Hi Vishal,
B1's profit center report is in LC only. It does not support in Foreign Currency.
Please check this wiki page to find Cost Accounting section:

Is it possible to assign a cost center from SD billing to FI doc in SAP?

Hi All,
Our users hope to create a billing and change a revenue account to a expense account. (because this billing is not revenue and user hope it is cost reduction)
But the expense account has created a cost element and set the cost element category as 01 (Primary costs/cost-reducing revenues). User can create billing, but can not post FI document. The error meesage is "Account XXXXX requires an assignment to a CO object"
How can I change the account do not need cost center?
Or may I assign a cost center at SO/Billing?
Best regards,
Eric

Hi
See Note 301077 - User exits for the interface to accounting and try with the proper enhancement (perhaps EXIT_SAPLV60B_004). Try to populate the field ACCIT-KOSTL, because I think that with customizing tcode OKB9 you could not do it.
I hope this helps you

Cant change COST CENTER GROUPS and/or Standard Hierarchy

Hello all,
im facing some problems during change of COST CENTER GROUPS and/or Standard hierarchy.
When im trying to select im getting following error Value maintenance not allowed ->Standard Hierarchy
When i do get the selection of the cost center that i want to remove from the hierarchy im getting this error Function is not supported in the standard hierarchy.
I dont know anymore what to do.
ive searched in forum and google but still didnt find enything usefull.

Hello,
There is no word called removal in SAP. It would have been properly pronounced if say "Delete".
In case of delete, I do accept, there should not be any planned or actual line items during the fiscal year. If there are any actual or planned lines items you cannot delete the cost center during that period.
However, you can still delete the cost center in the next fiscal year if there are no actual or planned line items.
Hope this makes clear.

Cost Center Group and Profit center Group

Hi All,
The Client is requested to have Cost Center Group in the CO reports. I have trying to analyse how to get Cost center group in the report or Info Provider.
When i went to T-code KS03 in ECC ( Display Cost Center), i get the Hierarchy Area field called KHINR, which shows the Cost center grp. Upon discussing with Functional person, he has told that this Field lies in Table CSKS (Cost Center Master).
Now i am thinking to enhance the Cost Center Attribute Dsrc. with this Field KHINR.
I just want some suggestions or advice on how to bring Cost center grp and Profit center grp
Thanks and Regards

Hello Simon, Thanks again for all your FICO resolutions.
Yes i truly agree that Cost Center Grp is CostCenter Hierarchy,, but i dont understand, y the Client has told that he needs the field KHINR in the Cost Center Report too.
Actually he wants Cost Center Group wise report and NOT Cost center wise report.
I have thght of extracting the Complete Std Hierarchy to 0COSTCENTER and then in the report , i can give a Cost Center Hierarchy Variable(probably a selection screen), such that the User can select the Nodes he want and then drill down the CostCenter Groups to see his respective Cost center accounting.
Please opinionate on this
Thanks

Get Name for CO Cost Center Group and BGD Processing

Hi,
I use these function modules to get the cost center group nodes in the CO hierarchy.
If I pass it a value that is in two controlling areas
if prompts another screen to pick which controlling area we want to look in. My problem is when I try to run this report in the background it gets hung up on this screen waiting for input. any ideas on how to get around this.
here is the reference code.
thanks
Please note that the following logic is parts of SAP example report
RGSEX001.
Get the internal Set-ID from the external name of the set
Selection of sets can be restricted to a specific set class or
to sets matching a specific table field.
See documentation of function module G_SET_GET_ID_FROM_NAME
If the set class, subclass and setname is known, function module
G_SET_ENCRYPT_SETID should be used alternatively (see RGSEX020)
    CALL FUNCTION 'G_SET_GET_ID_FROM_NAME'
         EXPORTING
              shortname = w_set
              old_setid = w_setid
         IMPORTING
              new_setid = w_setid.
Read the complete hierarchy (set and all subsets)
    CALL FUNCTION 'G_SET_TREE_IMPORT'
         EXPORTING
              setid              = w_setid "Set-ID, not the Setname!!!
              no_table_buffering = ' '
         TABLES
              set_hierarchy      = it_hierarchy
              set_values         = it_values.

Hi!
For reading cost center hierarchy you can try K_HIERARCHY_TABLES_READ.
It returns near the same info as one you've mentioned, works well for single controlling area and I hope in case of ambiguity it will raise one of exceptions provided. Give it try.

OLMRLIST screen how to fix the cost center tab and its impact?

