Cost Center Ending

Hi
I have a cost center that is Valid From 01.01.2006 to 31.12.9999. However, that cost center was extinct. The control dates are all blocked, but the cost center continues valid.
How I could modify this situation?
Thanks!

Cost center empty at month end

dear all,
iw ant toa ask you one fundamental question.
is it require that the cost center should be empty at period end.
i cam across the situation that some production cost center get some cost which cant be go to product.
if i creat one more cost center cost will remain threre i know ican transfer the cots to copa but dont know how to do it
please suggest
Moderator: Please, read basic CO-PA material

HI,
it is usual that cost centers are zero balanced (not empty) at month end.
This can be achieved by settling cost center balances to CO-PA value fields using T-code KEU5 (creation of settlement cycle is done in KEU1).

Cost center Month end

Hi
Can somebody provide me details about the steps for Cost center accounting month end steps..
Thanks

Hi,
There is no over/under absorption entry as such. While displaying the standard SAP reports (e.g. S_ALR_87013611) the system displays the Costs (Debits) then the Recoveries (Credits) and the difference of these two are displayed as "Over/ Under Absorption".
The debits and credits will be generated during the regular transactions and also during the month-end steps listed above.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Cost center field disable for few end users

Hi all,
Can anyone help me in setting the field Cost center in display mode so that the change of cost center can be restricted in Equipment master record. This should be affected only to a few users while others can have the access to change mode. How do i achieve this....
Thanks,
Murad...

Hi,
As this is User based setting, this could be achieved only through User Authorisation.
Even Authorisation group is also editable in Equipment Master, I am not sure how much it will be feasible to achieve your requirement.
Else give Change mode access (IE02) to particular people who are authorised to change any details like Cost Center.
In case of other people, have a word document (like Change Request), so that changes could be tracked.

Cost Center in populating in GR/IR Clearing Account at MIRO Posting

Hi,
I am working in 4.7 EE version. We created one Service Order(purchase order) and gave account assignment as Cost Center and Business area. Then we created service entry sheet wrt to service order and accepted the service enry sheet. System automatically created MIGO document in back end. At the time of posting Invoice Verification wrt service entryshee/service order (purchaseorder), system is populating cost center in GR/IR clearing account.
Give me some idea how the cost center is populating in Balance Sheet GL A/c (GR/IR Clearing A/c).

Hi
As said by Bijay u can Go for Blanket Po also.
Create blanket PO with limit and validity period. (Blanket purchase orders have the item category B and the document type FO. )
U can create PO with or without account assignment and can change as per requirement at the time of Invoice verification so that expence will be booked against required cost center
I think this is a best soln.
Also read info given by SAP about Blanket PO
The processing time for individual purchase orders is not often viable for office materials, screws and small parts, cleaning work or lesser services that are required during the course of the year In such cases, you can use blanket purchase orders to procure various consumable materials or services from a vendor, up to a fixed value limit.
A blanket purchase order contains a validity period and a value limit. This means that you can specify a validity period instead of a delivery date. Invoices can be posted against this blanket purchase order within the validity period. The total invoiced value must not exceed the value limit. A blanket purchase order only contains a short text. It does not contain materials or services. Blanket purchase orders have the item category B and the document type FO.
You cannot enter a goods receipt, enter services, or accept services for blanket purchase orders.
The system does not need to know the account assignments for the individual requirements at the time of the purchase order. You can enter them during invoice verification. If account assignment data has already been maintained in the purchase order, you can change these during invoice verification. When you enter an invoice for a blanket purchase order, you can enter as many account assignments as you require, along with the relevant amounts.

Cost center change

we want to change cost center right now, I'm concerned about the PO and fixed asset with those old cost center, may I know the table for PO, fixed asset assignment?
for the open PO(done goods receipt, but not invoice verification), PO(done both GR and IR) and fixed assets which are already posted acquisition, fixed assets already done depreciation, how can we change the cost center assignment? if changed, any serious impact to the month and year end closing for system(for example, auto-payment can not run, depreciation can not run)?
Thanks

Hi,
In KS02, we can't shorten cost center life, we can only change analysis period, only in OKEON, we can change the validity period.
our business user propose following for accrual posting if cost center change (use new cost center to replace old cost center)
-Cost center need to be deactivated.
-And then accrue need to reclass to new cost center.
-After that block the cost center
but i check the system, we can only change validity period in OKEON.
in KS02, we can block posting by locking primary cost posting.
so my understanding is follows: (1).okeon, (3) KS02. but I 'm not sure the t-code to use for the second step,accrue need to reclass to new cost center, can anyone advise?
also if we change validity period to end this month, after this month, user can't post to that cost center, why we need block cost center(step3), is it redundant?

