Assessment Cost Center ??

hi all,
In controlling what is the meaning of assessment cost center... Mainly in internal activity allocation why the need of this cost element arises ?? (we include the secondary cost expence in Internal activity allocation)... at thye time of distribution why the need of this assessment cost element seperately ???
thank you...

Assessment functionality is used for transferring cost from one cost center to another cost center, say service cost center to production cost center. Also for transferring the cost one is not interested in having the break up of cost transferred i.e. individual cost element wise transfer is not required and the same can be combined while transferring.
Assessment cost elements also helps in having identification of own and apportioned cost on the cost center.
Hope this helps.

Cost Center Assessment to G/L

Hi Gurus,
Is there any easy way of Assessing Cost Center balance to Balance Sheet account? We're in 4.6C I don't see G/L account as receiver in my Assessment cycle segment? I know we can assess C.Ctr to Internal Order which can settle to B/S account or do it manually but I'm wondering if there is any easy way? Any help would be rewarded appropriately!
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
No it is not possible to transfer to GL Account from Cost Center. Assessment functionality is with in CO Module. In Internal Orders it is settlement and in Settlement Profile we can have GL Account as a receiver.
I am wondering what is the Business requirement for assessing it to GL Account?
Thanks

Cost center assessment in new GL and classic GL

HI ALL
I want to double check one thing. When you run cost center assessments in classic GL, the system will make entries in GLPCT table for PCA with assessment cost element. But when you got migrated into NEW GL then system will not make any entry in FAGLFLEXT table with assessment cost element. These assesments have no effect on PCA module. If I want to reflect the effect of costcenter assesments in PCA in new GL , where can I check for that?....Is there anyway to acheive this without activating both classic and new gl PCA?
Thanks
Steve

Hi,
If you have defined variant for real time integration and it has "Cross profit center" checked and this variant is assigned to company code, then FI-CO reconcilation posting will be posted in each of the profit center.
One can have a single account for all reconcilation posting or different FI-CO recon account can be used for each bussiness process / for each assessement cost element using substitution.
FI-CO reco account is visible in the FAGLFLEXT and hence can be displayed in report.

KSUB - Cost Center Plan Assessment

Hi All,
I am doing a Plan Assessment for Cost Center in Trans KSUB and i need a Sender & Receiver Line items by Plant... I tried to use Filter but Plant is not present.
I will be glad if anyone can help me out..
Thanks & Regards
Ajoy

Hi,
You can use only CO entities as senders/receivers, e.g. cost centres, internal orders, WBS, etc.
Plant is not a CO entity and therefore cannot be used as an object in assessment cycle.

Cost Center Assessment to COPA

Hi,
I have done Cost Center assessment to characteristics "Company Code" and "Product". System has even generated COPA documnet for costing based profitability analysis.
However, in report developed through Report Painter(KE32), the value field for which the assessment got posted is not getting displayed.
Can any one guide in this regard.
Thanks in advance
Sudhakar

Hi Sudhakar,
When you do the cost center assessment in COPA, you have given 2 characteristicsi.e product , company code and thru one value field.
When designing report in ke32 (report) and form ke35(form), we will give certain characteristics, so check what are the parameters has been given in the report, bcz values flown thru copa assessment will be available only in compaby code and product not for any other characteristics. I guess you have characteristics in report other than these two.
I hope this clarifies.

Error in cost center assessment integration with FI

We just upgraded our test system with support pack SAPKH50020 and when we test cost center assessment, we are getting the error message "For document type SA, an entry is required in field Reference"
The same process is working in our production system, which is under support pack SAPKH50010. We are using the same doc type, and the configuration for this doc type is the same as in our test system.
OSS told us that the only solution is to change the doc type configuration or use a user exit to populate the Reference field.    However, I don't understand why this process is working in the old support pack and not in the new one.
Has anybody encountered the same issue? If so, how was it resolved?
thank you,
Lanny

Hi Phaneendra,
Thank you for your response. But the real question is why is this process different between support pack SAPKH50010 and SAPKH50020.   In support pack SAPKH50010, we also uses document type SA with reference field required, but the cost center assessment is able to post to it without any customization.    Now, in support pack SAPKH50020, this no longer works.    So I'm just wondering if any of you have encountered similar issue after upgrading the support pack.
thanks
Lanny

Cost center Group & Assessment cycle

We are running CC reports for CC groups X and Y - Report GR55, Report group 1000 - Run in both currencies Pesos and USD by running in both currency modes.
Requirement:
1) How can we see the net balance in CC reports after assessments out = 0 in both Pesos and USD currencies.
2) Where we can see the link between Cost center Group and Assessment cycle.
Thanks,
Raju

Hi,
1) You will see the credit entries in the report after the assessment is run. Here, report should have configured in such a way, you can see both debit and credit entries.
2) If you have assigned the KSB1 Actual cost line report to the report, you can doubte click and see from which cost centers the values have flown through assessment.
Trust this helps much!
Cheers!

Cost Center Assessment - cost element type 42

Hi dear All,
I got issues running KSU5 to allocate planned costs under cost element type 42. we were expecting that all planned costs (primary and secondary(cost element type 42)) could be allocated by credit cost center (actual). only primary costs are being allocated.
Scenario:
cost center planning (kp06) 1000 currencies in primary cost element in cost center A
running planning assessment - KSUB: cycle uses assessment cost element (type 42): sender cost center A, receiver cost center B (all planned values). assessment cyles posts 1000 currencies from CC A to cost center B
planning in cost center B (primary cost elements through kp06, 500 currencies) total planning 1000 from previous assessment with CE type 42, and 500 from cc planning in a primari CE.
by the period end closing, tcode KSU5 (allocation actual) is running. new cycle created, based on planned values (origini not actual, but planned amounts).
we were expecting to allocate 1500 currencies from cost center B to cost center C (using 100% and through assessment cost element)).
result: credit actual cost center B = 500 currencies debit actual cost center C = 500 currencies.
1000 currencies pending on cost center B (planned).
do you know why SAP is not allocating the 1000? even if those 1000 were planned in cost center B by assessement, a new allocation cycle should be able to post them or not?
thank you for your outcome.

