Cost Element Description in PCA Report Group P&L

Hello,
You can use SARP for display mode
Tree PCA1
In the first coloumn (number and description) instead of cost element description, cost element number appears again like this:
600000 006000000 (wrong)
600000 Sales Income (correct)
Choose report:
ZPCA0002 P&L A3 group and the choose Report Group P&L (ZPCA0003)
During execution of report ZPCA0003 (library -8A2, Report Group ZPC2), cost center description is not appearing instead same cost element number is appearing.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Offen it is possible to when you run the report and change by the menu path the settings from the report

Cost element description now showing in Report painter

Hi,
I selected to display KEY and DESCRIPTION in the report layout settings for a report painter however the report is displaying only the cost element number and not the description in the rows.
In this case, how to display the cost element description in the report painter rows?

Hi,
ensure that KEY + DESCRIPTION is selected in the layout settings. Description will only appear if it is maintained in the logon-language (means if your logon language is EN but cost element texts are not maintained in EN no descripiton can be seen).
best regards, Christian

Report painter cost elements description is not picking

HI
Report painter Consolidation system - in which the description of the cost elements are not able to display while runnning the GR55 by giving the Report group PCC2
Please assist me
Regards

Hello,
when you plan with trx. 7KE5, activity will be PCAK.
Report group 8A80 should show the figures correctly. When I plan with 7KE5 and afterwards run the report, the activities PCAK and RKP4 are shown.
Maybe your report is not correct. You should import report group 8A80 from client 000 with trx. GR59. Afterwards you have regenerate the report group. Does the report afterwards show the figures?
Have you checked with trx. 2KEE or KE5Y if the values are shown there?
In case it is not shown in 2KEE and KE5Y - have you saved the planned values?
Cheers,
Daniela

Cost element exclusion from CO report

Hi all
My users need a report for permit to marketing dep. to see their expenses directly. All is ok, (the cost center is only one) the problem is that they don't want they see the cost elements where are posted the labour costs (salary, at example). The problem is that our cost element number ranges don't follow the "account nature" logic but is casual, so I will be forced to place in the authority object each valid cost element, modifying each time a new account is open. It doens't exist a alternative method? (for cost element group or for exclusion of cost elements). Thank.
Davide

Hi,
there is an enhancement COOMEP01 which can be used to add additional authorization checks. You can create a custom object and only users with authorization to this object will be able to see lines with labour cost.
Cheers

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
Regards,
Laxminarsimha

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

Mass update of cost element description - edit a table

Hi Folks,
i would like to know wich is the best way to update thousand of description of cost element!
this is due to the fact that i have 4 differents languages to manage....so every time it's necessary to enter them in 4 languages, but the problem was that nobody have done like this, so now i have discrepancy at description level and i want to update...quickly.
i was thinking about table editing in CSKA i know it's not the right way to procede but it's only description and i don't want to spent time in making catt....
In any case i would know wich is the command to edit a table, for my knowledge.
Thanks

Hi,
To edit a table type &sap_edit in the transaction window, while being in SE16N and entering the table. However, the right table for texts is CSKU and not CSKA.
Alternatively, you can do mass creation of cost elements 4 times while log-on in different table (OKB2 and OKB3 transactions).

Eli

Selection variant for cost element GROUPS

Community!
Is there a way to create a selection variant for cost element groups? Through customizing I can only create them for cost elements but not for groups!
Thanks,
Bjoern

Ashok,
thanks for your reply but I am looking for a way to create a variant for groups!!!!!
The help just depicts how to create variants for cost elements. You actually do have the feature to display all cost elements from <u>one</u> group within the collective processing but I would need to select many different groups, which is just not possible.
Therefore I would like to create a variant of cost element <b>groups</b>!!!!!

