There is a standard functionality in SAP.....Follow below steps..
1. Select Automatic Creation of Cost Element in the field Controlling Integration in transaction OB13.
2. Use transction OKB2 and enter your chart of accounts.
3. Maintain seperate or range of account with cost element category they should be created.
Now as soon as you create a P&L account, cost element will be created automatically in controlling...

Intractive alv report while adding coloums of cost element of G/L account
Hi guys,
i have a proble with interactive alv report.
i did all the things. its working fine also. now they r asking me to add some coloums
which are from COSP-KSTAR this is cost element.
i need to ristrict perticular cost element according to the company code and fiscal year.
i don't know how we can take the cost elements and how to pass them.
plz any of u help me to come out of this problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Lakshmi..so , write a select query to table cosp in to it_cospt internal table .
where condition
WRTTP
VERSN
GJAHR .
the above should hard coded the data by asking the Function consultant like version & value type .,
then loop at your final internal table .
read table of it_cospt where gjahr = gjahr
IF final-KOSTL CA it_cospt-OBJNR . for Costcenter validate
because it stores the Costcenter only in the COSP-OBJNR , IF you check table data in BSEG and COSP , even AUFNR ( Internal order ) also to the same field . so that the cost center gets validated in the if condition , for your information if they ask you costelement then it include internal order also if you want ask question to you FI consultant about cost center and Internal order difference ***************
<b>move all your fresh data to your new internal table your it_cospt-KSTAR </b> data also.
<b>append new internal table </b> .
Elseif final-AUFNR CA it_cospt-OBJNR . for INTERNAL ORDER validate
b]move all your fresh data to your new internal table your it_cospt-KSTAR </b> data also.
<b>append new internal table </b> .
ENDIF
**********like that for project id if there is any PS module integration data then .********************
so that your new internal table will have all data including cost element also .
now after this , loop you new internal table
hide technque for drilldown.

Cost Element and Profit center accounting
hi to all,
in my production system, most of PL accouts have been created as cost element. but some revenue and COGS accounts have not been created even there existed transaction data.
now i want to create all PL accounts as cost elements. revenue (category is 11) and COGS(category is 12) accounts link with Logistic, so i am not sure the effluence in the auto posting with Logistics. if there is any problem?
by the way, after create all PL accounts as cost element, i want all the transaction data for PL account can flow into profit center accounting because i want to generate profit center PL report. what shoul i do? set the profit center field mandatory or set Substitution? or some more reasonable solutions ?
expect your valuable suggestion/
thanks in advance
IvanHi,
After creating P/L accounts as cost element when ever you will post to that account it will ask for posting to true CO object it can be a real cost center, real internal order or profitability segment etc.
If you want all P/L account to post to profit center, you can set profit center field mandatory and you can enter profit center manually.If your CO account assignment is cost center System can also derive profit center from cost center master data.and OKB9 is more option which u can make use of. -
Manual/Autometic creation of cost elements in chart of accounts field
Dear Friends,
While creation of Chart of accounts (OB13) under Controlling Integratiion tab
thers is two options are there.
1 manual creation of cost elements
2 autometic creation of cost elements.
While creation of cost elements if we select
(MANUAL CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS) what will happen???
(AUTOMETIC CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS) what will happen?
What is the main difference between about two fields?
Thanks in advance,
MallikaHi,
MANUAL CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS - Cost elements maintained manually. A push button is available for
this purpose, with which you can go directly to the related cost
element.
AUTOMETIC CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS - Cost elements maintained automatically. When you save a new G/L
account, the related cost element is automatically created. A prerequisite is that a default value for the cost element category
has been set up for this cost element. If no default value is found, the system will not create a cost element.
You can make default settings via :
Cost Element accounting --> master data --> cost element --> automatic creation of primary and secondaru cost element --> make default settings

Statistical Cost Element for B/S accounts related to inventory - HELP
Dear Gurus,
I need to create a CE type 90 for my inventory accounts. In SAP help it says
"System Response
Balance sheet accounts cannot be created as cost elements in cost accounting, except for:
Asset reconciliation accounts
Material stock accounts for valuated sales order stock for sales orders or projects."
For assets tcode OAK7 can be used after maintaining relevant accounts in AA -> Integration w/GL -> Assign G/L accounts.
How do I do the same for material stock accounts (which are B/S as well)?
Thank you in advance!
Ciao!
MaxHi,
In SAP the cost element category is pre set to 90 for all Balance Sheet Accounts.
Hence you cannot create cost element with category 90 for any Balance Sheet account.

