Assignment of Cost object

Hi Gurus,
I am using one controlling area for 4 for a group of companies with 4 company codes. When i am assigning some co object to a particular GL account that is creating the problem for other company codes. For Example:
Controlling Area 1234.
Gl account : 9000 4444( expenses) for 4 company codes "same"
Already created 4 cost centres for each company code with the same number, only initial has changed. Like for company 1 it is 1000 1234, for 2nd company 2000 1234 so on.
Now when they are processing they are facing problem for a different company code.
Pls provide me the solution.
Satya.

Hi Satya
In the cost element master, you can specify only one cost center as both company codes are assigned to same controlling area.
In this case you need to specify default cost center using t code OKB9, wherein you will be able to specify default cost center per company code.
Award points, if useful.

Check on Cost elements assigned to cost objects

Cost assignment-Multiple cost objects being selected by default from the EP

Hi,
I have created an expense report from the Portal and entered the cost object - a WBS element and saved the report. Now, when I check in table: PTRV_SCOS, it shows me the cost object assigned are - both - the WBS Element as well as the Cost center. This is incorrect as there should be only one cost object - either the cost center or the WBS element. However, when I book the expenses from the backend, it works fine. Only the WBS or cost center is displayed in the table mentioned above. Anyone has any idea as to why this is happening?
Many thanks in advance for your efforts.
Cheers guys.
Hope to hear from you soon

Hi All,
First of all, thanks for your responses..
Right, about the issue, what I explained here was that I am indeed assigning only one cost object: the WBS element. The issue was that even though I am assigning only the WBS element, it was also assigning the cost to the cost center by default. I did some R&D and found the solution to the issue (I was also asked to look for OSS notes but was not satisfied that this issue needs an OSS note to be applied so tried my solution). The issue was in table: T788M (allocate costs to variable account assignment). Here, I created an entry and called it USERGROUP_2 (just a random name) and assigned the variable cost objects (only the WBS and the Cost center) to be displayed. In the next step, I assigned this usergroup to the country in quesion feature (TRVCO). By doing this, I tell the system that only these cost objects are to be considered when an employee wants to assign the cost object. If the system sees that there is no value from the drop down to choose from, it picks up the default cost object (cost center). This was a simple issue that I had to rattle my brains on... but the solution I mention above worked like a hot knife going through butter...
If you guys face this issue, please try this else feel free to get in touch with me on my number below.
Once again, thanks for your responses.

Mass Material Assignment to Cost Object Hierarchy

Hi,
I have to assign the materials to Cost Object Hierarchy. I know that it is done thorugh TC- KKPHIE.
But if I have to assign more than 1000 materials at a time , I cannot do that in mass.
I tried to do it thorugh LSMW. The system is not allowing it to create LSMW.
I am stuck. Please let me know is there any other method of material assignment in mass.
Or any other transaction code.
Hoping to hear

Hi Ravi,
I have tried using LSMW and BDC. Its not working.
Is there any other transcation of material Assignment to Cost Object Hierarchy.

Sale of Material - Assignment to Cost Object Error

Dear Forum,
The users while trying to do the PGI, encountered the error - "Account xxxxx requires an assigment to Cost Objet". However, when we check the Material Master, for doing the OKB9 maintenance, we get the message 'Costing View' not maintained for thie material. How could be the reason and how can we address this issue.
Another issue is that the posting is going to the wrong GL Account, which is mentioned in the aforesaid error message. How can we check the MM Account Determination to verify the correctness of the GL Account for posting of the Cost of Sales at the time of PGI.
Thanks for the help.
Regards

Hi,
Use transaction code: KA02: enter G/L account xxxxx(Cost element) and in default acct assinmt TAB,assign the Cost Center and save.
Now try ur transaction.
OR
Check the field status of the account in FS00. If this account requires CO object as mandatory then check whether a cost element is created or not , this error normally occurs when CO object is mandatory but relevant cost element is not created.
Example: CO object may be cost center, cost element, WBS element
OR
Use t.code OKB9 and assign G/L account to cost object with ur company code and save.

