Display the cost element in KA03 and check the CElem category under Basic Data. Click that field and get F1 Help to know more about the Cost Element Category for Primary Cost Element Categories and Secondary Cost Element Categories.

Cost Element Block

Hi
I have created one cost element and posted number of documents.
client asks that the posting should be reflecting in FI but not in CO
So I tried to delete the Cost element category in FS00 but it is mandatory field. So if we delete it will impact the business..
So there is any alternative to block Cost element or witout reflecting the posting in CO
Raju

Hi Raju,
the cost element is the transmission between FI and CO. So if you do not want a FI posting to be reflected in CO you must not create a cost element for the relevant account.
If a cost element has already been created, the only possibility to prevent the CO posting will be
to delete the cost element again via TA KA04. For this you will first of all have to delete all CO documents that have been posted with the relevant cost element via report RKACOR20 (see SAP note 45122)

Results analysis for POC method with statistical cost element

Hi,
We are testing ETO (engineering-to-order) scenario With valuated
project stock and cost based POC RA method.
Inventory is updated during external procurement and we have used
statistical cost elements (Cost element category - 90) for inventory G/L.We want to use a
Result analysis method which considers this statistical cost elements
for calculating POC.For this purpose we have implemented SAP Notes
616960, 616869 and 78420.
In short, as per SAP note 616869, we created a customer enhancement
project for customer enhancement 5 of the results analysis (see Note
H78420). We copied the source code for customer enhancement 5 of the
correction instructions of note 616869 and then implemented SAP note
616960 to read the statistical actual costs.
Then we included the statistical cost as actual costs - Category K in
OKG4.
The system is doing POC and revenue in excess of billing calculation
correctly after taking into consideration the posted statistical cost.
During settlement of RA (CJ88), system is not giving effect to
inventory value. On settlement of RA, revenue should be recognized but
at the sametime the inventory represented by statistical posting should
be consumed(COS). The system should post a P&L posting which reduces
the inventory (representing statistical cost) and updates the actual
costs on settlement.
In our example, Statistical actual
posting is of USD 57150, planned revenue USD 100000 and POC is 70.27%.
Revenue in excess of billing comes to USD 70265.60. Recognisation of
revenue of USD 70265.60 is not correct as actual consumption is yet to
happen. The correct posting in FI should be revenue of USD 70265.60
along with COS of USD 57150.
Please suggest why on settlement the system is not posting the COS
along with revenue recognised?
Thanks,
BK

Cost element Report

Hi ,
I have defined some primary cost elements regarding consumption with category 1.
Now when I execute the cost center report (S_alr_87013611), system is not showing any figures regarding these consumption cost elements.
I checked with FBL3N for such consumption accounts and found that there are postings made to the accounts. Controlling documents have also been generated for the transaction effecting the consumption accounts.
What could be the reason due to which the system is not showing the figures in Controlling report?
How to solve this?
Makrand

Hi Makarand,
you have difined in OKB9 the default cost center. This cost center will be picked only if there is no other cost object found at the time of posting.
As you siad all these posting happend to Production Order.
When the system able to find the a cost object on it own (in the given case, Production Order is the real cost object and the costs need to flow to only Production Order), then system will not consider the definitions in OKB9.
OKB9 is relevant only when we don't give any cost object. In such case it will pick up the cost object defined in OKB9.
When you are doing the confirmation of materials to production Order, Production Order will have over riding affect on the setting on OKB9.
Hope you got the point
Please let me know if you need further details in this regard

Two Cost Element for the same GL

Hi,
We have 2 Company Codes - 1000 & 2000. We are using same CoA in both the Company Codes. We have a GL, say 12345678 for posting short/excess amount. So during MIRO, the accounting entry would be:
GR/IR a/c dr.          10,000
GL 12345678                  2
                   Vendor            10,002
GL 12345678 would be dr or Cr would depend on short/excess amount.
We have created Cost Element for this GL 12345678. If I post the MIRO without attaching a Cost Center to this Cost Element system thows an error to attach the Cost Center. I have separate Cost Center for Company Codes 1000 & 2000 however I can only put one Cost Center in this Cost Element.
Can anyone advice how can I post the above mentioned entry with different Cost Center. This line item (GL 12345678) is generated automatically and the Cost Center field is greyed out hence I don't have option to enter the Cost Center during MIRO. I checked the FSG of this GL, Cost Center field is 'Optional' over there.
Thanks,
Sandy

Solution Option* -You can assign Differant Cost Centers to Company Code 1000 and Company Code 2000 in OKB9 Transaction Code.Follow the below process....
--- Go to OKB9
--- Select New Entries button
--- Give the Company Code 1000 in first row and 2000 in 2nd row
--- Enter the Cost element 12345678 for company code 1000 and 2000
--- Enter the relevent cost centers for company code 1000 and 2000
--- Select Save

Cost component structure - cost elements for FERT and HALB (TC:OKTZ)?

