[CO-CCA] Cost Center Substitution in case of a statistical order

Dear All,
We are trying to implement a substitution wherein for a Cost Element, if a statistical order is used it should substitute a Cost Center.
Below are the steps that were used.
Prerequisites
Co Code= 'x' and COBL HKONT= '123456' and COBL-CO_KAAUF = '2'
Substitution
COBL-KOSTL ='ABCD'
However, Cost Center is not getting substituted.
1) What did i miss
2) Can the system derived values (ex:COBL-CO_KAAUF = '2') be used as part of prerequisites.
Thanks & Regards
Surya Varma

Hello Surya,
I think maybe you can add COBL-CO_KAKST = '1' in Prerequisites.
If this does not work, you can try to use user exit.
Please also refer to note 392273. I think there is helpful information in this note.
Best regards,
Ronghua Fan

Cost Center Substitution - KB21N

Hello,
I am trying to use a Cost Center substitution on transaction KB21N to bring in the employees HR Mini Master Cost center when manually charging labor through KB21N. The problem is that the susbstitution populates both Sending and Receiving Cost Centers on the line item.
This means that I cannot charge labor to orders or project/WBS because I get a multiple Cost Object Error. Has anyone used a Cost center substitution in KB15N or KB21N that can share the experience.? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin

Yes, I can substitute both Activity Type and Cost Center in the Senders. The substitution changes both sending cost center and receiving cost center to the value specified in the sub. The same is the case for Activity type.
Sub Rule in this case is below.
CO Area = '8600' AND
Personnel No. <> '' AND
Transaction code = 'KB21N' AND
Order >= '1000000' AND
Order <= '1999999'
Constant sub for Activity Type of "Other"
Thanks,
Justin

Cost center substitution not working

Hello,
I have made a CO cost center substitution in OKC9, callup point 1, prerequisites: sales office=1010, sales group=n01, substitution COBL-KOSTL with "na001".
The sustitution is active , I have run program RGUGBR00 but still not working. When I try to make a delivery I get the message that the account needs CO allocation.
I have also try using FI substitution for BSEG-KOSTL, but I can't get the same prerequisites (sales office and sales group).
Please, suggest a soution.

Hi
ABAP code needs to be written in the exit... With in the code you need to read the fields coming in from SD... Ask your abaper if it is possible to use some field symbols and read the data from memory directly
I dont know the technicalities much, but it should be possible to read the fields

Cost center "Substitution" ?

Dear Experts,
We have "Profit Center Substituion" in SD. I would like to ask that
Do we have "substitution" in Cost Center side? and how to set it.
Because I would like to use it when we post goods issue. Now I use "OKB9"; but it still have limit.
Please share idea.
Many thanks,
Prach

Dear Prach,
In logistics transaction Profit centre is derived from the material master and cost centre is derived from profit centre
please check with your CO consultant and change accordingly

Hi,
The transaction me21n uses the authorization object A_S_KOSTL for cost
center. However, the authorization object A_S_KOSTL is not related to
the cost center that is displayed in the account assignment view of th
purchase order item, but its scope is to limit the access to fixed
assets belonging to the specified cost center (see the note 856248).
There is no standard authorization object that you can use from
transaction me21n to validate the cost center that you see in the
account assignment view at item level. The same can be said about the
purchase requisition creation (me51n).
So, I have three options for you to consider.
First Option:
There is an existing possibility to perform user defined checks during
all kinds of postings which finally lead costs in CO. With transaction
OKC7 you may define a validation which is also processed during
purchasing. You can explore the possibility of achieving the
functionality you need by making customizing changes using transaction
OKC7.
Second Option:
You could use userexit enhancement MEREQ001. For further information
please see note 310154.
Third Option:
Also, you may consider instead of an authorization check for cost
centers you can activate an authorization check for G/L accounts.
Therefore the following settings are required:
I. Customizing -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase
    Order -> Set Up Authorization Check for G/L Accounts:
    activate the G/L account authorization check for the required
    company code
II. Transaction FS02 -> View: Control data: enter the authorization
    group