Hi
Explain the function of the T-Code OLMRLIST.
How does it interact with the MIRO T-Code?
What is the significance of a field check box being checked in OLMRLIST. I particularly want to know about the Cost center field.
Raja

OLMRLIST is used to adjust teh screen variant for the MIRO screen. At the line item level you see layouts and each layout has a set of fields in the form of columns. These are adjusted via the screen layout variants in OLMRLIST like 7_6310 which is all information and like wise you have 6_6310, etc...

How do I change Resource Cost Center only and retain historical cost center data?

How would a Project Server Admin accommodate changes in the resource's cost center itself?
For example, Ken (timesheet submitter) records Feb time in cost center C1, but then transfers to a new team, which is in cost center C2 on Mar 1st.
When I change his cost center at the resource level, reporting indicates all of his previous C1 time as a resource under the C2 cost center, and all of his C1 time looks like it's incorrectly in C2.
I am thinking about adding custom resource fields to track these changes, but it seems like a lot of extra work, if something already exists that I can use.
Thanks,
Marty

Marty,
AFAIK, there is no way to do this OOB as Resource Fields are not 'time-phased'.
A 'possible' alternative, like you mentioned, could be be to use custom fields to track, the change (like Effective Date, Old Cost Center), and then somehow write a query to consider the old cost center between the dates. I have not tried this personally,
just a thought.

Cost Center Variance and revaluation of activities at actual prices

Dear experts:
1. I'd like to know, given the complexity of setting up in customizing and entering data by users, as well as interpretting the results of variance calculations based on actual activity price calculations, I am wondering how many percentage (roughly) of SAP implementations actually use actual activity price calculation, splitting structures, and revaluation at actual activity prices at month-end.
2. Do you calculate actual activity prices for those consumed in production order via routing and revaluate to get actual production costs?
Those of you who have been on many implementations are requested to share their insights. This will help me assess how deeply I need to study AC412.
Your words of wisdom will be truly appreciated with reward of points.

Hi Mohan
Usage of SAP functionalities like actual activity price calculations, splitting structures and revaluation depends on client. If the client is sure of its impact and is confident of ensuring posting correct data they use it. If the client has an environment where they cannot enforce or control activity confirmation corrections in plant, the costing guy does not go for these functionalities. There are two situations
1) Actual activity qty is entered and costing is done with plan prices, in which case the variance is purely quantity variance
2) Else plan qty is consdered as actuals and also the price, in which case no activity cost variance occurs
Or u can do following
The usage of these functionalities are purely dependent on client
Where accuracy of data is ensured u can use the above functionalities and yes we calculate actual activity prices and also revaluate the production orders at month end to get actual production costs
Pls assign points if the above helped ur cause

Commitment code---cost center and gl

There is a issue regarding budgeting.
we have some option that we are considering. pls give some views on it
option 1 whenever we put a cost center while making any posting ,system picks up a commitment code and then budget gets allocated. but here same commitment code gets selected for same cost center but different expenses in same cost center.
cost center is a/c              commitment code is       cc1    (g/l 1 repairs)
cost center is a/c              commitment ocde is       cc2    (g/l 2 salary )
option 2. we have a GL bank charges and cost center then based on this combination of gl and cost center a specific commitment code    a/c-b.charges get filled in commitment field.
if we have another cost center (IT) and same GL bank charges then based on this second combination another commitment code gets selected     IT-b.charges
so    for cost center 1              if there are 30 commitment codes
then for cost center 2              there will be another 30 commitment codes
so we have 60 cost centers then in all we will have 1800 commitment codes.
we want a way in which less commitment codes are opened yet we are able to achieve what we are getting in second option.

WBS element and Cost Center

Hi Gurus,
As far as I know, when the a/c assignment category is P in a PO, the costs are assessed on the cost object WBS element and when the a/c assignment category is K in a PO, the costs are assessed on the cost object cost center. But, as I drill down a WBS element, I find Requesting and responsible cost center.
So, can I say that a WBS element is actually a child of the responsible cost center ?
And all the costs assessed on a WBS element are eventually assessed on the responsible cost center?
Please help in clearing my concepts.
Thanks,
Kumar

hi,
You assign the account assignment to WBS element based on the OPERATIVE INDICATOR...
By this you specify the attributes of a WBS element and determine which tasks the WBS element can carry out in the project...
Please check the LInk given for futher explainations:
[WBS ELEMENT|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/4c/225e2a46e611d189470000e829fbbd/frameset.htm]

Functionality of Profit Center and Cost Center

Hi,
I am unable to understand the functionality of Profit center and cost center, I know that cost center represents area within an organization for which you will like to see the expenses for a particular time period. for example in an organisation we have three cos centers Accounts, HR and Admin. whenever you post an accounting document in FI you will specify the cost center to which the expense relates. but in some cases when you post an expense and give the relative cost center the profit center is also driven by the system. why is this behavior? i mean i have posted an expense not an income then why is system driving the profit center as well?
Profit centers are used if you want to see the profit of different area of your organisation. in what kind of postings we use profit center? and if we could use profit center to draw income and loss for a specific area why do we need segment reporting? and what is the difference between Segment and Business area. what i understood from their definition is that they are both same and use for same purpose.
I am totally lost in these concepts. please some one help me out with an example. i am stuck at this point. some one please clarify my concept of Profit Center, Cost Center, Segments and business area please.

