Costs posted through FB01 to General Cost Element in TECO Status

A general cost element whose system status was changed to TECO on 10/16/2009 has had costs posted from our Travel System in PR1 and also tested posting from FB01 to the same general cost element in a test client sucessfully. Costs were posted on 12/5/2009 (PR1) and 12/10/2009 (test system). This seems inconsistent with the logic that PS typically follows, that TECO does not allow cost postings. The environment is ECC6 with Enhancement pack 4.

Only system status CLSD (Closed) and account assignment locked don't allow actual post against WBS
Here's the explanation on TECO status from SAP Help
You use this status for WBS elements that are completed from a technical point of view, but where you still expect costs to accrue.

Disposal cost cost post directly to materials NOT cost centers.

Dear experts,
Currently we are posting the disposal cost to the cost center as a cost object.
Later the disposal cost posted in cost center will be allocated to material through cost center assessment (KSU5) and material level assessment (CON2).
However, our client said that they want the disposal cost to be directly posted to the material which is scrapped instead of sharing the cost among the relevant cost centers.
Is there any good standard SAP solution?
*I don't want to develop any add-on programs.
Thanks!

Hi Jiro
If the material being disposed is a saleable material -> Post it directly to COPA at material level
For this,
- you need to default the Cost element in OKB9 to "Prof Segment"..
- Map the cost element to PA Transfer Structure FI in KEI2
If the material being disposed is not a saleable material, then what you are doing makes sense...
You can also follow the above process for Saleable material in this case for non-saleable material, if you wish

Planned Cost is taken from Actual Cost even through there is Baseline Cost

Hi All,
Responsibility: Project Super User
Create Project with fully shared structure
Enter planned cost for 25000 against Task (Define Project scope in detail) with Financial Element as Resource and baseline the work plan.
Now enter the actual cost for 15000 against Task (Define Project scope in detail) and system is computing 15000 in Actual Column along with planned cost as 15000 in planned cost column instead of showing 25000 in planned cost column.
Why system is showing planned cost as 15,000 in planned cost column instead of 25000?
Please help.

Hi
I'm not sure I understand the steps you were taking.
Actual costs should be summary of expenditure items. Those could be labor hours entered on time cards, supplier invoices etc. Those are entered on Project Costing, Distribute and summarize there
I couldn't understand your statement about entering 15000 actual cost on the same page as entering the planned cost for the workplan.

GL posting through FB01

Hi all
I want to know the FAUS1 related to a GL account.I used a FunctionModule "FI_Field_selection_determine". But this gets failed to satisfy my requirement in some cases. I m interested in finding the relation within any table.
Is there any table from where i can get the relation betweem GL account,FieldStatus Gp,Fiels Status Variant.so that i get FAUS1 using that Gp and Variant.
Any idea frnz.
Regards
DhanyaR Nair

Hi
I don't think because I believe the many behaviors are decided directly in the program SAPMF05A.
If you have to create a BDC it should be better to use the std program RFBIBL00 or the BAPIs BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST and BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST.

General Cost Object

Hi there,
Anyone familiar with the General Cost Object out there please? (referring to KKC1 - under "Intangible Goods and Services" from the SAP menu.
*Background*
I am looking to a further dimension (cost object) to breakdown/attribute costs; a cost is now attributed at a GL account, a cost center and an internal order; for some reason i need to have a further cost objective; i found the "general cost objective" and thought of them as a solution altought they are indicated for "intangible goods and services" which is not my case...
*So far..*
I have created cost object with Tcode KKC1, quite straightforward and posted a journal to a GL account / Cost center / Cost Object (I left to one side the internal order for the time being)
*Issue 1*
- the KKC1 is asking for a Profit Center as part of the Cost Object master data (mandatory field);
Question: can this field be customisable in the IMG and be left blak? we have a 1 to 1 association betwen CC and PC, the same cost object should be used on many CC;
*Issue 2*
When I try to build the report in report painter to extract the info from the journal using Table CCSS, the 3 caracteristics ( GL account, Cost Center, Cost Object ) are not available whithin the same report; I can only extract GL and Cost Center or Cost center and Cost Objct; same problem using KSB1 ( single posting for cost center ) or KKCS (single posting for cost object)
*Question*: is there a table or some setting i am missing in creating a report painter to extract simulaneously values by GL, Cost Center and Cost Object?
*General Question*
Is there any other "object of CO" i can use to achieve the goal highlithed above?
TA!
Domenico

HI,
question 1: if the cost object is used for different cost center/profit centers, assign the general profti-center to this cost object (or Dummy PRCTR). Even if its possible to leave it "blank" it does not solve your problem.
question 2: don't know, but sounds not so easy...
question 3 (general question): No
I used cost objects once for the same reason you are describing it and it was helpful, but I never had the issue with report painter...

