Cost Center Object

Dear Experts
What is the Object of Cost Center ,
Or how we can put the restriction to use Particular Cost Center By User ID.
Rgds
Pankaj Agarwal

Hello,
The following information may be useful.
Please let me know the PURPOSE for which you want to restrict the cost center for a particular user ID. I do not see any point in restricting lik this.
In simple words, profit center is to collect your revenues as well as costs. It will try to increase the revenues and controls the costs with the help of responsible person.
Whereas, cost center collects the costs. It will try to control the costs with the help of responsible person. Cost centers are not meant for revenues.
Cost center is a real object.
Profit Center is a statistical Object. Statistical object means only for information purpose. Like a shadow posting.
Make sure your have assigned profit center is being assigned in cost center master. Otherwise, to control, use OBA5 transaction code make KS 095 message as mandatory. You can also check the profit center monitor in 1KE4.
If you give cost center at the time of posting, then real postings will go to cost center and statistical posting will go to profit center (which is assigned in cost center master)
If you give cost center and Internal Order (real), then real postings will go to internal order and statistical postings will go to cost center and profit center (which is assigned in internal order master). The cost center will become statistical or real based on the other real object given.
If you give cost center and internal order (statistical) then real postings will go to cost center and statistical postings will go to internal order (statistical) and profit center (which is assigned to cost center).
Hope you are clear.
Please let me know if you need any information.

Ravi

Cost center object number incorrect

Hi All,
During migration, cost centers were created with incorrect object number in master data table (the controlling area was incorrect in the object number).
Due to this, the transactional data in CO were updated with the incorrect object number in tables like COEP & COSP.
Thus, line items reports like KSB1 do not show any vaue against the cost center.
We have corrected the master data. Any pointers towards correcting the already posted transactional data would be appreciated.
Regards,
Nisha

you must contact SAP with an oss-message:
I think you cannot correct tables cosp etc. of your own, because you don't know all dependencies.
the source code would be like this:
1) selection of incorrect data:
concatenate 'KS' false_kokrs '%' into key.
select *from (table) into table itab
where objnr like key.
2) correct data and insert through another internal table itab1.
3) delete data from dbtab through itab (1).

Cost Center Authorization

Dear Friends / Experts
We have around 10 HR (BW/BO) reports. All are woking fine. Now the users wants to restrict the report based on cost center.
Hence, I have created one DSO with relevent information and extracted the data from ECC ( Used id, Cost Center belonging, Etc....). Created one customer exit variable and lookedup this used cost center data in CMOD. This is perfectly working.
My Doubts
1) This logic no where related with authorization. Do i still need to consider authorization object and handle further ?
2) If the Logged in user not available in the DSO, i am not able to edit the query in BO-Webi .
Can anybody advise ?. Good advise awarded with points.
Regards
Saravanan Raju

1) This logic no where related with authorization. Do i still need to consider authorization object and handle further ?
The concept of authorization is only similar, instead of a DSO, you use a Z*COST time-dependent authorization-relavent IObject & start to set the time-intervals for access. I assume the DSO concept, although is a quick fix is not a long term solution, as there needs to be loads, corrections at irregular time intervals & this needs to reflect on the BEx. This holds okay for lesser # of users, but you might never estimate the size, as the business would consider adding more in months to come. As rightly said, you need not have an authoriztion object to handle, but if you make cost center object's customer exit to refer this using a SSO-details (like sy-uname), this will restrict entries & authorization based on this field in your BEx. But still you need to work on the DSO concept & try to migrate towards a authroization-releavant IOBject for good sakes, as there is a possiblity the data is exposed -or- completely not avalialbe even for testing & you need to add the same set of ccenters repeatedly for all users again & again, month-on-month, issues like that.
2) If the Logged in user not available in the DSO, i am not able to edit the query in BO-Webi .
Yes, as stated above, this is the drawbacks in this model. Hope it helps.

