Distribution of cost

Hi,
Is it possible to distribute costs from one cost center to other cost centers---but specific cost element at receiver's end?
or will it go to all cost elements under the receiving cost centers?

Hi,
Distribution works on the same cost elements; both for sender and receiver. That is if the sender is X, then the receiver will be also X.

Distribution of Costs from CCA to CO-PA

Hi All,
Can someone please help me find a solution to the following scenario?
There is a requirement to distribute costs from CCA to Cust/Prod level in CO-PA.
*The cost allocations factors can only be provided at the Customer Group/Product level.
*Using regular assessment cycles in CO-PA it is possible to distribute these costs to Customer Group/Product level.
*However these costs are to be distributed further to the Customer/Product level in CO-PA based on the revenue value field.
Any suggestions on how this can be done? Can I use top down distribution?
Regards,
KK

Option 1:
Step 1 - create assessment to COPA (KEU1). Ensure that you enter customer group and product in the receiver characteristics (second tab)
Step 2- use top down distribution to distribute from customer group to customer.
Please refer to SAP help on top down distribution to see how top-down distribution works if you want to retain 'product' characteristics. They have given examples.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/7a/4c48c64a0111d1894c0000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Second option:
Step 1 - Carry out top down distribution of the cost allocation factors from customer group/product to customer/group.
Step 2 - Create assessment cycles at customer/product level.
Second option may be a better solution from data volume point of view beacsue top-down-distribution creates two records for sender and receiver in COPA. I am assuming that number of records for top down distribution of cost allocation factors will be less as compared to top down distribution of actual costs from multiple cost centers.
Hope it helps.

Distribution of cost over periods in detailed planning in CCA KP06

Good Day everyone
Please advice how to control distribution of cost over periods in Detailed planning in Cost center accounting. KP06.
When detailed planning is carried out which is integrated with MM, distribution of cost over periods is automatically set (02 distribution as before) and i cannot manually set the distribution key to 0 or 1
We are using ECC6
How can i control manual distribution of plan cost while remaining in Detailed planning.

Hi,
You can distribute your planned costs at activity level based on the distributionkey you specified. The distribution is done for the entire duration of activity depending on the Dist key you select. If you do not put any Dist key, then the costs would be distributed equally across the entire duration of activity. If you want to have equal distribution of costs, you can use DK- SAP020 which distributes on earliest dates of activity using Factory calender. If you want you can also define your own DK in SPRO under: Production->capacity requirements planning->operations->capacity requirements->distribution.
Hope this clarifies..
Best regards..

Well, there are other ways of doing this, than trying to assess using CCtr Assessment Cycles.
You could use a Costing Sheet to collect the costs and apportion to the material. This us the idea behind Overhead Cost Allocation.
Alternatively, you could use an Activity Based Costing template for the apportionment. Create a Business Process and have your Cost Centre assess costs to the Business Process by the end of the month. Now run template allocation and, all the config being okay (this is the catch), you will see this costs on the Production Order / Product Cost Collector / Material, etc.
All of these require some config, but definitely you cannot assess from a CCtr to a Production Order. You are better off defining a Costing Sheet for this one.

The performance of Distribution of Cost Object Hierarchy Costs.

Dear SAP Gurus.
I am checking the function and the performance about Cost Object Hierarchies distribution with Control Through Variance Key.
The number of production orders assigned to COH is about 100,000 per month.
All orders will be closed at current month and new 100,000 production order will be assigned to COH at next month.
My concern is about performance of Distribution of Cost Object Hierarchy Costs
because a huge number of orders will be accumulatedly assigned to the Cost Object Hierarchies.
I think that the COH will be distributed with not bad performance.
(Actually I want that to be OK.)
What's your opinion about that?
Sincerely.
Mahnkwi.

Hi Mahnkwi,
Sender-/receiver-relations should definitely be below 1:1000 or even below 1:500. This depends on other factors like general size of the hierarchy and data to be processed as well. This hierarchy needs to be restructured. In case you do this the
distribution needs to be reversed first.
Below are some other hints on performance in KKPX
- Parallel processing should be used.(note [386508|https://css.wdf.sap.corp/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=0000386508])
- Switch off detail lists since the consume lots of memory.
- Old orders should be archived.
Note [77718|https://css.wdf.sap.corp/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=0000077718] also explains tips to avoid the memory error for transaction KKPX or KKPY. As note explains, you should consider
whether a distribution of the cost elements according to their origin is required; if not, the corresponding indicator should not be set in the costing view of the materials.
If many error message is issued in the error log, this may have bad effect on the memory of your server. In this case, you should make these error message "not to be displayed" by message control in IMG.

