Hello Brijesh,
There is no issues if you leave blank the Cost center field blank, all the report will work fine and also the cost will be displayed at the below hierarchy.
The problem will arrive when you will create any Order over this function location. At that time you will have to create settlement rule manually.

Cost center and Cost element.

Hi all,
I am in an urgent need to understand the relation between cost center and cost element. Please provide me with their individual information as well as the link they share. An existing relationship table between the two, if any, ...then plz mention.
Thanks & Regards,
Naresh

Cost Element: cost element is an individual which carry cost like salaries, wages, power expenses, etc.. These Cost Elements are Two types
1. Primary Cost Element
2. Secondary Cost Elements
Primary Cost Element will carry cost form FI to CO (Cost Centers, Internal Orders, Cost Objects, etc)
Seconday Cost Elements carry cost with in CO to different Cost Centers, Internal Orders, Cost Objects, etc
Cost Center: Cost Center is an individual which contain collection of costs. For example Admin is a cost center, it contain costs like Salaries, Power, Rent, Stationary etc,
With this following report you can retrieve cost elements given a cost center controlling cost center accounting information systems reports for cost center accounting plan/actual comparisons
Thank you

CO, which table decribes "cost center" and "cost center group"?

Hello experts,
now I have the transaction KP06. Maybe through customizing the user has built a "cost center group" for some "cost center".
In which table can I find out the relationship between the "cost center" and "cost center group" ?
Thanks.

Cost Center and G/L Account not defaulting

Hi Experts,
We are on SRM 7/ECC6
I am creating a free text SC...I give the product category and expect that cost center and G/L account will default in the account assignments tab, but they don't and I have to manually plug in these values. I have maintained appropriate SPRO settings where I have linked my product category and G/L account and also marked the default checkbox.
Kindly suggest,
Best Regards,
John

Hello John,
In SPRO configuration
"Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category"
Maintain the configuration like
Category ID Source Syst. AcctAssCat G/L Account Default
0000030 TRXCLNT750 CC 15190001 x
Don't forget to maintain Source System and Default fields for this setting.

Report Painter Request - Cost Center and WBS Element

Hi Everyone,
Currently, my company settles all project related expenses through to a cost center by way of an internal settlement cost element (category 21). The issue with this is that when the expense gets to the cost center, they lose all visability as to where the expense originated, such as salaries or travel expense (category 1 cost elements). We can't switch the settlements to the originating cost element from wbs to cost center just because of the additional data/volume that will cause. My thought was to create a report painter that can run by cost center but also show the wbs's that settle to that cost center and group the expenses by primary cost element (cat 1). I'm assuming that there is a way to marry a cost center and wbs element by way of the wbs settlement rule but how would that be done for reporting purposes? I've seen it done before by way of a nightly job that created sets based on the combination of cost center and wbs but I'm not sure how that was done. Any advise and examples?
Example:
Cost Center: IT
WBS: A.0017.01.01 (settles to cost center IT)
Postings made:
1. CC IT and CE 552000 "salaries"..............................$20,000
2. WBS A.0017.01.01 and CE 552000 "salaries"........... $5,000
3. Settlement of WBS to CC (expenses flow through to CC IT by way of CE 985000)
I want to run CC IT and see that the account 552000 really shows $25,000 and can be broken down by cost object (CC and WBS by the amounts above)
Thanks,
Pete

Hi Peter,
I had a similar requirement and used report painter report group 1SHK-002 (in library 1VK).
I took a copy of the standard and ameneded it slightly, I switched the explode so it occured on the cost center not cost element.
The report runs so that direct costs on the cost center are shown at primary cost level. And values settled to the cost center are shown on the partner object. In your case i guess WBS Elements (Partner ObjType WBS).
Now in my case I didnt need cost element breakdown on partner level, just on cost center so effectively I have(sorry for text alignment but I hope you get the idea):
GL1   ............. 100
GL2   ............. 250
+ Cost center1 total ....350
GL3 .............   50
GL4 ............. 100
+ Cost center2 total.... 150
Primary Cost Total ..... 500
X-YZ-1.200 .............   50
X-YZ-1.400 ............. 100
+ WBS total ............. 150
IO 1............. 100
IO 2 ............. 100
+IO total ............. 200
Partner Total............. 350
Overall total ............. 850.
Its not exactly like your requirement but it might be a good report for you to work with to get what you need.

How to get the cost center and division for a given FI vendor document...

Hello Experts,
I am currently developing a report wherein I have to show the cost center and division used in the given FI document.
These documents are vendor related transactions.
In the file that was given to me by the user, she indicated the cost centers used by the FI documents
but when I view it via VA03 I cannot theere are no cost centers used in all the line items.So are there
any FM, BAPIs and/or tables that I can use for my requirement?
Hope you can help me guys. Thank you and take care!

