Cost center restructuring --- effects and impacts on MM

Gurus,
I do have question like this
From a MM and/or Purchasing standpointu2026.what do we need to do(worry about) when all the cost centers are revampedu2026?old POu2019s, purchase requisitions, etcu2026.do we need to close out all old u2018account assignmentsu2019 and redo Pos, etc..
any suggestions .. greatly appreciated
Thanks

You need to reassign the cost center for all the open PO/ open documents.
There might be some impact on the old reports when compared to the new one.
But you should not delete any cost centers. You can block them from further usage.

Cost center restructuring

Hi Experts
Our client is going to change the cost center structure.
What will be the impact in MM-Purchasing other than below and how to handle?
1) Open PO's for old cost center needs to changed to new. *** We can change the cost center
2) POs with GR but no IR. What needs to be done?
Please thro some light on the above requirement.
Thanks /Karthik

If you have maintained the cose center in the material master you gave to chnge the cost center from their itself
Seconly for the old POs for which no GR and IIV has been made you have to change the CC
For those POs whose GR has been made need to reverse those GR and then change the PO and then once again process the GR and then IV.
I wuould suggest as in cost center we use to mainatin the valid from to valid to date so asked your FI guy to give you some time and mean time you just complete the backlog and then they will enter the validity end date in CC. By going so you dont have to reverse the IV for your old cost center

Comparing Cost Center in ME23N and Goods Receipt document

Hi,
I do not have much functional knowledge in MM and I want to clarify following queries.
I have to build a report that displays the Purchase order value and goods receipt value by cost center ( in the same output screen).
In tcode ME23N of ECC, for any Purchase order item , we can display cost center in Account Assignment tab.( Same appears in table EKKN.)
Also, in the purchase order History tab of ME23N, we can check GR ( Goods redeipt ) and IR ( invoice receipt )documents. ( This GR and IR information is stored in table EKBE.)
My first query is :
if a PO item has cost center 'C1' associated with this ( in account assignment tab of ME23N), can it be possible that goods receipt document for that PO item has different cost center than C1.
i.e. is it mandatory that goods receipt ( GR ) document has the same cost center as that of corresponding purchase order item ?
While posting the goods receipt, is it possible to edit the cost center in GR document so that after posting GR, PO item shows cost center C1 but GR document shows cost center C2 for that PO item.
My second query is :
If above scenario is possible, then there must be a table that holds the cost center infomation for a GR document. I would appreciate if anyone can share the table name.
( like we have EKKN for storing cost center of Purchase order item ).
Thanks,
Tarun Brijwani.

Dear Tarun,
Below is the answer to your query:-
My first query is :
if a PO item has cost center 'C1' associated with this ( in account assignment tab of ME23N), can it be possible that goods receipt document for that PO item has different cost center than C1.
Not Possible
i.e. is it mandatory that goods receipt ( GR ) document has the same cost center as that of corresponding purchase order item ?
Yes
While posting the goods receipt, is it possible to edit the cost center in GR document so that after posting GR, PO item shows cost center C1 but GR document shows cost center C2 for that PO item.
No
My second query is :
If above scenario is possible, then there must be a table that holds the cost center infomation for a GR document. I would appreciate if anyone can share the table name.
( like we have EKKN for storing cost center of Purchase order item ).
Not possible to have 2 cost center per line item and the cost center per lin item must be same with the cost center when you do MIGO. As a result of that, there is no table where it can store 2 cost center for each line item. Unless you are creating a service PO line item where it required sharing of cost center for the particular services or even asset.
Thank you
Regards

Cost center plan values and Profit center plan values are not matching

Hi,
When user drill down the costcenter plan costs by partner in production system getting difference between P center values for a perticular functional area.
But this number should match with Cost center and P center functional are values but there under functional are showing lower amunts.
Pls let me know where exactly i have to check because i am fresher for controlling.
Please help me out.

Hi Anil,
If I understand your requirement then you want to plan both in USD and INR at the same time.
Say you maintain rate as 1 USD = 50 INR
Do you want to plan for 100 USD and 480 INR against one combination (Cost Center / Cost Element) and 100 USD and 520 INR against another combination of Cost Center / Cost Element?
SAP allows you to plan for a Cost Center / Cost Element combination only once. And that you can plan in any currency. Either in CO Area Currency or Object Currency (in this example Cost Center Currency) or in Transaction Currency (any other currency that you may choose). And the other currencies gets derived from the Exchange Rate maintained in the system using OB08 tcode. The exchange rate will be derived using the Planning Version "Exchange Rate Type" and "Value Date" (See Fiscal Year settings for Planning Version).
So, if you plan in INR it gets translated to USD and vice versa. For planning in different currencies (only one is allowed) you need to change the planning layout to include the Amount Currency field.
So for a single version say V1 you can plan in INR which gets translated to USD using OB08 exchange tare. Again you can plan in version V2 in USD which will get translated in INR using the same OB08 settings but you need to use a different Exchange Rate Type for V1 & V2.
I am not sure what the business requirements are. If the requirements are only to display different currencies in a report then that can be achieved by creating a Report Painter report.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Issue with Cost center in PO and Work Order

