Determination of cost center ?

Hello,
I am working on SRM 5.5 , Extended classic scenario.
I have a situation, where i dont maintain any cost center in  the user attributes ( i.e. CNT attribute namely) .
However, When the user is creating a line of shopping from a selection in catalogs, a cost centre is filled automatically in the line of the shopping cart.
Could anyone tell me , how this cost center is being determined , when i am not maintaining any cost center in the user attributes ?
It is a little urgent.
Thanks in advance ,
Aravind Nair.

Hi Aravind
1  Check you have not maintain Cost center for any of the Org unit as it may even get in herited if you have maintained on the the upper nodes in the PPOMA_BBP.
Secondly Cost center is a mandatory filed as all SC are created with cost center for non stock procurement .
which scenarios you are using??
regards,
Nimish Sheth

  • How to determine a cost center based on a storage location

    Hi all,
    During material movement or stocked purchase, I need to determine different cost center by storage location. Therefore, i can't use OKB9 because the plant criteria is not enough.
    Is there any user-exit or another solution i can implement to solve this problem?
    Thank you for your answers.

    Hi
    As i said earlier, you can use MSEG itself in your substitution rule.
    For  Ex:
    Pre- requisite
    BKPF-BUKRS = 'XXXX' AND BKPF-AWTYP = 'MKPF' (and anyother criteria that needs to be applied)
    Substitute
    Field - Material (MATNR)
    is substituted by "EXIT"
    Create your own exit here & give your logic like
    If MSEG-LGORT = '0001'(your storage location values)
    then BSEG-KOSTL = 'CCTR1'.
    Let me know if you need any further details.
    Thanks

  • Best praxis for determining a  cost center for an HR org unit in PPM ?

    Hello all.
    We have defined the HR Org structure directly in PPM backend. Later the intention is that an interface should transfer this data from HR.
    The HR orgstructure defined works fine for the staffing process (with "resource manager via responsible organization"). 
    We have however run into some problems with the MLC & costing part.  The intention is to use manual MLC linking tasks/phases to PS WBS-elements (task based controlling).
    If we leave the org unit field blank in the cProject project project definition  we run into the message "No account assignment exists for the project defintion - no costing" and the systems rolls back from the assignment made.
    If we however assign an orgunit in the project defintion we instead get the message "No cost center could be determined for org unit 123...".
    <u>We therefore need to be able to determine a cost center for the Org Unit assigned to be able to proceed. How is this then best done?</u>
    There is a master cost center assigned to the orgunit in HR but not in PPM backend where this option does not seem to be available.
    With task based controlling the cost center does not really matter so it could possibly be hardcoded via a BADI (?) but is this really the way this should be done?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks / Anders

    Hi and thanks for the reply.
    We will test with an ALE replicated structure so that the object ID becomes the same in the two systems as soon as possible.
    Pending that we will try the BADI option. Here I am however not sure what it is we really expect the BADI to do.  Which field should be populated with the cost center (the fields available are mainly project characteristics)?
    I also eventually found some information regarding this in the PPM 4.0 help.  I enclose info regarding this below.
    a) http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ppm400/helpdata/en/index.htm
    b) choose Collaboration projects>Accounting Integration>General Information about Accounting integration>Derivation of Organizational data.
    As I read this the system derives this as follows in case of task-based or role-based costing with no resource assignment:
    1) Look for the two BADIs mentioned to derive the cost center
    2) If no result there it looks for an org unit in the cProject header (where I assume having the Org Unit with the same Object ID in backend and ERP enables this option)
    3) If no result there the system looks for a "requesting cost center" in the account assignment object (WBS element or internal order)

  • G/L Account determination for cost center

    Hi,
           When we issue the material with movement type 201 or when we do 202, we enter the cost center in the MB1A,  then  ref. to this cost center how to determine which G/L account is updated,   and if we want to know how much is total goods issue is done for a particular cost center which g/l  account to be check.
    regards,
      zafar

    system check the setting in Define Account Grouping for Movement Types
    for movement type
    201 what is account modifier its VBR
    then it check material number and takes valuation class
    then  it goes to OBYC and check the gl account under GBB
    and looks for Gl account for VBR and valuation clases
    and pick up the Gl accoun
    hope its clear now
    and in case of PO
    the logic for gl account determination for account assigned po is as below
    for cost center u give K
    for this K it goes in Maintain Account Assignment Categories and check what is Acct modification it is generally VBR
    then it check if u have given material number and takes valuation class and if material ordered is with out material code then valuation class is blank
    then it goes to OBYC and check the gl account under GBB
    and looks for Gl account for VBR and valuation clases in case on manteria number
    or VBr and Blank entry for valuation class
    and pick up the Gl account
    Hope now its clear

