Cost Center & WBS Element

Dear All,
My client wants to use WBS elements instead of Cost Center. Can WBS elements can be mapped under Profit Centers ?
Business Areas, Profit Centers, Cost Centers, Plants, WBS elements - can we use all or some to be eliminated ?
Thanks,
JEERI
Moderator: Please, avoid asking basic questions

Hi Jeeri,
the answer is yes to both questions.
Please see SAP notes 41103 and 106968 explaining in detail the CO account assignment
logic.

Input help for cost center & WBS element not working

Hi ALL
We are using SRM 4.0 with backend ECC 5.0.
Input help for attributes cost center (CNT), WBS element (PRO) are not functioning.
When tried to search for input help (F4) on the above attributes, I am getting message "Display not possible (Inconsistency in the input help)".
I even applied SAP note 746788 for cost center search help.
Can you tell me if I have missed any config settings?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Did you managed the transactional RFC destination in the customizing (where you define all your log. systems it is an additional field in the table control).

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

BOOKING TRAVEL COST TO WBS ELEMENT

Hi there,
Can anyone tell me how i can book travel expenses to a WBS element.
From pr05 i can select the WBS but when i post it to FI its getting posted to the cost center (and the profit center) and not to the WBS although the correct GL account is being updated.

Hi,
The problem is at your wage type and symbolic account settings. Remove the tick for "w/o CO receiver".
Path: SPRO>Financial Accounting (New)>Travel Management>Integration of Travel management and payroll>wage types>define assignment of wage type to symbolic account.
Settle a trip with WBS to FI, whatever the CO assignment you maintain in the trip will flow to FI.
Thanks,
Sharif

Need a report for actual cost by WBS element by month

Hello all,
I am looking for a report that will give me the total costs charged to a series of of WBS elements by month. Does anybody know if such a report can be run and what the transaction number of this report would be?
Thanks

I tried the S_ALR_87100185 report as you instructed but I cant get it to display as I would like to see it. What I need the report to do is display actuals by month and WBS elemnts from January through August. However the report cuts off at the May period. Does anybody have a workaround so I can see the charges from January through August?

Function modules or BAPI for posting plan costs for WBS Element

Hi all,
Does anyone know, whether there exists a function module or BAPI for posting plan costs to a WBS Element? K_COSTS_PLAN_PS does not work, because RKP1 is not allowed.

Exchange rate diff. influencing the available cost of WBS-element

Hi all,
here is a intricate problem I need help to solve. I am not so very experienced withon CO/PS, my main competence is within PM. This issue involves PM/MM/PS and CO so I am not sure if this is the correct group to post to, but I give it a try..
In PM (Plant Maintenance) workorders the u201DPlanned Costu201D is calculated. Exchange rate type for the u201DPlanned costu201D is picked from the CO Cost Version u201D0u201D that uses exchange rate type u201DPu201D. This is a exchange rate type that have one yearly fixed exchange rate. The actual costs are posted with exchange rate type M, which is daily updated.
The Planned cost in the workorder is a part of the u201DAssigned Costu201D that are influencing the available budget on the WBS-element. u201DRemaining/Residual order planu201D.
In cases where the PRQ/PO are created in other currency than the Company code currency we have a problem:
The difference in exchange rate are causing the u201DAvailable budgetu201D to be too low u2013 and the only workaround I have found is to decrease the planned cost in the WO to release the available cost for the Budget. (make the available cost higher )
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
- I have thought of setting the exchange rate type for the planned cost to be the same as for the actual costs u2013 but it is not recommended to change the exchange rate type in CO for cost version u201D0u201D and not a good ide to change the exchange rate type for actual cost eather. This will also not solve the problem of exchange rate difference caused by PRQ/PO beeing created for a whole year for varying exchange rates.
- Is there a way to exclude the u201D Remaining/Residual order planu201D from the u201DAssigned Costu201D? And what consequences will this have? Only cost from PRQ/PO will appear? (Since internal material (reservations) and internal hours not triggers a PRQ/PO)? I see there is a transaction CJE5 where you can exclude the u201D Remaining/Residual order planu201D from the u201DAssigned costu201D u2013 but I think this will only exclude it from beeing shown in the report S_ALR_87013558?- not from the calculation of available cost at the WBS-element? which is what I need. (see Note 668240)
-Is there any u201DExchange rate differenceu201D setting in the customizing u2013 how exchange rate difference are treated for PM orders? And will this help my problem?
Best regards
Ellen

Report:actual costs:statistical wbs elements and assets assigned to them

Hi all,
I would like to run a report that gave me this info:
WBS Element (all statistical)
Assets assigned to each WBS
Actual costs
It would be perfect CJI3 but it doesn't show assets. In AM I haven't see either any report that shows WBS elements...
any ideas???

Thanks for your reply but this is not the question.
The question is:
Example:
I have 100 WBS Elements. Each of them has an average of 5 assets assigned. (what makes 500 assets)
I post lot of invoices in each asset.
I would like a report that tells me at once the total actual amount posted in each ASSET and group those costs by each WBS element.
Thanks and regards,
Miguel

Function Module to find Planned Costs and Actual Costs against WBS element

Dear All,
We have a requirement where we need to find out the Planned Costs and Actual Costs booked against a WBS element, in a year. The costs can be against all the plan versions or on individual plan version.
Are there any function modules to retrieve this value?
Thanks for the help.
Warm Regards,
Judith

Hi,
The easiest way would be to get the OBJNR for all WBS elements from PRPS and look up RPSCO and summarize for Value type (RPSCO-WRTTP) 1 for planned cost and 4 for Actual cost.
Please let me know if this helps.

