Assets: Unable to post to the assigned Cost Center in Asset Master

When I do the Depreciation Run, the cost center that gets hit is the Cost Center specified on the Cost Element (associated with the Depreciation Expenses account).
Never does the Cost Center specified on the Asset Master gets picked.
In case I do not specify any Cost Center (Default) on the Cost Element, no depreciation documents gets posted and instead I get an error message Missing CO assignment
As I understand, the Cost Center mentioned on the Asset Master should be posted to (which is not happening in my case).
Any missing configurations in Asset Accounting or something not configured correctly in CO????

hi,
1) check the time interval of cost-centre
a) AS02 with your asset
b) KS02 with your cost centre

Movement Type 309 Not posting to the correct Cost Center

Hi,
We have changed the field status group for movement type 309 to be able to enter profit center. We maintained a cost center determination in OKB9 based on the profit center. However the system is ignoring the profit center entered in the MIGO (309) and picking the profit center from the material master.
Material Master has Profit center 40000.
MIGO posting has Profit Center 43005 which in turn has a cost center assigned to 100143005 cost center.
When we do MIGO 309, with the profit center 43005, the accounting document is posted with profit center 40000 and cost center 100140000. Can anyone tell why is it ignoring the profit center maintained in the transaction?
I also checked OMJJ and checked the "Account Assignment" box for transaction type AUM.
Thanks and Regards

Why we assign cost center while posting to any G/L

Hi All,
I need one clarification.
Why we assign cost center while posting to any G/L, even though we have been assign cost center to the cost element it will post the co entry through cost element.
Please any one make me understand the internal logic and process of how cost element and cost center works.
Thanks

Find below your clarification for the points
Why we assign cost center while posting to any G/L, even though we have been assign cost center to the cost element it will post the co entry through cost element.: Once you have assigned cost center to cost element in T.code OKB9 or KA01, no need of manually entering the cost center for the respecting primary cost GL while passing enteris.
Please any one make me understand the internal logic and process of how cost element and cost center works.: Whenever you post a cost to primary cost element , you require an object in Controlling , such as cost center to identify the costs. This primary costs are only created when the respective GL exist in the operational chart. Cost center is the location where cost incurs. Thus when you assign the cost to cost center , the cost will be booked against that particular location .

Forgot to assign Cost center for one of the GL account and positing are don

Hi All,
I have created GL account but forgot to assign Cost center to that GL, now some 1000 documents are posted in that account,
what is the best way to resolved this problem.
your respond is appreciated.
Thanks,
Supriya.

Hi Supriya
In such scenario, always keep the below 5 steps in mind
1. The T code is OKBA (and not OBKA)
2. Create the cost element and assign a default cost center in KA02
3. Execute OKBA by inputting the 1000 doc nos
4. All these vlaues will hit one single cost center
5. Now do a KB11N if you wish, to transfer the values from This cost center in KA02 to the desired cost center....

Which is the best way to assign cost center to cost element?

Hi,
I am getting the below error...
569400- Gain/Loss Inventory Transfer account requires Cost Object Assignment
which is best practice to assign cost center - either assign in KA02 or assign in OKB9-automatic account assignment?
Please advise ...
Thanks
Kishore

HI,
assignment in KA02 is valid for the whole controlling area, assignment in OKB9 can be different on comp. code level (maybe thats an andvantage for you). Substitution (OKC9) is also possible and delivers more opportunities than OKB9.

Difference between cost center & Responsible cost center in asset master

I want to know difference between cost center & responsible cost center in asset master on following perspective.
1. Financial accounting veiw -
2. Business & report veiw.
I have read through F1 help
Cost Center
Key uniquely identifying a cost center.
Use
The SAP system uses the cost center assignment in the asset master record to determine the cost center affected when the following types of asset posting are made:
Fixed asset depreciation
Gain/loss from asset sales
Cost center responsible for asset
Cost center that is responsible for the asset, but which does not carry the depreciation for the asset.
Example
For example, the cost center "vehicles" can be responsible for all vehicles, while other cost centers carry the depreciation for the vehicles
I can understand from F1 what will be the impact on finance accounting. My question is how it helps in reporting etc & business logic for using responsible cost center. Which report will be usefull to see data at responsible cost center.

FI-AA / CO - Impossible to input cost center in asset acquisition

Hello everyone,
I have a question about asset acquisition postings (transaction ABSO).
In first item of the document (with posting key 70) i click on 'Additional account assignement' but fields 'Cost center' and 'Profit center' are both locked (no possible entries).
I state that:
AA
1) Additional account object as KOSTL (Cost center) is active in AA customizing
2) Account assignment object for dep. area 01 (trsx. ACSET) displays KOSTL for '*' all Asset transaction type
GL
1) In Account master data field status group provides Cost center as optional entry
CO
1) Cost center is active for the relating controlling area
2) The acquisition account is correctly opened as statistical cost element
The same thing happens if i try to post with transaction AB01 instead of ABSO, but if I remove 'A - Asset' from transaction OAMK (Change control of reconciliation Accounts) i could input cost center in a generic FI posting.
How i could insert cost center code in transaction ABSO for the first item of the document ?
Why the transaciont did not inherit cost center from Asset master data ?
Some parameterization missed in CO customizing (or GL or AA) ?
Thanks and bye
M.M.

