Differences in the bill cost center for area valuation

Hi experts,
When creating an invoice with MIRO transaction we have a difference in the invoice, that difference is imputed to a expenses/benefits account. The standard tries to get the cost center related to that expenses/benefits account assigned in the transaction OKB9.
We need to take the cost center from a valuation area, which is in a lower level in the OKB9.
Is it possible to do it with and FI or CO sustitution, how? Or can it be done in another way?
thanks very much,

You have some options around this. You can set the system up in such a way that the "differences" are posted to the same place as the original posting, be it Cost Element-Cost centre combination, Material, etc
If you want to keep the purchase price variance account, you can use a cost center per plant/valuation area, by setting it up in OKB9.
Regards
Piet

  • How to change cost center for employee

    Hi,
    I want the engineering groups to change to different cost centers for this new year.I was able to change the home cost center for a work center through IR02. But not able to change the home cost center assignment for specific personnel through PA30. SAP allows to enter the cost center but while saving it gives the error message as "Start date after initial entry date (01/01/2010)" when I used a 01/01/2011 start date and "Cost Center does not exist on 01/01/2010" when I used 01/01/2010 start date
    Could please tell how to change the cost center for the personnel?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Jegashree

    Hi Jegashree!
    The Cost Centre is always assigned in creating Position. So If you want to change Cost Centre, please using T-Code PPOME and find the position and change the Cost Centre.
    The another way, you use t-code PP01 (create) PP02 (edit) to change the relationship (IT 1001) and A-011.
    Hope you can solve it.
    Regards!

  • Forgot to assign Cost center for one of the GL account and positing are don

    Hi All,
    I have created GL account but forgot to assign Cost center to that GL, now some 1000 documents are posted in that account,
    what is the best way to resolved this problem.
    your respond is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Supriya.

    Hi Supriya
    In such scenario, always keep the below 5 steps in mind
    1. The T code is OKBA (and not OBKA)
    2. Create the cost element and assign a default cost center in KA02
    3. Execute OKBA by inputting the 1000 doc nos
    4. All these vlaues will hit one single cost center
    5. Now do a KB11N if you wish, to transfer the values from This cost center in KA02 to the desired cost center....

  • How to get the cost center for the retro balance.

    Hi All
    I have this report that gives the retro balance. I get the information from RT and BAL. The problem is it doesn't show the Cost Center for the retro amounts. C1 holds the current periods payments not the retro ones.
    Does any one know how can i get the Cost Center of the the amounts that wage type /552 is showing in the RT?
    Please Help!!!

    Hi
    I am not sure on the requirement. You are developing a FI report and accessing VA03 which is sales transaction. Anyway for getting cost center you can go to table VBAK,VBAP for line items.
    Hope solves ur problem

  • What are the possible cost objects for raw material consumption postings

    what are the possible cost objects for raw material consumption postings. i want to know whether it can be work order(maintenance order).

    For example, you are confirming a process order and issuing raw materials to the process order, the system in the background creates the consumption posting and will by default use the process order as a cost object.
    Similarly, when you are issuing materials to a work order, you will use MB1A and with movement type 261 and the system prompts you to enter the order number.  If you are using movement type 201, then the system prompts you to enter the cost center and so on.
    Thanks,

  • Select cost center for physical inventory difference posting

    Hello,
    While posting physical inventory differences (transactions MI07 or MI10) the choice of cost center is not offered. A default cost center is used by the system.
    Is there a way to choose the cost center for inventory difference postings? This is useful considering we have several inventories managed by several business units with different cost centers.
    Kind regards,
    Sergei Volkov

    this is from OSS note 13423:
    Symptom
    Key word: Inv acct assign
    No account assignment can be entered when posting inventory
    discrepancies.
    Additional key words
    MI07
    Cause and prerequisites
    This function is not implemented.
    Solution
    In Customizing an account assignment can be made for every inventory
    adjustment account. To do this the inventory adjustment account must
    first be defined as a cost element (Transaction KA01 / KA06):
    Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost centers -> Master data -> Cost element
    -> Create primary / secondary. Then an account assignment can be made
    for the cost element (Transaction OKB9):
    Tools -> Customizing -> Setup menu -> Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost
    centers -> Actual postings -> Automatic account assignment.
    If this account assignment is implemented every posting to the
    particular inventory adjustment account will automatically receive the
    appropriate account assignment.

  • Is there a way to redetermine the cost center for an internal order on a PO

    When we create a PO for an asset we enter an internal order number and a cost center is determined from the internal order. Sometimes after the po is created the cost center on the IO changes. The po is not updated automatically on the PO and it results in the wrong cost center being posted to during the Goods Receipt and invoice receipt. Is there a program or batch job that we can run that will redetermine the accounting data on a PO?
    Thanks!

