Cost allocation without a fixed %

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have a peculiar query. My client would like to allocate costs (in Controlling) on varying percentages every period. For example on the basis of the % of COGS to Sales of the products. Though the method of calculating this % will stay the same, the percentage per se will change every period.
Can this be done in SAP Controlling?
Thanks & Regards,
Sangeeta

Hiya,

Cheers.

  • Msg. error BK048 for manual cost allocation

    Hi,
    we got a warning message for manual cost allocation (KB15N), when posting this allocation just with a quantity and without an amount. We would like to post this allocation without amount and therefore need to change the message type from warning (W) to information (I), to do this posting.
    When using transaction OBA5, there is just a fixed and not adjustable value for Standard with "W". Do you know any workarounds or how we can change this message type to do this posting?
    Regards
    Florian

    Hi Florian,
    HAve you assigned users in OBA5?.
    Go to OBMSG, for this particular Message number in the allowed message types, specify IWE etc. In the standard column specify I. Also you could check on check box "Switch Off" if you want to have the option of not seeing the message at all.
    Now goto OBA5, against the message number, in the "Online" column , specify I or - (Switch Off) and do the same in the BAtchl column also.
    Now you need too specify a user only if you want this change for specific users , if you want all the users to be able to post manual cost allocation then do not specify any user name.
    Do tell me if it works.
    Regards

  • Cost estimate without quantity structure

    Hi Gurus,
    can you explain me on below queries
    -->in which situation cost estimate without quantity structure is used
    ---> what is the impotance of credit key in costing sheet.
    Thanks in advance
    Janardhan

    There are several situations where you may want to use a cost estimate without quantity structure.  You can use it as an additive cost in conjunction with a cost estimate with quantity structure.  For example to include freight or other expenses in your cost estimate that are not readily available with quantity structure.  You can also use it to develope a cost estimate for a new product where the quantity structure has not yet been fully developed.  You can also use it in a complex manufacturing environment that does not use Boms and routings.
    As far as the credit key in overhead sheets are concerned, as the name implies they are used to specify which object is credited during the overhead allocation and what secondary cost element is used in the allocation.  Overhead sheet are just another allocation technique in CO, where you allocate costs from one CO object to another.  The credit key determines the sender object in the allocation.
    thank,

  • Cost centre without business area

    Hi All,
    I have document splitting with business area and profit centre mandatory, along with this i have configured business area wise FSV in OBY6.
    We have  configured 10 business areas and 5 profit centres, but i have  created cost centres without business area and i dontwant to create cost centres with business area becoz junk master data in system and no control to users. also i have done configuration in OKB9 for automatic posting expences account with the combination of valuation area-business area- & cost centre, but when we are posting any financial document though MM or SD transactions like PGI or MIGO for service, system is not allowing to post financial document without business area cost centres. Error "Business Area XXXX / Cost centre XXXX is not assigned".
    After all analysis i came to know that, if we have cost centre with business area then only we can move with this set of configuration. Is it right?
    In No. what need to be done. basically we dont want to create cost centres for all Business Area
    Thanks in Advance,
    Sahil

    Hi,
    If you are not ready to maintain BA in CC master you should write Substitution / you should maintain derivation rule for deriving business area.

  • My mac pro screen has vertical lines... How much does it cost to get it fixed?

    My mac pro screen has vertical lines... How much does it cost to get it fixed?

    When you fail to give information on the exact model MBP that you have, how do you expect anyone to provide you with any specific information?
    I suggest that you go to the iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com and look for parts and prices.  That naturally assumes that you know what parts are defective and need to be replaced.
    Ciao.

  • Cost allocation flexfield

    hi
    after reading payroll UG, i am a bit confused about cost allocation flexfield for payroll, assignment, element link, org,element entry.
    can i consider this flexfield as a T ledger, the first popup field is for Debit, the second one is for Credit purposes, when they are used for those 5 sections?

    the payroll - org - element entry - assignment - element link are levels at which you can define to show a segment or not.
    In case a segment is specified at a higher level, it is inherited from the other levels, so an end user has not to enter all the data all over again. (like a waterfall)
    The most detailed level is the element entry level. Imagine if the end user must enter there for each segment and for each segment all values. Too much work and too error prone.
    So you can set values for a specific segment at a specific level (example company code at payroll level).
    Costing then rolls up all levels to fully qualify all the segments.

  • Multiple Cost Allocation Structures in Single Business Group

    We are curently looking at solution design of creating multiple Cost
    allocation flexfield in single business group environment.
    Purpose :
    Based on organization structure (18 companies) , the finance
    consultants proposed multiple COA structures with different
    valuesets , wherein values sets will be specific to the companies .
    This was suggested inorder to aviod tedious job of defining
    validations and post production support.
    This has impact on payroll solution design wrt to cost allocation FF ,
    where in we have to define multiple structures to map to Accounting
    FFs.
    Woudl like to check if oracle payroll supports this kind of setups.
    Note :The implementation is for UAE localization.
    Rgds/Lavanya

    If Finance System has multiple COA structures with different valuesets , wherein values sets will be specific to the companies then they will seperating cosing on Various OU Level.
    As my understanding, you have to create multiple Business Group as per multiple COA structures .
    Thanks

    With best regards
    Praveen Atmakuri

    Hi Praveen
    Can't recollect fully, but please check the FI/CO real time recon variant   Or may be the controlling area in okkp
    Simply activate the real time reconciliation and carry out a cross profit center allocation. Either system will trigger the posting in FI or give you error for missing doc type

  • Common cost allocation to assets in service at different times

    Hi,
    My client constructs large assets that typically go into service over a period of several months. They track some asset costs on tasks assigned to a grouping level of specific assets, while other "general" costs are coded to a task assigned to a grouping level of "Common costs". The problem is that when one of the assets gets placed into service, all of the "common" costs get allocated to that assets. This is resulting in disproportionately larger asset costs for the first one placed in service and a smaller share of those costs allocated to the last asset placed into service.
    What is the best method to get these general-type costs to allocate proportionately across all the assets even though they are placed in service across several different months?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    The problem of equal prorating the common costs is that task may still incur costs after the first asset has been placed in service. The other assets will also incur additional costs.
    You may consider holding the common cost till the end of the entire project. That task should not be assigned to common cost, but instead assigned it to a separate asset, with quantity of 100 units. When project is completed and all other assets are placed in service go and interface the "common" asset lines to FA.
    In Mass Addition split that last asset into separate N assets, where N is the number of real assets generated from that project. Now add the cost of the last "common" assets to the other assets already in FA.
