Cost Elements in CO

Hi,
We assign profit center in material master. In case of FI reports, Inventory balances can be seen PC wise. However, in CO-PCA, inventory balances cannot be seen. Any ideas?
As per my understanding, since Inventory accounts are not Cost elements, the same cannot flow in CO.
On similar lines, can you please confirm whether price difference accounts should be cost elements? I understand that the price difference accounts are determined automatically through OBYC settings and system picks the PC based on material master. In such case, whether cost elements are required.
If no, how does system recognise which values to flow in CO for which cost elements are not maintained?
This thread is just to open discussion as to how system behaves in the background for such cases.

1. It depends on which version u r running on... ecc 5.0 onwards PC is integrated with New GL. In which case you should not use Classic PCA ie ec pca.
2. Inventory would be created as cost elements with 90... when you have project stock. For PCA it does not matter as Profit center is always a statistical entry and it does not require the GL to be a cost element.
3. PRD accounts would be cost elements and they should be given a default cost object in OKB9.

Cost element

I am developing a cost center. where i am extracting cost center and object number from
CSKS table.
Using the Object I am extracting Cost element...
loop at itab.
l_tabix = sy-tabix.
select single kstar ebeln from covp
         into (covp-kstar , covp-ebeln)
         where kokrs = p_kokrs
         and   objnr = gt_cc-objnr
         and   gjahr = p_fyear
         and   perio in s_period.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    itab-kstar = covp-kstar.
    itab-ebeln = covp-ebeln.
    modify itab index sy-tabix.
endif.
endloop.
The problem is a object number can have any number of cost elements associated with it....
this part however is retreiving only 1 cost element...
Please let me know how to fix this problem...

Hi,
as you have multiple entries .. here is the code..
take one two more tables one jtab like itab and another table say ktab with two fields kstar and ebeln..
loop at itab.
l_tabix = sy-tabix.
select kstar ebeln from covp
         into table ktab

Cost element 41 is not getting displayed in basic data Cost Element Basic..

Hello All,
Need you help in understanding and solving this issue, when ever I am creating a GL account in P&L, primary cost element is getting created, that is perfect, but for some G/L account I want to assign to CElem category to 41 for overhead, but due to some reason, only see 6 cost element category when try to look into mirror glass, or F4, only can see (1, 3, 4, 11, 12, 22). Please suggest how can I fixed this. If some one is having hard time understanding my question please feel free to write me.
Thanks
Nishan

Christian,
I belive you have not understood this issue, here I am not asking the difference between primary and secondary, let me articulate it one more time:
When you create a G/L account under expenses for P&L and it create Primary cost element and instead of allocating it to primary costs/ cost-reducing revenue want to make it to 41 overhead cost element. but I dont see the option of 41 just see 6 option ( 1 for primary costs/ cost-revenue reducing revenues. 3 - Accrual, 4 , 11= revenue, 12 = sales deduction and 22 external settlement, and where as I dont see 41, what setting need to be changed so that I can see all the cost element type.
thanks

From which table check 'cost element' and its corresponding GL account?

Hi,
May i know from which could i check the cost element field and its corresponding GL account field??
Questions:
"the getting cost element should check the corresponding GL account, but I canu2019t find the
corresponding table which include these two fields. So, if you know the table in which cost element can check the corresponding GL account, please tell me ."
Is below way correct:
From table CSKA, i could get the chart of accounts related with the cost elements.
Then from table SKA1, i could get the GL account according to chart of accounts field.
Then i got an relation between Cost element with GL account??
Thanks!!

Hi
Could not locate the table, but could find that, if you come to transaction KA02, click on Environment - Display General Ledger account - In Chart of Account/ In Company Code option, then you can display the GL account for individual cost elements.

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..