How to limit material goods issue to 1 cost center

Hello SAP Friends,
We have some materials that should always be issued to the same cost center. Sometimes our warehouse people forget and enter the wrong cost center in transaction MB1A. How can we restrict cost center in this case?
Thanks!
Den

Hi Dennis,
You can code your own validation in the following userexit :
-EXIT_SAPLMBMB_001 ( but you will need to trigger an E message / A message ) as this is in the MB_POST_DOCUMENT ( pro is that its on the logistics side but contra is that its already in the update task not so nice )
-There seems to be a BADI ( see SE18 / MB_DOCUMENT_BADI ) available that does what you need : MB_DOCUMENT_BEFORE_UPDATE
-Another option more standard SAP is to add FI / CO validation for this ( via validations/substitutions ). I'm not an expert there however but we do similar things in there. Do you have an FI/CO expert available ?
In all cases you should check that for those special materials the right cost center is used

Structure of Profit & Cost center

Hi All,
I am at the phase of defining the Organization structure of Company.
And I am facing the problem in defining the Cost center and profit center for that. Hope any one can help me in that.
Scenario is like
1. I have 5 Raw Material.
2.By processing all that I get 15 type of Finish product.
3.Four product are produce from same work center just by changing the drums(which change the nature of product) of machine. Rest of the finish products are produce in different machine(Work Center)
4. Client are selling all that finish product .
5.In many cases there client want 7finish product to be clubbed together and sell it to him. In that case we have to do some activity on that and make according to their requirement.
6.This is and ongoing permutation and combination and any 2 or 3 or 4 (which Is in point number2 )become 1 finish product , this combination create total of 40 final product.
7.And in some case they are also selling raw material also (of point number 1 ).
So in that case we have to create all that material as Finish Product and semi finish product and have to create sales view of each and every material.
And they have 7 plant across the country and do same activity.
Client requirement is that they want to identify the cost of each product .
Till now I have thought of defining the plant as segment.
Now how should I proceed with cost center and profit center for all that product.
Please help me in solving this.
Regards,
Shayam

Thanks for reply
Please correct me if I am wrong.
I am planning to created profit center for each material. As client want to determine cost and profit of each material.
But what I do in case of work center where we can only assign only one cost center. And we can have one profit center in cost center master data. And in my case from one work center we produce different finish product and I am treating each material as profit center. So if any coast incurred in that work center it will go in one cost center and accordingly to one profit centeru2026 so in that case what about other finish product produce from that work center as cost will flow to profit center which assigned to that cost center.
And what about raw material which I use in production of other good and also sell , so what profit cent will I put in that material master, will it me same of raw material or of finish the material produce from that material.
Please tell me the best way to structure the profit center and cost center in this case.
For understanding my senerio you can think of any automobile industry where each parts are manufacture and are sold separately and in combined with others. So in that case how will I assign cost center and profit center . in simple word who I structure my cost and profit center.
thanks

Change to cost center in time dependent data. Can I rerun depreciation YTD?

I need to change the cost center in October (Period 10) Period 9 and prior are already closed. I thought that since I put the Interval for the new cost center as 1/1/11 that it might do and adjustment in October reversing the depreciation posted for the old cost center and put the YTD depreciation in the new cost center, but it did not. it only posted the current month depreciation to the new cost center. Is there any way to do this? Thank you very much.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I went into the ABAA screen, but I am afraid to process this transaction because I do not understand what is going to happen. I cannot find any documentation that explains this. I have already changed the cost center on the asset and run depreciation. It posted the current month depreciation to the new cost center, but it did not make a correction to the prior periods. I am not creating a new asset, i just want to reclass the prior months depreciation (in the current year) to the new cost center. In case it will help I provide some details:
Asset acquired 5/1/11 Depreciation posted to Cost Center A From May - Sept $1,796.06 per month x 5 = $8,980.30
Before posting Oct depreciation, I went to Master Data - Time Dependent - and changed the cost center as of 1/1/11. So I now have two intervals: From 1/1/1900-Cost Center A, and From 1/1/11 - Cost Center B. I then ran the regular depreciation for Oct. It posted Oct Depreciation of $1,796.06 to the new Cost Center-Cost Center B. My total YTD depreciation is now $10,776.36, but it is split between two cost centers. I need to move the depreciation from Cost Center A to Cost Center B for the prior months. If it was a Journal Entry, I would do it as follows in the month of October, so my YTD numbers would be correct.
Debit Depreciation Cost Center B $8,980.30
Credit Depreciation Cost Center A $8,980.30
Then when I run my October numbers it would show zero depreciation in Cost Center A Year To Date (and negative 8,980.30 in month of October)
If i follow the steps you propose, what would be the result? Thanks so much!