Dear Expert,
I am facing an issue with respect to cost center in Purchase Order and Work Order. The PO is made against a work order. There are two cost center associated with the work order. One is updated under u201CAdditional datau201D field and other is at u201Clocationu201D . So the cost center in PO should essentially be the same one mentioned under u2018locationu2019 field of work order. So the issue here is that while creating PO, the cost center is picked from the u201Cadditional datau201D field of work order not from u2018locationu2019 field of WO.
Is there any exit available that needs to be implemented for overriding the cost center in PO or any other way of solving this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Deba

Hi,
I guess that there is already some user exit or enhancement in place, since this doesn't sound like standard SAP (picking the cost data from additional data, or even having it there).

Cost Center in MIRO and MIGO

Hi All,
1) A PO is created with one line item on cost center 10010.
2) Discount condition of 10% is used in CONDITIONS
3) On doing MIGO, material is charged on 10010 while discount line item is charged on 10020 as defined in OKB9
4) On doing MIRO, both material and discount line is charged on 10010
Is there's something missing in MIRO as discount line should be charged to 10020 rather on 10010?
Looking forward to resolve this issue.
Warm Regards,
Nayab

Hi Raghavendra,
Thanks for your response.
As per the configuration,
I have a PO of Single Item.
In Item Details I have used Cost Element 900102 & Cost Center 10020 in Account Assignment Tab and
Condition of 10% discount is used in Conditions Tab.
When I do MIGO, I get the following entries
Expense Account 900102 agains cost center 10020
Discount Account 900106 against cose center 10055
GR/IR Account 400203
Cost center 10055 is derived as cost element 900106 is assigned this cost center in KA03 as well as OKB9
When I do MIRO, following entries are the result
Vendor Account 55252
Gr/IR Account 400203
Discount Account 900106 against cost center 10020
This cost center should be same as in MIGO due to configuration in Master Data (Txn KS03)
or cost center in MIGO should be same as in MIRO (i.e. derived from the PO)
If I put no cost center in KS03 (master data) or OKB9 against 900106 cost element, it prompts to assign CO to this account while doing MIGO.
Looking foward for assistance in resolving this issue.
Warm Regards,
Nayab

Cost center validity change and assign it to new company code

Hello
We are having 10 Cost centers in 1000 Company code, And validity of these cost centers is .01.01.2001 to 31.12.9999.
Now business want to create one more company code 2000. and wants to extend these same cost centers to 2000 company code also. But as per SAP std Cost center extention is not possible , bcz cost center can use by only one company code.
Now Company is saying that..they wants the same number for new company code from 23.09.2010 to 31.12.9999..
system is not allow me to change validity period of these cost centers, bcz these saying that the cost center is already defined for given period.
Beacuse new company code will start working from 24.09.2010. so i,e the reason , we want to make example "2561 cost center validity 01.01.2001 to 22.09.2010 for company code 1000. then after words 23.09.2010 to 31.12.9999 the same cost center 2561 will for 2000 company code.
but system is not allowing me to change the validity
Regards
Mahesh

Hi Mangesh
What you wish is not possible.. You will have to create new cost center and assign to the new company code...
may be for simplicity sake, you can add a prefix or suffix to the existing cost center no i.e Cost Ctr 2356 can become N2356 in new comp code

Assigning cost center to material and GL

I have two material 100 and 200 and two material X and Y.
I would like to make the setting that when material 100 is used it should go to GL X and Cost center 500 and whe material 200 is used it should go to GL Y and cost center 500.
Substitution is the last thing which I can do.
But have been told to assign cost center in the accoutnig veiw of material master and then make assign gl to Material in type in VKOA or OBYC.
Can anyone let me know how to do this
thanks

Hi Ravana
You can assign profit center in the material master and not cost center.
As far I know there is no standard settings other substitution which would satisfy your requirement.
Even VKOA or OBYC only satisfies upto the GL Account and not the cost center part. You can assign gl accounts to various movements of the said materials.