Cost Center Infoobject in Custom development

Hi all
I need to use the infoobject 0costcenter in one of my custom ODS/CUbe developments .
However , when i add the infoobject 0costcenter to my infosource , the compounded object'
'chart of accounts' also gets added . I am not sure if i this will serve any purpose as this information is not available
in the custom r3 tables i am using as data source . how do i map these fields and what is their significance ?
Is it a better idea to use a Z-cost center object instead ? what will be the repurcussions of the same ?

there are diff way you can deal with this:
make CO AREA a constant in ur transfer rules.
Dont map any corresponding field to co area in the transfer rules(u can live with it)
(the only issue would be, if you are using a hierarchy that already exists on costcenter all the values would fall under unassigned nodes, as there would be no corresponding controlling area in the cube.)
Is it a better idea to use a Z-cost center object instead ? what will be the repurcussions of the same ?
if the values(masterdata) of the Zcostcenter are the same as 0costcenter why do you want to use a zobject and load the masterdata again. if you are gonna use one controlling area, you can as well hardcode it and be just fine

Control user access to FBL3N by cost center

Hi Expert,
Need your advice.
Our user wish to control the staffs access to FBL3N by cost center.
This is due to the FBL3N contains salaries posting for different department.
However the FBL3N GL listing report also contain documents without cost center.
Any ideas how can we perform the control ? If the FBL3N can amend with include cost center as checking, for the rest of GL without cost center, is it accessible by all users ?
thanks.
rgds,
tee

Hi Experts,
Sorry for misleading. Initiate the request was to retrict the access with cost center object, since it is not possible. So we will advice the user to restrict the GL access.
Just need to confirm, can we modify the FBL3N object F_BKFP_BES : Account authorization for G/L accounts from Check to Check/Maintain ? So that we can assign certain GL only accessible by normal users.
And any impact on this once the changes is make ?
thanks.

Account-based COPA and having Cost Center as Real Object in Sales Order

Hi,
We have recently activated account-based COPA and in our SO, we realized the Profitability Segment being populated- that is not a problem in normal scenarios.
However, in some cases, we would like to charge to a cost center instead of COPA. We have tried the 2 ways mentioned in the forum/on the web to include Cost Center in Sales Order:
1. Go to OVF3 t-code and configure a default cost center for the order reason
2. Change the SD Document Category under 'Define Sales Document Types' to 'I- Order w/o charge'.
However both ways only open the Cost center field but still populates the COPA. At accounting entries, cost center will become a statistical object and COPA, the real object- which is not what we want.
Is there a way to stop the auto-populating of Profitabiltiy Segment in SO when cost center is being entered?
Thanks very much in advance for any suggestions.
Regards,
Huimin

Solved by myself, with help of OSS Note: 44381 - Profitability Segment Not Required in SD Postings. Have a CO substitution rule to clear away the Profitability Segment number based on certain conditions. Thanks!

Cost Center Report in Object Currency

Hi there,
Any idea if it is possible to display the SAP standard Cost Center Reports in object currency instead of controlling area currency.
Thank you.

Hi there,
Thanks for the reply. What about the SAP Standard report, i.e., S_ALR_87013611 - Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance ?
How can we have the object currency displayed?
Pls advise.
Thank you.

How are non-cost center Controlling objects best modeled in PCM?

I appreciate that ALG developed Profitability and Cost Management, and they apparently were unaware of
or did not consider that SAP ERP uses more than a single controlling object of a cost center; specifically
internal order, WBS element, real estate object, etc.
My question is how are these other controlling objects best treated in PCM?
For example,
I have a planned trade show internal order to showcase my companies products
in Berlin to European retailers. I have planned travel costs, display costs,
space rental costs on this internal order.
Normally, I would settle this internal order to CO-PA to determine the planned
profitability of my Europen retail customers. Unless I make this order a faux cost center,
I don't see how to model it in PCM.
If I exclude this order, then the profitability resulting in PCM is suspect --
leaving out a major chunk of customer specific marketing expense.
Or is the process to settle the planned internal order cost to CO-PA, but
transfer the planned costs from PCM back into CO-PA, which would have the
benefit of being mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive.
Jeff Holdeman hinted at the restrictions imposed by planning in ECC. Yet
without a more comprehensive approach, I am concerned that PCM still
does not represent a complete profitability planning solution.

