Change cost element type 4 to 1

Hello,
I want to change a cost element type "4" to "1". But SAP does not allow it because the plan data on the cost element.
How can I change the type? Please any help.
Thanks

HI,
I'm afraid if dependent data (actual and/or planning data) exist for cost element for the fiscal year, then there is no way to change the category type until the next fiscal year. This is to prevent inconsistency in the data for a given fiscal year. When posting the first transaction data (plan or actual posting), a year dependent entry is created in a control table for the cost element. You can only change the category if NO transaction data exist for the relevant year or if all the transaction data for this cost element/year
is deleted.
An option is to create a new analysis period (KA02 -> Basic Screen -> Edit -> Analysis Period) and specify the new cost element category. The new analysis period can only be specified in yearly intervals.
For further information on this please review the attached note:
37093 Master data: change/delete validity period

o   OBJECT_INDEX - Index uniquely identifying the row and thus the

    is ignored.
o   COSTCENTER    - Cost center that includes the activity.
o   ACTTYPE       - Activity type that includes the activity. You must
    fill this together with COSTCENTER. You only need it for an activity

Cost element type 90

I need information about primary cost elements with cost element type 90.
Has someone hands-on experience?
I try to use this type of cost element linked to a reconciliation (customer) accont.

Hello
Cost Element Category 90
Cost element for balance sheet accounts in Financial Accounting
Cost elements of this category are generated automatically when you create cost elements in Controlling that have asset reconciliation accounts, that is, special balance sheet accounts, as corresponding general ledger accounts in Financial Accounting.
You cannot change this cost element category in CO master data maintenance.
FI does not require CO account assignments of category 90. However, if you do enter a CO account assignment, this is only updated statistically even for true CO objects.
Cost elements of category 90 enable you to control the costs of an order or project budget during the acquisition of fixed assets that can be directly capitalized. To achieve this you enter a capital investment order or work breakdown structure (WBS) element in the appropriate field in the asset master data. The Asset Management (AM) component ensures that when the asset is acquired, the order or WBS element is automatically entered in the document.
In Controlling, orders and WBS elements are debited statistically. This statistical debit is checked with the budget during availability control.
The system does not support other uses of category 90 cost elements at present. You cannot plan using these cost elements.

Cost Center Assessment - cost element type 42

Hi dear All,
I got issues running KSU5 to allocate planned costs under cost element type 42. we were expecting that all planned costs (primary and secondary(cost element type 42)) could be allocated by credit cost center (actual). only primary costs are being allocated.
Scenario:
cost center planning (kp06) 1000 currencies in primary cost element in cost center A
running planning assessment - KSUB: cycle uses assessment cost element (type 42): sender cost center A, receiver cost center B (all planned values). assessment cyles posts 1000 currencies from CC A to cost center B
planning in cost center B (primary cost elements through kp06, 500 currencies) total planning 1000 from previous assessment with CE type 42, and 500 from cc planning in a primari CE.
by the period end closing, tcode KSU5 (allocation actual) is running. new cycle created, based on planned values (origini not actual, but planned amounts).
we were expecting to allocate 1500 currencies from cost center B to cost center C (using 100% and through assessment cost element)).
result: credit actual cost center B = 500 currencies debit actual cost center C = 500 currencies.
1000 currencies pending on cost center B (planned).
do you know why SAP is not allocating the 1000? even if those 1000 were planned in cost center B by assessement, a new allocation cycle should be able to post them or not?
thank you for your outcome.

Hi dear Ajay, thank you for your answer.
first, I understand the difference between KSUB and KSU5, in the defined scenario, we have both. planned values, become actual with the MEC activities. business definition.
regarding the cycle, I have setup assessment cost element so we can get all planned lines posted as 1.
On sender tab I have only the cost center. no cost element defined.
receiver its cost center.
furthermore, i've not setup allocation structure, so all cost elements should be allow, there is no restriction on this.
the only difference is: planned costs which their origin is already an assessment are not being assessed again.
I can show you the print screens with cycles setup if it helps
best regards

Cost element type 12 "Sales Deduction"

Hi guru
I would understand the effective impacts in CO-PA when I use Cost Element Type 12 "Sales Deduction".
Can you help me?
Thanks

Change cost element category from 1 to 11

Dear all,
We created by mistake revenues accounts with cost element category 1 instead of 11.
We created a sales document (contract) with account assignment to a WBSE. The revenues were appearing as negative planned cost so we realized the mistake.
Now we have deleted the item in the sales document, we have created a new revenue account with the correct cost element category 11 and we have added to the account determination (VKOA).
Now the revenue appears in the new cost element. Nonetheless we still see the revenue value as a negative planned cost.
If we create a new project and a new sales document everything is correct. But we want to mend the first one. Any idea of how?
Best regards

Fantastic !
Thank you very much

In KP26 activity types allocation cost element displaying old cost element

Hi,
I changed cost element in activity types. But in KP26, activity types picking old cost element only.
Ex: I changed 9430000002 for Labour activity with old one 9430000001 but in KP26, while planning for Labour activity it is picking 9430000001. so its becoming problem while running CK11N.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Neeraja

Dear Neeraja,
While changing the secondary cost element for activity type, hop you got the following warning message.
So you must check whether the existing data is there or not for that activity type.
One more important thing.
The cost element field is a time based filed.
You can change this field for each fiscal year. For example, you can change the field content for a new fiscal year.

Cost element 41 is not getting displayed in basic data Cost Element Basic..

