Assigning Cost Centers to Automatic postings

Hi,
We have a situation where we want to make the 'cost center' field a required field, for all GL postings.
However, If I just change the the config setting in the field status code, there are automatic postings from SD, MM etc. that may be blocked from being posted.
I did some searching around the forums, but I can't find a way to address this issue. For a goods movement, the system can assign a GL account number using the account determination. But is there also a way to assign Cost Centers to these postings?
Does OKB9 handle these postings from MM/SD? Or is it only for automatic postings such as exchange rate differences and tax?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Sam

hi Sam,
OKB9 handles any automatic postings (MM, SD, etc.), just give it a try! Of course it only works for P/L accounts, not for B/S ones. It does not make much sense to post controlling objects on B/S accounts (at least for me).

  • Assignt cost centers to PSG

    Assignt cost centers to PSG
    Hi Experts.
    i create a derivation rule in COPA, and assign Cost centers in it for posting of expenses.
    when i post a document in FB60, and assign respective cost center the profit segment is not active.
    i assign the cost element (ctg "1") in OKB9 with the check on PSG. and post the document in FB60, the PSG is active in that case,
    i want to specify some cost centers which automatically active PSG in FI posting.
    Hope you understand my query.
    regards
    MuR!!!!

    Thank you all for your help.
    We don't have Cost center as Default Acct Assignment for Cost element. So, as per Rajneesh advice, can't we restrict GL posting to cost center and allow revenue which is statistical value  if I activate following settings in Cost center?  Please correct me if I making any mistake.

    How to delete the one of cost centers in Splitting Structure(OKEW)?
    Jocha

    Hi Chang
    Welcome to SDN! Its our pleasure to help you here
    Step 1: Select your Cost Center in OKEW which is assigned to the Splitting Str
    Eg: Cost Ctr 1001 is assigned to Splitting Str Z1... Tick the Check box against 1001 under Z1 Splitting Str
    Step 2: Do a Single Click on the text "Non Assigned Cost Centers"
    Step 3: Press Shift +F6 (Or Click on the Assign Button, next to the Pencil icon)

  • Issue in updating Cost Centers for Employees

    Hi All,
    1.     Is it necessary that infotype 0000 & 0001 needs to be in synchronization i.e. both the infotypes should contain same no. of records?
    2.     Is it necessary to assign cost center to both the position and the employee in infotype 0027 for Payroll purpose or either of one assignment is sufficient? What is the purpose of assigning cost center to a position & cost center to an employee in infotype 0027
    3.     We have assigned cost centers to positions & all the employees via infotype 0027. Now I have a situation that the company has created new cost centers as per their business line with effect from Jan 2011. How do I update these new cost centers to position as well as all the employees?
    If I assign new cost center to all the positions thru PO13 from 01.01.2011 than system delimits the record in infotype 0001 so now there is 1 record in infotype 0000 & 2 records in infotype 0001. For example an employee is hired on 01.03.2009 with cost center A assigned to his position & in infotype 0027. Now if I assign new cost center B to his position than the system delimits hiring record in infotype 0001. So now there are 2 records in infotype 0001 i.e. 01.03.2009 to 31.12.2010 & second is 01.01.2011 to 31.12.9999. If I do the assignment of new cost centers only in infotype 0027 then system posts the payroll result to old cost center rather than new cost centers. How to resolve this issue?
    Regards,
    VG

    1. Yes. It should be. But in your case this is an exception. It will still work even if the 0000 and 0001 don't have the same number of records.
    2. You should only use it0027 if an employee is charging costs to two or more cost centers. You can define here the cost centers where they are charging and the percentage of division between cost centers
    If you dont have scenarios like this, DO NOT use this infotype.
    For assignment of cost centers to employee (Infotype 1) or to positions (via PO13). You should only use one method. If you are assigning the cost center manually in IT0001 during hiring then you don't need to enter the cost center in the positions.
    If you are entering the cost center in the Positions objects, then configure the system so that everytime you do hiring actions (or maintain infotype 1) the cost center assigned to the position is inherited in the infotype 1's cost center field.
    Don't assign it to both Infotype 1 manually and the position at the same time, using this method, you'll eventually have data inconsistencies.
    For you issue regarding the delimitation of the IT0001, this is ok. This is standard, the infotype 1 is delimited since you have a new cost center assignment for the succeeding period.  You don't have to create an Action record since there was no employee movement, only change in cost center assignment. (which is the purpose of the Action infotype-- to record employee movement)
    It won't mess with your payroll, your infotype 1 just have an extra record.

