Depreciation GL is Cost element or Not?
HI,
In Asset accounting,will we create Depreciation GL account as Cost element or normal?If we create as cost element what are the additional configuration needed.
Kindly clarify me
Thanks
Sunitha
Hi,
you only need a cost element if you want to post the depreciation also to the Controlling application CO. Then you need it to include cost centers or internal orders into the depreciation documents. If you don´t need depreciation in CO, you do not need to create these cost elements.

Why this error message is comming, however all cost elements are automate come from co code 1000....right....how to solve this issue...please anyone do help.....
how to copy cost elements to new co code from co code 1000 and How to extend existing cost centers to new code. Ex: co code 1122 has 3 cost centers and we need to extend the same to co code 1123. Controlling area is same for both co codes.
ThanksHi Eli,
Really, i appreciated for your help.
But, still my question is not to be answered. I am giving entire picture what i have done earlier.
1. I have copied 2 co codes(CACA & CACB) from 1000 co code
2. I have created new chart of a/c (CACA) and assigned to co codes
3. I have co area as INT and assigned to co codes
4. I have copied gl codes to 2 co codes from 1000
5. I have created 5 cost centers newly in 1 co code area
Here my question is:
- We need to extend same cost centers to another co code
- When i am changing cost element, system gives error like no CE in co area..why? and how to resolve?

We have a peculiar issue one of the BPS Variable defined for Cost Element is not displaying text in one of the Planning Layouts.
Another variable is displaying text in another layout.

Am I missing something....appreciated your quick support.
Thanks & Best Regards

Activity Type: cost element does not exist
Dear All,
I am working on ERP configuration for PP module as an academic exercise. I am already through with FI, CO and MM modules.
I am not able to get through the Activity assignment step in PP module. (Accounting u21D2 Controlling u21D2 Cost Center Accounting u21D2 Master Data u21D2 Activity Type u21D2 Individual Processing u21D2 Create). While creating activity type labor (labor hours), I am getting error "cost element does not exist for aggregated period"
In CO module I have created primary cost element for "Labor"(Category: primary cost/ cost reducing revenues). Also created secondary cost element for labor (cost element category: Internal activity allocation).
Can anybody guide me on how to go further?
regards,
SupriyaDear
Please revivew the following steps when you are creating a New Acvity type :
OP51 - Check Settings for formulas
OP54 - Check formulas for Costing
Ensure that usage of the parameters are indicated. Some parameters are appropriate for capacity calculation but not for schedule calculation. If you like to find out the parameter id, you could use the Search Fld. for Param. pull down button to do so.
KLH2 - Maintain hierarchy of Activity type group.
OP19 - Define standard value key
The purpose of standard value keys is to group together a set of parameters for the purpose of ensuring that the standard values for the parameters are supplied in the operations of the routing. This is so that the formula (for calculating cost, schedule, and capacity) could have the necessary figures to work with. Once the parameters are associated with the standard value keys, work centers quoting this standard values will be able to dictate whether or not the parameter values are optional or mandatory entry in the operations of the routing. The pre-requisite for using this transaction is that the parameters must have been pre-created.
KA01 - Create Primary Cost Element for the new activities type. Maintain Correct From and To date inline with Activity Type KL01 - Create Activity Type tied to the primary cost element. (the Cost element field)
KP26 - Change Activity Type/Activity Price Planning - maintain the Variable price
If the user include the additional activities in their work center, the routing that used the work center will required more time to finished the jobs.
The operations Start and Finish date will be extended due to the extra time spent on the work center. The cost of production increases in line with the extra activity which will be reflected in the Factory Output when you do a cost analysis in the production order. The new activity will have a price attached to it and the moving average price will increase.

Webi report on OLAP Bex query - Cost element Hierarchy not working Drill down
Hello,
We have a BO report on Bex query, Not on universe, we have a Hierarchy for Cost Element Group, and we are expecting the Drill down functionality for that in BO report, but it does not.
Webi report on OLAP Bex query - Cost element Hierarchy not working Drill down
Any pointers how to do it please
Thanks
KrishnaHi,
WebI reports on BEx source don't use same Drill feature as other sources, it's replaced by expland/collapse of hierarchy nodes (documented in WebI user guide in § "24.1 Drill defined"). This means you have to create query which selects all hierarchy sub-tree you plan on exploring later in report, otherwise if no data is available under a node there will be no '+/-' sign to visit this part of tree.
You could try first to select "All members" from hierarchy in QueryPanel and see if behavior in report suits your needs. Then you should restrict hierarchy member selection to what's really needed to avoid performance issues.

Cost Element column not appearing in IW31/ IW32 transaction
Hi,
In transaction IW32, in Operations Tab --> click on External Button (below shown on IW32 screen).
Now under External, click on Services tab (1st option), here Cost Estimate column not appearing.
We tried to add through configuration option on this window. (there shows table setting --> click on administrator, now you can see Edit system settings, here Cost Element - ESLL-KSTAR shown with TICK on Invisible checkbox).
How can i Untick that. I tried but after activate, it again appears.
Plz guide..Hi,
Where a cost element exists on the operation External TAB, input of the same data on the service line is not allowed. In that case the system decides that this data field should not be available on the service lines. Where the is no cost element on operation then entry is allowed on service line.
This program logic is overwriting the field configuration on the table setting for service entry grid. This is why the invisable flag cannot be changed.

