    Thanks

    Hi Eli,
    Really, i appreciated for your help.
    But, still my question is not to be answered. I am giving entire picture what i have done earlier.
    1. I have copied 2 co codes(CACA & CACB) from 1000 co code
    2. I have created new chart of a/c (CACA) and assigned to co codes
    3. I have co area as INT and assigned to co codes
    4. I have copied gl codes to 2 co codes from 1000
    5. I have created 5 cost centers newly in 1 co code area
    Here my question is:
    - We need to extend same cost centers to another co code
    - When i am changing cost element, system gives error like no CE in co area..why? and how to resolve?
    Thanks

  • BPS Variable-Cost Element is not displaying Text

    Dear Team,
    We have a peculiar issue one of the BPS Variable defined for Cost Element is not displaying text in one of the Planning Layouts.
    Another variable is displaying text in another layout.
    Surprisingly...when I reused the old variable in the new layout it is also not displaying the text.
    Am I missing something....appreciated your quick support.
    Thanks & Best Regards

    Have you check the layout Lead-Column setting? Is it set to 'Key/Description'?

  • Activity Type: cost element does not exist

    Dear All,
    I am working on ERP  configuration for PP module as an academic exercise. I am already through with FI, CO and MM modules.
    I am not able to get through the Activity assignment step in PP module. (Accounting u21D2 Controlling u21D2 Cost Center Accounting u21D2 Master Data u21D2 Activity Type u21D2 Individual Processing u21D2 Create). While creating activity type labor (labor hours), I am getting error "cost element does not exist for aggregated period"
    In CO module I have created primary cost element for "Labor"(Category: primary cost/ cost reducing revenues). Also created secondary cost element for labor (cost element category: Internal activity allocation).
    Can anybody guide me on how to go further?
    regards,
    Supriya

    Dear
    Please revivew the following steps when you are creating a New Acvity type :
    OP51 - Check Settings for formulas
    OP54 - Check formulas for Costing
    Ensure that usage of the parameters are indicated.  Some parameters are appropriate for capacity calculation but not for schedule calculation.  If you like to find out the parameter id, you could use the Search Fld. for Param. pull down button to do so.
    KLH2 - Maintain hierarchy of Activity type group.
    OP19 - Define standard value key
    The purpose of standard value keys is to group together a set of parameters for the purpose of ensuring that the standard values for the parameters are supplied in the operations of the routing.  This is so that the formula (for calculating cost, schedule, and capacity) could have the necessary figures to work with.  Once the parameters are associated with the standard value keys, work centers quoting this standard values will be able to dictate whether or not the parameter values are optional or mandatory entry in the operations of the routing.  The pre-requisite for using this transaction is that the parameters must have been pre-created.
    KA01 - Create Primary Cost Element for the new activities type. Maintain Correct From and To date inline with Activity Type KL01  - Create Activity Type tied to the primary cost element. (the Cost element field)
    KP26  - Change Activity Type/Activity Price Planning - maintain the Variable price
    If the user include the additional activities in their work center, the routing that used the work center will required more time to finished the jobs.
    The operations Start and Finish date will be extended due to the extra time spent on the work center.  The cost of production increases in line with the extra activity which will be reflected in the Factory Output when you do a cost analysis in the production order.   The new activity will have a price attached to it and the moving average price will increase.

  • Webi report on OLAP Bex query -  Cost element Hierarchy not working Drill down

    Hello,
    We have a BO report on Bex query, Not on universe, we have a Hierarchy for Cost Element Group, and we are expecting the Drill down functionality for that in BO report, but it does not.
    Webi report on OLAP Bex query -  Cost element Hierarchy not working Drill down
    Any pointers how to do it please
    Thanks
    Krishna

    Hi,
    WebI reports on BEx source don't use same Drill feature as other sources, it's replaced by expland/collapse of hierarchy nodes (documented in WebI user guide in § "24.1 Drill defined"). This means you have to create query which selects all hierarchy sub-tree you plan on exploring later in report, otherwise if no data is available under a node there will be no '+/-' sign to visit this part of tree.
    You could try first to select "All members" from hierarchy in QueryPanel and see if behavior in report suits your needs. Then you should restrict hierarchy member selection to what's really needed to avoid performance issues.

