CATS - Defaulting Receiver Cost Centre in CAT2

Greetings !!
We currently use some Activity Types with Zero rate to book non productive time.
These hours therefore need to be booked on a Cost Centre ( receiver) instead of WBS element.
We would like to default the Receiver Cost Center value to be same as Sender Cost Centre ( from Infotype 0001)
Can you please suggest how to achieve this?
Many thank in advance
JG

requirement is :
1. user has to book productive hours against wbs
2. non productive hours against the home cost center
3. user should be able to do that within a single cats entry profile.
solution:
1. educate the users to use the correct activity codes for the right kind of work performed. - really simple.
2. now the idiot proof technical solution: do a user exit to enforce
a. if wbs is selected non-productive activites cannot be entered
b. if non productive activity is selected only home cost center can be the receiver
c and so on and so forth kind of conditions.
d. ensure you do not hardcode stuff, its a bad practice but not unheard of in the abap world.
e. you may want to check the catsnnnn user exits provided by sap, where nnnn = numbers 0001 till 0009 I think.

Hi,
If the profile is to default the Receiver Cost Center, should it be the emploee's home CCtr. (from Infotype 0001) or an alternate CCtr. (Infotype 0315)?
Transfer all data to HR and calculate Personnel costs using payroll. Charge costs to the Sender object. Then, trigger an Activity allocation between the Sender and the Receiver objects.

Resrticting Goods receipt based on cost centre in EBP Version 2.0

Hi,
I am working with EBP2.0 version & I need to know whether I can restrict the GR with ref. to cost centre in EBP. (ie. Receive any order functionality. We have not defaulted any cost centre & the user will enter the cost centre & GL a/c at the time of creation of shopping cart only.
Is it possible to restrict the Goods Receipt with ref. to cost centre in EBP2.0 version. If so then please let me know how to go about it.
Your immediate response is very much appreciated.
Regards
Raghu

Hi S.R.P.
There is no control between GI and GR, you have to make a control using UDF
for example
1.Add UDF in GR called GI Number
2.and make this field mandatory using SP
3.Ask the user to enter GI number
4.If user enter GI number in GR then choose the item code in GR means,using FMS you can also do automatically load a Warehouse,price,Account code what ever in GI.
5.using sql query report u will get control

Cost center on CAT2

Is there a way to default funds/cost center in CAT2 screen? Our requirement is to control the way the cost/funds center appear in the CAT2 screen based on the position the employee holds. If the position is XYZ, then the cost/funds center should either default to the home cost center of the employee and the time admin should have the flexibility to charge a portion of the hours to a different WBS element/Cost/Funds center. Also, the WBS elements should be available as a drop down list in the CAT2 screen.
Your inputs are highly appreciated.

Hi Brad,
Thank you so much for your inputs. I did read about the infotype 315 for defaulting cost center. Since this would require manual creation/mass upload of cost center to each of the employees, it would be easier to have this defaulted directly from the CAT2 screen with a drop down list to chose from. I guess we have to look at user exits to achieve this (?)
Would you be able to give me some help on how to activate the cost center, WBS elements on the CAT2 screen? I have tried to do this in the CAC1 where I saw two check boxes for master cost center and cost center. I didnt see any cost center fields in the cat2 screen after checking these boxes. Another question is, how do I get the WBS elements displayed as a drop down list. Please excuse me if I am repeating the questions that you think you have already answered. I am brand new to this.
What did you mean by planning? Did you mean OM? If it is OM, yes we do use it. How can we have the list displayed in this case? User exit?
Thanks so much.

Cost Centre not popping up in CAT2 transaction

Dear Experts,
I'm new to SAP HR and seems I have missed some entry in maintaining HR master Data (PA30). I have assigned Personnel Number to Enterprise structure and therein I have made an entry for cost centre field as well.
When I go to CAT2 transaction for time recording for this personnel, the cost sentre field does not display the cost centre and is greyed out.
Also I get the error ' Enter sender activity type for cost centre' .
Please help me identify the missing entries.
Regards,
Jyoti

Hi,
Hope the 'cost center not appearing in CAT2' error is resolved by now?
If not, please maintain cost center in IT0315 (Time Sheet Defaults) . You'll see the K in CAT2 time entry screen.

Depreciation defaulted to one Cost Centre (OKB9)

Good day SAP Experts
One of our companies' depreciation depreciation was defaulted to post one cost centre (Admin). This was set on OKB9, specifying company code, cost element (211110) and the cost centre.
This worked, but now we had to change that each individual cost centre must collect its depreciation expense. We tried to take this entry out of OKB9, when executing the depreciation run an error is experienced saying that a CO assignment is needed for this account. Cost centres are maintained on all assets.
We double checked the GL and cost element, as we are having several companies on the same chart of accounts but different controlling area. Their characteristics in all companies are the same.
Can you please help as to what the problem may be? We also tried to enter all possible Profit Centre and their equivalent cost centres in OKB9, but still get the same error.
Regards
Theo

Dear,
Theo
Unless depreciation account is cost element , posting on cost center will not take place. In your case it is correct.
Going next you assign cost center in asset master and system will post depreciation on that cost center
as your said requirement each cost center assigned in asset master will collect respective value.
Your defiition of depreciation posting to cost center must be set in T.code ACSET and the same must be activated as well.
OKB9 is your default cost element account assignment in terms of Cost center, profit center, Business Area.
Hope this helps you to clarify questioned. If you have any doubts feel free to share.

