Book cost to WBS and Cost Center

Hello All,
TEST SYSTEM
I post cost to WBS ( 5150 real ) and cost center (1001 real). The wbs 5150 is assign to cost center 1001.
I do not have validation and subs.
The system allow me to book cost to both cost object (WBS/Cost Center)
How does the system recognize this.
To my knowledge even though you booked cost to both cost object the system will automatically make wbs as statiscal.
Is this correct ?
Please advise
Thanks
bali

Hi,
If your WBS is not defined as statistical in the master data, then booking to WBS and cost centre, will create statistical posting to cost centre and not to WBS.

Claim Creation, capture of cost against WBS and Payment to Vendor.

Hi,
My Scenario is as follow-
I have a customer which is afftected by my project. He is affected and the has carried some work on his own to restore the things which are affected due to my project.
Now he is claiming that amount from my company and after accessing, we realise that that is a real damage and we need to pay to the customer.
Hence i am trying to map it in SAP as follow-
I am Creating a claim with cost and assigning a WBS element to it. Now the cost of the claim is not getting reflecting anywhere at WBS element. I am aware about the BADI - NOTIF_COST_CUS_CHECK.
I have not activated this BADI but the description says that when activated, it should create an internal order when i save the claim. Now i want to know what are the effect of cost of claim on WBS (Will it be displayed as planned or actual cost on WBS and is there any relation with the status of claim?)
The other question is that if i am creating this claim as a claim of customer to whom i need to pay certain amount, how WBS and internal order will help me in executing the payment to customer?
Waiting for advice please.
Thanks
Rajesh

Report Needed to show WBS and Profit Center on Invoices

I need a report of open and cleared invoices that show the WBS and Profit Center.
I have tried the FBL5N and it doesn't populate it. Any other reports out there???

You dont have to join them. Keep both profit center and cost centre in the cube. While defining the update rules, derive profit center from cot centre.
In the report , keep profit center and cost centre as free char.
The users can dynamically drill down and view the report for cost centre or profit centre or both.
Another idea is to keep profit centre as a nav attribute in the cube and in that case, you dont have to derive profit centre from cost centre in the update rules.

Difference between cost component structure and cost component split

can anyone explain me the difference between cost component structure and cost component split with simple example
thanks
santosh

Hi ,
cost component structure
Definition
Number that identifies the structure.
Use
In Product Cost Controlling, the cost component structure determines how the results of material costing are updated. The cost component structure groups the costs for each material according to cost component (such as material costs, internal activities, external activities, and overhead). If the material is used in the production of another material, the cost component split (which breaks down the costs according to material costs, internal activities, external activities, overhead, and so forth) remains in the system when the costs are rolled up.
In the cost component split, you also define the following for material costing:
Which part of the costs are fixed costs
Which costs are
cost of goods manufactured and what are sales and administration costs
Which costs are relevant for stock valuation, commercial inventory valuation and tax inventory valuation
When the cost component structure is assigned to the organizational units, you can specify that two cost component splits are created:
Main cost component split
This is the principal cost component split, meaning that it is used in the standard cost estimate, which can be used to update the material master. The main cost component split can be a cost component split for cost of goods manufactured or a primary cost component split.
Auxiliary cost component split
This can exist in addition to the main cost component split, and is not used in the standard cost estimate. It can be used for analysis purposes, in that it can be displayed with the cost estimate and passed on to Profitability Analysis.
In Cost Center Accounting, the cost component structure determines how the results of the activity price calculation are updated. The cost component structure groups the costs for each activity type of the cost center according to components (such as material costs and labor costs). If an internal activity allocation is carried out, the cost component split (which breaks down the costs according to material, labor costs, and so forth) is retained at cost rollup.
If the cost component split is not to be retained, you can create a switching structure for the cost component structure for Cost Center Accounting. In the switching structure, you specify which sender cost component goes into which receiver cost component.
<b>require a cost component structure to calculate prices using cost component split.</b>
For each cost component structure you define a component such as energy, personnel, or raw materials. The components combine all costs occuring for a particular cost element area. In this way, you ensure greater cost transparency in activity price calculation when putting together the activity type prices - for example, it becomes easier to find how much of the activity price is taken up by the material costs.
In activity allocation, the cost component structure remains constant, meaning that the receiver takes on the sender cost elements and that the allocated costs are posted in the same cost components in the receiver as in the sender.
A cost component structure can have a maximum of 40 defined cost components.
Cost components are assigned to cost elements. You thereby determine which cost elements go to which rows in the structure, and how these components are updated in price calculation.
Hope ths helps

Cost Owned Transactions and Cost Derived Transactions

Hi,
Need to Know the details about Cost Owned Transactions and Cost Derived Transactions in 'Periodic Item Cost Change Report'.
Regards,
Abdul Wasi

Hi,
In status control the setting is status of plan and hence the derived transactions will always be generated in planned status and you have to fix them through TPM18.
In order to post it through TBB1 itself, the control setting should have same status option. But check with the business also whether this is not going to have any other effect because this is at the central company code and valuation area level. All derived transactions will have the same status of the operative transactions itself.