Hi
I am not sure on the requirement. You are developing a FI report and accessing VA03 which is sales transaction. Anyway for getting cost center you can go to table VBAK,VBAP for line items.
Hope solves ur problem

KO88 - Error when settling for Cost Center AND Auc for the same Internal Or

Hi Experts,
We need to configure Investment Internal Orders that could settle to both Cost Center and Auc, but each assignments with different Source Cost Elements
We did the following:
1. Created Auc Class
2. Created Investment Profile "IMOBIL" and assigned to Auc Class, flagging Auc
3. Created Allocation Structure "CV" with two assignments:
01, Source = Cost elements 7000000000 to 7999999999, receiver AUC "by cost element"
02 Source = Cost elements 4000000000 to 4999999999, receiver CTR "by cost element"
4. Created Model Order, filling the Investment Profile IMOBIL created in step 2.
5 Created Settlement Profile ZCV0001, assigning Allocation Strucutre CV, allowing CTR and AUC for receivers, default receiver is "FXA", doc type "AA".
6 Created ORder Type CV01, assigning Settlement Profile ZCV0001.
When I post only for Asset Expenses (Source Cost element 7, Assigment 01), the settlement through KO88 correctly settles to AUC, and also creates the settlement rule for cost center (i'm using the strategy to create from Responsible Cost Center).
But when I post for Asset Expenses (cost elements 7, receiver AUC) AND General Expenses (Source Cost element 4, receiver CTR), KO88 generates an error KD506, saying that for Assigment 02 - AUC I didnt define a settlement cost element.
1. Assignment 02 is not AUC, is CTR;
2. I flagged "by cost element", so I don't need a settlement cost element. And also, I was able to post to AUC when the source posting was only for cost element 7.
Did you face any problem like this?
I cannot find out what is the missing configuration, or if it is a program error...
Kind Regards
Mayumi Blak

Hi Ajay
I already created Source Structure and assigned to my Setllement profile (so I assigned Allocation Structure AND Source Structure).
I don't understand when you say that I need to assign the Source Sutrcture in each rule....because the Source structure is in the Settlement Parameters valid for both rules...
When I post to Asset Expenses only for the internal Order, the 2 rules (CTR and AUC) are created when I run KO88 (but only AUC rule is settled). This is OK.
The problem is when I post for both General Expenses AND Asset Expenses, the system is not recognizing that I have 2 source structures, neither is findind that for CTR AND AUC the Settlement cost elements are the original cost elements.
I'm thinking about changing message KD506 to warning, do you know if this can help?
Kind Regards

PM Order Confirmation using Personnel's Cost Center and Activity Type

Hi All,
Is it possible to have PM Order confirmation (IW41) using Cost Center and Activity type from Personnel instead of default from Work Center? If it is, can it be done with some configuration or user exit? Please advise. Thank you.
Dai

Hi friend,
Order confirmation will be done for order operations.While doing confirmation we post the actual work done by the repective work center and respective activity type assigned to the same workcenter.
But these activity types are assigned to cost center for cost calculation.confirming the respective operation in maintenance order through workcenters gives the report of planned work and actual work done by the respective workcenter.
We cannot confirm the operation using costcenter and activity type directly through transaction IW41.
If you want to develop new confirmation screen and making confirmation of the respective order operation with only costcenter and activity type fields, you can do it .

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 GL account in Sales Order / Delivery

I have a requirement where we want user to specify what cost center and GL account should be used while posting goods issue.
Currently GL account and Cost Center is automatically determined based on OBYC configuration.
Is there a way user can populate Cost center and GL account at Sales order or Delivery document level and what ever they have specified will be used for Posting Goods Issue.
If user doesnt specify anything then standard OBYC determination should take place.
I looked at OVF3 transaction which can default cost center (though no GL account) but its not useful in our requirement.
I also looked at OKB9 transaction but not sure if we can use it either.
Again we want user to enter Cost center and GL account at either SO or Delivery document level and then that should be used for Post goods issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
In delivery under tab GOODS MOVEMENT DATA
After valuation type column COST CENTER & G/L Account column available
Now with the help of FI consultant make it change mode so user can maintain also I observe that if delivery created without reference to order then that fields are in change mode means user cn maintain data for this but if with reference to order it is disable mode
Check in t-code OMJJ FIELD SELECTION FOR MOVEMENT TYPE
Put movement 601
Then select movement type and double click on filed selection (from 201)
Then go to additional account assignment and for cost centre make it optional or requirement
or Else under field selection enjoy for movement type 602 indsert field KONT0 and KOSTL and check
If this can not work there is option field selection for G/L account check that with FI
