Cost Center Security Issue

hi gurus
i have a situation in which i have like 60 plus users every one has authorization to different set of Cost centers. now how can i accopmlish that.
secondly suppose they run a report with a Cost Center Hierarchy with lots of cost centers at different levels, some they have access to some they dont, now what will happen ?
- will they be able to see only the cost centers in the hierarchy they have access too.
- or will they not be able to run the report at all because they dont have access to some of the cost centers.
- or they will be able to access soem nodes but no the ones that have atleast one CC that they are not authorized for.
by the way i am working on BI-7, the latest version of BW
thanks

Yu dont have any other better option other than maintaining authorization values for the users for their respective cost centres.
In BI 7, you need to create authorization objects in RSECADMIN and maintain values. There will be heavy maintenance efforts.

  • Activate the FIELD Cost Center while issuing the Material to Order by 261

    Dear All,
    How to activate the FIELD Cost Center while issuing the material againest Order IN MB1A?
    Thanks and regards,
    Satyajit

    Hi all,
    I'm having problems with activating the cost center field too. I've already checked OMBW and OMJJ. For OMJJ, cost center field was required. For OMBW, Cost Center field was Supressed. However, when I checked the Change Logs, no changes were performed since last year. The user who raised this issue had the cost center field activated until December 1, 2008 but now it's deactiavted. So I don't think it's OMBW responsible for this since there was no change since last year.
    Please share your knowledge on this.
    Thanks!

  • Cost Center Security

    HI,
    We have a security requirement on one the G/L plan to actual BEX report for Cost center. the report has cost center hierarchy. but the 3 levels we need security are:
    1) managers that can access all cost centers
    2) managers that can access a range of cost centers
    3) managers that can access one cost center
    we have updated 0COSTCENTER as authorizations relevant, but it works for 1 & 3 from above but not for 2. we have changed the authorization relevant to hierarchy, selection, interval and it seems like the range doesnt work.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    thanks,

    In rsecadmin you added the hierarchy to your object and the analysis authorization is in your role(check transaction PFCG)?
    Maybe you added the hierarchy, but has the user somewhere else full authorization.
    Please let me know.
    Kind regards,

  • Org Unit to Cost center relationship issue

    Hi All,
    When I assign a Cost center to an Org Unit, i dont have any issues and got created. But when I assign the same Cost center to a different Org Unit, it delimits the previous Org relationship and creates the new one.
    I checked the Relationship A011 time constraint and it is 2 which is with gaps.
    This is strange and should not work in this way.
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers

    Thanks a lot guys.. I found the answer...

  • Report pianter report issue (Cost center Heirarcy issue)

    Hi,
    Please consider this issue as an emergency and reply,
    when I execute a report painter report for highest cost center heirarchy, all cost centers are appearing at level 2, (cost center group level) in the report, but when I execute the same report for each sub group of the heirarcy, cost cetner are coming at level 1 (cost center level) in the report.
    where as the same heirarcy is copied to test system and run at highest hierarchy level, to produce the same error, but it is not occuring in test system it is happening only in produciton system.
    can you please advice me which is causing the problem to the report.
    Thanks,
    Ramesh.

    I am sorry, I am correcting the statment above, it is not all cost center that come at cost center group level when I execute the report at highest  heirarchy, only few cost centers of the cost center goups, if I execute the report at scuh sub group level, cost centers come at cost center level. Please advise.
    Thanks

  • Cost Center authorization - issue

    Hi All,
                The Cost Center and Areas (0CO_OM_CCA_USER_1) datasource load is getting failed with error message as ''Error occurred in the data selection ".
    The data selection is Hierarchy name and it is blank; so no issues with that.
    When I run the datasource extractor checker in ECC, It ends with a ABAP dump. The Dump displays "Missing Cost Center", this extractor runs by a FM.
    I am not sure where the issue persist? I feel the issue with the data.
    This daily full load was success till last month, but due to some unknown reasons the load is getting failed everyday. When I check the records in ODS, I could see a record with User as "D_E_L_E_T_E" and the Cost center, Co area and other fields are blank.  I am not sure, whether it is meaningful data or not?
    If it a meaningful data, what does it mean?
    Can anyone let me know, how to dig down and confirm its an issue with the Data?
    Thanks
    Regards
    San

    Okay, I misread the "NE". Sorry.
    Have you done a syntax check on it?
    Also compare to:
    AUTHORITY-CHECK <object>
    ID 'KOSTL' '*'.
    I cannot confess to ever have done a "full" AUTHORITY-CHECK myself, but it is most likely the same as with DUMMY ->  you should not use the FIELD statement as '' value if the data element does not know what a '' is...

  • Cost center Reporting issue

    Hi Experts,
    When I'm taking a report for Cost center accounting under path:
    Accounting-Controlling- Cost centers- Information system- Report selection- Cost center accounting -Plan/Actual comparisons- Additional characteristics- Area: Statistical key figures.
    Data I key in the selection screen of report is: Controlling area, Fiscal year 2011, From period:2- To period: 2.
    When the report was taken in May 2011, the figure against a cost center ACTUAL was 166,000kg.
    But, when I take the report now for May 2011, the figure against this same cost center is showing -3416,600kg.
    The Plan and actual against all other cost centers appears correct for the report taken in May 2011 and currently for the month of May 2011.
    What could be the reson for this? How can I further investigate on this?Should I compare any mpre reports?
    Any ideas appreciated!!
    Thanks

    Hi Surendra,
    The situation is not very clear - would help if you can provide more details.
    One possible reason might be the classification by period you are using in the second report - have you checked the InfoCube data?
    Do a list cube on the underlying data target (since you use data target's' I am assuming it is a MultiProvider) and put in exactly the same selections as you use in the second query and see if it returns proper data.

