Cross Department charging

We are thinking of looking at ways to cross charge from one Cost Centre to another. We currently do this via timesheets for employees. However we want to look at cross charging amounts for desk space etc. Obviously we could do this through journals, but is there another way? Would it involve invoicing for example?
Any help gratefully received.

Cross charge amongst cost centers are covered under the area Allocations in Cost center. You can set up a cycle in an allocation method called Assessment, specify the sender and receiver and basis of allocation.
You run this cycle at period ends to carry out the charge.
KSU5 is the t-code.
You can also use KB11N for simple cost allocation between cost centers. There is no invoice involved in either case.

Configuring cross company charge

Happy new year to all!
I'd like to know if anyone has been successful at configuring EBP to allow an user to charge across multiple companies in one shopping cart. If so, could you please provide some info here on how to go about setting that up? Or where I could find further information on cross company charge?
Greatly appreciated,

Hi,
Please assign the different company codes for user atribtes itself..then try to shop then definitely you must see differnet company codes if you go details tab...

Cross Company Charge

Hello All,
Does anyone know if standard SRM allows a user from one company code to create a shopping cart and charge it to another company code? Is this controlled through the org structure attributes or does it involve the use of BAdIs as well?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
SN

Hello
I did not get your question clearly.
Do you want to create SC for cross company codes? What is your business scenario.
For cross company purchasing, maintain multiple Compny codes with attribute BUK for the user in the org structure. Then in the SC you can select the company code you want.
Charging to different company codes is something not logical to any business.
You cannot select the CC from other company code as they are tied up to each other in FI and you will get an error.
Reward points if helpful.

Battery symbol with red cross wont charge

ive had a blackberry crbe for about 4 months it is brillaiunt condition , but all fo a sudden the phone switched off and now wont turn on . ive tryed charging it but all that comes up is a empty battery sign with a red cross
i had it on charge all night and have tryed 3 different chargers and 2 batterys and still nothing ?
help ?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Given what you describe, I think you've done all of the diagnostics that you can...kudo's to you for having thought to try what you did! But, what it indicates is a hardware-level problem in the BB itself, somehow not communicating properly with the battery. For this, only a qualified service technician with the BB in their hands can diagnose any further...and that can't be done at an internet-distance.
If your BB is still under warranty, then take it in for evaluation. Your warranty service provider is whoever you bought the BB from -- your mobile network provider or your authorized reseller would be who you go talk to next.
If your BB is out of warranty, then you can talk to those same folks about other options.
Good luck!

CC Org Rules usage

Hi experts, i just want to have a quick check on who have implemented Org Rules in any of their implementation.
In a big Organization where staff are in charge of cross department or region, we need to eliminate false positive. One way is to determine whether there are many of such staff who contribute to such false positive.
a. If there are only a few, does it make more sense to mitigate these users or create Org rules to eliminate such cases?
b. Also , i'm not very comfortable to know that when i go to Informer and run Risk analysis with org rules, i need to run the report under 'Org. Level' and not 'User level'. It seems like an extra burden on top of running the normal User or Role level.

Hi,
Generally, if there are only a few users that show up and they are definitely false positives, it's better to create mitigating controls to remove them from the report. However, if there are a large number of users, then you have to examine your rule definitions to determine whether customization of the rules is required.
Thanks,
Santosh

Open Payable,Receivable & Trial Balance!!

Hi Guys,
I need your help in Trial Balances.
Our company has aquired a small firm which does not use Oracle ERP.
Now we are planning to merge them under Oracle EBS.
My question is what information do we need to bring related to their
trail balances so that we can reconcile GL with AP,AR & INV.
1) Open Sales Invoices
2) Open Payable
3) Advance Payment
is there any GL component related to this to be brought in??
Thanks in advance
Prashant Pathak

