Deriving cost center from primary cost elements

Hello CO Experts,
For few types of cost, we want to derive a cost centre when we enter a particular GL account in financial posting.
Does anyone know if there is a way to link a primary cost element to more than one cost centre?
The CE master data has only one cost centre field in the default acc assignment tab.
I have two possibilities:
- enhance the master data by additional fields eg. cost center group
- is there some sort of derivation for primary cost element / cost centre?
NOTE: We are not using activity types and are talking only of primary cost elements.
Thanks in advance
Best regards, Deb

Hi,
you could realize it via a substitution OKC9.

2. when we settle the PM order to concern cost center correspondant salary(primary posting) doesnot reverse.
it will apear in administrative cost center 100 (this is Primary posting)and PM work down cost center 50 ( this secondary posting)
suppose we want cost center reports actual Rs.100 (Primary posting)salay shows --- Administration Rs.100 and PM work center Rs.50 which are not corret against Rs.100
but my client want cost center reports for financial report requirment purpose...... Please suggest senario and how I over come this problem.

Hi Ranjan,
Booking of Administration cost center with primary posting, will reverse when we do PM order settlement to concern service cost center.
for example
A administration cost center incurred Rs. 100/- for (Salaries)
B Service cost center is settlement cost center of PM service Order Activity price is Rs.50/- which is based on administration cost center cost.
Now we go for cost center report, we mention A and B cost centers cost for the period A shows Rs.100/- with primary posting and B shows Rs. 50/- with secondary cost element as per our client requirement as per based on secondary posting, concern primary posting should reverse concern administrative cost center
I gone through the reports, primary not crediting the administrative cost center and secondary cost is debiting against service cost center.
Please suggest how I configure for primary reversing based on activity cost when settling service Order activity cost.
Thanks

Hi,
There is no 'derivation' funcitionality as such available. Thoough, you can build a CO substitution via OKC9 and, based on your fund centre, set the cost centre value.

Cost Center Report with Cost Element wise Subtotal

Hi All,
We have a requirement where customer wants a Cost Center report with Cost Element wise Subtotal and selection options required are Company Code, Cost Center, Cost Element.
KSB1 solves the requirement, but when executed for 2 or more company codes it is taking 3 to 4 hours.
The other alternative report we tried is S_ALR_87013611- Actual/Plan but this report gives debit and credit values in seperate columns.
Please let me know if we can copy the report S_ALR_87013611 and change it using report writer to have the output by Cost Element wise total.
Also please let me how we can increse the speed of KSB1 report.
Thanks
Satish

for KSB1 Report the following is my suggestion
1. Please go to the selection criteria for the cost elements and de select the secondary cost elements in the the exclude range and try running the report this is generate the report faster.
2. also check the date range please give the date range for 3 t months and if you want to run for multiple company codes. if you want to execute it for longer periods say 9 months or 6 months generate the report in 2 to 3 installments and download them to your excel and consilidate them in excel for your analysis

Transaction data from one cost center to another cost center

Hi All
Can any one tel me how to move the Transaction data from one cost center to another cost center .
My scenario is basically : Users posted for company code 1003 for Cost center S00570 for the period 01.04.2007 to 30.11.2007 but it has to go to company code 1000 instead of 1003 for the same Cost center .S00570 .
What we have done is that we have changed the cost center from 01.12.2007 on words to the correct company code 1000 and now all postings are going to the right company code ie
to company code 1000.
Now the problem is how to bring back the old historical data posted from 01.04.2007 to 30.11.2007 to wrong company code the 1003 to correct company code 1000 .
Is there a way to bring back the historical data which has posted to wrong company code .
Thanks in Advance .
Any help highly appreciated and points are assigned .
Cheers
Ravindra.

Once you have changed the company code in the master data, then the entries with respect to the different company code cannot be transferred. Please follow the process below and let me know if it works.
1. Revert the cost center master data to the original company code.
2. Repost the line items from this cost center to another cost center. Use tcode KB61. The cost center you will be reposting will be a routing cost center (say XXXXX).
3. Once all the line items have been reposted, change the master data of the cost center to the correct company code.
4. Again repost the costs from the routing cost center(XXXXX) to the correct cost center. You should have all the line items to the correct cost center now.
For more on reposting refer the link below:

Ajay,
Thanks for your reply.
Actually this is a requirement for our BW system. I checked all the records to find their OBJNR start with "OR", but we need to get the function area information. Do you know how can I get that?
The link below listed all the fields we have on BW side, actually it has function area, but it returns blank, we tried to apply one OSS note in the source ECC system, but still no value returned for this field. So we have to find another way to get the function area.

Cost Center in the costing sheet

Hello All,
We have set up the costing sheet with the material overhead flowing to a cost center 99XX through cost element 8XXXXX (in the "credit" view of the costing sheet) for all production orders. Now, there is a requirement whereby the material overhead for production orders of a certain division need to be allocated to another cost center 91XX.
Please let me know if this is feasible and if yes, how this can be done?
Thanks,
Rugmani

Hi Rajan
What is the basis of overhead absorption? I mean is it a % of some cost or Quantity based?
Different credits for same secondary cost ele is possible only by way of origin group.... And origin group is applicable to the input components in a BOM and not the Output (Header) material
A. So, if your overhead absorption is based on input materials and if these input materials are specific only to one Division/ Header material, you can achieve what you want with the std SAP functinality. But, normally in a prod scenario, this is not the case... One input material can be used across multiple divisions...
B. If this is not your case, then may be you need to consider CO substitution using a user exit or the relevant exit/BAPI called during CO43
C. Another option is to post the credit to one cost center and then do KB11N to transfer it to relevant cost center.... Info required to do this can be easily made available Like this
1. Double click on the credit line items in a cost center report (S_ALR_87013611) and choose to display actual line items
2. Plug in the partner object using change layout option
3. partner object will show you the Prod Order No... From prod order no, you can get the material and the division....
you can develop an ABAP report to give you this info...

