Cost Distributions in Time Module

Hi:
We would like to create a report that would allow Managers the ability to retrieve all hours charged to their cost centre for a period selected.
In order to do this we need the ability to search for all cost distributions by cost centre per a selection screen.
Is there a table in SAP other than the C1 table in the B2 Cluster that maintains all cost distributions by employee by day?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Judith

Hours not populated in the Table C1 (Cost Distribution) in Time Evaluation

Hi All,
I am entering Time info along with the Reciever Cost Center, Internal Order and other info in the CATS Time sheet and transferring the saved details to HR Time Mgmt & CO. Later when I run Time Evaluation (PT60 using schema TM00) for the person his Cost Distribution info is getting populated in the Table C1.
Then when I go to the Time Evaluation Results Table (B2 Cluster) thru transaction PT66 and want to check the details for the employee under C1. I see all the Reciever Cost Center, Internal Order info. I double click on the TReciver Cost Center to see how many hours getting charged to it, it shows 0.000
even thogh I had entered 4.00 hours against the Reciever Cost center in CATS.
Can someone direct me in a step by step way as to how to overcome this anamoly.
Your suggestions are highly welcome.
Regards,
Aslam

Hi,
I hope you are using transaction CATA to transfer to HR and Controlling.
When you transfer entries from CATS to HR to which Infotype the hours get transfered?
Could you clarify me on this?

Function module to read cost distribution (IT0027/HRP1018)

Hi
Can anybody tell me the name(s) of funtion module(s) that reads cost distribution first from IT0027 and if nothing found - then from HRP1018. I know there must be such FM, because this is how eg. AdHoc Query reads the cost distribution data.
/kirsten

Hi Kibo,
Try FM
- HR_COST_DISTRIBUTION_GET
- RH_COST_DISTRIBUTION_OF_OBJECT.

Travel Cost Distribution

We are having two company codes here, 1000 and 2000. Employees belong
to either of them. If an employee belongs to company code 1000, and he
makes allocation of his cost 100% to a cost centre that belongs to
company code 2000, we are having no problem in posting of expenses.
This we are handling by maintaining the cost centre belonging to 2000,
in the Infotype 17 of that employee.
However with the same employee belonging to comapny code 1000, if he
does cost allocation 50% to his master cost centre which belongs to
company code 1000 and 50% to a cost centre that belongs to company code
2000, we are facing error in posting.
Is this possible in Travel Management or it
is to be handled in FI module manually . If possible in Travel
Management, please help on achieving this

Hi Friends and Guru's,
I have a smilar issue related to travel management assignment of travel cost to different cost centre and different company code more details as below:
We have two company codes 1000 on one COA1 (Chart of Account) and Controlling area COA1 and another company code is on different COA2(Chart of Account) and Controlling Area COA2 and all employees are created in Company code 1000 and we do not have any employees created in Company Code 2000. Issue is business wants to allocate some travel done on 2000 should go to company code 2000, I have tried to change option in Infotype0017 and tried to play around Infotype 0027 subtype 02 cost distribution option no luck for sucess.
I would like to know your expert advice that do i need to create all employees in Company code 2000 and do i need to re-config Travel management along with GL mapping to 2000 or any substitute way to resolve this issue.
Your inputs much appriciated.

Srini

Cost distribution within the group companies

Hi Experts ,
Need your thoughts on what would be the best approach for the scenario explained below :
We have a parent company and three other companies within the group. In total 4 company codes. There are some expenses which are booked under parent company and should be later (at month end ) to be distributed at fixed % to the other 3 companies within the group as during the time of entry it is not feasible to separate the transaction at co code level or is time consuming activity. In what way we can distribute such cost and ensure it reflects in FI reporting also so that P&L shows correct distributed values. Also there are some assets which are commonly shared by all the assets so the depreciation also needs to be shared with the companies in the group. ECC 6.0 being implemented . I tried using distribution but is not giving desired result.
Thanks
Sunil

Hi Sunil Mane,
What cost objects distribution between different company codes?
T-CODE:OKKP Have you selected cross-company-code cost accounting? I think this is a preconditon of cost distribution between different company codes.

