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

F-92 posting error- Cost centre locked for revenue posting

Hello,
While I am trying to post F-92 (Asset Retirment), I get the following error:
"Cost center AR011001 in controlling area 1000 is locked for revenue postings on 25.11.2009."
How do I go ahead?
Thanks,

Hi Eli,
Thanks for the quick response.
I am aware I can remove the lock indicator in the cost centre master data. We had earlier uploaded cost centre master data through LSMW .
My question is once the lock is removed , we will be able to go ahead and post to the cost centre .The Gl account used here is CLEARING REVENUE ACCOUNT FIXED ASSET and when we assign the cost centre with lock indicator we get the message
"Cost center AR011001 in controlling area 1000 is locked for revenue postings on 25.11.2009"
Would like to know the impact (apart from effect on reporting) once the lock indicator is removed.
Thanks,

Derivation Of partner profit center in COPA (Direct Posting from FI)

When posting from SD partner profit center is derived and transfered to COPA, so eliminations can take place.
When ever we made posting from SD, Partner profit center is coming from derivation rule which is exclusively for sales and maintained in transaction code 8KER.But whenever we made direct posting in FI, Data is transferred to COPA before profit center is derived as system does not find any data from COPA or in other words there is no any Derivation rule or table lookup or user exists in COPA from where we can derive the Partner profit center.
For testing purpose I made a derivation rule in COPA in KEDR with the same logic used in 8KER, Partner profit center is coming in COPA from this derivation rule. Derivation logic used in 8KER is very simple : source filed is KUNNR from table KNA1 and target Field is Partner Profit Center : PPRCTR from table CEPC.
I mean that i derive the partner profit center from customer number in 8KER transaction which is only for SALES and in EC-PCA only.
Now whenever I do a direct posting from FI, suppose using transaction code F-02
but partner profit center is not coming. I made a another derivation rule in KEDR in COPA and maintained the rule values there and I got the success for deriving the partner profit center.
But my query is that If I am maintaing rule values in 8KER then why I maintain the same duplicate data in KEDR.Can we use the same rule values from 8KER for direct posting of FI.
I have tried with Table lookup, derivation rule in KEDR but not getting any success.
Please tell me that without maintaing rule values in KEDR (as these are already maintain in 8KER)how I can derive the partner profit center from FI posting.Or in other words i can say that how we can get both PCA as well as COPA document with partner profit center in case of FI direct posting.
Thanks in advance.
With best Regards

Hi Kiran,
The error message clearly says that "Cost Center validity starts from 01.10.2014" i.e. in the future period.
Change the cost center from period in the past date and try.

Cost center missing for pers. no

Hi,
While prosting exps in TC: TRIP, we are getting the error "Cost center missing for pers. no". After analyzation the issue we came to know that there is no relationship with org. assignment. We went to TC: PO13>give position>select relationship-->click on create infotype. Here we have given relationship A 011and click on save and again save. Now, we went to TC: PA20/30 cost center is appearing correctly.
We have couple of pers nos. Instead of doing manuallthis we are doing executing program RHINTE30 in TC: SE38. But it is not updating cost center in TC: PA20/30. How should i achieve this issue? Pls advice....

you are correct RHINTE30 report will update Cost Center in IT 0001 from OM. Before that you have to upload CC to position through T.code P013 using either LSMW / BDC.
For updating CC in IT 0001 process is below.
First Create Cost center to position using P013 t.code and relation ship A 011.
Excutre report RHINTE30 using T.code SE38.
After that there will be one batch input session created in SM35.
Finally Select your batch input session and Excute through SM35
Then CC will be updated in IT 0001.
If there are no much employees you can manull create CC directly in P013 and CC will directly upte in IT 0001.

Cost center effect to budget posting- urgent-please help

Dear expert,
What is the effect in create new cost center to actual /budget posting in SAP?
Please somebody clear me about this issue
Thank you.

Hi
1. In Transaction code KPZ2
With reference to Controlling area and cost centre or cost centre group the perid wise budget can be define for each cost centre ( By select of periodic overview screen)
Note : The availability check is not available with this cost centre budget ( i.e. if the actual amount exceeds than budgeted amount it allowes to do the further transaction.)
Report S_ALR_87013648 -
Range:Actual/Budget/Commitments
will give the information of budget and actual amount.
2. Also in trasaction code KP06 it is possible to define cost centre and cost element plan amount without availability check.
Report S_ALR_87013611 - Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance with give the information of Plan vs actual and variance
If the above answer is helpful kindly assign points
Thanks & Regards

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....

Cost center receiving the real posting even WBS Element are present

Dear All
As per standard SAP documentation, when both cost center and WBS elements are present in the same accounting document, WBS element will take real posting and cost center will take statistical posting.
But in the MIRO document cost center took the real posting even the WBS element is present in the line item of the accounting document.
Regards
Partha Pratim Bhar

Hi
If the WBS element is not statistical, then the real posting should be to the WBS element. However, if you see, when the WBS element becomes a statistical,(when the check mark is added in the control tab) the field cost center becomes active and needs to be input.
In your case since you are deriving the cost center through a substitution rule. Normally if you rules of priority during a document posting, the substitution and validation rules takes a higher priority. So apparently the cost center will get the real posting!! Since the real posting is already made to the cost center, the entry to the WBS element would become a statistical one...
Thats the reason why the situation changes when you deactivate the substitution rule. I am not sure about the entry in the WBS element...My guess is that you would not be able to settle the costs in the WBS Elements.
Hope this clarifies.

How to get cost center ranges for a given company and division...

Hello Experts,
Is there a table, BAPI or FM that can get the company or division of a given cost center?
Currently I am creating cost center ranges in my program but that is not the best way to do it
since they can always add or delete cost centers. Just like in transaction OKEON wherein you
can see the cost center ranges for a given company or division.
Hope you can help me guys. Thank you and take care!

Hi Viray,
You can try BAPI 'BAPI_COSTCENTER_GETDETAIL1'.
You need to pass controlling area and cost center detail to this BAPI.
It will return the cost center detail in return.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,
Arun

You can reverse the transaction in FB08. Then post afresh in FI using F-02 with proper GL/CC. OR If you would like to do the adjustment only in Co then you can repost using T code KB11N.

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.