Report showing sum of Budget/actual cost of WBS elements from diff proj

Hi,
i need to display consolidated budget/cost report for separate projects. (example PROJ 1 and PROJ 2)
in both projects, they have similar structure of WBS (same descriptions etc..)
in reports i can run both project but the values are summarized for the entire projects.. (results = Total of PROJ 1 + total of PROJ 2).
but i need report showing subtotals of WBS 1.1 of PROJ 1 + WBS 1.1 of PROJ 2 and so on...
i thought i could do it using CJI8 but i cannot filter it by description and do subtotals since it does not have a description column.
is my requirement possible with standard or need to customize a report?
thanks in advance

hi
please try to use Co Object Name field with sub total

Hide Cost Center & GL Account in Movement Types 551-556

All,
Requirement - Movement Types 551-556 should not allow the user to see or enter the Cost Center or G/L Account.
How can I remove the user from having to enter and see the cost center and G/L account fields from movement types 551-556?
I see I can make them both optional but this does not seem to be working. When I got into MB1A, I am still forced to enter both values. I
Please advise!
Thanks!

He wanted the cost center (or any other account assignment) is to be displayed only but not ready for input in MB1A screen. Then how can user enter the cost object to post the loss. System by design enables user to enter his own GL account (if that GL is configured to the process).
Automatic account determination helps to identify the correct GL account only for any movement type (say process) but not the account assignment objects like cost center, WBS element, order etc..

WBS element field in the customer line item

Hi Experts
Clientu2019s requirement is to populate the WBS element in the customer line item.
Field status of Posting key -01 for WBS element is u2013 Optional
Field status of Customer recon a/c for WBS element is u2013 Optional
Still in the customer line item screen, the WBS element field is hidden.
Kindly advise how to make the field WBS element available in the customer line item.

Hello,
When you post customer invoice, screen no 301 is active. Here you can find only fields like payment terms.baseline date,payment block etc.
As this is not a cost object you will not find cost center, wbs element. You could find them on credit item.

Purchasing for statistical wbs element

Hello SAP experts,
Could you please advise if it is possible to create a purchase requisition with regard to a statistical WBS element? If so, please let me what the assignment category should be used, so both cost center & wbs element number could be used.
Thanks!!!

not possible
statistical means not account assigned - no commitments (PR) can be raised against these

Cost center on CAT2

Is there a way to default funds/cost center in CAT2 screen? Our requirement is to control the way the cost/funds center appear in the CAT2 screen based on the position the employee holds. If the position is XYZ, then the cost/funds center should either default to the home cost center of the employee and the time admin should have the flexibility to charge a portion of the hours to a different WBS element/Cost/Funds center. Also, the WBS elements should be available as a drop down list in the CAT2 screen.
Your inputs are highly appreciated.

Hi Brad,
Thank you so much for your inputs. I did read about the infotype 315 for defaulting cost center. Since this would require manual creation/mass upload of cost center to each of the employees, it would be easier to have this defaulted directly from the CAT2 screen with a drop down list to chose from. I guess we have to look at user exits to achieve this (?)
Would you be able to give me some help on how to activate the cost center, WBS elements on the CAT2 screen? I have tried to do this in the CAC1 where I saw two check boxes for master cost center and cost center. I didnt see any cost center fields in the cat2 screen after checking these boxes. Another question is, how do I get the WBS elements displayed as a drop down list. Please excuse me if I am repeating the questions that you think you have already answered. I am brand new to this.
What did you mean by planning? Did you mean OM? If it is OM, yes we do use it. How can we have the list displayed in this case? User exit?
Thanks so much.

Profit center in Cost center master data

dear sap expert,
I have cost center (1100) with validity period 01.07.2010 to 31.12.9999.
and a profit center (1000) with validity period 01.07.2010 to 31.12.9999.
User want to extend the cost center from 19.08.1982.
First, I change the validity period of the profit center so it became 19.08.1982 to 31.12.9999 .
But when I create cost center 1100 again (KS01) with different period which is : 19.08.1982 to 30.06.2010, system give an error message " Changing profit center from to 1000 is not permitted " when I fill up profit center field (which is 1000).
Can you help how do I deal with this error?
regards

Changing profit center from to 1000 is not permitted
Message no. FAGL_ORG_UNITS011
Diagnosis
You want to change the profit center from to 1000. However, this is not permitted because transaction data either already exists for the account assignment object or could exist at the time when the change takes effect in the system. Changing the profit center in this instance can lead to inconsistencies in FI.
Examples:
1. There are costs on a cost center (WBS element) to which profit center A is assigned. If the profit center in the cost center master record were now changed to B and the costs then distributed to other cost centers, the currently assigned profit center - that is, profit center B - would be credited. Profit center A, however, would still have a debit posting.
2. There are not yet any costs on a cost center to which profit center A is assigned. For this cost center, an additional time slice needs to be created for a future period with profit center B. However, there is always a chance that transaction data continues to be entered in the cost center until the time when postings can be made to the affected period. This can lead to similar inconsistencies as those described in point 1.
System Response
The action is terminated.
Procedure
If you want the change in profit center to be possible, you can convert this error message into a warning message. You do this in the IMG activity Change Message Control (work area FAGL_ORG_UNITS, message number 011).