Ravi

Cost to Cost Assessment (KSU5) and Cost to Product Assessment (KEU5)

Hi Guys,
I need your expert advice!
When I check KSB1 per cost center, I noticed that I have some unallocated cost for the past three months. This is due to some late entries that I didnt notice and the fact that I already ran the assessment earlier. Please advice how can I allocate the unallocated cost for the past 3 months? Is there such thing as a Year To Date (YTD) Assessement?.
I'll appreciate your advice.
Best Regards,
Nel

Hi,
You can try to run your assessment again (it will reverse the results of the previous run and post a new one). Check before doing this, if your cycle is taking all costs or it could be limited by G/L accounts.

Eli

WBS and funds center

Hi
Kindly explain the process flow for forming the link between WBS element and the funds center:
1. should we assign the WBS to the funds center and commit. item combination at the time of creation of PR
2. Is there single step, which assign all the WBS elements in the project, that can be assigned to the funds center and commit. item
3. Can we assign the budget to Fuds center + commit. item + WBS element combination.
regards
srikrishna

Hi srikrishna,
1. To assign fund center to WBS. First you should create the fund center (FM2i). Then assign the fund center to WBS (FRC7). Assign commitment to fund center (FM9K). Then generate budget structure (FMG5).
2. There's a way to simplify the fund center assignment to WBS, it's by creating WBS Element group for all WBS in that project (CJSG). Create WBS Group before assigning fund center to WBS (FRC7), then you don't have to assign the fund center to WBS one by one, instead just assign it to the WBS Group.
While, I'm not really clear about the the 3rd question.
Hope it helps, CMIIW...I'm still learning PS also.
Cheers

Unable to caluclate cost in CJ20 for wbs and network level.

Hi All,
I have a query in the project Builder(CJ20N).
I created Project>WBS Elements>Network> and posted costs via assigning activity.
If I select an activity and go to edit>Costs, the "calculate costs" option is activated. ( I get "Message Costs were calculated: See menu Edit -> Costs -> Planned - Actual")
And also I am able to view the cost in Edit>Costs> Plan/Actual.. "Activity/Element". Please see the screenshots of Plan /actual comparison.
However if I select the WBS or Network and go to edit>Costs, the "calculate costs" option is disabled (frozen) and also in the same path Plan/Actual> "activity/Element" option is disabled (Frozen).
Request you to review the attached screenshot and advise is there any way to defreeze the option "calculate costs" and view the costs in WBS and Network level?

Hi,
why you want to see plan cost in project builder CJ20n? any specific reason please let us know...
every structure report having this kind of feather as CN41n/CNS41 then check these two report.
and lots of hierarchical report is there for seeking plant cost in project as Gokul suggested above.
so in project builder only plan VS actual cost can be look like by network activity.

Balance Upload at golive with WBS or Cost Centers

Hi Gurus,
Appreciate if you can tell me what should be cutover strategy related to initial customer/vendor and GL balances at the time of GO live, specially related to lines related to WBS and Cost Centers?
The current live projects which client is having in the system, how we give those wbs elements in balances templates? How that data will go to cost centers? Will we do project settlement just after uploading data to WBS so that real picture can come in cost centers?
Appreciate if you can please share strategry if we are going live in mid year which is may? and also how to enter p&L items for jan, feb march and april in system, so that client can see their profit and loss?
Thank You
Regards,

Hi,
Please do recording through transaction code SHDB and enter the available WBS element.
Once recording has been done include function module ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE in that so whenever you download file your flat file will have all those fields taken into consideration while recording.
Mr Ajay is right some companies don't take P& L items into consideration as they are not carry forward to the next month, but my advise is that you take into consideration P& L items accountwise as you will need to match legacy Trial Balance and SAP Trial balance i.e. it should be 0 (Debit and Credit). If y ou post entire amount to retained earnings account you will not get individual balance in future GLwise which will result no TB individual G/L wise.

