Automatically populating cost center for 551 posting
Hi MM Experts,
Is there any way the cost center for the 551 movement type can be automatically populated into the field without the user entering it? We are posting a 551 posting from a legacy system and jsut want to find out if I can do any OBYC settings to make the cost center come up automatically?
I believe the above answer is best approach, assuming you are always scrapping to the same Cost Centre. You can default a Cost Centre indirectly, by linking it to the defauled GL (if it's valuated stock then technically I believe it is a General Ledger code, rather than a Cost Element).
If you're going to do this for 551 you preumably want to do it for the other scrapping movement types 552, 553 etc. too.

Override Company and Cost Center for FI Posting from HR Payroll
Hello all. I have this scenario with a company that was merged into another and retroactive payroll occurs for absences and extra time in the "old" company, but the "old" merged company is closed so no postings can occur.
I also found this unanswered post: How to Override Company and Cost Center for FI Posting from HR Payroll
We suppose that retroactive differences could be accounted in the new company code but I didnu2019t found any way to do it even in the BADI SMOD_PCPO0001 I couldnu2019t find a way to change the company code/cost center....
Does anyone have dealt with the same problem? What is the solution?Amosha, thank you for your response. Here is PCP0 that shows what I mean by 'header company code' that I don't see how to change (I re-ran pd 26 2008--bi-weekly payroll, btw):

The CO account assignment object belongs to company code 0001, not 0057
Company code 0057 is now closed and has been merged into 0001. Cost center 14515 in the above doc was populated by my clone of RPCIPE00 and call to my BAdI which retrieved current company and cost center from PA0001. You can see from above that the 'header' data still shows 0057 and indeed, my version of RPCIPE00 only changes P_ITEM-BUKRS, P_ITEM-KOSTL and P_ITEM-SGTXT. It looks to me that fm HRPP_TRANSLATE_FICO gets the 'header' company code afresh. I was planning to leave WPBP-BUKRS (and all other Payroll data) alone (ie, not override company code).
As for your other question, we post retros to /551 and /552.

How to Override Company and Cost Center for FI Posting from HR Payroll
Current problem: A company code has been 'merged' into another one and the old company code can no longer be used. In the last payroll run, there was a rate change that caused a retro back to the time of the old company code and since the old company code and cost center were closed, the FI posting error'ed out. To correct, we had to delete the offending pernr from the cluster and back out the rate change until we came up with a solution.
Investigation has revealed a process called 'Substitute Cost Centers', but we tested it and a 'flusher' cost center is required to be set up in the old company code and FI refuses to open it up.
Also, I've located 3 user exits for RPCIPE00, but I do not see where company and cost center can be changed. So I've tried to code my own BAdi, but there seems to be a header company code that I'm not getting. The item company code and cost center seem to be doable, but I don't know how to change the header company code.
I am new to HR and Payroll having spent the last couple of years in BI and before that I worked with the material master and Purchasing. It is my humble opinion that the company should not have been 'turned off' until Payroll was finished with it and that means 2 years until we archive. In reading about symbolic accounts, several times it is written not ever to delete them. Seems to me company code is the same. But surely I must be wrong and there is a solution that will make everybody happy.
I would appreciate any and all ideas. Thank you so much.Amosha, thank you for your response. Here is PCP0 that shows what I mean by 'header company code' that I don't see how to change (I re-ran pd 26 2008--bi-weekly payroll, btw):

Select cost center for physical inventory difference posting
Hello,
While posting physical inventory differences (transactions MI07 or MI10) the choice of cost center is not offered. A default cost center is used by the system.
Is there a way to choose the cost center for inventory difference postings? This is useful considering we have several inventories managed by several business units with different cost centers.
Kind regards,
Sergei Volkovthis is from OSS note 13423:
Symptom
Key word: Inv acct assign
No account assignment can be entered when posting inventory
discrepancies.
Additional key words
MI07
Cause and prerequisites
This function is not implemented.
Solution
In Customizing an account assignment can be made for every inventory
adjustment account. To do this the inventory adjustment account must
first be defined as a cost element (Transaction KA01 / KA06):
Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost centers -> Master data -> Cost element
-> Create primary / secondary. Then an account assignment can be made
for the cost element (Transaction OKB9):
Tools -> Customizing -> Setup menu -> Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost
centers -> Actual postings -> Automatic account assignment.
If this account assignment is implemented every posting to the
particular inventory adjustment account will automatically receive the
appropriate account assignment. -
Control G/L account and Cost Center for movement type 251
Dear Friends,
I would like to use mov. type 251 for GI for sale and like to control over G/L account and Cost center.
The G/L account is by default from the valuation class of the the material and if the user will enter wrong G/L
we had done the customising in OMJJ movement type 251 - Account grouping - Unchecked the check box of column
"Check account assignment" - Impact is " the system always uses the G/L accounts or account assignments determined automatically"
I also made default cost center for G/L account and plant wise through OKB9.
Now I would like to suppress/dispaly the G/L account and cost center - for same I had done Setting in Entry control menu of OMJJ for 251 of field Account control - Value - "-" field is suppressed. But it is not working.
Please advise to solve this situation.
Thanks & Regards
RajanDear Rajan
Yes, I have checked in MB1A earlier. We have separate node for Field seletion layout for Enjoy transaction MIGO for mvt type in which the G/L account (KONTO) an Cost center (KOSTL) have only optional or required entry selection.

