Cost Centers Issue

Dear Experts
We have difference in Cost Centers from Production and Quality.
With out creating,is there any possibility of copying the Cost Centers from Production to Quality.
Thanks & Regards

Hi ,
You can even transport Master Data from Development Server to Quality and Production Servers. The transaction code to do it is OKE6 But you need to excersise lots of cautions to do this. The following note explains that -
Caution
If, prior to the transport, you have already created master data in the target system (whether manually or through a different transport), this data is lost when the transport takes place.
Since in the target system the master data but not the transaction data is deleted, transporting data into a system that already contains data can lead to inconsistencies. You should therefore maintain the master data in the target system manually.
Example
You have manually created cost centers in controlling area 0001 in the target system. You want to transport cost centers in controlling area 0001 from the Customizing clients into the target system.
If you execute the transport, the system deletes the manually-created cost centers in the target system.
The system then imports the new cost centers into the target system.
In a normal scenario , it is best to avoid taking this route and upload the master data instead of transporting it .

Venkat.

Regarding Mirror Cost Centers issue.

Hello SAP Experts,
Let me tell you some background of our requirement. We are having our new Company codes in Mexico. We created new company codes as asked. now very different senario for me becasue I never came a cross like this requirement.
For Mexico company codes we have different Cost centers. We have total 4 company codes. Now we have one plant in USA that is belongs to Mexico. We created new cost centers for Plant that located in US Company code in System but physically it belongs to Mexico. We created cost centers same as in Mexico company code as like Plant that is in US Company codes. We are tyring to get mirror data in Mexico Company code from Plant located in US Company code. let me give you example
Plant in US Company code      Mexico Company codes
Cost Center 33550 R&D          Cost Center 34550 R&D
Cost Center 33551 ***.          Cost Center 34555 ***.
this example is about how we can get all the values from plant cost center that is in US Company code to Mexico Company code. We are not transfering from cost center to another cost center. This requirement is about how we will get all cost center mirror value from different company code to anothore company code. In our requirement we want to trasport all the value that is available in Plant(USA) to Mexico company code.
Issue i found out.
There are different currencies in cost center US Plant currency (USD$) and Mexico company code Cost centers have (MXN Peso). I think this will not issue becasue our group currency and controlling area currecy is (30) (USD$)
I am more concern about how should the copying cost center to cost center will work. We came out sloution to write program with help of ABAP programer. But before starting I like to know if we can see any other configruation part for the requirement
I am new to this kind of requriement please shoot with guides and some references. If you experts needs more information please let me know thank you.

Issue in updating Cost Centers for Employees

Hi All,
1.     Is it necessary that infotype 0000 & 0001 needs to be in synchronization i.e. both the infotypes should contain same no. of records?
2.     Is it necessary to assign cost center to both the position and the employee in infotype 0027 for Payroll purpose or either of one assignment is sufficient? What is the purpose of assigning cost center to a position & cost center to an employee in infotype 0027
3.     We have assigned cost centers to positions & all the employees via infotype 0027. Now I have a situation that the company has created new cost centers as per their business line with effect from Jan 2011. How do I update these new cost centers to position as well as all the employees?
If I assign new cost center to all the positions thru PO13 from 01.01.2011 than system delimits the record in infotype 0001 so now there is 1 record in infotype 0000 & 2 records in infotype 0001. For example an employee is hired on 01.03.2009 with cost center A assigned to his position & in infotype 0027. Now if I assign new cost center B to his position than the system delimits hiring record in infotype 0001. So now there are 2 records in infotype 0001 i.e. 01.03.2009 to 31.12.2010 & second is 01.01.2011 to 31.12.9999. If I do the assignment of new cost centers only in infotype 0027 then system posts the payroll result to old cost center rather than new cost centers. How to resolve this issue?
Regards,
VG

