Cost center Group & Assessment cycle

We are running CC reports for CC groups X and Y - Report GR55, Report group 1000 - Run in both currencies Pesos and USD by running in both currency modes.
Requirement:
1) How can we see the net balance in CC reports after assessments out = 0 in both Pesos and USD currencies.
2) Where we can see the link between Cost center Group and Assessment cycle.
Thanks,
Raju

Hi,
1) You will see the credit entries in the report after the assessment is run. Here, report should have configured in such a way, you can see both debit and credit entries.
2) If you have assigned the KSB1 Actual cost line report to the report, you can doubte click and see from which cost centers the values have flown through assessment.
Trust this helps much!
Cheers!

Cost Centre Distribution by Percentage in a Contract

Hi,
In a PO, it is possible to split the costs of one item to multiple cost centres using distribution by percentage function in account assignment tab.
I need the same process in creation of contract, so an item can have costs split to multiple cost centres. I cannot find a way to do this, contract only seems to give one cost centre option.
Has anyone any thoughts on how to achieve this?
Thanks.

In ME31K select the item , go to Item -- Account assignments enter the first account assignment object then choose the Change display option. Here you can enter multiple account assignments.
Cheers

Distribution and Assessment Cycles

Could anyone tell me the difference between distribution and assessment cycles?

hi,
in distribution the original primary costs are sent from the sender to the receiver. thus the original costs can be seen in the receiving cost centre.
in assessment the primary costs are assigned to a secondary cost element in an Allocation structure and the secondary cost elements are seen in the receiving cost centre
assign points if useful.

OM - Multiple Cost Centres link with Org Unit/Position not to employee

Hello gurus,
In OM there can only be one relationship at a time between an organizational unit and cost centre (A011). For those areas where there is a requirement for the position to have control over more than one cost centre, there are multiple options.
Option 1 - If only one of the cost centres is used for employee cost incurrence, this should be the main cost centre, and the others controlled through authorizations.
Option 2 - If more than one cost centre is used for employee cost incurrence, a subordinate organizational unit is created into which those positions are placed. In this scenario, the subordinate organizational units would not have a chief, and the reporting structure would go up to the more senior organizational units.
Option 3 - Use Cost centre distribution infotype 1018 (A014)
My question: is there a standard way through which we can show multiple cost centres attached to a position/org unit such that cost incurred by employees goes to master cost centre attached to org unit or positon and other cost centres are just attached to position/orgunit (just to show the org unit/position is managing these other cost centres as well).
Any thoughts? Anybody has used Enterprise Organization in CO to achieve this?
Regards,
Ahmad

To capture more than 1 cost center, you have to specify them in IT-1018 but employee's cost will be split based on this.
For data maintanance alone cost distribution is not possible (based on my knowledge).
May be equivalent custom infotype similar to 1018 @ Postiion / Org Unit level may work.
along with Master Cost center.

Distribution Cycle: Cost Centre is a mandatory field for GL Acct

hello,
When I am executing the distribution cycle in FAGLGA35 in update mode I am getting the error (Message no. F5808) "Field Cost Ctr is a required field for G/L account xxxxxx" as detailed below:
Field Cost Ctr is a required field for G/L account 2050 599030
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 "599030" in company code "2050" linked to the field selection for posting key "40".
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.
As per the Field Status Group assigned to the master data of this GL Account, cost centre is an required entry. Further I am not able to change the Field status Group of this GL since this GL acct contains some balance.
Could someone please help me on how to overcome this issue.
Regards,
Lavanya

Hello Ravi,
Thanks for your response.
I have tried the option you have provided but user donot want to use the OKB9 option and neither she wants to change the field status group of the GL Acct by which Cost Centre can made an optional field.
Can you please tell me if we can integrate a cost center in the distribution cycle so that the allocation can be done also for accounts for which a cost center is mandatory ? We can define a cost centre that will be used only for this allocation and that will be the same for all the accounts.
Request your inputs on this.

Lavanya

Difference between Costing Sheet and Assessment & Distribution Cycle.

Hello Co Experts
I need to understand the exact difference bewteen Costing sheet and Assessment dictribution cycles and their use for applying overhead cost to cost object especially Project WBS. Kind request to illustrate the preference of these two functionalityover each other with respect to business scenarios.
Best Regards
Adwait A Deshpande
help.sap.com

Hi Deshpande,
The purpose of both are completely different.
Assessment or Distribution cycles are used to transfer cost from the service/utility cost centers to the Production cost centers.
Where as Costing sheet is a tool where you configure how system should calculate Production, Material ,Administration & Selling&Distribution in Product costing.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,