Hi,
Cost center & Profit Center are organizational units within the enterprise structure , created for better internal control.
As the name suggests Cost Center is the lowest level of the organizational unit representing a defined location of cost incurrence or otherwise to which you can meaningfully assign the cost(both direct & Indirect).
Profit Center is an organizational unit in accounting ,where management would require to see the profitability & fix the responsibility. It may be each plant/division of the company .
If you consider the Plant is the Profit center, you can take the various deptts in the Plant as cost centers. you can draw a balance sheet & profit & loss account statement at profit center level but this will be for your internal use.From this you can know the ROI on particular area. Profit centers are assigned inside the cost center so when you update cost center, profit centers are updated automatically.
Where as Segments are used for legal reporting of your accounting standard as per IFRS. Both Business Area & Segments are more or less same with some technical difference.
Business area is a free organizational unit. It can be derived through cost center or can be entered manually.
But segment is a dependent organizational unit. It is defined & attached inside the profit center master data. It can’t be entered manually.
SAP suggest to use the Segment concept.
Thanks & regards
Deepak

Cost Center and Profit Center Planning

Hi,
I have one Co issue. Pls Suggest me the wiseful solution.
Cost Center and Profit Center Planning.
For F-2008 Planning data they have updated in the month of Aug, 07 for Profit and Loss Items and they have revised the plan data of some cost elements in the month of oct, 2007 (say 5% Increas). when comparing the cost center report to profit center report, both are not matching. the reason when i see and reconcile the document nos and values in between cost center and profit center reports i found out that there are some documents are missing in the profit center report.
wherever plan data had revised e.g for cost element Salaries they have updated 100000 Planning cost in the month of Aug, 07. In the month of Oct, 07 increased 5% i.e.5000. In cost center line items details i found 2 documents for Rs.100000/- and Rs.5000/- But in Profit Center Line Items i am getting only Rs.5000/- Value Document.
Note. As and when KP06 Plan data has been updated Profit Center line items are generating. It is not necessary to run any programme inorder to transfer Plan Data from cost center to profit center.
Observations From My Side:-
I tried to run the transaction code 1ke0. i have selected the cost object is Cost Center, version and had given Cost Center Parameter in development and quality clients and executed the same.By this time already existing data either deleting/ riversing and creating new documents fully except manually changed data in profit center through 7ke1.
My Question is
1.Upto what extent it will work.
2.will it be possible to transfer data from cost center to profit center only missing documents which are available in cost center, without disturbing of existing data in profit center.
3.suppose if i done this activity, there are some data which was already transferred from other cost objects like internatl orders & wbs elements to Profit Center. will the data get disturbed (deleted/riversed).
Pls suggest me the wiseful way to solve the

Cost Center and Cost Element Hierarchy and Actual Cost Center

In Bex - Right now I am displaying Cost Center and Cost Element hierarchy with 12 months of data. I want to display the actual Cost center number next to cost element hierarchy - Can I display in Bex?
Tried to with Structure creating formula variable for Cost Center using replacement path - didn't work. Can you please suggest me how i can achieve this?
The format should be
CostCenter H1 CostElement H1 CostCenter Jan Feb ...
Thanks in advance and appreciate for any help...

Let me explain it clearly and hope it is clear now...
Designed the report as like this - Cost Center Hierarchy by Cost Element Hierarchy for 12 months of data. But Business agian search in R/3 for actual cost center numbers based on above two hierarchy nodes.
I am trying to achieve this Bex instead of going back to R/3 - so that they can understand how the dollar amount is summed up on which major cost centers.
If I remove the hierarchy on Cost Center - it will display all the cost centers. They want to see the Cost center numbers based on CC and CE hierarchy node so that you are displaying only those cost centers. That's the reason I am trying to design the report with CC Hier, CE hier, Cost Center number and 12 months of data.
In my data model - have only one Cost Center, if i can create another ZCOSTCENTER same as 0COSTCENTER - May be I can achieve this. still looking for options with out changing the design.
