Assigning work centers to cost center

Hi, In a Z-report we found that one work center is assigned to more than one cost center. Pls advice how to ensure that particular work center is assigned to one cc only? pls advice.

Hi,
At any given point in time, you can assign one work center to one Cost center only..
The situation may so arise that, the Cost center walidity may be limited and we may be forced to change the Cost center afterwards in the work center..
Check with the Table: CRCO
Check the Cost center validity in the T.code: KS03.

Siva

Routings/Work Centers to Cost Center Relationship

Hi,
For routing, work center and cost center master data setup, is there a limitation on the number of:
Routings to cost centers?
Work centers to cost centers?
I want to find out if there are only a certain # of routings allowed when tie to a cost center, and same with work centers.
Thanks,
Alice

Hi,
Routing
A routing is a description of which operations (process steps) have to be carried out and in which order to produce a material (product).
Thus in routing contains details about the work centers at which they are carried out, standard value and component.
Therefore there is no limitation for assigning number of time for same work center.

The error message clearly says that "Cost Center validity starts from 01.10.2014" i.e. in the future period.
Change the cost center from period in the past date and try.

Work Order to cost center settlement with line item detail

Iu2019m having difficulty finding a method to settle from a work order to a cost center with line item detail. When an order is settled with KO88 or KO8G the total value for that work order/cost element combination is combined and posted to the cost center as a lump sum with the description of CTR\######. Users would like to see the individual values that posted to the work order in a cost center report such as KSB1.
I donu2019t see anything in the settlement rule, settlement profile or allocation structure that will allow line item settlement from work order to cost center. Is line item settlement possible when settling to a cost center? Is there an alternate way to see these expenses as line items in KSB1?
Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks Christian,
We've defined an allocation structure that we use for Project System and Work Order settlement and have Receiver Categories established as FXA, CTR and WBS with "by Cost Element" checked. Work order costs do settle to the cost center entered in the settlement rule, the problem is it combines all items values as a single amount when posting to the cost center.
For example:
expenses post to the work order under cost element 500000 for $500, $200, $300 and cost element 600000 for $250 and $250. The settlement rule says to settle to cost center 170000. When the settlement takes place cost center 170000 is debited $1000 to cost element 500000 and $500 to cost element 600000. We would prefer to see individual posting of $500, $200, $300 to 500000 and $250, $250 to 600000.
Thanks,
Jeff

Overtime assignment to a different cost center

Hello,
Scenario:
Overtime with different cost center
DWS: 0800 - 1700
Actual IN: 0800
Actual OUT: 2300
Approved OT: 1800 - 2400
Cost center: 10100 (This cost center is different from the cost center in IT0001) should be charged for the overtime only.
Given the scenario above, I could not use infotype 2002 (create an attendance type as overtime) since if i input 1800-2400 the system will valuate the whole six hours (6) as overtime (note: the system should only valuate 5 hours- 1800-2300; approved overtime with comparison to actual in/out).
If I will use infotype 2005, it will have the same behavior as it 2002. 1800-2400 will be paid.
If I will use infotype 2007 via the GOT function, it will valuate the overtime as 1800-2300 (approved overtime with comparison to actual in/out) correctly BUT i could not charged the corresponding cost center. I already checked the spro and it 2007's cost center could not be activated.
Do you have any ideas in mind? Any comments are appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
Thank you for your answers.
I am considering using IT2007 since it automatically distinguish which work should be valuated as overtime with regards to comparing the filed overtime (via input in IT2007) with regards to the time entries(clock in/out) of the employee.
Example:
if daily workschedule is 0800- 1700
actual in/out 0800 - 2300
entry in IT2007 is 1700 - 2400
The overtime that the system will recognize is 1700-2300.
Unlike in using IT2005, if i input 1700-2400, it will valuate 1700-2400 without considering the actual in/out of the employee.
I can manually change the IT2005 but the overtime of the employees which are assigned to another cost center are 1000+records in a day. If I manually edit the entries in IT2005, it will be very tedious. Same goes if it is via 2010.
Do you guys have other ideas in mind?
Btw, I am using positive time eval.
Thanks in advance.

Assign Business Area to cost center

HI Guru's
i would like to assign the business area to existing cost center, which is having some posted entries.
But system throws the below error message
"For change Business area is not possible (transaction data already exists)"
Pls help me
Rgds,

Hi,
You cannot change buisness area for a cost as this field is for each fiscal year. For example, you can change the field content for a new fiscal year by changing the validity period. Mean splitting the validity period provided there is no transaction data. The data in this field is always time-based.
This is to for the consistency of data in SAP.
Please also check out the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/EN/08/51457143b511d182b30000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
However, I think you can use substitution rule to subtitute business area in document level for cost center. I am not sure whether this will work.
Hope this helps.
Please assign points as a way to say thanks.

Where to assign GL Account to cost center?

Hello Friends,
Actually in MIGO T.C , I am issuing the material against the cost center.Now in MIGO T.C , in Account Assignment tab i give the cost center and other requied data and save.And in display mode when i check that document than by default system takes the GL Account.Now my question is where we assign the G/L Account to cost center?In FS00 T.C i checked in Edit cost element for that account, there in Default account assignment , no cost center is maintained.So from where system is picking this G/L Account?
Thanks and Regards,
Jitendra Dilip Chauhan

Hi Jitendra,
This setting is made in OBYC. This actually MM & FI integration.
You check this in OBYC.
1.First check your valuation class in material master.
2.Then goto OBYC.
3. Double click on GBB transaction key
4.This will pop up chart of account.Maintain chart of account & enter.
5.Here you will see that GL account for combination of Genral modification VBR & Valuation class.
VBR: for internal goods issues (for example, for cost center)
That means whenever you do Goods issue of material for cost center which having same valuation class,this GL account will be automatically assigned.
Hope this clear you.
Regards,
Raja.

