Authorization for Time Entry on Cost Center Level

Hi Experts,
Would like to know, if we can do authorisation for time entry on the base of cost center. For example, an employee worked for 8 hrs and out of that 2 hrs worked for different cost center. That 2 hrs should be approve by Manager of that cost center and 6 hrs from his current cost center.
I thought of Structural Authorisation but not sure how it will work. I would appreciate prompt response on the same.
Thanks,
Aashish

I was pointing out [the rules|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/rulesofEngagement] about requesting "promptness" from what is a voluntary effort here to help each other and help those who first try to help themselves (keyword: "search").
Actually, I noticed that you had cross-posted this thread to the HCM forum. Normally, we move threads to other forums which are more appropriate, and often lock cross-posting. This is one of those grey areas between technical and functional, so I turned a blind eye on it.
I am hoping that there will be a functionality to mirror good questions to other related forums without having to cross-post. This would be very usefull for sure but the question would have to be good and the person who asked it would have to have a good track record of respecting [the rules|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/rulesofEngagement]. Most likely moderators would be the only ones to "mirror" good questions, unless they contain words such as "urgent" or "ASAP" or "prompt" or "points will be rewarded", etc...

Budgeting on account & cost center level

Hi ALL, My company is planning to implement SAP in the near future and I'm taking the SAP course now. According to what SAP instrcutor said, budgeting cannot be done on account & cost center level. In my company, our current practice is to record all budget figures under account & cost center level and for every expense (invoice or journal) input, account & cost center would be the mandatory fields so that budgeting can be monitored in such level.
Can anyone tell me how this can be handled in SAP?

HI
DONT TRUST that type of words.
i hope that your instructer is not a real time guy.
we have to do Budgeting at cost center lavel in Cash Budget management. why because that is (Cost Centyer)Orgnisational level Responsibility Area
and item level in Funds mangement.
But for every expence you want do the budget you have to implement Funds mange ment Module.
then your item level budgeting will be solved.
Thanks & Regards

Load the Budget value at cost center level only

Hello All,
Can we load the budget value at the cost center level only with out using cost element . I have seen that we can from actual to budget in Kp98 at the cost Center level.
Thanks ,
Krishna

Hi
There is a work around...
You can create one Statistical IO for each cost center and upload your budget in it...
Keep the same nomenclature for IO as the Cost center i.e. If cost center name is 123456, have the same name for IO as well
In Substitution OKC9, you can use a Field to Field Mapping and populate same IO as the Cost center no in the posting or you can also use exit RGGBS000

Budgeting at cost center level

Dear All,
Can anyone please tell me how to go about activating availability control for cost centers.I want to do budgeting at cost center level for each cost element.
Pls Its urgent
mail me to : [email protected]
Regards
besri

Hi
In transaction code KP06 you have the facility for to enter the plan data for cost centre and cost element but no availability control i.e. it will allow to do further transaction even if the actual exceeds Plan.
For budgeting you can use KPZ2 which is also for cost centre only (without cost element)budgeting without availability of control.
Both these you can maintain peridically.
Report S_ALR_87013611 - Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance which will give plan vs actual and variance
S_ALR_87013648 - Range: Actual/Budget/Commitments
If the above answer is helpful kindly assign points

Substitution for deriving Profitcenter from Cost center

Hi SAP Gurus,
I want a detail substitution steps for deriving the profit center for cost centeres. One PC is assigned to more than one cost center.
Thanks In Advance.
CHEERS

I am talking about the cost center in settelment rule.
my problem is while setteling the order in ko88
--- for some order , for manual input of cost center system is capturing profit center automatically
--- for some order, system is not deriving the profit center automatically.
all cost center master data is having profit centers.
for the second case system is not allowing me to settele the order in ko88.

CAT2 for Time Entry (single and multiple)

Hello all,
We have been using CATW for time entry and CAT2 for multiple time entry and have security set up accordingly. We're thinking of moving to CAT2 for all time entry but need to make sure we can configure to allow single time entry for those reporting only their own time, and multiple time entry for those reporting their own as well as others. I think this may be doable between a combination of security and IMG/Data Entry profile work. Does anyone have any experience using CAT2 in this way?
Thanks,
Doug

First create a data entry profile/CVR through SPRO for a time sheet,
Then assign this profile to a user through user parameter CVR (Cats Variant for Recording) in the table USR05.
This CVR is used in CAT2 to access the time sheet corresponding to the profile assigned to the user.
Thanks

Org Level, fund center/cost center level restriction for tcodes????