  • COGS created as Cost Element

    Hi,
    If COGS is created as cost element in CO-PA but in OKB9 no cost center is assigned & CE Category used is 1...does this means there will be double posting in CO-PA ???
    Regards,
    Varsha

    When the Profitability Segment has not been assigned, the Cost center would be the default assignement.
    So, when it is not Profit related, obviously Cost related. So there won't be any duplicate posting happnes.
    Moreover, this is only for Automatic Account postings like, discounts, qty differences and price differences.
    Thanks

  • COGS accounts as cost elements

    Hi All,
       Please help me with this.
    1.We have set up COGS accounts. Should we set them as Cost Elements? If yes , then should we use cost element category "1- Primary Costs" or "12 Sales Deduction" ?  Right now we dont have COPA , we are planning to implement in future . One more thing, if we don't set up them as Cost elements now and would like to set up as cost elements in future (After COPA goes live) - can we do that?
    2. Regarding Revenue accounts , we don't have SD or COPA now (but will implement in future)- Should we set up revenue accounts as "11 - Revenues"  in FS00. Please help me ,
    Thank you,
    Sri

    Hi,
    1. If your client specifies that he needs the data to be transfered to Controlling, then COGS has to be created as a cost element with category-1.
    If your client does not want any data related to COGS in Controlling then no need to create it as a cost element.
    If you are implementing COPA in your organisation in future, without creating COGS as cost element also we can get the data in COPA reports, basing on condition type.
    Data flow from SD to COPA is through Condition types in Costing based Profitability analysis.
    In KE4I we assign condition types to COPA value fields, Basing on that profitability document will get created.
    To bring the COGS amount to COPA,
    Assign VPRS condition type to relevant value field.
    If your problem will get solved with this answer, kindly award me marks

  • Depreciation GL is Cost element or Not?

    HI,
    In Asset accounting,will we create Depreciation GL account as Cost element or normal?If we create as cost element what are the additional configuration needed.
    Kindly clarify me
    Thanks
    Sunitha

    Hi,
    you only need a cost element if you want to post the depreciation also to the Controlling application CO. Then you need it to include cost centers or internal orders into the depreciation documents. If you don´t need depreciation in CO, you do not need to create these cost elements.

  • Cost Element column not appearing in IW31/ IW32 transaction

    Hi,
    In transaction IW32, in Operations Tab --> click on External Button (below shown on IW32 screen).
    Now under External, click on Services tab (1st option), here Cost Estimate column not appearing.
    We tried to add through configuration option on this window. (there shows table setting --> click on administrator, now you can see Edit system settings, here Cost Element - ESLL-KSTAR shown with TICK on Invisible checkbox).
    How can i Untick that. I tried but after activate, it again appears.
    Plz guide..

    Hi,
    Where a cost element exists on the operation External TAB, input of the same data on the service line is not allowed. In that case the system decides that this data field should not be available on the service lines. Where the is no cost element on operation then entry is allowed on service line.
    This program logic is overwriting the field configuration on the table setting for service entry grid. This is why the invisable flag cannot be changed.

  • Cost element  is not assigned to a cost component

    Dear All,
    On trying to run costing for finished good having one BOM component, system create error in costing log as-
    Message no-239-Cost element 954001 is not assigned to a cost component     1
    On seeing details:
    Cost element 954001 is not assigned to a cost component
    Message no. CK239
    Diagnosis
    The system attempted to generate the cost component split for the material, but discovered that no assignment has been made in cost component structure Z2 for cost element 954001 and possibly for origin group .
    System Response
    The cost component split is incomplete. The cost of goods manufactured in the cost component split is therefore less than in the itemization.
    ProcedureGo into Customizing for Product Cost Controlling and carry out the assignment for cost component structure Z2 and chart of accounts AICA.
    where i am missing the required setting.
    please guide
    regards

    Hi,
    Use T.Code OKTZ for the relative cost element has to be assigned to one of the components there in
    the cost component structure. Choose the nature of assignment for eg. raw material, choose the source and give the cost element.  Then choose Assignment and give settlement through Cost center, Order.While coming back activate the cost component structure and save.  Try for the Costing.

  • Cost Element Creation against COGM & COGS

    Dear Experts,
    Some person suggest that while creating COGS GL Codes in FS00 cost element should not be assigned.
    According to him if this is done then COGS will flow to COPA and thus COPA profitability report will be wrong.
    Can you please tell whether this correct, how ever in our system COGS a/c also maintained with cost element in FS00.
    Regards,
    Alok

    Postings to COPA can controlled through using proper Field Status Groups (FSG).  IF you supppress postings to COPA in FSG's then I dont think you can make any postings to COPA.  Hence the suggestion given by you may not be true.........

  • Material COGS as cost element - Is it advisable?

    Gurus,
    I have set up my COGS accounts also as cost elements of type '11' to enable direct postings to COPA during billing document save (FYI, We post to COGS during billing and not during PGI.) I would like to know what is the downside in creating COGS accounts as cost elements in CO? I would appreciate a little explanation because my knowledge of SAP CO is pretty limited.
    Thank you all.

    Hi
    Is COGS with Cost element category 11??. It should be "1" and not 11 as 11 is a revenue cost element category.
