Cost element and Line item reports show different actual costs

Hi PS experts,
My client has an issue pertaining to actual cost reports. The cost element report shows actual costs $42,000 for one WBS and when I double click to see details the value it shows is $2100. Even when I checked line item report for this WBS the value is $2100. What could be the reason for getting different values? If some one throw some light on this it would be great helpful to me

The values in CJI3 should be correct and will include all postings (e.g. Settlement values) and possibly Actual Revenues unless a filter is in place - so take this as being your correct figure to start with.
Your drilldown will show the same value as CJI3 because it is CJI3
Any cost element report you are using is probably correct for what you are asking - is this a Standard Cost Element Report you are using or is it bespoke
One thing to be careful of when you drilldown on Cost Element Reports is that you do not always get the a make up of the value you have drilled down
e.g.
Cost Element Report was run for Period 1 to 6 2008 and shows £100.00
You drilldown and sometimes the drilldown automatically shows ALL line items e.g £500.00 (not just the values for periods 1 to 6 of 2008 which you may expect £100.00)
In the past I've removed the drilldown capability from bespoke cost element reports to prevent drilldown to the line item report (which is CJI3) because of this problem.
Usually where values for a a number of periods only (not total costs) was required
Other factors to consider
Revenues/Settlements may be excluded from Cost Element Report but will not be excluded from CJI3 unless you specifically restrict
You need to identify which types are postings are missing from the Cost Element Report (what is common...cost element, dr/cr indicator, business transaction)
I've also hit the mistake in the past where I've asked for periods 1 2007 to period 3 2008 and instead of giving me just over a years worth of actual it gave me actuals for periods 1 to 3 for 2007 and 1 to 3 for 2008.
Hope this helps

Header and Line Item reporting (MultiProvider)

Hello All,
We have data coming in from a LO Extractor. There are 2 extractors. 1 for line item the other for Header. The line item extractor has all the fields for both so we decided to use this extractor (the line item).
Question is, when extracting this data multiple records come over. Let's say the order has 2 line items. It brings over a header record and then 2 line item records. We have it going to an ODS and then Cube. The ODS key is order number and item. Well the header record comes over with item number #, so 3 records hit the ODS.
How do you handle this? We saw something about denormalization and make this header record item number a 0.
Can someone explain to us how to handle this? We also read about a Constant selection and loading the header record and line item as we are to both the InfoCube, but we just don't understand this solution.
Please help, Thank you

Item level will have all fields those are in Header level.Header level data will be a subset of Item level data.Load only Item level and when you require header data remove Item number in that relevant DSO and you can see all the data summarized to header level in overwrite mode.
This will not be good option if you require some fields that may have different records in the header and the item.
One better option is create a secondary staging DSO that updated by header, item and schedule line level and you can choose your own data fields and key fields. You can update them in overwrite mode to have summarized records that avoids duplication of records from header and item for same document.
Constant selection wil be helpful in the report level not during load process.

This will ensure total displayed is constant even after navigation. So it hides repetitive records displaying after drilldown.

F.41 and F.43 again gives the periodic and line items...but i want the vendor balances to be in the format given above..
like say, account statement.

0VENDOR_ATTR - Vendor Master Data Attributes
0FI_AP_51 - Check Register Line Items
0FI_AP_4 - Accounts Payable Line Items
It should be noted, however, that this won't get you everything that you need, so you may have to create enhance one or more of these DataSources and create User Exit ABAP code to get the required data. Also, the 0FI_AP_51 DataSource isn't available if your source system isn't ECC6 EHP3 or higher. If your source system is less than that, you're going to have to create a generic DataSource for the data from the PAYR table.

Usage Report and Audit Log report showing different totals

I am trying to understand the differences displayed in two similar reports. The first report is an 'Audit Log' Report and it is displaying the number of Resource Account creations over a time period. The second report is a Usage Report using the exact same criteria (objectType = Resource Account and Action = Create). The totals I get back are VASTLY different. Can anyone explain? Is this a known bug?

Hi,
In any report we don't show the storage policies information. In Cost report if the storage policies have different rate factors then we will show the split for the storage information. But in usage report , rate factors will not be applicable as we don''t show the cost details. Hope this clarifies your question. Please let us know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Lakshmi

Service Order Planned Costs and Cost Center Planned Line Items

Experts,
I am curious of Service Order Planned costs, and whether or not these planned costs are being posted to the Cost Center linked to the Service Order Operation's work center.
I am a but puzzled as I don't see any planned costs from any Service Order Operation in a cost center linked to the Operations work center, when reviewing "Cost Centers: Plan Line Items" report.
BR,
Cenk

The planned costs were input in one of the Service Order operations as planned hours. There is a column for it in the operations list. The amount of hours have incurred a planned cost on the Service Order header.
I simply assumed that this cost would be credited to the Cost Center linked to the operation's Work Center. But that is obviously not the case. I am not familiar with the PLICC field and the functionality it provides.
Thanks!