I am looking to see whether org level restriction and cost center/fund center level restriction is possible for certain set of transactions.
I am using USOBX table for this analysis. This table has a check flag field ( same as in SU24) which says whether the Tcode (program) does the authority check for certain auth objects. Example- X (checked but not maintained in USOBT). This table pulls up several authorization objects under the 'X' category. However, when I do the System trace for the same tcode, all the objects (marked as X) are not captured. Instead only a few are captured.
Can we rely on the USOBX data or should we do system Trace for every tcode. I am just pulling a report and not creating roles at this point. So trace is time consuming. But data reliability is equally important.
My objective is to verify whether org level and cost center/fund center level restriction is possible or not for some tcodes.
Do you have any suggestion to achieve this faster (through USOBX or any other means)?
Thanks in advance
Kee

I would suggest you to check USOBX_C and USOBT_C instead of USOBX and USOBT as it will have your customization as well and not just the standard ones given by SAP.
Also when check field is X ...it means the object is checked but not maintained for the t-code as you already said but I am not sure how much it will help you as the they will not be pulled by PFCG when you are creating the role until you change the object to Check / maintain . When you do that the check field will be Y and not X. So basically it is the Y one which you need to see.
Going for trace is time consuming for every t-code and I am not sure if it really needed. When your roles are in testing phase and are tested by the functional team or the team which needs it and if they are missing some object, you can run a trace and find the missing object....
I am not sure on what basis you want to change some field to Org level ...but typically it is done if you want to do segregation of roles based on these org level. There could be various other reasons and it is better to talk to your functional counterparts before changing a field to Org level.
for ex : If you want to segregate on company code, you will create co. code as Org level and create roles for different company code.

Restriction of Time-dependent data (Cost Center) according to a specific role

Dear experts,
Has some one of you implemented a functionality to restrict Time-dependent data (for example, Cost Center) edition, according to a specific role assigned to an End user?
I imagine it is possible, but we should develop an User-exit in order to get this goal.
Let your comments here if possible, so that I can argue with my End user. I will try to give you points if you help me with this query.
Thanks & Kind Regards,
Daniel.

Hello All!
We have talked to Authorizations specialist and he indicated a customizing transaction in FI-AA module called ANSICHT (IMG -> Financial Accounting -> Asset Accounting -> Preparing for Production Startup -> Authorization Management -> Process Asset Views). In this customizing, it is possible to edit an existing asset view and turn on/off fields according to the company needs.
Afterwards, you should request some adjustment in the roles that contain the A_A_VIEW authorization object.
I am considering this question as "assumed answered'.

Daniel

Authorization issue with Company code/ Cost center combination

Hi,
I am currently trying to restrict user access by company code and cost center combination.
We have roles defined for each user and I am trying to use the standard authorization object A_S_KOSTL in this role . It seems that since it is not a 'maintianed' object no activity can be assigned to this autorization object.
currently the values are :
company Code : 1110 , 1112, 1114
Cost Center : *
i am getting sy-subrc as 0 even when i test for company code : 1110 for a user with the above role.
My code is :
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'A_S_KOSTL'
    ID 'BUKRS' FIELD '1110'.
F sy-subrc EQ 0.
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'A_S_KOSTL'
ID 'KOSTL' FIELD '*' .
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    MESSAGE 'Success with KOSTL also' TYPE 'S'.
ELSE.
      MESSAGE 'Success with BUKRS only' TYPE 'S'.
ENDIF.
ELSE.
      MESSAGE 'Failure' TYPE 'S'.
ENDIF .
I get a subrc NE 0 for the KOSTL part. The test passes for BUKRS.
Please advise on how to proceed.
Thanks and Regards
Soumya