Declan

Actual cost distribution in cost object hierarchies

Hi all,
I cannot distribute the actual costs collected on a cost object hierarchy since the costs are retrieved from an assessment cycle with a cost element with category 42 (assessment).
I would like to assign my production cost centers balances to cost object hierarchy and then distribute it with transaction KKPX - Distribution of cost object hierarchy costs.
Would someone have any idea how I could proceed?
Thanks in advance.

Hi experts,
Sometimes, we create a purchase order and we distribute quantities on several cost centers.

Thanks for your help !

Distribution Cycle: Cost Centre is a mandatory field for GL Acct

hello,
When I am executing the distribution cycle in FAGLGA35 in update mode I am getting the error (Message no. F5808) "Field Cost Ctr is a required field for G/L account xxxxxx" as detailed below:
Field Cost Ctr is a required field for G/L account 2050 599030
Message no. F5808
Diagnosis
The value for field "Cost Ctr" in the interface to Financial Accounting is an initial value but you are required to make an entry in the field selection for G/L account "599030" in company code "2050" linked to the field selection for posting key "40".
System Response
Error
Procedure
It might be an error in the configuration of the G/L account field selection. The initial application, used to call up the interface must otherwise define a value for field "Cost Ctr". If this is the case, contact the consultant responsible for the application used to call up the interface or get in contact with SAP directly.
As per the Field Status Group assigned to the master data of this GL Account, cost centre is an required entry. Further I am not able to change the Field status Group of this GL since this GL acct contains some balance.
Could someone please help me on how to overcome this issue.
Regards,
Lavanya

Hello Ravi,
Thanks for your response.
I have tried the option you have provided but user donot want to use the OKB9 option and neither she wants to change the field status group of the GL Acct by which Cost Centre can made an optional field.
Can you please tell me if we can integrate a cost center in the distribution cycle so that the allocation can be done also for accounts for which a cost center is mandatory ? We can define a cost centre that will be used only for this allocation and that will be the same for all the accounts.
Request your inputs on this.

Lavanya

Exps distribution to cost centres on % basis

There a Exps G L A/c . I want to distribute the cost between cost centres
on % basis
narayana

Hi
As advised by others below is a detailed process to create a distribution cycle with %.
Go to KSV1 and create a Distribution Cycle, You need to select the Attach Segment tab and specify Fixed Percentages in the second section of Segment Hdr Tab.
Once you do that you will have to specify Cost Center and Cost Element Details in Sender/Reciever Tab and subsequently mainatin % in Receiving Tracing Factor Tab Page.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Distribution of Cost in Months

Dear colleagues,
I would like to hear your opinions about this case.
Suppose that you receive a year-long consultation from a vendor at a cost of 12.000 EUR starting from 01.01.2011 till 31.12.2011. PO is raised against this transaction at a total cost of 12.000 EUR. Fee is paid to the vendor in advance with 12.000 EUR with reference to PO number in MIRO. But we want to spread the expense of this consultation in months; e.g. 1.000 EUR in January, 1.000 EUR in Februaryu2026.. 1.000 EUR in December.
Although I am not sure if this forum is the right place but how can we manage this situation at SAP?
Melih

Hi,
Service PO will satisfy your requirement.
Create service PO with qty and uni 1 AU respectively.Account assi. category as K , and item category as D.
Even you can enter validity period for this PO of 1 year.
then do the Service entry sheet every month of 1 Euro.
Then you can book Miro aganist each service entry also.

Report distribution by cost centre

We would like to know if there are any threads or links that explain how to circulate a cost centre report that only contains values according to the recipients home cost centre.
That is, person A receives his / her respective cost centre data; person B receives the same report, but with only their cost centre data etc... automated circulation according to a common schedule.
We need this solution to email the reports (probably in PDF format) to each user automatically, according to a pre-determined schedule.
Any assistance will be appreciated.

Re-distribution of cost

Hi gurus,
My client wants to capture costs of software maintenance by the computer number(system no.) which is in turn assigned to one particular cost center.
Monthly transactions posted to GL a/c i.e computer maintenance.
Wants to set up as a month end activity.
Any suggestions as to what is the best way to do it
Surya

hi sunoj,
He wants to allocate certain percentage to each system.
Like if the total expense is S$10K then system1-2K,system 2-3K and so forth.
At the point of entry they will enter a general system and later as a month end activity it should repost to the respective system nos.
They want to be able to extract such expenses by system no.