Report with cost center, Wbs element and cost element

Dear Experts,
I am creating Income Statement report with report painter using table CCSS.
In this report, I need cost centers, cost elements/ GL accounts and WBS elements.
Report is okay except sales. Because my cost elements for revenue are created with the category "11", it is not showing in the report.
Please suggest what changes to make to get sales revenues in the report.
Thanks

Hi Simi
Structure CCSS of Report Painter is combination of several tables including COEP
Even your revenue should have been updated in COEP table...
May be your report's selection conditions are preventing the revenues from being displayed... Can you check that?/
Also, you can build this report from FI Structures

Difference between cost center for material and sale order

Hi,
I'm having an issue related to profit center. Our business of Reverse Logistics Process is taking the wrong profit center which should be taken from sale order master data, not from material master data as currently. As a developer, I'm confused the definition of profit center in this case. What are the differences between the profit center defined in sale order and in material ?
Thanks,
Paulb

Hi Paul
SAP allows you to change the PC in the sales order... If you dont change, it adopts the PC from Mat Master
You can define substitution of PC for sales order in 0KEM and assign them in 0KEL... You can change the PC based on Sales Org, Dist Channel, Division, etc
For a more complex logic, you can also use an exit

Effect and Impact of "Update Condition Price"

Hi,
When creating a returns (with ref to an F2 document), if, we update a pricing at the header, item level, the Program redertmines the pricing as per the rules. For example, when iSelect "Carry out new price" the effect on a sales order/ Invoice will be the following
- Manual Conditions in the F2 document may not be copied
- If a condition record is changed, the new pricing will be as per the new condition record - this is create inconsistence with the F2 document
- Taxes/ Freight will be redetermined (as per the new condition record)
These are few effect that I know should be considered when updating a pricing of a return document (with ref to an F2 Invoice)
I would like to know, are there any more effect that i should be cautious while carrying out new pricing for returns???
If yes, can you be elaborate??
Thanks.

Pretty sure you have to use the JDeveloper from patch 5455514 if you want to go against ATG4.
We migrated from an older version of ATG than version 3 so I can't comment on going from ATG3 to ATG4.

Report Painter Request - Cost Center and WBS Element

Hi Everyone,
Currently, my company settles all project related expenses through to a cost center by way of an internal settlement cost element (category 21). The issue with this is that when the expense gets to the cost center, they lose all visability as to where the expense originated, such as salaries or travel expense (category 1 cost elements). We can't switch the settlements to the originating cost element from wbs to cost center just because of the additional data/volume that will cause. My thought was to create a report painter that can run by cost center but also show the wbs's that settle to that cost center and group the expenses by primary cost element (cat 1). I'm assuming that there is a way to marry a cost center and wbs element by way of the wbs settlement rule but how would that be done for reporting purposes? I've seen it done before by way of a nightly job that created sets based on the combination of cost center and wbs but I'm not sure how that was done. Any advise and examples?
Example:
Cost Center: IT
WBS: A.0017.01.01 (settles to cost center IT)
Postings made:
1. CC IT and CE 552000 "salaries"..............................$20,000
2. WBS A.0017.01.01 and CE 552000 "salaries"........... $5,000
3. Settlement of WBS to CC (expenses flow through to CC IT by way of CE 985000)
I want to run CC IT and see that the account 552000 really shows $25,000 and can be broken down by cost object (CC and WBS by the amounts above)
Thanks,
Pete

Hi Peter,
I had a similar requirement and used report painter report group 1SHK-002 (in library 1VK).
I took a copy of the standard and ameneded it slightly, I switched the explode so it occured on the cost center not cost element.
The report runs so that direct costs on the cost center are shown at primary cost level. And values settled to the cost center are shown on the partner object. In your case i guess WBS Elements (Partner ObjType WBS).
Now in my case I didnt need cost element breakdown on partner level, just on cost center so effectively I have(sorry for text alignment but I hope you get the idea):
GL1   ............. 100
GL2   ............. 250
+ Cost center1 total ....350
GL3 .............   50
GL4 ............. 100
+ Cost center2 total.... 150
Primary Cost Total ..... 500
X-YZ-1.200 .............   50
X-YZ-1.400 ............. 100
+ WBS total ............. 150
IO 1............. 100
IO 2 ............. 100
+IO total ............. 200
Partner Total............. 350
Overall total ............. 850.
Its not exactly like your requirement but it might be a good report for you to work with to get what you need.

Cost center wise comparison between FI view and CO view

Hi,
I have one doubt regarding comparison of cost center in FBL3N and in in S_ALR_87013611.
Is there any report in from which I can compare Cost center wise actual spending in FBL3N versus some reports in CO?
I would appreciate if someone help me on this.
Thanks in advance!
Bhargav
Edited by: BHARGAV RASBIHARI PADHYA on Nov 17, 2010 6:10 AM

Hi Bhargav,
If I am not wrong you are taking about the comparison of cost centres values in Co to Cost centre Values in FI.
If this is the case, then its a pain compiling the values. Because, when values flow from FI to CO then dont come to one cost centre, they are spread accross various cost centres where they are incurred.
For Example : You may debit P&S GL account for 10000, but the cost centres involve this expenditure this can be from different cost cetres like from Finance, Marketing, Retail etc.
Now if you want to compare the cost ccentre values with the FI and COthen you can imagine the work and time involved in it.
Let me know if anyone have any different views on this.