Okay, I misread the "NE". Sorry.
Have you done a syntax check on it?
Also compare to:
AUTHORITY-CHECK <object>
ID 'KOSTL' '*'.
I cannot confess to ever have done a "full" AUTHORITY-CHECK myself, but it is most likely the same as with DUMMY -> you should not use the FIELD statement as '' value if the data element does not know what a '' is...
Cheers,
Julius

Stock entry and cost center

I make a P.R using acct. assignment category K.due to this a gl account xxxxxxx gets filled automatically in PR. Then when goods receipt is made using migo then inspite of goods going to stock a/c yyyyyyy it goes to xxxxxxx.
and when PR is made without any acct. assignmnet category, it updates the correct stock account on doing migo entry
where in the configuration it has been configured that when we use the 'K' account assigmnet category in the PR then inspite of updating stock a/c a different account xxxxxx gets updated when we use t.code migo.

Hi,
I think you are consuming the material directly. Assgt Category is K is for cost center, it means your material will be directly consumed to cost center. The entry will be as follow.
While Making GR,
Consumption Account Dr.
To GR/IR
while invoice passing
GR/IR Dr.
To Vendors
in such case, stock will not up but it will be consumed directly. so the system is picking up right GL According to Account Asst category.

Jigar

Please help me understand this. I need to pass one value in INTO of this query.

Cost centre is stored at the Organization level.
And many Organizations can have the same location, so for a location you can have different cost code combinations.
If you need just one segment(location segment), then it could be unique.
So , instead of pcak.concatenated_segments cost_centre use pcak.segmentX (X could be 1,2,3 etc based on your flexfield definition)

Depreciation posting for Book Assets to Cost Center

Dear Friends,
We have upgraded from 4.70 version to ECC6.0 EHP4. Fixed Assets was not
implemented in 4.70. Now we are implementing Fixed Assets module in
ECC6.0.
We have copied the Standard Chart of Deprecition 0IN from Client 000
and renamed the same as BCLL: Chart of depreciation: BCLL.
I defined asset masters and maintained Cost center and Bus Area in the
Time Dependent area.
I maintained the configuration in Transaction Code ACSET for the
default Cost Center.
But while posting depreciation i.e. AFAB, the system is throwing error
and not posting to the Cost center defined in the asset master.
Hence I am maintaining the Default Cost center in OKB9 for depreciation
posting.
Please help me in resolving the issue.
Best Regards
Srinivas A

Dear Friends,
As pointed out by you, I have already activated the Account Assignment KOSTL and also maintained the Account Assignment Object in ACSET but the system is throwing the error "Account 4850 requires an assignment to a CO object", Message Number KI235.
The system is not posting to the Cost Center maintained in the Asset Master record.
Hence I posted to the Cost Center maintained in OKB9 but I understand this is not the correct appraoch.

Time costraint on Cost Center (K) relationships

Hi everybody.
I would ask for your help about the following problem I'm not able to solve :
I defined a new relationship, linking the object K (Cost Center) to a new object I created (ZE).
The new relationship is defined as B992 (bottom-up). This relationship should link one Cost Center to only one new object, so I set the Time Constraint for this relation to 2. The other way relationship (top-down) A992 is set to 3, since I could link one new object to more than one Cost Center.
In the view V_T777ZIT I have the line :
K 1001 Relationships B992 Cost Center assignment 2
The problem is :
the system does not perform any check on the unique assignment of a Cost Center to an object ZE and a multiple assignment is allowed.
Have you any idea about the reason of this ?
Thanks a lot for any help.
Francesco

In order to use this table you should have K 1001 B992 3 in table T777Z.
Define Time Constraint Depending on Target Object Type
In this step, you define alternative time constraints for relationships depending on the target object type.
Example
A position in your enterprise can be described by only one job (target object type "C") but by as many tasks as required (target object type "T").
Requirements
You should have already carried out the step Maintain relationships and entered the value "3" for the time constraint of the corresponding relationship.
Standard settings
The standard SAP R/3 system contains a number of predefined time constraints that are target object type-dependent.
Recommendation
It is recommended that you use the time constraints supplied.
Activities
Define you own target object type-dependent time constraints if necessary.
Further notes
The assignment of additional conditions for this function may only be carried out by SAP since it is equivalent to a program modification.
