Allocation of Costs

Hello,
Can somebody please tell me how you can allocate the costs in a particular GL Account (and Cost Centre / Company Code), to various other Company Codes/GL Accounts/Cost Centres?
Baiscally, we want the functionality of the Assessment process in SAP - however the Assessment in SAP does not allow for intercompany transactions.
Is there any other alternative besides doing an Intercompany journal entry (which we want to avoid)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Rob

Hi,
For this you create an assessment cycle, where you define the percentage to the receivers, sending cost elements etc.
IMG->Controlling->Cost center accounting->planning->allocations->assessment->define assessment.
run KSUB to execute the plan cost assessment
Hope it helps

Allocation of cost from service cost center to production cost center

Dear sir ,
Will I use to distribute the cost from service department to production department and that cost centers also using for activity planing will get currect result in product costing ?

Hello,
Can you clarify what you want to do ?
Allocation of cost from service cost centers to production cost centers can be done with the help of Assessment / Distribution cycles and you can do a activity planning using the same costs as well. The steps for activity planning would be as under:
1. Create primary cost planning in the service and production cost centers (KP06)
2. Create activity planning in the production cost centers (KP26) without any rate
3. Run assessment / distribution cycles to transfer cost from the service cost centers to production cost centers (KSUB / KSVB), in case you are not transferring based on activity quantity then also do SKF planning in KP46
4. Run plan cost splitting in case you have more then one activity type (do config for splitting structure beforehand) (KSS4)
5. Calculate Plan price for the production cost center activity types (KSPI)

KKS5 allocated actual cost

Hi,
In KKS5 Varience report, system is showing Target Cost, Actual cost and Allocated actual cost. Target cost and actual cost is storing in table COSS. But i want to know which table allocated actual cost will be stored. Can any one guide me on this.
govind.

Hi
1. Allocated costs are always treated as Fixed costs, unless you have booked the expenses in FI using Activity Type as Aux Account assignment object
2. Check whether these costs are included in Inventory valuation in your Cost Comp Str in OKTZ... If not relevant for inv valuation, these costs wont show up for Variance calculations

Allocation of Cost based on Match for 2 Dimensions

Hi Experts,
We are running an allocation where we assign an expense account balance (transportation costs) based on the combination of the dimensions entity and country. Please see the attached for a full example.
A brief example:
ORIGINAL DATA
Entity: Country AI Units (Currency)
1120 Holland AI_01 50
1120 Holland AI_03 30
1120 France AI_02 10
PRICING DATA
Entity: Country USD
1120 Holland 8
1120 France 10
DESIRED RESULT
1120 Holland AI_01 (50*8)=400
1120 Holland AI_03 (30*8)=240
1120 France AI_02 ((10*10)=100
ACTUAL RESULT
1120 Holland AI_01 (50+30) *8=640
1120 Holland AI_03 (50+ 30)*8=640
The original data is multiplied by a "pricing table" data that resides in a statistical account with similar dimensions for Entity and Country. Based on the match between Entity and Country between the data and country we assign the cost.
Issue is that other dimensions e.g. AI or other should be ignored for this calculation and the postings occur as they were originally. However the actual result based on the script below is duplicating data
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Vadim,
Again as before this helped us greatly!
Another question if I may:
2) The next step of the calculation is after we search for a price
based on the entity/country match, if one is not found we go to a second
pricing table and select based entity and property of the country (e.g. a
region) that has a new price.
This means that we could have a conflict between the 2 tables. e.g.
in the first table we find a match between Entity and country = France or
country = Holland.
Now when there's an entry = Greece there's no match in table 1 and
we go to table 2 to select the Europe price.
Europe price will now override the first 2 rows from table 1. How can we build this?
One thought is to first perform the select on table 2 (region) and
then override with (table 1) only where it's found?
Thoughts?
Thanks

Allocation of cost from one profit center group to various profit centr gr

Hi Experts,
Here we created one profit center as group function having various cost centers like common function Admin,Accounts,Legal,HR etc. Now we want to allocate the the cost from group function to various profit center group.
Kindly give your valuable solution.
J.Francis

Hi,
The allocation can be done through Distribution either in a fixed value or in percentages. You can define a planning
cycle for a sender profit center group and define the amount to be allocated to receiver profit center group.
Define Actual cycle in the same way. In periodic processing which may be every month/quarterly/half yearly,
you can distribute the values from one group to the other.

