Assignment of Materials to Cost Object Nodes in Cost Object Hierarchy

We have defined a Cost Object Hierarchy. In the Cost Object Hierarchy , there are multiple cost object nodes. These cost object node represents each Prodcution line.
There is a requirement that any material can be produced in any production line.
The issue I am facing is if I am assiging one material to one Production line, and again if I am trying to assign the same material to other production line, the system is not allowing me to assign it.
How Can I resolve this issue.
kindly help.
regards

Hi
Ideally, each prod line should be represented by a Production Version in PP... You can assign a combination of Material + Prod Version to each Cost Obj Node... You cant assign just a Material No to more than 1 node
The Prod Version Field might appear in Grey Mode.. But, it will allow you to select the Prod Version in that Field....
You can also use BADI workorder_update to check while creating production order that the Prod Version being used in the Prod Order must be assigned to Cost Obj Node... Cost Obj Nodes are stored in the table CKPE

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.

Cost object Hierarchy nodes

Actually I need to change profit center in cost object node but does not allow changes, do you have some suggestion?

Hi,
Once u assign profit center in Cost Object before values posting system allow u do changes. Once u made postings against Cost Object System not allows you for Change Profit Center.
For the do one thing Create new cost object with proper Profit center and settle ur old Cost Object to New cost object.
Thanks

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"

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.

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.

The performance of Distribution of Cost Object Hierarchy Costs.

Dear SAP Gurus.
I am checking the function and the performance about Cost Object Hierarchies distribution with Control Through Variance Key.
The number of production orders assigned to COH is about 100,000 per month.
All orders will be closed at current month and new 100,000 production order will be assigned to COH at next month.
My concern is about performance of Distribution of Cost Object Hierarchy Costs
because a huge number of orders will be accumulatedly assigned to the Cost Object Hierarchies.
I think that the COH will be distributed with not bad performance.
(Actually I want that to be OK.)
What's your opinion about that?
Sincerely.
Mahnkwi.

Hi Mahnkwi,
Sender-/receiver-relations should definitely be below 1:1000 or even below 1:500. This depends on other factors like general size of the hierarchy and data to be processed as well. This hierarchy needs to be restructured. In case you do this the
distribution needs to be reversed first.
Below are some other hints on performance in KKPX
- Parallel processing should be used.(note [386508|https://css.wdf.sap.corp/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=0000386508])
- Switch off detail lists since the consume lots of memory.
- Old orders should be archived.
Note [77718|https://css.wdf.sap.corp/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=0000077718] also explains tips to avoid the memory error for transaction KKPX or KKPY. As note explains, you should consider
whether a distribution of the cost elements according to their origin is required; if not, the corresponding indicator should not be set in the costing view of the materials.
If many error message is issued in the error log, this may have bad effect on the memory of your server. In this case, you should make these error message "not to be displayed" by message control in IMG.

Data collection for cost object hierarchy - no data at order level!

Hi everyone,
When using transaction KKP6 to see my hierarchy for cost object, the system displays all the values that are allocated on my hierarchy nodes, but I do not have the values that should come from the production orders (repetitive manufacturing with production version).
I use transaction KKRZ to collect data for cost object hierarchy, but it seems that the system does not retrieve any information from the orders.
Would someone know about this point customizing steps to follow to retrieve my orders values?
Thanks in advance for your answer. Rewards guaranteed!
Ronan

Hi Amadeus,
To do so, I have used transaction OKZ5 in the customizing and ticked "always cost object hierarchy" and "distribution".
By doing so, you enable the system to distribute costs within a cost hierarchy. Otherwise the system will only determine costs on the hierarchy.
Try this, it may work for you as well. During your period-end closing, you sould now use "cost object hierarchy" instead of product cost collector.

Ronan

BW: Cost Element Hierarchy - from R/3 plus additional node in BW

Hi all,
We have cost element hierarchy (say ZP14PL) which we schedule to update periodically from R/3 into BW . However we would like to add an additional sub-node under this same hierachy via RSH1. As this subnode is only for BW use, this is not maintained in the hierarchy ZP14PL in R/3. With the 'full update' or 'update Subtree' option in the infopackage the hierachy ZP14PL will be deleted and replaced with the latest changes thus removing the additional node which we created for BW only.
Any suggestion as to how we could have the latest hierarchy updated from R/3 without deleting the additional subnode that we added in the same hierachy in BW?
Appreciate all expert advice.
Thanks and best regards,
VC

An easy way would be to include this link into the file using a start routine....
you should know the child node and parent nodes for the same and since the location of the same is going to be constant - you could add it to your start routine....
Or have a time dependent hierarchy but that would mess up your reporting...
Also this is not the correct forum to post BI relevant questions - suggest you post the same in the BI forums for more relevant answers....

we would like to upload flat files into BIIP which need to contain values for cost center hierarchy nodes.
Is there a way to add the cost center hierarchy node value into a flat file and upload it inot BIIP?
Thanks and regadrs,

Hello Hans,
you can post the value agaist any node as long as it is a postable node (not a text node).

Assignment of operations to all object list entries active

Hello Friends,
Can any body please explain me what is the meaning of this setting "Assignment of operations to all object list entries active" under the order and notification integration.
Regards
Amar

hi
say if your order is having 5 operations ,then you want to assign the operations to the notification or Floc or Equipment in the object ,
Go in to order in change mode ,select the object TAB select your object list then press the assignment button where it will show the operations where you can assign the object list to the operation you like.
this is only for information as which operation to the performed on which object list

Untagged physical object must be assigned to a tagged parent object   ?

Hi friends ,
I am using Auto-ID Test tool as simulattor of Device Controller . When i tried to trigger Tag commissioning from AII , I have sent the proper informations like GTIN , Device Controller ID , command etc.,
        It is triggering the rule TAGCOM_AA but i was getting the error at the activity POBJ_CREATE as   " Untagged physical object must be assigned to a tagged parent object "
    If i do the tag commissioning via Auto-ID Cockpit it correcly processing and sending the XML message to the appropriate destination .
    Please clarify !
Thanks & regards.,
V.Rangarajan

Hi Michael,
Thank you very much for your valuable answer . But, i stuck up   at the printer assignment .
My question is
1.If Tag commissioning will be taken care by the Device Controller ( Not by AII ) but command has to go from the AII to device controller . If assign the printer to device group then AII will send directly print command to Printer right ?
         Please clarify the Printer assignment steps . I have referred the Slap and Slip configuratuion Guide but still doubt
     1. In Device Master Data Settigns - under Device Group Settings i have done as
AII_DC     WRITE_DEV_GRP     Writer     Fixed Device     Tag Commissioning     Door     WRITE_STATION
    But i have not assigned the Printer , Where to Define this printer is it RFC Destination ? Pls , clarify this point .
   2. If i do that Tag commissioning via Auto ID **** pit AII is sending Print Command Message to the Device Controller (RFC Destination - which is assigned to the Device Controller )
Once agin thanks for the good reply .
Thanks & regards.,

Reg:- Auxiliary materials for Fleet objects

Hi Gurus/Friends
Here i have an issue reg the Assignment of Auxiliary materials to the Fuel types.
I did testing with assigning the materials in Testing but .....
Can i know the assignment of Auxiliary materials to the fuel types is done separately in development and Production.
Please reply.......
Regards
Kumar

Hi Friends
What u guys suggested is correct...
But we need to assign the material master to the Fuel type ,where the material master is not transportable .
The material which we assign to fuel type will not be transportable ,but the assignment will be transported.
we cont say that the same material no will be generated at the time of creation of material master in quality and Production.
So please suggest me whether we need to assign the material no in the Quality and Production.
