Assigning cost center to material and GL

I have two material 100 and 200 and two material X and Y.
I would like to make the setting that when material 100 is used it should go to GL X and Cost center 500 and whe material 200 is used it should go to GL Y and cost center 500.
Substitution is the last thing which I can do.
But have been told to assign cost center in the accoutnig veiw of material master and then make assign gl to Material in type in VKOA or OBYC.
Can anyone let me know how to do this
thanks

Hi Ravana
You can assign profit center in the material master and not cost center.
As far I know there is no standard settings other substitution which would satisfy your requirement.
Even VKOA or OBYC only satisfies upto the GL Account and not the cost center part. You can assign gl accounts to various movements of the said materials.

Difference between cost center for material and sale order

Hi,
I'm having an issue related to profit center. Our business of Reverse Logistics Process is taking the wrong profit center which should be taken from sale order master data, not from material master data as currently. As a developer, I'm confused the definition of profit center in this case. What are the differences between the profit center defined in sale order and in material ?
Thanks,
Paulb

Hi Paul
SAP allows you to change the PC in the sales order... If you dont change, it adopts the PC from Mat Master
You can define substitution of PC for sales order in 0KEM and assign them in 0KEL... You can change the PC based on Sales Org, Dist Channel, Division, etc
For a more complex logic, you can also use an exit

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....

Assign cost center to cost collector

Dear all,
My client wants to see material cosumption report cost center wise. We have maintained Repetetive manufacturing process. MFBF is tcode we use to post GI and GR with back flush .
Where do we assign cost center to the cost collecter and how do we get the material consumption report.
Can any one help me please....
B.S.Rao

Dear Rao,
Generally the bulk material's that are directly available at the work center are issued to the cost center using 201 movement
through T Code MB1A.
In REM scenario all the Goods issue happens at the time of backflushing through T Code MFBF,and a product cost collector will
be used as a cost collecting object for the same.
In my understanding there is no possibility of assinging or linking a PCC and a cost center.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

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?

> ok...to achieve this atleast should have different profit center for each assets..do you have? if so..... Then come to OKB9 in the acct assignment column give value 3 and in the subdialouge box click on Details per profit center wise ....there you can give cost center per prctr.

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
Nandha
help.sap.com

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 .

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.

Cost center validity change and assign it to new company code

Hello
We are having 10 Cost centers in 1000 Company code, And validity of these cost centers is .01.01.2001 to 31.12.9999.
Now business want to create one more company code 2000. and wants to extend these same cost centers to 2000 company code also. But as per SAP std Cost center extention is not possible , bcz cost center can use by only one company code.
Now Company is saying that..they wants the same number for new company code from 23.09.2010 to 31.12.9999..
system is not allow me to change validity period of these cost centers, bcz these saying that the cost center is already defined for given period.
Beacuse new company code will start working from 24.09.2010. so i,e the reason , we want to make example "2561 cost center validity 01.01.2001 to 22.09.2010 for company code 1000. then after words 23.09.2010 to 31.12.9999 the same cost center 2561 will for 2000 company code.
but system is not allowing me to change the validity
Regards
Mahesh

Hi Mangesh
What you wish is not possible.. You will have to create new cost center and assign to the new company code...
may be for simplicity sake, you can add a prefix or suffix to the existing cost center no i.e Cost Ctr 2356 can become N2356 in new comp code

Cost Center in MIRO and MIGO

Hi All,
1) A PO is created with one line item on cost center 10010.
2) Discount condition of 10% is used in CONDITIONS
3) On doing MIGO, material is charged on 10010 while discount line item is charged on 10020 as defined in OKB9
4) On doing MIRO, both material and discount line is charged on 10010
Is there's something missing in MIRO as discount line should be charged to 10020 rather on 10010?
Looking forward to resolve this issue.
Warm Regards,
Nayab

Hi Raghavendra,
Thanks for your response.
As per the configuration,
I have a PO of Single Item.
In Item Details I have used Cost Element 900102 & Cost Center 10020 in Account Assignment Tab and
Condition of 10% discount is used in Conditions Tab.
When I do MIGO, I get the following entries
Expense Account 900102 agains cost center 10020
Discount Account 900106 against cose center 10055
GR/IR Account 400203
Cost center 10055 is derived as cost element 900106 is assigned this cost center in KA03 as well as OKB9
When I do MIRO, following entries are the result
Vendor Account 55252
Gr/IR Account 400203
Discount Account 900106 against cost center 10020
This cost center should be same as in MIGO due to configuration in Master Data (Txn KS03)
or cost center in MIGO should be same as in MIRO (i.e. derived from the PO)
If I put no cost center in KS03 (master data) or OKB9 against 900106 cost element, it prompts to assign CO to this account while doing MIGO.
Looking foward for assistance in resolving this issue.
Warm Regards,
Nayab

