Cost center derivation

SAP Gurus,
I have two issues while performing FB50:
1. When I enter the asset related GL account (Gain/Loss account), debit amount and hit enter. Cost center is automatically populated.
2. When I enter the marketing related GL account and the Statistical internal order, marketing cost center is populated automatically in FB50.
Can you please let me know where this cost center could have been configured to the GL account. I checked the derivation rules, substitution rules.
Moderator: Welcome to SDN. Please, try searching SDN first, before posting

Hi
. When I enter the asset related GL account (Gain/Loss account), debit amount and hit enter. Cost center is automatically populated.
Check OKB9
2. When I enter the marketing related GL account and the Statistical internal order, marketing cost center is populated automatically in FB50.
Check KO03.. the statistical IO will have a cost center assigned in it OR Check OKB9

Cost Center derivation from multiple statistical account assignments

Dear all,
I have
a) a statistical internal with actual posted cost center A and
b) a statistical WBS with actual posted cost center B.
When posting with both (a) and (b) the cost center derived is from the statistical order. Is there a way to influence from which object the cost center will be derived.
Kind regards,
Orestis

Hi Orestis,
You can use substitution (OKC9) setting prerequisites as both internal order and WBS are filled and substituing the cost centre by the value from PRPS table.

Derivation of Funds Center from cost center for Asset PR/PO in FM

Hello Experts,
We configured new FM area and relevant BCS settings. It is working fine except PR or PO for Account assignment category A.
Issue: system is not able derive funds center from cost center in the asset master. cost center is not updated in EBKN table for Asset PR.
we have maintained the following;
1. Funds center is activated in Asset account assignments
2. Maintained derivation rule with function module: FMDT_READ_MD_ASSET
3. Derivation rule for cost center to funds center also maintained
If maintain funds center manually in PR it is working fine and consuming budget also.
Requirement: How derive funds center from cost center assigned in asset. I have verified all tickets raised in this forum, but nothing has answered my question.
Request you to provide solution for above issue.
Thanks in advance for support.

Chalapathi

Hi Venkata,
You have two derivation rules, first related to Asset function module and second one is related to CC and FC combination.
You need to maintain the function module derivation rule first then you need to maintain the derivation rule related to combination of CC and FC. Because first you need to derive CC from asset master and then you need to derive fund center with reference to this CC.

CO-PA derivation of Country from Cost center

Hi,
I am trying to derive Country for COPA purposes from business area of Cost center. I have creation a Table-lookup rule for first deriving the business area from Cost center. But this rule has Controlling area, Cost center and Date To field as the key field. I am confused which field to enter in the corresponding field of COPA for Date TO field in CSKS table. Can we derive business are through this method in COPA? When i display the characteristic COPA_KOSTL, Origin table and Origin field is coming as blank. Please clarify these two things.
Regards
Suresh

Hi Waman,
My problem is in case of non project related expenses which we book to Cost center. I can derive country in case of project related expenses from Project itself which has country of project.
Please clarify if you have an option for doing this.

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

Derivation of Responsible Cost Center through WBS in FB60

Hi;
I have came across an issue and need any advice from your side.
Issue is , whenever i go to FB60 to park/post and invoice, in the line item whenever I select WBS it automatically should fill up the COST Center field (Derived From Responsible Cost Center , CJ20N - Project Builder)
I have used FMDERIVE to solve the issue.. but it doesnt work Out.
As in FMDERIVE when i select the field for Responsible Cost Center (PRPS-FKSTL) and in refrence to it the filed available is COST Center (KOSTL)... so simply it doesnt work.
Kindly any good solution to this.
Regards.

Dear;
I have Used BADi : BADI_FM_USE_ASSIGN
It only helped me give error message and in error message it mentioned the exact Cost Ctr Lying in Responsible Cost Ctr Field.
But i will still in search for solution that it should derive the responsible cost ctr value in the Line Item, not in the error message at the bottom of screen.

Fund center derivation based on functional location cost center

Hi,
can anybody share the process to derive fund center based on cost center assigned to functional location/equipment of a plant maintenance order
Thanks

Hi Eli,
Thanks for your response.
Scenario is as follows:
Cost is booked to PM order & settles to cost centers. I don't have budget at PM order level. But will have budget in fund management for cost center. So whenever I book cost to PM order it should check budget available in fund center. Fund center should be derived from cost center assigned to functional location of PM Order
I have not used function module before for derivation. I have created a derivation rule based on functional module but there is no place to assign fund center in derivation rule. Please explain the process to derived fund center through PM order in above scenario.
Thanks

Functional Area derivation as obligatory checkbox in Cost Center distribution cycle?

Dear All,
We are using Cost of Sales accounting with FI-CO online integration. Derivation of Functional Area for Cost Center assessment cycles is an obligatory indicator. Nevertheless I may create Cos Center distribution cycles without this option (what affects FI-CO online integration). Can anybody explain a system logic behind it?
Can I set Functional Area derivation as an obligatory checkbox for Cost Center distribution cycles too?
Bartlomiej Seidel

Hi,
I have searched for any useful note, but without result so far. The point is that any new distribution or assessment cycle (cost centers) in our company must work with Functional Area derivation (than FI-CO online integration works correctly). With our current SAP setup I must select this indicator for every assessment cycle - it is obligatory. But is not obligatory for distribution cycles - and I don't know why?
I would like to protect everybody from crating distribution cycles without FA derivation indicator (like it works now for assessment cycles). How may I do it?

How to derive Cost center from Funds Center

Hi,
i post a GR (Return item) and i have a difference of price, i want to assign this difference (assined to a Gl Account) to a Cost center please how to do that ? i have a Funds Center entered in this GR, can i derive the cost center from this Funds Center ?
Please Help.

Hi,
There is no 'derivation' funcitionality as such available. Thoough, you can build a CO substitution via OKC9 and, based on your fund centre, set the cost centre value.

Deriving cost center from primary cost elements

Hello CO Experts,
For few types of cost, we want to derive a cost centre when we enter a particular GL account in financial posting.
Does anyone know if there is a way to link a primary cost element to more than one cost centre?
The CE master data has only one cost centre field in the default acc assignment tab.
I have two possibilities:
- enhance the master data by additional fields eg. cost center group
- is there some sort of derivation for primary cost element / cost centre?
NOTE: We are not using activity types and are talking only of primary cost elements.
Thanks in advance
Best regards, Deb

Hi,
you could realize it via a substitution OKC9.

Function Area derive from cost center

Hi, here is a question.
The function area was input in the cost center master data. Cost center A ( Function area 1000), Cost center B (Function area 2000)
Then creat a PO with Account Assignment Category(K), Item Category (B), input the cost center A in the PO.
When I do MIRO, I change the cost center (A TO B), but the function is still 1000, not change to 2000. But if I delete the Function area in MIRO first, then change the cost center, the function area update to 2000.
There is no default function area in GL account and cost element, also no substitution.
Is it standard in SAP? I want the Function area can be updated with the cost center. Any method?

Here is what SAP help says about this.
Functional area field for postings - ready for input?
You can enter the functional area directly when entering G/L account postings, provided the "Functional area" field is shown in the field status group of the G/L account.
SAP recommends that you do not show the "Functional area" field in the field status group of the G/L account, but rather that you have the system determine the functional area of the account assignment. This eliminates the risk of the user entering incorrect functional areas.
You said you have functional area in cost center master data. When you post documents, do you get func. area from the cost center automatically or not?
