Cost Center Status

Gurus,
How do I get the cost center active/inactive status?
I am currently creating an interface of SAP to another system. The status of the cost center is required. I check t-code: OKENN but can not trace which table the status is maintained.
Thanks in advance for the help!

hi Goldust,
you have to check the following fieds in table CSKS:
BKZKP - Primary costs actual
If this field is set to 'X' than it means that you cannot post to this cost center.
hope this helps

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.

Cost Center Master data field status change

Hello Gurus,
I need to change the field status of 'User Responsible' field as required from optional in the cost center master data. I am not being able to get the exact answer from my searches. If anyone can help with an answer, it would be great.

Dear,
You can use screen variant also...
Transaction code: SHD0
and make that field as required.

Field Status for cost center master data!

Hi friends,
can anyone please tell me,
Where do we define, which field is mandatory in cost center master data
regards

Good afternoon Rohan,
To do that :
IMG or transaction KM1V.
Create a variante with attributes.
You can also define time based fields in transaction OKEG

Cost Center Display - Urgent Please

While data entry, a particular expense range GL Account (Non Recovered VAT) is not displaying the Cost Center field. I have checked the Field Status Group of this particular GL wherein Cost Center is field is optional and not suppressed. Even the posting keys settings are perfect. On the other hand, another expense Account (Vehicle Maintenance A/c) has the similar Field Status Group and for this account the entry screen displays the Cost Center field rightly.
Please let me know where else can the input screen for a given GL Account is impacted, apart from Field Status Grp, Posting Key and Account Group.
This is a Production issue and requires immediate attention and help.
Thank you

Error in Cost Center Hierarchy

Dear all,
When I delete all cost center in standard hierarchy by tcode OKC4, some cost centers still appear in cost center hierarchy with activation status is "red". How to delete all cost center with "red" activation status in this case ?
When I check these cost centers by tcode KS02 or KS03, the system raises information "No data exist" but when I create cost center with the same code by tcode OKEON, the system raise error "Cost center already exist".
So how to solve the problem ? I want to clear all the cost center in standard hierarchy and create again in DEV (No transaction data existed).
Thank you very much,
Dat Lam

Hi,
Go to OKEON - Menu - Extras - Hierarchy-Master Data - Comparison and see what's the output. Genrally, you are not supposed to delete cost centres from the standard hierarchy.

Cost Center Error while releasing Billing document to Accounting

Hi SAP Gurus,
Our user raised an issue that when he had released billing document to accounting, the system threw error message
"Cost center xxxx (CO area)/xxxx(Cost center) does not exist on date 11/16/2011". Message No. KI 222.
But the cost center xxxx does not exist in the system at all. The user does not want to create the cost center eirther. Cost center was not entered in Sales order, Delivery and Billing. I have checked 'Default account assignement' (OKB9) settings, Default account assignment in cost element master record and assignment of cost center to sales organization (OVF3). But cost center xxxx was not configured in the above settings. I have checked validations/substitutions, user exits and BAPIs, there is nothing specific to the cost center. This is not a cross-company code scenario. I have made field status to optional for cost center. But still the problem persists. Accounting document did not get generated because of the above mentioned error message. User applied SAP notes 315350. But it did not resolve the issue.
Would anyone let me know 'why the system showed the cost center xxxx that does not exist, while releasing the billing document to accounting'?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
K.S.K

Hi Friend,
I think this link help for you
Cost center XXXX does not exist on 15.09.2010.
or check the OVF3

Cost Center Error Message in Posting a Billing Document to Accounting

Hi Experts,
I am in process of testing my form enhancement for Billing Documents especially Debit Note and Credit Notes. However, when I post my Billing Documents in VF02, this status message appears:
"Field Cost Ctr is a required field for G/L account 2100 855020".
Now I already checked the configuration in FS00, VKOA and we want the cost center field filled-up in the process but automatically. Do I missed some of my configuration to maintain also the Cost Center? What transaction code should I check and maintain the Cost Center for this scenario.
Thanks a lot for your answers.

