Dimension Design - Cost Centre

Hi All,
I'm midst of designing a Cost  Centre, dimension which will need to have Entity, Profit Centre ID, Profit Centre Description, Cost Centre Group, Cost Centre, Cost Centre DEesription and Process, I see some of the will be Hiearachy rolling up. Starting from Entity to Profit Centre ID & Description and to Cost Centre Group, Cost Centre and Cost Centre Description and finally to Process
My query, is what is the element should be in Dimension and its memeber and properties ? I guess currency, owner ...
do I need to have a column of Profit Cetre from and to side by side, what about Business Unit, and how does EVDESCRIPTION fits into this scenario ? does it carry Profit Centre Description or Cost Centre Description ?
Please advise
Thanks
Zan

Hi,
You can maintain Entity, Profit Centre ID, Cost Centre Group, Cost Centre as IDs and all their descriptions in the evdescription. The entity type of dimension must have currency, owner and / or reviewer property. The rest of the properties will depend on the actual requirements.

  • Dimension 1 Cost centre field is not able to edit in Incoming payment for Down payment Request

    Hi Exports,
    I am facing an issue on selecting Cost centres in Incoming payment screen.
    Issue: While I am booking the payment entry for Down payment request, I am not able to select first Dimension cost centre in Incoming payment rows for down payment request document, the Second dimension is able to select and update. the field is in non-editable mode (only on specific document row)
    Setup:
    1. Two Dimension are enabled
    2. In Separate Columns - Both Cost Centres are in separate column
    The above issue is only for Down payment request, for other documents (Invoice) I am able to select and update cost centre
    Please find below snap shot for reference
    Kindly check and let me know the solution
    Regards,
    Kiran

    Hi Gordon,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes agree, The Down Payment request is not a financial document but the Cost centres are able to select in Down payment request rows, no issue at all in this case.
    In Incoming payment screen it is necessary to select Cost centres because it has financial implication using down payment request with related to currency difference or Bank charges (both are Expense accounts) and DR assignment is mandatory in this case.
    And you have to notice one thing in above issue, I am able to select second dimension cost centre and it is allowing to edit and update the cost centre on respective row. Only issue is specific cell (dimension 1 cost centre) is not able to edit.
    Even I am not able to process payment entry without selection of Cost Centre on first dimension, the system is blocking and displaying the error message "DR Assignment is mandatory on Dimension 1 for specific account"
    Looks like bug, please clarify

  • Restrict Query By Cost Centre

    I have a number of users who recieve a budget report. The query in the report is restricted by a variable on Cost Centre. There is an authorisation logged against the user in RSECADMIN for cost centre so when the report runs it knows they only have authorisation to view budgets for that specific cost centre.
    However I want to design another report that shows overtime spend for all cost centres. If I give the users authority to view overtime spend for all cost centres the budget report restriction fails e.g. they have now got access to all cost centres and see all budgets.
    Is there anyway around this?

    In that case it is very simple and yes you can separate both authorizations.
    In RSECADMIN built two authorizations:
    Aut_1:
    Cost_center: only the cost centers the user should have
    0TCAACTVT: 03 (display only)
    0TCAIPROV: <The_InfoProvider_the_query_restricted_by_only_some_profit_centers_in_here>
    0TCAKYFNM: * (all key figures)
    0TCAVALID: * (Valid for ever)
    Aut_2:
    Cost_center: * (all cost centers)
    0TCAACTVT: 03 (display only)
    0TCAIPROV: <The_InfoProvider_the_query_restricted_by_all_profit_centers_in_here>
    0TCAKYFNM: * (all key figures)
    0TCAVALID: * (Valid for ever)
    Give both authorizations to the user. When the user opens the query built on the InfoProvider that exist in Aut_1, the system will retrieve the Aut_1 authorizations values, therefore, only some Cost Centers.
    When the user opens the query built on the InfoProvider that exist in Aut_2, the system will retrieve the Aut_2 authorizations values, therefore, all Cost Centers.
    This is because, the systema builds union on 0TCAIPROV characteristic. If they are different, then, different values are granted as you wish.

  • How to add budget cost centre wise ?

    Hi Experts,
    I have created 5 dimentions and various cost centres with in each dimentions.
    dimenstions are as follows.
    1.Product
    2.Employee
    3.Department
    4.Zone
    5.Branch
    Now I want to enter budget by profit/cost centres defined within this dimentions and then wish to see various reports like Balance Sheet / Profit & Loss Report by filtering on Dimension.
    Thanx
    Prashant Kapoor

    Hello ..
    When you talk about size, you refer to segments of general ledger accounts? ..
    If so, the logic of the budgets will allow this because this is precisely geared to the general ledger accounts.
    Otherwise, it is not possible to my knowledge, filter under a different concept.
    Best regards,

  • Cost centre hierarchy

    What s the purpose of dealing with cost centre hierarchy?(Financial->Cost accounting-> cost centre hierarchy)
    Where does this actualy fits into?  
    Regards,
    vasanthi.