Hi,
Please check the setup as follows:
1. Go to Financial Accounting -> Asset Accounting -> Integration with the general ledger -> Additional account assignment
     objects -> Activate Account Assignment Objects. Is the filed 'Agreement' is set as 'X' for object COST CENTER ? If this
     indicator is checked, you are not able to enter cost center when posting acquisition, even via tcode F-90. This ensures the
     consistency of the cost center value with that in asset master data.
     However, the cost center will not be inherited from asset master data before you change message status, as described in
     next step.
2. Go to OBA5. Enter Application Area 'KI', click Enter and then switch off message 098.
Hope this helps...

No accounting document created for distributed cost center and asset

Hi experts,
Why there is no accounting document created during GR for distibuted cost center and asset?
Thanks

Sorry guys, there's nothing to do with the config of the account assignment. The postings are ok for single cost center or single asset. SAP system message (info messsage) " Goods receipt for distributed cost center will be non valuated" are given when you are trying to unticked the GR non valuated.
If someone could explain what is the logic behind that behavior.
Thanks again.

Assign Cost Center for Internal Consumption in Sales Order

Dear Experts,
I have a scenario is that Marketing Manager want to give a gift to his customer, the expense of this gift will be charged to Marketing Department. As the law, the invoice of this gift is required with the posting as below:
Dr Expense acc 5000 USD
Cr Revenue acc 5000 USD
(Assume that there is no tax)
I create a Sales Order with the Product is the Gift that will give to customer, and I also assign the Cost Center as Marketing Department. The problem is when I generate the billing document from this Sales Order, the system throw the error: Cost Center XYZ (Marketing Department) is not allowed posting revenue. This error happen because I don't want to post revenue to Cost Center, I want only Expense will be posted to Cost Center. But because I assigned Cost Center in header of Sales Order, system will post both revenue an expense to this CO object. Now what I want to do is post Expense to Cost Center, revenue to Profit Segment. Is it possible and what I need to do if it is possible?

Hi SAP Gurus,
My client is asking me to change cost centers in Asset Master records using LSMW. Currently, the field cost center is in display mode.

Please suggest me how I can resolve the issue.

Hi Saravana,
We can change the cost center for AuC Investment measure at WBS element level. For that purpose we need to go to AuC Investment measure Asset master record and check WBS element under Origin Tab. Double click on WBSE and then check the cost center under Assignment tab. And also check the cost center in Asset master record for the same. Now you can go to T.Code CJ12 (Change WBS Element) and change the cost center for the same. Once you make changes system automatically change the cost center in asset master record for the same.
Note: - Now you have to identify all the AuC Investment measure Assets and the WBS Element for the same. Then change the cost center in WBS Element record. And the corresponding changes will be done in relevant Asset master record automatically.
But before making the change please check with the PS/PM consultant regarding changes in WBS element. Means where it will effect?

Change cost center in asset master data

Dear All,
When I go to change cost center in asset master data by transaction code AS02 it does show gray cost center field and system does not allow to change. I also tried to use time dependent option but field was still gray. Kindly help me in this regard,
Regards,
Uddin

Hi,
check the accounting object customizing in IMG FI-AA. At the step where you activate the accounting objects you can set a flag "balance sheet relevant" for the accounting objects. If this is checked, then you will not be allowed to change this accounting object in the asset master record after the first posting to the asset.

Posting expense amounts to cost center versus Project (WBS)

Hi,
I am an ABAPer. I have a basic FI doubt. We are using Project system in our company. Now for expenses, the employee enters the data in third party systems. Th third party systems then provide us with the data file which will be posted in SAP.
The business says that if a given expense by an employee, has Project status released, then the amount for that expense should be posted to cost center otherwise the amount for that expense should be posted to the project(WBS).
Now what does business people mean by posting expense amount to cost center or posting expense amount to Project (WBS). Where in FI can I see the option of posting amount to cost center versus posting amount to project ? Is there any transaction we can do that ?
Regards,
Rajesh.

Dear Rajesh,
If there is a corresponding wage type for expenses, you would assign GL Accounts to the corresponding symbolic accounts of HR Payroll. You would run the payroll.
Which means that wage types are assigned to symbolic accounts and symbolic accounts point to GL Accounts.
In HR, expenses are dealt mainly in Travel Management for travel expenses etc.
in SAP Easy Access Menu, Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> Travel Management -> Travel Expenses
F-41 and F-43 are one and same except the fact the F-41 has defaulted with document type KG (Vendor credit memo) and F-43 with KR (Vendor Invoice) which you can change. You should use Document Type KR for Vendor Invoices.
The payments will be released once you run payment program to run due A/P open items.

Naveen.

Change of Cost Center in Asset Master for Investment measure (AuC) Assets.

Hi,
We have an asset class 4001 which has been maintained as an investment measure for AuC. I want to change cost center for all the assets that are maintained in the asset class 4001. The system is showing cost center field in display mode in change transaction of the asset AS02 for all the assets in the asset class. I want to replace the old cost center with new cost center in the asset master record. How can I make the cost center field changeable ?
Can anyone help me ?
Regards,
K.S.K

Hi Kattula,
We can change the cost center for AUC with Investment Measure. To do this you need to identify the relevant WBS element assigned to your asset. You can find the WBSE in Origin tab of your asset master record.
Then go to the change WBS element Transaction CJ12 and change the cost center. Once you change the cost center of the WBSE, the change would automatically get reflected in the correspondind asset master record.
This would solve your issue.
Thanks & Regards
