Connecting Plants to Cost Centers

How would I tie Cost Centers to the Plant they come from? We are trying to extract to BW each cost center that relates to a plant, but cannot find the connection between the two. There is not a place on the cost center to enter plant and I just haven't found that tie between the two.

Plants are connected to Company Code.
Coming to cost centers - they are tied to controlling area and Co Area is assigned to Co Cd.
Hope that helps...
Thanks,

  • Account/Cost Center Determination (OKB9) for same plant & 2 cost centers.

    Hi,
    I faced a weird situation My situation is i have the same plant but 2 different profit center's & 2 different cost center's . My OKB9 cost element is configured through "Plant/Valuation Area (1)".
    Previously when ever we used this "Plant/valuation Area" determination we used to give plant and corresponding cost center and left other fields like Business Area, Order and profit center blank. see below thing for clear idea
    Plant A - Cost Center A
    Plant B - Cost Center B
    Now with this weird situation, i am not sure whether we can configure OKB9  as below
    Plant A - Cost Center A - Profit Center A
    Plant A - Cost Center B - Profit Center B
    If we can do as above, will their be any implications.
    could anyone help me out of this situation.
    Thanks

  • Plant Maintenance Order planning costs transfer to Cost Centers.

    Hello,
    1.  Capacity Planning
    I'm trying to get planning information from a PM order back to a cost center.
    I have planned operations in a PM order with a valid activity type and the work center is linked to the Cost Center.
    But I cannot see any information in KSBL, Cost Center planning report.
    I have tried KSPP - Transfer to Cost Center and KSOP - Transfer to Activity based costing.
    Both come up empty.
    What am I missing?
    2.  Costing.
    I would like the planned costs in the PM order to settle to the cost center plan.  But the PM orders are not configured for planned settlement (I believe that's an SAP setting). 
    How do I get the planned costs into a cost center's plan?
    Thank you very much for your help,
    Dan.

    Thanks, but I'm trying to integrate the planning that happens in a PM order with the cost center.  I was able to get planned costs from the orders via S_ALR_87012993.
    the lack of planned settlement in a PM order is annoying.  We do a lot of work on PM orders and settle actual costs to cost centers.  It would be nice to use that same functionality (Operations, Components, task lists) to be able to plan costs and settle the planned costs to cost centers.  Internal Orders can settle planned costs to cost centers, why not PM orders?
    I believe the KSPP transaction helps to link the two objects somehow, but I can't get it to work.  If anybody has any insights, that would be great.
    Or should I be pursuing something else?
    Thanks.
    Dan.

  • Multiple cost centers postings in RE-FX.

    Hello everyone!
    We are currently implementing SAP Flexible Real Estate solution to manage the company's properties. We are facing some problems regarding the distribution of rental costs among multiple costs centers. Our scenario is basically this (example):
    1)In our usage view we have one building with three rental spaces connected to it. Each rental space has different area-measurements and represents different segments in our company (with a specific cost-center associated to it).
    2)The company doesn`t own the building, the structure is rented from a person outside the organization. In this case we`ve created a Commercial lease-in type of contract (external contract, where the company is the user of the object).
    3)This contract contains the three rental spaces mentioned above, and we've configured the contract condition to distribute the rental costs among these objects based on the area measurement.
    4)When we perform transaction RERAPP for this contract to pay the vendor we`ve noticed that even though the costs where divided among the objects, the cost-centers were not updated.
    Considering that the contract doesn't have a cost center field in it and also considering that we have to update multiple cost-centers (with a distribution criteria based on measurements), we would like to know if someone have this kind of problem before?
    We are using an older version of the SAP System(4.7) that doesn't offer as many options as more recent versions (such as 6.0)
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    In this case, instead of Cost centres, Real estate Objects will act as the Cost carriers. No need for Cost centres at all.
    Since the Real Estate Objects master data contain Profit centre field, the values posted to Real estate Objects will be automatically carried to the Profit centres as well.
    During Periodic processing of Real Estate Contracts, the system will automatically post to the Transfer and Posting. During transfer posting values will be posted from Real Estate Contract to the Real estate Object.
    You can track costs and revenues through Real Estate Objects directly, No need for Cost centres at all.
    Thanks

  • Usage of Cost Centers, Profit Centers and Internal Orders

    Hello everyone,
    i have perhaps for some of you a simple question but it bothers me alot.
    Imagine we are using Cost centers and Internal Orders. For them we create statistical key figures using transaction KB31N.
    Now we are installing SAP BI and want to create a report which would be generated acording to cost centers but with statistical key figures.
    The question would be how to make a connection between cost centers orders and those stat.key.figs?
    In our case the economists say that we are using this kind of scenario:
    Dist.chanel ->
    Sender: Cost center, Cost element
    Receiver: Int.Order
    and Stat key fig.
    This is the only place where we have a connection between thos objects. Is there other way how to connect them. perhaps using profit centers?
    If somebody didnt understand it, maybe ill try to explain it a bit better