When not to create cost elements for P&L accounts? Implications?
I noticed some P&L gl accounts are not created as cost elements eg. R&D expense, COGS (posted during SD delivery), sales (posted during SD billing), freight charges, production variance (posted during prod.order settlement), etc.. I'm thinking if cost elements are not created, FI and CO will not reconcile.
Example of our SD delivery posting :
Debit COGS (sales order assignment)
Credit Stock
From above posting, there is amount posted to COGS gl account but no CO assignment except for sales order. Is there supposed to be a follow-up to this posting to reconcile FI with CO ? Or is our setup wrong?
Fyi we do not use CO-PA.
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: Pixel8 ation on Aug 3, 2010 5:16 PMHi,
Sorry, I probably confused things by mentioning Revenue. Your settings are correct, with Revenue defined as a revenue element (11) rather than a cost element (1).
With respect to WIP (P&L), I would create it as a cost element, since it represents the absorption of cost centre costs and materials into the production of goods, even though the goods are not yet complete. When the goods are completed they will be credited in CO-OM and debited to stock using a similar entry. The impact of these credits (to WIP or to Stock) is to move costs out of CO-OM into the goods produced (CoGS). In CO-OM, the net result of Costs less credits to WIP/Stock, indicates the efficiency of your cost centres or the accuracy of your standards.
I would also create the manufacturing variance accounts as Cost Elements and settle them back to your production costs centres (or possibly CO-PA if you used it), since they are also a reflection of the efficiency of your cost centres - i.e. if a Cost Centre manager is not achieving the standards, (s)he should be accountable for the variance, and if you are concerned about reconciling CO-OM and the costs in P&L, you won't reconcile if the variances aren't posted back to CO.

COST ELEMENT FOR G/L ACCOUNT [KA01]
HI,
KA01 GIVES ERROR
COST ELEMENT: SILT
VALID TO XXXX VALID FROM: XXX
eRROR: CREATE G/L ACCOUNT SILT FIRST.....Hello,
You need to create a G/L account first. Create a G/L account with transaction code FS00 and give this account as the cost element in cost element creation (KA01).
If you have any doubt then check the existing cost elements in the system and check the G/L account and try to replicate in FS00.

Automatic cost estimate while transferring to accounting.
While Posting billing Document from SD to FI, I am getting error as mention below
" The system tried to read the product cost estimate for product 20000050 using the costing variant aZPC4 and the costing version 01.
However, the product cost estimate has the status KF, which means that it contains errors. Therefore the cost estimate is not valid."
When we try to do the cost estimate manually then it estimates without errors.
Waiting eagerly for your replies,
Ariel DesaFirst, you need to make sure you cost the material without errors (the status will then be KA)
Then you need to mark and release (*please see note below) your cost using transaction CK24. The status will then change to FR.
(*PS: If your system is setup to read Future Cost Estimates, you only need to mark the Cost Estimate and not release it.)
You can now release your Billing to FI.

Default GL account (cost element) for external service contracts
Hi everybody,
question about GL being defaulted from contract for external services
The requirement is to have GL (cost element) being defined per service sub item defaulting to work order. Account assignment is unknown, because the costs might be settled later to cost center or AFE or else.
You could default cost element either through material group (which doesn't enable cost element to contract) or with account assignment category 'K' or 'F' which do not suit, cause the former requires cost center, that is unknown yet, whereas the latter requires assignment to order which doesn't make sense at all. Theoretically, it could be done with acc assignment cat 'U' , but cost element is not enabled with that category..
I was assuming that cost center which you are required to enter along with cost element while creating service sub item referring to some sort of internal accounting. The system also requires service sub item acc assignment category being aligned with requisition (which is 'F') and would in fact create PR referrencing actual work order number. But still, doesn't it make sense having contract referencing another order.. Also, we don't use default values for PM ext operation data.
So, the question is how to accomplish the requirement with Unknown assignment category? what is the point of defining cost center in the contract in given circumstances? Is there any work around exists?
Thanks in advance
SergeyHi,
Try this: IMG -> Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Maintenance and Service Processing -> Maintenance and Service Orders -> Functions and Settings for Order Types -> Create Default Value Profiles for External Procurement.
After that assign it to order type: Default Values for Task List Data and Profile Assignments.

