Budgetting for Cost Center

Hi
Can you please inform me whether its possible to stop the posting in a cost center after it has exceeded the budget, like we do it for internal orders, if yes then kindly infrom me the way (transaction codes) by which we could do that.
Regards
Ash

One alternative way if you mandatorily require the Cost Center not to be posted is:
1. Create an internal order with same budget amount as the cost center.
2. Create a substitution in order that once this cost center is input the system substitutes internal order you created. This happens without the knowledge of the user.
This is effectively making your cost center not to be posted beyond the budgeted amount since system does not allow to post:
1. if amount exceeds internal order budget amount, and
2. the Cost center can only be posted if internal order has enough room.
This can be your posible alternative if you don't get a better solution than this.

Budgeting for Cost Center

Hi
Can you tell me, What is the procedure to be followed, if I want to block the entries for the cost center if total actual amount exceed the Budgeted Figures
Regards
Ash

Hi Ash,
We had similar requirement from one of the client.
You cant but any control on cost center budgeting. You can just define this and check this at regular intervals. But if you would like to have an alternative then you can go ahead creating Internal orders for some major expenses on which you would like to have control. You can have statistical IO's for this purpose.
But there are certain disadvantges for the above alternative,
First, the client has to go ahead putting both cost center and IO's in the FI entries when passed.
Second, You can't have too much of IO's only for this purpose.
Any ways this is what i can help.

Budgeting at cost center level

Dear All,
Can anyone please tell me how to go about activating availability control for cost centers.I want to do budgeting at cost center level for each cost element.
Pls Its urgent
mail me to : [email protected]
Regards
besri

Hi
In transaction code KP06 you have the facility for to enter the plan data for cost centre and cost element but no availability control i.e. it will allow to do further transaction even if the actual exceeds Plan.
For budgeting you can use KPZ2 which is also for cost centre only (without cost element)budgeting without availability of control.
Both these you can maintain peridically.
Report S_ALR_87013611 - Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance which will give plan vs actual and variance
S_ALR_87013648 - Range: Actual/Budget/Commitments
If the above answer is helpful kindly assign points
Thanks & Regards

Budget For Profit Center

HI,
Besides using the UDT and write our own query to generate the report, is that any alternative to define the Budget for Profit Center in SBO 2005A SP01 without having the Account Segmentation?

Hello Jack,
Here is the scenario how you can work with budget for profit centers:
1) Set G/L account in Chart of Account:
1.1 - Check Distribution Rule box, then select a cost center for this
account.
1.2 - Click account Details Button, check box "Relevant to Budget".
2) Define Budget a Budget Scenario, Distribution method and amount of
this G/L Account in Financials->Budget setup
3) Run Profit Center Report to see the all the transaction of this
account
4) Run the Budget Report (on Profit Center)
Generate this report to analyze the business activities that took place
during a defined period with reference to a selected budget scenario.
You can choose a profit center, to generate a report which reflects the
budget used for the profit center activities.

Only one internal order allowed for Cost center/GL combination -validation

Dear Friends,
We are using internal orders for controlling department wise budgets.
my client wants that he be able to post only through one GL account to one internal order
that is for Marketing dept,(departments are created as cost centers)
Canteen exp              internal order 1000
Entertainment exp     internal order 1001
Gift exp                     Internal order 1002
that is when GL account canteen exp is used (for cost center 1000 (marketing)) then internal order 1000 can be used but if entertainment exp is to be booked internal order 1000 cannot be used. in this case only internal order 1001 should be allowed
We are using real internal order (settlement will happen at end of month)
Can you let me know if this is possible in standard SAP or any workaround.
Regards,

Hi Sangharsh,
If internal order must be filled in these GL then you can meet your requirement by creating the validation. To meet this requirement three steps are to be created in one validation. One step is created below to make you create two more steps by your self.
Create validation under Financial Accounting Line Item using transaction GGB0.
Step 1.
Prerequisites. (Go to settings>Expert mode and fill following)
BSEG-BUKRS = '1000' AND (here instead of 1000 you enter your company code)
BSEG-HKONT = '450000'      (here instead of 450000 you enter GL for canteen expense)
Check
BSEG-AUFNR = '1000'
Message
Click on pencil icon and create below message or the message you want.
Intenal Order 1000 is allowed for canteen expenses.
Assign this validation to your company code using transaction OB28 with call up point 2.
Similarly you can create two more steps. Thus your requirement can be met.

Chintan Joshi.

How to run GR55 reports in background for cost center hierarchies

1. I have been asked by our users to create batch jobs to run in the background for some GR55 reports, that can then be sent directly to cost center managers via email.
I have figured out the process to do this as long as the cost center manager only needs to see a single cost center at a time. However, if they are in charge of multiple cost centers, we also want to send them a summarized report using the hierarchy we have set up. I can't seem to make this work, as the job only seem to recognize the last cost center in the group and the report is for that cost center.
Example. cost centers 100, 200 and 300 belong to hierarchy abc. If I run the job just for cost center 100 it is fine. But if I have a variant to run hierarchy abc, or even if I use the range 100 to 300, all I get is a report for cost center 300.
We cannot use BW because we only have revenue in BW. I am being asked to make this work from standard R/3 within the GR55 realm of reporting.
2. In addition, the report selection criteria includes two separate plan/forecast versions. They need to update these each month prior to running the reports and sending them out. I looked at the variables associated with the versions and tried to set them up with default values that I hoped would update automatically so that they don't have to manually change 50 or so variants each month. But I don't see any dynamic variables that I can use to have the system make that change without going into each variant individually.
3. There is another piece to this equation as well. There is another report they want sent out in batch, but it is several pages wide in SAP and several pages long. So when you run it in batch and either spool it or get it sent as an email, it is very ugly in the formatting due to all the page splits horizontally and vertically. If anyone knows how to get the report to stay together like it would if you had excel integration turned on, it would be very helpful. I have tried running it with that integration turned on, but the jobs are set up with user batch_mgr and not my id, so it isn't working well. The batch_mgr id is just a system id, not a dialog id. We also don't want the jobs set up with a regular user id because if people leave, then the jobs all need to be changed.

