Basic Cost Accounting

The Starter Pack does not included Basic Cost Accounting - what exactly dont you get regarding Basic Cost Accounting with the Starter Pack? (No Cost Centres, Projects, Segmentation etc..??)
Thank you in advance..

Hi, ok..let me explain again. I have seen this comparison. I also viewed the SAP Starter Package Solution brief that had this comparison on page 2. I realize it shows that no Basic Cost Accounting is available. Based on this, I asked a question here on the forum.
I would like to know what does this mean? What does the NO Basic Cost Accounting not include? Is it NO Profit Centres, NO Projects or what.
I think the question is really straight forward and simple.
Thank you

Hi,
when click accounting button in vf03, there is a cost accounting doc.
1)May i know where is the place to configure to have this cost accounting posting.
2) when click the cost accounting, it leads to ksb5. may i know how to derive the value under value cocurr?
thanks

Hi,
Cost accounting document is posted automatically by system when basic configs have been completed:
1. when the controlling area is defined and the company code has been assigned to that particular controlling area.
2. The number range for the CO activities have been defined.
3. The valid cost objects have been assigned to the transactions (either derivation or manual assignment).
Once the above is in place, automatically CO documents get created and to display the document T.code KSB5 is used.

How to configure Free of charge posting to cost account and not to balance?

Hi,
If we post GI for a free of charge delivery (sample) the following will be posted:
Cost of Sales 100
Finished goods 100
But we do not want to post to Cost of Sales but to a cost account.
What do I need to change?
Regards,
Eric.

Hi Eric van Zundert,
Follow below mentioned procedure;
1. OMJJ - Copy a new movement type as "901" from Movement type "601". For new movement type change the Valuation Modifier to "YAX" instead of "VAX" and SAVE.
2. OBYC - Here go to T/E key "GBB" and do the account determination for the new valuation modifier "YAX" of new movement type (Created in Step1).
3. VOV6 - Go to the Schedule Line Category (which is getting determined in Free of Charge Order) and assign the new Movement Type "901" instead of "601" and save.
Note: - If this Schedule Line Category is used for multiple Sales Orders then copy and create a new Schedule Line Category and do the changes for this one as suggeste din step3 and also do the schedule line category determination.
Now create a new order and do delivery and PGI and check A/c entry, also check during delivery it should pick up new Movement Type.
You need to take help of ur SD Consultant in this case.

Hi,
For cost accounting navigation is
Financials --> Cost accounting
Step 1
Dimentions
Define as "Department" in Dimentions
Step 2
Profit Centers
Define Profit centers for
A1, A2, B, C.....
select the dimention as " Department"
Step 3
Distribution Rule
Define the distribution rule for the expenses say Electricity expenses for A1 --%, A2 %, A3% like wise define the apportionate the percentages.
Now you can able to select the distribution rule in your JV entry.
Pl. try and I hope you can design the template for report in "Cost center Hierarchy" window and you can set the formula also.
Select this template in the Profitcenter report and hope you will get the report as you want.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your prompt reply. When I run ASKBN, it thorws an error that Contra account Contra Account: Acq Value not found for Dep Area 50 as well as 51. FYI ~ 50 AND 51 are differential Dep area (Book - Tax and Book - Stat). Hence i thought of using Bal. sheet account: Acquisition and production costs account as Contra account. After I made this change to AO90,, system thew another error that account 2360100 ( Which is my Bal. sheet account: Acquisition and production costs account) is a Assets Recon Account and can not be used as a Contra account. Can you please throw some idea to handle this?
Also, please let me know the inplecation of setting the areas to reporting only and how is it done. Thank you!!!

Please explain me step by step.So that it could show proper effect on Journal voucher.

Hi,
Order settlement receiver could be any of the following:
1. Cost Center
2. Standing Order
3. Settlement Order
4. WBS Element
Like there are 13 settlement receivers. Based on your requirement, settlement can be done in any of the above. If company wants to settle the order to Cost Center, cost center in Equipment is compulsory as settlement profile can be created automatically. Also in settlement profile, default object type should be maintained accordingly.
As in your case, settlement will be done standing order / settlement order, cost center is not mandatory.

Maheswaran.

