Cost center locked but SAP allows for PO creation

Dear All,
We have a requirement such that whenever a cost center is locked, system should not allow users to create PRs / POs for locked cost center. I tried it through authorization control, but in MM there is no object for cost center.
Could experts tell me the way in which this control can be acheived.

Please try out with some enhancement and let us know if your requirement can be met or not.
I think the appropriate Exit would be MM06E005\MM06E007. Please reach out to a ABAPer
and put a simple logic in the code which would prevent the creation of PO when the COST CENTER are locked.
If the above suggestion is not working then you can put up the logic when the PO are on the
verged of being released after creation. In this way the PO belonging to locked Cost Center will not be released at all.

Substitution written under cost center accounting is not working for tcode MB1B but working for MIGO_GI

Hi All
Do you know why this behaviour different for subtitution written under cost center accounting.
We have written substitution using coding block table. Logic of substitution is in case of any GL maintained in a set is being used for posting , then we will replace the cost center with profit center vlaue. Reason being we have same naming convention for Cost center and Profit center.
Thanks
Sonia

Hi,
MB1B is t-code for stock transfer posting.
Stock transfer posting generate FI document using balance sheet account, not P&L account.
Because you don’t create cost elements using balance sheet accounts related to stock, I think that Substitution written under cost center accounting is not working for tcode MB1B is right.

How to make the cost center or WBS field optional for Vendor/customer line?

Dear experts:
Does anyone has the experience of releasing WBS or cost center fields to be optional for the customer or vendor line item?
I've tested in system, neither the field status control in GL account master data nor the FSG in posting key worked, I can't let the WBS field to display in the screen and ready for input.
So my conclusion is that the FSG control in not completely effective for customer/vendor line, it there any other method to let WBS to be optional in custer/vendor line items?
Our purpose for changing that is that we're using joint venture accounting, we need to let users to input a cost object for system to derive joint venture information. please do not suggest deriving JV information using other methods, because we're dealing with a special case, i.g. in a cross-company document, only a customer/vendor line in our company, so it's impossible to split JV information from offset lines, anyway, please help me out directly with my issue.

Hi, Lu:
If I understand your question correctly, you want to modify the FSG of recociliation account of Vendor/Customer to make sure Cost Center/WBS field display in transaction F-22/F-43 for example, right?
I am not sure whether it is possible, I also tried in ECC6.0 but failed to show these two fields. And I think that doesn't make sense to assign CO object to AP/AR reconciliation account, but assign it to Revenue/Expense account in following line items.
And You can use New General Ledger functionality Document Splitting to derive corresponding CO object information to Reconciliation Account line item, but it is enabled only in General Ledger level, not in subledger level.
If you find any other meaningful solution, please also share with us.
Thanks & BR, Lawrence

Deleted vendor still allow for PO creation

Hi Expert,
I have 1 vendor has been set for deletion but system will allow for PO creation without any error/warning message prompt.
Why is this happen and what is the purpose for deletion?
Thank you.

Hi Sasy,
First thing to note is that ,while creating a PO in standard SAP,the System always checks the Purchasing data.
But again this also check the Link of the Purchase Org and the company code at the Enterprise level.
So if a Purchase Org id linked to C1 and C2.
Know if your Processing a Vendor created only in C2 for the Purching in C1 ,then yes system will allow you to create a Purchase order.
But you cannot book the invoice unless untill you will extend the vendor to the company code C1.
So in total .
The Purchasing data will Verify the Purchase Org data and the Payment.invocing will verify the comapny code data.
Know as you create the vendor in Purchase and the comapny code.
if you delete or block at company code means you are noty authorizing hin for any Financial transactions from that day.
if you blocking at Purchasing level ,means you are Blocking all purchasing activities.
Hope so i am clear. and you got your answer.
if any issues let me know

Cost Center Locking for Direct Posting

Hi all,
I am getting an error reading something like this:
"cost center is locked for primary posting.".
Can any tell me how do I address issue? Is changing the cost center in the control tab of change cost center node in img guide the only way? If i do that, do I need to explicity activate it? And most importantly, which of the 6 check boxes prevents(if at all) from being directly posted.
Thanks,
Vivek
PS: Good and fast replies shall be rewarded

Hi Vivek,
Execute Transaction code KS02, input the affected cost centre to change the master data. Click on the "Control" tab and uncheck the box "Actual primary costs". Save your changes. With this amendment, you would no longer have the error message during posting.
Normally, if the check box is checked, this is what would happened.
Lock Indicator for Actual Primary Postings
Indicator defining whether a cost center is locked for posting with direct costs.
If the indicator is checked/active, no primary costs can be posted to the cost center. You may, however, still use the cost center for evaluations such as summarization, etc.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.
Regards,
Jacob

Create Cost Center relationship usin SAP-PD

Hi all,
SAP_PD is allowing to deal only with O, S and C object. How we can create new relationship to Cost Center (K) using SAP_PD.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Oleg
Edited by: Oleg Sokolov on May 26, 2010 2:26 PM

You can 'start' an SAP_PD service with an Position, Job, or Org Unit. But you can update ANY relationship to that object (even cost center). Play around with it a bit and I'm sure you'll stumble up on the solution.

Vendor No# is not in Company Code, but SAP allow to create PO ?

