How to handle blocked cost centers from Payroll to FI (RPCIPE00)

We have the need to do retro payroll adjustments - the problem is that many times the original cost centers are blocked. This causes errors in the feed to finance via program (RPCIPE00). How can we avoid this error? We have considered using payroll substitution - but we understand that this will not send just the adjustment amount to the substituted cost center - but in effect create a transaction reversing all of the original transaction and then repost.
Has anyone tried an enhancement point in RPCIPE00 to try to address this problem? Any other suggestions?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi
The salary is sent to GL and charge payroll account XXXXX
When you import the employee time to Projects, you will distribute the expenditures. Verify you set up the auto accounting rules so the project labor costs will debit the project cost account on GL and credit the payroll account XXXXX.
At the end of each period you will see that the employee salary was allocated to the projects.
If the labor rate you use are not accurate, you will see that payroll account XXXXX is not totally offset. Remaining balance of account XXXXX has not been absorbed in project costs. Depending on the significance of the residuals, you may consider updating the labor rate and recosting.

Cost centers to be blocked during allocation run

Dear All,
Can some one clarify me whether i have to block Cost centers (for users) while doing the Allocation run.
Thanks and Regards,
Gokul

hello
actually your question is not very much clear and necessity for the lock or block the cost centers.
Actually when you are creating cost center master, you can lock the secondary cost postings from the other costcenters while doing the distibution or assessement, if not done at the time of creation cost center master, you can lock the secondary cost postings at any time.

User Ids Corresponding to particular cost centers

Hi Experts,
We have few cost centres which are BLOCKED now.
We need to find out the Users having these cost centres in their attribute and ultimately remove theses BLOCKED cost centers from those Usre's attribute.
Is there any way / Table / Function module etc, by we can find out Which Cost center has access to Which users?
Pls let me know.
Thanks,
Dhananjay

Hi
cost center blocking can be done only in ECC system only.
but in SRM at attribute wise at position level / or root level you can make EXCLUSIVE so that this cost center will not be available for those dept or at their position level.

Preventing Blocked Cost Center in SRM Search help

Hi All ,
We need to prevent the blocked cost centers in the search help in SRM .
I checked the BADI'S
BBPF4_READ_ON_ENTRY_
BBPF4_READ_ON_EXIT_ and method GET_COSTCENT. but both of these will not trigger when we give the cost center in search help and press start.
so is there any other BADI or Customer exit for this requriment.
Please help
Regards
Channappa

Hello,
These BADI can not be used for this kind of search help, as this is an R/3 search help and not an SRM search help.

Change Validity Period of Cost centers ??

Hi,
Is it possible to change the validity period of cost centers ??, like in my case we are having validity period until 12/31/9999, so because of this even when some one blocks the cost centers they still appear in the F4 list of cost centers!!! used at many places to search for cost centers.
My requirement is to restrict the blocked cost centers from appearing in the search help list for cost centers.
Thanks.

Hello Rahul,
Validity of cost centers can be changed in transaction OKEON : Standard hierarchy of cost center change.
Select your cost center, In basic data tab you can change the validity dates.
This should help.
Thanks

Block postings to cost centers that have exceeded budget

Hello
How to block postings to cost centers that have exceeded budget?
How can you make this assessment? Monthly, yearly or both?
Thanks!!

Hi,
The budget in cost centres does not have availability control. You can use a workaround with internal oders. Please, search SDN for this info. No monthly control is possible in standard configuration with this option.
If you choose to implement FM, then budget control flexibility there is quite powerful and you can build whatever logic you want. Just make notice, that the budget won't be managed in cost centres, but in FM objects (fund centres, commitment items, etc.)

How can I use a GL for multiple Cost Centers?

Hello all,
I would appreciate your comments on the following issue. POINTS AVIALABLE. I have setup several cost centers in my Sandbox. The cost centers represent departments that my client has eg Finance & Accounting, Marketing, Shipping/Warehouse.
I have created cost elements for the P&L accounts using OKB2, OKB3, SM35. My client sometimes has situations where they use the same GL for several cost centers. For example, the Freight Expense GL acct is used by Shipping/Warehouse cost center. However, someone in the Accounting/Finance cost center could also use that same GL account as well if they were shipping some documents. I cant use OKB9, since the GL is not used exclusively by the Shipping/Warehouse Cost Center.
If, for example, we create a Sales order, I want to be able to specify somewhere that the freight for that SO must go to the Shipping/Warehouse Cost center. Is there a field in an SO, Delivery document or billing document where we can tell the system that this freight is being used for Shipping/Warehouse cost center?
I know if the Accounting Cost center uses the Freight GL, we can specify the Cost Center in FB50, so that is not a big concern.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Sunil,
Thanks for your response. I tried go to VL02N and selected the line item and then went to 'GOTO'-- 'Header' --'Financial Processing'. I don't see a field 'Cost Center'. All I see are the following:
Billing block
Billing status
Totals status
Paym.guar.proc.
Financ.doc.no.
Opening date
Validity end
Billing Date
Billing date
Depreciation
PresentDate
Number of days
But if I select the item, won't the whole cost of the item be sent to the cost center? I am trying to just get the Freight charged on the item to get posted to the Shipping/Warehouse Cost center.
Please advise.
Thanks.

