Why we assign cost center while posting to any G/L

Hi All,
I need one clarification.
Why we assign cost center while posting to any G/L, even though we have been assign cost center to the cost element it will post the co entry through cost element.
Please any one make me understand the internal logic and process of how cost element and cost center works.
Thanks

Find below your clarification for the points
Why we assign cost center while posting to any G/L, even though we have been assign cost center to the cost element it will post the co entry through cost element.: Once you have assigned cost center to cost element in T.code OKB9 or KA01, no need of manually entering the cost center for the respecting primary cost GL while passing enteris.
Please any one make me understand the internal logic and process of how cost element and cost center works.: Whenever you post a cost to primary cost element , you require an object in Controlling , such as cost center to identify the costs. This primary costs are only created when the respective GL exist in the operational chart. Cost center is the location where cost incurs. Thus when you assign the cost to cost center , the cost will be booked against that particular location .

Can we assign cost center to more than one company code.

Hi All,
Can we use same cost center for more than one company code to post the cost ? Or is it company code dependant?
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Although the cost center is created under a controlling area, we cannot extend to more than once company code in that controlling area. The Co.code field in Cost Center Master data cannot allow you to feed more than one company code.
But you can post some values from a company code other than the company code to which it is extended. In such case, inter company postings will trigger.
Hope this will clarify your issue.

Implication of changing the Cost center during posting

Hi all,
Due to business reasons, we have unchecked the 'Agree' indicator in the Acct assignment configuration for Asset accounting. Hence, cost center becomes editable during document posting.
We want the cost center to be editable only for ABF1 t-code and for other asset t-codes like acquistion, retirement, scrapping, transfer etc, we want to derieve the cost center from the master data.
Given the situation, I request experts' input on 2 questions -
1. Is it possible to have the cost center editable only in ABF1 and disabled in other AA transactions?
2. If cost center is editable in all the t-codes, what is the implication if the cost center is mismatched with the data available in the master record?
Please provide your inputs.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The client has many plants, of which only few are running in SAP and the rest non-SAP.
Whenever there is transfer of asset from non-sap plant to SAP implemented plants, we handle the situation as below in the receiver plant-
1. Treat the asset transfer as legacy asset transfer and create asset master record through AS91. Maintain the cummulative acq value and Cummu depn value till the last period in master data.
2. As legacy transfer is not real time integrated with FI, we are doing ABF1 posting to pass manual JV to record APC and Acc depn. posting. At this instance, we want the cost center to be manually keyed in. This is because, we have yet another situation, where we need to have the net book value of the asset at cost center level for our allocation cycles. Hence,
3. But, for other normal AA transactions, it shd automatically derieve from asset master.
Request your suggestion on achieving the above requirement.

Sridevi

Prompt for cost center when posting depreciation

Hi all,
Do you know where can i enable 'Depreciation posting with cost center'? Now each time it ask for cost center.
Thanks.

A cost center must be defined in order to post depreciation because it is posting to an expense account. In the SAP standard setup, expense accounts must have a cost center assignment, revenue accounts must have a profit center assignment, and balance sheet accounts must have company code assignment, respectively. To my knowledge, it would take a great deal of FI configuration change to make the deprecation expense accounts not require a cost center (and probably unadvisable).
Thanks,

Modifying the cost center when posting an MM invoice

Hi All,
my client wants to change the Cost Center assignment field when posting an invoice coming from MM process (PR>PO>SES). I'm now using transaction MIRO to make some test and I see the field is 'not modifiable'. I tried to see if i could sort it out from trx.OME9 but i am not really sure how and if i am in the right way. Somebody can please give any clear advices for this requirment? Thanks so much in advance,
regards
Livio

HI,
Just to make sure that there is no confusion here, the changeable indicators DO work if you have a valuated receipt, you CAN change the assignment, but the postings have already been made and will not be affected by the change (it will simply affect further receipts after the change) and so Shoaib is right in some respects because it is not changing the posting, but the fields can be changed to affect future receipts, even after a valuated GR. (I have done this many times).
But I think that the problem with this query is the fact that it is a service PO with the item category D. There is additional validation involved due to the complex data of a service PO.
So I would suggest that you try to change it in the service entry sheet or PO (you may have to reverse the SES first.

Cost center planning data table and transaction code to view

Hi,
I want to see the cost center planning document. In which transaction code, I can see this document.
In which table, cost center planning data is stored?
Regards,
VS ramaiah
Moderator: Please, search SDN

Hello,
I do not think that COEP contains the plan line items*. For plan line items it is COEJ. But as suggested by Christian the better option in case you want to create a report is you use COSS/COSP and COST. The latter is for activity type planning (KP26) and the other two are for cost planning (KP06).
The transactions to view the plan document is KABP and line items is KSBP.
* Christian, do correct me if I'm wrong. I was not able to see anything with value type 01 in COEP.

Prevent oracle r12 legal entity from being posted in another ledger

Given the following:
Ledger = Ireland
Legal Entity:
Germany =123 segment 1
France= 456 segment 1
Ledger=Hong Kong
Legal entity=Hong Kong=789 segment 1
The Ireland ledger is intended for Euro based companies, the Hong Kong for HKD
I want to prevent any journal entries that have a segment1 789 from being posted in the Ireland Ledger, and segment 1 of 123 and 456 from being posted in the Hong Kong ledger.
How does one do this?