Acc.assignment object replaced by current master cost center for employee
Hi,
I am facing a peculiar warning message while running the payroll posting run for only 2 employees. The warning message s as follows:
"Acc.assignment object replaced by current master cost center for employee
Message no. 3G399"
Prior to this, there were an error saying the
"Account assignment objects are incorrect. No substitution is possible.
Message no. 3G209"
Later we found that the Position was not assigned to that employee properly. I later assigned the correct position.. but still during the posting run the warning message appears.
Please let me know if this is okay or is this an error which restricts the postings.
Regards,
Balaji TRYour postings will go through with the first warning message. However, please be warned that any account assignment related entries (IT 0027, 2001, 2002) will be wholly ignored.
Check if any entries have been made to different cost centers for the erroring employees. If so, check for the reason why those entries have been made (since it is evident that the configuration does not support such entries). You may need to tie in with a CO consultant to ensure that there are no loose ends. -
Automatically assign cost center
Using SAP 4.7
We need to automatically assign Cost Center at the time of asset retirement through scrapping. User doesnt have to enter the cost center.
I have tried additional assignment in asset - integration with GL Account but it fails to do.
Can Please somebody help me out in this regard.
Regards
Sajid HakeemHello,
>Cost center will be given in the asset master....you aware of it...ok...
>At the time of scrapping the asset the scrap will go to necessary scrap GL for that you have to give cost center in OKB9...you aware of it but you dont want to happen like this...and you need to have a different cost center(ie., as in the asset master) ....quite complicated....
> ok...to achieve this atleast should have different profit center for each assets..do you have? if so..... Then come to OKB9 in the acct assignment column give value 3 and in the subdialouge box click on Details per profit center wise ....there you can give cost center per prctr.
Hope this helps.

Best praxis for determining a cost center for an HR org unit in PPM ?
Hello all.
We have defined the HR Org structure directly in PPM backend. Later the intention is that an interface should transfer this data from HR.
The HR orgstructure defined works fine for the staffing process (with "resource manager via responsible organization").
We have however run into some problems with the MLC & costing part. The intention is to use manual MLC linking tasks/phases to PS WBS-elements (task based controlling).
If we leave the org unit field blank in the cProject project project definition we run into the message "No account assignment exists for the project defintion - no costing" and the systems rolls back from the assignment made.
If we however assign an orgunit in the project defintion we instead get the message "No cost center could be determined for org unit 123...".
<u>We therefore need to be able to determine a cost center for the Org Unit assigned to be able to proceed. How is this then best done?</u>
There is a master cost center assigned to the orgunit in HR but not in PPM backend where this option does not seem to be available.
With task based controlling the cost center does not really matter so it could possibly be hardcoded via a BADI (?) but is this really the way this should be done?
Any suggestions?
Thanks / AndersHi and thanks for the reply.
We will test with an ALE replicated structure so that the object ID becomes the same in the two systems as soon as possible.
Pending that we will try the BADI option. Here I am however not sure what it is we really expect the BADI to do. Which field should be populated with the cost center (the fields available are mainly project characteristics)?
I also eventually found some information regarding this in the PPM 4.0 help. I enclose info regarding this below.
a) http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ppm400/helpdata/en/index.htm
b) choose Collaboration projects>Accounting Integration>General Information about Accounting integration>Derivation of Organizational data.
As I read this the system derives this as follows in case of task-based or role-based costing with no resource assignment:
1) Look for the two BADIs mentioned to derive the cost center
2) If no result there it looks for an org unit in the cProject header (where I assume having the Org Unit with the same Object ID in backend and ERP enables this option)
3) If no result there the system looks for a "requesting cost center" in the account assignment object (WBS element or internal order)

We can do direct GRN (non order items) to cost center for Non Stackable Materials.
If it is possible.Please advice me

Your question is not clear.

If you want to issue goods to cost center you can use 201 movement type.
If you want do create automatic PO in back ground during goods receipt, you can do it with customization. For automatic PO creation during goods receipt, you can search in SDN, you can get the answer.

Block cost center for overhead account
Dear Experts,
My user would like to block the cost center for overhead account, gl account number 3xxxx.
My question is, should the cost center blocked to be changed to other account? If yes, where to change the setting/configuration for overhead account to cost center? And what is the effect for this changes.
Kindly advice.
Thank you in advance.Hi,
In KS02 you can block the cost centre for secondary postings only, if this is what you mean by 'overhead' accounting. In OKB9, you set a default of a cost object for G/L account. If you want to block the postings to cost centre completely, obviously, you will have to change the default to other cost centre. Otherwise, you will be receiving errors when trying to post to the account in question. The impact of the change will be, that every new posting to this account will be done with a new cost centre.

How to get the cost center for the retro balance.
Hi All
I have this report that gives the retro balance. I get the information from RT and BAL. The problem is it doesn't show the Cost Center for the retro amounts. C1 holds the current periods payments not the retro ones.
Does any one know how can i get the Cost Center of the the amounts that wage type /552 is showing in the RT?
Please Help!!!Hi
I am not sure on the requirement. You are developing a FI report and accessing VA03 which is sales transaction. Anyway for getting cost center you can go to table VBAK,VBAP for line items.
