Compounding Controlling areas and Cost Centers

Hi,
We have only one Controlling area value, say ZC11. I am looking at an InfoObject Master Data table for an InfoObject, and it seems that there are no differences in the records with the Controlling area and Cost Centers with those of blank Controlling areas and Cost Centers.
Is it necesary to define the compounded InfoObject of the Controlling Area to the Cost Centers in this case? I understand that compounding is for use if there are many different Controlling Areas for the same Cost Centers.
What would be the best approach on this?
Thanks,
RT

Hi Bhanu,
May I ask what would be the core change of the SAP InfoObject? I would think that modeling wise, it would be beneficial to not compound if there was just one Controlling area.
I am actually uploading data and I am getting an error that lists the error "value Cost Center/Controlling Area/ Company code is not permitted for characteristics Company Code". I am sending only the value Cost Center but somehow it is looking for the Controlling Area. Should I be sending both the Controlling area and its correspdoning Cost Center?
Thanks,
RT

    Hi,
    Business consolidation is for more of consolidation purpose and cost center grouping is more for management reporting purpose for cost control purposes.
    Both the organizational units serve for different purposes. Consolidatied business will not have much meaning unless you go with EC-CS.
    Cost Center Groups are much for control purpose and help in managerial reporting.
    Business Units are part of FI Organizational Structure and Cost Centers are part of CO organizational structures.

  • 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

  • Hide Controlling Area from Cost center in report

    Hi Experts,
    I have Costcenter as reporting field in BW report. Controlling Area is compunding char for Cost center.
    In the report, it shows both values (cost center and controlling area) when i use cost center in query. foreg. KO01/C123456 as key.
    (KO01 is controlling area and C123456 is Cost center)
    Is there any way to ONLY display Costcenter value in report??
    Thanks in advance.
    -Abhijit

    You can add controlling area IO in the line and hide it (in properties set never display) or you can also insert it in filter with fix value KO01.
    Hope it helps.

  • What is the impact of business area and cost center in the sales document

    Hi all
    I have small doubt regarding what is the impact of bussiness area and cost center in the sales document... what is the uses of these (bussiness area, cost center) is help full for sd module
    can any one reply plz....
    Thanking you

    Hi,
    Business Area determines where the revenue should be allocated when you sell a material or a service.
    For eg: If your customer is in say Mumbai and he is ordering for a service in Delhi (say DIAL - Delhi International Airport Limited) then based on the terminology.
    Your customer would belong to B Basis Business Area - WHERE THE REVENUE IS COMING FROM or WHERE YOUR CUSTOMER BELONGS TO (SALES OFFICE).
    Whereas your DIAL sales will belong to A Basis Business Area - WHERE THE REVENUE IS GOING TO.
    Cost Center would determine where your allocate your cost to.
    Say Rounding Off can be used as a cost element, because some sort of revenue is lost when figures are roudned off..
    Hope it clarifies your doubt.
    Reward points if satisfactory

  • Validations for G/L accounts and Cost Centers!

    Help!!!
    I need to create bunch of validations:
    Ex. If account is 12345  - then is can be posted to only cost center XXX, YYY, ZZZ, BBB...
    If G/L account is 33333 - then it can be posted to cost centers AAA and BBB...
    There are different rules for 137 accounts.
    Here are the questions:
    1. Is it all one validation and 137 steps or are these all different validations?
    2. How can i limit one G/L to many cost centers? What is the formula? It doests let me post If account is 12345 then check cost Center XXX OR YYY OR ZZZ OR....
    It lets me post "OR" only one time.
    Do i need to create a Set for each validation from GS01? or is there any easier formula?  - It is not the range of cost centers, they are just random!
    Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I did exacly that!
    I created a SET.
    Then i went to validation and said preriqisites  - account "XXX"
    Check Cost center IN SET
    Message - Error
    I attached my validation to my company code and put it as Active in OB28
    I even ran the program RGUGBR00 to activate all the sets and validations...
    Now i test it and it is still posting to any cost center.
    What did i miss?

  • Profit centers and cost centers - language maintenance

    Hi!
    We have an SAP environment running where three countries use local languages and the fourth one uses English, also most people working centrally with the system uses English. Also the hierarchies are exported to BI from the English language version of the system. Thus we have a need to maintain names of hieararchy nodes and profit centers/cost centers in several languages.
    Is there any easier way to do this than logging in to all relevant language versions (usually one local and English) to maintain these? Is there some setting that makes it enough to maintain in for instance the English version and it updates all the other languages?
    Best regards,
    Jan Pettersson

    Not really the answer I was hoping for
    it's business side users in each country maintianing the hieararchies and PC/CC... so LSMWs and imports and exports is unfortuntantely not the best of options.
    Hoping for someone else with a similar situation with additonal ideas.