Comparing Cost Center in ME23N and Goods Receipt document

Hi,
I do not have much functional knowledge in MM and I want to clarify following queries.
I have to build a report that displays the Purchase order value and goods receipt value by cost center ( in the same output screen).
In tcode ME23N of ECC, for any Purchase order item , we can display cost center in Account Assignment tab.( Same appears in table EKKN.)
Also, in the purchase order History tab of ME23N, we can check GR ( Goods redeipt ) and IR ( invoice receipt )documents. ( This GR and IR information is stored in table EKBE.)
My first query is :
if a PO item has cost center 'C1' associated with this ( in account assignment tab of ME23N), can it be possible that goods receipt document for that PO item has different cost center than C1.
i.e. is it mandatory that goods receipt ( GR ) document has the same cost center as that of corresponding purchase order item ?
While posting the goods receipt, is it possible to edit the cost center in GR document so that after posting GR, PO item shows cost center C1 but GR document shows cost center C2 for that PO item.
My second query is :
If above scenario is possible, then there must be a table that holds the cost center infomation for a GR document. I would appreciate if anyone can share the table name.
( like we have EKKN for storing cost center of Purchase order item ).
Thanks,
Tarun Brijwani.

Dear Tarun,
Below is the answer to your query:-
My first query is :
if a PO item has cost center 'C1' associated with this ( in account assignment tab of ME23N), can it be possible that goods receipt document for that PO item has different cost center than C1.
Not Possible
i.e. is it mandatory that goods receipt ( GR ) document has the same cost center as that of corresponding purchase order item ?
Yes
While posting the goods receipt, is it possible to edit the cost center in GR document so that after posting GR, PO item shows cost center C1 but GR document shows cost center C2 for that PO item.
No
My second query is :
If above scenario is possible, then there must be a table that holds the cost center infomation for a GR document. I would appreciate if anyone can share the table name.
( like we have EKKN for storing cost center of Purchase order item ).
Not possible to have 2 cost center per line item and the cost center per lin item must be same with the cost center when you do MIGO. As a result of that, there is no table where it can store 2 cost center for each line item. Unless you are creating a service PO line item where it required sharing of cost center for the particular services or even asset.
Thank you
Regards

Where to change the cost center in material document?

Hi everyone,
I have a problem. Last month, I've created a new business area, with its own division and cost center.
In the test client, the whole process of creating requisition, PO, goods receive, cancel goods receive (return to vendor), create sales order, delivery and goods issue went well.
But, today, when one of my users tried to cancel goods receive (movement type 102), the following error message was displayed:
KMXX/KM11 CTR belong to business area M110 not M140.
Since the PO was created for a stock item, there is no account assignment, so I am wondering if I have missed out something in configuration, especially in defining account assignment for automatic posting? Can anyone help?
Thank you very much.
Anisah

HI,
There should have been some changes done in the system after thr initial docs were created.
Please ensure that the said cost centre of interest is assigned to the appropriate Business area.
The error seems to be an invalid combination of the Business area to the cost centre.
If not then please maintain the same.
Hope this helps.

Set Up Variable Layout for Account Assignment Objects
The travel expenses accounting dialog contains the option to record cost assignment specifications for the complete trip, additional destinations (stopovers), receipts and the kilometer/miles distribution.
The user is provided with two options for this purpose: The entry area Alternative Cost Assignment to Master Cost Center in the travel expenses dialog, or the Enhanced Cost Assignment function.
Travel Management offers five different coding blocks that you can use to control the cost assignments within Travel Expenses accounting.
In this IMG activity you define the screen layout for the account assignment objects - the selection and order of these objects. In addition you can specify the field characteristics for each of the account assignment objects.
You can make these settings in relation to a specific user or the organizational assignment of the employee.
To do this, copy the return value from the feature TRVCO as a variable key into the key of the fields with which you want to set up the coding block.
Note
The feature TRVCO is only evaluated during screen layout of a coding block if it is assigned to the corresponding function module in the view Screen modification for assignment data. This view can be accessed using the entry Check assignment of feature TRVCO to coding blocks in the selection screen for the IMG activity Set up variable layout for account assignment object
In the standard version feature TRVCO is assigned to function modules. You should not change the following assignments:
Coding Block for Function Module
Cost assignment specification: Complete Trip RP_TRAVEL_COBL_1700
Cost assignment specification: Receipts RP_TRAVEL_COBL_1701
Cost assignment specification: Destinations RP_TRAVEL_COBL_1702
Cost assignment specification: Miles/KMs Distrib. RP_TRAVEL_COBL_17
Activities
1. Check the assignment of feature TRVCO to the function modules for the coding blocks using the appropriate action in this activity.
2. You can create new entries as follows:
a) Choose the action Account assignment object: Cost assignment specification: <appropriate entry area> in this IMG activity.
b) In the variable key field, enter the required return value from the feature TRVCO.
c) Enter the name of the field needed in the Variable name field.
d) Specify the field attributes for the field.