Assign cost object by condition type for accounting

Hello All,
Our scenario is that we have a single billing line with a service order assigned as the cost object on the line item. This line has multiple condition types going to different GL accounts on the RV document.
Once the service order is on the billing line all of the RV document lines get the same service order for cost object assignment We want to assign different cost objects (service order, internal order) to the different lines on the RV document based on the GL account.
Example:
Billing document line 10
Material 123456
Service order 999999
Condition type           GL                      Desired Cost Object
ZZ01                      480000                  999999 - service order
ZZ03                      560000                  11111 - internal order
ZZ04                      470000                  999999 - service order
ZZ05                      440000                   22222 - internal order
We have the multiple GLs getting assigned, it is just the cost object on the RV document that is a problem. Is there a way to do this in config...or is a user exit the only option?
Thanks in advance!
Edited by: Allison Sains on Jan 20, 2012 7:01 PM

Thanks for the response. It looks like we're going to try and rework the account assignment so a user exit is not required (use OKB9 instead).

Error in Distribution of Actual cost in Cost Object Hierarchy

Hi,
I am getting an error while doing the Distribution of Actual cost from Cost Object Node to the assigned Order.
Cost element/origin 630000 could not be distributed
Message no. KZ468
Diagnosis
The cost element/ origin 630000 could not be distributed because there are no target costs for this cost element/origin or for cost element group CO-PC-TOT.
Procedure
Check the calculated target costs and cost element group CO-PC-TOT assigned to the target cost version.
Procedure for System Administration
Proceed
Although the Cost element is Present in cost element group CO-PC-TOT.
One more information, the order that is assigned in Cost Object Hierarchy is of CO-Product orders.
I have searched in the forum but I havent got any solution.
Kindly help.
regards
Kami

Hi,
Concerning error message KZ 468, it has the following origin: In the customizing of the cost object category (transaction okz5), check if the 'single object selection' is set to 'Control through variance key'. If you consider the F1-Help for this option you will find the following explanation:
if the indicator Control through variance key is turned on, the production order, process order, or product cost collector can only be assigned to the cost object hierarchy if:
-> The material is assigned to the lowest node of the hierarchy
-> No variance key is specified in the order
The important point is, that orders that have a variance key are excluded from the cost distribution.
In transaction KKF8 you will find that all these orders do indeed have a variance key. Hence, all of these orders are included, there are no target costs from the orders and the costs cannot be distributed. Thus the error message kz 468.
Please consider that and check the customizing again.
Not having target costs in the distribution indicates either a wrong set up of the hierarchy or, more likely, no valid cost estimate for a certain material of a production order or product cost collector could be found.
Did you check whether for this cost element/origin target costs exist, and also for the cost element group? If not the message KZ468 is correct and probably the cost element group has to be maintained properly.
The distribution of actual costs calculates target costs on-the-fly and the variance calculation does not have to be carried out before. Quite the opposite than the variance calculation requires the distribution as a preceding step. Furthermore it is not sufficient that one cost element is in a cost element group but the interval where the cost element has been assigned to has to have some target costs. Otherwise this won't work and message KZ468 is issued.

Cost object for raw material consumption posting

the raw material cosumption posting is done in the background when the goods issue is done. so where do we assign cost object for the primary cost element of raw material consumption account. since we create primary cost element for raw material consumption account, it will expect us to give cost object, so where we assign cost object for the raw material consumption cost element

hi
since the raw material cost is relevent for cost accounting u need to maintain primary cost elment accounts.When ever u confirm goods, the rm issue will take place automatically and will be debited to either product cost collector or production order. so u need not to assign any cost object for these consumption accounts why bcoz issues will take palce aganist a production order or product cost collector which is a cost object .

Use of PS-Module: Cost object discussion

Hello,
i have a question regarding the use of PS-Module.
I would like to know if in your company you experienced any problem (in controlling or somewhere else) when posting to a variety of different cost objects. For example: wbs-element, sales order, internal order and network.
SAP is offering a lot of possibilities how to customize a system. That means i could run similar processes with different assignment to cost objects. I would like to know how you think about that topic and what experience you made.

