Cost centers

Hi,
I have the following problem:
I need to delete our cost center standard heirarchy, which has been transported to the new system without its cost centers. In the heirarchy, the name of each cost center appears, but there are no cost centers created. I can't erase these cost centers, but when I try to erase a cost center group, I get a message saying that I can't delete it because it has cost centers assigned to it.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
many thanks in advance

Open PO report with GL's and Cost Centers

Hi Gurus,
Is there a report that already exists where we can run open purchase
orders not received for non-inventory items that pulls the quantity,
price, GL account code, and cost center account code?
Thanks
Anusha

Hi,
May be the requirement will not be met in a single report.Please check the t code ME2K with selection parameter as we101 which gives you the open POs for that cost center or range of cost centers.
EKPO gives price details.
and check the table EKKN for GL account and cost center for that PO.
If you want open POs check the T code ME80FN.

Currency in 'Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance' report for specific user

Hi there CO people, I'd like to ask about currency settings in CO S_ALR_87013611 report (Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance)
The question is ... where can I define the currency in which report output should be displayed?
I've got such situation, that amounts for USER_X are displayed in CURR_X currency, whilst for USER_Y amounts in report are displayed in CURR_Y currency.
Could You tell me some tip? Or give some literature-track to follw? I'd be thankful for help. Greetings. P.

USER_X -> TCode: RPC0 -> Tab: Report currency -> Tick 'Objeck currency' (Before was: 'Controlling area currency')
now USER_X has got the same currency as USER_Y
That solved my problem
Greetings

Statistical Internal Orders - How can i charge to multiple cost centers

In the master data for the statistical internal orders, I am only able to enter one cost center in the 'Actual Posted Cctr' field. Is there a way to have multiple cost centers and the allocation % for each cost center (similar to the settlement rules on regular internal orders)?
thanks!

Hiya,
OKB9 works by assigning multiple Cost Centres to the Company Code + GL combination. However, I don't believe OKB9 is your solution - for the simple reason that you wish to post the information to multiple CCtrs, along with posting it to this Statistical IO.
In my opinion, you may have to delete the Actual Cost Centre assignment and, at the time of document posting, assign the True CCtr as well as this IO, or look for a User Exit that will trigger flows to multiple CCtrs along with this IO.
The other option is to make this a real posting to this IO (change the IO from statistical to real), and then settle this cost to multiple CCtrs. As long as it stays statistical, you don't have the liberty of settling the cost.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

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.

How to find the list of cost centers reporting to a particular employee

Hi Experts,
I have to create one report in Java Web Dynpro. In the report, I have to display all cost centers reporting to a paricular employee. For example suppose Vice President of company has pernr 6481. From pa20, we quickly find out that his cost center is say 1209000. Now the Vice President has several reporting cost centers. For example one cost center will be for Marketing Deptt, other may be of HR deptt.
Please let me know how I can find out that what all cost centers are reporting to pernr 6481(Vice Preseident)
Regards,
Gary

Hi Pradeep,
Thanks for email. In my project name has been maintained in CSKS-VERAK. However this name does not matches exactly with the name of pa20 (HR). It looks like SAP has not provided data integrity between HR name and CSKS-VERAK. It seems that while creating cost center, the user enters name in his own way. For example "Al-Fahad Malki" can be written in "Malki Fahad-Al" or "Malki Fahad" or "Al-Malki Fahad". The name of user in pa20 may be "Al-Fahad M". So it is not possible for us to use solution provided by you.
Hi Pradeep, SDN Users,
I have used following logic for getting cost centers for given pernr.
1) Take pernr as input. Exexute RFC HRWPC_RFC_OADP_GET_NAVOBJECTS. While executing RFC pass following values:
a. OBJSEL - MSS_TMV_EE_ORG1
b. Begda u2013 Today date
c. Ends u2013 Today date
d. User u2013 pernr
e. Cachemaxage - -1
2) Then program should read the value of OBJID from HRWPC_RFC_OADP_GET_NAVOBJECTS output.
3) After this program should read value from HRP1001 for following condition
PLVAR = 01
OBJID = OBJID of step 2
RELAT = u2018011u2019 and
RSIGN = u2018Au2019 and
(check todayu2019s date is >= begda and <= endda ) and
SCLAS = u2018Ku2019 u2026 and
SOBJID = first 10 charactersu2026
The cost center will be first 10 characters of SOBJID.
4) Return the Cost Center as derived in step 3. The cost center name and cost center name both should be returned as the output.
5) Sort the Cost Centers in ascending order of Cost Center name, if needed.

Gary

Copy a group of cost centers from one controlling area to another

Hello,
is it possible to copy a group of cost centers from one controlling area to another?
Or a group of internal orders?
Thanks
Jasmina

No. If you used any upload tools like LSMW, perhaps you may use that for uploading the second controlling area.

Automation for actual input of utility rate in Production Cost centers

Dear All,
Currently we have a process where we are downloading actual rates through KSII for each location and rates calculated are inputed through KBK6 for all individual production cost centers by activities ,so my requirement is whether there is any procedure where downloading and uploading can be eliminated and actual rates calculated by system directly loads on to the production cost centers.
Kindly provide any suggestions
Thanks and Regards
vijay

Hi,
If u run KSII, system will give a message "Do you want to post the results of price calculation?" if u click on YES , it will automatically update in your KBK6. Pl. Check once.

