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.

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.

Hope this helps.

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

Blocked cost center in PO

Hello , a PO has been created. It is impossible to do goods receipt on the PO since the cost center is blocked(and should be deleted). We are unable to modify the PO since the cost center in also present in the SC. how should we tackle this?

check with business team the possibilities of unlock cost center and do good receipt.
or
change the cost center in the Purchase order and do good receipt.
if you were already Invoice done for this PO, you must cancell the invoice to change the cost center in the PO.

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

Stored Procedure to block cost center or profit center to present in JE

Hi ...
I have a case where i need to block if either one of the cost center or the Profit Center is not present in the manual journal entry.
Below is my Stored Procedure which i have written....My Problem is that this block allows me to update only if both the Cost Center and the Profit Center is Present and does not allow if any one is present.
IF @object_type='30' AND (@transaction_type='A' or @transaction_type='U')
BEGIN
if(Select Count(*) from OJDT T0 INNER JOIN JDT1 T1 ON T0.TransId=T1.TransId
INNER JOIN OACT T2 ON T2.AcctCode=T1.Account
where T2.ExportCode LIKE '1%' And (isnull(T1.ProfitCode,0)='0' OR ISNULL(T1.OcrCode2,'')='') and
T0.TransId=@list_of_cols_val_tab_del)>0
begin
SET @error = 0201
SET @error_message= 'R1'
end
end
What could be the problem...?

Hi Gopi
Try This
IF @transaction_type IN ('A','U') and @Object_type = 30
BEGIN
IF EXISTS (SELECT T0.TransId FROM dbo.JDT1 T0
WHERE ((T0.ProfitCode ='' OR T0.ProfitCode IS NULL) and (T0.[OcrCode2]='' OR T0.[OcrCode2] IS NULL) and (T0.[OcrCode3]='' OR T0.[OcrCode3] IS NULL) and
(T0.[OcrCode4]='' OR T0.[OcrCode4] IS NULL) and (T0.[OcrCode5]='' OR T0.[OcrCode5] IS NULL)) AND T0.TransId = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
Begin
SET @Error = 1111
SET @error_message = 'At least one cost center is mandatory!'
End
End

F4 help for Cost Center in SRM 7.0

Hi,
My requirement is to display customized F4 help for the Cost Center(i.e. user specific search help maintained in Z table) field during the creation of the Shopping Cart.
I've created my own Search Help, and I'm looking for a BADI which will fit in my reuirement.
So far I've tried BADI 'BBP_DRIVER_DETREMINE ' for the same, but it's not getting called for providing F4 help.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Amit

Hello all,
This is to correct my posting on Nov 16, 2009 8:20 AM. I have done further research and testing and finally got the multiple GL working. I have to remove the authorisation for object BBP_FUNCT on activity BE_FE_HELP to disable the serach help function. This way, the user will see the allowed list of GLs instead of a search help.

Cost Center in SRM

Hi Friends,
In which database table the cost centers are stored in srm?
Thanks,
Atanu

What is your requirement? Do you want to find cost centres in ordered SC?
Go to BBP_PD, click on the Accounting section, you will get a GUID. Put this under BBP_PDACC.
Or else use function module BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL, provide your SC number in import parameter I_OBJECT_ID. You will get all your accounting details under table E_ACCOUNT. This is the best option if you are developing a report

Nikhil

Cost center Error in SRM

Hi,
We are working on SRM 4.0. when the user is trying to create a shopping cart from catalog he gets the error message as
"you don't have the acces to the cost object xyz12.please return to the cost assignment section and correct".
We have given the access to that cost center in SRM even also he is getting the same error.
He does not have any problem with single line item against the same cost center. problem gets only when he is going to create with multiple line items in shopping cart against the same cost center.
Request you to please advise me where i need to check to overcome the issue.

Hi Sri,
Is this the exact error you are receiving, it does not seem familiar? Is this a customer message in yor system?

Best practice for HR while cost center is blocked

Hi Experts,
Back ground
Cost center is blocked because the legal entity is demerged.
Some of the employees of the outgoing company are retained in existing legal entity.
Their current cost centers are of the existing entity.
All the historical costcenters of the outgoing entity are blocked.
Situation
While there is a retro payment the system is rejecting as the old cost centers are blocked.
Workarounds used
Open the cost center for posting and then manually transfer the amount into desired cost center and then re-close the Costcenter.
SAP Suggestion
Use substitute cost center so that all costs are colloected their and do the manual transfer of cost to desired ones.
Could not use the same as business has to do the same manual activity.
Solution
Taken access key into the posting driver to change the cost center to current while there is an occurence of blocked cost center.
Requirement
Want to use the standard posting driver by removing all customization in upgrade.
Now the Qtn is
What is the best business process followed by FI and HR guys in organization to handle such scenarios?

Old question, but I have the same problem at this moment.
We also are looking into 2 solutions:
1. use the substitution costcenters
2. Create a custom function in our payroll scheme and modify the costcenter during payroll-run. Normally the costcenter will eb saved in the clusters and will be read from the clusters in the fico-run.
Anybody some good advice for this?

Cost center change

we want to change cost center right now, I'm concerned about the PO and fixed asset with those old cost center, may I know the table for PO, fixed asset assignment?
for the open PO(done goods receipt, but not invoice verification), PO(done both GR and IR) and fixed assets which are already posted acquisition, fixed assets already done depreciation, how can we change the cost center assignment? if changed, any serious impact to the month and year end closing for system(for example, auto-payment can not run, depreciation can not run)?
Thanks

Hi,
In KS02, we can't shorten cost center life, we can only change analysis period, only in OKEON, we can change the validity period.
our business user propose following for accrual posting if cost center change (use new cost center to replace old cost center)
-Cost center need to be deactivated.
-And then accrue need to reclass to new cost center.
-After that block the cost center
but i check the system, we can only change validity period in OKEON.
in KS02, we can block posting by locking primary cost posting.
so my understanding is follows: (1).okeon, (3) KS02. but I 'm not sure the t-code to use for the second step,accrue need to reclass to new cost center, can anyone advise?
also if we change validity period to end this month, after this month, user can't post to that cost center, why we need block cost center(step3), is it redundant?

Retro master data change for previous cost center

HI All,
Could any one please reply on how I can unblock 'blocked cost center' to make retro changes for Master data.
Thank you in advance.
Abhay

Hi Abhay,
1. Unblock the cost center for the period to apply the Master data changes. Unblock it via transaction KS02.
2. Once the legacy cost center is unblocked, immediately proceed with master data updates.
3. Once master data is updated, proceed with restoring the blocked status of the cost center that was used (Unblock).
Thanks,
Dhiraj

Authorization Object for Cost center

Hi Experts;
We are using SRM 7, classic scenario.
We are copying SRM tcode: BBP_BW_SC4 to a Z report and modify it. The users will be given the access to display the status of thier SC.
How can I restrict the user from displaying the SC of other department's? Is there an authorization object for cost center in SRM? is there any other away to restrict the users from displaying SC related to other depts.
Appreciate your help

by the way, why are you not using the standard SAP powl queries? they anyways restrict you from viewing others SCs except your team
any ways, if you are copying that report this BBP_BW_SC4, then change this
PARAMETERS pa_coce TYPE kostl OBLIGATORY DEFAULT lv_costcenter.
to
PARAMETERS pa_coce TYPE kostl OBLIGATORY DEFAULT lv_costcenter no-display.
