/show some SC item creation links, there is one BADI to control screen details of PO, CTR... but not SC (and not external screens).
So, as usual, identify the template and change the HTML code in SE80.
To implement a more complex logic, like the default check box, change the ABAP code (usually in the PBO), if required.
Do let me know.

Assignment of Cost center to G/L account

Hi,
While Posting, I am getting the following error " G/L account requires an assignment to a CO object"
Where Do I assign the cost center to the G/L and why doesn't the system automatically pick the cost
center?
Regards,
Ally

First, if G/L account was created in FI, you can only create primary cost element in CO.
Secondary cost element can only be created if no account exists in FI.
Second, if you created the primary or secondary cost element in CO, you have to assign CO account assignment.
You can delete cost element in CO (KO04) if dependent objects found.
Third, when you create cost element in CO, documents would be also created in u2018Cost center accountingu2019 and u2018Profit center accountingu2019 when posing in FI. If no cost element exists in CO, no related documents would be created in CCA and PCA.