Here is the Entire Error Message:
Field Cost Ctr is a required field for G/L account 2100 855020
Message no. F5808
Diagnosis
The value for field "Cost Ctr" in the interface to Financial Accounting is an initial value but you are required to make an entry in the field selection for G/L account "855020" in company code "2100" linked to the field selection for posting key "50".
System Response
Error
Procedure
It might be an error in the configuration of the G/L account field selection. The initial application, used to call up the interface must otherwise define a value for field "Cost Ctr". If this is the case, contact the consultant responsible for the application used to call up the interface or get in contact with SAP directly.

Profit Center deriviation from Cost Center

Hi all,
I have just configured CCA and PCA for one of our new company code.
I have created 3 cost centers like A, B, C and subsequently same have been created as profit centers too.
Maintained the profit center in the cost center master data.
No other derivation rules has been configured so far.
Now i am trying to do a expense posting with F-02, after entering cost center, system is updating profit center field with a dummy profit center only.
Even i f a changed the dummy to normal profit center, again system replacing the normal PC with dummy PC.
I want like...when i enter CC as A, then i need to derive PC also as A for the line item. ( For both expense items as well as revenue items).
Please suggest.
Regards,
Srinu

Hi Chintan,
Thanks for your quick response.
We have already implemented the said SAP note.
Let me explain my requirement again.
We have IOA, CCA, PCA active in our system.
For every expense or revenue line item Internal order is mandatory.
apart from we have 3 cost centers and 3 profit centers ( 1:1 )
in cost center master , profit center is assigned.
1) users are going to decide the cost center, while posting FI direct entries only. So while doing F-02, they will enter CC, and IO manually and at the same time PC should derive from cost center master data ( as it is 1:1 only).
2) as specified above, we have IOA, CCA, PCA active. In this case IO, CC, PC are to be set as mandatory fields for Field Status Groups G004 and G029?
Please advise...
Regards,
Srinu

Profit Center value for Creation of Cost Center in MDG F

Hi
I am using MDG-F 6.1. I want to create cost center using change request type OG_W003 ( Cost Center single processing) without uploading intial data from ECC check table ( CEPC- Procit Center Master Data ).
Is this possible as there is warning message while creation of CC?
As there is warning message befor submitting of CR as
'Field "Profit Center": Field should be filled because Profit Center Accounting is active'
If we go ahead for with final processing then again one warning message
'The status of change request 86 does not allow for object changes'
After Approval active CC stores in MDG database table and not replicated to ECC even assigned Edition with flag'Immediate replicate' .
Also one more question How referance data ( Like Controlling Area/Company Codes) are retrived in MDG F in case of add on deployement?
Does intial upload is requird for this as well?
In ECC it is possible to create CC without PC.

Hello Sanjay
For Interface and for ALE setup Global company code is must. You are dealing with cross-company transfers since you are using MDG and ECC. In the ALE distribution layer, it is required to set up the global company code for the program to understand for which company code the master data is created. This setting will not affect any process. Tcode- ob72 and obb5.

Revenue element-cost center

During automatic cost element creation, I included one of gl sales accounts which is a revenue element. (cat 11). Now when I try to post entry to this sales account, it asks for cost object (cost center?). Now I really do not want to include this sales account (rev element) in any cost center. Am I forced to create a cost center for sales so that I can post gl or customer invoice to this sales account? Or should I delete the revenue element? I wanted to seperate all my sales accounts and group them to a department (cost center? profit center?).
Thanks
Rashid

Hoi Rashid,
You can change filed status group or create a validation with an user exit.
In the validation you say when the costcenter is posted on a cost element type 11 or 12 (and other cost objects) is <> blanc give an error.
You can say to on the cost centers in the tab Control that it is not allowed to post actual revenues on the cost center

Co-pa and cost center with different profit centers?

