Effect of Cost Center Distribution in COPA

Hi,
We are running the cost center distribution to transfer the cost from one cost center to another cost center.It is creating the controlling document but in COPA reports the cost is not getting transfered from one cost center to another. How can we transfer the cost from one cost center to another with the subsequent effect in COPA.
Thanks
Ariel

Hi Ariel,
when you refer to the cost center in COPA, are you talking about the field "sender cost center"?
That field shows the costs center that the costs came from when they were transferred from cost center to COPA through an assessment cycle (KEU5). When you transfer costs from one cost center to another AFTER running the assessment cycles in KEU5, then that transfer cannot have any effect on COPA. You would have to first transfer from one cost center to the other and THEN run the COPA assessment in KEU5.
I hope I have understood your question correctly

Cost Center Assessment to COPA

Hi,
I have done Cost Center assessment to characteristics "Company Code" and "Product". System has even generated COPA documnet for costing based profitability analysis.
However, in report developed through Report Painter(KE32), the value field for which the assessment got posted is not getting displayed.
Can any one guide in this regard.
Thanks in advance
Sudhakar

Hi Sudhakar,
When you do the cost center assessment in COPA, you have given 2 characteristicsi.e product , company code and thru one value field.
When designing report in ke32 (report) and form ke35(form), we will give certain characteristics, so check what are the parameters has been given in the report, bcz values flown thru copa assessment will be available only in compaby code and product not for any other characteristics. I guess you have characteristics in report other than these two.
I hope this clarifies.

Functional Area derivation as obligatory checkbox in Cost Center distribution cycle?

Dear All,
We are using Cost of Sales accounting with FI-CO online integration. Derivation of Functional Area for Cost Center assessment cycles is an obligatory indicator. Nevertheless I may create Cos Center distribution cycles without this option (what affects FI-CO online integration). Can anybody explain a system logic behind it?
Can I set Functional Area derivation as an obligatory checkbox for Cost Center distribution cycles too?
Bartlomiej Seidel

Hi,
I have searched for any useful note, but without result so far. The point is that any new distribution or assessment cycle (cost centers) in our company must work with Functional Area derivation (than FI-CO online integration works correctly). With our current SAP setup I must select this indicator for every assessment cycle - it is obligatory. But is not obligatory for distribution cycles - and I don't know why?
I would like to protect everybody from crating distribution cycles without FA derivation indicator (like it works now for assessment cycles). How may I do it?

Transfer between cost center and to copa

Dear Forum,
I have 3 points to clarify.
1) Assessment or distribution, sender cost center is credited and receiver cost center will be debited. cost in sender will reduce and receiver will increase. correct?
2) For keu3 where cost center to copa, will cost in cost center reduce when transfer to cops?
3) For keu3, how is the double entry like with the use of assessment cost element when transfer to copa?
Thanks

HI,
when defining an aassessment cycle within T-Code KEU5 the sender is cost center / cost element (or a group of them), the receiver is always a combination of CO-PA characteristics that you define within the segment definition.
This characteristics combination + some technical infos are stored with the key PAOBJNR (profitabilty analysis object number).
SO the cost center is credited and the CO-PA receiver (a PAOBJNR) is debited during assessment execution.
Best regards, Christian

Cost center distribution

Hi,
Kindly Advice how to distribute expenses from one cost center to different cost centers
My client was asking for only reporting purpose but amount should not allocate from one cost center to different cost centers
For Ex : 20 G/L accounts are created as a cost element while doing the transaction with this G/L accounts they will assign one cost center
Month end they want to distribute ratio wise to different cost centers but amount should not post to different cost centers
and every month percentages will be change based on that client should get the report
Is there any standard report?
Regards
Srinivas

HI Mgitur
Thanks for speedy reply
Actually my client was asking for reporting purpose only
For ex : 2 cost elements are there (G/L accounts)
2100000 (G/L)
2200000 (G/L)
In this G/L accounts transaction are done with 100000 (210000 G/L) rs and 150000 (220000 G/L)
While posting the transactions to this G/L accounts the cost center "A" was assigned
Now these amount he want to distribute percentage wise to different cost centers like B,C,D
But this amount should not allocate to different cost centers that amount should be in the same G/L account and same cost center
i have tried distribution cycle in KSV1 t code and run in the KSV5
But in that we will mention some percentages based on that i am getting report properly in the test run mode
Unfortunately if client remove test run button that amount will be posted to different cost centers so it's not correct way and morever every month percentages also will be change based on that client should be change percentages and have to get report based on new percentages
In the KSV1 client cannot change percentages because of configuration issue so he cannot change in the KSV1
Please give me the suggestion for this

