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

Cost center by default in a sales order

Hi,
I would like to put a cost center by default in a sales order.
Because the users forget often to fill this field, that' s why I would like to complete this field automatically.
I have found a point of customizing with OVZ3 but I have no result.
Any body have an idea?
Thank you
Regards
Kari

Kindly use the Incompletnet procedure for making a filed mandatory. Without completion of this field the sales order can not be saved. Goto OVA2 and assign the value cost center at header level in incompletness process. Then go to VUA2 and assigne it to your sales order.
I think this will help you

Difference between Cost Center and GL Account

Hi All,
I want to know that "what is the difference between Cost Center and GL Account."
Regards

Hi Vidya,
Few points:
1. GL is a FI object and used for external reporting, whereas cost centers are CO objects and used for internal management reporting.
2. In GL you classify the nature of expenses like telephone expenses, travelling Exp. Salary exp etc., whereas by cost center you decide where are expenses were incurred, like Production department, Mkt. Department, HR department etc.
3. You post the FI transactions at GL level whereas the cost center are assigned to those GL account for getting the more detailed information about the expenses.
4. GL accounts are P&L and BS account and only P&L expenses accounts are posted to cost cneters. And you can choose to post it by cost center or not by defining the GL as cost element. If you do not define any GL as cost element, it will not post to cost centers.
I hope it answers your question.
thanks,
Vivek

Just check the G/L account assigned in the PO against the cost center, The G/L account assigned may not be the correct one, Check out if any validation is there for the combination, contact your FI-CO guy as there are always restrictions unknown to a MM guy.

Account-based COPA and having Cost Center as Real Object in Sales Order

Hi,
We have recently activated account-based COPA and in our SO, we realized the Profitability Segment being populated- that is not a problem in normal scenarios.
However, in some cases, we would like to charge to a cost center instead of COPA. We have tried the 2 ways mentioned in the forum/on the web to include Cost Center in Sales Order:
1. Go to OVF3 t-code and configure a default cost center for the order reason
2. Change the SD Document Category under 'Define Sales Document Types' to 'I- Order w/o charge'.
However both ways only open the Cost center field but still populates the COPA. At accounting entries, cost center will become a statistical object and COPA, the real object- which is not what we want.
Is there a way to stop the auto-populating of Profitabiltiy Segment in SO when cost center is being entered?
Thanks very much in advance for any suggestions.
Regards,
Huimin

Solved by myself, with help of OSS Note: 44381 - Profitability Segment Not Required in SD Postings. Have a CO substitution rule to clear away the Profitability Segment number based on certain conditions. Thanks!

Assign Cost Center for Internal Consumption in Sales Order

Dear Experts,
I have a scenario is that Marketing Manager want to give a gift to his customer, the expense of this gift will be charged to Marketing Department. As the law, the invoice of this gift is required with the posting as below:
Dr Expense acc 5000 USD
Cr Revenue acc 5000 USD
(Assume that there is no tax)
I create a Sales Order with the Product is the Gift that will give to customer, and I also assign the Cost Center as Marketing Department. The problem is when I generate the billing document from this Sales Order, the system throw the error: Cost Center XYZ (Marketing Department) is not allowed posting revenue. This error happen because I don't want to post revenue to Cost Center, I want only Expense will be posted to Cost Center. But because I assigned Cost Center in header of Sales Order, system will post both revenue an expense to this CO object. Now what I want to do is post Expense to Cost Center, revenue to Profit Segment. Is it possible and what I need to do if it is possible?

