Cost Accounting in SAP B1

Does someone has a good documentatión about de Cost Accounting functionality in SAP Business One?
SAP documentation is very poor to configure the tool, we have tried to créate a hierarchy of cost centers but whe we post we don´t see the postings reflected in the hierarchy.
Help will be highly appreciated, our customer has high expectations on cost centers!!!!

Hi,
For cost accounting navigation is
Financials --> Cost accounting
Step 1
Dimentions
Define as "Department" in Dimentions
Step 2
Profit Centers
Define Profit centers for
A1, A2, B, C.....
select the dimention as " Department"
Step 3
Distribution Rule
Define the distribution rule for the expenses say Electricity expenses for A1 --%, A2 %, A3% like wise define the apportionate the percentages.
Now you can able to select the distribution rule in your JV entry.
Pl. try and I hope you can design the template for report in "Cost center Hierarchy" window and you can set the formula also.
Select this template in the Profitcenter report and hope you will get the report as you want.

Training & Event Management - Integration with Cost Accounting

Dear friends,
I am asking this question because I have no idea of FICO. This question is on integration of Training & Event Mgt with Cost Accounting. What is the meaning of Internal activity allocation & Cost transfer posting? What is the purpose of this integration & how it is reflected in FICO? What benefit a client gets when it is integrated? Who is the sender cost center & who is the receiving cost center and where it is maintained in TEM?
Please help. Please try to reply it in simple language, not in FICO language.
Thanks,
Daniel

Dear Daniel,
Activity Allocation and Billing >
This process comprises all of the functions for settling fees in Training and Event Management, as well as the functions for recording costs and cost transfer posting. In addition, this describes all other functions that are in any way connected with fee processing in Training and Event Management. This includes the following functions:
Billing, which involves creating invoices and credit memos for attendance and cancellation fees
Internal Activity Allocation, which involves settling attendance and cancellation fees and instructor costs
Cost Transfer Posting, which involves transfer posting of event costs in which the cost center of the resource is credited and the cost center of the organizer is debited
Price Proposal, which involves calculating a price proposal on the basis of the cost items stored for a business event. The proposed price can be adopted as the event price.
Budgeting, which involves creating a training and education budget for organizational units and comparing budgets with the actual costs accrued for attendance fees
Please refer the below help link to understand the functionality from TEM point of view :

CO data extraction: report table CO object product cost accounting

In R/3 I have a report which has been created with the Report Writer (tCode GR31). It uses a library based on the report table CO object product cost accounting (KKBC).
The interesting aspect is that this library contains the characteristic sales order number (KDAUF). Using it as well as other characteristics (cost element, value type, results analysis version), the key figure total costs SWKG has been restricted (in the BI meaning) in a variety of ways, giving several restricted key figures.
I am looking for the corrisponding content objects in BW which could allow obtaining the same result. My issue is that all the objects I've found apparently don't have the detail of 0DOC_NUMBER.
After reading the manual page <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/cb/149b3979e90e1be10000000a114084/frameset.htm">InfoCubes in Controlling</a> I've considered the following InfoCubes:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/64/0a6937adf79120e10000009b38f842/frameset.htm">CO-PC-OBJ: Cost Object Controlling</a> (0PC_C01)
It contains only the data of cost elements linked to production orders. As a consequence, the costs elements linked generically to the customer orders are not present. Please notice that the navigational attribute 0DOC_NUMBER is an attribute of 0PRODORDER.
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/33/6db6385443bd7ae10000009b38f8cf/content.htm">CO-OM: Costs and Allocations (Delta Extraction)</a> (0COOM_C02)
It contains all the cost elements, thus also those which are linked to the customer orders. Unfortunately the data are not at the desired level of detail, being aggregated with respect to 0DOC_NUMBER. When a cost element is linked to a production order, the characteristic partner object (0PIOVALUE) contains the production order number. However for those cost elements which are linked to sales documents, the characteristic partner object has no value.
Do you have any idea what DataSource could give me all the data I need, currentrly extracted in R/3 through the KKBC reporting structure?
Cheers, Davide

Hello all,
the thread Business Content for Product Cost by Sales Order by Christian J explains the very same problem I'm facing - in a much clearer way. Unfortunately his issue hasn't been completely solved.
Has anyone any idea about it?
Thanks, Davide

80% of the assets are owned by the head office while 20% belong to the branches.

Joel

Dear Joel,
Your decision maker want to use multi dimensions for the scenario you described most likely not been given the true meaning of the dimension. Segmented chart of accounts would the most close functions to be used even though there are quite a few challenges to meet all your requirements.
The answer is: multi dimensions would not fit your business need.
Thanks,
Gordon

Cost accounting doc

< MODERATOR: Message locked. Please read the [Rules of Engagement|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/rulesofEngagement] before posting next time. stop posting multiple threads on the same topic. >
Hi,
when click accounting button in vf03, there is a cost accounting doc.
1)May i know where is the place to configure to have this cost accounting posting.
2) when click the cost accounting, it leads to ksb5. may i know how to derive the value under value cocurr?
thanks

Hi,
Cost accounting document is posted automatically by system when basic configs have been completed:
1. when the controlling area is defined and the company code has been assigned to that particular controlling area.
2. The number range for the CO activities have been defined.
3. The valid cost objects have been assigned to the transactions (either derivation or manual assignment).
Once the above is in place, automatically CO documents get created and to display the document T.code KSB5 is used.
Cheers,
Rajan.

