Approval before COST DISTRIBUTION Process

Hi,
Is there any standard functionality (in 12.0.6) of Approval available before Cost Distributions ?
After importing actual transactions, creating pre-approved batches or doing Project Transfer, user want to put restriction on Cost Distribution. They want Approval should come into the picture before running Cost Distribution process.
Really appreciate any standard or customize idea.
Regards,
Khan.

Hi
The workaround you may consider is enabling the requests of cost distributions only for certain responsibility. Give that responsibility to the user who would check the expenditure and approve them. After the approval that user would run the cost distribution.

  • Disabling the cost distribution button on the Process Purchase Order Screen

    This is probably a simple question, but we have been unable to find the place to disable cost distribution on the SRM Process Purchase Order screen for limit orders ONLY.  Basically, we just want this functionality to not be available to users.  Can anyone direct us to the correct configuration for this?  Or do we need to edit the BADI?
    Thanks  in Advance!

    Hello,
    You can hide this field by creating a screen variant through SHD0 transaction. I have tested here and I
    could hide it (GV_DIST_IND in Program SAPLBBP_PDH_ACC screen 1000).    
    In the screen variant you should mark the output of GV_DIST_IND field.
    However, this option would hide this button for all documents.
    Kind regards,

  • Error while doing cost distribution

    Hi all:
        while I am trying to do cost distribution , a message comes that
    Cycle DOFF is not valid on 11/01/2008
    Message no. GA509
    Diagnosis
    Cycle DOFF is valid as of the starting date 04/14/2009
    System response
    This cycle cannot be processed.
    Could you please tell me how solve the issue ?
    Thank you very much

    Hi,
    The error is because you have created Cycle DOFF with the starting date 04/14/2009 & you are trying to run the distribution cycle for November 2008.
    For which period do you want to run the cycle?
    1) If it is for April 2009, then enter the correct period & year when executing the cycle.
    2) If it is for November 2008, then you will have to increase the validity of the cycle. I dont think you can change the start date of a cycle. You could however create a new cycle with validity period Nov 2008 to Dec 9999 by copying the cycle DOFF & only changing the start & end date. Then execute this new cycle.

  • Cost distribution on infotype 15

    We have our cost distribution assigned to our positions; we do not use IT0027.  In some cases, we want certain types of payments to be posted to a specific cost center and fund.  We enter these payments on IT0015.  When I try to use the maintain cost assignment on the infotype, I get the following message:
    "Account assgn Functional Area is active in HR on 09/06/2009 and must therefore contain a value"
    The functional area is also set up on the cost distribution at the position level.  What are we missing that is preventing us from using this functionality on IT0015?
    Thanks in advance for the guidance!!

    Thanks.
    The functional areas are defined using transaction PO13, infotype 1018, field FKBER.
    I removed the cost distribution on the position and left only the account assignment, IT1008, on the position.  I tried entering the cost distribution on IT0015 with and without an IT0027, and I receive the same error message as before.

  • Cost distribution in purchase order

    Hi Experts,
    I am working on SRM 4.0.
    The scenario followed by us is extended classic scenario.
    Is it possible to perform the cost distribution activity in change mode for the purchase orders which are already in approved status.
    Please provide clarification on this scenario.
    Regards,
    Ashok

    Hi,
    The change of PO is cost distribution is being done in SRM.
    Here the PO value is very less and there is no approval involved for the PO.
    So soon after assigning the vendor and completing the shopping cart, the purchase order is also being issued to the vedor.
    For such POs in SRM we are not able to find the cost distribution icon in SRM.
    This is a service call from our client.
    Regards,
    Ashok

  • Can  a cost distribution line have multiple invoice distributions?

    I have a functional question. Is is possible to have multiple invoice distribution for a single cost distribution line?
    I mean, if we join PA.PA_COST_DISTRIBUTION_LINES_ALL AND AP.AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL, will we get multiple invoice distributin lines for a cost distribution line.
    Thanks,
    Upendra

    Hi,
    It is technically not possible for one CDL to map to multiple invoice distributions. In 11i the joins are: cdl.system_referece2 = apd.invoice_id, and cdl.system_reference_3 = apd.distribution_line_num, and a combination of (invoice_id, distributioncd_line_number) would always give you only one AP Invoice distribution. In R12, the mapping is EI.document_header_id = APD.invoice_distribution_id and one invoice_distribution_id can point to only one AP Invoice Distribution.
    Multiple CDLs for a single AP Invoice Distribution: Yes, this is possible.
    1. When an AP Invoice distribution is imported into Projects and adjustments are carried out in Projects for the imported line and then the PRC: Distribute Supplier Adjustments process, then at this point of time multilple CDLs map to a particular AP distribution. Now, when PRC: Interface Supplier Adjustments to Payables is run, the adjusted transactions create new AP distributions.
    2. For a CDL, there can be 'C' and 'D' lines, which would carry the same attributes as the 'R' line, hence we can say there are multiple CDLs for a single AP distribution.
    Thanks,

  • Standard Overhead distribution process in SAP

    Hi...!
    I need to work on Standard Overhead distribution process in SAP. As per my understanding Overhead Distribution process means - Assessment & Distribution.
    If my understanding is wrong, Please help me by providing some inputs to proceed further.
    Thanks,
    Anil

    hi  Anil
      You bare right. To allocate overhead expenses from OH Cost Centre to Other Cost objects ( CCtr,WBS Element,Orders etc) you can se Assessment cycle or Distribution cycle.
    For Plan
       1. Creat assessment cycle T.code KSU7 and execute T.code KSUB
        2. Creat Distri Cycle T.code KSV7 and execute T.code KSVB

  • Cost rollup process

    Hi,
    I need detail cost rollup process and how it functions in SAP.