GL account wrongly maintained as cost element
Hi,
One GL account which would allow to post WIP value is wrongly assigned as Cost Element and during settlement through KO88 vlaue is not being allowed to post due to cost element gl "G/L account 711005 cannot be created as a cost element". Even after removing cost element category from table CSKB it is still not allow to post. There is no balance exist in GL account and debit and credit figure is equal. This GL account is very vital and we have to post this GL account through settlement without assigining new gl account against this WIP.
Kindly need any suggestion..
Best Regards,
Samrat RoyHi Samrat,
As per my understanding you would like to delete the cost element for the WIP GL Account. and you said that the debits and credits for this GL Account are same. If there is atransaction data exists, you could not able to delete the cost element.
for this first you should delete the transaction data. i.e., need to delete the all the CO documents for that cost element. for this there is a program to delete the CO documents i.e., RKACOR20. once you delete the CO documents, then you can able to delete the cost element for the specified GL Account. then you can run the WIP without interruption.
Thanks & Regards,

Alternative account number instead of cost elements in controlling reports
Hello.
Is there a possibility to show alternative accounts numbers from country charts of accounts instead of cost elements / account numbers from operative chart of accounts in CO reporting?
Thank you for your answer.
kind regards
AndreasNot in a standard report.
With ABAP anything is possible. And it should be relatively easy - create the report as you want with the cost element (In report painter), have the ABAP execute the report, and in the result, swop the cost element with the alternative account.

Hello All,
I am looking for a report to check the GL accounts and the cost elements. I want to check if the cost element is been created for all the GL accounts and incase if I missed on the cost element for any GL account then I should create it.
Is there any standard report or even if I have to check 2 reports that would be fine.
Thanks
PriyaHi Priya,
1. If automatic creation of the cost element is selected in your chart of accounts then you check it out list in transaction OKB2 where there is less scope to miss the creation of cost elements.
2. If it was not activated or activated later then take the GL Account list from SKB1 and cost element list from CSKA and use VLOOKUP functionality of excel.
Creating query will not help here because filed GL Account and Cost element are different even though they have the same value.

Cost element-balance sheet account
hi,
i need to create cost element for balance sheet account ( other than raw material account)
Thanks
raghavanDear Raghvan,
Cost elements are not created for balance sheet accounts. It is created from only P&L accounts.
Even if you try to create a cost element for BS account, system prompts you as 'GL is a balance sheet account'.

Can we create a cost element for a Balance Sheet account?
Hi folks,
Is it possible to create a cost element for a balance sheet account? If yes, what are the scenerios we would need it and how is it done?
thanks in advanceHello
Please review the below information regarding cost elements category 90 : Financial Accounting Balance Sheet Accounts
Category 90 is automatically assigned when you create cost elements in CO whose general ledger accounts in FI are asset reconciliation accounts
(special balance sheet accounts), not income statement accounts. You
cannot change this category in CO master data maintenance.
FI does not require CO account assignments to cost elements of
category 90. However, if you enter an account assignment, it is only
recorded statistically for real objects.
Category 90 allows you to check order or project budgets for fixed
asset procurement. To do so, enter the investment order or WBS element
in the corresponding field in the asset master. The Asset Management
component ensures that the order or element automatically appears in
the document when you access the asset procurement.
The R/3 System debits the order/WBS element statistically in the
Controlling component, which you can then monitor with availability
control.
You can treat cost elements of category 90 as activity-independent as
part of cost center planning.
Also see note 75980 for further information. From the note:
The use of cost element category 90 is only provided in the standard
system in the following two cases:
1. As of Release 3.0G, asset acquisitions and down payments which are
assigned directly to a fixed asset or asset under construction can
be assigned to an account on internal orders or WBS elements
statistically. In this manner, for example, an availability check
can be triggered on the order or the WBS element for asset posting.
2. As of Release 4.0, cost elements of category 90 can also be created
for material stock accounts to display material make-to-order stocks
on sales orders or customer projects.
