Cost Object in FI document with WBS Settlement

Hi,
I'm testing WBS settlement to G/L account which is cost element. I made some substitution rules because I met an error message saying that "Cost Object is needed"
As a result I can settle WBS to cost elements such as COGS etc. I got a FI document, CO document and PCA document. Everything looked so nice.
Suddenly I noticed, however, that there is no such a thing like cost object on FI document. When I look up the FI document using FB03, I found that the PS-POSID was empty. Of course, CO documents have Cost Object.
What I wonder is as follows
1. Is this standard? Is it natural that FI document with CO doc has no cost object on it?
2. If I need to use FI document to determine WBS element, what is the best to way? Is it possible to enter Cost Object such as wbs element in FI document during settlement?
Thank you for your kind advice in advance.

Kang,
In the message which you got, the word 'Cost Object' refered to a cost center, or order, or any other cost object.
However, there is another account assignment object with the name 'Cost Object', which was not filled in the FI document. That is normal.
Right now I don't have much information in the a/c assignment object 'Cost Object'.

  • FI Document created during WBS settlement

    Hi Everyone,
    I have an issue regarding the FI document generated while running CJ88 for WBS settlement. We settle a WBS to a Cost Center, after it, three documents are created, an FI document, a CO document and a Profit center Document.
    Logic tells me there shouldnt be an FI document  in this situation since im settleing between two cost objects. For example when we settle internal orders no FI document is generated.
    I've checked many threads in SCN about said FI document and i cant find a definitive reason as for why is this document is generated during the settlemet, many threads about it are not answered and some others are not very conclusive.
    Nevertheless! I can live with the FI document but i'd like to change it from the standard "SA" document to "ZA" for analysis purposes. We created de document type and i've changed the settlement profile to use ZA but still after we settle a WBS an SA document is created.
    Can anyone shine any light on this issue? either pointing me in the right direction to modify the document type or by explaining why is it generated?
    Thank you in advance for your time.

    Hello Chauhan,
    My settlement profile is enabeled for Cost Center, Order and Fixed Assets all as optional, however the settlement rule in this specific scenario is from WBS to Ctr. (both elements have a Profit ctr. assigned.
    Under Other parameters i've set Document type as "ZL".
    The system creates an FI document like this.

  • Cost assignment-Multiple cost objects being selected by default from the EP

    Hi,
    I have created an expense report from the Portal and entered the cost object - a WBS element and saved the report. Now, when I check in table: PTRV_SCOS, it shows me the cost object assigned are - both - the WBS Element as well as the Cost center. This is incorrect as there should be only one cost object - either the cost center or the WBS element. However, when I book the expenses from the backend, it works fine. Only the WBS or cost center is displayed in the table mentioned above. Anyone has any idea as to why this is happening?
    Many thanks in advance for your efforts.
    Cheers guys.
    Hope to hear from you soon

    Hi All,
    First of all, thanks for your responses..
    Right, about the issue, what I explained here was that I am indeed assigning only one cost object: the WBS element. The issue was that even though I am assigning only the WBS element, it was also assigning the cost to the cost center by default. I did some R&D and found the solution to the issue (I was also asked to look for OSS notes but was not satisfied that this issue needs an OSS note to be applied so tried my solution). The issue was in table: T788M (allocate costs to variable account assignment). Here, I created an entry and called it USERGROUP_2 (just a random name) and assigned the variable cost objects (only the WBS and the Cost center) to be displayed. In the next step, I assigned this usergroup to the country in quesion feature (TRVCO). By doing this, I tell the system that only these cost objects are to be considered when an employee wants to assign the cost object. If the system sees that there is no value from the drop down to choose from, it picks up the default cost object (cost center). This was a simple issue that I had to rattle my brains on... but the solution I mention above worked like a hot knife going through butter...
    If you guys face this issue, please try this else feel free to get in touch with me on my number below.
    Once again, thanks for your responses.

  • Cost object derivation in MM invoice through CO substitution

    Hi Gurus,
    As per a new requirement default cost object (from PO line item) should not be derived at AP Invoice and instead cost object should be derived from Equipment record which is related to this PO line item. It can not be changed manually at invoice level as invoice will be generated automatically through T code MRIS.
    I had tried to achieve the same through CO substitution (T code OKC9). But this is substituting the cost object at FI document level and not at MM document level. Means - Cost object is derived from equipment record and populated at FI invoice level. But cost object from PO line item is populated in MM invoice document.
    How I can substitute cost object at MM invoice level.
    Any response from your side will be highly appreciated at this end.

    Kang,
    In the message which you got, the word 'Cost Object' refered to a cost center, or order, or any other cost object.