  • Override Company and Cost Center for FI Posting from HR Payroll

    Hello all. I have this scenario with a company that was merged into another and retroactive payroll occurs for absences and extra time in the "old" company, but the "old" merged company is closed so no postings can occur.
    I also found this unanswered post:  How to Override Company and Cost Center for FI Posting from HR Payroll

    Does anyone have dealt with the same problem? What is the solution?

    The CO account assignment object belongs to company code 0001, not 0057
    Company code 0057 is now closed and has been merged into 0001.  Cost center 14515 in the above doc was populated by my clone of RPCIPE00 and call to my BAdI which retrieved current company and cost center from PA0001.  You can see from above that the 'header' data still shows 0057 and indeed, my version of RPCIPE00 only changes P_ITEM-BUKRS, P_ITEM-KOSTL and P_ITEM-SGTXT.  It looks to me that fm HRPP_TRANSLATE_FICO gets the 'header' company code afresh.  I was planning to leave WPBP-BUKRS (and all other Payroll data) alone (ie, not override company code).
    As for your other question, we post retros to /551 and /552.

  • 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.

  • Approach on Cost Center for Vehicles

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement to analyze the cost and profit of the vehicles internally. These vehicles can be assigned from one plant to another every month. Right now the setup for cost centers is grouped by the company site only. What is the best approach on this requirement?
    I have listed some solution and one of the approach was to create cost centers for each vehicle. So for each vehicle counting at around 200 should be maintained in the cost center hierarchy. Is this the best possible solution?
    Also what about the Report that shows the cost center vehicles profit and loss? it should show under a specific cost center group but because of the behavior of the vehicle cost center, every time the vehicle cost center is reassigned to another cost center group, it should also show in the report that it has been maintained in the right cost center in that duration. So the report will reflect the cost center under cost center group A, example last month and another cost center group B, this month.
    Also I am considering Profit Center but I am not familiar with the idea.
    Please help on this solution. Thank you so much.

    Hi
    1. I am not sure how your vehicles are going to earn revenue.. From your question, I assume yours is a mfg concern, then how and why does the profitability of vehicles is important for your business, unless yours is a transport business.. Correct my understanding, incase wrong
    2. Cost centers (CC) would not be the right approach... You cant post revenues in a cost center... They can be posted only statistically in a CC
    3. Use Internal Orders (IO).. In IO Type (T Code KOT2_OPA), allow for revenue postings as well.
    4.
    a. Your numbering of the IOs can be same as vehicle no for the sake of simplicity.
    b. Or Else, you can capture your vehicle no in any of the free fields and create a New Search (F4) help based on this field in T code OKO1...
    c. Or Else, you can create new fields for IO to capture Vehicle no, include them in Structure CI_AUFK. For this use exit COOPA003
    5. Once you post your costs and revenues in IOs, you can derive prof reports either from standard IO reports or create a new one using report painter
    6. Now Coming to your question of identifying the vehicles under plants in which they were under a certain period - I would suggest to drop this requirement. However, if you still want to have it, then maintain a Z table in which you have fields like IO, Plant, Dates From and To. Based on this info, you need to create an ABAP report

  • Acc.assignment object replaced by current master cost center for employee

    Hi,
    I am facing a peculiar warning message while running the payroll posting run for only 2 employees.  The warning message s as follows:
    "Acc.assignment object replaced by current master cost center for employee
    Message no. 3G399"
    Prior to this, there were an error saying the
    "Account assignment objects are incorrect. No substitution is possible.
    Message no. 3G209"
    Later we found that the Position was not assigned to that employee properly.  I later assigned the correct position.. but still during the posting run the warning message appears.
    Please let me know if this is okay or is this an error which restricts the postings.
    Regards,
    Balaji TR

    Your postings will go through with the first warning message. However, please be warned that any account assignment related entries (IT 0027, 2001, 2002) will be wholly ignored.
    Check if any entries have been made to different cost centers for the erroring employees. If so, check for the reason why those entries have been made (since it is evident that the configuration does not support such entries). You may need to tie in with a CO consultant to ensure that there are no loose ends.

  • 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)
    Regards / Anders

  • Change cost center business area in one year

    HI,
    Our user create a cost center and wrongly key in a business area value. The cost center valid from Jan 13 2010 to Dec 31 9999.
    And already some transaction data post to this cost center.
    Now i want to delete the business area in the cost center master data, SAP will give error message.
    Do you know any way to delete the business area for the cost center?
    Or if i debug to change the business area (i do it successfully in quality system), whether it will have some other problem?
    Thanks.

    Hi David,
    You are right. It looks like you can only change business area on a cost center master for the period starting from next fiscal year.
    You can just create a new cost center with correct business area and use transaction KB61 to transfer the postings from the old cost center to the new one. If you have NewGL turned on for business area reporting, GL-CO reconsiliation is automatic. Otherwise, you will need to run KALC after executing KB61 or at the end of month. Of course, after all is done, you would block the old cost center from any transaction and delete the cost center for the period starting from next fiscal year.
    Regards,
    Ming