Revenue Posting to Cost Center & Pforfitibility Segment (Object Numbers)

Dear All,
I have tested a scnario, i.e., Can we post Revenue to the Cost Center?
1st Case:- I tried to post Revenue to Cost Center & it was done. The Cost Center was updated Stastical Posting. ( Here i had entered Cost Center Manually, no other object was entered except Cost Cneter)
2nd Case :- I have done the same way but i have entered PSG manually.
But here my doubt is : in COEP Table both documents were updated Object Number AOXXXXXXXXXX10610. Which is Recon Object Type. In 2nd case i have entered PSG but in 1st case i have entered only one Cost Center but how the system was updated the CO Object Number AOXXXXXXXXXX10610
Regards

Hi,
As per note 41103 under point 6, revenues posted to cost centers will only be statistical. The category types 11 and 12 are revenue based cost elements.
As cost centers can carry revenues statistically only, the system has to create a reconciliation object automatically. It is just a generated object (containing charactersistics like company code, plant, business area, profit center,...) and this object is necessary to create as the real posting must be made. Otherwise, CO and FI would get out of sync.
If only costing based COPA is active reconciliation object ("REO") is posted to if there is no real account assignment for the revenues (no CO-PA object/no revenue order or any other object which can carry revenues->please see note 106968).
Thanks & Regards

Change of Cost center in Asset Master

Dear All,
In my organisation. the Asset Master was assigned to Cost center1. All acquisation and depreciation costs were collected in it. During the year the CC1 was changed to CC2. Now when we try to draw BW reports for these Assets, the Acquisition & depreciation costs do not match with the R/3 values. This is bcoz, the CC1 was overwritten with CC2.
Now, 1) how can I transfer all the costs from CC1 to CC2 so that my BW report shows the correct values.
2) Is there in some way the old cost centers can be maintained so that the BW report picks up correct values for these assets.
Thanx
Rosalyn

Hi!
I am unable to do a manual reposting of Cost Center values from one cost center to another because there is no direct postings to any of the cost center. Cost Center in my case has been maintained only in the Asset Master.
Acquisition costs are booked through F-90,with cost collector as Internal order which are defined as statistical.
Is there some other way in which I can transfer the balances to cost center 2 like a finance posting? or is it possible for the BW to pick up data directly from some table?
Pls Help.
Thanx
Rosalyn

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.

Cost center field disable for few end users

Hi all,
Can anyone help me in setting the field Cost center in display mode so that the change of cost center can be restricted in Equipment master record. This should be affected only to a few users while others can have the access to change mode. How do i achieve this....
Thanks,
Murad...

Hi,
As this is User based setting, this could be achieved only through User Authorisation.
Even Authorisation group is also editable in Equipment Master, I am not sure how much it will be feasible to achieve your requirement.
Else give Change mode access (IE02) to particular people who are authorised to change any details like Cost Center.
In case of other people, have a word document (like Change Request), so that changes could be tracked.

Cost center field is mandatory for PO

hi all,,
how can I make cost center field as a mandatory field while creating PR or PO???
THANKS YOU,

Hi,
Normally all the material postings will be done to the balance sheet accounts any subsequent material consumption will be charged to the cost center.
In case any direct consumption or non-stock PO , PO should have account assignment category 'K' then system will expect (mandatory) cost center on it.
My question to you , why you need cost center is mandatory? as the standard sap design is having cost center mandatory in case of non-stock (services) or direct consumption.