Allocation of Costs from Cost center to COPA

Hi
We are booking costs to a Cost Center with reference to a Primary Cost Element. However, in month end, the same cost has to be transferred to COPA. One of the Characteristics in COPA is also Profit Center.
The issue is that we can allocate costs from Cost centers to COPA through Assesement Rule, system requirement is for Assesement Cost Element, which is a secondary Cost element. In such a case, the PCA Balances, after execution of Assesement cycle are shown with the Secondary Cost Elements.
In a case, I have booked costs of INR 100000 in a cost center 103007 against a Primary Cost Element 423101. Since Profit Center 103007 is assigned in Cost Center 103007, the Profit Center Line Items will show a balance of INR 100000 against cost element 423101 for Profit Center 103007.
After this at month end, we need to allocate costs from Cost Center to COPA. But the requirement is that after allocation also, the balances should be shown against Cost Element 423101 for Profit Center 103007
Regards
Sanil

Hi Sanil
That is not possible.. There is no "Distribution cycle" available for COPA.. In COPA you can have either an Assessment Cycle or an Indirect Act Allocation or a Template Allocation...
I dont know about template allocation as I have never used that, but gut feel says even that wont serve the purpose...
One work around is you allocate from Cost Center to an Internal Order using Distribution cycle... Then Allocate from IO to COPA using assessment... In order to use IO as sender in allocation cycle, use note 605281
At best, what you can do is to use an Allocation Structure instead of one single assessment cost element per Segment... Using an Alloc Str, you can map, say, GL Accounts for Basic Salary, DA, HRA to one Secondary cost element... This way, create logical groupings of GL accounts and map to multiple secondary cost elements
But bear in mind, The more you use Secondary cost elements, the more will be the line items in CE1XXXX table...

Allocation of cost to different cost center

Hi Techies,
I have to allocate cost from one cost center to different cost center according to percentage (%). Company wants to show same cost on sender and then breakdown according to % on receiver cost center.
Example: Company wants to allocate cost from CCenter A to Ccenter B1, B2, B3.... according to % like 74.1% to B1, 14.8% to B2. Now which allocation functionality (Assessment, Distribution) I should use to solve this problem. I would really appreciate if you have method or process step to perform this process.
Thank You,
Kenny

Use transaction KSU2 to call the Assessment Cycle.
Click on "First Segment" and in the segment header, under Sender Values, select Posted Amounts and key in 100% (since you wish to assess all the costs). Under Receiver Tracing Factor, select Fixed Percentages.
Click on the "Senders/Receivers" tab. Now under "Senders", do an F4 (dropdown list) in the Cost Centres field and select your Cost Centres (or groups).
Similarly click on the Cost Elements and dropdown to select your Cost Elements or groups.
Now under Receivers, in the Cost Centre field, key in the Cost Centres you wish to post costs to.
Click the next tab Sender Values
Here, enter Share in % as 100% (default) and under version, enter 0.
Now click on the Receiver Tracing Factor tab. You should see all the Cost Centres you entered under Receivers in the Sender/Receiver tab. Enter the %s you wish to apportion to each Cost Centre.
Save this cycle and run this for the period in question. Before you run this, make sure you post some costs to the Sender Cost Centres. Else the system will find nothing to assess and come back with the same error.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Allocation of cost from one business area to another business area

Hello friends,
Client Requirement: They have 5 business areas. one is for Head office and other 4 are business operations. Their head office expenses are booked under various cost centers in H.O Business Area. Now they want to allocate all H.O expenses to other business areas where business operations are carried on.
currently all allocations are made manually. now they want to incorporate in SAP.
is it possible to allocate the expenses which are booked under one business area to other business area???
pls give your ideas for how to allocate those expenses.....