1. Yes. It should be. But in your case this is an exception. It will still work even if the 0000 and 0001 don't have the same number of records.
2. You should only use it0027 if an employee is charging costs to two or more cost centers. You can define here the cost centers where they are charging and the percentage of division between cost centers
If you dont have scenarios like this, DO NOT use this infotype.
For assignment of cost centers to employee (Infotype 1) or to positions (via PO13). You should only use one method. If you are assigning the cost center manually in IT0001 during hiring then you don't need to enter the cost center in the positions.
If you are entering the cost center in the Positions objects, then configure the system so that everytime you do hiring actions (or maintain infotype 1) the cost center assigned to the position is inherited in the infotype 1's cost center field.
Don't assign it to both Infotype 1 manually and the position at the same time, using this method, you'll eventually have data inconsistencies.
For you issue regarding the delimitation of the IT0001, this is ok. This is standard, the infotype 1 is delimited since you have a new cost center assignment for the succeeding period. You don't have to create an Action record since there was no employee movement, only change in cost center assignment. (which is the purpose of the Action infotype-- to record employee movement)
It won't mess with your payroll, your infotype 1 just have an extra record.

Validation for Cost center for Goods issue against the cost centers

Dear Friends
In my client place we have 6 plants are defined and profit centers are defined for each plant. Hence here each plant is one profit center. Cost centers are defined plant wise.
The requirement is when the goods issued to cost center system should check the cost center is defined against the plant. ( i.e., Cost center def against the Profit Center, and Profit center equal to Plant).
Is there any provision to assign the plant to profit center or vice versa?
Please guide me how to resolve the issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Please check EC01. May be it can help you. But in my view it is not possible.

Mateail issue to differnt cost centers _ diffent Gl codes

Hi all
when issue Diesel material to differnt cost centers it should go to differnt gl account
Like for cost center s16 - 58010000 Gl code
cost center a31 _ 50020000 gl code
Cost center a31 _ 58022000 Gl code
Plz give me ur suggestions how i can differentiate
Regards
Renu

Hi,
What's the functional requirement for that? G/L represents costs nature and should not be dependent on target cost object. Through the cost centres, you will be able already to distinguish the goods issue.

How can I use a GL for multiple Cost Centers?

Hello all,
I would appreciate your comments on the following issue. POINTS AVIALABLE. I have setup several cost centers in my Sandbox. The cost centers represent departments that my client has eg Finance & Accounting, Marketing, Shipping/Warehouse.
I have created cost elements for the P&L accounts using OKB2, OKB3, SM35. My client sometimes has situations where they use the same GL for several cost centers. For example, the Freight Expense GL acct is used by Shipping/Warehouse cost center. However, someone in the Accounting/Finance cost center could also use that same GL account as well if they were shipping some documents. I cant use OKB9, since the GL is not used exclusively by the Shipping/Warehouse Cost Center.
If, for example, we create a Sales order, I want to be able to specify somewhere that the freight for that SO must go to the Shipping/Warehouse Cost center. Is there a field in an SO, Delivery document or billing document where we can tell the system that this freight is being used for Shipping/Warehouse cost center?
I know if the Accounting Cost center uses the Freight GL, we can specify the Cost Center in FB50, so that is not a big concern.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Sunil,
Thanks for your response. I tried go to VL02N and selected the line item and then went to 'GOTO'-- 'Header' --'Financial Processing'. I don't see a field 'Cost Center'. All I see are the following:
Billing block
Billing status
Totals status
Paym.guar.proc.
Financ.doc.no.
Opening date
Validity end
Billing Date
Billing date
Depreciation
PresentDate
Number of days
But if I select the item, won't the whole cost of the item be sent to the cost center? I am trying to just get the Freight charged on the item to get posted to the Shipping/Warehouse Cost center.
Please advise.
Thanks.

WIP assets has wrong Cost Centers/Profit Centers

Hi Experts,
There are several WIP (AuC) assets created after releasing the WBS Elements.
Ideally the WIP assets should have the Cost Center/Profit Center similar to the ones in the WBS Elements.
However the assets have different CC/PC than the WBS Elements.
We cannot change the Cost centers in asset master manually as there are postings done and depreciation ran on these assets.
Please suggest if we need to change the Cost Centers in all the assets or is there any other solution to this issue??
Thanks in advance

Hello Experts,
Please share your suggestions on the above issue...
Thanks..