T CODE FOR BLCKED /UNBLOCKED IN THE COST CENTERS

hI,
i WANT TO SEE ALL CSOT CENTERS WHICH IS BLOCKED /AND UNBLOCKED PLEASE TELL ME THE T.CODE FOR THAT

Hi,
I understand that you want to check the cost center for the locks activated for various transactions. Go to transaction KS13 - give the cost center hierarchy for which you want to see the cost centers and execute.
The report will be displayed showing the locks for the various postings. This can be further controlled by changing the layout as desired.
Good Luck!!! Please assign points if useful!!!!!!!

Blocking Cost Center in SRM

Hi eveyone,
We are working in SRM 4.0, classic scenario. I need to block certain cost centers during shopping. I have delimited those cost centers in PPOSA_BBP. Hence, now they are not valid in the org structure any more. But, while shopping the cost center is still visible & available.
Can anyone please tell me how can I block the cost centers, so that they are no available for shopping in SRM.
Also, I tried deleting the object assignment also, but that did not help either.
Also, kindly note that I cannot block those cost centers in R3, since we require them, incase if there is a need, then the PR can be raised from R3.
Kindly help.
Regards,
Bhakti.

Hi Joshi,
Go to T-code OOCU_RESP and you need to select the rule number...it might be customized. So chose that..for Example for Cost centre manager it might be 4000001.
Select the rule number and press enter, Here you will find the list of cost centre manager for your SRM system.
click on Overview and press Ctrl +F and type the use id of the user(manager). If he is maintained as as Cost centre manager.
Once you found an entry click on that which takes you to next screen where you will be able to see the list of cost centres he is responsible.
If you remove any cost centre from there So from next time if any user selects that particular CC since there is no CC approvers, enduser will not be able to see the approver.
This way you can remove the cost centre from a particular user.
Please let me know if you are still facing any issues.

Assigning Cost Centers to Automatic postings

Hi,
We have a situation where we want to make the 'cost center' field a required field, for all GL postings.
However, If I just change the the config setting in the field status code, there are automatic postings from SD, MM etc. that may be blocked from being posted.
I did some searching around the forums, but I can't find a way to address this issue. For a goods movement, the system can assign a GL account number using the account determination. But is there also a way to assign Cost Centers to these postings?
Does OKB9 handle these postings from MM/SD? Or is it only for automatic postings such as exchange rate differences and tax?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Sam

hi Sam,
OKB9 handles any automatic postings (MM, SD, etc.), just give it a try! Of course it only works for P/L accounts, not for B/S ones. It does not make much sense to post controlling objects on B/S accounts (at least for me).

Substitute Cost Centers

Hello,
I need help with substitution cost centers.
Our positions default a cost center on IT0001. This is the employee's master cost center. We also use IT0027. This is where we want the expenses to go to.
Our issue is this: If a cost center is blocked or closed it fails during FI posting. I was reading other threads and it was suggested to use a substitute cost center set up.
I have done this in our test environment and it is not working. We blocked an employee's cost center (the one on IT0027) and added a substitute cost center via the IMG. When I ran the PC00_M99_CIPE again, it still errored out.
What am I missing?
Please help since this is a big issue for us.
Thanks,
Suparna

I think FI will write substitution rule for your original cost center and then whatever posting you will direct to original cost center will get posted to substitute cost center.
I am always referring your previous threads about this and I don't think you will be doing retro every pay period to your blocked cost center.
Regardless, just run query to see the EE's in your original cost center (of course this will not be useful to FI) to do some audit on HCM side. Posting program will take care of everything.
I hope this helps.

see the Allocation type in Builiding Block wat is meant By AA

Hi,
Direct activity allocation involves the measuring, recording, and allocating of business services performed.
To do this, you must create the relevant (measurable) tracing factors (allocation bases which can be used as cost drivers). In Cost Center Accounting these are known as activity types.
Activity allocation occurs, for example, when business transactions are confirmed or when posting activity quantities to accounts.
The system multiplies the activity produced by the price of the activity type.
To do so, for the cost centers or business processes involved, you must plan activity types either using prices set manually or using subsequent iterative price calculation.

Open PO report with GL's and Cost Centers

Hi Gurus,
Is there a report that already exists where we can run open purchase
orders not received for non-inventory items that pulls the quantity,
price, GL account code, and cost center account code?
Thanks
Anusha

Hi,
May be the requirement will not be met in a single report.Please check the t code ME2K with selection parameter as we101 which gives you the open POs for that cost center or range of cost centers.
EKPO gives price details.
and check the table EKKN for GL account and cost center for that PO.
If you want open POs check the T code ME80FN.
