Cost Center cost allocate to CO-PA

Hi Guys,
My issue is have 5 cost centers departments,(EX FI,SALES , LOGIST & Others),5 products each product have profit center, as per requirement product wise cost center master created each department .
based on above information cost center cost allocate to CO-PA Through co-pa assessment cycles. but without creation of assessment cycles cost directly cost allocate to co-pa through value fields. mean template allocation is it possible.
how to map this scenario. pls give me solution.
Regards
SIVAJI

Remaining balances (under/over absorption) in cost centers can be assessed to respective profit centers/CO-PA using profit center grouping in the cycle segments (KEU1) or using characteristic derivation (KEDR) configuration.
Hope that helps

Cost Center , Cost element , GL Accounts , Cost sheet , Account Assignment

Dear Experts,
Please explain what are Cost Center , Cost element , GL Accounts , Cost sheet , cost component and structure, Account Assignment and how they are interlinked with each other with transactions.
Thanks,
Ram

Dear,
Cost element : A cost element classifies the organization's valuated consumption of production factors within a controlling area. A cost element corresponds to a cost-relevant item in the chart of accounts.
Primary cost element: A cost element whose costs originate outside of CO and accrual costs that are used only for controlling purposes
Secondary cost element: A cost element that is used to allocate costs for internal activities. Secondary cost elements do not correspond to any G/L account in Financial Accounting. They are used only in Controlling and consequently cannot be defined in FI as an account.
Cost Center: An organizational unit within a controlling area that represents a defined location of cost incurrence.
GL Accounts : GL Accounts is master data preparation which is assign to chart of accounts.
Costin Sheet : The costing sheet integrates all elements of overhead costing. In costing sheet calculation base, cost element & Overhead rate & credit are define.
cost component and structure :
Cost component - Makes the costs of a material, an activity type, or a process transparent & Groups the costs of a material according to the requirements for material valuation and profitability analysis
cost component structure : It is use for
Activity prices for an activity type
Cost of a process
Planned cost of a product
Material costs passed on to material valuation as the standard price or inventory price
Cost of goods manufactured passed on to Profitability Analysis
Account Assignment : It's use for direct posting. In this we have to assign GL which is required to post directly.

Cost center cost flow

hi,
I would like to clarify if below process is correct.
1 indirect cost center to allocate out indirect cost or fixed cost to direct cost center
2 direct cost center with all its own variable cost + allocated cost from indirect cost center, via keu3 cycle to copa
3 can indirect cost center directly via keu3 cycle to copa?
Thanks

How to find the difference between Project costs & Cost center costs?

Hi all,
Can you please explain me ? What is project Cost & Cost center cost and which are the tables having those fields of project cost & cost center Costs? And how to find the difference between their costs ? And please give me the functional Idea about it?
Thanking you all in Advance...
Regards,
Chandru

Hi,
goto table COSP:
1) object-no. beginning with 'KS' refer to cost-centre
   example: 'KSKOKA4711'
   with KS, KOKA = controlling area and 4711 = cost centre
2) OBJNR beginning with 'PR' refer to projects / WBS-element
   example PR00001234

Cost Center & Cost Element Excel Planning Profile Error - KP06

Hi,
I have created a layout for cost center/cost element planning.after that i have created planner profile.but while saving the generic file,i am getting the below error and not able to save that.Kindly advice me.
A later upload is not possible with this layout
Message no. K9363
Diagnosis
The layout cannot be used for an upload. This can be caused by one of the following situations:
The layout does not contain a data field that is ready for input.
The layout has a lead column that only contains the text for the characteristic value and not the characteristic value itself
The layout contains formulas
The layout has a complex lead column and contains empty lines.
System response
If generic file names have already been created (that is, an upload is intended), the file description cannot be saved.
Procedure
If you want to use the layout for an upload, configure it accordingly.
If one of the last three situations is the case, the layout can only be used for manual planning and not for an upload. In this case, remove the generic file name.
Thanks

Cost center & cost element

Hi Experts,
Can anybody please tell me,
What is difference between cost center and cost element.
what is exact role of both.