Hello All,
Need you help in understanding and solving this issue, when ever I am creating a GL account in P&L, primary cost element is getting created, that is perfect, but for some G/L account I want to assign to CElem category to 41 for overhead, but due to some reason, only see 6 cost element category when try to look into mirror glass, or F4, only can see (1, 3, 4, 11, 12, 22). Please suggest how can I fixed this. If some one is having hard time understanding my question please feel free to write me.
Thanks
Nishan

Christian,
I belive you have not understood this issue, here I am not asking the difference between primary and secondary, let me articulate it one more time:
When you create a G/L account under expenses for P&L and it create Primary cost element and instead of allocating it to primary costs/ cost-reducing revenue want to make it to 41 overhead cost element. but I dont see the option of 41 just see 6 option ( 1 for primary costs/ cost-revenue reducing revenues. 3 - Accrual, 4 , 11= revenue, 12 = sales deduction and 22 external settlement, and where as I dont see 41, what setting need to be changed so that I can see all the cost element type.
thanks

Need to treast a cost element 90 as a cost element 1

Hi experts. I'm having some problems with CO.
The issue is that I need to generate a Cost element for a balance account and that cost element needs to be allocated as the rest using KSV5.
When I create a cost element for a balance account the system assigns the type 90 and I can not change that.
Please let me know if you know any alternatives.
Thanks!!!

I'm trying to distribute the costs that were post to the Cost element type 90.
At the moment when I run the KSV5 the system is not doing any allocations of the values that were post to a cost element type 90....
Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks a lot!!!!

Cost element missing form screen KP06

Hello everyone,
I am doing ABC costing and while making a posting on screen Change cost element/ Activity input planning which is KP06 transaction code i cannot find boxes for cost element where i can take multiple cost element and more over when i m entering in item overview screen with cost centre & activity types i can see one of my cost element. But i cannot include cost elements at KP06 screen.
Can anyone help me out Please.
Thanks,
Mohammed samiuddin.

Mohammed,
Check the layout you are using while entering the data in that transaction. Typically you can see the layout that you are in at the top of the screen. Usually SAP defaults to layout 1-101 which have the option to enter cost centers, activities and cost elements. Use the icon left and right arrow (Previous layout and Next Layout) located under the title of the transaction KP06 to change it. If you still can't find any that fulfills you requirement, I am afraid you may have to create a new one in the customizing (CO Manual Planning)
Hope this helps.

Mistake in creating cost elements

Dear Guru's,
By mistake, Sale revenue GL accounts have been created as cost elements under "01" category instead of 11 category.
Due to this mistake, Sales values are not flowing to COPA,
Please help me in this regard, how to correct it.
Regards
Anuj

Hello,
If you have dependent data (actual and/or planning data) on the cost
element for the fiscal year there is no way to change the category type
until the next fiscal year. This is to prevent inconsistency in the data
for a given fiscal year.
What I can advise is to change the validity period of the cost element
as of the next fiscal year in KA02 to change the master data in
relation to the cost element type. This should be no problem.
In case you need to execute this change for periods where you already ha
postings on the cost element, all the previous postings to this cost ele
within the fiscal year need to be reversed or deleted. In most cases thi
not easily possible - so it mainly depends on how many postings you have
made to this cost element. In case you can remove the previous CO-docume
use note 175522 by deleting the postings with report ZKACOR21.
Delete all the actual postings for the particular cost element\fiscal
year combination so that there are no dependant entries in the CO tables
There are entries in the following tables COEP, COSP, COSS and
COKA.
Notes 37093, & 38955 that explain how to delete cost elements
where there is dependent data.
"the cost element can only be deleted, if you delete first the entries
of following tables: COEP (CO object: period-related line items),
and with the information document number and line item of COEP you can
delete the entries in table COBK (CO Object: Document header). The name
of the summarized table is COSP (CO Object: Cost Totals - External Post
ings). The last table is the most important one it is the control table.
The Transaction KA04 will select this table before deleting a cost elem
ent. Its name is COKA. If you delete all entries it should be possible
to delete your cost element."
Even if the COEP table line items are 'zeroed out, they are still
considered as line items. Please review your COEP table. If there
is a posting to the cost element, you can reverse the posting so that
that the cost element has a zero balance, ('zeroed out'). Then please
review attached note 175522 and try running report RKACOR21 described
in the note. Please try this in your test system first.
Please try this way to delete table COKA/COSP entries:
-run report:RKACOR20(refer to note 45122) to delete the CO documents
for the GL doc and its reversal document
-run report:RKPLNC27 (refer to note 549760) to delete zero records in
table COSP (with parameters:object number,fiscal year,version)
-Then run report:RKPLNC25 to delete dependency record in table COKA.

RA method 15 ignoring certain Cost of Sales Cost Elements for its calculat

Hi,
We are using RA method 15 to calculate revenue accruals for costs posted to a WBS element, but not yet billed.
We normally have cost of sales being posted to a GL / Primary Cost Element (type 1) 601000, with quantities, which is then picked up by RA correctly and which adjust the revenue accruals accordingly.
We are using a further GL / primary cost element (type 1) to post manual adjustments to (602000). This also has quantities posted to it. This is included in the configuration in OKG5, with the same settings as the cost element 601000.
For some reason, this account is not being included in the RA calculation.
does anyone have any ideas why this might be the case?
Many thanks in anticipation
Jill

Is CE 602000 included in the DIP Profile for RRB?
Methods 14 and 15 work in concert with the DIP Profile. Check is the CE is included in the Source Selection.
