To make profit center as mandatory while creating cost center

Hi,
what is the procedure to make profit center as mandatory while creating cost center.
Thanks and Regards
Boppana

Hi Boppana,
There are two possibilities to have the profit center field as
mandatory in KS01 (cost center creation):
a) You can modify message number KS096 to "Error" via OBA5.
   Thus, the users would no be able to save a cost center without enteri
   a profit center.
   Depending on Your release you can make KS096 modifiable by
   implementing note 486781.
b) You can directly modify the field via SE51 (SE51 -> Element list ->
   Rider Special Attributes) to mandatory entry.
   But in order to do this, You will need an SAP developer and
   object key (available via OSS ).
I would strongly advise method a). It's simpler and you don't
have to modify a SAP object (it would be a modification of the standard)

Configuring ISR Scenario SRK1 (Create Cost Center Request) with Adobe forms

Hello,
I am trying to configure the ISR scenario SRK1 (Create Cost Center Request) with Adobe Interactive Forms.
However when I am trying to generate the form, it is giving an error TR015(Object can only be created in SAP package)
Apparently by default it tries to create form Adobe form ISR_FORM_SRK1.
Even if I change that name to ZISR_FORM_SRK1, it tries to create interface ISR_IF_SRK1 which is in SAP's namespace and I cannot generate the form. I cannot seem to be able to force SAP to use a different Interface name. The field for the interface is greyed out and is not picked up
Am I missing any step or is there any fix to this problem?
regards,
Atul Kulkarni

Hi,
From the config it picks the formscenario(SRK1) and prefixes the same for adobe form.
I think the best option would be to copy the Stnadard form scenario to ZSRK1 and proceed. This copy can be done from the config 'Manage Form Scenarios' under this select the option 'Copy form scenario'. This copies the entire config from SRK1 to ZSRK1.

Create cost center

Dear sir.
Im creating a cost center, on " create cost center: basic screen" - profit center, I choice a profit center I created before, but it says: " Profit center VNMH/100 does not exist" (VNMH is controlling area), and I check again, in fact that cost center 100 is created.
help me deal this problem.
Thanks,
Hangvt

Hi,
you have to make sure that
1. the profit center created is actived and is valid for the whole time range of the cost center
2. the company code of the cost center has to be activated in the profit center master
3. the company code has to be assigned to the same controlling area like the profit center controlling area.

Error while creating Cost center

Hi,
After creating Cost center in KS01 when i try to save it,
it is showing error that "The Persona Responsible say example BORISA01 not Valid".
How to correct it?
Thanks
Swetha

Hi Swetha,
In standard setup, this field is set as required but usually this is not setup with a validation. There is not even an F4 option to search for available users.
However in order to find where this issue is arising please reference the 5 Digit Error code that appears.
Debugging via "/h" in the transaction field may be required to see what validation has been setup if custum code has been entered.
This field is not connected to a database table for lookup it is simply an character field where you can enter any value.
You could also check the 5 digit error code. If this is a custom error you may be able to change it to a warning rather than an error message via the Custum Message Handler. This should then allow you to bypass the validation if one is setup and you should be able to enter any value.
Kind Regards,
Brendan

Change pointers are not generated when creating a material master

Dear Experts,
Change pointers are not generated when creating a material master.
However, when a change is made to the already created material, the change pointers are created according the fields in BD52.
Am I missing any settings?
I need to create change pointers immediately when I create the material master in MM01.
Please suggest.

Shetty

Error when createing cost element

Dear Friends ,
Following error appering when createing cost element , please suggest and explain the process in details ,
Create the G/L account 94100040 first
Message no. KS034
Diagnosis
You chose the function "Create primary cost element". Primary cost elements/revenue elements must have an equivalent in FI, meaning the account must already exist as a G/L account in FI. Account 94100040 was not created in FI, so you cannot create it as a primary cost element.
Procedure
Check whether you need to create cost element 94100040 as a primary cost element and for what purpose it is to be used for.
If the cost element is to be assigned to accounts in FI, create a G/L account in an FI company code.
Manually create G/L account
If it is not to be assigned to FI accounts (additional CO costs), it suffices to create the G/L account as a chart of accounts item.
Create G/L account in chart of accounts
You can create the cost element as a secondary cost element in CO. This does not require an equivalent account in FI.
Regards
Raghu

Hi,
use T.code FS00 and enter G/L account number and co.code and enter required details and in application tollbar click edit cost element and enter required details.1st consult FICO consultant for above and use of G/L account group and other details for creating G/L.You can cretae Cost Element in t.code: KA01 also.

Employee benefit costs are not splitting based on Cost Center/InternalOrder

Good Afternoon!
I'm having an issue with Employee benefit costs that are not splitting based on the cost center/Internal order splits entered on the timesheet. This was discovered while running the cost center report: PC00_MNA_CC_ADM.
For example- this employee has one cost center stored on the Infotype 0001 Organizational Assignment. No other overriding cost distribution set up on IT0027 Cost Distribution. Also, no other setup on OM- HRP1018 Cost Distribution.
Then, on the timesheet, 70 hours of regular time were recorded on the attendance type 2REG and also 10 hours of regular time (also 2 REG) were charged to a different cost center.
Then on the report the Health/Life section are not coming out correctly. On the original cost center from IT0001, the following amounts are shown: ER Dental, Posting Prescription, PPKP Posting, BN Posting Adm Fee, ER cr Flex life, ER cr flex ad&d.
On the other cost center (entered on the timesheet), only ER Dental, ER cr flex life and ER cr flex ad&d are there.
In addition to the the difference in the posting list, the amounts do not calculate out.
If I have 70 hours of regular time to one, and 10 hours of regular time to another, that should calculate out, but my amounts are off.
For example:
Cost Center#1
ER Dental 61.92
Posting prescription 173.62
PPKP Posting 715.50
BN Posting Adm Fee 26.32
ER cr flex life 2.75
ER cr flex ad&d 1.24
Cost Center#2
ER Dental 3.90
ER cr flex life 0.17
ER cr flex ad&d 0.08
If anyone has an idea of where my issue might be I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

The only good solution I have found is using the New General Ledger: Distribution of liabilities according to expenses. I believe this is only available for users of ECC 6.0 and finance has to be using the new GL funtionality. This will allow you to post the benefits and taxes to the cost centers associated with the earnings.

Mandatory field in cost center master

Hi,
In a particular cost center master data(which was created earlier), business area is a mandatory field. It is critical to remove this mandatory option which has defaulted automatically. Entering a business area in the cost center master data is ruled out now. Also, deletion of the cost center is not possible as transaction data already exists.
Please advise how to remove this mandatory indicator in the cost center master data as the system is not allowing to post any actual posting.
Regards,
Sakthy

Hi,
Check if the global parameters for your company has "Indicator: Business area financial statements required" on. This will affect also cost center master creation. Transaction Code: OBY6.
Please discuss with financial members before you change it.
Best regards, Takashi
