Changing assignment of cost elements to cost components

Hello,
I want to assign a cost component to another cost element. Message no. KQ312 Maintenance after deactivating 10 makes cost estimates incomparable appears.
After the change, isn't it possible to compare the cost estimate anymore at all or just the changed cost components?
Regards, Jan

If you change the cost element grouping in your cost component - the standars SAP gives the message that previous cost estimate cost component will not be comparable.. It has got logic because once you do the Actvity price calculation system stores the value as per cost component strcuture in KEPH table . The 40 cost feils in KEPH get dynamically linked as per your cost component.
So if you want to change it , you can change it but makesure you run the KSPI again . If you are moving your existing cost element to another group , the previous saves cost component will not display correctly , although all the future cost estimate will show you as per revised strcuture.
If you not bother about previous cost compoent display then you can change it.

Cost Elements and Cost Centers in a service order

Hello Finance Friends....
I am inquiring about something that has been happening and I can not find the answer as to how. I spoke with the finance consultant and he seems to think it is the valuation class being changed but the valuation class has not been changed at all....so here is my problem as I am at a lost...it is an intermittent problem....
I have a service order for material to be repaired by the customer...lets say coming in for Ansi Calibration with repair.
The technician will issue material to the service order for repair....if the technician does not end up using the material for repair he will reverse the goods issue and then the material goes back to stock...
in my scenerio ....when the material is issued it is under GL account (cost elelment) 5XXXXXXX. When the reversal was done it went to 6XXXXXXXX. So when the DP90 transaction is done (billing request) it gives the error for cost center XXXX cost elelment 6XXXXXXX and can not complete the transaction DP90. The error is the Material combination for DP90....this works in others....these are just one offs that it is happening to and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to why it happens... I have tried reverse the transaction to put the material back to the service order and then manually reverse myself using the original GL account number it was issued on (5XXXXXX)...however when doing the DP90 it still reads the 6XXXXXXX cost element and cost center XXX. Keep in mind that the valuation class or material type has not been changed.
Where is the GL account and Cost center being derived from in the service order? What can I check?
Thanks in advance....

Hi,
Check in T030 table for OBYC assignments and TKA3A table for OKB9 settings.
Also check account assignment tab of PO.

Combination of cost elements and cost centers

Hi guys,
what if I mentioned only cost centers as sender values in a segement of assessment cycle? do you think that is must to have cost element and cost center combination in sender values? how it will be differnt I dont mention any cost elements along with cost center in segements as sendors? please clarify me with the example.

Hi
Cost Centers are the cost collectors and cost elements are the cost carriers.
When you add cost elements and cost centers as senders you define that the cost that are available in the cost centers are carried to other cost objects via the cost elements.
Hope it helps
Good Luck

Add cost element to cost group

I am using KAH2 Transaction to insert cost element to cost group , i need to insert the cost elemnt for a grp through file.
is theres any way which can be to insert cost element to the cost group ,someone who has worked on same..... as rec is not capturing all the fields so i can not create a bdc program .

Hi,
One way would be to record a BDC session adn then use it to upload the values from the flat file into a cost element field in the transaction ' KAH2'.
Or other way would be to find out if some BAPI exists for this upload.

Tables for g/l account, cost element and cost grouping

Hi Experts,
I am finding for a table which has g/l account against cost element.
Finally, I need to find their relevant cost grouping so that I know which g/l account is relevant to the cost group.
Which table can I find for these information?
Please help!

Hi
The Link between GL & Cost element is not required because GL Account No = Cost element No
Cost Ele is stored in CSKA & CSKB Tables.. Cost ele groups are stored in Table SETLEAF

Fixed and variable cost element's cost

hi,
i would like to clarify. need your kind advice.
1) can direct cost has both fixed and variable cost? can have example?
2) can indirect cost has both fixed and variable cost? can have example?
3) direct cost only happens in direct cost center and indirect cost only happens in indirect cost center?
4) can direct cost center assign to fixed cost element and variable cost element? Likewise, indirect cost center assign to fixed cost element and variable cost element?
thanks

Hi,
As per my understanding
Direct cost to a department could be variable or fixed.
Example: A supervisor in the X department would be a direct cost to the Dept A department. Since the X salary is likely to be the same amount each month regardless of the quantity of products manufactured, it is a fixed cost to the department. The supplies furnished to the X department will be a direct cost to the department, but will be a variable cost to the department if the total amount of supplies used in the department increases as the volume or activity in the department increases.
Indirect cost is the Power used to operate a production machine.
Example: The cost of the Power is variable because the total Power used is greater when more products are manufactured on the machine. Depreciation on the production machine is also an indirect product cost, except it is usually a fixed cost. That is, the machineu2019s total depreciation expense is the same each year regardless of volume produced on the machine.
As you can see, costs can be direct and indirect depending on the cost object: product, department. The cost is fixed if the total amount of the cost does not change as volume changes. If the total cost does change in proportion to the change in the activity or volume, it is a variable cost.

Cost of Goods Sold - Cost Element asking Cost Object

Dear All,
We have defined a G/L account :500000 (Cost of Goods Sold - Field Status Group:G030).
Normally we should not create it as a cost element,but when CRM consultant does a transaction ,system asks that GL account :500000 not created as a cost element,Hence that time I have created as a cost element.
Now every time ,system is asking for cost object for this cost element.
As you all know that ,we can maintain in OKB9,but in our scenario,we have more than 3500 Cost Centers,which is not possible.
Can anybody share as how to resolve this issue?
Regards
Subbu

Thanks Mr Ajay for understanding my question.
As I told mentioned in my initial question that I have created the GL:500000 (COGS) when CRM/SD issues the stock for delivery.
What my FI done is that the same GL (500000) is assigned both in GBB-VAX and GBB-VAY as per the client requirement.
Now suggest me as how to come out from this situation?
If I need to do Validation ,request you to give your guidance as how to do it as I never done.
Thnaks in advance.

Cost Element Group & Cost Element

Hi Friends,
Can you please tell me how cost element groups are linked with individual cost elements(Primary and Secondary).
Is there any standard cost element groups are there. Please let me know.
Priya

Hi,
Cost element groups, like any other group for master data, is used for reporting purpose. By creating a group you unite certain objects and make it possible to present it as one entity in the reporting or use it in allocation processes. There is no such a thing as standard group, as the user chooses for himself how he wants uniting the elements.

Eli

GL Accounts : GL Accounts is master data preparation which is assign to chart of accounts.
Costin Sheet : The costing sheet integrates all elements of overhead costing. In costing sheet calculation base, cost element & Overhead rate & credit are define.
