Batch creation of 2ndary cost elements

Hi Experts,
Is there a program that will allow me to create secondary elements in a batch? I can only create secondary cost elements one by one right now.
Thanks!

Hi,
No, this BAPI is not available in LSMW. If you want to use LSMW, use IDoc with message type COELEM or just record KA01 transaction.

Creation of Primary Cost Elements at FI area

Masters/Experts,
When i am trying to creat PCEs at FI area using Tcode-FS00, i am not getting a new screen after punching the EDIT COST ELEMENT pushbutton, infact i am getting the message "EDIT COST ELEMENT IS ONLY POSSIBLE FOR PL ACCOUNTS".
I can see the Radio button is on the P&L account statement and not on the balance sheet radio button.
Points will be awarded for the expertise.
Thanks,
Maria

Hi maria,
While creating or changing the G/L a/c by FS00, click the P/L acct radio button.Also mention the P/L acct statement type.If it is to be maintained in Retained Earnings, u can check 'X' (usually).after the account is created u can go by "edit cost Element" or by TCode KA01 and create the Primary Cost Element.
Please let me know if u r still facing the problems.
Please reward points if you find this to be useful.

Creation of secondary cost element

Hai SAP Gurus
Could any one please let me now how to create secondary cost element in SPRO.
Thanks.

You can create secondary cost elements in KA06. There is no pre-requisite of creating GL accounts.
Cost elements describe the origin of costs. Cost elements are defined as either
primary and secondary. Primary cost elements arise through the consumption of
production factors that are sourced externally. Secondary cost elements arise
through the consumption of production factors that are provided internally.
The Chart of accounts contains all general ledger (GL) accounts belonging to
Financial Accounting.
Expenses and Revenue accounts in Financial Accounting correspond to
Primary Cost and Revenue Elements respectively.
Secondary Cost Elements are used exclusively in CO to identify internal cost
Flows such as assessments or settlements. They do not have corresponding
General ledger accounts in FI and are defined in CO only.
When you create a cost element, you must assign a cost element category. This
Assignment determines the transactions for which you can use the cost element.
You can create cost elements automatically by making default settings that are used
To specify the cost element, or cost element interval that you wish to create.
You can create cost elements manually in bulk with the help of LSMW or BDC.
Primary Cost Element Categories:
1 - Primary costs / cost-reducing revenues
3 - Accrual / deferral per surcharge
4 - Accrual / deferral per debit = actual
11 - Revenus
12 - Sales Discounts
22 - External Settlement
Secondary Cost Element Categories:
21 - Internal Settlement
31 - Order / Project results analysis
41 - Overhead Rates
42 - Assessment
43 - Internal activity allocation
50 - Project related incoming orders: Sales
51 - Project related incoming orders: Others
52 - Project related incoming orders: Costs
61 - Earned Value

GL account and Cost elements

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
Priya

Hi 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.

Problem with a cost element

dear all,
a cost element was created from a society x in ca y.
now this cost element creats some problem for society d and b in ca Y.
some regiastration are made on this cost element so I know that I can delete it until 31.12.2010.
what kind of solution can I have? we don't want tha the registrations made on this account are relevant for controlling.
this is a cost element of type 11.
If I create a cdc Dummy and I imput it every time that I made registration on this account what kind of impact I will have in controlling?
i read that I have to block th account 206131 and create new in copy of it. What kind of impact I will Have?
please help me to solve this issue because we have the ragistration blocked at the moment.
thanks
V.

why you don't suggest me to use this program?
the entries on my cost element are made with tc VL01N..
until 31 of july this kind of registration creates a document FI and a document Profit center.
after the creation of the cost element this kind of registration creates a Fi document, profit center document and a CO document.
I don't want the creation of CO document.
Actually in COEP I have 24 input. I try to simulate the same case in test client.
I create the cost element, I do the same registration, and I have 3 type of document.
then I run the program RKACOR20.
at the end I have only 2 documents: FI and profit centre. (the same situation that I had in july)
then I run tc KA04 and I can delete the cost element.
you think that it is so dangerous to do in production system?
what kind of problem this program can creates to me?
thanks a lot
V.

Creation of cost elements automatically

Hi,

Even I need to do same thing I when I select " automatic creation of cost elements" ??
I tried selecting " automatic creation of cost elements". and I checked in KA03 whether it had created any cost element automatically. but it didnt created any thing...
Please suggest..

Dear Santosh Dharana,
Good Question. i can clarify you. this question
1. when you select in ob13 create cost elements manually
when your are using in obk2 we have to maintain here Acc from no. to Acc to no. ranges for Gl's and cost element categeory.
after we can run batch in put in obk3 & SM 35 it's updated successfully.
Note: After execute, *when you are try create another GL account with cost element we have to give cost element categeory by manually.
2.when you select in ob13 create cost elementsAutomatically

after we can run batch in put in obk3 & SM 35 it's updated successfully.
Note: After execute, when you are try create another GL account with cost element we don't have to give any cost element categeory here system automatically give .
Please try it. i worked for this one

How do I migrate Cost Element Groups in a batch ?