Hi,
Cost Center
Definition
External object (object type K) from Controlling which represents a clear origin of costs.
If you implement the Controlling component, you can find more information in SAP Library under Cost Center (Financials u2192 Controlling u2192 Cost Center Accounting u2192 Master Data in Cost Center Accounting (CO-OM-CCA) u2192 Cost Center)
and
Cost Center Accounting (Financials u2192 Controlling u2192 Cost Element Accounting).
Use
By assigning cost centers to organizational objects, you determine where costs incurred by the object are to be charged. The inheritance principle applies: If an organizational object is not assigned a cost center, the cost center assigned to the superior object applies.
An organizational object may also be assigned more than one cost center. For more information, see Cost Distribution (infotype 1018).
Integration
A cost center can be related to the following organizational objects:
·        an organizational unit via relationship A 011 (Cost center assignment)
·        a position via relationship A 011 (Cost center assignment)
·        a work center via relationship A 011 (Cost center assignment)
Cost Elements
Definition
Cost elements classify an organizationu2019s valuated consumption of production factors within a controlling area. A cost element corresponds to a cost-relevant item in the chart of accounts.
Structure
We distinguish between primary cost and revenue elements and secondary cost elements.
Primary Cost/Revenue Elements
A primary cost or revenue element is a cost or revenue-relevant item in the chart of accounts, for which a corresponding general ledger (G/L) account exists in Financial Accounting (FI). You can only create the cost or revenue element if you have first defined it as a G/L account in the chart of accounts and created it as an account in Financial Accounting. The SAP System checks whether a corresponding account exists in Financial Accounting.
Examples of primary cost elements include:
· Material costs
· Personnel costs
· Energy costs
Secondary Cost Elements
Secondary cost elements can only be created and administrated in cost accounting (CO). They portray internal value flows, such as those found in internal activity allocation, overhead calculations and settlement transactions.
When you create a secondary cost element, the SAP System checks whether a corresponding account already exists in Financial Accounting. If one exists, you can not create the secondary cost element in cost accounting.
Examples of secondary cost elements include:
· Assessment cost elements
· Cost elements for Internal Activity Allocation
· Cost elements for Order Settlement
Integration
Cost elements in Controlling (CO) are closely related to the general ledger accounts used in Financial Accounting (FI). This is because the SAP System is structured as an Integrated Accounting System:
Cost elements document which costs (differentiated by category) are incurred within a settlement period, and in which amount. They provide information concerning the value flow and the value consumption within the organization. Cost Element Accounting and Cost Center Accounting/Internal Orders are closely linked in the SAP System. Each posting to an account that is also a cost element, is assigned either to a cost center or order. This ensures that at period-end the data is subdivided by cost elements and cost centers/internal orders for analysis purposes. The following section describes how you can subdivide and characterize cost elements in the SAP System.
Cost element characteristics depend on the controlling area and the allocation methods used in your organization.
Hope this helps clarifying your doubt about cost center & cost element.

Questions about Planning Cost Center - Cost Element

Hi,
I'm trying to find a solution to this customer requirement.
We need to do a transfer between cost center/cost element to another cost center/cost element for a planned value. This is possible using 2 time the KP06 transaction (first adding on the receiver, then decrease on the sender).
We need to do this in only one CO document or with a unique transaction (like KB11N for primary costs). How to do this?
Another question: we try to modify the text of the document (COBK-BLTXT) but we can't find the appropriate transaction (KABP is only display). How to do this task?
Thanks
Regards.

HI,
First Of all lets not have a fight
Now the solution
In Ksv1
Whne u define the segment header in the below tab U define the receiver rule ..
In the Variable portion type define " Planned cost"
Also dont forget to make the tick mark to Planned value in the sender header
then enter the receiver mention the receiver cost object

Cost center, cost element and asset

Hi Experts,
a) What is a cost element?
b) Is there any link between the cost center and the cost element
c) How can I tie a cost element to an asset?
Thank you,
Raneetha Weerasinghe.
Moderator: Avoid asking basic questions

Hi ,
First and foremost thing , a cost element is the shodow account of all the Expense / Revenue nathure P&L accounts in CO i.e controlling . There are no B/S type accounts which are created as cost elements . Primary cost elements are P&L GL accounts which are created in chart of account and in CO you call them as cost elements , they have to be created in CO
Secondly , In a cost element you can porovide the default cost center as to where it will post like if you have created cost element 1 then you can say that cost element 1 would always post to cost center 1 . else when there is a posting to be made in P&L account type GL then you will have to provide a cost objet which can be cost center .
Thirdly assets to cost elements , that would be used in IMG setting only when you have the P & L type accounts for depn. , write off revenue / loss etc. there you mention those GL accounts and system derives the cost element from there .
In the 3 rd Question what is the exact requirement please elaborate .
Hope this helps .