  • BW Analysis authorization issue on cost center range

    Hello BIW security experts
    I have a problem where I created an analysis authorization on a cost center range and it looks like the interval is not working. The report is just a list of cost centers (demo to users to prove that analysis authorizations work in order to skip 2 managerial cost centers.
    . Cost centers are numeric. Example:  2000100. In the drop down list they appear as such.
    . I want to have the following cost center range: 1000000 to 1000771, 1000773 to 2000771, 2000773 to 9999999.
    Thereofore 1000772  and 2000772 should not appear in the list.
    . In the analysis authorization I have put the 3 ranges above on 3 separate lines. 'BT' is the operator. The cost centers have been selected from the drop down list.
    Results:  I get only 1 record from the report....  2000772. (which is one I want to exclude..
    Steps tried to debug:
    . When I put a list of cost centers in the analysis authorization on separate line with the 'EQ' operator, then the report works.
    . I tried putting ' ' delimiters since cost center is a char field but it fails.
    . I tried adding leading and trailing zeros to fill up the char(10) but no luck.
    . I tried creating a hierarchy with the interval and put it in the hierachy auth. tab and it does not work either. It gives the same number of records than the first step.
    . A hierarchy with single values work.
    I do not know what else to try..
    Thanks.

  • Cost center commitments reconcilation issue

    Hi,
    i have Cost Center Commitments Reconcilation issue.. one cost element values are not updating to BW from R/3 this is the issue we have .. RSA3 showing 0 Amount for that cost element.. i have tried to load upto PSA here also i am getting 0 values.. i have checked in table "COOI" i found the values for that cost element.. and also i have checked in ksb1 it is also showing the values... cost center commitments data source 0CO_OM_CCA_10 has no customer exist... could any one have any idea on this... what may cause the issue.....
    Thanks & Regards
    Sreekanth

    Hi,
    As per below the extractor is working fine. KSB1 displays the Actual Linte items and KSB2 displays the Commitments Line items. So the commitments extractor is working fine if the data matches with KSB2.
    DataSource 0CO_OM_CCA_9 will give you the actual costs and matches with KSB1

  • Restricting issue of goods to cost center with respect to material type

    Dear Users,
    I have a requirement like we want to restrict issue of goods to cost center with respect to material type i.e., we want to issue goods to cost center only through reservation and that too only for specific material types. Is there any standard solution for this, please provide your suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Manoj

    Hi Ajay,
    Thanks for valuable input.
    I also thought in the same line , but user has the following concern on this:
    Assessment Cycle: As per Users, it cannot be used because this will allocate based on allocation basis. But they need, the values that was posted at the time of transaction and as per materials. So it wont be accurate through Assessment cycle,
    OKB9: They have different Cost center for different valuation area for the same GL Account.
    Hence through OKB9 also, we cannot post directly to COPA.
    That's the reason the above option were not adopted.
    My other concern to this is:
    In CKM3, we have two lines under consumption, one for Normal sales PGI and other is Cost Center.
    After doing revaluation of consumption in CKMLCP, we see one line under Cost Center :Revaluation of Consumption Figure"
    My question, where can I see that figure whether in any table or in Cost Center report??
    If that is also available we can try to match those values and post to COPA.
    Let me know your thought on this.
    Thanks and regards

  • Batch not determined in MIGO-Goods Issue for cost center

    Hi,
    We are using Batch Determination while posting Goods Issue to cost center. However, when we enter * in the batch field system does not propose the batches.
    We have done following settngs
    Strategy type ME01 which is SAP standard
    Batch search procedure - ME0001
    Search procedure ME0001 is assigned to movement type 201 in "Allocate IM Search Procedure/Activate Check"
    Sort Rule - 01 using charecterstics (ascending)
    Class - BATCH_MASTER created
    Characterstics - Size, Shape, Color (No table or field are maintained in Addional Data) assigned to this class.
    Material is maintained with classification and batch management active.
    Master Data - Search Strategy is maintained using t code MBC1 for stratefy type ME01 (Key combination Movement Type/Plant/Material). Selection criteria - Values maintained for characterstics. Sort Rule - 01
    Now when we are issuing goods to cost center and enter * in batch field, system is supposed to suggest the batches (material is in stock and batches are available). However, system does not give pop up.
    Am I missing something? Where is the batch determination button as system is giving message to use button?
    Shekhar

    Thank you for the answer.
    It gives only one batch and not all the batches. Why it could be?

  • Cost Center restriction while goods issue

    Hello Gurus,
    While posting the goods  issue, we need to enter the cost center in the account assignment tab.
    for that Cost Center, user should be enter his cost center which is allocated to him. system should give error if he enter worng cost center.
    How can i achieve this requirement?
    Thanks in advance,
    Laxmi.

    Hi,
    It is not really as easy as it sounds, especially if you want to have the default depend on the movement type etc.
    If the user always uses the same cost centre then try the parameter ID in the user master (doesn't always work). I have just tried this and the program doesn't appear to use the KOS parameter so this does not help.
    If the default cost centre is the same for everyone for the GL account then within FICO there is a transaction to have a default cost centre for each GL / Element.

  • 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

  • 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