    Hello vasanthi,
    Please look for the information on Cost Center via B1 online help.
    1. Financials->Cost Accounting->Define Cost Center Hierarchy, here
    you can define a new template as you need, add department as
    Slibling and add various expenses/revenues as the Child to relevant
    department.
    2. Financials->Cost Accounting->Profit Center - Report-> Select the
    Dimension used in the template from the drop down list then tick the
    radio button before 'Template' and select the template you have defined,
    then click 'OK'.
    Link between cost center hierarchy and chart of accounts:
    First of all, you define the various cost centers or departments in your
    company as profit centers.
    Then assign revenue and expense accounts to the profit centers so that
    any data relevant to a profit center can
    be updated automatically for all transactions entered in the system.
    (This is where we have a link between chart of accounts and cost center
    hierarchy).
    Costs are allocated to the profit centers using information that you
    define in a distribution rule. This means that any costs incurred willbe
    allocated to the profit centers on the basis of a specific key.
    If you decide that the way in which costs are allocated no longer
    reflects the way in which your company works, you simply change the
    distribution rule as required.

  • Extract expense for a designated cost center group

    Hi,
    There is a problem that we want get expense for a designated cost center group instead of cost center and store in the cube. We can get the cost center group but it is a node in a hierachy. I don't know how to map cost center to it's group.

    Do you mean that you want to read the cost centre group hierarchy for a cost centre?  So that instead of entering a cost centre group and reading down the hierarachy until you get to the cost centre codes at the bottom, you want to enter a cost centre and then read up the hierarchy until you get to the cost centre group at the top of the hierarchy.  If so, I don't think there is a function module to do what you want.  The cost centre group hierarchy data is held in table SETNOTE, so you could have a look at that.

  • Removing Controlling Area from Profit/Cost Centre

    Hi,
    When I run a report the cost centres, cost elements and profit centres are displaying with the controlling area at the start of the field eg  DTC/P123456, DTC/C78910, I have tried restricting on the controlling area but that does not seem to change the display.
    I cant reall edit the transformation either as they are attributes, any idea?
    Thanks

    Thanks
    But i dont want to do this through the transformation.
    Also when I do display data on the cube the the profit centre shows correctly P123456 and also the cost elements, the controlling area ccomes through on a different field?
    So it is at the query designer level that something is happening.

  • Track Subinventory with cost centres

    Hi Experts,
    In my company, there are around 20 Cost centres which transacts between each other. We follow FIFO accounting. There are many locations of these cost centres, hence items needs to be shipped for internal requisitions.
    Now I am designing the Inventory Org Structure, where I should be able to track all cost centre wise transactions (accounting entries). Can I :
    1- create each cost centre as Inventory Org?
    2- create physical location wise Inv Org and under which all cost centre as subinventory? if yes, then how can i track accounting for each cost centres, for any subinventory transfers, move orders etc or inter org transfers?
    3- please can you suggest any possible structure?
    CAN WE CHANGE THE COST GROUP WHICH IS DEFAULTED FROM ORG PARAMETER TO BE DIFFERENT FOR EVERY SUBINVENTORY?
    Thanks a lot.
    Need the reply ASAP....
    Supriya
    Edited by: 914168 on Mar 6, 2012 9:03 AM

    I would go for cost center wise Inventory Org for better tracking of accounting transactions, as each inventory org will be mapped to different account codes.
    Thanks,
    PS.

  • Resrticting Goods receipt based on cost centre in EBP Version 2.0

    Hi,
    I am working with EBP2.0 version & I need to know whether I can restrict the GR with ref. to cost centre in EBP. (ie. Receive any order functionality. We have not defaulted any cost centre & the user will enter the cost centre & GL a/c at the time of creation of shopping cart only.
    Is it possible to restrict the Goods Receipt with ref. to cost centre in EBP2.0 version. If so then please let me know how to go about it.
    Your immediate response is very much appreciated.
    Regards
    Raghu

    Hi  S.R.P.         
        There is no control  between GI and GR, you have to make a control using UDF
    for example
    1.Add UDF in GR called GI Number
    2.and make this field mandatory using SP
    3.Ask the user to enter GI number
    4.If user enter GI number in GR then choose the item code in GR means,using FMS you can also do automatically load a Warehouse,price,Account code what ever in GI.
    5.using sql query report u will get control

  • Automatic settlement to particular combination of cost centres and gl codes

    HI,
    A company uses Plant Maintenance for Engineering overhauls. MM is used for Engineering spares only (i.e. not for goods for resale etc).
    The requirement is to set up ongoing Plant Maintenance Orders, one for each item of plant (only 600). The plan is just to leave them open, as they are only used at a simple level.
    Anyway, for each PM order, the requirement will be to settle automatically, and to a particular GL code and a particular cost centre.
    So, for three different works orders:-
    Cost Centre -
    >   333     334     335
    GL code
    1234----
    >(X)
    1235----
    >(Y)
    1236----
    >(Z)
    1) What is the best way to achieve this? I am thinking that GL code will be specified by order type (therefore I will need about 10, corresponding to the GL codes) and cost centre will be specified by Work Centre in each order.
    2) How do I set up automatic settlement? Can this be at period end only or instantly when good are booked to the order by the stores.