  • ME21N: COST CENTER DETERMINATION BASED ON STORAGE LOCATION

    Hi,
    When creating a purchase order (ME21N) I need to determine the cost center based on storage location. How can I solve this problem?
    If the solution goes through creating an USER EXIT, please, have in mind that my knowledge about ABAP is really poor.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Priyanka,
    first of all, thanks for your quick response.  By COA I suppose you mean Controlling Area.
    Secondly, isn't possible to implement something like this for purchase orders?:

  • Exchange rate difference KDM in MIRO - cost center used

    We have recently testing to setup KDM Exchange rate difference posting in LIV and encounter the problem of cost center cannot be determine for PO with account assignment A (For asset) and P (for Project).
    The question is how does the system determine the cost center for the exchange rate different account? It doesn't take the default cost center from the configuration in OKB9 but extract the cost center from PO Account Assignment - for Asset Account assignment, there is no cost center in PO and thus it is giving a error of 'Field Cost Ctr is a required field....'
    Any help appreciated.

    Dear Murali: Yes, GL account is maintained in OBYC for KDM transaction, I am following the OSS note 980402 for the setup (ECC6 system). The GL account say is 60000005. In OB09, we have maintained the entry for this account 60000005 to have a default cost center (e.g. 1000). This cost center does not get defaulted when MIRO posting is done with exchange rate difference. Instead, the cost center is obtained from the PO (e.g. the account assignment in PO have cost center 5000). But for certain account assignment (e.g. 'P' for WBS and 'A' for Asset), there is no cost center maintained in PO account assignment and thus in MIRO i get an error message as mentioned above.
    Dear SAPFICO: check the asset master also, althrough there is a cost center in Asset Master, it does not get extracted into MIRO postings.

  • How to Override Cost Center in IT 1 based on certain conditions

    Hi,
    I have a pretty good understanding on how Cost Center gets defaulted based on Org Structure.  The standard SAP solution for Cost Center will not work for my client and I need to determine the cost center based on certain conditions. I understand that I have to write custom code in some user exit or badi. I tried user exit EXIT_SAPFP50M_001, but it did not work.
    Here is my code:
    DATA: I0001 LIKE P0001.
    CASE INNNN-INFTY.
        WHEN '0001'.
          CALL METHOD CL_HR_PNNNN_TYPE_CAST=>PRELP_TO_PNNNN
            EXPORTING
              PRELP = INNNN
            IMPORTING
              PNNNN = I0001.
    This is just an example to test the concept
    I0001-kostl = 'COST_CENTER'.
         CALL METHOD cl_hr_pnnnn_type_cast=>pnnnn_to_prelp
            EXPORTING
              pnnnn = i0001
            IMPORTING
              prelp = innnn.
    endcase.
    When I change IT 1 record and hit enter, I can see that my code is being executed. I can see cost center being updated on the screen, but when I save it, its not able to retain that new cost center value. This might be because cost center is not an open field.
    How can I change my code so it retains its value after saving?.
    Thanks!

  • Difference between cost center & Responsible cost center in asset master

    I want to know difference between cost center & responsible cost center in asset master on following perspective.
    1. Financial accounting veiw -
    2. Business & report veiw.
    I have read through F1 help
    Cost Center
    Key uniquely identifying a cost center.
    Use
    The SAP system uses the cost center assignment in the asset master record to determine the cost center affected when the following types of asset posting are made:
    Fixed asset depreciation
    Gain/loss from asset sales
    Cost center responsible for asset
    Cost center that is responsible for the asset, but which does not carry the depreciation for the asset.
    Example
    For example, the cost center "vehicles" can be responsible for all vehicles, while other cost centers carry the depreciation for the vehicles
    I can understand from F1 what will be the impact on finance accounting.  My question is how it helps in reporting etc & business logic for using responsible cost center. Which report will be usefull to see data at responsible cost center.

  • Cost center and movement type 551

    Hi all!
    Can the cost center be determined automaticaly when creating this movement type 551?
    Regards

    Hi Eduardo,
    first of all the field status of the MM movement type (trx. OMJJ) has to allow cost center (set to repuired or optional). Afterwards you can use the CO substitution to determine the cost center.

  • Sales order line item assign to cost center

    Hi Experts,
    I would like to know how can I assign a cost centre to a line item in a sales order? Currently we are assigning our line items to a profit centre.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Best regards,
    Catherine

    Dear Catherine,
    One way, to assign a cost center to a sales order, is based on Sales Org, Dist Channel, Division and Order Reason code.
    T. Code: OVF3, or
    Path: SPRO --> IMG --> Sales and Distribution --> Basic Functions --> Account Assignment --> Assign Cost Center
    For More, refer -
    [Assign a Cost Center manually in a Sales Order|http://www.sap-img.com/sd007.htm]
    Best Regards,
    Amit.
    Note: You must consult with FI-Counterpart, and check with:
    T. Code: OKB9
    Using this Transaction, you can determine a cost center, from profit center, maintained in to Material Master.