Kim,
I may have options for issues 1 and 2. In case of 3, what I can tell you is I understand the concern, but this is what typically happens in some standard CO reports that are not ALV compatible, I don't think there is not much there to do unless you add some custom code for the output.
In regards to point 1, yes, I have noticed that this happens in some standard and custom reporting, not sure what is going on. I came up with a work around that made the trick for my client in a similar scenario; which is editing the cost center groups. For instance, instead of having the group set as a range from 100 to 300, the groups are have listed the cost centers, 100, 200 and 300. Obviously, the disadvantage of this option is that it would require a bit of more cost center group maintenance.
In regards to point 2, I understand from your note that your users already have set up selection variants for the report. One option for you is to get the help from a developer to create a custom period variable and tiny program that runs in batch every month that would update that variable accordingly. Once that's done, you may have to update at least once, the selection variant attributes to change the period to a selection variable, so everytime from that point of time forward that the variable gets updated, it will be ready with the right value for every selection variant that uses it.
Hope this helps.

KO88 - Error when settling for Cost Center AND Auc for the same Internal Or

Hi Experts,
We need to configure Investment Internal Orders that could settle to both Cost Center and Auc, but each assignments with different Source Cost Elements
We did the following:
1. Created Auc Class
2. Created Investment Profile "IMOBIL" and assigned to Auc Class, flagging Auc
3. Created Allocation Structure "CV" with two assignments:
01, Source = Cost elements 7000000000 to 7999999999, receiver AUC "by cost element"
02 Source = Cost elements 4000000000 to 4999999999, receiver CTR "by cost element"
4. Created Model Order, filling the Investment Profile IMOBIL created in step 2.
5 Created Settlement Profile ZCV0001, assigning Allocation Strucutre CV, allowing CTR and AUC for receivers, default receiver is "FXA", doc type "AA".
6 Created ORder Type CV01, assigning Settlement Profile ZCV0001.
When I post only for Asset Expenses (Source Cost element 7, Assigment 01), the settlement through KO88 correctly settles to AUC, and also creates the settlement rule for cost center (i'm using the strategy to create from Responsible Cost Center).
But when I post for Asset Expenses (cost elements 7, receiver AUC) AND General Expenses (Source Cost element 4, receiver CTR), KO88 generates an error KD506, saying that for Assigment 02 - AUC I didnt define a settlement cost element.
1. Assignment 02 is not AUC, is CTR;
2. I flagged "by cost element", so I don't need a settlement cost element. And also, I was able to post to AUC when the source posting was only for cost element 7.
Did you face any problem like this?
I cannot find out what is the missing configuration, or if it is a program error...
Kind Regards
Mayumi Blak

Hi Ajay
I already created Source Structure and assigned to my Setllement profile (so I assigned Allocation Structure AND Source Structure).
I don't understand when you say that I need to assign the Source Sutrcture in each rule....because the Source structure is in the Settlement Parameters valid for both rules...
When I post to Asset Expenses only for the internal Order, the 2 rules (CTR and AUC) are created when I run KO88 (but only AUC rule is settled). This is OK.
The problem is when I post for both General Expenses AND Asset Expenses, the system is not recognizing that I have 2 source structures, neither is findind that for CTR AND AUC the Settlement cost elements are the original cost elements.
I'm thinking about changing message KD506 to warning, do you know if this can help?
Kind Regards

Purchase Order For Cost Center

Hi,
1. Please explain as I am trying to create a PO and i gave Account type: K(Cost center). I got the following error
"Create Account 140000 as a cost element in controlling area 4000 "
How can i solve this problem. I actually created a cost center : 4000. How to assign a cost element to controlling area.
2.Is it Necessary to maintain the G/L A/c while procuring for Cost center??
Or Cost Center is Sufficient ??

HI Kapil,
For any accounting entry you need to define a General Ledger Account where the details (Amount) of the transaction will be stored.
Just by maintaining cost centre will not help in completing any transaction involving accounts. So you need to maintain G/L account in the controlling area of your company code.
You can use T Code FS00 to create new G/L account in the chart of accounts.
In the edit cost element Tab you can give the cost center that you want.
I hope this helps.
thanks

BPS Retraction for Cost Center Accounting - Cost Element - Compounding with

Hello everybody,
I'm using the "BPS Retraction for Cost Center Accounting" described in the blog from Praveen Mayalur. I have customized the BPS system (3.5) as described.
But if i started the retraction i receive a dump. I have debug a little bit and i found out that there is a problem with the InfoObject "Cost Element". It is compounding with two InfoObjects "Source system ID" and "Controlling area".
PERFORM FILL_RSRDEP USING I_AREA
                          I_CHANM
                          ITO_CHADEP
                    CHANGING LT_RSRDEP
                             L_SUBRC.
IF L_SUBRC NE 0.
*Abhängige Merkmale müssen in der ITO_CHADEP stehen
MESSAGE X099(UPC).
ENDIF.
Does anybody have this problem before. ?
Regards Detlev

Hi,
it looks that your 0COSTELEMNT has been changed and the additional compounding object 0SOURSYSTEM has bben added. In BI Content it is only compounded to 0CO_AREA. So may be this is the problem.
To be sure that it works you must make the change in your source system to and "compound" 0COSTCENTER to 0SOURSYSTEM. Or you have to chabge the retraction that way that it ignores the source system and only reads 0CO_AREA and costcenter.

Juergen
