Alternative hierarchy for cost centers

Hi all,
Due to reporting needs I have to work on two cost centers hierarchy at the same time. So I decide to use the alternative hierarchy which is a copy of the standard one. I've seen on help.sap.com that it was possible to copy the standard hierarchy, and to modify this new alternative hierarchy.
My problem is that the system doesn't let me modify the alternative hierarchy, I can't delete, replace or add any cost center.
Thanks in advance for your return.

Hi Mary,
thanks for this reply. I have already created the alternative hierarchy by KSH1, to replicate the standard hierarchy (let's call it CENTRAL), so my new hierarchy (let's call it ALTERNATIVE) is all the same in comparison to the previous one. After the copy the two contains the same cost centers groups, and inside the nodes the same cost centers. For the year 2008, I need to move cost centers in the ALTERNATIVE from one node to another one, so I could compare node by node the 2008-CO postings with 2007-CO postings.
The central point is that my cost centers perimeter is altered every year and I need to compare two cost centers hierarchies at the same time.
Hope this reply is more precise.
Regards Pascal

Standard hierarchy for cost centers, transactions okeon, okenn

Hello,
When I run transaction okenn (or okeon) I cannot see hierarchy for any cost center group. Exactly, option 'expand subtree' cannot be executed so I am not able to see all nodes of the specific cost center group. I can only see the name of the cost center group, or cost center itself, but not as expanded tree.
What could be the problem? Do I have to define something additionally?
Best regards,
Dragan

Hi,
I don't really trust SU53...it's unreliable as it only shows you the last authorization object checked. Please verify via an authorization trace in ST01. If the issue is indeed PLOG please check SAP notes 177844, 211991 & 175063.
Once you have gone through the notes please run the hierarchy master data comparison (OKEON-> Menu -> Extras).
The issue regarding PLOG and the standard hierarchy is well known in support, but I haven't seen it around in a while....

Stand.hierarchy in cost centers

Hi
is it mandatory to create standard hierarchy for cost centers... what is the purpose of standard hierarchy.
thanks in adv

Hello Aparna,
A tree structure containing all the cost centers in a controlling area from the Controlling standpoint.
You assign a cost center to an end node of the standard hierarchy in the master data maintenance of the cost center, or in the enterprise organization. This ensures that the standard hierarchy contains all the cost centers in that controlling area.
When you define the controlling area, you specify the name of the top node of the standard hierarchy in that controlling area.
Hope this helps. please assign points.

Transaction KSB1 - Display Actual Cost Line Items for Cost Centers

Hi,
When I run transaction KSB1 - Display Actual Cost Line Items for Cost Centers, all my offsetting accounts (accumulated depreciation accounts) are shown except for the ones for asset classes:
- Buildings
- PC & Small Applications
On the FI side, I can see transactions being posted to their relative accumulated depreciation accounts but I do not see this on the CO side when transaction KSB1 is executed. I have checked the config and the account assignments look correct. Also, the assets created have cost centers assigned to them.
Could you please help!
Thanks,
- Deki

Hi Murali,
I have one depreciation expense account (P/L Account) which is also a cost element.
During depreciation run, the different asset classes are supposed to hit the depreciation account above and their corresponding accumulated depreciation accounts (These are Balance Sheet Accounts and I have separate accounts for each asset class .. ie: Accumulated Depreciation for Furniture and Fixture for asset class Furniture and Fixture).
Now when I run transaction KSB1 - Display Actual Cost Line Items for Cost Centers, all my accumulated depreciation accounts are shown except for the ones for these asset classes:
- Buildings
- PC & Small Applications
Any thoughts on why the above aren't showing?
Thanks! I really appreciate your help!