Line item report on secondary cost element (cat - 21)

Hi Gurus,
Secondary cost element with category 21 is used for internat settlement from order to wbs or wbs to cost center. But can we see line item report on this cost element. Or we cannot see any line item report on this cost element. it is just used for internal settlement purpose.
Please clear this doubt. thank you

Hi Mohit,
I hope you can have line item report @ order and WBS element stright away...
for orders use: KOB1 transaction code for actual line items, where you have the facility of entering CE or CE group to find the vaues related to particular cost elements in the order. If you are flexible with CEs related to 21, give there otherwise create a CE group specific to 21 category and enter the group and find the results you want.
same way for WBS elements/projects: we have transaction code CJI3 for actual line items, here also we can enter CE or CE groups
Not only for actual line items, we have the option of viewing plan line items, budget line items, and commitment line items @ both order and WBS level with different transaction codes other than mentioned above, like KOB2, KOB3, CJI4, CJI2 etc
I hope it helps a lot if I understand your query right
Regards..
Jose

Any Reports show PM Orders Number, GL Number, Cost Element and the amount?

Hi Experts,
Are there any reports that display the PM Orders Number, GL Number, Cost Element and the amount?
currently i have to use IW32 and click the COSTS tab then click button REP.PLAN/ACT. to view these information.
Please Advise

There is no single report to show all the data. You have to use different reports or develop custom report.

WBS Element on AR/AP Line Item Report

Hi All
When I run the FBL1n report for a vendor who has a PO which has a WBS element - I dont see the WBS element coming up on the line item report(s).
Although the field is there on the layout - it is not picking the WBS Element into the report - can anyone please tell me why this is and how I can get this field to fill with values...
Thank you
Rukshana

hi,
If you had activated Project Cash Management, you can try report CJIA which can substitute the report line item wise list for a particular project or for a Particular Vendor.
Why the standard system is not showing WBS because, a single Vendor line can be posted against multiple expense so system cannot determine which WBS to be shown in the report so it is left blank in reports, this will be applicable for Purchase order no, Cost Centers, WBS etc.
As suggested by Suresh you can use the BTE 1650, but it will keep one WBS in the line even you have multiple WBS elements used for the document posting.
For Ex
Expense 1 Dr 1000- WBS 1
Expense 2 Dr 1000- WBS 2
Expense 3 Dr 1000- WBS 3
Vendor A Cr 3000
Against Vendor line item A - it will show WBS 1 alone.As there is no standard solution you can use BTE if your are satisfied with the above example or you have to activate Project Cash management to find the exact reporting but in different reporting structure.
Thanks and regards

KE33 report main data and Line items in KE33 doesn't match

< MODERATOR: Message locked. Please post this message in the [Controlling forum|SAP ERP Financials - Controlling;. >
All,
I have created COPA report (cost based COPA). When I ran the report, I have 5 line items and a total row.
When selected one line's revenue column and hit goto - line item, it gives the line item details. I see that the total in the line item details is different from the report's line total.
Can some one help me please
Also, I'm trying to reconcile the gl and copa blances. When I ran the GL line item report it's based on company code currency and the KE24 report is in operating currency. will it have any differences due to different currencies?
thanks,
Sri
Edited by: Sri on Oct 9, 2008 2:33 AM

Well, check if your COPA report is filtered by some characteristics. Ideally, both the balances should be the same... the COPA report always reads off the line items (or summarizaiton levels which inturn read line items), so I'll be surprised if its not the same.
For the GL - COPA rec, is there a problem with running KE24 using Currency Type 10 (Company Code currency)?
Cheers.

Internal Order - KOB1 - Actual Cost Line Item Report

Hi Friends,
I need to understand how the KOB1 Report - Actual Cost Line Item works.
As per my understanding when ever there is cost posted with assignment to Internal order this report should reflect the amount.
We have a PO with account assignment to Internal order and Asset.
When Goods Receipts is posted the with posting key 70, the report is reflecting the amount.
When Invoice Receipt is posted KOB1 report is not reflecting this amount.
There is one Invoice receipt posted with entry
31 Dr
70 DR
86 Dr GR/IR
and the 70 debit amount is coming in the report.
So can any one please tell me does this report show all the entries with IO assignment or when posting key 70, 75 ,80,81 are used.
And also is GR considered as cost posting or IR considered.
This issue has been pending from 3 months.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
Satish

The KOB1 line item report will show you any expense account posted to that order.
Basically you are the order collecting the cost. During the invoice receipt, the expense account are not involved, except in cases of a price difference.
The vendor account credit and debit to GR/IR are not concerned with the order.

Asset Balances & Cost Line items Report

Hi,
I am looking for a Report which would combine Asset (S_ALR_87011963)balance report and Cost line item Report(CJi3) for Projects.

Hi,
The flow is like this ( if u r using timesheets for confirmation):
CAT2 : Timesheet: Enter Times : User enters the time.
CATS_APPR_LITE : Approval of timesheet
CAT5 : Transfer to Projects.
This will post cost to Projects.
Another way of getting the Actual cost is Confirmation using CN25 or CN29.

CJI5 commitment line item report not showing po gross value

Dear All,
system is showing only net value in CJI5 report, actaully gross value of po must be reflected in CJI5 report and this happening in all po's like material, service's etc. example is as follows.
Example:
po net value: 1000
st 10%: 100
po gross value : 1100 (inclusive of all taxes, ed, disc. etc)
what could be the reason for not showing po gross value in commitment line item report.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep

Hi,
As far as i know the commitment report will never show you the value that is inclusive of taxes. It will only show the net value of the PO.
I just tried a scenario in my system by creating a PO for a net value of 3000 GBP and based on the tax code i entered system calculated a tax of 525 GBP. However when i check CJI5 report it shows only 3000 GBP as commitment and not 3525 GBP. This is how the standard system behaves, i believe. You can cross check this in the table COOI. The COOI table also shows the net value of the PO and does not include the tax amount in commitment.