Cost centre assemment cycle

Dear all,
Question on Cost Center Assessment Cycle:
Controlling environment: only one controlling area with several company codes.
In my standard hierarchy we've got some nodes with cost centre from different company codes in the same node.
I would like to transfer cost from one node to another node via an assessment cycle.
So I activated company code in header data as selection criteria for cost center assessment cycle via Tcode KCIU.
This selection criteria will allow SAP to sort cost centre and only takes the one which will correspond to company code selected.
The sender rule is the "posted amount" and the receiver rule is the "percentage".
Once cycle has been created, I click on the check icon and the check was successful.
When I execute it, SAP warns me that "no valid sender entries were found". The message errors numbers are GA749 and GA710. And those messages correspond to FI message and not CO.
I do not understand because there are posted amounts and all cost centers exist with the good period of validity.
Do you know why? Do you have an explanation?
Is it really possible to activate some news criteria selection for cost centre assessment cycle? Or definitively not possible.
Did I forget any else customizings?
Best regards
Sovann leng

You have two directions to resolve this issue:
1- check TCODE GCA8 and check whether the new GL tables are listed or added specially the FAGLFLEXT
2- You probably need to change the From To periods in the selection parameters. Don't make the From To the same period.
Make sure the Settlement profile is configured appropriately. With a bit of trial and error concerning the GCA8 including defining a new Cycle with another segment, and it'll work.

Functional Area derivation as obligatory checkbox in Cost Center distribution cycle?

Dear All,
We are using Cost of Sales accounting with FI-CO online integration. Derivation of Functional Area for Cost Center assessment cycles is an obligatory indicator. Nevertheless I may create Cos Center distribution cycles without this option (what affects FI-CO online integration). Can anybody explain a system logic behind it?
Can I set Functional Area derivation as an obligatory checkbox for Cost Center distribution cycles too?
Bartlomiej Seidel

Hi,
I have searched for any useful note, but without result so far. The point is that any new distribution or assessment cycle (cost centers) in our company must work with Functional Area derivation (than FI-CO online integration works correctly). With our current SAP setup I must select this indicator for every assessment cycle - it is obligatory. But is not obligatory for distribution cycles - and I don't know why?
I would like to protect everybody from crating distribution cycles without FA derivation indicator (like it works now for assessment cycles). How may I do it?
Bart

Distribution criteria list in Assessment cycle takes time

Dear Peers,
When I click the tab 'Receiver Tracing factors' of the COPA Cost Center cycles, a dialog 'Distribution criteria list' which asks for one more selection for confirming the receiver parameters. After selecting all of them, it takes very long time but in vain.
In my case, I want to allocate the selling overheads on the basis for those products with particular batch, say, which starts with say '1' by giving the range as 1AAAAAA TO 1ZZZZZZZ. This '1' denotes one of the manufacturing plants. Hence, I want to pick up the batches which have been sold across the company code in other plants as well as in depots numbering 100+. I had already created the summarization levels and now I had refreshed it but it has no effect on it. Do we need to create seperate summarization level manually for this and how? Is there any thing other than summarization, we need to do?
Regards,
Ashok singh

Hi Ashok
Summ levels can be used in Assessment cycles... Your "Distribution List" tab might take time to finish...
However, I would ask you to assess your req once again... This level of allocation is more likely to cause performance issues
however, if no of docs in COPA is not much, then you need not worry
What worries me is that you cant use non-segment level chars as receivers in COPA assessment cycle.. have you specified BATCH No as segment level char in KEQ3? If yes, please undo it.. Else, you are going to face a nightmare situation

Assessment Cycle VS Distribution Cycle

Hello Frds,
I am having tough time to know difference between Assessment Cycle VS Distribution Cycle.
1) Steps to Define these Cycles
2) Simple Scenarios would be great help
I understand that Distribution is used to allocate Primary costs and Assessment is used to allocate Primary and secondary costs.
Appreciate your help!
Jag

Hi,
The main difference between Assessment cycle and Distribution cycle is - in case of Assessment we use secondary cost element.
An example to highlight the difference is as under:
Common Costs incurred for example for Factory Cafeteria are booked to Cost Center - Z using primary cost element 400100 (Amount $ 100). During period end closing the costs are be allocated to Cost Centers A, B and C in the ratio of 50%, 20% and 30% respectively.
Distribution:
Sender Rule: Posted Amounts
Sender Cost Center - Z
Sender Cost Element - 400100
Receiver Cost Centers are A, B and C
In Receiving Tracing factor - we specify the percentages for each cost center.
When distribution cycle is executed. Cost Center Z will be credited by $ 100 and Cost Center A, B and C will be debited with $50, $20 and $30. All the postings will be made using the primary cost element 400100.
Assessment:
<b>Assessment Cost Element: 600100</b>.
Sender Rule: Posted Amounts
Sender Cost Center - Z
Sender Cost Element - 400100
Receiver Cost Centers are A, B and C
In Receiving Tracing factor - we specify the percentages for each cost center.
When assessment cycle is executed. Cost Center Z will be credited by $ 100 and Cost Center A, B and C will be debited with $50, $20 and $30.
In Assessment all the postings will be made using Assessment Cost Element - which is secondary cost element.
The advantage of Assessment is the original postings made to the primary cost element are retained.
In this example, if we execute a report for Cost Center Z for Cost Element 400100, we can still display the values. If we execute the report for cost element 400100 and 600100 together, the value will be zero.
Hope this clarifies.
Thanks
Murali.

