Cost center set-up

Hello,
Can anyone let me know if there is any field in the cost center master data to populte the legacy cost center number.
Aslo , kindly let me know how do we decide the funcational areas to be assigned to cost centers and what kind of reporting does func area provide.
please let me know.
Thanks

There is no specific field to record the legacy cost center in the cost center master data. Said that, one can, however, add additional fields to cost center master data, if it is absolutely critical in the long run.
To do this, use enhancement COOMKS01 Cost centers: User-defined additional fields in master data record. You can maintain the additional fields on a tab page in the relevant individual processing of the master data. You can use these additional fields to select master data in selection variants for deletion or for list display
You create additional fields in Customizing (IMG) for Cost Center Accounting. Choose Master Data > Cost Centers > Program Enhancements for Cost Center Master Data .
For more information on enhancement COOMKS01 see the documentation for the enhancement. You can display this documentation when using the enhancement transaction CMOD by choosing Display SAP doc.
You may, also want to consider any existing fields to be renamed via CMOD as legacy cost center. These fields could be probably used in evaluation for reporting purpose.
Functional area are used to classify operating expenses according to functions (for e.g)
·         Production
·         Admin.
·         Sales
·         R&D
Functional area is used in Cost of Sales accounting!

Cost center and movement type 551

Hi all!
Can the cost center be determined automaticaly when creating this movement type 551?
Regards

Hi Eduardo,
first of all the field status of the MM movement type (trx. OMJJ) has to allow cost center (set to repuired or optional). Afterwards you can use the CO substitution to determine the cost center.

Set Clearing Account to Cost Center or Cost of Sales

Dear Expert:
I have issues for two different spareparts material number (e.g. material number "A" & "B") that posted to Interim GL Account "C" which clear to two different receiver:
a) Clear to Cost Centre
b) Clear to Profit Segmet/material Number
E.g.
1. Material number "A" - when there is stock access from the cycle count, the amount will be posted to Interim GL "C". Once this GL 'C" is cleared the amount will be posted to one Cost Centre "D".
2. Material Number "B" - when there is stock access from the cycle count, the amount will be posted to Interim GL "C". Once this Interim GL "C" is cleared the amount will be posted to material "B" under profit segment and appear in the Profitability Analysis Report.
Appreciate your advice how to check the setting why these 2 materials ("A" & "B") go to different clearing receiver.
Thanks
Zahari

Receiver type depends on purpose of the object, for eg, you have an internal order to capture some costs, which you want to anlayse at cost center level upon order closing, then you would settle to cost center. similarly you have maintanance order which you can settle to GL code if you dont have intention to capilise the costs (fixed asset).

Cost center & Profit Center set up

Hi,
I am a Chartered Accountant by Profession. I just started my classes to eventually go for certification as FICO Consultant. I have the following question for you. I would appreciate if someone could answer this for me.
THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO ACHIEVE AS AN END RESULT FROM CONTROLLING SET UP.
Basic Premises:
One Company is doing business in computers and has business area's already defined geographically.
Products/ Profit Centers: Desktops & Laptops, Computer hardware like mother boards, RAM, Hard drives etc, Software.
Cost Centers: Production, Ware housing, Selling & Distribution, Gen Admin.
We can set up cost elements to match up with the expenses accts in GL. Say Cost of Production, Salaries, Stationery, Postage, Travel Etc. While setting up the cost elements we will not select a default cost center.
We can set up cost centers for Production, Warehousing, Selling & Distr. and Gen Admin.
We then set up Profit centers for Desktops & Laptops, Computer Hardware, Software.
Now let us go with an example for a flow of an expenditure:
We have incurred a Production cost for desktops 1,000 and Production cost for Computer Hardware 750.00
If we leave the linking of cost centers with the profit centers, at the entry level we can select a cost center Production for both the expense of 1,000 and 750 and then select the profit center Desktop & laptops for 1,000 and Profit Center Computer Hardware for 750. This will solve and settle the issue.
But I have been advised that the cost centers need to be linked to profit centers. The flow will be
1. Cost Element to Cost Center has to be done by the user ( Since we did not define a default cost center at the Cost Element level).
2. From the cost center the expenditure should flow automatically (Since we can link the Cost Center to A Profit Center). This is where I am having a problem in understanding the concept.
For a single cost center we cannot define multiple Profit Centers. In the above example say we link the Cost Center "Production" to Profit Center "Desktop & laptops". What will happen to 750 which actually relates to Profit Center "Computer Hardware". We can have as many Cost Centers as Profit centers to solve the problem, but that defeats the management purpose of wanting to know what is the production cost for all lines. Can we create Production in the second level under Standard Hierarchy and create cost centers for Production (Desktops & Laptops), Production(Computer Hardware) and Production Software, Drag and group them under the Second level Production that we created under standard Hierarchy. I do not know how this will affect the reports that are generated for cost centers. The reports for Profit centers will be fine.
Hemreddy

Hi,
Cost center is defined as per requirement, In your scenerio cost center will be department wise like different product dept for example Desktop, hardware accessories, laptops etc.. So, every cost cenet should be assigned to profit center. As per reporting related to cost center and profit center both report has it own advantages like cost center is purely related to cost of the particular department wheras profit center is related to both cost and revenue, it is broad prospective related to profit or loss made for that particular profit center.