  • No postings on profit centers or cost centers or both

    Hi!
    I will assin points for every reasonable answer!
    This is the problem.
    We are on ECC6.0 - new GL is NOT activated!
    We have tons of cost center and profit center problems - sometimes there are no postings on profit center, sometimes there are no postings on cost centers, but it goes to Dummy profit center. sometimes there are no posting on profit AND cost center....it is not even going to dummy.
    Where do i start fixing it?
    I know there can be multiple problems, but please help me to start looking.....What are the steps of fixing it?
    Any ideas?

    There are all types of issues:
    -Sometimes JE are not having profit center assigned to revenue accounts (and it wouldn't go to dummy)
    -Every time production order settlement will go to dummy for the part of the cost that comes from the Purchase order ( the rest of the cost would go to the profit center assigned in the production order master data)
    -Customer deposits wtire offs (that i think is the user error too)
    -Material Scrap transactions
    So, most of the errors require user training. But, whatever is in the system need to be fixed, right?
    What are the reports i can execute to see all the differences?
    What is the best way to monitor it from happening?

  • Assignment of cost centers and profit centers

    Hi Friends,
    can anybody give me a series of steps of assignment of cost centers and profit centers, like I know there is a T.code 3KEH, but I really dont know the chronological (step by step) order of steps to be followed to assign the cost centers to profit centers, as profit centers cannot be directly posted to and as the postings.
    And above all when I see the info about 3KEH, it says we need to assign only balance sheet items there and not cost items.
    Basically I've not studied Profit center accounting Properly and so I'm facing this problme
    If there is any documentation on this can anyone pass this on to: kiransandhyaATyahooDOTcom
    regards
    sandhya

    Hi Sridhar,
    Thnx for replying. I've gone ahead and defined cost and profit centers and did what you have told me to. Now this is where I'm stranded. How do I map profit and cost centers so that the we get the right kind of reports.
    Basically, my question would be: say for eg: if we are defining Company, Co.Code, before completing with Global paramters, there are a series of steps that we need to complete, right.
    Like wise, I just wanted to have a series of mandatory steps that I need to follow where the cost centers and profit centers mapping is done, atleast if I have the steps with me then I can go ahead and check the logic as to why should I define a particular step.
    Like I mentioned I happened to see some information about 3KEI, so before going to 3KEI or 3KEH, are there any other steps that I need to follow.
    I need to get the cost center and profit center reports, so that is what I'm looking for, and what do i need to configure, before getting to that point?
    I dont have a great insight into PCA, and I was not a part of the controlling configuration, but because a person has left in between the project, I'm supposed to do this and that is the reason why I dont have much time in doing R&D, and thats the whole reason why I'm seeking inputs which would actually minimise my time of R&D, once I'm able to convince my people, then again I can sit back and try to improvise my self.

  • Apportionment of wages to diff Cost Centers automatically

    Hi,
    Supposing if an employee has worked in 30 different cost centers in a month how the wages are posted to 30 different cost centers in that particular month.  Since only one cost center is maintained in the personnel master(under infotype- organisational assignment) how the wages can be distributed to 30 cost centers automatically and reflected in controlling module.
    Regards,
    Aravind Boddupalli

    Hi,
    I suggest to use CO distribution (T-code KSV5) to distribute the employees cost from the HR employees master data cost center to the receiving cost center(s).
    Pick up the sender / receiver relation from your "other application" and post a statistical key figure in SAP using "BAPI_ACC_STAT_KEY_FIG_POST" (I don't think you will do it manually using KB31N).

  • Multiple cost centers postings in RE-FX.

    Hello everyone!
    We are currently implementing SAP Flexible Real Estate solution to manage the company's properties. We are facing some problems regarding the distribution of rental costs among multiple costs centers. Our scenario is basically this (example):
    1)In our usage view we have one building with three rental spaces connected to it. Each rental space has different area-measurements and represents different segments in our company (with a specific cost-center associated to it).
    2)The company doesn`t own the building, the structure is rented from a person outside the organization. In this case we`ve created a Commercial lease-in type of contract (external contract, where the company is the user of the object).
    3)This contract contains the three rental spaces mentioned above, and we've configured the contract condition to distribute the rental costs among these objects based on the area measurement.
    4)When we perform transaction RERAPP for this contract to pay the vendor we`ve noticed that even though the costs where divided among the objects, the cost-centers were not updated.
    Considering that the contract doesn't have a cost center field in it and also considering that we have to update multiple cost-centers (with a distribution criteria based on measurements), we would like to know if someone have this kind of problem before?
    We are using an older version of the SAP System(4.7) that doesn't offer as many options as more recent versions (such as 6.0)
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    In this case, instead of Cost centres, Real estate Objects will act as the Cost carriers. No need for Cost centres at all.
    Since the Real Estate Objects master data contain Profit centre field, the values posted to Real estate Objects will be automatically carried to the Profit centres as well.
    During Periodic processing of Real Estate Contracts, the system will automatically post to the Transfer and Posting. During transfer posting values will be posted from Real Estate Contract to the Real estate Object.
    You can track costs and revenues through Real Estate Objects directly, No need for Cost centres at all.
    Thanks