Config for Cost & budgeting at activity level and WBS element level in PS

Dear GURU's,
please suggest me how to do the spro configuration for budgeting and costing, here my requirement is I need to do cost planning and budgeting at WBS element level and Activity level. We two deferent types of projects.
Regards,
Bha

Hi Bhanu,
Cost planning in projects can be done through two techinques:
I. Manual cost planning (at WBS level)
1. Overall planning (Struture-oreiented planning)
2. Detailed planning (Cost element planning)
3. Unit costing
4. Easy cost planning form
II. Automatic cost planning using networks and assigned orders
For customizing: Use transaction OPUV and enter the required entries for cost planning.
Budget can do only at WBS level. For configuration do the following steps:
1. Create Budget profile - OPS9
2. Assign Budget profile in Project profile - OPSA
3. Then allot budget to your project - CJ30
hope it will be very clear. Appreciate with point if it useful.
Thanks and Regards

Unplanned Delivery Costs Post to a different GL Account Cost Center err

Hi,
We added GL account in config (OBYC >> UPF Transaction key ) such that 'Unplanned Delivery Costs' entered during invoice entry in MIRO will be posted a different GL account. We also changed in config from 'Distribute among invoice items' to 'Different GL Line'.
When we try to post Invoice and add amount in 'Unplanned delivery costs' field in MIRO, system is giving error to enter 'Cost Center' since GL account characteristics is such that Cost center is mandatory. The Cost Center field at item level in MIRO is disabled. Remember, we want to process this for INVENTORY items only, meaning items that go to stock and later issued, and not for POs created with 'Cost center' as Account assignment. We can create another GL and no cost element and assign that GL Account in OBYC for UPF Transaction key, but the client's requirement is to create 'Cost Accounting Doc' too when invoice is posted, along with Accounting and profit center docs.
How do we fix above error ?

Can this scenario serve this purpose? If yes, how considering that the cost elements for fixed assets are statistical?

You can plan on statistical cost elements exactly as you do on real one. Please, specify your question...

Actual Cost Posting Into Project

Hi,
I need clarification about actual cost flow into Projects in a typical customer project scenario. The business process is as follows. Projects include engineering, procurement & manufacturing of equirpments. ROH items are procured from external vendors & issued to HALB / FERT for in-house manufacturing. Purchase orders are being created w.r.t. WBSElements & same for production orders also. Please suggest me what will be flow of actual cost posting into WBSElement in this process. Is there any configuration required for this.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Jimmy

ROH items are procured from external vendors & issued to HALB / FERT for in-house manufacturing
You have to use the MM Purchase order functionality, make GR to inventory and issue to the production orders.
Purchase orders are being created w.r.t. WBSElements & same for production orders also.
Ideally you may be better off in recieving, storing and issuing to WBS or production orders
Please suggest me what will be flow of actual cost posting into WBSElement in this process.
You can create WBS for capturing all engineering costs. Procure materials and debit WBs for actual consumption. Create production orders for manufacturing equipments and settle them to the WBS elements.
Is there any configuration required for this.
In order to settle the production orders to WBS, the settlement profile assigned to the order type shall permit WBS elements,

Issue with Cost Settlement through CJ88

Dear All,
I have maintained "Total Values check" in budget profile under time frame and "overall check" under availability control.
When i am creating service orders then availability control is working properly. But when i am trying to do settlement using cj88 then system is not allowing me to do settlement. It is giving message that budget is exceeded.Even though i have sufficient budget.
Can someone tell me why Availability control is behaving differently?How can i settle costs?I need to settle costs of the project against asset account and all WBS costs should get settled against parent WBS. I had maintained settlement rule for the same.
Regards,
Kamal

Gentlemen,
The solution is temporary as activating/de-activating availability control each time is not viable at the time of settlement run....check the following;
1. If the settlement cost element is a secondary cost element and flasgged as 21 (Internal Settlement).
2. Check the accounting documents after the settlement transaction is posted and look for the sender & reciever cost element.
3. Else request you to kindly explain your chart of account structure only to find out if the settlement reciever cost element is part of COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) cost element group.
4. If the date of creating service entry sheet is beyond the fiscal year as you have suggested that you have activiated both the indicators (Overall & Annual Values) i.e. if date of creation of service order and date of confirmation of service entry sheet.
Hope this is useful

Gl account and cost center in fb01

hi,
1 may i know why balance sheet account allowed to have cost center? in fb01, when i enter balance sheet account, cost center field is available.
2 why vendor or customer account not allowed to have cost center in fb01?
thanks
rgds

Dear,
Asset is one of your balance sheet account and it is often a need to track assets based on cost center so that it is available.
Vendor and customer are never tracked by cost cetners but the profit center. Because cost center are often like Production, Administration, Sales etc.
So vendor can not belong to aspects like sales, production etc. Moreover vendor and customers derive profit center from offsetting line item. Both cost centers and profit centers are not available in line item.

Conversion error in company code currency for general costs activity

PS Experts,
Please guide me in the following , The below message appeared when i created a customer project in CJ20N in our new DEV server
This is the scenario
Create customer project with 3 WBSE, each one has 3 NTW and 3 activities, i maintained the cost with currency same as project curr and company code currency in the first two act.
in the third activity (General act) in cost tab i put a currency is different than project currency& company code currency and tried to save the project, the message appears.
note: Company code curr same as projet curr & controlling area curr
Is there any setting is missing in customizing
Conversion error in company code currency for general costs activity 0010
Message no. CK443
Diagnosis
For cost activity 0010, a conversion error occurred in the currency of the company code to which the material is assigned.
Procedure
Check the global settings in Customizing to be sure the exchange rate for conversion into the company code currency is correct
Thanks

Hi Yassin,
I believe you have maintained exchange rates for rate type M as per your config in OPSB.
Now do one thing, maintain the conversion rate for P for those currencies in OB08 and then save your project.
This will solve your problem.

Kabir