Looks like you are sharing a chart of account structure between the two ledger or at least you are sharing the segment 1 value set between the two ledgers.
Once you defined your ledgers, create and assign respective legal entities to your ledgers.
Associate Legal Entity Hong Kong to the ledger Hong Kong.
Associate Legal Entities Germany and France to the ledger Ireland.
Make sure you also assign balancing segment values to the legal entities associated with your ledgers.
Assign 789 to Legal Entity Hong Kong (associated with the ledger Hong Kong)
Assign 123 to Legal Entity Germany (associated with the ledger Ireland)
Assign 456 to Legal Entity France (associated with the ledger Ireland)
Once you assign the balancing segment values to the legal entities, system will not let you use any other balancing segment values (that are not assigned to the legal entities associated with your ledger). This will prevent 789 from being used in Ireland Ledger, and 123 and 456 from being used in Hong Long Ledger.
Hope that helps.

Change business are in cost center

Hi
How to change business are in the already created cost center ???? Pls advice
Thanx

Hi
SAP note 62716 covers this process to change BA if data already exists:
I have copied below in case you dont have access to notes:
Symptom
When you attempt to change the company code or the business area in the master record of the cost center, the system displays message KS020 or KS134 because dependent data already exists, or the system displays message KS021 because the change interval is not set to the year limits.
Enhancement: As of Release 4.6C the report RKACOR06 is enhanced so that you can also change the master data from business processes (CO-ABC, Activity Based Costing) correspondingly.
Reason and Prerequisites
For actual postings, the company code is updated in the document. It is therefore not possible to change the company code of the participating account assignment (for example cost center) later on.
The checks for dependent data, however, are carried out on year level. For this reason, it is not possible to change the company code or the business area during the fiscal year.
Solution
Using report RKACOR06, you can also make changes to the company code and the business area in the master record of the cost center during the fiscal year if the following requirements are met:
1. The change interval is set to period limits
2. There is no dependent actual transaction data in the change interval or afterwards.
3. There must already be an analysis period for the respective cost center which starts on the first day of the chosen period. If this is not the case, you can create one with 'Change cost center' - KS02 (for example, by changing the cost center manager).
If the system contains dependent planning data in a plan integrated version, any respective profit centers and extended general ledgers that exist must be restructured. For profit center accounting, you can use Transaction 1KE0 for this purpose.
Caution! If you change the company code of a cost center, a reversal of a posting in a different period can no longer be carried out if the cost center is assigned to another company code in the reversal period.
Report RKACOR06 is contained in the standard system as of Release 3.1I.
For prior releases, you can download the report from the FTP server sapserv3 from the directory /general/R3server/abap/note.0062716.
Report RKACOR06 does not generate any change pointers. Thus, if you want to send the change of cost centers via ALE, use Transaction BD16.
If you cannot change the BA for some other reason, please provide details.
Regards, Elaine

Is there a way to redetermine the cost center for an internal order on a PO

When we create a PO for an asset we enter an internal order number and a cost center is determined from the internal order. Sometimes after the po is created the cost center on the IO changes. The po is not updated automatically on the PO and it results in the wrong cost center being posted to during the Goods Receipt and invoice receipt. Is there a program or batch job that we can run that will redetermine the accounting data on a PO?
Thanks!

TAX code requires default cost center

Hi,
There is an error coming while posting the MIRO Invoice with tax code ( need to be charge to PL Account) " put the cost center " for GL Account for tax code. This is a cost element & hence requires cost center but the field for entring tax posting. Issue we are facing is that we are forced to default the cost center as screen is not input enabled(greyed) for cost center in tax calculation screen & it is also not picking up the cost center from purchase order screen.
Need to know any solution for this issue.

Statistical posting to Cost center in a CCA report.

Dear,
I am posting AP vendor invoice with one cost element which categorized as a primary cost with cost center.
However CCA report S_ALR_87013611 shows figures 'sometimes' under statistical acct.
Can you tell me where i should go through?
Regards,
Bluesky.

HI,
thats what i try to explain to you there must be another real account assignment object (in your case its profitability segment) together with the cost center that is posted statistically. This is described in SAPNET note 41103 point 4:
"4. More than one actual account assignment object in a document line item is not allowed. The sole exception is the cost center entered together with another actual CO account assignment object. In this case, the additional object is posted as actual and the cost center is updated statistically."
Best regards, Christian

Cost center not updated when posting in non leading ledger

Hello FI Experts
I have two ledgers - Leading and Non Leading Ledger.
When I posted expense entry it updated both the ledgers and updated cost center value. This updated value i checked in cost center report KSB1.
For Ex: Rs. 1,00,000
Now I posted another expense entry in non leading ledger only. For Ex: Rs.50,000
How ever this entry didn't updated cost center report value. I checked in report KSB1
So I want to know:
1. Are there any cost center reports / profit center reports in controlling module where I can get non leading ledger specific amount in cost centers and profit centers
2. Is it possible to run assesment and distribution cycle, cost reposting and other CO transactions for non leading ledger amount
Deepak

Hi Deepak.
You can verify is the cost center was posted on document running tcode SE16N on the FALGFLEXA table, put the document number to do research.
After you can trying to post the new document through Tcode FB50L choosing or not a legder specific, then verify the document was posted correctly running the Tcodes SKb1 or Se16N with FAGLFLEXA table again.
Also you can check this link Checking the Allocation of General Ledgers to Cost Centres