Hi,
As you rightly said the SAP is providing different different cost objects to be posted.
based on the company requirement we have to choose the process.

Exchange Revaluation - Assigmnet to Cost Object

Hi,
We have defined the Account Determination for the exchange Gain Loss revaluation of open items at the month end. The GL Account defined in the Account Determination is carrying a Cost Element. When the users do the Exchange Gain Loss revaluation, the system gives an error message 'Advising that the Account requires assignment to Cost Object'.
Could any one advise as to how we can maintain the settings for automatic assignment of Cost Center to a GL Code used for Exchange Gain Loss revaluation.

Hi,
In OKB9 default account assignment screen you can assign common cost center code to that cost element permanently.
Try once, assign points if useful.

In VFX3,error is for GL requires an assignment to a cost object eventhough

In VFX3, while releasing billing docu for Accounting error is for GL40000000 requires an assignment to a cost object
The below are Checked points :
1.In OKB9 for this cost element 40000000 cost center assignments are there with Business area wise.
2.Cost center Valid period is from 1.4.2007 to 31.12.9999
in the begining while releasing in VFX3, system throwed error as that cost center blocked for revenue postings,
We deselected that check box(Actual Revenues in KS02)
now the error is GL 4000000 requires an assignment to a cost object
Even though cost center assignments are there but why system is asking cost object not able to understand.
Please any one help me to solve this issue.
Thanks

Nope, no other ways.
The cost center in question will receive a statistical posting - revenues aren't costs, and can't be carried in CCA as primary postings. If they could, they'd be able to be included in rate calculation, allocations, etc, which is nonsensical.
You'll have to have another receiver in CO that can receieve a real posting. That's pretty much an internal order, WBS element, or profitability segment. Profit center doesn't count; all postings to PCA are statisticial (PCA is a special-purpose special-purpose-ledger, if you get my meaning.)
Two questions:
1) Do you have costing-based CO-PA active in your system?
2) Have you verified the business scenario? Why do you want to record revenues in CCA in the first place?

Account Assignment - Derivation of Cost Object

Hi All,
On doing payment through transaction F-58, automatic line item of exchange rate gain n loss (P&L Account) is added automaticallly due to configuration done in FBKP -> Excng Rate Difference. The problem is, is there a possibilty to derive cost object which is used in Invoice of which the payment is being processed.
Regards,
Nayab

Thanks Eli for your reply.
Yes, I found the same i.e. the best practice is to assign CO through OKC9 on particular G/L Accounts. The issue is reports in Joint Venture Accounting "GJRG_5J1B" that shows all cost on particular job (cost center, wbs, network etc.) doesn't potray the right result after settlement of network. For instance
Invoice is booked and cost element is charged on Network
CJI3 show all amount
GJRG_5J1B show all related amount.
When payment is processed and in automatic RXD line item, constant Cost Center of Other Income is provided
CJI3 doesn't show RXD amount
GJRG_5J1B show RXD amount
On settling Network, i.e. Roll up its cost to WBS level following happens
CJI3 is settled, gross amount is 0.
GJRG_5J1B show 0 as well other than RXD amount which still needs to be settled.
The solution we found is to charge automatic line item to particular cost object so it will get settled while rolling up network amount to WBS
The other solution is to settle such cost at period end but to do such activity I'm in search of standard way.
Thank you again for your response.

Trx KKPHIE: assigning single objects to cost objects hierarchy through BDC

Is there a way to assign single object to cost object hierarchy.
The ALV TREE button "Assignmnet single objs on/off" does not seem to trigger an OKCODE since it is managed in the abap object (class).
Is there is way to make a BDC. Or other ways to enter that data in BG, like a BAPI.
- Tried the BDC recorder without success
- Did not find a BAPI
- Did not find anything interesting in SWO1 business object BUS2076.
Any clue ?

Ok, we found the solution. Simply use the old transaction "KKP2" instead of "KKPHIE"