1) Open & Pending PO
No Accounting impact unless you have encumbrance. So you do not have to worry.The only thing you need to worry about is definition of open PO. If PO is received but not yet billed you ought to have accrual balance in your old system (assuming accrual basis of accounting). If you convert these POs, when invoice is matched to this PO (this is no receiving expected as goods are in inventory or consumed), you have to make sure to use the accrual account (it should default). It is kind of a mess as you have to train people carefully to look for holds, which one is received earlier which one is received now and so on. Ideally the value of these POs+AP invoice value conversion with the accrual account should match with you accrual balance in your GL conversion.
2) Open & Pending SO
No accounting impact.
3) Open & Pending AR,AP Invoices ( may be we might close Open invoice's in old system)
AP for liability and distribution accounts, I think you should use actual liability account and reclassify later in GL (reclassify the one that was converted in GL) and for the charge account, you should use dummy accounts as the account could be accrual or actual department charge account. As this will be coming in GL, just make sure that the values match.
4) Open & Pending Receipt
Not sure whether you will be using a dummy bank account or actual one (accounting for cash and clearing are derived from the receipt classes) for converting these receipts. If cash gets converted in the GL into actual cash account (sensitive topic and highly individualistic to each implementation), then you have to use dummy cash account. If not in GL you have to use dummy cash account.
5) Customer
No accounting impact
6) Vendor
No accounting impact
7) Item
No accounting impact
8) On Hand Inv ( what about the cost of this inventory? How do we tackle this in GL?)
In inventory when we covert we have no choice in choosing the material account (inventory account) as it is taken from organization (average cost) or subinventory (standard cost) so on. Hence we cannot change that. The only thing we can change is the account we pass while doing on-hand conversion. Usually we call this guy as Inventory Clearing account. Depending on your set up (different inventory accounts for different organizations) you have to use different clearing accounts.
So in inventory conversion you generate
Dr Inventory account
Cr Inventory Clearing Account.
In GL you bring in the value of inventory account into Inventory clearing account. When you transfer from inv to gl, clearing account gets squared off.
Thanks

Main Projects and Sub Projects

Guys,
This is my scenario.
The projects that we are going to work has got a lot of activities and needs to be brought in to Project System. Since there will be a regular changes in the project and rescheduling to be done, the person who is responsible for the whole project will not be able to do the process regularly.
We have come up with the thought of distributing the work to different departments such as PED , RND, PURCH, QLTY etc... such that, each deaprtment Project* their work with different WBS elements (hopefully using CJ11) and finally all these wbs elements being connected to the Project definition which is created by the project manager. If there are any changes made to the WBS element the dates should be automatically rescheduled, which is available in SAP PS.
This can be a sub project kind of an idea. Minor projects under One main Major Project.
Or for eg.. Multiple projects of a department under the Departments' Project definition.
So guys, let me know if this concept could be done in PS.
Any kind of help will be really appretiated.
Pls reply if you have any doubts in the scenario.
Thx.
Sbks.

Nitin,
Hope that you understood my scenario, and as I could do it partially with your reply.
To be more clear from my side. Our plan crosses department wise rather that the projet plan flow. You can find the eg below.
1. The Project manager would create the project definition and would communicate this to all the dept heads and wait for them to create the WBS elements.
2. The dept heads would Project* their plan in to the system individually, entering the duration for each activity. This process is done by the cross functioning departments working on the same project.
3. The dept plan would later be linked to the Project definition by the project manager himself, and as the duration is already given scheduling would be carried out subsequently by the project manager.
Current Plan.
Design
Complete drawing - RND
Flow analysis - Design Dept
Design Approval process - PED and MKTG
Machines
Identify Supplier - PED
Get plan from machine manufacturer - PED
Getting quotation - PED
Negotiate & finalise - PURCH
Raise a Procurement Requisition - PURCH
Manufacturing - SUPPLIER
Receipt - PED
Installation & commissioning - PED & QLTY
Tools
Identify tool - PED
Prepare tool list - PED
Decide make / supplier - PED
Get quotation for standard tool - PURCH
Raise a Procurement Requisition - PURCH
Receipt and Calibration - PED & QLTY
The Plan goes on....
As you can see the activities that are given above involves inter-dept employees.
This is the plan what we have in mind..
Plan from Marketing
Plan from Design
Plan from AEG
Plan from RND
Plan from Purchase
Plan from Quality.
Instead of following the Activity Flow we were thinking of a Department wise flow.
Could this be done in Project system.
Pls Help.