    Hi Laurynas,
    Pls try to understand the concept as explained hereunder...
    Cost Element:
    Primary Cost Element : Replication of GL to bring costs into CO module when they are posted in FI 
                                       module
    Secondary Cost Elements: Carriers of costs between two Cost Objects (when we want to transfer the
                                            cost from Cost Centers to Internal Orders, vice versa and more, we create
                                            Secondary Cost Elements to carry the costs and transfer them to the 
                                            reciever objects from sender objects)
    Cost Center: It is a Cost Object, maintained on long-term basis, where we can capture the costs (Ex:
                        Marketing Cost Center)
    Internal Order: It is also a Cost Object, maintained on shor-term basis, where we can capture the costs
                         (Ex: Internal Order for Special Marketing Campaign). Ultimately, whatever the costs
                          posted to this Internal Order, will get settled to Marketing Cost Center.
    Staitistical Key Figure: It is used as a basis for allocation of certain expenses (Simple example would
                                      be, Total rent paid for office is $100000 per month. This cost has to go to
                                      different Cost Centers like Finance and Accounts, Marketing, Purchase Dept
                                      etc on the basis of "Area Occupied". So, We will define "Area Occupied" as a 
                                      Statistical Key Figure in our system.
                                     Now, when the Rent amount is posted in FI, it wil reach a Virtual Cost Center
                                     (An "Allocation Cost Center" with name "Rent" to be created under your
                                     Controlling Area) "Rent". From there, it has to reach the other Cost Centers (lie
                                     F&A etc as explained above) on the basis of Area Occupied (SKF Created
                                     for "area occupied")
    For this, you need enter the Area Occupied values (Ex:Sq Ft) in KB31N and you need to create an Allocation Cycle (Distribution / Assessment) where in you will select "Area Occupied" (SKF) as your Receiver Tracing Factor.
    I hope I am clear, don't hesitate to revert back for more explanation...

  • One warehouse with three cost centers

    Dear GURUs,
    We are facing a problem while doing following activity
    1. We have one warehouse (suppose 2465), which is sending material to three sales offices(2415,2416,2417) from sales office the material is dispatched to customer.
    2.(Old setting)We have assigned the each sales office to each cost center & profit center is taken through material at plant.
    3. (new setting) Profit center is removed from material master .  
    4. While sending a material from warehouse to sales office customer ,we are putting the profit center at sales order field.System automatically picking the profit center which is entered in the sales order.
      5. But at same time if freight or any other condition(discount or rounding off) is put then system is picking warehouse as cost center
    But we require respective sales office cost center
    Note: Customer's sales office should be considered as a cost center as material will be dispached directly from warehouse to customer.
    With Regards
    Sandeep & Ajay

    Dear,
    IF you have to take care of capacity planning and scheduling, then you need to use  only one WC and having two WC will not serve the pirpose.
    Generaly you cannot assign WC to 2 different cost center unless the period is different.
    Then the only solution is let the cost get posted to 1 common cost centre. Then at the month end distribute the cost to 2 different cost centers depending on then qty produced.
    This is the one laternative we are following.

  • Plant and cost center.

    Can any body tell me where i can see that a plant is mapped with cost center

    Hello,
    Cost Centers are NOT assigned to Plants. (They are independent of plant).
    Just for your information, plants are part of MM organization structure where as Cost centres are part of Controlling (CO-CCA).
    Cost centers have a time frame where as plants no time frame.

  • Validation for Cost center for Goods issue against the cost centers

    Dear Friends
    In my client place we have 6 plants are defined and profit centers are defined for each plant. Hence here each plant is one profit center. Cost centers are defined plant wise.
    The requirement is when the goods issued to cost center system should check the cost center is defined against the plant. ( i.e., Cost center def against the Profit Center, and Profit center equal to Plant).
    Is there any provision to assign the plant to profit center or vice versa?
    Please guide me how to resolve the issue.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    Please check EC01. May be it can help you. But in my view it is not possible.

    In OKC7 you can define validations to check the relationship in CO and FI postings. You can use exit RGGBR001 for custom code.  You could set this relationship up in a table and then check that. 
    pts appreciated.

  • Reporting Restrictions by Cost centers

    Hi
    I have a cost center reporting role which has an object  K_CSKS where we maintain cost center values. Now we have a many CCs maintained for this object. SO manager of CC 100 can also see reports for CC 200 which we want to restrict. How can we restrict CC access for a user. I want to avoid creation of 100s of roles by each CC.

    Hello Vishwas,
    I suggest you to do  the following :
    each cost center belong to a cost center group. you can see the connections with transaction KS13.
    Anyway , to make the creation of this roles easier, you need that the fields KOSTKL (cost center) and the field RESPAREA (CO-OM Responsibility Area) will be in the ORGLEVEL area.
    when this fields are there , you create a master role with all the transaction that are needed to manager of CC.
    you create the first derive role with a specific cc or a cost center group which contain his cost centers .
    the second derive role is a copy of the first one and all you need to do is to update the new cc and the cost center group at the orglevel area.

  • Delete/deactivate cost centers

    Dear Friends:
    We have unwanted cost centrs in configuration client.We want to delete them or deactivate them, i.e they are not taken into development system.Is is possible.Please advise?
    Thanks&regards
    msreddy

    Hi,
    There are two ways to delete the cost centers:
    1) simple way: you may find a transaction in customizing which is used to delete testing-purpose cost objects, regardless transaction data existing or not. (did not connect to any system, so can not list the path here, if you could not find, let me know. I'll specify it at later time)
    2) a bit complicated way: as dependent data exists in the cost centers, before deleting them via KS04, all the dependent transactions must be deleted from table, e.g. COKA/COSP/COSS/COEP/COBK/..., there are some reports listed in some notes will guide you: notes 45122/549760/51513/175522
    But before doing so, thoroughly testing should be done carefully...
    Good luck,
    Regards, Samuel

  • Is there any SAP Standard programe to posr cost centers in LSMW

    Hi
    Is there any Direct input or Batchinput programe to load cost centers
    by using LSMW

    No. Also a note that these tables store data in a different way. Meaning that if say for a material , period and plant combination (primary keys of tables) the value of stock has not changed then there will be no entry in these history tables. So usually you would need to write a Function module to read these tables and populate values accordingly for BW reports to make sense.
    Hope this helps.