Hi all,
our cost component structure has the following structure (TC: OKTZ):
1 Raw materials
2 Human ressources
3 Production
4 Material Overhead
5 Production overhead
6 external activity
(this settings are conform with SAP standard - copy from cost comp. structure 01)
To cost comp 1 "raw material" we assigend the relevant (primary) cost elements (consumption raw mat, e,g, steel, wood...).
My question is: In case we insert/post e.g. a semi-finished product to the production order from stock (accor. bill of material), where (in which cost comp.) do I have to assign the relevant cost element? I guess this should be the account "inventory change unfinished product? (maintain in TC: OBYC for transaction BSV according val. class)
Is it correct to assign this cost element to cost comp structure "raw material", because actually it is a semi finished product which is picked up from stock to convert /process further? To problem is, if this cost element is not assigned I get an error in CK11N/CK40N
I hope my wording is not to abstract...
Thanks in advance...
best Regards

Hi..
You don’t need to consider the cost element of production order settlement and production notification.
Cost component structure need the cost element of production order’s debit.

BW: Cost Element Hierarchy - from R/3 plus additional node in BW

Hi all,
We have cost element hierarchy (say ZP14PL) which we schedule to update periodically from R/3 into BW . However we would like to add an additional sub-node under this same hierachy via RSH1. As this subnode is only for BW use, this is not maintained in the hierarchy ZP14PL in R/3. With the 'full update' or 'update Subtree' option in the infopackage the hierachy ZP14PL will be deleted and replaced with the latest changes thus removing the additional node which we created for BW only.
Any suggestion as to how we could have the latest hierarchy updated from R/3 without deleting the additional subnode that we added in the same hierachy in BW?
Appreciate all expert advice.
Thanks and best regards,
VC

An easy way would be to include this link into the file using a start routine....
you should know the child node and parent nodes for the same and since the location of the same is going to be constant - you could add it to your start routine....
Or have a time dependent hierarchy but that would mess up your reporting...
Also this is not the correct forum to post BI relevant questions - suggest you post the same in the BI forums for more relevant answers....

Capitalization of an investment order/project - Original cost elements

Hi all,
I do have a question concerning the capitalization of an investment order/investment project onto an asset under construction (AuC).
I have configured the system in a way, using capitalization key and capitalization versions, that I can capitalize 100 % of the costs within the IFRS depreciation area to the AuC and 0 % of the costs within my local gaap depreciation area to the AuC.
Instead of capitalizing the costs within the local gaap depreciation area, the cost are booked to the u201CAccount for capitalization differences/nonoperating expensesu201D.
With the settlement of the investment order/investment project to the AuC the original cost accounts/cost elements (shared between IFRS and local gaap) are credited and the AuC is debited for the IFRS deprecation area and the u201CAccount for capitalization differences/nonoperating expensesu201D is debited for the local gaap depreciation area.
My problem is, that I do not want to have the costs for my local gaap P&L on the u201CAccount for capitalization differences/nonoperating expensesu201D, I do want to have them instead on the corresponding local gaap cost accounts/cost elements to the original shared cost accounts/cost elements within FI and CO.
Is there any possibility to do this within SAP Standard?
(If possible the solution should also work within New GL, using multiple ledgers for parallel accounting instead of different account)
Thank you!
Regards

Hi Prad,
I am on 4.6C/D.
Please check on your settings for Capitalization of AUCs created through Investment Support Measures: -
1. Go to the IMG, Asset Accounting under Special Valuation and determine the Depreciation Areas you would like your Investment Support Measures to post to.
2. Still in Special Valuation, define an Investment Support Key and assign it to the relevant depreciation area
3. Also, define the relevant account determination for such posting under the Special Valuation
4. Proceed in the same area to define the Transaction type for the Investment Support Measure by changing any of the Standard ones in there in line with your requirements
5. Now move back to IMG, Asset Accounting then Master Data. Here you go to the screen layout and pick the relevant asset class for AUCs. Get this logical feild group and pick on the item Investment Support. Proceed to define its feild group rule as optional at the required asset maintenance level (Main Asset and/or Sub Level)
6. Leave the IMG and access the relevant AUC's Master Data from the User Menu. Click the tab Investment Support and insert the Investment Support Key you created in note 2 above
7. Now capitalise the AUC. Should work

Duplicate Entries For Cost Elements

Hi All,
We have a situation in which in a particular inventory org duplicate entries of a cost elements have got created. eg: Material Cost Element has appeared twice or thrice for an item, similarly material overhead, resource etc. due to which the item cost has shoot up.
Can someone please suggest what could be the possible reason for the same? Its lil urgent.
Thanks!!!

