Down Payments: Default Cost Elements (OKEP Configuration)

Hi,
In the OKEP screen, if we assign a cost element for default vendor down payment, in what possibilities and scenarios will the system pickup this cost element. Kindly clarify on this matter.

Hi
It is just needed for commitment update in Project system... It is just a formality/ritual to assign this.... you need nt worry on this front

Then i get a message saying:
Maintain default revenue element in controlling area 5000
Message no. FI661
Diagnosis
CO down payment update is active in controlling area 5000. You must therefore maintain a default cost element and a default revenue element for down payments.

The maintenance is done in TC: OKEP (project system)

Default cost element unexpected OKEP

Hi Experts,
I ask for your help in the following situation.
In transaction KO88, trying to settle an order, the "Message no. KD503 - Complete allocation structure Z1" arises.
"Diagnosis :
During settlement, the system puts the sender debits into groups (assignments), which are settled using the same settlement cost element. The settlement assignment is made in the allocation structure, which is stored in the settlement rule for the sender (under settlement parameters). Cost element 5111900300 cannot be assigned to a settlement cost assignment in allocation structure Z1, and therefore it cannot be assigned to a settlement cost element."
This cost element "5111900300" is the default class for the controlling area (transaction OKEP).
The strange behaviur is that in past months the settle for this order never get to the Cost element indicated; to test the settle, the cost element was added to the allocation structure Z1, and it was found out that the FI docs refering to Down Payments are the ones that take this cost element into the settle, and it is strange because in past months the down payments in the same PO takes the correct cost class.
It is strange too that the corresponding FI doc for the Down Payment producing the error has not asociation with the Purchasing Document; that could be the reason it is not taking the cost class from the PO.
I know is a little complex, but I can not found out a note for this and support refers to this as a consulting issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi..
System response is correct because in OKEP default cost element is posted without ref of PO.
If you want to post in ref of PO don't assign any cost element in OKEP.

Default Cost element pick up despite there is no setting in config.defined

Hi,
During external services(control key PM03), system picks up default cost element in maintenance order. Irony is that I have set no default cost element in "External procurement service in Config". I have also checked there is no default user data, despite this default cost element system picks up.
Please suggest me what to do.
Thanks & Regards
D.Singh

Once you enter the control key PM03, you will get pop up for maintaining material group. If you have defined the material group in config, cost element will be picked up from that.
Cost element will be picked up from the Material group which you mentioned in Order or in config.

Please explain the detailed process flow if possilble.
Thanks & Regards

Hi
It will not affect all company codes . Revenue will be generated for a particular company code for which you have created a project.

Down payment configuration: OKEP Setting

Hi gurus,
I am doing the down payment configuration for my client and testing the same.
When i tried F-47 with a Purchase order which inturn was created on a work order, i got the error 'FI 660:Maintain default cost element in controlling area 9999'
To solve this issue, i maintained entry in OKEP with controlling area and cost element, which served the purpose.
Now my question is, what is the impact of this entry. I.e, how will the cost element be affected when a down payment request is made or the down payment is cleared.
Is there any specification on the type of coste element to be used for this purpose ?
Appreciate your help gurus,
Thanks

Hi
The SAP System updates the values for the account assignment objects order, WBS element, and network. Down payments assigned to other objects must also be assigned to a cost element, for technical reasons
Note
The system updates only actual down payments for settlement to assets under construction. It is not possible to trace all down payment postings from Financial Accounting to Controlling.
Requirements
You have completely created a controlling area.
You have created cost elements.
Activities
For each controlling area, enter a default cost element for credit down payments to meet your requirements, and a default revenue element for debit down payments.
The update is not dependent on whether Cash Budget Management is activated.

Default GL account (cost element) for external service contracts

Hi everybody,
question about GL being defaulted from contract for external services
The requirement is to have GL (cost element) being defined per service sub item defaulting to work order. Account assignment is unknown, because the costs might be settled later to cost center or AFE or else.
You could default cost element either through material group (which doesn't enable cost element to contract) or with account assignment category 'K' or 'F' which do not suit, cause the former requires cost center, that is unknown yet, whereas the latter requires assignment to order which doesn't make sense at all. Theoretically, it could be done with acc assignment cat 'U' , but cost element is not enabled with that category..
I was assuming that cost center which you are required to enter along with cost element while creating service sub item referring to some sort of internal accounting. The system also requires service sub item acc assignment category being aligned with requisition (which is 'F') and would in fact create PR referrencing actual work order number. But still, doesn't it make sense having contract referencing another order.. Also, we don't use default values for PM ext operation data.
So, the question is how to accomplish the requirement with Unknown assignment category? what is the point of defining cost center in the contract in given circumstances? Is there any work around exists?
Thanks in advance
Sergey

Hi,
Try this: IMG -> Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Maintenance and Service Processing -> Maintenance and Service Orders -> Functions and Settings for Order Types -> Create Default Value Profiles for External Procurement.
After that assign it to order type: Default Values for Task List Data and Profile Assignments.

Error message in down payment on asset purchase order

Hello,,
While i am trying to make down payment request with reference to PO have asset number it is return an error message
*Store a cost element for credit down payments
    Message no. KI165
Diagnosis
    You posted a payment to a CO-relevant object (cost center, order, and so
    on). The payment is therefore recorded in CO.
    If a payment has no order reference, no consumption account can be
    derived. Therefore, CO posts the payment under a default cost element
    created and stored during Customizing.
    You have not yet maintained this default in the system.
Procedure
    Maintain the default cost and revenue elements in the Implementation
    Guide under "Project System" for controlling area CA00.*
I don`t know what is the reason for using this cost element and which type of cost elements that i can use in this issue....
We are not use Down payment clearing account, because Our customer don`t need this account..
Please help me ASAP
Thanks for your cooperation
Hussein

Hello Hussein,
For error message KI165,please maintanin default cost element in OKEP.Down payments have to be posted in CO with cost   elements. In case of purchase orders (or open items in CO), the cost element for consumption can be derived from the purchase order. Thus the down payment in CO is posted with the consumption cost element.
If the down payment does not have any reference to a purchase order, then the cost element for which the consumption will be posted is not known. In this case, the cost element maintained with OKEP is used.
The error message KI165 will occur if no cost element is maintained with OKEP - not regarding whether the actual down payment has a reference to a purchase order and thus will update in CO under the consumption cost element derived from the purchase order. This is always a source of misunderstanding - but I hope it is clear now.
OKEP configuration is absolutely necessary if you do not have a cost element assigned at the time of downpayment request creation.
If after maintaining the default cost element you get some other error then please note that you would need to check the following :
1.Compare the configuration settings for the GL accounts that are used for posting the cash call in EHP4 system with the system without the EHP4 support pack.
2.Check the controlling area settings in both the systems.