Cost Center and res cost center

Hi team,
When i am going to settle the cost of PM Order , COst center pick from Equipment sonly. Then what is the use of assignemnt of cost center in work center.
thanx in advance

Hi,
How do I call you? SAPPM is not appropriate!...
You are attaching one cost center to your work center that supplies required resources (activity types) to perform the maintenance - in IR01. That cost center is to maintain the rate of the resource (Activity types) ie. Rs.500 / Hr or day - in KP26.
Whenever you are utilizing a resource from a work center, system refers the cost center / activity type combination to determine the cost. Based on no. of hours or days utilization, the planned cost / actual cost are determined from the Wctr, Cctr, Acttypes.
These are so called Source of cost center.
After completing the order, the cost incurred are with the maint. order. Now we need to settle to a cost object, it may be a cost center / WBS / Contract / PSEG etc.. depends on your business requirement. You may use a cost center as a Cost receiver / cost object to observe your maintenance cost of an Equipment / Func loc / or its group.
As a whole, the work center / cost center is used to determine the cost (Source). Equipment cost center observe the cost of maintenance(receiver).
Hope this description gives required clarification . If not, Revert back.

Is it possible to assign a cost center from SD billing to FI doc in SAP?

Hi All,
Our users hope to create a billing and change a revenue account to a expense account. (because this billing is not revenue and user hope it is cost reduction)
But the expense account has created a cost element and set the cost element category as 01 (Primary costs/cost-reducing revenues). User can create billing, but can not post FI document. The error meesage is "Account XXXXX requires an assignment to a CO object"
How can I change the account do not need cost center?
Or may I assign a cost center at SO/Billing?
Best regards,
Eric

Hi
See Note 301077 - User exits for the interface to accounting and try with the proper enhancement (perhaps EXIT_SAPLV60B_004). Try to populate the field ACCIT-KOSTL, because I think that with customizing tcode OKB9 you could not do it.
I hope this helps you

How can I make a Splitting in Cost center accounting by Cost elements?

Hi experts:
I have defined a splitting structure and I would like to split the cost bettew fixed and variables cost.
To to that I have defined two different assignments and in the selection for each assignment I have completed the "Field label" with:
In the first assigment I would like to have only the "fixed cost" and I did the next:
1. Cost element (I have entered a Group) the cost which is in this cost element group is 4.000.0000 euros
2.- Activity type (I have entered a Individual value)
In the second assignment I did the same but with a different Cost element group (the original amount was 6.000.000 euros
The problem is that when I have executed the transaction to do the split, the system split the 50% of the total cost (10.000.000 euros) to each assignment.
How can I make if I want that the system split the cost based only in the "cost element group" which are defined one of them for the "Fixed cost" and the another one for "Variable cost"??
Are there any method which can split a total Cost for a Cost center based only in the cost amount for a cost element group??
Thanks a regards!!

sry. im not from the united states, and I never think to spell when posting on forums
Your site's customers will think of it, and they will regard such errors as the mark of a sloppy vendor, not a sloppy webmaster. And I'm not sure what being from the US has to do with anything.
I want to position the container in the center while having absolute positioning, is that possible?
I have doubts, I've seen a lot of people saying that u can't center a container with aboslute position.
Then you should remove those people from your circle of trust. Of course it's possible.
Make the container relatively positioned, and centering with an explicit width and auto left/right margins. The inner absolutely positioned elements will center along with their positioned ancestor.

Allocation of cost from service cost center to production cost center

Dear sir ,
Will I use to distribute the cost from service department to production department and that cost centers also using for activity planing will get currect result in product costing ?

Hello,
Can you clarify what you want to do ?
Allocation of cost from service cost centers to production cost centers can be done with the help of Assessment / Distribution cycles and you can do a activity planning using the same costs as well. The steps for activity planning would be as under:
1. Create primary cost planning in the service and production cost centers (KP06)
2. Create activity planning in the production cost centers (KP26) without any rate
3. Run assessment / distribution cycles to transfer cost from the service cost centers to production cost centers (KSUB / KSVB), in case you are not transferring based on activity quantity then also do SKF planning in KP46
4. Run plan cost splitting in case you have more then one activity type (do config for splitting structure beforehand) (KSS4)
5. Calculate Plan price for the production cost center activity types (KSPI)

Remove Coste Center from Account

Hi Experts,
Can you tell how i can remove an assignated account GL from cost center.
The case is this, we have an account (P&L) who has registration to cost center, but now, we dont like to do this
The case is as follows. Until now the GL account (P&L) )was charged to a cost center. But from now we do not want this. We can remove the asigancion's of this account to the cost center?
Tks

hello
Generally you made account assignment through cost element master or OKB9. If you want to delete the account assignment delete in the OKB9 matrix as cost element mster is not possible as some values are already posted.
solution for the problem
remove the account assignment from OKB9 and change the field status group for particular gl account cost center make it mandatory if not done already so that your value from now onwards posted to the different cost center which you are going to enter in the transaction.
If you don't want use that particular cost center, change the description as not use or use personalised settings. Because this type problem we have faced.