Dear
Can please confirm wether this depdends are for any MTO order ? I mean you have Sales Order for FERT with MTO item categoery and running MRP in MD02 .In that case whether , it is generating multiple similar MRP elements.
Basically , this is happen based on the Planning Horizon as well as Re-schedule horizon kept into OPPQ /MRP relevent paramentrs/OPPR in case of MRP group .If your firm reciept like Production Order are boyond the planning horizon during your MRP run , demnad will be re-considerde to create Planned order .So chek the PH/Rescheduling horizon .So keep bit larger Re-scheduling Horzon .
Refer our earlier posting : new planned orders on next MRP run
Other possibilites can be explored in the SAP notes from sales stand point : SAP Note : 744305/744484/80891

Define a settlement cost element for receiver type FXA

Hi,
While settling the AUC internal order,i am gettingg the below error.Kindly advice me
Define a settlement cost element for receiver type FXA
Message no. KD506
Diagnosis
In allocation structure A1 (controlling area AFCO), you did not define which cost element should be used when settling costs/revenues of the sender. Nor did you define receiver type FXA.
Procedure
Assign a different allocation structure to the settlement sender (-> Master data -> Settlement rule -> Goto -> Settlement parameters), or maintain allocation structure A1.
Thanks
Supriya

Hi Supriya,
Go to SPRO-> Controlling > Internal orders>Actual postings>Settlement> Maintain Allocation structures & choose A1 and go to assignment, select the relevant category like raw material / consumption and then go to source, check the range of cost elements first then click the settlement cos t element and under that choose FXA and define the settlement cost element which must be created under 22 category.
After maintainig the above, you will not get the error anymore.
Thanks & Regards

Activity types cost Elements not reflecting in Cost Centre Report.

Hello SAP Gurus,,
1. Here we are facing one issue in Zreport. total is not matching, compare with KSB1.
Values are more in Zreport, in other words activity type cost elements are not reflecting in Zreport, but it reflecting in KSB1.
example: flow from PM module.
Actually we had used logic based on the Cost Centres, in that cost centre by taking Object number and it passes to COEP table, then we are getting values as same as KSB1.
As per investigation i found that the object number is differ from COEP table and CSKS table.
Exapmple : 1410000 object number in CSKS table, 1410000EL in COEP table, thats why in Zreport these values are not reflecting.Finally our requirment is , Zreport values should same as KSB1 vlaues.
2. We need same functionality as same as KSB1 for match code or drop down menu functionality for Cost Centre Group and Cost Element Group, but while user wants select from match code or drop menu (F4), as of now i didnt given any logic to abap for match code functionality or drop down menu (F4),so in this case which logic or table i have to use.
So please give me inputs or logic how to over come the above points.
Regards,
Raj.

The OBJNR field structure is as follows :-
AABBBBCCCCCCCCCCDDDDDD
AA = object type eg. KS (cost center)
BBBB = controlling area
CCCCCCCCCC = cost center
DDDDDD = activity type
Based on the structure, you will be able to filter the relevant cost center/activity types. You can also use other fields eg. cost element, partner object, source object, value type, etc. to get your desired figures as per KSB1.

Delete cost element in KP06 planning

Dear all,
I am facing the issue in cost run:
Our scenario is like below we done cost element planning for cost center activity type cost element combination(kp06) due to mistake user defined the cost element which is not relevant for activity price calculation after that i run the plan price calculation(KSPI) here i found the warning message "Cost element is not assigned to cost component structure, if i will ignore this message my cost component view and itemization view won't match. So i deleted the cost element value from KP06 , but when i execute the kspi same message is appeating.
1) Please advise me how to delete the cost element from kp06 resulting it wont appear in kspi.
Regards,
Ravi.

Hello Ravi,
I repeatedly used the following programms Ajay might refer to.
First guess: xx29 might help.
"Best practice?": I would not call it best practice. At least it is SAP-reports and not
customer-specific reports.
I hope it helps.
With kind regards

Cost element for materials in network profile

Dear All,
Want to use material planning field in internal activity under assignment tab. But I have the following queries
What is the cost element that I have to mention in network profile under internal activity?
If I mention the cost element in network profile and plan my internal activity in initial stage and later on if I assign material to internal activity will the Plan cost of that internal activity increases by the material added to that activity.
3. under OBYC materials have different cost elements based upon valuation class. so how the planned vs actuals will be show in the report.
Regards
Avinash

Hi Avinash,
See my replies below.
1 a & B: You are planning Qty on NWA and capturing costs - labor & Equipment on NWA elements.
When you are having elaborated to NWA-Element level, split your total work on each NWA-element and post labor cost. Thus you will have planned Vs actual costs at one place.
coming to equipment cost - are you capturing using PO through GR?.
2.a : Option1- create a separate WBS elements for materials and plan cost at WBS level. That value would be your total planned cost of material procurement as estimated. Under this WBS elements create NWAs and assign the materials. With this set up you can assign material and procure so that will have actual costs coming from GR.
Option 2: Create a one General Cost activity and assign the total planned cost of material on this NWA.
When you assign the material components, diligently you have to reduce the equivalent amount from the general costs activity. Also note that on component screen, you have to check box "Cost relevant" so that material cost will add to Cost NWA. Let the different materials have their own valuation class and have default CEs accordingly. that would not be big issue.
Please discuss with your MM team to get more information. Also my suggestion is to leave blank CE field in configuration.
The option2 is very cumbersome and high risk but one have to be very cautious to reduce the value from Cost NWA in order to sustain the planned material costs whenever they added.
3. I have answered the relevance of Cost relevance check box in above.
Hope above makes sense.
Thanks,
Sudhakar
