Create cost centers under a center

Hi Gurus
Can someone help me with this issue.
My PP colleague wants to have three cost centers C1,C2,C3 created under Cost center A. The three cost centers represent robots used in production. He wants to have production of these robots roll up to cost center A. My problem is I cannot remember how to create a cost center under another cost center, let alone three of them under the same cost center.
Please help asap
Regards
Manette

Hi
There is no such feature in SAP.. You can just have a Cost center group (KSH1) for reporting purposes.. There is no concept of Cost cneter under a Cost center

Probs during creating cost centers

Hi CO Gurus,
today i have 2 questions:
1. I m creating cost centers in my ides system. i ask me to run V8J: Maintain Cost Center Hierarchy first. can anyone tell me when should i run this.
2. when i creating cost centers using ks01, it reports Controlling area XXXX does not have a standard hierarchy (please assign one).
3. when i was creating the standard hierarchy, it said You have not yet created a cost center standard hierarchy for COAr IDCN
can anyone guide me how to fix this prob.
any response will be awarded.
thanks
samson

For creation Cost Center, Creating of controlling area in OKKP and creation of noranges for Controlling docs under Groups In KANK is required. But whenever you require assign Profit center to Cost Center then only you can create Profit center group under Hierar key under KCH1 later create profit Center in KE51 and assign it in Cost Center.But it is not mandatory to create Cost center. while creating cost center it gives worning message to remember you about non assingmet of profit center if you ignore it with pressing enter then cost center is allowed to create.
assign points in the way of say thank.

Function Modules, for listing Cost centers Under a manager

Hi All,
1. Can any one please suggest me any Function Module available for listing the cost center under a manager, given only the Manager's username or pernr.
2. And also the Function Group which has the collection of Function Modules which deals with operations and reporting on Cost centers from a Manager's Role (basically on budjet Monitoring aspects).
Thanks and Regards,
Girimurugan

If this is the followup of the previous post (responsible person) and you wanted to get a list of cost centers based on that using a FM , i doubt that there is a FM available for that. You have to read the table to get the info.
When you say manager, he could be a manager for a HR organisation but the cost organization may be different. in a typical set up it would be a cost center group (which will have set of cost centers under it) and this will be linked to a hr organization.
All this is purely based on how cost center hierarchy (standard hierarchy) and hr organization maintained and how they are linked.

Error while Creating cost element under category 90

Dear Experts,
I have some Balance Sheet related G/L account, which I have created as cost element through transaction KA01, system gives an info message saying its an BS related account, if I ignore that message and proceed further it creates a Cost element with category (system automatically picks the category and the field gets into gray mode) 90.
We have created one more BS G/L account today and trying to create the cost element for the new G/L account, system is producing an error message:
G/L account 3200220 is a balance sheet account
Message no. KS036
Field status group     R005     Material accounts is maintained
Can some one guide me to rectify this error?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Praveen

Hi,
The use of cost element category 90 is only provided
in the following two cases (note Note 75980):
1. asset acquisitions and down payments which are
   assigned directly to a fixed asset or asset under construction can
   be assigned to an account on internal orders or WBS elements
   statistically.
2. cost elements of category 90 can also be created
   for material stock accounts to display material make-to-order stocks
   on sales orders or customer projects.
If you G/L account does NOT correspond to the standard cases 1) or 2),
you can (on your own responsibility)
both deactivate the account assignment
check in the CO interface (message KI098) and when you create cost
elements (message KS036). Both checks are deactivated by maintaining
Transaction OBA5. Deactivate message KI098. Message KS036 cannot be
deactivated directly with Transaction OBA5 - rather, it is deactivated
indirectly when you deactivate message KI098.
The message must be DE-ACTIVATED. Please do not set it to any other
type. Please proceed as follows:
Please call OBA5 in the production system - if not set to changeable
please do this in Your development system.
In OBA5 choose KI and in the detail screen add 098.
Then set the type of warning to "-".
Best regards,

Create New Cost centers in HR Module

Dear friends,
i wan't to create new cost centers in SAP
we have different Profiles in our company like GSM,WLN,CDMA,WLNGSM,CDMAWLN,GSM+WLN etc and that in differernt locations
i wan't to create cost centers so that any new employee created should fall under some Cost center.
thanks

Hi,
A small correction to your understanding.
If you go to PO13 and assign the Cost Distribution, it means --> you are assing the cost center to the 'Position', but not to the employee.
Now, while Hiring an employee.. you will be giving above "Position" (which is already assigned with Cost Distribution).. The cost center for the position will become Master Cost center for the employee.
Example
Lets say you have a cost center assigned to the Position and it was your Master Cost Center.
Now If you assign one more Cost Center by using IT0027 in PA30... It becomes your Master Cost Center but not the one assigned to the Position.
Have a good day...!

Cost centers transportation

Hi,
Here is a small clarification regarding Cost Centers when i create cost centers the request is not displaying only the at the status line cost center saved message is comming.
Where it is storing how i should transport to quality or some thing..
pls advice me ..
Reg.
Pandu

You can transport all CO Master Data including reports etc.
in the IMG follow the menu path:
Controlling->General Controlling->Production Start-Up Preparation->Transport System Settings->Transport Settings for Master Data
You have to specify Controlling area and Chart of accounts
Normally Master data is sort of static data (that means that it is a changing dynamically unlike GL accounts which is more stable) and unless your project methodology is to create these first in your development system first then transport.
I personally would do this once bulk of master data has been created and transport <b>once</b> only to to a client since the transport will first delete an entry and try to create again, may have issues with this.
Sometimes you will be forced to create this type of data (cost centers, profit centers, activity types etc) in the Configuration client if you need to make settings in OKB9 or 3KEH etc.
Hope this helps

Regarding Mirror Cost Centers issue.

