  • Automatic creation of cost elements

    Dear All,
    The automtic creation of cost elements functionality is not working for some GL accounts in production. When new GL accounts are created, the same are not created as cost elements. All the standard settings viz 'selection of automatic creation' in controlling area configuration, creation of number ranges in OKB2 etc are in place. We posted in OSS and they are not able to find reasons why this is happening.
    Has anyone faced a situation like this? Please post your valuable thoughts and share your inputs. We currently have a log created by user on this and pending for quite sometime.
    Thanks in advance
    Venkatesh

    Hi,
    Yes. We do face problem like this often. We wriggle out by updating through manually when we are very nearer to go-live date. Otherwise, we can create an abap program and meet the deficiency.
    Trust this helps much!
    Cheers!

  • Manual/Autometic creation of cost elements in chart of accounts field

    Dear Friends,
    While creation of Chart of accounts (OB13) under  Controlling Integratiion tab
    thers is two options are there.
    1 manual creation of cost elements
    2 autometic creation of cost elements.
    While creation of cost elements if we select
    (MANUAL CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS) what will happen???
    (AUTOMETIC CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS) what will happen?
    What is the main difference between about two fields?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    MANUAL CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS -  Cost elements maintained manually. A push button is available for
    this purpose, with which you can go directly to the related cost
    element.
    AUTOMETIC CREATION OF COST ELEMENTS - Cost elements maintained automatically. When you save a new G/L
    account, the related cost element is automatically created. A prerequisite is that a default value for the cost element category
    has been set up for this cost element. If no default value is found, the system will not create a cost element.
    You can make default settings via :
    Cost Element accounting --> master data --> cost element --> automatic creation of primary and secondaru cost element --> make default settings

  • Restrict Creation of Cost Elements

    Hi All,
    I have a situation in which I have to restrict creation of Cost Elements for some of my P&L GL accounts. Is there any way I can restrict them. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    MKR

    Hi MKR,
    I would recommend not to have any validations for this.. This is the heart of the whole system and needs to be maintained in a very disciplined way
    If you put hard stops for such things, people will never understand the relevance of things and slowly the mind set evolves like "Unless the system gives a hard stop, any thing and every thing can be done"...  So, they go on creating nuisance in the system till the system stops them
    Moreover, there is no logic by which you can control this even if you try for an ABAP check... If you do still, it will propose probs in future...
    Provide the authorization for creating/changing cost elements to one single person who understands the system well and have a central control...

  • Creation primary cost elements

    Primary cost elements can be generated in batch for creation, but then it seems to me it's all of them or nothing.
    Is this also possible for 1 year for instance or for a limited number of cost elements, via another transaction for instance.  MASS create?

    Hi Walter,
    First of all you have to select automatic creation of cost elements for your chart of account in OB13.
    Next in OKB2, you have to specify the cost element category for the range or single cost elemets.
    Next create batch input session in OKB3, here you can give from and to valid date.
    You have to execute the created batch input session in SM35.

  • Service activity creation & automatic cost element picking up

    Dear All,
    We are facing a peculiar problem while creating a service activity in Project creation - CJ20N (Project Builder).
    1)     Created a project definition. ( say u2013 X200)
    2)     Created parent WBS element.
    3)     Created one Network.
    4)     Assigned one service activity to the network.
    5)     While assigning service master to the service activity, system is asking for a cost element. In other words, the cost element is not automatically picked up for the particular service master. Actually, while creating earlier project (say X100) & assigning service activity, system is correctly defaulting the Cost element.
    6)     Here the service number which we are using is the same as used in the earlier project (X100). In X100, based on the valuation class in the service master & settings maintained in the transaction code OBYC, correct GL account is getting picked up. 
    7)     We can give the cost element manually. If we do this, system is giving another message u2013 u201CSystem could not determine a consumption account for service 2000000202u201D, though it is maintained for the valuation class in OBYC.
    Why the cost element is not getting defaulted? Pl advice in this regard.
    Thanks & regards,
    Gov

    Check out the Network profile & Plant of of both the project
    Case 1 X100   May be getting defaulted from  network profile
    Case2 X 200   You might be using different network profile where you would have not maintained  CE.

  • Creation of Cost Element in trading Company

    Hi,
    Ours is Trading company. We do not manufacture any products and hence we don't have production or process orders.
    Should we create price difference (due to difference in goods receipt and invoice receipt) and Cost of goods sold G/Ls as cost elements?
    Please reply.
    Regards,
    Bijay

    Hi,
    If you are using controlling, you can create those accounts as cost elements. It is all depends upon the requirement. Is this price difference account effect your cost reports?  i mean if you use this account for management accounting reports you can create this account as a cost element.  In the same cost of goods sold acocunt also. 
    The rule for creating an account as cost element is .. is that account effect your controlling/management accounting or not. If yes, create as a cost element otherwise no need.

  • GL account and Cost elements

    Hello All,
    I am looking for a report to check the GL accounts and the cost elements. I want to check if the cost element is been created for all the GL accounts and incase if I missed on the cost element for any GL account then I should create it.
    Is there  any standard report or even if I have to check 2 reports that would be fine.
    Thanks
    Priya

    Hi Priya,
    1. If automatic creation of the cost element is selected in your chart of accounts then you check it out list in transaction OKB2 where there is less scope to miss the creation of cost elements.
    2. If it was not activated or activated later then take the GL Account list from SKB1 and cost element list from CSKA and use VLOOKUP functionality of excel.
    Creating query will not help here because filed GL Account and Cost element are different even though they have the same value.

  • Mass update of cost element description - edit a table

    Hi Folks,
    i would like to know wich is the best way to update thousand of description of cost element!
    this is due to the fact that i have 4 differents languages to manage....so every time it's necessary to enter them in 4 languages, but the problem was that nobody have done like this, so now i have discrepancy at description level and i want to update...quickly.
    i was thinking about table editing in CSKA i know it's not the right way to procede but it's only description and i don't want to spent time in making catt....
    In any case i would know wich is the command to edit  a table, for my knowledge.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    To edit a table type &sap_edit in the transaction window, while being in SE16N and entering the table. However, the right table for texts is CSKU and not CSKA.
    Alternatively, you can do mass creation of cost elements 4 times while log-on in different table (OKB2 and OKB3 transactions).

    What is the TC for mass maintenace of  cost element like TC :fs15 for gl
    With regards,

    Hi krishna,
    there is no mass maintaiance of the Cost element. only automatic creation of cost element.
    this automatic creation is also one time job. after that only very few cost element will be created.
    and also to be noted is the data under the cost element is alos very less : only thing are assigned. and there is no
    that ia cost element cat, defult account assigment only.
    every time u create a few G/L u can go for the automatic cost elements.
    hope this is clear.
    give me some points.