Co-pa and cost center with different profit centers?

I have a requirement to post (from fb50) to:
1) True posting: A profitability segment with profit center XXX
2) Statistical posting: A cost center assignet to profit center YYY
I enter values in cost center, profit center and Prof.segm., but as soon as I press "Enter" the system overrides the profit center I enter and derive YYY from the cost center.
If I try to change the profit center manually to XXX I get message KI350 (profitability segment being derived again) and the profit center is reset to YYY!
I have played with the field status groups and the message control, but no matter what I do I can't change the behaviour.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately it doesn't help me:-(
Since the cost center posting ends up being statistical it doesn't make sense (at least not to me...) that it takes priority over the manual entry (or one derived in the true posting - the CO-PA assignment).
I have included the profit center in my characteristic group, but it is greyed out.
I have also made a derivation specifically clearing the profit center and another one rederiving it from other CO-PA assignments. It looks fine in the derviation analysis but it doesn't change in the document!
Are there other options? Will a substitution be able to take priority over the statistical assignment?

Where do I define the automatic posting of goods issue to Cost Center?

Dear Experts,
I found out that all the raw material consumed each time I do the confirmation of process order via CORK did not post to Cost Center.
Where do I define the automatic posting to Cost Center for Goods issue for consumption?
regards,
Abraham

Hi,
I found out the default movement type has been predefined to 261 (GI for Order, in which it doesn't post to Cost Center). I guess the standard system has a valid reason to set it as 261 instead of 201 (GI for cost center).
As far as I understand, the Process order will accumulate all the costs (direct cost - material, labour and machine hour and also indirect cost) during the confirmation (material is backflushed and fnished goods is auto-GR). And at the end of the period, this process order will be settled its variance if there is (between the total cost credited - based on standard cost of the finished goods and actual total accumulated costs debited).
So, my question is, by right should there be any CO posting being made to Cost Center for material consumption in the above process flow as I checked in the standard system, the material movement for raw material and finished goods have no Cost Center posting at all?
regards,
Abraham

Cost Center & GL Account search not working.

Hello all,
I am having the following problem while creating a shopping cart, at the Cost Assignment (item level). When I click on the binoculars for searching CC or GL Accounts, i get the following message: "Display not possible (inconsistency in the input help)".
Now, I've researched and tried every possible suggestion:
1. Make sure the requester has permissions BBP_FUNCT/value: BE_F4_HELP, and S_RFC/value:* (SU01), among many others.
2. I have assigned to the requester the respective roles in the organizational structure.
3. Changed the RFC user (from SRM to R/3) from type "communications" to dialog. This user has SAP_ALL in the backend system.
I have run out of ideas of what might be the problem. I've searched through the forums and used all of the ideas mentioned above, but the problem is still there.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

Hi
Which SRM version are you using ?
Please refer to the following SAP OSS Notes.
Note 656633 - Search help requires dialog users
Note 746788 - Back-end system search help for cost center
Note 673390 - Incorrect destination determined for search help
Note 550052 - EBP 4.0: Preparation for back-end input help in EBP
Hope this will help. Do let me know.

Material Ledger,Revaluation Production Cost Center ,Standard Cost

Hi, I have a problem with revaluation of production cost centers.
Firstly, production cost center expenses are settled via activity types onto the production order at the end of the period. However, CKMLCP revaluate cost centers after the settlement because of using standard price. So cost centers at the end of the period have some amount.
As a result we can not find actual price for production orders.
If I use standard cost in order to consume on cost centers, material ledger revaluates again this cost centers. I dont want this condition. Because this cost center is settled to other cost object before closing.
Thanks.

Hi
Go to the following path in SPRO:
Controlling -> Product Cost Controlling -> Actual Costing/Material Ledger -> Actual Costing -> Activate Actual Costing. Double-click on "Actiavte Actual Costing" and change the indicator from "2" to "1".