Can a cost distribution line have multiple invoice distributions?

I have a functional question. Is is possible to have multiple invoice distribution for a single cost distribution line?
I mean, if we join PA.PA_COST_DISTRIBUTION_LINES_ALL AND AP.AP_INVOICE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL, will we get multiple invoice distributin lines for a cost distribution line.
Thanks,
Upendra

Hi,
It is technically not possible for one CDL to map to multiple invoice distributions. In 11i the joins are: cdl.system_referece2 = apd.invoice_id, and cdl.system_reference_3 = apd.distribution_line_num, and a combination of (invoice_id, distributioncd_line_number) would always give you only one AP Invoice distribution. In R12, the mapping is EI.document_header_id = APD.invoice_distribution_id and one invoice_distribution_id can point to only one AP Invoice Distribution.
Multiple CDLs for a single AP Invoice Distribution: Yes, this is possible.
1. When an AP Invoice distribution is imported into Projects and adjustments are carried out in Projects for the imported line and then the PRC: Distribute Supplier Adjustments process, then at this point of time multilple CDLs map to a particular AP distribution. Now, when PRC: Interface Supplier Adjustments to Payables is run, the adjusted transactions create new AP distributions.
2. For a CDL, there can be 'C' and 'D' lines, which would carry the same attributes as the 'R' line, hence we can say there are multiple CDLs for a single AP distribution.
Thanks,
Prabhjeet

HR Cost Distribution Reporting in BW

All,
I have a question in regards to cost center cost distribution and the ability to report accurately any distribution changes. My situation is more specific to HR positions and cost distributions changing over time.
Example of reporting requirement:
Given an entire calendar year there is a need to calculate the salary costs per cost center A and B. For the first six months, Position 1 is assigned to CC A for 50% and CC B for 50%. The last six months Position 1 is assigned to CC A 100%.
How is it possible to accurately calculate each CC's salary cost for a given year?
Note: For a given position an employee is assigned and has a specified annual salary.
Thanks,
DC

Yes, as there you'll receive costs according to set rules (or you'll see that rules are not correctly applied and will have to go back to R/3 and see why )
EDIT:
Don't know if you'll have the HR position available (maybe in line item datasource) but you'll definitely have the salary amount by month and cost center.

COST DISTRIBUTION on OVERTIME

Hi All,
We have a issue in cost distribution on overtime. We use FLSA Overtime calculation in time. The OT is calculated after meeting the thershold and OT payment is paid in PY. Since the time is passing the accumulated numbers as wage type after thershold is met, we are loosing the cost allocation in Payroll.The attendence is entered in CAT2 as 24hrs format. If the employee knows that the OT belongs to different Cost, then the Employee enters the hours based upon the Cost center.
Finally when it comes out -of Time evaluation, everything is lost after thershold is met by FLSA standards.
Query 1. how to capture the Cost distribution for overtime hours in FLSA overtime calculation.
Thanks in Advance
arbindo

Hi Krish...
Very first thanks for your reply. Answer to your reply is ...there are chances for both.technically speaking multiple cost centers can be there for Overtime worked. since the WS is open sun to sat ,workimg hours are 00 to 24 hours employee can be called by different agenicies/ costcenters to work at any time.
In that case how to capture the CC after thershold.