G/L account 59500140 cannot be created as a cost element

Hi Viewers,
When I try to do the KO88 Process order settlement i am getting the below error:
G/L account 59500140 cannot be created as a cost element
Message no. KQ119
Diagnosis
When maintaining the posting rules for passing on results analysis data to Financial Accounting, you entered a G/L account that is defined as a primary cost element in cost and revenue element accounting. This is not allowed. You must enter a G/L account in the posting rules that is not defined as a cost element.
System Response
The entry invalid.
Procedure
You have the following options:
Enter a G/L account for which no cost element is specified in Cost and Revenue Element Accounting.
You can change the message type with user-defined error management (transaction OPR4_KKA). What should be observed when you enter a G/L account in a posting rule that is defined as a primary cost element in Cost and Revenue Element Accounting? You need to define a CO account assignment so that the posting defined in the posting rule can be executed. You do this with transaction OKB9 (default account assignment) or OKC9 (substitution), or using the default account assignment in the cost element master.
I would like to know the GL Account 59500140 is a P&L Account. Is it correct?.
Please help me to overcome from this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Aswin

Execute transaction code FSP0 and check whether the account is a P&L or a Balance Sheet. Nevertheless, you can only enter accounts that are not created as cost elements in customizing transaction OKG8. If you enter an account that is also a cost element, then you need to configure default CO account assignment using OKB9 or a substitution using OKC9. Please refer to the following SAP Notes.

Report for Missing Cost Elements

Hello Friends
I want to know if there is any report which shall give the list of missing cost elements in the system. I mean I want to know the list of primary cost elements that are still not created in the system as compared to P&L account GLs(Hence such cost elements need to be created now)
Thank you in advance
Best Regards
Prashant S

Hi,
T-Code KAH3, enter cost element group that covers all cost elements so far, go to "Extras / Check and Help functions / Check completeness". The "missing" primary cost elements are displayed, but ensure, that they really should be created as cost element.

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

You can create a GL account from transaction FS00.
Put the name of the GL account & company code & click create or you can also create from template. from the same screen you can create primary cost element by clicking on edit cost element.
Or you can go to transaction KA01 & create primary cost element.

No data found due to cost element adding leading values in report

Hi Experts,
I have an issue where when the run the analyser with some values in variable screen it is displaying the output correctly in analyser tool. I am filtering the cost element with a single value for ex 4545000 and I have kept that in rows . Still the report is working fine. But then when I go back to variable screen and change the input for ex instead of period 3 if I change it to 4 , output is null since the cost element is adding leading values to the existing value in the filter and displaying no result. for ex 4545000 is getting added with controlling area 0050 and its searching for 00500004545000 and since this is not the cost element value its not displaying output..
Any ideas how to rectify this or is it a analyser tool issue..
Thanks in advance

my query is do we have to create a new account for FRL and that we should not make up as a cost element but then how we are going to pass the expense entry to controlling module from FI

Hi,
There is always an alternative way of defaulting Cost Center for one cost element.You can put default cost center at Cost Element master data. But still I believe , you can solve this problem thru OKB9. Try accessing the tab Default Account Assignment per business area/Valuation area. This tab allows you within one company code and for specific Cost element , to put accross different cost center for different plan/valuation area provided you are working with plant as valuation area concept.
Pls check and let me know
Cheers

Secondary Cost Element Values doesn't display in Profit Center Report

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with our Profit Center plan/actual/variance reports wherein it doesn't display the postings I made to the Secondary cost element when I executed an assessment cycle (KSU5). I already set in the configuration that all postings to be done in the cost centers, should have a parallel posting to the profit center assigned to it. I can see the postings in my cost center reports, but not in my profit center report. Could I have missed out on any procedure to enable the secondary cost element parallel posting in my profit centers? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

it might be the configuration of the library or some parameter in the report (record type should be 0 and 2 for actual values, where 2 stands for distributed values and 1 and 3 for planned values)
but it also might be that the reconciliation is done between different CC and same PC
- check your CC organisation asignment
- if sender cost center and receiver cost center have tha same PC it is probably the reason
- I had that problem my self and didn't solve it
cheers

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