Error Activity type 502000 not set up for cost center 1000 cc111

hi all
While creating a work center (CR01) I need to enter a cost center and activity type for machine hours. However, while entering the activity type the following message appears:
Message no. CR 061
You are attempting to assign activity type XXXX to the work center. However, this activity type has not yet been set up in controlling area 1000 for cost center xxxxx.
while creating the activity type in KL01 i have already given * in cc category so it should go for all cc
What could cause this problem?
Thank you in advance,
Kind regards

Hi,
Check whether the activity type is maintained at the correct controlling area via KL03. If not, then create the activity type (KL01) in the corresponding controlling area.

Darrel

Activity Type ENGINE not set up for cost center

Hi all,
Currently, we have set up a work center in our system, which has the following intergration:
- Controlling Area --> TECH
- Cost Center --> TECH001
- Activity Type --> ENGINE
- Plant --> PN01
- Work Center --> PL01
Based on the above, the work center PL01 has the relationship of where Activity Type ENGINE and Cost Center TECH001 are linked together, where Cost Center is tied to Controlling Area TECH.
However, when a user tried to create General Task List (Trxn IA05), under Work Center PL01 and Plant PN01, and inserted Activity Type ENGINE in Operation item. It gives the following error:
Activity Type ENGINE not set up for cost center
I have also checked KP26 that everything is setup correctly.
Please can someone shed some light on the above?
Many thanks and regards,
Patrick
PS: Full point guaranteed for helpful answer.

Hi all,
I have solved the issue by changing the Start Date of the Work Center. Now everything works well.
cheers,
Patrick

Dear Sunil,
Check out this,
1.Create a Cost center using T code - KS01.
2.Create an activity type using T code - KL01.
3.Assign the Rates for an activity type & cost center combination using T code KP26.
4.In the input screen of T code KP26 ,enter version as 0, from period 1 and to period as 12 and the Fiscal
Year as 2008,enter the cost center, activity type click on overview screen (F5)---> enter the per hour Rate
under Fixed price and set value as 2 for distribution key and plan price indicator as 3.
5.After performing this ,while creating the work center ,this combination of activity type & cost center
should be assigned.Then while creating routing/task list this work center can assigned for performing
operations.
Check with this & revert back if you need any further help.

Setting Cost Center Satus

Hi
I have a problem changing cost center status.I have locked postings in the control tab of the cost centerand set the analysis period and validity period then selected Inactive:change.Status goes to Inactive.When I save, the status reverts back to Active.How can I resolve this?
Kind regards
Manette

Hi,
What is exactly that you want to do? The status for cost centre should be always active (not as in profit centre). Actually, this active/inactive status in cost centre is purely technical.

Sales order - cost center posting

In a sales order, the field cost center (header rellated) appears only by entering an order reason.
Are there other possibilities to open cost center field for entry?

Hi,
If the account in question is defined as cost element (KA03), then it requires an assignment to CO. Profit centre is not sufficient, as it's not a CO entity, but EC-PCA. If you want to set different cost centre depending on input paramteres (plant), you can define a substitution (OKC9). Otherwise, if you just want to set a default you could use OKB9 or KA02.

Report Painter - How to identity statistical orders in a Cost Center Report

Hello,
currently I am in the process of building a cost center report based on reporting tabel CCSS.
This report should list all primary and secondary costs which are charged to a specific cost center/cost center group .
The cost center or cost center group is given in the general data selection.
All direct primary cost postings are identified in rows like this:
- Cost Element (SET): cost element group A1, A2,...Axx
- Business Transaction Type: COIN
All primary cost postings deriving from (real) internal orders are identified like this:
- Cost Element: 1 to 9999999999
- Business Transaction: KOAO
- Partner object number: 0 to 99999999
Now here is the problem:
The controlling department requests to identify all primary cost postings to the given cost center which have been postet to a statistical internal order at the same time. The most part of the primary costs have been directly postet to the cost center in the Additioanal Account Assignments. But some have been posted to the cost center and at the same time to a statistical internal order.
Looking into BSEG I can quickly identify these line items as they have a value in BSEG-KOSTL and BSEG-AUFNR.
How can I select these items in a report painter report?
I would like to separate all items whith connection to statistical int. orders from those with no connection to internal ordes.
Thanks for your help!

Dear Elli,
Dear SAP-Gurus,
once again, thank you for your quick reply.
You hints and remarks are very much appeciated.
My problem seems to be slightly more complicated than what I had expected.
All postings to the cost center/cost center group are actual postings. The cost center is the "real" cost element, there are no postings of value type 11 here.
Most postings have the cost center as the only cost element, but others additionally mention a statistical order.
My goal is to seperate those postings to the cost center [as (real) cost element] plus the statistical order from those with only the cost center.
I would also like to sort these postings by the order number.
I could easily write two reports:
One for the cost center and another one only for the statistical orders. The latter would use value type parameter 11 (as you proposed!). Unfortunately, I do not know all order numbers tied to the cost center. As table BSEG is not suitable for SAP Query, I run into deep problems here.
I know I have problem in the design of my report here and I would like to sort out, which options I have.
Is Report Painter a suitable tool for me here anyway?
Thanks again!
Karsten

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.
