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.

Eli

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
Rajan

Dear 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.

Cost Center and GL account in Sales Order / Delivery

I have a requirement where we want user to specify what cost center and GL account should be used while posting goods issue.
Currently GL account and Cost Center is automatically determined based on OBYC configuration.
Is there a way user can populate Cost center and GL account at Sales order or Delivery document level and what ever they have specified will be used for Posting Goods Issue.
If user doesnt specify anything then standard OBYC determination should take place.
I looked at OVF3 transaction which can default cost center (though no GL account) but its not useful in our requirement.
I also looked at OKB9 transaction but not sure if we can use it either.
Again we want user to enter Cost center and GL account at either SO or Delivery document level and then that should be used for Post goods issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
In delivery under tab GOODS MOVEMENT DATA
After valuation type column COST CENTER & G/L Account column available
Now with the help of FI consultant make it change mode so user can maintain also I observe that if delivery created without reference to order then that fields are in change mode means user cn maintain data for this but if with reference to order it is disable mode
Check in t-code OMJJ FIELD SELECTION FOR MOVEMENT TYPE
Put movement 601
Then select movement type and double click on filed selection (from 201)
Then go to additional account assignment and for cost centre make it optional or requirement
or Else under field selection enjoy for movement type 602 indsert field KONT0 and KOSTL and check
If this can not work there is option field selection for G/L account check that with FI

But when I use the FB01 , the profit center is not available
So It s possible to display the field Profit center for reconciliation account without the New Ledger ??
Thanks for your help

Hi
If you are referring to Asset Recon account - You can not enter any Pr Ctr manually in it...
Just ensure
1. Cost Center is maintained in Asset master
2. Maintain KOSTL in T code ACSET for Acq Posting and transaction type *
3. Create APC account as Statistical cost element
Whether New GL or not, PC in Asset recon a/c depends on these settings.... You cant enter it manually in the APC acount

Adding Cost Center to existing account

We found out that we need to add a cost center to an existing account that has a couple journal entries posted to it.
What is the correct way to go about this?

Hello,
I'm worried but you can not assign cost center to posted items. There is one way I thought that, If you don't create a cost element for this account yet, please transfer amount to a dummy account without cost center(if cost element created for this account please use DUMMY cost centers) and then you can create a cost element for this account. After that you can transfer amount from dummy account to cost element with correct cost center.

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):

Error in document: HRPAY 0000008174
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.
Thanks again.

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 TR

Your 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.

Just check the G/L account assigned in the PO against the cost center, The G/L account assigned may not be the correct one, Check out if any validation is there for the combination, contact your FI-CO guy as there are always restrictions unknown to a MM guy.

Posting is happening in a blocked cost center , how to prevent this ?

During allocation of cost , credit entries are being posted to a cost center where all postings are blocked . To find the reason I searched SAP notes and found 203521 and 512403 where it's mentioned during cost allocation credit posting can go to a blocked cost center and in cost allocation SAP system does not correctly evaluate the lock indicators .
Program corrections provided in those two notes are for lower versions not suitable for ECC 5.0 ; so can anybody suggest me the most relevant note ? OR can anybody suggest me any alternative way ( other than implementating program correction ) to prevent this credit posting in a blocked cost center ?

Go to OBA5

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 / Anders

Hi 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)

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 Volkov

this 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.

Difference between Cost Center and GL Account

Hi All,
I want to know that "what is the difference between Cost Center and GL Account."
Regards

Hi Vidya,
Few points:
1. GL is a FI object and used for external reporting, whereas cost centers are CO objects and used for internal management reporting.
2. In GL you classify the nature of expenses like telephone expenses, travelling Exp. Salary exp etc., whereas by cost center you decide where are expenses were incurred, like Production department, Mkt. Department, HR department etc.
3. You post the FI transactions at GL level whereas the cost center are assigned to those GL account for getting the more detailed information about the expenses.
4. GL accounts are P&L and BS account and only P&L expenses accounts are posted to cost cneters. And you can choose to post it by cost center or not by defining the GL as cost element. If you do not define any GL as cost element, it will not post to cost centers.
I hope it answers your question.
thanks,
Vivek