Training & Event Management - Integration with Cost Accounting

Dear friends,
I am asking this question because I have no idea of FICO. This question is on integration of Training & Event Mgt with Cost Accounting. What is the meaning of Internal activity allocation & Cost transfer posting? What is the purpose of this integration & how it is reflected in FICO? What benefit a client gets when it is integrated? Who is the sender cost center & who is the receiving cost center and where it is maintained in TEM?
Please help. Please try to reply it in simple language, not in FICO language.
Thanks,
Daniel

CO data extraction: report table CO object product cost accounting

In R/3 I have a report which has been created with the Report Writer (tCode GR31). It uses a library based on the report table CO object product cost accounting (KKBC).
The interesting aspect is that this library contains the characteristic sales order number (KDAUF). Using it as well as other characteristics (cost element, value type, results analysis version), the key figure total costs SWKG has been restricted (in the BI meaning) in a variety of ways, giving several restricted key figures.
I am looking for the corrisponding content objects in BW which could allow obtaining the same result. My issue is that all the objects I've found apparently don't have the detail of 0DOC_NUMBER.
After reading the manual page <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/cb/149b3979e90e1be10000000a114084/frameset.htm">InfoCubes in Controlling</a> I've considered the following InfoCubes:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/64/0a6937adf79120e10000009b38f842/frameset.htm">CO-PC-OBJ: Cost Object Controlling</a> (0PC_C01)
It contains only the data of cost elements linked to production orders. As a consequence, the costs elements linked generically to the customer orders are not present. Please notice that the navigational attribute 0DOC_NUMBER is an attribute of 0PRODORDER.
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/33/6db6385443bd7ae10000009b38f8cf/content.htm">CO-OM: Costs and Allocations (Delta Extraction)</a> (0COOM_C02)
It contains all the cost elements, thus also those which are linked to the customer orders. Unfortunately the data are not at the desired level of detail, being aggregated with respect to 0DOC_NUMBER. When a cost element is linked to a production order, the characteristic partner object (0PIOVALUE) contains the production order number. However for those cost elements which are linked to sales documents, the characteristic partner object has no value.
Do you have any idea what DataSource could give me all the data I need, currentrly extracted in R/3 through the KKBC reporting structure?
Cheers, Davide

Hello all,
the thread Business Content for Product Cost by Sales Order by Christian J explains the very same problem I'm facing - in a much clearer way. Unfortunately his issue hasn't been completely solved.
Has anyone any idea about it?

Cost accounting is active for company code 8888 but no controlling area has been assigned.

Both of these operations are done via the configuration menu.
i have removed the controlling area ,but the same message reappears.I request you to kindly help me in this regard.

Phani Prasad

Dear Phani,
Delting Cost center is not an easy task, it may impect the other areas also. It require analysis from the FI perspective and thus the involvement of FI consultant is must. anyways for the error which you are getting, you can check
KAH2 - Change Cost Element Group --> by using this t-code you can select the nodes related to Cost center and can delete that first.
KSH2 - Change Cost Center Group--> By using this t-code you can select the cost center group node and delete.
I will again recommened take the help of FI for further analysis,
Thanks,
Raja

Budget in Cost Accounts - CM13

Hello.
When I have created cost accounts (represented by cost codes), as I can assign an account a budget without knowing that purchase orders or contracts will be charged to each cost account?.
I need to create fictitious purchase orders, or fictitious contracts to show the budget allocated in the cost account? as reflected in the end I need to see the full budget of the project.
Thanks for your Help
AHR.

I am not certain, but I believe you might be confusing the terms "Budget" and "Commitment." You should enter a single contract in "Budget Contracts" and then allocate the Contract items to your cost accounts.
Then, as you award "Committed" Contracts and Purchase Orders you add those and allocate to the cost accounts. You will then be able to begin to track your Commitments against the Budget.
This is all assuming that you are using Contract Manager as a General Contractor or similar role. Please explain your situation in more detail.

I have a basic seller account on eBay and want to upgrade my account how do I do that

I have a basic sellers account on eBay and need to move to the business account with monthly payments Can I upgrade

Go here:http://pages.ebay.ca/storefronts/subscriptions.htmlThe subscription link is at the bottom of the page. Before you do that though, read the information about fees.Generally it is not considered a good idea to have a Store unless you have at least 50 unique items to list.Stores are normally opened by experienced sellers with many items that may be slow moving. There is no particular price break with Stores-- divide the number of 'free' listings by the monthly payment on the Store. Nor is there any more or less visibility.