I want to migrate Cost Element Groups from 4.7 to ECC6. We've been exporting/importing them individually, but is there a faster way to grab multiple groups and move them to the new environment ?
One thing of note is that the Chart of Accounts is changing between 4.7 and ECC6 and named differently.

Error in cost element creation

Hello,
I have just checked the result of my batch input for cost element creation.
For asset cost element (category 90) I use the LSMW
Forother cost element (charge, products...) I use the classic CO-CEL settings.
For example:
- if I define the following accounts : 2030000000, 2060000000, 2990000000, 6010000000, 6050000000, 6990000000
then all the cost elements are created but not those with 99 extension : 2990000000, 6990000000.
Is there a reason and a solution to that dump?
Regards
Pascal Cuenin

Hi,
I suggest you to use OAK7 transaction to create cost elements with 90 category. There is no need in LSMW for this.

Eli

Creation primary cost elements

Primary cost elements can be generated in batch for creation, but then it seems to me it's all of them or nothing.
Is this also possible for 1 year for instance or for a limited number of cost elements, via another transaction for instance. MASS create?

Hi Walter,
First of all you have to select automatic creation of cost elements for your chart of account in OB13.
Next in OKB2, you have to specify the cost element category for the range or single cost elemets.
Next create batch input session in OKB3, here you can give from and to valid date.
You have to execute the created batch input session in SM35.

Sales Order - order reason - cost element error in PO creation

Good day Friends,
We have a third party order scenario in our group among different company codes (FI-SD). This scenario is working fine among the existing companies.
Now there is a requirement from finance department to capture the revenues at different cost centers based on the order reason selected in the sales order.
When order reason is mentioned in the sales order the system is giving error at the time of purchase order creation as u201CCreate account 123456 for 16.05.2010 as a cost element in controlling area INTu201D
Where as if the sales order is created without order reason there is no problem in purchase order creation.
Here the account 123456 cannot be created as cost element because it will stop the other existing processes in this controlling area.
Thanks

I can tell you why it's occurring and maybe give you a few suggestions on what to do. The G/L account assignment for the third party sales process is determined based on the account key/modifier assigned to the transaction and the valuation class assigned to the material. In this case, the account key/modifier is determined based on the account assignment category assigned to the purchased order (in the standard system the account assignment category is X for third party processing and the account modifier is VAX). You would find the G/L account based on the combination of the account key = GBB, account modifier and valuation class using t-code (OBYC).
Saying all that, currently that combination is finding a G/L account that is not setup as a cost element (probably your cost of goods sold account) and that's normal for these types of posting. You can only make postings to cost centers for accounts that are setup as cost elements, so currently the system will not let make a posting to a cost center.
So if you want this transaction to post to a cost center, but don't want to create a cost element for this account, then you must use a different G/L account for these postings. The simplest options would be to either change the account modifier assigned to the account assignment category or assign a different valuation class to these materials. Once you've change one of those you can now assign a different G/L account to that combination in OBYC and create that account as a cost element.
thanks,

Creation of PL Element without it being a cost element

Hi
I have to asign two PL elements in T code 0KEK for transfer of material between two profit centers. The two elements should not be <b>cost elements</b> but they should be PL Elements to be used only in PCA.
We have to create PL elements through FS00. But the system automatically creates a new cost element when i create a GL as a PL nature. Pls let me know how to create a PL element without it being a cost element.

Sanil Bhandari

Hi Sanil
IN OB13
Controlling integration tab
select : Manual creation of cost element and create GL accts.
Hope this works

Automatic creation of cost elements

Dear All,
The automtic creation of cost elements functionality is not working for some GL accounts in production. When new GL accounts are created, the same are not created as cost elements. All the standard settings viz 'selection of automatic creation' in controlling area configuration, creation of number ranges in OKB2 etc are in place. We posted in OSS and they are not able to find reasons why this is happening.
Has anyone faced a situation like this? Please post your valuable thoughts and share your inputs. We currently have a log created by user on this and pending for quite sometime.
Thanks in advance
Venkatesh

Hi,
Yes. We do face problem like this often. We wriggle out by updating through manually when we are very nearer to go-live date. Otherwise, we can create an abap program and meet the deficiency.
Trust this helps much!
Cheers!

Automatic Cost Element Creation

I understand how to set the ranges OKB2 and run the batch job based on OKB3 to generate the cost elements based on the ranges but does having OKB2 configuration in place automatically setup cost elements for any new individual GL accounts that are created without having to run OKB3?

The note 415572 indicates that it applies when you use report RFBISA10 to copy a G/L account to another company code. Source company code and target company code have the same chart of accounts, however, they are assigned different controlling areas. The cost element in the controlling area of the target company code is not created automatically through RFBISA10 inspite of this, although you maintained the default settings for this account in Transaction OKB2.
But my guess is that the system should create a cost element upon just saving once we have appropriate OB13 and OKB2 without resorting to OKB3. Based on the SAP's documentation.

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,
Mallika

Hi,
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