Hello SAP Experts,
Let me tell you some background of our requirement. We are having our new Company codes in Mexico. We created new company codes as asked. now very different senario for me becasue I never came a cross like this requirement.
For Mexico company codes we have different Cost centers. We have total 4 company codes. Now we have one plant in USA that is belongs to Mexico. We created new cost centers for Plant that located in US Company code in System but physically it belongs to Mexico. We created cost centers same as in Mexico company code as like Plant that is in US Company codes. We are tyring to get mirror data in Mexico Company code from Plant located in US Company code. let me give you example
Plant in US Company code      Mexico Company codes
Cost Center 33550 R&D          Cost Center 34550 R&D
Cost Center 33551 ***.          Cost Center 34555 ***.
this example is about how we can get all the values from plant cost center that is in US Company code to Mexico Company code. We are not transfering from cost center to another cost center. This requirement is about how we will get all cost center mirror value from different company code to anothore company code. In our requirement we want to trasport all the value that is available in Plant(USA) to Mexico company code.
Issue i found out.
There are different currencies in cost center US Plant currency (USD$) and Mexico company code Cost centers have (MXN Peso). I think this will not issue becasue our group currency and controlling area currecy is (30) (USD$)
I am more concern about how should the copying cost center to cost center will work. We came out sloution to write program with help of ABAP programer. But before starting I like to know if we can see any other configruation part for the requirement
I am new to this kind of requriement please shoot with guides and some references. If you experts needs more information please let me know thank you.

Cost Centers Issue

Dear Experts
We have difference in Cost Centers from Production and Quality.
With out creating,is there any possibility of copying the Cost Centers from Production to Quality.
Thanks & Regards
KumarRaja

Hi ,
You can even transport Master Data from Development Server to Quality and Production Servers. The transaction code to do it is OKE6 But you need to excersise lots of cautions to do this. The following note explains that -
Caution
If, prior to the transport, you have already created master data in the target system (whether manually or through a different transport), this data is lost when the transport takes place.
Since in the target system the master data but not the transaction data is deleted, transporting data into a system that already contains data can lead to inconsistencies. You should therefore maintain the master data in the target system manually.
Example
You have manually created cost centers in controlling area 0001 in the target system. You want to transport cost centers in controlling area 0001 from the Customizing clients into the target system.
If you execute the transport, the system deletes the manually-created cost centers in the target system.
The system then imports the new cost centers into the target system.
In a normal scenario , it is best to avoid taking this route and upload the master data instead of transporting it .

Venkat.

WBS Elements and Asset Under Constructions have different Cost Centers

Hello Experts,
We have created a WBS element in one of the projects.
As per standard process, when we create the WBS Element the Asset under construction is also getting created through the settlement rule within the WBS.
These assets should have the same Cost Center as the WBS has. However we are in a situation wherein the Cost Center in the asset under construction is different than the Cost Center in the WBS.
I have checked the settings like automatic account assignment, etc but all settings look correct.
Can you please explain first what could be the reason for such a difference between Cost Centers in WBS and AuC's and what is the solution to avoid it in future?
Thanks in advance
Leena

Thanks for your replies...
@ Alex - There is no Investment Programme ID maintained for this WBS in question since there is no IM for this project.
@ Abdul - Please elaborate more on Validation and Substitution.

Leena.

Is it possible if overtime calculated under 2 cost centers.

Hi experts outhere,
I have 2 question to ask :
1. Is it possible if overtime calculated under 2 cost centers. For example, IT exec working overtime this week in IT dept. The overtime will go to IT cost center.Next week, IT exec working overtime in HR dept,and overtime calculated under cost centers of HR dept.
2. Calculation for current rate based on 8 hours working hours. Is it possible to have another calculation for those who working hours 7.5 hours.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
1. Similar to what was already suggested you can assign posting cost center in IT 2002 "Attendances" or 2010 "Employee remuneration" (see button "Cost assignment" or Ctrl+F2).
2. The answer depends on how you compensate overtime: a) you use standard procedure with table V_512W_B and compensation is based on hourly rates. Then system should use right hourly rate for 8 and 7.5 h. daily WSR, b) you calculate compensation in the PCR, then you have to adjust PCR.
Cheers

Configuring ISR Scenario SRK1 (Create Cost Center Request) with Adobe forms

Hello,
I am trying to configure the ISR scenario SRK1 (Create Cost Center Request) with Adobe Interactive Forms.
However when I am trying to generate the form, it is giving an error TR015(Object can only be created in SAP package)
Apparently by default it tries to create form Adobe form ISR_FORM_SRK1.
Even if I change that name to ZISR_FORM_SRK1, it tries to create interface ISR_IF_SRK1 which is in SAP's namespace and I cannot generate the form. I cannot seem to be able to force SAP to use a different Interface name. The field for the interface is greyed out and is not picked up
Am I missing any step or is there any fix to this problem?
regards,
Atul Kulkarni

Hi,
From the config it picks the formscenario(SRK1) and prefixes the same for adobe form.
I think the best option would be to copy the Stnadard form scenario to ZSRK1 and proceed. This copy can be done from the config 'Manage Form Scenarios' under this select the option 'Copy form scenario'. This copies the entire config from SRK1 to ZSRK1.