Truc Nguyen

GR for production order post to cost center and not to the production order

Hi all,
when we post the goods receipt for the finished product against the production order (mov. type 101), the order is not credited with the corresponding stock value. Instead of this, the value accounts to a cost center.
We specified this cost center in OKB9 (Default account assignment), because if not, we get an error when posting the goods receipt cause of lacking accounting object.
I can't see why the system does not credit the production order?
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
This is the first time i am coming across an issue like this.
neverthless from a logical front,
1. Remove Cost center as a valid receiver in Settlement Profile.
2. Your OKB9 setting are pretty much good. No need to worry about it. Becasue, OKB9 only will work if the system doesn't identify any other cost object. In this case Production Order is an automatic cost object which system should have taken.
3. Check the Settlement rule when you have created Production Order. It should have been MAT.
4. I hope you are creating Production Order with Material (using CO01 and not CO07)
5. Make sure in OPL8, the default rule in controlling tab is PP1.
Once all these are fine, i do not see any reason why you will get your probelm.
Please check and revert back to me if the problem still persists.
Best Regards
Surya

Breakdown of costs into specific GL Accounts on Sales Order

So, here's what I understand from the client. They have the cost of production from Raw Materials to Finished Goods and will be setting up in the system on the production side by the breakdown of all costs. The question is, when a sale is made, can we post some or all of these specific costs into respective GL accounts? I am not still very clear on the requirement as such, but it was drafted by someone prior to me. I am just preparing to understand this scenario in terms of how we can do this in the system. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi
When we make sales we can charge cost of goods sold to relevant GL by making account determination assignment in OBYC and accounting entry takes place at the time of PGI. We can charge material's cost price in one G/L here. If your query to break this cost in different GLs and post, then I must say that this is not possible. System only posts materials cost price which comes from material master data.
Understand your client's query in detail and see if this is what they are seeking for.

Cost Center and Profit Center in Sales Order and Deliveries.

What are the different methods of determining cost centers and Profit centers in Sales orders ?
Can Cost Center be determined independently in sales order or will be detrmined from Profit center ?

Hi Sunil
Profit Centres are used primarily in S&D (at billing stage it is transferred to FI) for registering revenue.
Billing -
Integration Points Module
Debit A/R - FI/ CO
Credit Revenue - FI/ CO
Updates G/ L - FI/ CO
(Tax, discounts, surcharges, etc.)
Return Delivery & Credit Memo -
Integration Points Module
Increases Inventory - MM
Updates G/ L - FI
Credit Memo - FI
Adjustment to A/R - FI
Reduces Revenue - FI
Profit Centers can be set-up to identify product lines, divisions, geographical regions, offices, production sites or by functions. Profit Centers are used for Internal Control purposes enabling management the ability to review areas of responsibility within their organization.
The difference between a Cost Center and a Profit Center is that the Cost Center represents individual costs incurred during a given period and Profit Centers contain the balances of costs and revenues.

Cost Center and Internal Order report

Hi,
We are trying to design an account structure using Cost centers and statistical Internal orders. So any invoice would be booked on REAL Cost Center and a STATISTICAL Internal Order. Can I pull up a report based on the cost center and also the internal order?
Our other requirement is to report the values on the statistical internal order along with the values on a profit center ( can be any profit center belonging to the company). Is there any way to develop a report using special purpose ledger or ABAP that can achieve this requirement.
Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Venkat

In t code KOB1 - Order line items, you will get details of cost center as well. For this you need to display field Aux. acct assignment_1.

Change the Accounting document fields cost center and profit center

Dear Experts,
User has posted document with wrong profit center
For that we subjected that he can go to the profit center actual posting T.Code 9ke0 but with that he can only change the Profit center document with that there is no accounting side updating
I have tried with Document Change Rules, Line Item for fields cost center and profit center in that while configuring I did not get any error message,
But in the document I am unable to changing the same fields cost center and profit center
Can any body please guide me to resolve the issue?
Essentially I want to change the Accounting document fields cost center and profit center
Thanks in Advance,
Wiswanath

Hello,
Once the documents are posted in FI module, the system doesn't allow anybody to change the cost objects (cost center, profit center, internal order). The only fields you can change through FB02 transaction are the Line item text (BSEG-SGTXT) and the assignment (BSEG-ZUONR).
If you want to get a change to the cost object to be reflected from FI to CO, you should reverse the FI documents with wrong cost objects and post new documents with correct cost center, profit center.
Hope it helps you.
Cheers,
Daniel.

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 .
