  • Difference between Cost Centre  and Cost Element.

    Hi Guru's,
    what is the difference between Cost Centre  and Cost Element.
    regards
    JK

    Hi,
    Cost elements:
    A cost element classifies the organization's valuated consumption of production factors within a controlling area
    Primary Element - costs that originate outside the company; relate directly to the income statement in FI and must be included in the FI Chart of Accounts
    Secondary Element - costs that result from internal allocation activities; NO relation to G/L accounts in FI. These accounts are exclusively for cost accounting and are only maintained in CO
    Cost centre :
    Organizational unit within a controlling area that represents a defined location of cost incurrence. The definition can be based on:
    Functional requirements
    Allocation criteria
    Physical location
    Responsibility for costs
    Defines the smallest area of responsibility within the company that causes and influences costs; the lowest level to which you can meaningfully assign direct and indirect costs
    If this meets your requirement, you may like to close the posting.

  • How to calculate the Current APC (Acquisition and Production Cost)

    Hi,
    Please help me how to calculate the Current APC.
    The Current APC (Acquisition and Production Cost) is a calculated value based on Previous Year Acquisition balance plus any value changes up to the time of the report.
    The Asset History Report (RAGITT_ALV01) calculates the Current APC value &
    The Current APC can also be found in the Asset Explorer (transaction code AW01N) under Country Book 10/ Posted Values tab then the line “Acquisition Value” and column “Posted values”.
    I suppose that the calculation of Current APC (Acquisition and Production Cost) is getting done in the GET statements in the report RAGITT_ALV01, but unable to find the actual logic.
    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance,
    Satish

    Hi,
    you'll find the logic in fm FI_AA_VALUES_CALCULATE

  • Acquisition:Acquis. and production costs' could not be found for area 01' in ABZON

    Hi  All
    I m getting one error 'Account 'Acquisition:Acquis. and production costs' could not be found for area 01' in ABZON. I know we have to maintain accounts using Tcode-AO85 but
    1) how to know the correct Account Determination.
    2) How to know the correct G/Ls to be maintained in AO85.
    Pls advice.
    Thnx in advance.
    Regards
    Pankaj

    Hi,
    In ABZON, if you are acquiring with existing asset then you cna have access to account determination / asset class from asset master. If you are also creating new asset then you will have access to asset class.
    In OAYZ, we assign account determination to asset class. and in AO85, we asign GL account to account determination.
    Hope this will help you.
    Thanks,

    Best Regards
    Ferry

    Hi,
    In AO90, check for the Account 'Acquisition:Acquis. and production costs' .
    Then for the GL account check the field status group.  May be Cost center might be mandatory.

  • Profit Centre and Cost centre not updated

    Hi,
    I have posted expenses through FB60 and assigned cost centre to the expenses account and not for vendor item. Entry passed was posted.
    But when i checked the document, i saw that the cost centre and profit centre is appearing in one line item (i.e. expense line item) only.
    Afterwards i made payment through F-53. In this entry also there was no cost centre and profit centre in vendor line item. But the same was appearing in "outgoing bank" line item

    Hello,
    If you are on classical GL, your vendor line items or customer line item will not be updated automatically.
    If you are on New GL functionality and document splitting, you will have profit center updated on customer and vendor line items.

  • Cost centre and Profit centre in one query - Authorisations not working!

    Hiya,
    I have another problem related to Analysis Authorisations.
    I have created an AA with Cost Centre and Profit centre access restricted to a certain node of a hierarchy (type 1 - this node and below). For example, the User can only run a query at Cost Centres level of Country Belgium - the query works fine. Now, the user wants to drill down by the relevant Profit centres. According to the log, the system checks for Profit centres like * and says the user is not authorised. All this, despite the fact that all Profit centres belong to country Belgium and user has been given access to see these profit centres.
    What do I need to do to enable drilldown by Profit centre? I can't make a "*" access to Profit centre as the user will be able to run other queries at global level, which is not what I can allow.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello,
    I don't know if it is relevant, but I had a similar problem when I had two characteristic each with hierarchy restrictions in one authorization object.
    I "solved" it by separting each characteristic into its own authorization object.

  • How to Capture Multiple Cost centres and Business Unit information in a project?

    Dear Experts,
    With the help of UDA functionality in project super responsibility, I have captured Cost centre and Business unit information and this info will be used/reflected in CC and BU segments of all transactions gets recorded against that project.
    Now, our user wish to have multiple cost centres and business units to be tracked in the same one project. How is this feasible? Below example describes my requirement in a summary, please advise.
    An Indirect project is created when a defect on a machine reported from client's customer and all subsequent activities (purchases, travel to customer site to analyse and troubleshoot, purchases for any in-house analysis etc..involves costs spending internally) in resolving that defect/project involves 6 to 7 different departments (Sales, Tech Support, Quality team etc.,who actually work/travel and spend costs against project until defect resolution). And, each of the above departments will have 1 dedicated owner (project owners) to manage that project and each of these 6 or 7 owners owners will have their own cost centres (eg: 2345 - Sales team) against which they wish to see their transactions (travel, purchases during defect resolution) globally.
    So, all I want to know is how can I make one single project to accommodate multiple cost centresand business unit information to be assigned using UDA? Please let me know if I am not clear.
    Regards
    Venkat

    I think you should use the expenditure organization on the transaction itself to derive the CC/BU. Have AA lookups and define AA rules where you look at a Exp Org to BU or Cost Center to derive accounting.