Hi dear Ajay, thank you for your answer.
first, I understand the difference between KSUB and KSU5, in the defined scenario, we have both. planned values, become actual with the MEC activities. business definition.
regarding the cycle, I have setup assessment cost element so we can get all planned lines posted as 1.
On sender tab I have only the cost center. no cost element defined.
receiver its cost center.
furthermore, i've not setup allocation structure, so all cost elements should be allow, there is no restriction on this.
the only difference is: planned costs which their origin is already an assessment are not being assessed again.
I can show you the print screens with cycles setup if it helps
best regards

MMPV - is Cost center assessment possible after closing period in MMPV?

Hi,
We are performing MMPV for April, which will close automatically postings for February. As far as I know MMPV opens and closes periods for MM postings only. Is that true?
I would like to perform Cost center assesment and CC assessment to COPA for february after I run MMPV. Will the system allow me to do that or due to the fact that february is closed in MM it won't be possible.
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Karol

Hi
What you feel is right as MMPV related to close the period for material document positing . To run the assessment cycle (KSU5) Co and Fi periods are required to be kept open.
If the answer is helpful kindly assign points
Thanks & Regards

Concept of CO- PA cost center assessment

Hi Experts,
I would like to ask if you could supply me with more info about the concept of cost center cost assessment in COPA. Is this a standard procedure that must done? I am having my 1st SAP implem. and have been preparing too hard to get much info. as I can take about COPA. I have understanding about value fields an characteristics BUT I am having a hard time to understand cost center allo. and why do is there a need to do it (or maybe not). Aren't they supposed to be an automatic process (distribution of figures to COPA reports)? Thanks and I would understand if the question may sound a little unclear.

Hi,
The cost center assessment to copa comes in places only for allocating the common costs.
Generally, we do allocate the common costs from the common cost center to the respective user cost centers in the overhead accounting.
If the need is to recognise the common overheads directly in COPA, then instead of reallocating the costs with in cost center accounting, we directly transfer the costs to copa thru costcenter assessment to copa.

Need to take cost center assessment cost to product

Dear All,
We have product costing activated in our system. We are taking Raw material , packing material cost from Material master. where as activity cost based on different activity type defined on relevant work center / resource based on certain formula.
Now for some other expenses like power / utility cost, we have created assessment cycle, through which we assess the cost to relevant cost centers based on certain base (SKF).
Now our business requires this cost to load on product cost which is laid on cost centers through assessment.
Pls suggest the way to achieve the same through product costing.
Thanks & Regards,
Taral Patel

Dear Ajay,
Thanks for reply.
As per my understanding below mentioned points I need to consider for costs which is coming on cost center through assessment (based on SKF) as I want to take them to my product :
I need to create seperate activity types for those expenses which I want to take onto my product.
I need to assign them onto my work center / resource.
I need to create a Splitting Structure in OKES and assign respective secondary cost element to the relevant above newly created activity type.... With this, the amount in secondary cost ele would be divided by the relevant activity type ONLY
(Choose splitting rule/method as "!2" i.e. Activity Qty in OKES)
I need to assign my production cost centers (through which I want to transfer cost to my product) to this splitting structure in OKEW.
I need to map sec. cost ele. of above created act. type to co. comp structure.
Suppose I have one power plant at my plant campus. I am distributing this power cost to my 4 different plant (existed on campus) on their respective cost centers Ctr1, ctr2, ctr3, ctr4.
Now as per above understanding when I can see this newly created activity cost to my product cost?
For that I need to assess power cost to all 4 plants and then running my product cost with these newly created activity types?
Pls correct me in my understanding.
Thanks & Regards,
Taral Patel

Cost Center Assessment to Cost Hierarchy based on Actual Consumption error

Assessment is set up:
SENDER: Cost Center: Overhead Expenses (values in expense accounts)
RECEIVER: Top Node of Cost Object Hierarchy (material consumption has been posted to two objects - related account has value and quantity fields)
Segment is set up:
Sender Rules: Posted Amounts
Share:100%
Actual value origin
Receiving tracing factor:
Receiver rule: Variable Portions
Var. portion type: Actual Consumption
No Scaling
Assumption is that "Var. portion type: Actual Consumptions" means the quantity in the consumption account on the receiver from the inventory posting. Is this true?

Cost Center in actual assessment

Hi all,
I am trying to get a report which shows for a specific cost center the actual assesment cycle in whic it is assigned in a massive way. I know I can find it via KS03 but only for a specific cost center, does anyone know a massive way to do this? I found the program RKALLOOK but this is an individual one.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi
You have two options.
(1) Use RKALLOOK and look-up one cost center at a time (I believe you are already aware about it).
(2) I am going to suggest an option at a database level. Use transaction code SE16 on table T811K. On the selection screen for this table use TABLE = CCSS, FIELD = KOSTL, FROM VALUE (Enter all the Cost Centers). One thing to remember is that this table stores cost centers as 10 characters long. So if your cost center nomenclature is shorter prefix the value with Zero. Example, cost center 12345 will be 0000012345.
Program RKALTOOL provides a list of all the allocation relevant tools at one place and RKALLOOK is the only program out there.