  • Scrap Sales GL , which type of cost centers need to assign in OKB9

    Dear Seniors,
    G L account : Scrap Sales:
    For this  GL a/c ,  cost  element created  with  Cost element category u201C11u201D (Revenues).
    Now in OKB9   i want to make assignments:
    With each b.area and  cost centers.
    Now my doubt is :
    In OKB9  which type of cost center I need to assign from the below.
    1.Cost center should be with
    Cost  cntr category u201CFu201D  (Production)
    Or
    2.Cost center category u201DVu201D (Sales)
    and another doubts is , in Cost center -control tab: Actual revenues check box,  should i select or not in any case.
    Please clarify my doubt.
    Thanks in Adv

    Hi,
    As scrap sales are revenue to the company, undernoted  things to be noted here :
    1.  The cost element category is V - Sales and the control indicator actual revenues box to be unticked.
         The posting will be statistical for revenue elements.
    2.  The revenue recognition has to be equally done in VKOA for the account assignment of this account.
    3.  You can create a seperate order type for scrap sales and a sales pricing procedure in SD.
    4.  Check whether the scraps are defined to capture Tax Collected at Source, if so, you have to define
         condition types for them too.
    5.  If the material itself is defined as scrap material then in Material master the Profit Center would have
         been assigned and to capture the revenue assign the scrap sales revenue in VKOA.

  • Assign Account assignment category to multiple cost centers in SRM

    Hi All,
    We are Implementing SRM 5.5, Extended Classic Scenario for Goods and Services (Stock and Consumables).
    I have 400 cost centers. How to assign G/L Accounts to multiple cost centers, in Define G/L Accounts for Account assignment category and Product category?.
    I guess, By using BADI - BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT. If this is correct, Do we have to develop any ZTABLE for this. Or only BADI enough?.
    Please anyone explain details.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Thanks & Regards,
    John.
    Edited by: johnmiller465 on Aug 21, 2009 8:32 AM

    Hi,
    Cost Center is related with user. Setting is attributes in PPOMA_BBP.
    G/L account is related with Product category and Account Assignment Category. Setting is in standard customizing table.
    If standard customizing is not enough, you can use BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT BADI.

  • STATISTICAL POSTINGS repost between cost centers

    STATISTICAL POSTINGS repost between cost centers.
    I try to repost statistical postings in a cost center with KB11N tr., but I can´t because the original cost center (sender) still have the statistical postings and the receiver cost center will have the reposted amount like real posting intead of statistical posting.
    When I run the KB11N I fill with the cost element (the same), the sender and receiver cost centers and the original order but I can´t repost like statistical posting in the receiver cost center.
    There is another transaction to respost statistical postings between cost centers?
    B.Regards
    Francisco

    Hi Ajay,
    This is the first thing that I try when I run FK11N tr.
    Real Cost Ctr (43424) , Statistical Order (4024332) and primary cost element (307015) --> I have statistical postings to repost
    What I want is :
    Real Cost Ctr (43398) , Statistical Order (4024332) and primary cost element (307015) must be the same--> I need the statis. post.
    *If I run KB11N , only with the sender, (43424), and receiver, (43398), cost centers I will have:
    1. In the original (sender) cost center ,43424, I still have the statistical postings
    2. In the Receiver cost center as 43398--> I will have the statistical posting for reposting like real posting intead of statistical postings.
    This is because I try also with the original order the tr. KB11N and the reason of this message.

  • Funds Center assignment to Cost Centers

    I'm implementing FM (PSM) in a company that is controlling their expenses only at a cost element level using generic cost centers.  Is it possible to assign a generic cost center to more than one fund center and differentiate them due to the commitment items?
    Thanx
    Mariano.

    Hi
    The relation ship betwen Fund Center & Cost Center is 1 : N. that is One fund center can be assgned to many cost centers but one cost center should be assigned to only one fund center. So i dont think it is possible. If its elpful, plz assign points.

  • Block postings to cost centers that have exceeded budget

    Hello
    How to block postings to cost centers that have exceeded budget?
    How can you make this assessment? Monthly, yearly or both?
    Thanks!!

    Hi,
    The budget in cost centres does not have availability control. You can use a workaround with internal oders. Please, search SDN for this info. No monthly control is possible in standard configuration with this option.
    If you choose to implement FM, then budget control flexibility there is quite powerful and you can build whatever logic you want. Just make notice, that the budget won't be managed in cost centres, but in FM objects (fund centres, commitment items, etc.)