(KP97) Copy All Secondary Costs and Assessment cycles to Another Version

Does anybody know if transaction KP97 is capable of copying all planned secondary costs residing on a cost center from one version to another? The only secondary cost we have been able to copy are the activity allocations. We would like to be able to copy Overheads, Settlements and Assessments from one version to another.
Does anybody know of any SAP functionality that will allow you to copy assessment cycles in CO from one version to another? Currently everytime we create a new version we have to recreate the assessment cycles in the new version...it sure would save us a lot of time if we could copy them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey,
I currently encounter the same problem, but I do not have the solution...
I can tell you the following: <i>"If you want the plan allocation data (such as assessment or distribution) to also be available in the target version, you need to make the corresponding allocations in the target version. You need to create the cycles in the target version. You can reference the cycles in the source version for this".</i> This is the official explanation of the SAP Help website.
The copying of secondairy postings from settlements should be possible, but the copying of figures which result from settlements do not work when I run transaction KP97...
You can find the information on the underneath location.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/08/514c8743b511d182b30000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
I hope this can help you a bit.
I hope others will give there opinion, so we can solve this problem.

Assessment Cycle(KSU5) - Allocating Cost for Only One Month

Hi,
I want to allocate cost relating 2008 from cost centres to WBS. For that I'm trying run the assessment cycle(ksu5). The test results shows allocation of cost for the month of Sep2008. i.e It doesn't allocate cost that are posted before sep and after september though the cost centre has costs from Apr 2008. My Assessment cycle period starts from 01.04.2008 and is valid for the whole year till 31.03.2009. I've 3 WBS elements to which the costs for the whole year has to be posted according to the no. of hours. Among 3WBS one is created in the month of Apr 2008 and the other is created in Aug 2008 and the last one is create in Dec 2008.
So Can anyone tell me why the cost is not posted for all the months.
Thanks in Advance
Harikrishnan L G

Hi,
Please check the Cumulative indicator in the Assessment Cycle definition. If the Cycle is not cumulative then it would not include costs of earlier month for allocation.
Go to - KSU2 and in the Header screen you will find the check box called Cumulative.
While executing the cycle through KSU5 in the selection screen you will have to specify period from and period to. It will automatically consider all costs upto the period.
Thanks,
Sanjib

Difference between Distribution and Assessment cycle

Hi,
Can any one help me regarding the above(Difference between Distribution and Assessment cycle)
Thanks in advance
Rajani

HI,
Assessment:
Assessment was created to transfer primary and secondary costs from a sender cost center to receiving controlling objects. During assessment, cost centers or business processes can be used as senders .n The receivers for an assessment can be a cost center, WBS element, internal order, cost object, or a
business process. You can restrict the number of receiver categories in customizing. n Primary and secondary postings are allocated at the end of the period by means of the user-defined
key.
n During assessment, the original cost elements are summarized into assessment cost elements
(secondary cost element category = 42). As the system writes fewer totals records, the assessment
has a better performance than periodic reposting and distribution.
n Line items are posted for the sender as well as for the receiver, enabling the allocation to be recorded
exactly. The system does not display the original cost elements in the receivers. Therefore,
assessment is useful if the cost drilldown for the receiver is not important, for example, as in the case
of the allocation for the "cafeteria" cost center.
n Similar to distribution, the partner is updated in the totals record during distribution.
n You can reverse assessments as often as required.
n You use the Cycle -Segment method to define sender-receiver relationships.
Distribution:
Differences between periodic reposting and distribution are due to information content and
performance.
n For periodic reposting, no separate credit record is written on the sender for the cost element in the
summary report. Instead, the totals record for the cost element is reduced on the debit side, which
means that the original debit amount can no longer be checked there ("unclean credit"). However,
during distribution, the system writes a totals record for the credit ("clean credit"). The information
on the receiver is the same for periodic reposting and distribution ("clean debit").
n Compared with periodic reposting, during distribution, the system also updates the partner in the
totals record for the sender. This means that the partner can be displayed in the information system
on the totals record level.
n As fewer totals records are written during periodic reposting, performance is better than during
distribution. See customizing for an example with figures that illustrates this aspect. Under utilities,
make settings for the SAPscript text display, then call up the text by choosing Periodic reposting,
Distribution, or Assessment from the menu.

Meenakshi