    Hi ,
    For Plant Maintenance with FICO , you need Settlement rule & settlement profile.　
    The settlement rule determines what portions of a sender's costs are to be settled to which receiver(s).
    In thesettlement profile you determine to which objects orders of this order type can settle to. You can also assign an order type to a settlement profile at a later date. You can change the settlement profile in the order.
    After you create the settlement profile , you need to save the profile to particular order type.
    Inside the settlement profile , you will define the control parameter of how is the way to settle included which cost center to post.
    For automatic settlement , i think you need user exist - Please refer to userexit IWO10027 or COOM0003 with your abaper.
    Thank you.

  • BI FI and Cost Centre Reconciliation

    Hi
    I have a requriement to create a GL reconciliation report between Finance and Cost centre data, i have a multi sitting over the relevant cubes and the data is coming through.
    The report is as follows
                     |_FI Total__|___Cost Centre Total__|__Difference_(should = 0)
    GL Account |                  |                                  |                   
    For the cost centre data the report should bring through the data where the cost element = GL account in the row,
    ie GL Account - 60000
    FI Total - GL Account - 60000
    CC Total - Cost Element - 60000
    Difference - FI - CC
    Any ideas on how i can do this or if this is possible?
    Thanks
    Josh

    Hi Harshal
    Yes i was able to create this report, i had to create an infoobject ZFI_GLCE with 0GL_ACCOUNT as a ref. characteristic.
    Then i created a cube and had transformation going from YCOOM_C02 (CO-OM: Costs and Allocations (Delta Extraction)) to the cube where i mapped the Cost Element to ZFI_GLCE and then also had another transformation from YFIGLO02 (General Ledger: Line Items) to the cube mapping the GL Account to ZFI_GLCE.
    Could you further explain the problem you are having with the GL Accounts?

  • Limit SC showing Zero value in report SC per cost centre in SRM portal

    Hi SRM Gurus,
    On executing SC per cost centre report avaialble in SRM 5.0 Portal I am getting value of limit SC as zero. while in all other follow on documents i.e. PO and Invoice its displaying the value.
    Is it due to the fact the for Limit Items we don't have any GR/confirmation i.e zero quantity? and the value column field has Sigma symbol on it. so maybe it is multiplying quantity with the value here?
    Is this SAP SRM standard for limit items to show zero value in this report ?
    Please let me know. Thanks for the help.
    Regards,
    Varun Dhawan.

    SRM experts please help in this regard. Any insights on LIMIT Shopping carts??

  • How to assign search help for custom cost centre field in SRM 7.0

    Hi Experts!!
    We are currently working in SRM 7.0.As per our business requirement, in account assignment tab we need to use a custom
    cost centre field (ZCOST_CENTRE) instead of standard cost centre field.It is observed that for standard cost centre field there is a standard web-dynpro search-help assigned where it will return the F4 search help values from backend.
    Can any one of you please help me how can I assign the search-help for the custom cost centre field. Is there any FM to call the backend cost centre search help for custom field or any other way how can I achieve this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Kalyani

    kalyani,
    i can see your requirement in below way..
    as it just reads: you need to assign the standard cost center help to a z cost center field in component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC.. which actually is fetched though the component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH
    so, if you see the component controller of SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC you will see the component
    USAGE_SH_F4     /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH                        
    USAGE_SH_F4     /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH     INTERFACECONTROLLER
    so you can replicate the same functionality for your z field.
    but can you clarify one thing.. why are you going for this z field in place of standard field ?

  • Po with account assignment cost centre

    dear friends,
    When creating PO with account assignment cost centre, system should default GL account (i.e G/L will be picked automatically instead of entering manually.
    How this can be customized?
    regards, thanks

    The following configs are required.
    1. SPRO -> MM -> Purchase -> Material Master -> Entry aids -> here you maintain all relevant material groups, corresponding valuation class and Purchasing valuation key
    2. Then in OKB9, you will maintain company code, cost element, and cost center
    3. THen in OBYC, Valuation group code, valuation class and GL account.
    With the above settings, the system will automatically detemine the GL account.
    Thanks and warm regards,

  • Field cost centre is a required field for GL account Error

    The error that I get during a sales transaction is: Field cost centre is a required field for GL account Error. Where or which transaction in FI do I use to maintain this setting.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Goto Tcode - OKB9. Search for that G/L account number under your co. code. There select the row, you can maintain the cost center directly. Else for Account assignment detail column, keep it as 1(Valuation area mandatory). Then under new entries maintain the valuation area, which is nothing but the plant, and against that maintain the cost center.
    Hope this resolves your query.
    Please let me know if you need any additional information.
    Thanks,
