Cost Center Assessment to Cost Hierarchy based on Actual Consumption error

Assessment is set up:
SENDER: Cost Center: Overhead Expenses (values in expense accounts)
RECEIVER: Top Node of Cost Object Hierarchy (material consumption has been posted to two objects - related account has value and quantity fields)
Segment is set up:
Sender Rules: Posted Amounts
Share:100%
Actual value origin
Receiving tracing factor:
Receiver rule: Variable Portions
Var. portion type: Actual Consumption
No Scaling
Assumption is that "Var. portion type: Actual Consumptions" means the quantity in the consumption account on the receiver from the inventory posting. Is this true?

Hi dear Ajay, thank you for your answer.
first, I understand the difference between KSUB and KSU5, in the defined scenario, we have both. planned values, become actual with the MEC activities. business definition.
regarding the cycle, I have setup assessment cost element so we can get all planned lines posted as 1.
On sender tab I have only the cost center. no cost element defined.
receiver its cost center.
furthermore, i've not setup allocation structure, so all cost elements should be allow, there is no restriction on this.
the only difference is: planned costs which their origin is already an assessment are not being assessed again.
I can show you the print screens with cycles setup if it helps

Cost Center Assessment to COPA

Hi,
I have done Cost Center assessment to characteristics "Company Code" and "Product". System has even generated COPA documnet for costing based profitability analysis.
However, in report developed through Report Painter(KE32), the value field for which the assessment got posted is not getting displayed.
Can any one guide in this regard.
Thanks in advance
Sudhakar

Hi Sudhakar,
When you do the cost center assessment in COPA, you have given 2 characteristicsi.e product , company code and thru one value field.
When designing report in ke32 (report) and form ke35(form), we will give certain characteristics, so check what are the parameters has been given in the report, bcz values flown thru copa assessment will be available only in compaby code and product not for any other characteristics. I guess you have characteristics in report other than these two.
I hope this clarifies.

Cost Center Assessment - cost element type 42

Hi dear All,
I got issues running KSU5 to allocate planned costs under cost element type 42. we were expecting that all planned costs (primary and secondary(cost element type 42)) could be allocated by credit cost center (actual). only primary costs are being allocated.
Scenario:
cost center planning (kp06) 1000 currencies in primary cost element in cost center A
running planning assessment - KSUB: cycle uses assessment cost element (type 42): sender cost center A, receiver cost center B (all planned values). assessment cyles posts 1000 currencies from CC A to cost center B
planning in cost center B (primary cost elements through kp06, 500 currencies) total planning 1000 from previous assessment with CE type 42, and 500 from cc planning in a primari CE.
by the period end closing, tcode KSU5 (allocation actual) is running. new cycle created, based on planned values (origini not actual, but planned amounts).
we were expecting to allocate 1500 currencies from cost center B to cost center C (using 100% and through assessment cost element)).
result: credit actual cost center B = 500 currencies debit actual cost center C = 500 currencies.
1000 currencies pending on cost center B (planned).
do you know why SAP is not allocating the 1000? even if those 1000 were planned in cost center B by assessement, a new allocation cycle should be able to post them or not?
thank you for your outcome.

How batch append cost center group to standard hierarchy by batch

Hi Guys,
Would you please tell how me how append cost center groups to standard hierarchy by batch, every time I have to do it one by one, is there a convenient way? thanks.
Best Regards
FS

Hi,
You can create any number of cost center groups as per your requirement.
But one thing is crucial. If you crin your eate the groups using the T Code:OKEON. those will effect to the standard hierarchy.
Cost centers created wil KSH1 will not effect to standard Hierarchy.
Main point here is the main hierarchy should be maintained in OKEON. Later you can add any number of groups to that. LSMW will work, before that Hirarchy Area(Cost center group) should be maintained in the system for effective work of LSMW.

Error in cost center assessment integration with FI

We just upgraded our test system with support pack SAPKH50020 and when we test cost center assessment, we are getting the error message "For document type SA, an entry is required in field Reference"
The same process is working in our production system, which is under support pack SAPKH50010. We are using the same doc type, and the configuration for this doc type is the same as in our test system.
OSS told us that the only solution is to change the doc type configuration or use a user exit to populate the Reference field.    However, I don't understand why this process is working in the old support pack and not in the new one.
Has anybody encountered the same issue? If so, how was it resolved?
thank you,
Lanny

Hi Phaneendra,
Thank you for your response. But the real question is why is this process different between support pack SAPKH50010 and SAPKH50020.   In support pack SAPKH50010, we also uses document type SA with reference field required, but the cost center assessment is able to post to it without any customization.    Now, in support pack SAPKH50020, this no longer works.    So I'm just wondering if any of you have encountered similar issue after upgrading the support pack.
thanks
Lanny

Concept of CO- PA cost center assessment

Hi Experts,
I would like to ask if you could supply me with more info about the concept of cost center cost assessment in COPA. Is this a standard procedure that must done? I am having my 1st SAP implem. and have been preparing too hard to get much info. as I can take about COPA. I have understanding about value fields an characteristics BUT I am having a hard time to understand cost center allo. and why do is there a need to do it (or maybe not). Aren't they supposed to be an automatic process (distribution of figures to COPA reports)? Thanks and I would understand if the question may sound a little unclear.