Plan cost line items for cost centers report

Hello,
I am displaying the report: Plan cost line items for cost centers and when I display the details of a line item it appears a document number, where could I display this document?
I have tried to display it in FB03 transaction but it seems not to be this kind of document.
On the other hand in the field Business transaction it appears RKP6, what is the meaning of this field?
Thank you very much

Hi Beatriz Amezua ,
For displaying plan line items for cost center - KSBP and for display of individual plan document : KABP
RKP6 means "Planning Activity Dependent Costs"
Like in FI module, the business transaction have been codified and the list you can find in KANK transaction , mention your controlling area, menu -- Groups -- Display Groups

Customized report for cost centers by different cost centers

Hi All,
Customized report for cost centers by different cost centers:
I need to build a customised report with the following format:
Cost element columns | Cost center 1 | cost center 2 | cost center 3, etc -> dynamic cost center columns
CE 1 .............................. amount xxx | . amount xxx | .. amount xxx
CE 2 .............................. amount xxx | . amount xxx | .. amount xxx
CE 3 .............................. amount xxx | . amount xxx | .. amount xxx
CE 3 .............................. amount xxx | . amount xxx | .. amount xxx
User selection screen:
Controlling are:
Fiscal Year:
From period to period:
cost center group ... <range of CC group> or
cost center value ... <range of CC value>
Questions:
From the above selection screens, I need to pull out all the data stored in the table: COEP
But, the problem is that inside this table, there is no cost center or cost center group stored; and therefore the program should be smart enough to pull out all the documents from the table: COEP and then make sure that the document / list of documents that pull out should belongs to the cost center or cost center group, as well as date range.
KIndly advise how functional description/design should be built in order ABAPer can understand the requirement?
What should be the tables to refer in order meet the requirement.
Similar Standard SAP cost center report should be S_ALR_87013611 - Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance, but this report read from many tables.

Hi,
Please find the logic below & try it at your system-
Here cost center group is not possible (also i not checked it so do it on your own simultaneously i am trying the same).
Use Table BSEG-> in bseg give the cost center-> with the help of cost center find the account number (field HKONT)-> take this GL account number & got to table COEP-> in this give the GL account number at field 'offsetting account' (field GKONT) & you will get the line item.
Try it & let me know if you have any question.
Thanks

Define Time-Based Fields for Cost Centers

Dear All!
I would like to know , how I'm abale to cahnge the setting
of business area for Time-Based Field of Cost Centers to period
Transaction is OKEG
Would be thankful

You can maintain master data for cost centers, cost elements, activity
types, and business processes with time dependencies. You can make
changes at any time for any given time interval. Data storage also takes
place with a time reference. In this way, a master data record can have
multiple database records storing different information.
The smallest interval is one day. To ensure data consistency, you
cannotchange each field daily. The timeframes in which you can change a
field depend on the field functions, which are fixed by the SAP R/3
System and cannot be changed. Master data maintenance includes an
automatic check for each field's time-based consistency, resulting in
individual time-based maintenance for each field.

Distribution cycle for cost centers

Hi,
I have created a distribution cycle for cost centers using SKF. I have even created document using KB31N. based on this document the sender should have some amount after executing the distribution cycle, but here the sender value is completely distributed to recievers leading to incorrect results.
Can any one help me solve this?
Thanks,
Sravanthi

Hello
Pls check the rule once again.
You use allocation rules to determine how amounts and quantities are allocated between sender objects (sender values) and receiver objects (receiver tracing factor). The rules for the allocation types are made up of sender and receiver rules.
Sender rules
Determination of the sender values for the distribution/assessment can occur according to the following rules:
Posted amounts
Fixed amounts
Fixed rates
Receiver rules
Determination of the sender values for the distribution/assessment can occur according to the following rules:
Variable portions
Fixed amounts
Fixed percentages
Fixed portions

Difference between SKFs for Cost Centers and Profit Centers

Dear All,
Three cost centers A,B and C have two profit centers say X and Y assigned. When we run SKFs report for Cost Centers - S_ALR_87013645 total for all the Cost centers is say 30 (81210). When I run the report S_ALR_87013342 for Profit Centers SKF break down total is 30. However break up is not matching. Cost Center A and B have Profit Center X and C has Profit Center Y. Ideally in PCs break down for SKFs must be X = 20 and Y=10. However this is not the case. Total is tallying but the break up is not tallying. Y has total of say 25.
Cost Center C has profit center assignment changed in the middle of the year. Is the difference because of changing the PC assignment to CC in the middle of the year/in between? Do we need to adjust the SKF numbers for incorrect PCs in 9KE5?
Is there any other way to correct the difference instead of posting in 9KE5? Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Satya