Cost element is not assigned to a cost component
Dear All,
On trying to run costing for finished good having one BOM component, system create error in costing log as-
Message no-239-Cost element 954001 is not assigned to a cost component 1
On seeing details:
Cost element 954001 is not assigned to a cost component
Message no. CK239
Diagnosis
The system attempted to generate the cost component split for the material, but discovered that no assignment has been made in cost component structure Z2 for cost element 954001 and possibly for origin group .
System Response
The cost component split is incomplete. The cost of goods manufactured in the cost component split is therefore less than in the itemization.
ProcedureGo into Customizing for Product Cost Controlling and carry out the assignment for cost component structure Z2 and chart of accounts AICA.
where i am missing the required setting.
please guide
regardsHi,
Use T.Code OKTZ for the relative cost element has to be assigned to one of the components there in
the cost component structure. Choose the nature of assignment for eg. raw material, choose the source and give the cost element. Then choose Assignment and give settlement through Cost center, Order.While coming back activate the cost component structure and save. Try for the Costing.

Values not populated in S_ALR_87012806 for a specific cost element
Hi all,
Postings made to specific cost element are not populated in report S_ALR_ 87012806. Can anyone throw some light on this?
Thanks
ShravanHi Krishna
I dont think "Cost Accounting > LIne Item" would work for Master Data
You can use exit COOPA_01 (SMOD) > Include ZXAUFU08 (Part of EXIT_SAPLKOAU_002)... I have used this for similar purposes in the past

Report painter cost elements description is not picking
HI
Report painter Consolidation system - in which the description of the cost elements are not able to display while runnning the GR55 by giving the Report group PCC2
Please assist me
RegardsHello,
when you plan with trx. 7KE5, activity will be PCAK.
Report group 8A80 should show the figures correctly. When I plan with 7KE5 and afterwards run the report, the activities PCAK and RKP4 are shown.
Maybe your report is not correct. You should import report group 8A80 from client 000 with trx. GR59. Afterwards you have regenerate the report group. Does the report afterwards show the figures?
Have you checked with trx. 2KEE or KE5Y if the values are shown there?
In case it is not shown in 2KEE and KE5Y - have you saved the planned values?
Cheers,

Cost Elements not to be created
< MODERATOR: Message locked. Please post this message in the [Controlling forum|SAP ERP Financials - Controlling;. >
Hi All,
Can you please let us know, which type of P&L accounts should not be created as Cost Elements in Controlling . . .
We have list of such accounts which are not to be created as Cost Elements. Pl let us if the list is correct or not.
Cost Elements should not be created for the following.
1 Change in work in process WIP
2. Cost element for cost of goods sold transactions. (P&L Accounts maintained in OBYC > GBB > General Modification VAX)
3. Production order variances. (P&L Accounts maintained in OBYC > PRD > General Modification PRF)
4. Do not create any cost elements for financial and tax expenses if you want your CO-PA structure to stop at earnings before interest and taxes
5. Price Difference account should not be made as cost element.
Please explain for situation where COPA is implemented and where COPA is not implemented . . .
Any guidence in this regard will be of grate help . . .
Regards,
Ravi KumarHi,
Your list is not viable.
See, cost element only can be made for P&L item.
U can't make cost element for B/S item.
For P/L item also , u need to understand company's policy and requirement.
In your list
change in WIP is a B/s item so it is not a cost element item.
O ther Gl like cost of goods sold , generaly no company follow this GL as such head is a part of costing sheet reporting .
U need to asssigne GL which is related with that head in costing sheet.
Any way your gl like price difference, Prod order diff etc must have cost element . other wise U will get fake report on Controling.

Activity types cost Elements not reflecting in Cost Centre Report.
Hello SAP Gurus,,
1. Here we are facing one issue in Zreport. total is not matching, compare with KSB1.
Values are more in Zreport, in other words activity type cost elements are not reflecting in Zreport, but it reflecting in KSB1.
example: flow from PM module.
Actually we had used logic based on the Cost Centres, in that cost centre by taking Object number and it passes to COEP table, then we are getting values as same as KSB1.
As per investigation i found that the object number is differ from COEP table and CSKS table.
Exapmple : 1410000 object number in CSKS table, 1410000EL in COEP table, thats why in Zreport these values are not reflecting.Finally our requirment is , Zreport values should same as KSB1 vlaues.
2. We need same functionality as same as KSB1 for match code or drop down menu functionality for Cost Centre Group and Cost Element Group, but while user wants select from match code or drop menu (F4), as of now i didnt given any logic to abap for match code functionality or drop down menu (F4),so in this case which logic or table i have to use.
So please give me inputs or logic how to over come the above points.
Regards,
Raj.The OBJNR field structure is as follows :-
AABBBBCCCCCCCCCCDDDDDD
AA = object type eg. KS (cost center)
BBBB = controlling area
CCCCCCCCCC = cost center
DDDDDD = activity type
Based on the structure, you will be able to filter the relevant cost center/activity types. You can also use other fields eg. cost element, partner object, source object, value type, etc. to get your desired figures as per KSB1. -
AFAB asking for new cost elements not used before.
AFAB returns error indicating a range of cost elements that was not existing in the previous system and in the new system (ECC6) as well.
I like to know why this error when it is not being used and how to rectify to allow AFAB.Hi,
Cost elements does not exsist so there is no question of validity in master data.
It is asking to create cost elements. So, i want to know why the system is asking or from where it is picking up?
We have not used this cost elements before.