  • How settlement rule will be created for Sales order with cost object

    Dear Experts,
    We are using product cost by sales order with valuated stock. In addition we are not using COPA
    We also consume some materials at sales order level and at the end of month we want to do the result analysis and settlement for the same amount. In this case can any on explain how system will behave regarding settlement of sales order cost and what entries will get pass in the system.
    In our case we have done below activities...
    we have created sales order,
    All production order activities completed till final GRN including month end activities
    Material consumption against sales order
    Result analysis executed
    At the time of sales order settlement, system throwing error (Sender doesn't have valid receiver, please create settlement rule for sender object)
    Then i checked in sales order there sales order settlement rule not defined.
    I guess this settlement rule need be generated by system automatically. If not, please let me know the process of it.

    HI kishore
          the reason is that sale order always carry the revenue  and production order and production period carry the cost .
       cost you can settle to the Material and even management want  to be settle the cost to material only in production order OR period
    but in sales order  when u sell the product it carry the revenue not the cost and management want see and analysis based on profitability segment are profit center level .
    Prerequisites
    If CO-PA is active, the system generates a settlement rule when you create the sales order. The settlement rule determines whether data is settled to other objects or other areas in Controlling. In accordance with this settlement rule, the relevant data is settled to CO-PA.
    If CO-PA is not active, create a settlement rule. This settlement rule that you create manually normally contains a G/L account as a receiver (such as 399999). You can also settle costs and revenues or results analysis data to objects with revenue.
    You can also settle the cost of sales calculated in results analysis to a fixed asset or a cost center. To do this, you must add to the allocation structure the results analysis cost elements under which the cost of sales is updated to the order.
    The settlement rule includes a distribution rule for the sales order item. The distribution rule is made up of a settlement receiver, a settlement share, and a settlement type:
    The settlement receiver (such as profitability segment or G/L account) specifies the object to which the actual costs and revenue of the sales order item are settled. The settlement receiver can be proposed through the settlement profile.
    The settlement share defines the percentage or the equivalence numbers used to distribute the costs to the individual settlement receivers. The settlement share for sales order items is usually 100%. A settlement share of 100% is preset in the system.
    The settlement type specifies full settlement of the sales order item. This ensures that all the data on the sales order is available for results analysis.
    Settlement still takes place in each period. The revenues and the cost of sales are transferred to CO-PA by period, and the work in process and the reserves are transferred to FI.

  • WBS settlement with AUC

    Regards,

    Hi Lakshmi,
    There are quite a few settings to be maintained. I do not remember exact sequence of steps but here are a few pointers.
    1. Investment profile needs to be created with 'line item settlement'
    2. AUC asset class to be created and assigned to this investment profile
    3. Investment profile to be linked to project profile.
    4. Source structure to be assigned to investment profile
    There may be other steps I am missing but I hope these help.
    Also, if you mention any error that you are facing or at which point you are getting stuck, it would be helpful.

  • Order Settlement to another B area cost objects

    Dear all
    In my requirement We are carrying the work at one Business area on behalf of another business area. The maintenance order has some expenses amount,after completion of the job i need to settle into another business areas cost objects. But sap is giving the error only. Is ot possible?

    Thenna,
    Message to all: you really should get an OSS logon - its free and would save us all a lot of time...
    However, this looks like a FICO issue... and here is the OSS Note text:
    During settlement error message KD256 is output
    "There are no accrued amounts; settlement is not possible".
    The error message and the long text do not supply sufficient information on the causes for the error message.
    Additional key words
    CJ88, CJ8G, VA88, KO88, KO8G, CO88
    Cause and prerequisites
    Preconditions for message KD256 are:
    1. The sender carries a results analysis key
    and
    2. it is
    a) a sender with revenue
    or
    b) a production order with FUL rule to product which in the settlement period has neither the status DLV nor the status TECO
    or
    c) a WBS element which does not have the status TECO
    or
    d) an order, which in the settlement period has neither the status DLV nor the status TECO, and the indicator 'WIP on dependent orders' is in the results analysis version.
    In these cases, only data from accrual calculation is settled. In the cases b) to d), no actual costs are settled to the receiver of the settlement rule.
    The error message is now output
    1. if no accrual calculation has been carried out,
    or
    2. the accrued data have already been settled
    or
    3. the flag 'Settlement to FI' has not been set in any of the results analysis versions
    or
    4. no posting rules have been defined for any of the results analysis categories.
    Solution
    1. Check for the cases b), c) and d) whether the sender already had the status GLV or TECO in the settlement period, that is, whether the delivery date or the date of the technical closure is prior to the posting date of the settlement. If this is not the case, the system continues to determine and settle in period WIP.
    Note: Prior to Release 4.0, the system did not update the date of the technical closure with WBS elements. This is why the date of the technical closure was not checked in Release 3.0/3.1. This was an error in Release 3.0/3.1.
    2. Check the settings in the Customizing of accrual calculation, that is, check the flags 'Settlement to FI' in the results analysis version and check the posting rules.
    3. Check the previous settlements for the sender. For this use the function 'Extras -> Previous settlements' on the initial screen of the settlement.
    4. If necessary, start accrual calculation for the sender again and start the settlement again afterwards.