Goods Receipt of BOM material- cost centre required for components

I have created a subcontracting PO with a BOM material.
When trying to post a Goods Receipt the components of the BOM material are required to have a cost centre assigned to them.
The profit centre for the BOM material and components are the same. The BOM material does not require a cost centre to be entered in the Goods Receipt as the Profit Centre is allocated to account assignment tab.
Why does the profit centre assigned to the components not default in the account assignment, why is the system asking for a cost centre?

I receive this error when trying to post the material document:Field Cost Ctr is a required field for G/L account 1000 7023000200
Message no. F5808
Diagnosis
The value for field "Cost Ctr" in the interface to Financial Accounting is an initial value but you are required to make an entry in the field selection for G/L account "7023000200" in company code "1000" linked to the field selection for posting key "81".
System Response
Error
Procedure
It might be an error in the configuration of the G/L account field selection. The initial application, used to call up the interface must otherwise define a value for field "Cost Ctr". If this is the case, contact the consultant responsible for the application used to call up the interface or get in contact with SAP directly.

Send cost centre and attendence type not filled automatically

Hello,
I am configuring the time recording in ESS. I configured the recording profile and in cats2 it looks good. The send cost centre and attendence type get filled automatically. But when I do the same thing in ESS the values are not populated. Is there something I have to take into account in order to get this done?
Thanks a lot, Vanessa

Dear Venessa,
Please note that in contrast to personal templates, which enable you to prefill the data entry area when you start time recording, the system first displays default values when you create a new account assignment row with one receiver object and at least one working time.The system only proposes default values when you create a new account assignment row. In ESS, this is correct, because it does not make sense to provide default values for the sender cost center and activity type if you are only entering an attendance or absence type.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Roy

COST CENTRE

hi every one,
When i create PO with Acc *** Cat system ask for cost centre and by default it takes the G/L account this is for standard 1000 Co.code.
in my case i did all the settings but system dose not show the g/l account and CC.
why is it happening.?

thanks manohar raju ,
But why system is not taking the g/l account from my combination.as you asd the error msg is "400000 g/l account cannot be used" this is because when i maintain g/l account manually.

Receiver Cost Center on CADO report

Hi,
In CAT2 I enter time against Activity Type and WBS Elment. When I run the CADO report, I get the Sender Cost Center as the one maintained in PA30 (IT-1). But I dont understand where does the receiver Cost center gets picked from. Please help!
Regards,
Remya.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply..
No, it is not picking from Resp. Cost centre in Basic tab.
Also, it is not a Statistical WBS element, hence 'CCtr. post' in Control tab is blank.
Is there any other clue?

Upload Overtime hours alongwith diffrent cost centre

Hi,
This is my first question to you guys and I hope that you will not disappoint me. I am working for the UK client, so on monthly basis I received a file which includes the employees pay number, hours, Overtime claimed date and cost centre different with the default cost centre of the employees. So I used to put all the entries manually one by one in IT 0015 or 2010 because I am unable to do the bulk file upload as the Cost centre is diffrent. I know that we can upload the hrs through "zchrnew" but dont know how to upload them with the cost centre.
Could you please let me know if there is any way to upload the Overtime hours in SAP with the Cost Centre.
Thanks
Naveen

Hi Sikinder,
Thanks for the reply. But with the CTRL+F2 we can change the cost centre for only one entry and my concern is regarding Bulk Upload for Overtime. Do you have any idea how we can upload (more than one entry in one go) the cost centre alongwith the overtime hours? What I wanted to upload in SAP is Employee ID, OT Start Date, Wage Type, OT hrs and cost centres. Please let me know if you have any suggestions as how we can upload the same in SAP and under which TCODE.
Thanks
Naveen Chauhan

Add an u0093Allow Timewriteu0094 flag to Cost Centres

Hi,
I have these queries regarding CATS & Costcentres. Any suggestion to these queries will be a great help to me.
I need to Add an Allow Timewrite flag to Cost Centres to indicate when CATS Timewriting entries are allowed to be received by a Cost Centre .
How to add a validation to the new field to ensure that, once the Allow Timewrite flag has been activated for a particular Cost Centre.
How to change the current CATS rule that is in place to prevent timewriting from being entered against any Cost Centres which have a Cost Centre Category (KOSAR).

Hi Rammi,
1.You can use rsecadmin for creating authorization objects.
Use zcc_all and in value authorization use cp *
Now in create a role with desired queries and add
S_RS_AUTH BI Analysis Authorizations in Role
BIAUTH BI Analysis Authorizations: Name of Authorization add zcc_all
attach this role to the User/s
2. For specific values create auth obj with appropriate name and assign specific values. use that obj in a role and attach the role to user.
Whenever there is new Cost Center add that to auth obj instead of adding it to user.
You can search more on the t-code rsecadmin.
I hope this will help you

Difference between master cost centre and sender cost centre

Hi All,
could you please tell the difference between master and sender cost centre.
I want this information very urgent.
Thanks rakesh

Hi!
The master CT is a default Ct in your system.
In this case the logical pair for master is the "child" cost center -> primary and secondary cost centers..
The sender CT is a different thing logically -> this will be credited while posting. The sender is the one who claims money.
To this type the logical pair is the receiver cost center. While posting the receivers cost center will be debited.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Zsolt