Myrequirement is to create a report for all actual costs for WBS and Orders, that matches with the report s_alr_87013544.
The actual value in s_alr_87013544 doesnot match with the COEP table.
Can you tell me which table can i fetch the data?
Cross-post

just go to the tables and extract to excel or use reports to extract data to spreadsheets

Cost centre and cost element related tables

Hi,
Could any help me in knowing whre the cost centre goup and cost element groups are maintained.
Could you help in proving the link tables between Cost centre, Cost centre Group, Cost element and Cost element group.
Regards,
Krishna

Hi,
Please refer to Table SETLEAF for cost element group and cost center group. This table is based on set class and 0101 is for Cost Center Group and 0102 is for Cost Element Group.
Cost Center Master data table is CSKS and Cost element Master data table is CSKB. To the bse of my knowledge you cannot directly join these two tables with SETLEAF table as key figure fields are not common. In case you are getting any ABAP report developed, you can ask the developer to write a code saying Controlling Area is equal to Organizational Unit as Set Subclass.
Hope this helps.

Can we use two costing variants for standards cost estimate release.

Hi,
We have 2 plants (plant 5100 and plant 5200) under company code 5000.
We have run standard cost estimate(CK11N) for material 98001000027 at plant 5100 using costing variant ZG01 and at plant 5200 using costing variant ZG02. First, we released standard cost estimate (CK24) for this materia at plant 5100 and set (in marking allowance) costing variant ZG01 and costing version 01. Next time when we are trying to release the standard cost estimate for the same material for plant 5200, it is automatically picking ZG01 as costing variant in marking allowance and it is not allowing to change the costing variant to ZG02 saying Company code 5000: Release already carried out, cancellation not possible, Message no. CK797.
Is it possible to use two different costing variants for release of standard cost estimate for a material at two different plants at the same company code? If so how?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Bijay

Hi,
Thanks for your reply again.
What is the benefit of assigning "Single Valuation Variant same to different Plants" ? In costing variant also we can assign maximum only one valuation variant and this valuation variant will default for all the plants, and hence I dont think it is necessary to assign same valuation variant to different plants.
My issue is :
Example: ( Standard Cost Estimate for material 98001000027)
Plant - 1
Material Cost                                             Rs.100
Labour Cost                                               Rs.50
Overheads (10% of Labour Cost)                  Rs.5
(say ,through costing sheet - 1)
Total Standard Cost Estimate                      Rs.155
Plant - 2
Material Cost                                             Rs.150
Labour Cost                                               Rs.100
Overheads (20% of Labour Cost)                  Rs.20
(say, through costing sheet - 2)
Total Standard Cost Estimate                      Rs.270
Now, Please explain why we cannot have two Standard Cost Estimates for a material at two different plants? If it is possible to have two standard cost estimates for a material at two different plants, how to take care of overheads (rate of which varies) at two different plants (plant - 1 > 10% and plant- 2>20%) as we can assign maximum one costing sheet to a valuation variant variant?
How to map the system so as to meet the above requirement?
Thanks,
Bijay

WBS element and Cost Center

Hi Gurus,
As far as I know, when the a/c assignment category is P in a PO, the costs are assessed on the cost object WBS element and when the a/c assignment category is K in a PO, the costs are assessed on the cost object cost center. But, as I drill down a WBS element, I find Requesting and responsible cost center.
So, can I say that a WBS element is actually a child of the responsible cost center ?
And all the costs assessed on a WBS element are eventually assessed on the responsible cost center?
Please help in clearing my concepts.
Thanks,
Kumar

hi,
You assign the account assignment to WBS element based on the OPERATIVE INDICATOR...
By this you specify the attributes of a WBS element and determine which tasks the WBS element can carry out in the project...
Please check the LInk given for futher explainations:
[WBS ELEMENT|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/4c/225e2a46e611d189470000e829fbbd/frameset.htm]

How to fetch the data from the table COEP for WBS element,cost center,,,,,?

Hi,
I would like to retrive the data from the table COEP ,based on KOKRS,BELNR fields.
I need the output for Cost centre, cost element, wbs element,net work ,activity.
These values are storing OBJNR ,OBJNAR_1,OBJNR_2,OBJNR_N3.
But here always these field are not giving the correct values.
for example : for one record COST CENTRE vlaue is storing in OBJNR_1 field,
for one record COST CENTRE vlaue is storing in OBJNR_2 field,
for one record COST CENTRE vlaue is storing in OBJNR_3 field.
Here SAP has used a generic approach for this.
How can I dispaly the values in this case ?
Thanks and Regards
Srinivas.N

Hi,
I am asking, how can we say OBJNR_1 value alwyas belongs to cost center ?
USPOB is not filling always.