Hi,
The cost center assessment to copa comes in places only for allocating the common costs.
Generally, we do allocate the common costs from the common cost center to the respective user cost centers in the overhead accounting.
If the need is to recognise the common overheads directly in COPA, then instead of reallocating the costs with in cost center accounting, we directly transfer the costs to copa thru costcenter assessment to copa.

Cost Center in the costing sheet

Hello All,
We have set up the costing sheet with the material overhead flowing to a cost center 99XX through cost element 8XXXXX (in the "credit" view of the costing sheet) for all production orders. Now, there is a requirement whereby the material overhead for production orders of a certain division need to be allocated to another cost center 91XX.
Please let me know if this is feasible and if yes, how this can be done?
Thanks,
Rugmani

Hi Rajan
What is the basis of overhead absorption? I mean is it a % of some cost or Quantity based?
Different credits for same secondary cost ele is possible only by way of origin group.... And origin group is applicable to the input components in a BOM and not the Output (Header) material
A. So, if your overhead absorption is based on input materials and if these input materials are specific only to one Division/ Header material, you can achieve what you want with the std SAP functinality. But, normally in a prod scenario, this is not the case... One input material can be used across multiple divisions...
B. If this is not your case, then may be you need to consider CO substitution using a user exit or the relevant exit/BAPI called during CO43
C. Another option is to post the credit to one cost center and then do KB11N to transfer it to relevant cost center.... Info required to do this can be easily made available Like this
1. Double click on the credit line items in a cost center report (S_ALR_87013611) and choose to display actual line items
2. Plug in the partner object using change layout option
3. partner object will show you the Prod Order No... From prod order no, you can get the material and the division....
you can develop an ABAP report to give you this info...

Cost Center and res cost center

Hi team,
When i am going to settle the cost of PM Order , COst center pick from Equipment sonly. Then what is the use of assignemnt of cost center in work center.
thanx in advance

Hi,
How do I call you? SAPPM is not appropriate!...
You are attaching one cost center to your work center that supplies required resources (activity types) to perform the maintenance - in IR01. That cost center is to maintain the rate of the resource (Activity types) ie. Rs.500 / Hr or day - in KP26.
Whenever you are utilizing a resource from a work center, system refers the cost center / activity type combination to determine the cost. Based on no. of hours or days utilization, the planned cost / actual cost are determined from the Wctr, Cctr, Acttypes.
These are so called Source of cost center.
After completing the order, the cost incurred are with the maint. order. Now we need to settle to a cost object, it may be a cost center / WBS / Contract / PSEG etc.. depends on your business requirement. You may use a cost center as a Cost receiver / cost object to observe your maintenance cost of an Equipment / Func loc / or its group.
As a whole, the work center / cost center is used to determine the cost (Source). Equipment cost center observe the cost of maintenance(receiver).
Hope this description gives required clarification . If not, Revert back.

Cost Center Report with Cost Element wise Subtotal

Hi All,
We have a requirement where customer wants a Cost Center report with Cost Element wise Subtotal and selection options required are Company Code, Cost Center, Cost Element.
KSB1 solves the requirement, but when executed for 2 or more company codes it is taking 3 to 4 hours.
The other alternative report we tried is S_ALR_87013611- Actual/Plan but this report gives debit and credit values in seperate columns.
Please let me know if we can copy the report S_ALR_87013611 and change it using report writer to have the output by Cost Element wise total.
Also please let me how we can increse the speed of KSB1 report.
Thanks
Satish

for KSB1 Report the following is my suggestion
1. Please go to the selection criteria for the cost elements and de select the secondary cost elements in the the exclude range and try running the report this is generate the report faster.
2. also check the date range please give the date range for 3 t months and if you want to run for multiple company codes. if you want to execute it for longer periods say 9 months or 6 months generate the report in 2 to 3 installments and download them to your excel and consilidate them in excel for your analysis

Transaction data from one cost center to another cost center

Hi All
Can any one tel me how to move the Transaction data from one cost center to another cost center .
My scenario is basically : Users posted for company code 1003 for Cost center S00570 for the period 01.04.2007 to 30.11.2007 but it has to go to company code 1000 instead of 1003 for the same Cost center .S00570 .
What we have done is that we have changed the cost center from 01.12.2007 on words to the correct company code 1000 and now all postings are going to the right company code ie
to company code 1000.
Now the problem is how to bring back the old historical data posted from 01.04.2007 to 30.11.2007 to wrong company code the 1003 to correct company code 1000 .
Is there a way to bring back the historical data which has posted to wrong company code .
Thanks in Advance .
Any help highly appreciated and points are assigned .
Cheers
Ravindra.