Hi Deepak.
You can verify is the cost center was posted on document running tcode SE16N on the FALGFLEXA table, put the document number to do research.
After you can trying to post the new document through Tcode FB50L choosing or not a legder specific, then verify the document was posted correctly running the Tcodes SKb1 or Se16N with FAGLFLEXA table again.
Also you can check this link Checking the Allocation of General Ledgers to Cost Centres

Revenue Posting to Cost Center & Pforfitibility Segment (Object Numbers)

Dear All,
I have tested a scnario, i.e., Can we post Revenue to the Cost Center?
1st Case:- I tried to post Revenue to Cost Center & it was done. The Cost Center was updated Stastical Posting. ( Here i had entered Cost Center Manually, no other object was entered except Cost Cneter)
2nd Case :- I have done the same way but i have entered PSG manually.
But here my doubt is : in COEP Table both documents were updated Object Number AOXXXXXXXXXX10610. Which is Recon Object Type. In 2nd case i have entered PSG but in 1st case i have entered only one Cost Center but how the system was updated the CO Object Number AOXXXXXXXXXX10610
Regards

Hi,
As per note 41103 under point 6, revenues posted to cost centers will only be statistical. The category types 11 and 12 are revenue based cost elements.
As cost centers can carry revenues statistically only, the system has to create a reconciliation object automatically. It is just a generated object (containing charactersistics like company code, plant, business area, profit center,...) and this object is necessary to create as the real posting must be made. Otherwise, CO and FI would get out of sync.
If only costing based COPA is active reconciliation object ("REO") is posted to if there is no real account assignment for the revenues (no CO-PA object/no revenue order or any other object which can carry revenues->please see note 106968).
Thanks & Regards

Messg-AAPO189 :Account object Cost Center differs from that in asset master

At the time of Asset Acquisition in T-Code F-90 using Internal order, the system throws the following error:

Acc.assignment object replaced by current master cost center for employee

Hi,
I am facing a peculiar warning message while running the payroll posting run for only 2 employees. The warning message s as follows:
"Acc.assignment object replaced by current master cost center for employee
Message no. 3G399"
Prior to this, there were an error saying the
"Account assignment objects are incorrect. No substitution is possible.
Message no. 3G209"
Later we found that the Position was not assigned to that employee properly. I later assigned the correct position.. but still during the posting run the warning message appears.
Please let me know if this is okay or is this an error which restricts the postings.
Regards,
Balaji TR

Your postings will go through with the first warning message. However, please be warned that any account assignment related entries (IT 0027, 2001, 2002) will be wholly ignored.
Check if any entries have been made to different cost centers for the erroring employees. If so, check for the reason why those entries have been made (since it is evident that the configuration does not support such entries). You may need to tie in with a CO consultant to ensure that there are no loose ends.

Why Cost center is an External Object type?

Hello SAP Minds,
How does Costcenter and Person are classified as External Object types..?
What is the difference between External Object types and Internal Object types. I mean wht is the basic difference between them?
As i know Internal Object types are Org. Unit, Postion and Job,.
As Costcenter and Person are also part of Personal Planning why it became as External objetct types..
Experts please guide me.

Hi Vamsi,
While in personnel administration the person represents merely a type
of information object, in organizational management different object
types are processed. These are, for instance:
Organizational unit
Position
Job
Task
In addition external object types are also addressed. These represent
objects that do not belong to organizational management and are not
saved in its object structure, but that are quite important for organizational
management. These are, in particular:
Person from personnel administration
Applicants from recruiting
Cost center from cost accounting.

Authorization Object for Cost center

Hi Experts;
We are using SRM 7, classic scenario.
We are copying SRM tcode: BBP_BW_SC4 to a Z report and modify it. The users will be given the access to display the status of thier SC.
How can I restrict the user from displaying the SC of other department's? Is there an authorization object for cost center in SRM? is there any other away to restrict the users from displaying SC related to other depts.
Appreciate your help

by the way, why are you not using the standard SAP powl queries? they anyways restrict you from viewing others SCs except your team
any ways, if you are copying that report this BBP_BW_SC4, then change this
PARAMETERS pa_coce TYPE kostl OBLIGATORY DEFAULT lv_costcenter.
to
PARAMETERS pa_coce TYPE kostl OBLIGATORY DEFAULT lv_costcenter no-display.