  • Cost element report with cost object name column

    Hi,
    i'm looking for a report similar to S_ALR_87013601: Cost Elements: Breakdown by Object Type, but including a column with the cost object name. Does anyone know if such a report exists? If it doesn't exist, how can i create a report like this?
    Some of my company costs are assigned to cost centers and some of them are assigned to wbs elements. We would like a report where we could have all the information together.
    Thank you very much

    Hi Xavi ,
    Some of my company costs are assigned to cost centers and some of them are assigned to wbs elements. We would like a report where we could have all the information together.=>
    There is not standard report available..  which will display total cost per company code.. i,e cost booked on cost centers, internal order and WBS elements ... This is becuse each modules store data in seperate tables.
    You have to create a ABAP report to serve your pourpose. You have to collate all the costs booked in a company code for cost centers, IO and WBS elements . Pick up real costs only as per company code..
    We are using such custom report and its working fine.

  • Long running FI close jobs as a result of FI settlement to 3 cost objects

    We are trying to gain some insight as to how we can deal with the large volume of data that is generated with PennDOTu2019s reclassification of costs in SAP (plant maintenance) and any impact this may have on system performance. Specifically, PennDOTu2019s current process requires settlement to 3 cost objects; the SAP standard is settlement to 2 cost objects. There are approximately 60 million line item transactions created each year by this process.

  • Please put a cost object with valid JV data for GL accoutnt (line 001)

    Dear All,
    When the user is trying to post ASKBN, They are getting an error saying "Please put a cost object with valid JV data for GL accoutnt (line 001)"
    So we tried to look up the error, and the WBS, Cost center, profit center and JVA details are all available in place. Still cant understand why this error comes. And why the system is asking to put JV details when they are available.
    On checking, WBS has an AUC and AUC has the cost center which has the JV details and PC details. So I think everything is in place.
    Can someone help please and let us know if we are missing anything else that needs to be checked ?
    Thanks,

  • Settlement to different business area cost objects

    Dear all
    In my requirement We are carrying the work at one Business area on behalf of another business area. The maintenance order has some expenses amount,after completion of the job i need to settle into another business areas cost objects. But sap is giving the error only. Is ot possible?

    The below error is getting while settling orders into another Business area cost objects.
    There are no accrued amounts; settlement is not possible.
    Message no. KD256
    Diagnosis
    The sender has a results analysis key, but no accrued values.
    Either the accrual was not yet started for the sender, or the values to be settled from the accrual equal zero.
    Note
    Actual costs are only settled once the sender is technically completed or finally delivered.
    This applies to
    o     Projects that cannot carry revenues
    u2022     In Service Management for sales order production to the indicator (Calculate WIP for orders in sales order production) set in the accrual version for
    o     Production orders
    o     Internal orders with no revenues
    o     Orders with no revenues
    u2022     In Service Management for engineer-to-order production to the indicator (Calculate WIP for orders in engineer-to-order production ) set in the accrual version for
    o     Internal orders with no revenues
    o     Orders with no revenues
    u2022     In Service Management to the indicator (Calculate WIP for internal and service orders with no revenues) set in the accrual version for

    o     Orders with no revenues
    u2022     To the indicator (Calculate WIP for production orders without settlement to material) set in the accrual version for
    o     Production orders without settlement to material
    Procedure
    1. If necessary, start the accrual calculation for the sender
    2. Restart settlement

    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    Suitcase 4
    Anyone got any ideas? This is making me go nuts!

    A solution!
    It turns out the problem in my case was in fact Suitcase. Previously, I'd tried turning it off, but that didn't fix the problem, so this time, I uninstalled it completely and the problem disappeared. I then began re-adding it (installed 15.0.1, upgraded it, etc.) and the problem resurfaced with the addition of the Photoshop-specific plugin. Deleting that plugin solved the problem. So it seems that "disabling" Suitcase by stopping the TypeCore doesn't seem to actually disable all of the tentacles it sticks into your system.
    You can find the plugin here: Applications / Adobe Photoshop CS6 / Plug-ins / Automate / ExtensisFontManagementPSCS6.plugin
    (After a restart, I also had to delete the font cache, as described here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-fonts-photoshop-cs5.html but your mileage may vary.)
    Alternately, if you don't want to delete the plugin, disabling it from within Photoshop seems to work as well. To do that, go to File > Automate > Extensis, click Preferences..., then deselect Enable Suitcase Fusion 4 Auto-Activation.
    Fortunately, the plugin doesn't seem necessary at all to use the the core functionality of Suitcase (enabling and disabling fonts) in Photoshop. I didn't even know what these app-specific plugins did until researching this problem, and I still don't quite understand the point of them. I guess they allow you to let the apps for which they're installed do a little bit more of their own management (enable a font via Suitcase that isn't enabled system-wide), but that seems like more control than I need--if I'm enabling a font, I want all my software to be able to use it.
    Anyway, the problem seems to be completely solved on my system now, though I just did all this, so more testing over the next few days is required. I'll post here if any issues crop up. I'm interested in hearing if this solves it for anyone else as well.