    Dear Sinha,
    1.At any point you can find out what is the standard cost of a product along with the split up of the component's cost,activity
    cost and the over head cost.
    2.This cost calculkation helps us to control or helps us to take some decision of modifying the BOM or routing for reducing the
    manufacturing cost or adjusting or to check the values.
    3.This cost becomes the base or the planned cost for checking the variance caluclation and settlement.
    Also before taking a cost rollup Check this,
    1.Check whether BOM exist for all the Inhouse manufactured products and the sub-contracted products.
    2.Check whether routing exists for all the inhouse manufactured products.
    3.Check whether a sub-contracting purchase info record exists for all the sub-contracted products(ME11 will be used for
    creating PIR - Purchase Info Record).
    4.Check whether the rates are properly assigned for activity type and cost center combination (KP27 can be used for checking
    this).
    5.Use CK40N for taking the cost rollup.
    6.Use CK11N only for the products for which you want to select a particular BOM or production version or routing for costing
    purpose and later on Mark and release the cost using CK24.
    7.Check what's the first priority given to the valuation variant for costing the raw materials say like planned price or else moving
    average price using the T Code OKKN and OKK4.
    8.After taking the cost rollup these costs gets stamped in the material master and henceforth all the stock will be valuated using
    this price.
    9.At any point you will be able to tell the product cost of a product which is only a planned and it can be more or less once after
    completing the production and then the variances can be calculated and settled.
    10.Ensure the user has got the full authorization for taking the costing run to save,mark,release.
    Check and revert back.

    Hi,
             Currently i am using PR Release strategy without classification and now I want to shift from without classification to with classification as we want to alogn the PR approval process to cost centre.And also want approval of PR should on total basis not line by line item.I think with classiifcation we can align PR Approval process by total .
    What is your opinion and suggestion?

  • How to Run Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing SAP PI

    Hi,
    We are trying to execute multiple commands via "Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing".
    When we use single command say for example cp or mv (copy or move) the commands get executed fine.
    eg: cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt 
    /this works fine/
    when we club commands together or try to redirect the outputs of commands, none of the commands get executed.
    eg:
    cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt ; rm %F
    or
    wc -l %F > /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
    Is it possible to execute multiple commands or redirect the output  of commands without using a shell script? The PI server we are working on iis hosted on UNIX environment.

    Hi Harleen,
    try like this
    cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt ; rm %F
    instead of semicolon try this
    (1) &
    command1 & command2
    Execute Command1 and then execute Command2
    (2) &&
    command1 && command2
    Runs the command2 only when command1 doesn't Complete successfully
    (3) ||
    command1 || command2
    Runs the second command if the first command had an error
    (4) ()
    (command1 || command2) || (command3 & command4)
    Defines the order in which commands are to be executed

  • Infoset query of vendor payments at the cost distribution level

    We would like an infoset query of vendor payments at the cost distribution level of the document.  The issue seems to be joining vendor to the document cost distribution lines. 
    1.) BSAK + BSIK can be combined with an infoset data structure but only contain the vendor line of a document;  the cost distribution lines are not in the tables. 
    2.) BSIS + BSAS can be combined with an infoset data structure but lack vendor data and joins (to a vendor source) are not an option with data structures.  Vendor data added with an additional field is too slow to be a primary selection field. 
    3.) Logical data base KDF in an infoset returns only the vendor line of a document, not the cost distribution lines. 
    4.) Logical data base BRM in an infoset can have vendor from BSAK/BSIK attached by an additional field but performance is too slow to be useful.  Joins are not an option in a logical data base infoset.
    5.) Complete data is lacking when table joins between document cost distribution tables and vendor data tables are possible, (SPL actual line item table & BSIP or FMIFIIT & FMIFIHD).  BSIP lacks AB documents (reversals).  FM tables lack general ledger only documents. 
    6.) BSAK and BSIK together have complete vendor data but joins of both to a basis table do not work well.  Left outer joins are too slow, inner joins won’t work since the tables have mutually exclusive data. 
    It would be ideal to have vendor in BKPF, like FMIFIHD has, but it isn't a field.
    Does anyone know of any other options?  I have seen the helpful thread on How to Read BSEG Efficiently

  • Refresh problem in Shopping Cart and PO in  cost distribution in SRM 7.0

    Hi ,
    As of now we are working in SRM 7.0. Actually when we are changing the account assignment cateogary from WBS  to Asset  then the cost distribution need to be changed from Percentage to quantity and vice-versa. But this is not happening .
    Can somebody hlp on this if you guys came across such issue.
    Regards,

    Cost distribution will not change automatically when you change the account assignment category. You will ve to distribute it manually on the same lines as you did for Cost Center earlier

  • Cost distribution SRM to R/3  - based on VALUE

    Hi all,
    We are working on SRM 5.0 and R/3 4.7.,ECS
    In shopping cart when the cost dsitirbution is sleected as "VALUE",when the corresponding SRM PO replicates to R/3,the cost distribution always changes to percentage/quantity....Why is that R/3 system recognises the cost distribution only for quantity or percentage???
    Also we are now upgrading iur R/3 system to ECC 6.0.Is the above issue resolved in ECC or still persists in ECC 6.0 too???
    Has anybody encountered the above issue??Please share experiences.

    I am curious as to if you got this resolved. When we upgraded, I was hoping that we would finally get to use distribute by value between SRM and SAP without it converting over to percentages. I have worked with OSS and the discussion forum to come up with a resolution but no luck yet.