  • Send cost centre and attendence type not filled automatically

    Hello,
    I am configuring the time recording in ESS. I configured the recording profile and in cats2 it looks good. The send cost centre and attendence type get filled automatically. But when I do the same thing in ESS the values are not populated. Is there something I have to take into account in order to get this done?
    Thanks a lot, Vanessa

    Dear Venessa,
    Please note that in contrast to personal templates, which enable you to prefill the data entry area when you start time recording, the system first displays default values when you create a new account assignment row with one receiver object and at least one working time.The system only proposes default values when you create a new account assignment row. In ESS, this is correct, because it does not make sense to provide default values for the sender cost center and activity type if you are only entering an attendance or absence type.
    Hope this helps,
    Regards,

  • Blocking of Cost centre and activity type

    Dear all,
    Please tell me how to block cost centres and activity types which will no longer be used
    best rgds,
    Manoj

    Hi,
    There are two ways .
    If you wish to use the cost center number for any other cost center , then you need to delete the cost center by KS04 & you need to mention the future period for which the same should deleted, normally, starting would be 1st day of next year to 31.12.9999
    Keep in mind, cost center can only be deleted , if no data (Actual/Plan/reversal) is posted in it. You may do it , before starting next year's budget processing.
    If you wish to just block the same , lock Actual primary/Secondary & Plan primary/Secondary in the control tab.

  • Varaince settlement and costing sheet in REM and Production order

    for REM, repetetive manufacturing, what's the difference between REM and production order in terms of variance settlement and settlement profile design? what's the difference between process order and production order in terms of variance settlement and settlement profile design?
    for actual overhead(fixed and variable), can it be calculated automatically by costing sheet? user is very angry to input actual overhead by jounal entry. also how about plan scrap, how to define it in configuration? besides order confirmation, where can I input actual scrap?

    For variances, there is no difference between the 3 diferrent orders. The settlement profile can also be the same.  The real difference from a CO perspective concerns the calculation of WIP and the settlement rule.  Process orders and production orders normally use a full settlement rule (though periodic settlement is also possible) and WIP is calculated based on actual cost.  Repetitive orders only use periodic settlement and WIP is valued at target cost.
    From an overhead perspective, there is no difference between the 3 types of orders.  Overhead sheets are assigned through the costing variant and costs are applied through period-end process. 
    Plan scrap is maintained in master data, either in material master, routing (receipe for process orders), or bill of material.  Acttual scrap usually happens based on the quantity of components issued to the order during confirmation or by the amount of scrap reported during confirmation.  If you are backflushing components, as you normally would do for repetitive, then you can adjusted the consumed quantities by doing an additional goods issue to the order (movement type 261).
    thanks,

  • IW41 using HR data (cost centre and activity type)

    Hi all,
    Does anyone know the steps required to make IW41 determine the Cost Centre and Activity Type from the HR master?
    We can change the Activity Type by user-exit CONFPM04, but not the Cost Centre.
    Also posted [here|http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=329923].
    PeteA

    Hi Pete,
    Which cost center field are you using? SKOSTL (sender cost center) should be changeable in export structure AFRUD_EXP. It is this field that is written to the AFRU table (not KOSTL). I did a quick check through debug and it looks possible to set a value in the exit that gets written to AFRU-SKOSTL.

  • Acquis. and production cost account specification for AO90

    In AO90, for Dep Area 50 and 51, B/S account determination, we have given Acquision: acquis. and production cost account and Contra account: Acquisition value account same. Is this a remmandable practice?
    In any case. can you please tell me what should be the specifiations of
    (1) Bal. sheet account: Acquisition and production costs
    (2) Contra account: Acquisition value posting
    Thank you for your help.

    Dominic:
    Thank you for your prompt reply. When I run ASKBN, it thorws an error that Contra account Contra Account: Acq Value not found for Dep Area 50 as well as 51. FYI ~ 50 AND 51 are differential Dep area (Book - Tax and Book - Stat). Hence i thought of using Bal. sheet account: Acquisition and production costs account as Contra account. After I made this change to AO90,, system thew another error that account 2360100 ( Which is my Bal. sheet account: Acquisition and production costs account) is a Assets Recon Account and can not be used as a Contra account. Can you please throw some idea to handle this?
    Also, please let me know the inplecation of setting the areas to reporting only and how is it done. Thank you!!!

  • Delimiting Cost Centre and Delimiting Company Code

    Hi Team,
    There is a business scenario I want to discuss and get your opinions;
    A Country's Currency is changing from 01012009; I am getting stuck when I reach the cost Centres.
    When i come to Cost Centre, is there a way where I can modify the Currency in the cost Centre and retain the earlier record delimited. If this is not possible then I guess the only other way os to create new cost cnetres with similar master data with new currency getting defaulted from the Company code table and assigning them accordingly. Am I right ?
    A quick response will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