They didn't have profit centre. so i cann't go for that option
Each operation area has many cost centres and internal orders... i have to allocate the costs from the cost center to internal orders.... if it is a same business area there is no problem we can create assessment cylce and allocate the cost.... the problem comes only when the allocation needs from one business area's cost center to other business area internal orders
for that the solution might be create Secondary cost element As you said and by using assessment cycle we could allocate the costs...

Allocation of cost centers based on amount.

Hi Gurus,
I need to find out how cost center allocations happen?
How can these be traced in Tables?
Currently i am viewing KSU3 tcode.
Where I can view Controlling Area -> Cycles.
In each cycle i have noticed Sender and Receiver Cost Center with receivers has some percentages.
How Can i track these details from SAP tables.
For eg: Sender Cost Center(100$) -
> Receiver Cost Center(50$) ie., 50% of amount allocated from Sender Cost Center to Receiver Cost Center.

Hi,
You can overview your assessment via KSU6 transactions. The results of the allocations are stored, as all other CO documents, in COEP table (detailed level).
Additionally, these reports S_ALR_87013615 and S_ALR_87013616 can give you the picture of the allocations performed.µ

Validation, which prevents internal cost allocation between cost objects..

Dear Experts,
Can anyone assist me in how to create a validation, which doesn't let internal cost allocation to occur between the cost objects of different company codes. What steps to take?
Thanks,
Erne

Dear Ajay,
Thanks you for your answer, although I'm still in doubt about, which way to go with this.
I would like to do this the simplest way possible, but since I'm new to CO it's hard to figure out the right way. For the same reason I don't know much about the cycles either, but I'm on it to figure out how they work.
Are you sure there is no way to do this using validations?

GST allocation to cost centers

hi all,
   in an invoice the GST from all line items will go to a single cost center, but my client wants to automatically distribute it to their respective cost centers entered in the line items with out manual entry
ex:
Itm PK ACC        Tx Amt   CC
01 31 venacc           x
02 40 glacc1      t5   y       c1
03 40 glacc1      t5   z       c2
04 40 glacc1      t5   x       c3
05 40 GSTacc    t5   ?       C4
here they wants to distribute the tax in c4 to the c1,c2,c3
t5 is 5% GST
will it be possible to automate this?

Hi Sravanthi,
Here is the segment parameters I tried for your scenario which ofcourse works.
Sender rule: posted amounts 100%
Receiver rule: variable amounts/actual costs/no tracing
sender CC
cost element:tax a/c
receivers:v c1 to c4
sender values:share 100%
actual value origin
receiver tracing factor:
Var.portion type: actual costs
cost elements:inventory accounts posted to
rec weighting factors:
100
100
Hope this is clear.
Thanks,
Vamsi

Allocation from cost center to profit center

Hi,
Is there any way we would allocate expenses booked on a cost center to a profit center?

Hello Ravi
Information from FI or nay other module depends on the assignment of cost object in the original document.
Normally, it is the CC which is assigned to PC.

Re-allocating Actual Costs and Actual Work from one project to multiple projects

My company would like to track costs in one project and then re-allocate those costs to multiple projects. Example: An end user would submit a timesheet against a task named 'Analysis' for Project A. Once accepted and published, the
costs for those hours would be subtracted from Project A and 60% of those costs would be transferred to the 'Analysis' task for Project X and 40% of the costs for those hours would be transferred to Project Y.
We believe we can accomplish this through reporting, but before we go this route, we wanted to make sure there was not a logical, supported way in MS Project Server to complete these actions. Could a script be developed to accomplish this?
Thank you!
Tasha

Out of the box Project and Project Server do not support this. However with VBA anything is possible. You could also use PSI to work directly with project data in teh Server db but that would take much longer to develop. Check you can do what you want
in VBA then you can use the result to spec the server version afterwards.