What is the different between account assignment P Project & K Cost center?

Hi ,
I need to raise a PR and PO for repairing damge of our Project's Product.
In this stituation, I should create PR with account assigment P (Project) or K (Cost center)?
Thanks

Hi,
Material are procured as stock or non-stock materials. When you procure material which can be used in production of finished product ,stock is maintained.
Account assignment category describes how the procured material is being used (for eg: Cost Center, Sales Order, etc). It also determines how the accounting entries made when a GR document or IR document is posted.
When you use the Account Assignment Category "K", it means the material is allocated to a cost center for consumption. The Materials is accounted to the particular cost center.
Account Assignment Category "P" is used for materials that are required for the project related.
Hope it helps.

CO Account Assignment: Profit Centers and Cost Centers Assignment

Hello Experts,
I am trying to understand profit/cost center assignment at the contract level. My client has requirement to assign them based on utility type. So I was wondering should I assign them during move-in at contract? Any suggestions would be of great help.
Thanks.
Kind Regards,
Nikhil J.

Nikhil:
Firstly - the assumption here is that 'utility type' equates exactly to contract or service. If not, then assignment is not appropriate, and should be looked at in the account assignment EK01.
If it is equivalent, then you can use various ways of defaulting depending on the initiator. If CRM, then it can be filled in CRM and passed to ERP or filled by the MDT when bdoc is processed in ERP. If ERP then it can be filled with CMOD enhancement.
There is no configuration for assignment default at contract level, only at charge level.

bill.

Account assignment category Asset to Cost Center in po items

Hey,
We have a Question how to handle this Exception:
We have purchase order items with the account assignment category "A - Asset" and we have created Asset master data. Later, this assignment category is changed to "K - Cost Center". But the Asset Master Data is still there.
How to handle this in the future? Do we have to delete the purchase order items with the account assignment category "A - Asset" and have to create new items with assignment category "K - Cost Center"?
Thanks!

Hi
Once you change the acct assnment category to K, then there is no need for asset master. You can take help of your FICO consultant for deleting the asset master. You changed acct assnment in PO?
Thanks

Cost Center, Work Center and Profit Center

Hi ALL,
Can any one please explain me the concept of Cost Center, Work Center and Profit Center.
And where and when do I assign the cost center???
Amit

Hi Check the following "
Cost centers represent areas of responsibility where costs are incurred or where responsibility for costs may be assigned. They represent the smallest unit of responsibility within the organizational structure of an enterprise.
A cost center can be pictured as a cost bucket such as a department, product line, production stage or geographical area.
An unlimited number of cost centers may be created.
All cost centers within on controlling area have to be assigned to a cost center hierarchy (standard hierarchy).
Costs originally posted to one cost center may be distributed and assessed to one or more other cost centers using allocations.
How are costs assigned/posted to a cost center?
External financial accounting documents created in FI, AM or MM that post to a G/L expense account can be configured to require a cost center assignment be entered at the time of transaction entry. The system automatically creates a parallel CO document that posts to the indicated cost center.
Cost elements master records can be configured to be posted to a certain cost center (automatic account assignment).
In addition, other non-financial activity (i.e., direct labor hours) may be posted directly to cost centers from within CO or via other modules such as PP or HR

Cost Center Assignment-OrgManagement

Dear experts,
I have created Org Units, and I have assigned multiple Suborgunits and under those suborgunits, and I have maintained multiple positions.
Now i have assigned Cost Centers at each suborgunit level, since each suborgunit(Department) is a separte cost, and I have not assigned any cost center to the Main Org unit(which are Head office,multipleLocations ). Just assigned Cost center at suborg unit level.
And now when i am hiring an employee and select the Position, under the suborgunit, which I have assigned the cost center and when the prompt goes to Org Assignment Infotype, this system doesnt pick the Cost center assignment that as assigned to it in Org managment.
Can any you guide me if I need to follow any other process in Cost Center assignment, so that my problem gets rectified.
Thanks,
KishoreJ.

Hi Renato,
Are you using the same cost center for more than one org unit?
Yes absolutely, I am using the Same cost Center for more than one Org Unit, for clear understanding
My org structure is this
I have ABC-Org Unit,(Company) under that I have Sub orgunit which are Multiple locations (Paris,London,Berlin,Chicago etc.,) and under those suborgunits, I again have multiple Org Units(Departments(Legal,HR,Admin,Sales etc.,) and these Departments mentioned would be there for all Locataions. So, Under Paris, I have HR,Sales etc., and even In London I have HR,Sales etc.,)
Now Finance has given me only One Cost Center per each Department Like HR corporate, Sales Corporate etc.,)
Although I have multiple orgunits Like Berlin,Paris and under them I have same suborgunits, HR,Sales etc., where I use HR,Sales or other departments, I need to only assign only one Corporte Cost Center which is being given to me against each Department(HR,Sales,IT etc.,) no matter wheter it is Paris HR department or Chicago HR department they only gave me one Cost center for HR and I need to only assign this Cost Center against any HR department across the company.
When hiring the employee and in infotype 0001 the system brings you a different cost center, have you checked in ppose if the cost center assigned to that org unit and the one in infotype 0001 are the same?
I have checked in PPOSE, although I assign Cost Centers to Org Units and save I can view the assignments done in this transaction code but when I hiire an employee by giving the position under its relevent Org unit (either for Paris or chicago) in 000 and when I go to 0001-Org assignment, the Cost Center assigment which I have done, is not getting picked up and its not getting reflected in 0001
Please answer these questions because I'm getting the feeling that your problem is the time constraint of the relationship K B011 O.
I don't know what is this. Please guide me on this.
Regards,
KishoreJ.