Secondary cost element in KB11N

Hello.
I'm not allowed to use a secondary cost element in a reposting.
What do I have to modify?
Thank You

Hello,
You cannot use secondary cost element. You need to use primary only.
Please go through the following:
DISTRIBUTION =========== Distribution was created for transfer primary costs from a sender cost center to receiving controlling objects. During distribution, only cost centers or business process can be used as sender. A distribution receiver 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. Primary Postings (such as, energy costs) are collected on a cost center, and allocated at the end of the period by means of the user-defined key. You can only distribute primary costs. During this process, the original cost element remains the same. Line items are posted for the sender as well as for the receiver, enabling the allocation to be recorded exactly. You can reverse distributions as often as required. You use the Cycle-Segment method to define sender-receiver relationships. PERIODIC REPOSTING ================= Differences between periodic reposting and distribution are due to information content and performance. 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 (u201Cunclean creditu201D). However, during distribution, the system writes a totals record for the credit (u201Cclean creditu201D). The information on the receiver is the same for periodic reposting and distribution (u201Cclean debitu201D). 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. As fewer totals records are written during periodic reposting, performance is better than during distribution. ASSESSMENT =========== Assessment was created to transfer primary and secondary costs from a sender cost center to receiving controlling objects. During assessment, cost center or business processes can be used as senders. 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. Primary and secondary posting are allocated at the end of the period by the user-defined key. During assessment, the original cost elements are summarized into assessment cost elements (secondary cost element category = 42). As the system writes fewer total records, the assessment has a better performance than periodic reposting and distribution. 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. Similar to distribution, the partner is updated in the totals record during distribution You can reverse assessments as often as required. You use the Cycle-Segment method to define sender-receiver relationships. Regards, Ravi

How can I make a Splitting in Cost center accounting by Cost elements?

Hi experts:
I have defined a splitting structure and I would like to split the cost bettew fixed and variables cost.
To to that I have defined two different assignments and in the selection for each assignment I have completed the "Field label" with:
In the first assigment I would like to have only the "fixed cost" and I did the next:
1. Cost element (I have entered a Group) the cost which is in this cost element group is 4.000.0000 euros
2.- Activity type (I have entered a Individual value)
In the second assignment I did the same but with a different Cost element group (the original amount was 6.000.000 euros
The problem is that when I have executed the transaction to do the split, the system split the 50% of the total cost (10.000.000 euros) to each assignment.
How can I make if I want that the system split the cost based only in the "cost element group" which are defined one of them for the "Fixed cost" and the another one for "Variable cost"??
Are there any method which can split a total Cost for a Cost center based only in the cost amount for a cost element group??
Thanks a regards!!

sry. im not from the united states, and I never think to spell when posting on forums
Your site's customers will think of it, and they will regard such errors as the mark of a sloppy vendor, not a sloppy webmaster. And I'm not sure what being from the US has to do with anything.
I want to position the container in the center while having absolute positioning, is that possible?
I have doubts, I've seen a lot of people saying that u can't center a container with aboslute position.
Then you should remove those people from your circle of trust. Of course it's possible.
Make the container relatively positioned, and centering with an explicit width and auto left/right margins. The inner absolutely positioned elements will center along with their positioned ancestor.

Statistical Cost Element / category 90

Hello all:
I have create statistical cost element with category 90 .
I assign one cost center to Asset too.
Then I do f-90 to acquisition asset already, it really debit my G/L reconciliation (which I have stat cost element =90)
but which report I can see report total of this stat cost element ? with cost center that I assign in G/L?
Standard cost actual /plan report (S_ALR_87013611) not show the value of statistical cost element???
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Manthana

Hi,
that is right, the S_ALR_87013611 (report 1SIP-001) is only selecting value type 4. You can copy the report 1SIP-001
and create a customer-defined report in GRR1. After that, you can add the value type 11 to the column definition
in GRR2.

Unbilled revenue report grouped by cost element

Hi all,
Can someone tell me if there are standard reports available that will allow me to report unbilled revenue by cost element? We've segregated our RA by fixed price and cost plus contracts. I want to provide a report that will allow me to group by cost elements for cost plus via cost, com and fee or fixed price by cost and fee. This is deep stuff :-)Can I setup KKAJ output to display what I need?
regards,
Mat

Hi Akhilesh,
Thanks for your help. Your answer helped me very much.
The customer wants summary report by Cost Element i.e
SKFActual(SKF Qty)Cost CenterCostElementDollars+Report Currency.
First 2 fields (SKF+Actual - SKF Qty) we got from S_ALR_87013611 report. Then we double clicked on SKF then it will take to KSB1 transaction code(as said by you) there we got the rest of the fields.
Currently we are developing the same Custom Report but it should show by summary i.e by Cost Element.
Could you please tell me what Tables and Data types we need to refer?
Again, I wish to hear from you soon.
Thanking you,
Regards,
Raj