Cost center & Profit Center set up

Hi,
I am a Chartered Accountant by Profession. I just started my classes to eventually go for certification as FICO Consultant. I have the following question for you. I would appreciate if someone could answer this for me.
THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO ACHIEVE AS AN END RESULT FROM CONTROLLING SET UP.
Basic Premises:
One Company is doing business in computers and has business area's already defined geographically.
Products/ Profit Centers: Desktops & Laptops, Computer hardware like mother boards, RAM, Hard drives etc, Software.
Cost Centers: Production, Ware housing, Selling & Distribution, Gen Admin.
We can set up cost elements to match up with the expenses accts in GL. Say Cost of Production, Salaries, Stationery, Postage, Travel Etc. While setting up the cost elements we will not select a default cost center.
We can set up cost centers for Production, Warehousing, Selling & Distr. and Gen Admin.
We then set up Profit centers for Desktops & Laptops, Computer Hardware, Software.
Now let us go with an example for a flow of an expenditure:
We have incurred a Production cost for desktops 1,000 and Production cost for Computer Hardware 750.00
If we leave the linking of cost centers with the profit centers, at the entry level we can select a cost center Production for both the expense of 1,000 and 750 and then select the profit center Desktop & laptops for 1,000 and Profit Center Computer Hardware for 750. This will solve and settle the issue.
But I have been advised that the cost centers need to be linked to profit centers. The flow will be
1. Cost Element to Cost Center has to be done by the user ( Since we did not define a default cost center at the Cost Element level).
2. From the cost center the expenditure should flow automatically (Since we can link the Cost Center to A Profit Center). This is where I am having a problem in understanding the concept.
For a single cost center we cannot define multiple Profit Centers. In the above example say we link the Cost Center "Production" to Profit Center "Desktop & laptops". What will happen to 750 which actually relates to Profit Center "Computer Hardware". We can have as many Cost Centers as Profit centers to solve the problem, but that defeats the management purpose of wanting to know what is the production cost for all lines. Can we create Production in the second level under Standard Hierarchy and create cost centers for Production (Desktops & Laptops), Production(Computer Hardware) and Production Software, Drag and group them under the Second level Production that we created under standard Hierarchy. I do not know how this will affect the reports that are generated for cost centers. The reports for Profit centers will be fine.

Hi,
Cost center is defined as per requirement, In your scenerio cost center will be department wise like different product dept for example Desktop, hardware accessories, laptops etc.. So, every cost cenet should be assigned to profit center. As per reporting related to cost center and profit center both report has it own advantages like cost center is purely related to cost of the particular department wheras profit center is related to both cost and revenue, it is broad prospective related to profit or loss made for that particular profit center.

Business area is not being specified in cost center master.

Hello Professional friends,
When i specify Business area in existing cost center master data, it appears an error massage - "Field change Business Area is not possible (transaction data already exists)"
I tried to change the validity by analysis Period, when i do this, it appears anothe error " No further processing (contact your system administrator)"
Its user critical requirement that he want to specify business for all new and existing cost center.
there is no problem with new cost center.
Waiting for valuable suggestion.

Hello,
The rule is that if you make any actual or planned date within the current year, you cannot make any changes to any of the organizational units within the cost center master.
From the next year, you can remove / change the business are within the cost center master, provided:
You have to change the validity period of the cost center master by doing:
Go to KS02
Edit ==> Analysis Period
put your cursor on the valid from e.g. 01.01.1900 and click F5 (the line gets selected and become blue)
Click on Other Analysis period and then change the analysis period. The new analysis period must be starting with the first date of the next fiscal year.
Now change or remove the business area.
For this year, surely you cannot change the business area, since there postings.
Do not try to write any ABAP program to change the standard in order avoid the business area change error, it would end up data inconsistencies.
Thanks,
Ravi

Cost center assignment based on material master

Hi Experts:
My client wants cost center assignment to be based on material master, for example, SAP system should be configured in a way that when costs arise due to a product price variance, then SAP should automatically post to the cost center for the specific brand instead of posting to only one default cost center. Is this really possible? In OKB9, I am only able to assign only one cost center to the GL account. Because of this, at the end of each month, the accountant manually allocates the costs from the overhead cost center to the respective cost centers for the brands which incurred this cost.
Is it possible to configure SAP to detect that the cost belongs to product A therefore post this cost to Cost center for product A; or this cost belongs to product B therefore post this cost to cost center for product B?
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mariam.

Hi,
For your scenerio, try Derivative rule of Profit center. If you maintain Derivative rule for Profit center with product which is indirectly assigned to cost center.
For example :
Product A - Profit center1-cost center1
productB- Profit center2- Cost center2