Automatic Posting Between 2 companies in the same system

Dear colleagues:
I have the following scenario:
a) Companies GS01 and GS02 are both in the same system.
b) Company GS01 paids the telephone bill for both companies.
c) Company GS01 charges or bills the proportionale part of the telephone bill to company GS02
d) Company GS02 creates an account to pay and pays to GS01
e) Company GS01 applies the payment and the bill is concluded.
My customer wants to optimize the process. I found the following document in the wikki part of this forum and did the customizing as it is explained:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPLO/Inter-CompanyBilling-AutomaticPostingToVendorAccount(SAP-EDI)
I have a lot of questions:
1) How is the procedure?. how does it start?, with a Purchase Order or Sales order?
2) Has anyone done this before?, is it possible to make it work?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards

We are using this for some cross-company charges for services. One company is set up as a vendor and another as a sold-to party (in your scenario company GS01 is a vendor and GS02 is a sold-to) with the special customer account type for inter-company billing.
We create a special sales document (VA01), then bill it in VF01 (it's order-related billing). There is a EDI output RD04 assigned to the corresponding billing document. This automatically creates an outbound IDoc and an inbound IDoc, which posts an FI document to Company 1.
There is some configuration required in SPRO and partner profiles need to be maintained in WE21. I think SAP Help and the link above explain it rather well.

Ok, this is just getting ridiculous...

Just for kicks, I did a live chat with a Verizon Rep about my order. Now, he did not have any information on my account - I was not authenticated on the site. "Brett" goes on to tell me that the 9/19 ship date does not exist for anyone and that phones will ship on 10/7 not 10/13. I didn't even bother to continue, I just closed the chat.
I think we all realize the madness these phones cause and the logistical nightmare it can cause for carriers, BUT THEY KNEW. It happens every two years. The lack of IT preparedness, cross-department socialization of WHATEVER the story was going to be for consistency's sake and the general apathy being displayed by far too many Reps is plain ridiculous. Come on Verizon. Admit a mistake, people can take that. Your system issues caused people like me to have to wait 3 weeks for a device I was TRYING to order at the starting gun, make it right.Verizon Wireless Customer Support

RE: "Can I return it?" Yes, if it is within 14 days of purchase, and if you did not purchase a custom MBP (e.g. picking a different HDD from the default). You will pay a 10% restocking fee.
RE: "Can anyone at Apple confirm that a new driver is on the way" be aware that Apple does not read these forums. Since you just purchased your MBP and are within the phone suport period even without AppleCare, you can certainly call them and log your issues that way, or provide feedback here.
If you do call, be prepared to be told the problem rests with those 10% of your applications, which need to be updated by the companies that developed them. (Apple is not responsible for ensuring that every piece of software out there runs on their machines...) So, your best bet is to contact the companies for the apps that are not displaying properly.
Probably not what you wanted to hear, but I hope this helps...

Purchasing for different company codes

Hi Experts,
Running SRM 5.0 and experiencing problems when trying to implement the following scenario:
User A located under one company X/pur.org XX/pur.grp XXX should be able to place a PO through Process PO (Only through PO direct, no SC used) transaction for another company Y.
In attribute BUK of User A both company codes are maintained.
When placing the PO for User A the purchasing org YY and pur.grp YYY of company Y is selected (as well as the location for Y). PO is placed for the "other" org.
The next transaction User A does is to place a PO for his "own" company. The pur.org XX and pur.grp X is defaulted from the org.structure. When trying to select the location through the find search the location of the previous transaction is the only one displayed (location for Y), as if the system thinks the user is in the "other" company code. It is possible to manually enter the BP number of the right location. However all validations against the PO still is made against the wrong company code..and the PO can not be placed
Is this scenario not possible through the Process PO transaction? Are there any settings that can be made to get around this?
Would appreciate any input.

SharePoint Best Practices / Enterprise team/collaboration

Hello all,
So I consider myself an expert in SP. I have quite a project ahead of me and am trying to work through the best possible way to move forward. Long story made short: we have 'team sites' that are pretty much solely for department usage. However, our organization
often crosses department boundaries with collaboration efforts that while one department may own, have a need to pull in various staff members to the efforts. Much of these efforts are either continual or recurring. In hopes to not have a million separate
sites, (ok so not a million but too many) am trying to plan out the architecture for our inside SP to look something like this: Intranet (root) -> Committees (sub) -> Committee 1 {etc} (sub sub)Teamsites (sub) -> Dept 1 {etc} (sub sub)
Ok so with this: in many cases (let's say IT) we have documents (instruction guides) that would be enterprise purposed. There is also information that is for IT only. So my thoughts was to make the top level team site the "enterprise read' site, then
if there was content that was for IT only it would be secured via document library or a sub site of the main team site. (I prefer the later as I think it is cleaner).
I have researched this and have read everything from 'do not use team sites' to pretty much be convinced there is no standard way to support both an enterprise collaboration / departmental use for SharePoint. I am very much about clean architecture and do
NOT want SP to be a mess (which if not done correctly it will be). I am also about business process. I want it to SUPPORT the business and not be a hindrance to getting work done.
Any thoughts to this would be fantastic as I really want to see who else is using it in this way and what you have done, works well, does not work well, etc.