What are the tables involved in hierarchy of cost centers?How to link them?

I want to generate the report for the GFIMs attached o the cost centers.
It should be similar to the transaction OKENN .
if a cost center is having an hiearchy , a cost group then will go on taking the parent node till the last node.
Which are the tables used in the transaction OKENN?
which are the tables which links the hierarchy of the cost centers.How is it linked.

It is a simple process to trace the transaction (ST05/SE30) and discover the information for yourself...

Multiple cost centers postings in RE-FX.

Hello everyone!
We are currently implementing SAP Flexible Real Estate solution to manage the company's properties. We are facing some problems regarding the distribution of rental costs among multiple costs centers. Our scenario is basically this (example):
1)In our usage view we have one building with three rental spaces connected to it. Each rental space has different area-measurements and represents different segments in our company (with a specific cost-center associated to it).
2)The company doesn`t own the building, the structure is rented from a person outside the organization. In this case we`ve created a Commercial lease-in type of contract (external contract, where the company is the user of the object).
3)This contract contains the three rental spaces mentioned above, and we've configured the contract condition to distribute the rental costs among these objects based on the area measurement.
4)When we perform transaction RERAPP for this contract to pay the vendor we`ve noticed that even though the costs where divided among the objects, the cost-centers were not updated.
Considering that the contract doesn't have a cost center field in it and also considering that we have to update multiple cost-centers (with a distribution criteria based on measurements), we would like to know if someone have this kind of problem before?
We are using an older version of the SAP System(4.7) that doesn't offer as many options as more recent versions (such as 6.0)
Thanks a lot!
Gizele Bueno

Hi,
In this case, instead of Cost centres, Real estate Objects will act as the Cost carriers. No need for Cost centres at all.
Since the Real Estate Objects master data contain Profit centre field, the values posted to Real estate Objects will be automatically carried to the Profit centres as well.
During Periodic processing of Real Estate Contracts, the system will automatically post to the Transfer and Posting. During transfer posting values will be posted from Real Estate Contract to the Real estate Object.
You can track costs and revenues through Real Estate Objects directly, No need for Cost centres at all.
Thanks
Siva

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.

Problems after transfering Cost centers with LSMW

Hi,
I have a problem after transfering Cost Centers with LSMW.
The first Batch input run created all cost centers in one CC Group erroneously - cause they should be placed in different CC groups.
I changed LSMW settings and made another batch input run - now the Cost centers were created in proper groups. I think that I deleted all CC's created in previous batch input run, but now I am not too sure, because there is a problem...
Cost centers exist both in their proper groups and in the one group mentioned by me before. So there is such situation that Cost center appears in Standar hierarchy twice at the same time.
When I delete cost centers - they are removed from their proper groups but the CC entry remains in that one group - all CC are there inactive.
How can I get rid of them. I tried deleting them - but it's impossible - the system doesn't see them.
When I run the batch input again - the same cost centers appear in proper groups and at the same time they become active in the one group. The standard hierarchy group is not UNIQE.
Please advice me how to delete these entries from standard hierachy.
Best wishes,
Karol

Hi,
Always recommended before loading into live system: upload in test system and check. check again just to make sure all is correct before real load.
In your case you probably would have been best to do a group change after incorrect upload.
Do Ambiguity check in stadnard hierarchy to explore all incorrect entries. Depending on your version yo ucan change in that function (ECC6) ore need to run a report. Before running the report check that CC master records have correct entry. The report is RKCORRH1
Again, try in QA first and run in Test Run
Good luck

Numbering convention for cost centers

Hi,
1. Can the cost centers be be assigned internal number ranges?
2. Can the cost centers be alpha-numeric to identify between company codes, if few company codes are assigned to 1 controlling area?
Thanks
Sridevi

Hi
Both are correct Cost Centres to manage internal no. range. One Controlling Area can manage morethan one company code.

Balance Upload at golive with WBS or Cost Centers

Hi Gurus,
Appreciate if you can tell me what should be cutover strategy related to initial customer/vendor and GL balances at the time of GO live, specially related to lines related to WBS and Cost Centers?
The current live projects which client is having in the system, how we give those wbs elements in balances templates? How that data will go to cost centers? Will we do project settlement just after uploading data to WBS so that real picture can come in cost centers?
Appreciate if you can please share strategry if we are going live in mid year which is may? and also how to enter p&L items for jan, feb march and april in system, so that client can see their profit and loss?
Thank You
Regards,

Hi,
Please do recording through transaction code SHDB and enter the available WBS element.
Once recording has been done include function module ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE in that so whenever you download file your flat file will have all those fields taken into consideration while recording.
Mr Ajay is right some companies don't take P& L items into consideration as they are not carry forward to the next month, but my advise is that you take into consideration P& L items accountwise as you will need to match legacy Trial Balance and SAP Trial balance i.e. it should be 0 (Debit and Credit). If y ou post entire amount to retained earnings account you will not get individual balance in future GLwise which will result no TB individual G/L wise.
