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
Hari

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.

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

Cost center and cost element in different collumns

Dear all,
I developed a report painter where the lead collumn has cost element and cost center. When I run the report it shows at the same collumn the cost centers and in a different line the cost element totalizing the amount of each cost center. So the report shows for each cost element the cost centers posted with this cost element. The report show like below:
|-------
Cost center A | 100
Coste center B | 200
|-------
Cost element xxx - 300
The problem is: How can I make the Cost element in a separate column ? Ex:
Cost element xxx | Cost center A | 100
Cost element xxx | Cost center B | 200
Cost element xxx - 300 (In fact I don''t need the total)
I need cost element and cost centers in different collumns to allow export it for other application..
Regards

Hi
In report painter report we have only one lead column so we cannot have cost centers and cost elements in two different columns.Instead we can use the functionality of variation.Give the cost center in general data selection screen and select the variation functionality.So that cost centers are displayed on the left side of the report as hirearchy and only cost elements are only displayed in lead column.
Thanks

Cost centre and cost element related tables

Hi,
Could any help me in knowing whre the cost centre goup and cost element groups are maintained.
Could you help in proving the link tables between Cost centre, Cost centre Group, Cost element and Cost element group.
Regards,
Krishna

Hi,
Please refer to Table SETLEAF for cost element group and cost center group. This table is based on set class and 0101 is for Cost Center Group and 0102 is for Cost Element Group.
Cost Center Master data table is CSKS and Cost element Master data table is CSKB. To the bse of my knowledge you cannot directly join these two tables with SETLEAF table as key figure fields are not common. In case you are getting any ABAP report developed, you can ask the developer to write a code saying Controlling Area is equal to Organizational Unit as Set Subclass.
Hope this helps.

COPA derivation for thecombination of Cost center and Cost element/GL accou

Hi Gurus,
In COPA derivation using KEDR i am trying to make a derivation for the
combination of Cost center and Cost element. Here i got following problems
While posting FI document using t.code FB50 system not automatically
updating the fields Cost center and cost element in Profitability
segment. Hence system not posting COPA document. How can i make this
derivation? Is there any note should i apply regarding these.
How can i create cost element as characteristic.
If i configure derivation for the combination of Cost center and cost
element will it be posted with copa document for postings or automatic
postings from MM,HR and FI
Pls provide me solution at the earliest.
Thanks and Best regards,

Hi Murali
Thanks for update
I explain my req clearly
For me segment is Distribution channel field (EXPORT and DOMESTIC)
If GL account is 1000-2000     always                      Export
If GL account is 2001-3000    and Cost center is     X then Export.
If GL account is 2001-3000    and Cost center is     Y then Domestic.
Based on above REQ i am making derivation using KEDR T.code.
These postings should work for all modules postings such as MM, HR also.
Actually this should work automatically and after saving the transaction we should have copa document also.
But problem is in source fields of derivation we have GL account (HKONT) and Cost element (KSTAR). I am making derivation using either of these.
But after posting document system not giving COPA document.
I found the reason is at GL postings we are giving input to GL account (HKONT) but we took in KEDR source field as GL account (SAKNR). GL account (HKONT) is not updating GL account (SAKNR) field in PSEG screen in Fb50. Even i try with cost element (KSTAR), GL account (HKONT) is not updating this in PSEG screen in fb50.
If GL account (HKONT) updates either GL account (SAKNR) or cost element (KSTAR) at the time of posting FB50
Or
If we have the field GL account (HKONT) as source field in KEDR i hope my problem
Get solved.
If you want further info pls give me your mobile number then i ll call you

Cost Center and Cost Element Hierarchy and Actual Cost Center

In Bex - Right now I am displaying Cost Center and Cost Element hierarchy with 12 months of data. I want to display the actual Cost center number next to cost element hierarchy - Can I display in Bex?
Tried to with Structure creating formula variable for Cost Center using replacement path - didn't work. Can you please suggest me how i can achieve this?
The format should be
CostCenter H1 CostElement H1 CostCenter Jan Feb ...
Thanks in advance and appreciate for any help...

Let me explain it clearly and hope it is clear now...
Designed the report as like this - Cost Center Hierarchy by Cost Element Hierarchy for 12 months of data. But Business agian search in R/3 for actual cost center numbers based on above two hierarchy nodes.
I am trying to achieve this Bex instead of going back to R/3 - so that they can understand how the dollar amount is summed up on which major cost centers.
If I remove the hierarchy on Cost Center - it will display all the cost centers. They want to see the Cost center numbers based on CC and CE hierarchy node so that you are displaying only those cost centers. That's the reason I am trying to design the report with CC Hier, CE hier, Cost Center number and 12 months of data.
In my data model - have only one Cost Center, if i can create another ZCOSTCENTER same as 0COSTCENTER - May be I can achieve this. still looking for options with out changing the design.

Report by Internal Order that includes cost element and order type

Good Morning Gurus'
Is there an SAP Standard Report that shows Internal order, cost element and order type? I find many with order, but not order type.
Thanks a million!!

Hi,
No, I don't think so. You can create a workaround by defining order group based on order type by intervals. Or, of course, develop your own report.

Eli

Any Reports show PM Orders Number, GL Number, Cost Element and the amount?

Are there any reports that display the PM Orders Number, GL Number, Cost Element and the amount?

There is no single report to show all the data. You have to use different reports or develop custom report.

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.

Difference between Cost Centre and Cost Element.

Hi Guru's,
what is the difference between Cost Centre and Cost Element.
regards
JK

Hi,
Cost elements:
A cost element classifies the organization's valuated consumption of production factors within a controlling area
Primary Element - costs that originate outside the company; relate directly to the income statement in FI and must be included in the FI Chart of Accounts
Secondary Element - costs that result from internal allocation activities; NO relation to G/L accounts in FI. These accounts are exclusively for cost accounting and are only maintained in CO
Cost centre :
Organizational unit within a controlling area that represents a defined location of cost incurrence. The definition can be based on:
Functional requirements
Allocation criteria
Physical location
Responsibility for costs
Defines the smallest area of responsibility within the company that causes and influences costs; the lowest level to which you can meaningfully assign direct and indirect costs
If this meets your requirement, you may like to close the posting.

DBTable with fields 'Cost Element, Act Cost , Planned Costs'

Could anybody suggest me, name of the Database Table with the combination of fields 'Cost Element,Actual Cost & Plan Costs'.
Thanks in Advance.

From your question it is a bit hard to answer. But tables COSP and COSS both contain totals per cost element.
Is this what you are looking for?

John.