Only some tips, never collaborated with someone else, being the solo teacher. You didn't mention which version you are using, what I write here is meant for CP7.
Be sure to prepare a theme and/or a template that will be used by everyone. A theme consists of master slides, object styles, skin editor. Master slides can have custom navigation shape buttons. In a template you can eventually also prepare different slides with placeholders, and eventually advanced actions etc. For CP6 and earlier that is the only way to reuse advanced actions, in Captivate 7 you can export shared actions that can be imported in any project for reuse.
A feature that few users know about are the external libraries. You can open the library of any project as an external library in another project. That is a good idea to store assets that you want to use in different projects: images, audio clips, video clips, eventually equations. The shared actions in a library can not (yet?) be used in another project however.
If you are on CP7 you have automatically the roundtripping with source Adobe Photoshop files and source Audition files, both from CC. That can also make collaboration lot easier if those assets are prepared in those applications. Will not expand on that, because I'm not sure you have the Creative Cloud applications.
Those are my two cents.

How to create cross charge AP invoice through Payables Open Interface Import

Hi,
I am working on developing an AP invoice interface program for creating cross charge invoices in Oracle 11i.
Cross charge invoice means the supplier & site is from operating unit A, but the costing should hit the project number in Operating unit B.
The pa_projects_all.allow_cross_charge_flag for the project number is set to Y. I am using below scripts to enter data into the interface tables:
<code>
INSERT INTO ap_invoice_lines_interface

Have you customized/setup the Project Accounting Workflow builder. You need to do some setup for this workflow builder so that the project accounts can be derived properly.

Does SQL Azure charge cross region traffic cost?

Say, I have a SQL DB on West US, and have two cloud services, one hosted on West US and the other hosted on East US.
Assume two cloud service have exactly same read/write throughput on the DB, is the cost same? I am wondering, if East US service cost more since it need cross region traffic?

Hi,
Is data transfer between Azure services located within the same region charged?
No. For example, an Azure SQL database in the same region will not have any additional data transfer costs.
Is data transfer between Azure services located in two regions charged?
Yes. Outbound data transfer is charged at the normal rate and inbound data transfer is free.

My bb 9380 won't turn on while the screen shows one battery sign with red cross mark ( not charging sign )

my bb 9380 won't turn on while the screen shows one battery sign with red cross mark ( not charging sign ), i think the battery drained and switch it for charging but it will show only not charging sign . i bought this phone before 9 months, whats the solution for this ?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!

Projects Cross-charge functionality Vs Inter-project Billing

Hi,
We are currently evaluating the funtionalities of Project Cross Charge Vs Inter-project billing. Our setup is such that we have 3 Legal Entities, 3 Business groups, 3 SOB's and 3 operating units, each tied to their own legal entity, Business group and Set of Bools. When reviewing the documentation, it looks like the Cross charge functionality does not support operating units that are in two different business groups. Does that imply that we have use the Inter-project billing to charge projects across operating units.
We will really appeciate, if one can provide some additional insight in this regard.
Regards,
- Vasu Krishnaswamy -

Hi,
It is possible to have cross charge across the Business groups. It is also mentioned in Oracle Projects fundamentals guide. Please refer to the Global Project Support Chapter. Below is the extract from it.
Providing Data Access Across Business Groups
Global enterprises have resources and projects that are located, managed, and accounted
for in different business groups or different countries. To meet the needs of these
enterprises, Oracle Projects provides the following functionality:
• Globally located resources can charge their time and expenses to projects that are
owned outside their respective business groups.
• Resources can manage and administer projects located in different business groups.
• Oracle Projects produces appropriate accounting entries, intercompany invoices, and
management reports even if the resource organization and project owning
organization have different accounting calendars and job definitions.
This functionality is provided through the use of global organization hierarchies, global
jobs, and cross charge functionality.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Sathish
