Accounts - Cost Centers

Hello Experts,
Is there any standard SAP report or is there anyway i can get info on the relation between Accounts ( Cost Elements ) and Cost Centers like
Account - Cost Element -Cost Center.
I know that cost element only exists for P & L accounts, but then i am guessing that other accounts would not post to cost centers as those would be revenues or payables.
All answers would be duly rewarded with points.
Thanks,
Nandita

How about the mapping between P/L accounts and Cost Elements ??
Any idea about that ?
Thanks,
Nandita

Please help me in this.
Thanks

Hi ,
As per my understanding of this requirement try this thing if you have not already tried it.
Take Revenue and cost centers in Rows section of dimension layout through grid properties ,and do the specific member selection for these dimension in rows as per the requirement.

F4 search for GL accounts & cost centers doesn't work

Dear SRM Gurus,
I've gone through the many threads in this forum regarding the RFC set up for the GL account & CC search. We've created the RFC destination and defined the user as a dialog user for this type of search. During the creation of a SC, SRM does validate to make sure the account & cc being used are valid, but when clicking on the binocular to search, we get the error message that says "Error while communicating with backend system. Inform system admin." Has anyone seen this error or know what could be the cause of such error?
We're on SRM 4.0 using the classic scenario and the backend system is 4.6b. I checked our customizing and I do see this RFC destination is linked to the BE system.
Thanks for any input.
SN

Hi,
Please ensure you have performed all the steps as per the above note you mentioned. Especially this one
6. Create a user and an authorization in the backend
 In Transaction SU01, create a new user (on the 'Logon data' tab, you should select user type 'Dialog' or 'Service').
 Call Transaction PFCG for the role maintenance and create your own role.
 In the role, select the 'Authorizations' tab and and choose the button to change the authorization.
 Do not select ANY template on the dialog box.
 Choose 'Manual'; then enter authorization object S_RFC and confirm the entry.
 Expand the authorization object and choose the pencil symbol for the 'Name of RFC to be protected'. Enter RHF4 and save the entry. Choose the pencil symbol for the 'Type of RFC object to be protected', select the 'Function group' checkbox and save the change.
 Generate and save the authorizations. Then return to the role.
 On the 'User' tab, enter the user you have created and carry out a user comparison.
Then you can assign the (back-end) user to the RFC connection in the EBP Server.

Cost Centers and distribution rules

I need to allocate costs to profit centers and would like to have the costs be allocated first to the department cost center then distributed to product profit center by %.
Example: An invoice is first allocated to the sales department, then the distribution rule will allocate the cost between 4 product lines (33 % chemical A, 33 % chemical b, 17 % chemical c and 17 % chemical d).
How would I setup the profit centers, cost centers and distribution rule to accomplish the above task.
Thank you,
Wayne

Hi Fred,
I assume you using 8.81?
1. Administration - General Settings - Cost Accounting : Tick "Use Multidimensions" option
2. Financial - Cost Accounting - Dimensions : Tick "Dimension 1" and "Dimension 2".
Give proper description to each dimension, in your case maybe "Department" to Dimension 1 and "Product" to Dimension 2
3. Financial - Cost Accounting - Cost Centers : Create your intended cost centre, "Sales" cost centre with dimension "Department", "Chemical A" to "Chemical D" with dimension "Product"
4. Financial - Cost Accounting - Distribution Rules :
As for your intention to allocate the invoice to Sales Department, since you want to allocate it 100% to Sales Department, you don't need to create a distribution rules, since B1 will automatically create a distribution rule with 100% allocation for each cost centre you created.
As for your production cost allocation, create a distribution rule with your code "DR-P01" as an example, choose dimension "Product", set the Total with "100". In the detail section, choose each cost centre (Chemical A to D), enter respective value and click "Add" button.

Assign Account assignment category to multiple cost centers in SRM

Hi All,
We are Implementing SRM 5.5, Extended Classic Scenario for Goods and Services (Stock and Consumables).
I have 400 cost centers. How to assign G/L Accounts to multiple cost centers, in Define G/L Accounts for Account assignment category and Product category?.
I guess, By using BADI - BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT. If this is correct, Do we have to develop any ZTABLE for this. Or only BADI enough?.
Please anyone explain details.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks & Regards,
John.

Hi,
Cost Center is related with user. Setting is attributes in PPOMA_BBP.
G/L account is related with Product category and Account Assignment Category. Setting is in standard customizing table.
If standard customizing is not enough, you can use BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT BADI.

Validations for G/L accounts and Cost Centers!

Help!!!
I need to create bunch of validations:
Ex. If account is 12345 - then is can be posted to only cost center XXX, YYY, ZZZ, BBB...
If G/L account is 33333 - then it can be posted to cost centers AAA and BBB...
There are different rules for 137 accounts.
Here are the questions:
1. Is it all one validation and 137 steps or are these all different validations?
2. How can i limit one G/L to many cost centers? What is the formula? It doests let me post If account is 12345 then check cost Center XXX OR YYY OR ZZZ OR....
It lets me post "OR" only one time.
Do i need to create a Set for each validation from GS01? or is there any easier formula? - It is not the range of cost centers, they are just random!
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did exacly that!
I created a SET.
Then i went to validation and said preriqisites - account "XXX"
Check Cost center IN SET
Message - Error
I attached my validation to my company code and put it as Active in OB28
I even ran the program RGUGBR00 to activate all the sets and validations...
Now i test it and it is still posting to any cost center.
What did i miss?