I have a requirement to post (from fb50) to:
1) True posting: A profitability segment with profit center XXX
2) Statistical posting: A cost center assignet to profit center YYY
I enter values in cost center, profit center and Prof.segm., but as soon as I press "Enter" the system overrides the profit center I enter and derive YYY from the cost center.
If I try to change the profit center manually to XXX I get message KI350 (profitability segment being derived again) and the profit center is reset to YYY!
I have played with the field status groups and the message control, but no matter what I do I can't change the behaviour.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately it doesn't help me:-(
Since the cost center posting ends up being statistical it doesn't make sense (at least not to me...) that it takes priority over the manual entry (or one derived in the true posting - the CO-PA assignment).
I have included the profit center in my characteristic group, but it is greyed out.
I have also made a derivation specifically clearing the profit center and another one rederiving it from other CO-PA assignments. It looks fine in the derviation analysis but it doesn't change in the document!
Are there other options? Will a substitution be able to take priority over the statistical assignment?

How to make the cost center or WBS field optional for Vendor/customer line?

Dear experts:
Does anyone has the experience of releasing WBS or cost center fields to be optional for the customer or vendor line item?
I've tested in system, neither the field status control in GL account master data nor the FSG in posting key worked, I can't let the WBS field to display in the screen and ready for input.
So my conclusion is that the FSG control in not completely effective for customer/vendor line, it there any other method to let WBS to be optional in custer/vendor line items?
Our purpose for changing that is that we're using joint venture accounting, we need to let users to input a cost object for system to derive joint venture information. please do not suggest deriving JV information using other methods, because we're dealing with a special case, i.g. in a cross-company document, only a customer/vendor line in our company, so it's impossible to split JV information from offset lines, anyway, please help me out directly with my issue.

Hi, Lu:
If I understand your question correctly, you want to modify the FSG of recociliation account of Vendor/Customer to make sure Cost Center/WBS field display in transaction F-22/F-43 for example, right?
I am not sure whether it is possible, I also tried in ECC6.0 but failed to show these two fields. And I think that doesn't make sense to assign CO object to AP/AR reconciliation account, but assign it to Revenue/Expense account in following line items.
And You can use New General Ledger functionality Document Splitting to derive corresponding CO object information to Reconciliation Account line item, but it is enabled only in General Ledger level, not in subledger level.
If you find any other meaningful solution, please also share with us.
Thanks & BR, Lawrence

Asset Postings on Internal Order or Cost Center

Hello All,
I created the Asset B/S Recon A/C as Cost Element 90 to have postings on cost Objects.
In ACSET - I customized both IO and CC to have APC postings and Depreciation postings.
But when I post an acquisition, Iam not seeing either an IO or CC in the Document.
Am I missing some thing.
Thanks.

Hi Venkat,
Make the fields Cost center and CO/PP Order as optional in field status group that you will assign in GL Master Record.
I think for reconciliation account, we generally assign G067 field status group. Go to T'code OBCD and double click on G067 - Reconciliation accounts - Additional account assignments and make those fields optional.

Cost center not picked up in the APC posting for Asset

Hi,
The account assignment object KOSTL is active in system, with the below settings.
and below is the transaction type specific settings.
in the posting key and the GL accounts Field status groups, the cost center is optional and activity type is also optional.
In Asset master the cost center is maintained.
But while doing the Asset Acquisition postin the cost center is not updated in the document.
It was expected that the cost center will be derived from asset master and would have reflected in the 1st line item.
Please help me understand, if some other configuration has to be looked at for this perticular issue,
Regards
Rudra

Hi Ganesh / Rudra
CC in Asset Postings has a purpose
Since no Profit Center is directly maintainable in Asset Master atleast until EhP4 or 5, the PC in Asset APC line item was derived through the Cost Center or Internal Order maintained in Asset master
For that reason, your asset APC account must be created as Cost element, even though it is a Balance sheet account.. The cost element category will be automatically 90 - Statistical Cost element
Check if the APC account is made as Cost element or not.. That would be the reason most probably
Hope it is clear
Br. Ajay M
PS :- I heard that from EHP5 or 6 PC can be directly maintained in Asset Master.. I have not seen it yet, so i cant comment on it