Hi All,
In the Purchasing Order (PO) header, we create Purchasing Org, Purchasing Group and Company Code "A" .
However, users input incorrect Company Code "B" in the PO and the vendor do not exist in Company Code "B" . PO created is successfully, but error out when user input invoice against the PO.
Anybody know how to prevent user input incorrect company code in PO when vendor do not exist in the company ?
Thank you
Alex

from FAQ note 491789
Why can I still change the company code at header level of the purchase order although follow-on documents (goods receipt, invoice receipt ...) already exist?
Answer:
In the purchase order there is a company code at header level (field EKKO-BUKRS) and a company code at item level (field EKPO-BUKRS). The company code at item level is relevant for the update of the FI and CO documents. This company code is always derived from the plant and therefore you can no longer change it.
What significance does the company code have at header level of the purchase order?
Answer:
The local currency and the corresponding conversion factors are determined from the company code on header level, as well as the VAT registration number (VAT reg.no.).
for PO creation the vendor does not need to have the company code data views maintained. This speeds up the process, you can already order while Accounting has not finished the data maintenance. CC data is first time needed when you like to process goods receipt and invoice receipt.

Restricted WBS during PO Creation : Department wise WBS to be allowed for PO Creation

Dear SAP PS Members
as per the SAP Standard anyone can choose the account assignment checked WBS for PR/PO Creation, however we are facing issues with this as end user may choose other department WBS out of understanding.which leads to reporting inconsistencies showing wrong picture of cost and assigned values.
is there any way by which we can allow each department to use only their department WBS for Procurement (materials and services).
that means SAP system shall control and avoid any transaction or postings on non relevant WBS's for the respective Department. ( other Dept. WBS)
please provide the ideas or workable logic !
Many Thanks
Avinash Shelke

How you are specifying that XXX-XX-X WBS is relevant to ABC department and so on? Are you using any custom field like 'Owner code' etc. to specify it?
Through std. customizing its not possible but through development it can be done as follows:
If you are maintaining department/owner code field n project structure for wbs then use this department-WBS field combination to validate it during PO, you need to maintain 'Department' field as a mandatory field in PO master (check whether it's custom field or std. in PO,i think it would be a custom one).
Once department field appears in PO that validate it from 'department-WBS' combination of project structure (use these fields from table PRPS) and pop-up warning/error message accordingly. You would require stand. user-exit for it in PO search for it in MM forum.
And if, you are not maintaining department/owner code field in WBS master then maintain it in a separate table (WBS->department) and validate in the same way as explained above.
Thanks.

GL account and cost center field appearing for Goods issue movt type 201

Hi SAP Gurus
We are trying to post goods issue in ecc6 . The problem is that the GL Account and cost center fields are available fields .The cost center field is logical but why the GL account field is avaiable .
How we can grey out the same field as it is going to be picked up from the valuation class setting in GBB - VBR ? Any ideas
Regards
Hitesh

Hi Ravi
You think that its ok we have to input the cost center .
But if you allow the users to input the GL then you are overriding the whole purpose of defining the valuation class and offsetting entries ? What is your opinion ?When you input the material in the goods issue screen the offsetting entry needs to be picked from the GBB -VBR .Although even if you do not enter the GL the system posts the Godds issue document .But from the control perspective this needs to be suppressed .
What do you think ?
I have also posted the same in Logistics forum .
Once again many thanks for your help .In case you find some solution this would be of great help
Regards

KO88 - Error when settling for Cost Center AND Auc for the same Internal Or

Hi Experts,
We need to configure Investment Internal Orders that could settle to both Cost Center and Auc, but each assignments with different Source Cost Elements
We did the following:
1. Created Auc Class
2. Created Investment Profile "IMOBIL" and assigned to Auc Class, flagging Auc
3. Created Allocation Structure "CV" with two assignments:
01, Source = Cost elements 7000000000 to 7999999999, receiver AUC "by cost element"
02 Source = Cost elements 4000000000 to 4999999999, receiver CTR "by cost element"
4. Created Model Order, filling the Investment Profile IMOBIL created in step 2.
5 Created Settlement Profile ZCV0001, assigning Allocation Strucutre CV, allowing CTR and AUC for receivers, default receiver is "FXA", doc type "AA".
6 Created ORder Type CV01, assigning Settlement Profile ZCV0001.
When I post only for Asset Expenses (Source Cost element 7, Assigment 01), the settlement through KO88 correctly settles to AUC, and also creates the settlement rule for cost center (i'm using the strategy to create from Responsible Cost Center).
But when I post for Asset Expenses (cost elements 7, receiver AUC) AND General Expenses (Source Cost element 4, receiver CTR), KO88 generates an error KD506, saying that for Assigment 02 - AUC I didnt define a settlement cost element.
1. Assignment 02 is not AUC, is CTR;
2. I flagged "by cost element", so I don't need a settlement cost element. And also, I was able to post to AUC when the source posting was only for cost element 7.
Did you face any problem like this?
I cannot find out what is the missing configuration, or if it is a program error...
Kind Regards
Mayumi Blak

Hi Ajay
I already created Source Structure and assigned to my Setllement profile (so I assigned Allocation Structure AND Source Structure).
I don't understand when you say that I need to assign the Source Sutrcture in each rule....because the Source structure is in the Settlement Parameters valid for both rules...
When I post to Asset Expenses only for the internal Order, the 2 rules (CTR and AUC) are created when I run KO88 (but only AUC rule is settled). This is OK.
The problem is when I post for both General Expenses AND Asset Expenses, the system is not recognizing that I have 2 source structures, neither is findind that for CTR AND AUC the Settlement cost elements are the original cost elements.
I'm thinking about changing message KD506 to warning, do you know if this can help?
Kind Regards
Mayumi Blak
