Cost of Sales activation in Controlling area

Hi Friends,
Please let me know the IMG activity where we can check if 'Cost of sales accounting' is active in a controlling area or not.
Please help me navigate.
Thanks & regards,
Shilpi

Hi,
It's more accurate to say whether it's active for company code.
IMG - Financial Accounting - Financial Accounting Global Settings - Company Code - Cost of Sales Accounting - Activate Cost of Sales Accounting.

Hi,
Generally, SAP makes that the down payments are always updated in CO. To maintain the default cost elements, you could use OKEP transaction. However, it's possible to deactivate this function by implementing note 388843.

Can we Maintain two Cost Center Hierarchies in one Controlling Area

Dear All,
My client established a 2nd plant and he wants seperate Cost Center Hierarchy, cost center groups and cost centers for that 2nd Plant. Can we maintain two cost center hierarchies in one controlling area.
Please suggest me steps related to this configuration.
Regards,
Balaji Bhonsle

Hi,
Standard hierarchy is a tree structure containing all the cost centers in a controlling area from the Controlling standpoint. You can create a separate node assigned to Standard hierarchy for your new Plant. You can have only one Std.hierarchy. Alternative hierarchy for any reporting purpose is definitely an option.
Hope this helps.

What are the different types of credit checks?
By Sunilmadho
Credit Check can be :
1) Simple Credit Check
2) Automatic Credit Control
Automatic Credit Control can be at various levels :
1) Order
2) Delivery
3) Goods Issue
Automatic Credit Check is of many types :
1) Static
2) Dynamic
3) MaximumDocument Value
4) Maximum Open Items in percentage
5) Oldest Open Item in number of days
6) Crtitical fields change
7) Highest dunning level, etc.
You can create more.
Credit Check happens only in SD module, never in FI. Because the stage of the check is in the sales cycle, which exists in SD. FI guys will check the credit master sheets of the customer, the MIS, the analysis etc, review the credit limits of customers. But the check will happen only in SD, while creating order, delivery or doing the goods issue.
All business have their own credit management needs, SAP allows you to specify your own automatic credit checks based on a variety of criteria. You can also specify at which critical points in the sales and distribution cycle the system carries out these checks.

how do i proceed with this kind of situation.
My concerns are
1. How do I assign the company code to a new controlling area which has already been assigned to a particular controlling area.
2. Now if i go with the new controlling area which i have created then how does the system respond to the old open item data which has been entered for old cost centres,profit centres.
What will happen when i start clearing this transactions how does the system responsd to this kind of situations.

FI-AR-CR Customer Sales per Credit Control Area

Hi,
Do you know any table or funtion that may calculate the Customer Sales Volume per Credit Control Area? I need to calculate a customer specfic DSO (Day Sales Outstanding) figure. The standard AR Summary doesn't return such information. This nay be obtained via BSEG, but it requires a complex query.
I have found the function module CUSTOMER_BALANCE, but it returns customer sales per company code, which still requires additional calculation to totalize the balances for all the company codes that belong to a credit control area which the customer is assigned to.
I appreciate any input that may provide a simplier solution for this question.
Thanks and regards.
Gonçalo

Hi,
I have decided to use the function module CUSTOMER_DSO_CALCULATION, and I will try get the sales volume from some internal variable that this FM uses to calculate the standard DSO. Then I'll store it on a Z table in order to compute the new specific DSO
Thanks and regards,
Gonçalo

CSKA & CSKB Tables -Cost Element+ Controlling Area, Cost Element Category

I have few questions on Chart Of Accounts and Controlling Areas and CSKA(Cost elements (data dependent on chart of accounts)) and CSKB (Cost elements (data dependent on controlling area)) Tables--
1) One Chart Of Accounts has one or more Controlling Areas. Is there any situation where One Controlling Area contains many Chart Of Accounts.
2) CSKA Table contains all the Cost Elements under the Chart Of Accounts. So does all these Cost Elements appear under CSKB Table. Are there any Cost Elements which doesn't fall under any of the Controlling Area and only exists under Chart Of Accounts Level in CSKA Table.
3) In CSKB Table How do we know the corresponding Chart Of Accounts for the Cost Element.
4) In CSKB Table Cost Element Category depends on both Cost Element and Controlling Area. So does a Cost Element can be Primary Cost Element for one Controlling Area which happens to be GL Account and Secondary Cost Element for some controlling Areas.
5) Are there any Company Codes under the Chart Of Accounts which doesn't belong to any of the Controlling Area and doesn't have any Cost Elements.

Hi,
1) One Chart Of Accounts has one or more Controlling Areas. Is there any situation where One Controlling Area contains many Chart Of Accounts. Never
One controlling area can be assigned to many company codes, but all must have been assigned to the same chart of accounts only. This is the pre requisite for the so called cross company controlling
2) CSKA Table contains all the Cost Elements under the Chart Of Accounts. So does all these Cost Elements appear under CSKB Table. Are there any Cost Elements which doesn't fall under any of the Controlling Area and only exists under Chart Of Accounts Level in CSKA Table.
If some data exists in CSKA table, it mean that, it must have been created as a CE in any of the controlling area
3) In CSKB Table How do we know the corresponding Chart Of Accounts for the Cost Element.
In CSKB, you wont get the correspondant COA for the given controlling area. If you want to know it pass field value CSKB-KOKRS to table field TKA01-KTOPL to get the assigned COA
4) In CSKB Table Cost Element Category depends on both Cost Element and Controlling Area. So does a Cost Element can be Primary Cost Element for one Controlling Area which happens to be GL Account and Secondary Cost Element for some controlling Areas.
You cannot create a secondary cost elemant using a key matching with an GL code in cross company controlling. In case of both company codes assigned to different controlling areas this can be possible
5) Are there any Company Codes under the Chart Of Accounts which doesn't belong to any of the Controlling Area and doesn't have any Cost Elements.
Only In case of CO module is not active for the a company code
Note: If you have more queries, post it separately rather than asking all in one thread. and be specific with your requirement with the actual scenario.
Thanks,
Srinu

Same Cost Element in multiple Controlling Areas

Can a same Cost Element under the Chart Of Accounts(CSKA) used in multiple controlling areas under the Chart Of Accounts or it should be used only by one Controlling Area. Then as Cost Element category is under CSKB (Cost elements (data dependent on controlling area)) it depends on Cost element and controlling area. So can a Cost elemtnt in different controlling areas has different cost element category. Is that possible as in that case COst ELement becomes GL Account in one Controlling area and doesnt have GL Acvcount in another.

Yes. Provided it's the same chart of accounts being used across all of the controlling areas. In the case of primary cost elements, you will still need to individually create the equivalent G/L accounts in every applicable company though.

Hello nagesh simhadri ,
I have the answer for your problem, i think that you already solved it but the answer will be useful for the others, because i had the same problem and i found your post...
In fact, there is a customizing parameter to set:
SPRO -> PROJET SYSTEM -> Costs -> Actual costs and Forecast -> Update down payments -> Define default cost elements for down payments
or simply you can use the transaction code OKEP.
I hope that this will help someone...