Ravindra
Once you have changed the company code in the master data, then the entries with respect to the different company code cannot be transferred. Please follow the process below and let me know if it works.
1. Revert the cost center master data to the original company code.
2. Repost the line items from this cost center to another cost center. Use tcode KB61. The cost center you will be reposting will be a routing cost center (say XXXXX).
3. Once all the line items have been reposted, change the master data of the cost center to the correct company code.
4. Again repost the costs from the routing cost center(XXXXX) to the correct cost center. You should have all the line items to the correct cost center now.
For more on reposting refer the link below:

Costs in Cost Center are not zero after Revaluation at Actual Prices

I executed:
1. KSS2 - Splitting (I use a Cost Center ABC and all Cost Elements in the configuration)
2. KSII - Price Calculation
3. CON2 - Collective Processing
4. I see the report KSB1 of the Cost Center ABC, but Costs are not zero after revaluation. For example
Cost Element 61:                        $   1000
Cost Element 62:                        $   2000
Activity Allocation 98:               $ -2800
Revaluation at actual price 98: $ -100
TOTAL:                                      $ 100
Total must be $ 0.00
We work with thousands of product orders in a month. Is it possible that the problem was for rounding?
Thanks in advance for your help.
José Luis

Hi Ajay,
I checked OKEQ configuration, it's equal that you mentioned.
I have seen that Revaluation registers are using other Exchange Rate. In OB08 Exchange Rate P is 2.80 ( 1 USD --> 2.80 PEN)
How ever those revaluation registers are using ERate of 2.14 (1 USD --> 2.14 PEN)
Why revaluation registers use other Exchange Rate? Is this the problem that Cost Center is not zero?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Need to take cost center assessment cost to product

Dear All,
We have product costing activated in our system. We are taking Raw material , packing material cost from Material master. where as activity cost based on different activity type defined on relevant work center / resource based on certain formula.
Now for some other expenses like power / utility cost, we have created assessment cycle, through which we assess the cost to relevant cost centers based on certain base (SKF).
Now our business requires this cost to load on product cost which is laid on cost centers through assessment.
Pls suggest the way to achieve the same through product costing.
Thanks & Regards,
Taral Patel

Dear Ajay,
Thanks for reply.
As per my understanding below mentioned points I need to consider for costs which is coming on cost center through assessment (based on SKF) as I want to take them to my product :
I need to create seperate activity types for those expenses which I want to take onto my product.
I need to assign them onto my work center / resource.
I need to create a Splitting Structure in OKES and assign respective secondary cost element to the relevant above newly created activity type.... With this, the amount in secondary cost ele would be divided by the relevant activity type ONLY
(Choose splitting rule/method as "!2" i.e. Activity Qty in OKES)
I need to assign my production cost centers (through which I want to transfer cost to my product) to this splitting structure in OKEW.
I need to map sec. cost ele. of above created act. type to co. comp structure.
Suppose I have one power plant at my plant campus. I am distributing this power cost to my 4 different plant (existed on campus) on their respective cost centers Ctr1, ctr2, ctr3, ctr4.
Now as per above understanding when I can see this newly created activity cost to my product cost?
For that I need to assess power cost to all 4 plants and then running my product cost with these newly created activity types?
Pls correct me in my understanding.
Thanks & Regards,
Taral Patel

Cost center assessment in new GL and classic GL

HI ALL
I want to double check one thing. When you run cost center assessments in classic GL, the system will make entries in GLPCT table for PCA with assessment cost element. But when you got migrated into NEW GL then system will not make any entry in FAGLFLEXT table with assessment cost element. These assesments have no effect on PCA module. If I want to reflect the effect of costcenter assesments in PCA in new GL , where can I check for that?....Is there anyway to acheive this without activating both classic and new gl PCA?
Thanks
Steve

Hi,
If you have defined variant for real time integration and it has "Cross profit center" checked and this variant is assigned to company code, then FI-CO reconcilation posting will be posted in each of the profit center.
One can have a single account for all reconcilation posting or different FI-CO recon account can be used for each bussiness process / for each assessement cost element using substitution.
FI-CO reco account is visible in the FAGLFLEXT and hence can be displayed in report.

Cost Center not appearing in Hierarchy

Hello,
I am sending an IDoc from an external system into ERP to create new cost centers. The IDoc comes in successfully and creates the cost center and I can see that it was correctly assigned to the cost center area if I look at the record in KS03. However, when I look at the cost center hierarchy it does not show that the cost center has been assigned to the correct node.
Any clue why this may be happening?

Hi,
When sending cost center data with COSMAS01 this will include the hierarchy node in the cost center master data (separate field in cost center table CSKS). So only the information of the cost center node is transported. However, COSMAS does not include the hierarchy itself.
This is a separate IDoc type, namely COGRP1 which is not transported with IDoc type COSMAS01.
Nevertheless, the hierarchy can then be rebuilt in the target system by running RKCORRH1. This report will read the cost center´s master data and insert this cost center into the specified node of the standard hierarchy.
This is actually a regular procedure - if you do not want to run the report you may also need to send the hierarchy with IDoc type COGRP1 separately.

Waman