Hi There, I have a simillar problem as above, however I would like a list of all G/L Accounts with profit centres and cost centres as well. Is this possible? Reason being that I have many unassigned cost centres and need to link them to profit centres.

Restricting Cost Centers to G/L Accounts

Dear SAp Gurus,
I need to restrict which cost centers to be use for a specific G/L account. Does anyone knows what are the steps to restrict Cost Centers to be use for a G/L account, A/P account, and A/R account?
Thank You for your help

Check T Code GS01 to create a Set - A Set is nothing but a group of values.
Go to GGB0 and then chose the area under which you want to create a validation.
Let me know your email address, and I can mail you a document regarding validations.

How to maintain (or change) cost centers and maintain account

Hi everyone.
I have a problem which seems to be hard to solve. I have some
purchases which should be distributed on quantity or percentage basis.
Although these purchases are bought on a regular basis their
distribution on cost centers differs from time to time. so, I want to
make these purchases with scheduling agreements and maintain their
cost centers distribution in goods receipt (migo). I know that these
kind of distributions in receipts can be made in service purchases but
with services it's not possible to make scheduling agreements.
any help will be highly appreciated. thanks in advance.

Hi Cemal,
Create PO with account assignment category K & in account assignment tab select distribution on quantity basis or on percentage basis.
Here you can define the percentage for multiple account assignment.
Even though you can change the ratio at the time of service entry sheet also.
Hope it will help you.

Manish

Open PO report with GL's and Cost Centers

Hi Gurus,
Is there a report that already exists where we can run open purchase
orders not received for non-inventory items that pulls the quantity,
price, GL account code, and cost center account code?
Thanks
Anusha

Hi,
May be the requirement will not be met in a single report.Please check the t code ME2K with selection parameter as we101 which gives you the open POs for that cost center or range of cost centers.
EKPO gives price details.
and check the table EKKN for GL account and cost center for that PO.
If you want open POs check the T code ME80FN.

How can I use a GL for multiple Cost Centers?

Hello all,
I would appreciate your comments on the following issue. POINTS AVIALABLE. I have setup several cost centers in my Sandbox. The cost centers represent departments that my client has eg Finance & Accounting, Marketing, Shipping/Warehouse.
I have created cost elements for the P&L accounts using OKB2, OKB3, SM35. My client sometimes has situations where they use the same GL for several cost centers. For example, the Freight Expense GL acct is used by Shipping/Warehouse cost center. However, someone in the Accounting/Finance cost center could also use that same GL account as well if they were shipping some documents. I cant use OKB9, since the GL is not used exclusively by the Shipping/Warehouse Cost Center.
If, for example, we create a Sales order, I want to be able to specify somewhere that the freight for that SO must go to the Shipping/Warehouse Cost center. Is there a field in an SO, Delivery document or billing document where we can tell the system that this freight is being used for Shipping/Warehouse cost center?
I know if the Accounting Cost center uses the Freight GL, we can specify the Cost Center in FB50, so that is not a big concern.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Sunil,
Thanks for your response. I tried go to VL02N and selected the line item and then went to 'GOTO'-- 'Header' --'Financial Processing'. I don't see a field 'Cost Center'. All I see are the following:
Billing block
Billing status
Totals status
Paym.guar.proc.
Financ.doc.no.
Opening date
Validity end
Billing Date
Billing date
Depreciation
PresentDate
Number of days
But if I select the item, won't the whole cost of the item be sent to the cost center? I am trying to just get the Freight charged on the item to get posted to the Shipping/Warehouse Cost center.
Please advise.
Thanks.

Balance Upload at golive with WBS or Cost Centers

Hi Gurus,
Appreciate if you can tell me what should be cutover strategy related to initial customer/vendor and GL balances at the time of GO live, specially related to lines related to WBS and Cost Centers?
The current live projects which client is having in the system, how we give those wbs elements in balances templates? How that data will go to cost centers? Will we do project settlement just after uploading data to WBS so that real picture can come in cost centers?
Appreciate if you can please share strategry if we are going live in mid year which is may? and also how to enter p&L items for jan, feb march and april in system, so that client can see their profit and loss?
Thank You
Regards,

Hi,
Please do recording through transaction code SHDB and enter the available WBS element.
Once recording has been done include function module ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE in that so whenever you download file your flat file will have all those fields taken into consideration while recording.
Mr Ajay is right some companies don't take P& L items into consideration as they are not carry forward to the next month, but my advise is that you take into consideration P& L items accountwise as you will need to match legacy Trial Balance and SAP Trial balance i.e. it should be 0 (Debit and Credit). If y ou post entire amount to retained earnings account you will not get individual balance in future GLwise which will result no TB individual G/L wise.

WBS Elements and Asset Under Constructions have different Cost Centers

Hello Experts,
We have created a WBS element in one of the projects.
As per standard process, when we create the WBS Element the Asset under construction is also getting created through the settlement rule within the WBS.
These assets should have the same Cost Center as the WBS has. However we are in a situation wherein the Cost Center in the asset under construction is different than the Cost Center in the WBS.
I have checked the settings like automatic account assignment, etc but all settings look correct.
Can you please explain first what could be the reason for such a difference between Cost Centers in WBS and AuC's and what is the solution to avoid it in future?
Thanks in advance
Leena

Thanks for your replies...
@ Alex - There is no Investment Programme ID maintained for this WBS in question since there is no IM for this project.
@ Abdul - Please elaborate more on Validation and Substitution.

Leena.