Dimensions - Cost Accounting.

Hi All,
I am unable to get any help on "Dimensions" in Cost Accounting.
Can anybody help with some documents and configuration specificatins for dimensions ?
I will appriciate your help.
Gautam.

Hi Gautam,
Dimensions is used as base for cost accounting.
Suppose you wish to capture and analyse cost on department, then you need to create a dimention named Department, under which you can define multiple (Profit Centre) department like 1.Sales 2.Purchase 3.Administration 4.Logistic 5.Production 6.Quality etc...
Suppose you wish to capture and analyse cost on Product Group/Mix, then you need to create a dimention named Product Group/Mix, under which you can define multiple (Profit Centre) Product Group/Mix like 1.Fruit 2.Vegetable 3.Grain 4.Medicine 5.Crockery etc..
Then you have to create ditribution rule , in which you will define how to distribute income/expense over Profit Centre/Cost Centre.
I believe above will not only clear your understanding for SAP B1 definition of dimention, but the whole cost acconting concept.
However still If you need more help on this, please provide following information.
What exactly your expectation from Cost accounting as a whole?

Basic Cost Accounting - Starter Pack Funtionality

The Starter Pack does not included Basic Cost Accounting - what exactly dont you get regarding Basic Cost Accounting with the Starter Pack? (No Cost Centres and Projects)
Thank you in advance..

Hi, ok..let me explain again. I have seen this comparison. I also viewed the SAP Starter Package Solution brief that had this comparison on page 2. I realize it shows that no Basic Cost Accounting is available. Based on this, I asked a question here on the forum.
I would like to know what does this mean? What does the NO Basic Cost Accounting not include? Is it NO Profit Centres, NO Projects or what.
I think the question is really straight forward and simple.
Thank you

How to configure Free of charge posting to cost account and not to balance?

Hi,
If we post GI for a free of charge delivery (sample) the following will be posted:
Cost of Sales 100
Finished goods 100
But we do not want to post to Cost of Sales but to a cost account.
What do I need to change?
Regards,
Eric.

Hi Eric van Zundert,
Follow below mentioned procedure;
1. OMJJ - Copy a new movement type as "901" from Movement type "601". For new movement type change the Valuation Modifier to "YAX" instead of "VAX" and SAVE.
2. OBYC - Here go to T/E key "GBB" and do the account determination for the new valuation modifier "YAX" of new movement type (Created in Step1).
3. VOV6 - Go to the Schedule Line Category (which is getting determined in Free of Charge Order) and assign the new Movement Type "901" instead of "601" and save.
Note: - If this Schedule Line Category is used for multiple Sales Orders then copy and create a new Schedule Line Category and do the changes for this one as suggeste din step3 and also do the schedule line category determination.
Now create a new order and do delivery and PGI and check A/c entry, also check during delivery it should pick up new Movement Type.
You need to take help of ur SD Consultant in this case.

Create sales revenue account in SAP R/3

Hi there,
I need to find the path for creating "sales revenue account" and "sales revenue deductions account" in SAP R/3
I will appreciate suggestions for the same.
Thanks

Hi Nishant,
The SAP NetWeaver MDM forum is not appropriate for your R/3-based query.
Better try the ERP Financials forum (SAP ERP Financials) instead.

Shared Service Accounting with SAP PCM

Good afternoon colleagues,
I'd like to have more detailed information about using PCM for the service cost accounting shared service based.
I want to understand how to integrate a shared service model with an ABC or basic costing model and if it's possible to ensure balancing between the costs that are allocated at enterprise level and those managed at service providers level (Shared Service).
I will try to be clearer....
An ABC model operates starting LineItem and useing center of responsibility, activities and cost objects dimensions. Instead Service dimension, which allows an automatic cross-charging accounging is disconnected from the line item costs .... How may I recovery linkage between LineItem value and the service cost? Is it possible?
Thank you very much for your availability.
Giuseppe

Hi Thomas,
you gave me a good idea
I submit another request .... could I use the service attribute at activity level and the grid summaryactivityvalue?
As following modelu2026
Act1 --> Actatt S1
Act2 --> Actatt S1
Act3 --> Actatt S2
Service 1: rule cellvalue = summaryactivityvalue(,,,S1) Service 2: rule cellvalue = summaryactivityvalue (,,,S2)
so I can use the calculations already carried out at ABC with the use of LineItem and provides balancing with the cost determined at the level of activity.
Unfortunately, sometimes it is not immediately make the link between LineItem and service, there are LineItem covering several services in amount not defined (joint costs)
thanks again for Your clear reply,
Best Regards
Giuseppe