Cost center/Cost element summarize report

Hi,
I would like to know if there is any report to display cost center data summarize by cost element, displaying in one column cost center, in another one cost element and in another one the amount.
I have done it in KSB5 but I have to display all the information and the summarize and it takes a lot of time, is there any other option to obtain this information?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
What about this one? S_ALR_87013611 - Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance
If you don't want cost centre to appear in the tree, but just next to cost element, you can create your own report based on this one, putting cost centre field in the main layout (GRR1).

Retraction of Cost center Costs- Primary and seocndary cost.

Hi ALL,
I've configured the cost center retractor for cot elements, and it works fine.
However, I've noticed that it does NOT retract the secondary costs from BI to ECC.
Is that the way it's supposed to work? How can I can get it to retract secondary cost element costs from BI back to ECC.
Thanks

Hi,
Either IP or BPS will not support retraction of secondary costs.
Please refer
For BPS
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem320bw/helpdata/en/99/97157967e3440a94d199538959cd0b/content.htm
Retractors
In BI Integrated Planning, no new retractors are shipped.
In BI Integrated Planning, you can only use some of the retractors that are used in BW-BPS: you can use any retractors that work according to the pull principle (COPA and Public Sector) without changing them. Other retractors cannot be used directly in BI Integrated Planning; retraction is only possible using BW-BPS.

Can we use FAGLFLEXT totals for cost center-cost element totals?

Hi All
I would like to extract data out of our sap ECC 6.0 for our data ware housing system. We have cost center and profit center as scenarios. Now my question is , Is it advisable to extract cost element-cost center totals from FAGLFLEXT or is it better to get the values from COSS?.
Please throw your views
Thanks

Hi,
I think you're better off using a combination of COSP and COSS since changes in a cost center's balance due to CO internal allocations within the same company code will not reflect in FAGLFLEXT.

Report cost center/cost element in Business Warehouse

I have report in SAP CO including: rows - cost centers / cost elements; columns - periods /months/, created using trans GRR1;
I need the report including: rows - cost centers / cost elements; columns - divisions /that are defined in cost centers - 2010400000 - 04 is the division/;
I'll do it in BW but I have to write every row separately /the report consist over 500 rows/
Are there any way to do this easier?
Pls advise

Cost Center/Cost Element budgeting

Hi SAP Gurus
Could anybody tell me how to restrict the posting if the budget exceeds in cost centre planning/budgeting.

Use Investment Positions (IM) instead of Cost Centres as you refer and every thing is possible as you wanted.
PS budgets and Cost Centres budgets are no where linked.

Cost center planning for overhead calculation

Gurus,
I have a doubt regarding the cost center planning for overhead calculation.
My scenario is:
There is a service cost center from which a certain percentage I want to allocate to the products as overhead. Now while doing so I have created a cost center and a cost element of type 43 (internal activity allocation). This cost element is the base for overhead calculation. Also I have created one cost element of type 41 (overhead rates). I have defined the credit (of cost sheet) with the cost element of type 41 and the cost center as mentioned.
Now I am facing a problem while planning the cost center with cost element type 43 through KP06.The system is throwing the error message: 'Cost element xxxx can only be used for activity input'. My understanding is we must carry out the planning for the cost center to allocate a certain percentage to the product cost estimate. If I am not allowed to use the cost element of type 43 to plan, what should I use for the planning?
Request your suggestion.
Thanks in advance!
Snigdho.

Hi
Since you mentioned catg 43 cost element, I thought you are using Activuty Type
To apply overhead on the product during CK11N, you need not plan any value on the cost center... The values planned in the cost center can not be used as a BASE in your costing sheet....
It goes like this
1. Your cost estimate has BOM + Routing
2. So, the cost elements that you would see during CK11N, can be broadly classified into 3 types
a. Primary cost ele - Material Consumption accounts for BOM components
b. Secondary cost ele (Catg 43) - If you use any actvity type in the routing
c. Secondary cost ele (Catg 41) - These cost elements are parasites... They need some basis to calculate the overhead value... That basis can be either the (a) or (b) above.....
I think, what you are planning to do is Plan Primary cost ele in a cost center and trying to use the same as the Basis.. That wont work!
What you need to do is
a. PLan the values in the cost center, say, 100,000 USD
b. Absorb it on the basis of 2.a or 2.b
If 2.b is not applicable in your case, since you are not using activity types, then 2.a is the Only option left for you
Hope it is clear....

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.