Infoset query of vendor payments at the cost distribution level

We would like an infoset query of vendor payments at the cost distribution level of the document. The issue seems to be joining vendor to the document cost distribution lines.
1.) BSAK + BSIK can be combined with an infoset data structure but only contain the vendor line of a document; the cost distribution lines are not in the tables.
2.) BSIS + BSAS can be combined with an infoset data structure but lack vendor data and joins (to a vendor source) are not an option with data structures. Vendor data added with an additional field is too slow to be a primary selection field.
3.) Logical data base KDF in an infoset returns only the vendor line of a document, not the cost distribution lines.
4.) Logical data base BRM in an infoset can have vendor from BSAK/BSIK attached by an additional field but performance is too slow to be useful. Joins are not an option in a logical data base infoset.
5.) Complete data is lacking when table joins between document cost distribution tables and vendor data tables are possible, (SPL actual line item table & BSIP or FMIFIIT & FMIFIHD). BSIP lacks AB documents (reversals). FM tables lack general ledger only documents.
6.) BSAK and BSIK together have complete vendor data but joins of both to a basis table do not work well. Left outer joins are too slow, inner joins won’t work since the tables have mutually exclusive data.
It would be ideal to have vendor in BKPF, like FMIFIHD has, but it isn't a field.
Does anyone know of any other options? I have seen the helpful thread on How to Read BSEG Efficiently

Refresh problem in Shopping Cart and PO in cost distribution in SRM 7.0

Hi ,
As of now we are working in SRM 7.0. Actually when we are changing the account assignment cateogary from WBS to Asset then the cost distribution need to be changed from Percentage to quantity and vice-versa. But this is not happening .
Can somebody hlp on this if you guys came across such issue.
Regards,
Kalyani

Kalyani
Cost distribution will not change automatically when you change the account assignment category. You will ve to distribute it manually on the same lines as you did for Cost Center earlier

Real-Time Module architecture

Hi, (I use LV RT DSC 8.2.1)
I want to learn how to use the Real-Time Module.
I have process that is running at a Real Time compact Field Point Target.
The process should be controlled and monitored by the Target but the triggering of the process should be available at the Host.
I also want to view the Process progression at the Host screen.
As far as I understand it I have several options :
Create a RT FIFO buffer and send the process data to that buffer, and then, use 'TCP Write' to send the buffer data to the Ethernet Network, where it is available to any Host PC at the Ethernet Network to view (by using TCP Read)
Create a Variable in the Project, and enable his RT FIFO at his properties.
Control the process at the Target with Shared Variables and read them at the Host.
Option 3 is the option I have been using so far, ignoring the RT property of the controllers, what are the advantages of using RT module ?
and when should I consider using them ?
What is the difference between 1 and 2 and what are their advantages ?
What important things do I need to consider when I use RT Module (just several tips if possible) ?
Sincerely Yours, Amitai Abramson.

Hi Amitai,
You could go through this link to know more about RT FIFO and its use. http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3934
and this for communication wizard http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4676

Error while doing cost distribution

Hi all:
while I am trying to do cost distribution , a message comes that
Cycle DOFF is not valid on 11/01/2008
Message no. GA509
Diagnosis
Cycle DOFF is valid as of the starting date 04/14/2009
System response
This cycle cannot be processed.
Could you please tell me how solve the issue ?
Thank you very much

Hi,
The error is because you have created Cycle DOFF with the starting date 04/14/2009 & you are trying to run the distribution cycle for November 2008.
For which period do you want to run the cycle?
1) If it is for April 2009, then enter the correct period & year when executing the cycle.
2) If it is for November 2008, then you will have to increase the validity of the cycle. I dont think you can change the start date of a cycle. You could however create a new cycle with validity period Nov 2008 to Dec 9999 by copying the cycle DOFF & only changing the start & end date. Then execute this new cycle.

Cost distribution SRM to R/3 - based on VALUE

Hi all,
We are working on SRM 5.0 and R/3 4.7.,ECS
In shopping cart when the cost dsitirbution is sleected as "VALUE",when the corresponding SRM PO replicates to R/3,the cost distribution always changes to percentage/quantity....Why is that R/3 system recognises the cost distribution only for quantity or percentage???
Also we are now upgrading iur R/3 system to ECC 6.0.Is the above issue resolved in ECC or still persists in ECC 6.0 too???
Has anybody encountered the above issue??Please share experiences.

I am curious as to if you got this resolved. When we upgraded, I was hoping that we would finally get to use distribute by value between SRM and SAP without it converting over to percentages. I have worked with OSS and the discussion forum to come up with a resolution but no luck yet.