Report for cost centers when using MVT 261

Guru's,
Most of the request for material for our storerooms are done through a work order and issued out using MVT 261. We're trying to find a report that shows the cost centers used when using MVT 261. I've tried using MB51 and MVT 261 but no cost centers populate. When I use MB51 and MVT 201 for reservations created manually there's no problem, all cost centers are populated.
Thanks
Eric

Hi,
The movement 261 is for Issue to Order & no issue to Cost Center, hence you have the problem.
You will get only the order number is case of 261.

In OKC7 you can define validations to check the relationship in CO and FI postings. You can use exit RGGBR001 for custom code. You could set this relationship up in a table and then check that.
pts appreciated.

Cost centers transportation

Hi,
Here is a small clarification regarding Cost Centers when i create cost centers the request is not displaying only the at the status line cost center saved message is comming.
Where it is storing how i should transport to quality or some thing..
pls advice me ..
Reg.
Pandu

You can transport all CO Master Data including reports etc.
in the IMG follow the menu path:
Controlling->General Controlling->Production Start-Up Preparation->Transport System Settings->Transport Settings for Master Data
You have to specify Controlling area and Chart of accounts
Normally Master data is sort of static data (that means that it is a changing dynamically unlike GL accounts which is more stable) and unless your project methodology is to create these first in your development system first then transport.
I personally would do this once bulk of master data has been created and transport once only to to a client since the transport will first delete an entry and try to create again, may have issues with this.
Sometimes you will be forced to create this type of data (cost centers, profit centers, activity types etc) in the Configuration client if you need to make settings in OKB9 or 3KEH etc.
Hope this helps

Create cost centers under a center

Hi Gurus
Can someone help me with this issue.
My PP colleague wants to have three cost centers C1,C2,C3 created under Cost center A. The three cost centers represent robots used in production. He wants to have production of these robots roll up to cost center A. My problem is I cannot remember how to create a cost center under another cost center, let alone three of them under the same cost center.
Please help asap

Hi
There is no such feature in SAP.. You can just have a Cost center group (KSH1) for reporting purposes.. There is no concept of Cost cneter under a Cost center

Cost centers in assets + JVA

Cost Centers Date

Dear Experts;
The FI consultant has created the cost centers with the Go Live date, and as you know the employees are hired from a previous period, so I have to create the positions with the hiring date.
So I've created the positions with starting date 01.01.1990, while the cost ceneters are from 01.07.2011, so whenever i'm trying to assign a cost center to a postion it gives me a msg stating that the cost center doesn't exist with that period.
And there is no option for the FI to change the cost centers date, he just has to delete the current ones and create new ones with another date.
Do you ahve another solution for that?
Regards;
Lobna

Hi Lobhna,
As a practice positions and cost center should have the same date if position date is go-live date then it would have been fine.
To avoid this issue all employees are hired in 9999999 default position and before Go-live there is an action Named as Go-live data upload where the actual positions of the person are assigned from the date of Go-live.
One is hiring action with D.O.J of employee and then another action Go-live data upload which sets a cut-off date for Masterdata that all masterdata will be valid from the Go-live date onwards.
In your case if you have already done the Hiring action with actual position, then ask FI if he can delete and re-create the cost centers from date of Go-live and if not then you can delete the assignement of the position with the person in po13, you can do this through LSMW or BDC. After deleting assignment you have to delete the positions through PO13 LSMW.
Then Re-create the positions again with the Go-live date and assign to Person.
All this through LSMW PO13.
Hope this helps.

Prabha

Assigning Cost Centers to Automatic postings

Hi,
We have a situation where we want to make the 'cost center' field a required field, for all GL postings.
However, If I just change the the config setting in the field status code, there are automatic postings from SD, MM etc. that may be blocked from being posted.
I did some searching around the forums, but I can't find a way to address this issue. For a goods movement, the system can assign a GL account number using the account determination. But is there also a way to assign Cost Centers to these postings?
Does OKB9 handle these postings from MM/SD? Or is it only for automatic postings such as exchange rate differences and tax?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Sam

hi Sam,
OKB9 handles any automatic postings (MM, SD, etc.), just give it a try! Of course it only works for P/L accounts, not for B/S ones. It does not make much sense to post controlling objects on B/S accounts (at least for me).