Srinivas

Cost Center Distribution in Plan

Hi All,
I am looking for a solution how I can do a (plan) allocation for cost centers? In the standard I can only create distribution rules and run a overhead distribution for the actual data.
Kind regards,
Wolfgang

Hi Andreas,
we have several distribution rules. E.G.
distribute cost center 1 to cc2 (20%), cc3 (40%), cc4 (40%) and
distribute cost center 5 to cc2 (30%), cc6 (50%), cc7 (20%) ….
We want to use this rules for our cost center planning. This reason ist that we only plan our primary cost. The secondary cost should than be planned by using the distribution rules. This means that after planing our cost center we want to distribute the values of some cc to other cc. Because only if we are doing this we can than use our cc-planing for comparison of plan and actual data.
As far as I know is the use of the distibution rules not possible in the planning.
Best regards,
Wolfgang

Consumption of FG to Cost Center flow to COPA

Hi,
We have ML in system.
Users are consuming some FG to Cost Center through MB11 and lets say 711 movement type. So this generates ML documents.
Now question is how can I can see this data in COPA?
When we do Periodic Revaluation in COPA through KE27, only those values that has been sold are only revaluated with PUP price. So that we can see that in Actual COGS value field.
But what about those consumption that occurred in cost center?? How will I reconcile those figure in COPA?
To give more information:
We are running CKMLCP. We do Revaluation of Consumption step.
But in post closing step we are not selecting Revaluation of Consumption check box.
I am finding it very hard to reconcile COPA value and FI doc.
Kindly help.
regards
Kami

Hi Ajay,
Thanks for valuable input.
I also thought in the same line , but user has the following concern on this:
Assessment Cycle: As per Users, it cannot be used because this will allocate based on allocation basis. But they need, the values that was posted at the time of transaction and as per materials. So it wont be accurate through Assessment cycle,
OKB9: They have different Cost center for different valuation area for the same GL Account.
Hence through OKB9 also, we cannot post directly to COPA.
That's the reason the above option were not adopted.
My other concern to this is:
In CKM3, we have two lines under consumption, one for Normal sales PGI and other is Cost Center.
After doing revaluation of consumption in CKMLCP, we see one line under Cost Center :Revaluation of Consumption Figure"
My question, where can I see that figure whether in any table or in Cost Center report??
If that is also available we can try to match those values and post to COPA.
Let me know your thought on this.
Thanks and regards
Kami

Profit Center / Cost Center Distribution

Hello,
I'm trying to send Profit Centers / Cost Centers via IDoc. I can create the master records with PRCMAS01 / COSMAS01, but I'm not sure how to do the assignment to a company code via IDoc. Can anyone shed some light?
Thanks,
Harrison

Update:
The cost center IDoc contains a field for company codes even though it's not mentioned in the IDoc documentation for COSMAS01. As cost centers are only assigned to one company code the field only supports one entry
Profit centers on the other hand do not support the assignment of company codes via IDoc. I believe this is because SAP by default assumes that you want to assign a profit center to all company codes, therefore it doesn't have a purpose for a structure to support this in the IDoc.

Account-based COPA and having Cost Center as Real Object in Sales Order

Hi,
We have recently activated account-based COPA and in our SO, we realized the Profitability Segment being populated- that is not a problem in normal scenarios.
However, in some cases, we would like to charge to a cost center instead of COPA. We have tried the 2 ways mentioned in the forum/on the web to include Cost Center in Sales Order:
1. Go to OVF3 t-code and configure a default cost center for the order reason
2. Change the SD Document Category under 'Define Sales Document Types' to 'I- Order w/o charge'.
However both ways only open the Cost center field but still populates the COPA. At accounting entries, cost center will become a statistical object and COPA, the real object- which is not what we want.
Is there a way to stop the auto-populating of Profitabiltiy Segment in SO when cost center is being entered?
Thanks very much in advance for any suggestions.
Regards,
Huimin

Solved by myself, with help of OSS Note: 44381 - Profitability Segment Not Required in SD Postings. Have a CO substitution rule to clear away the Profitability Segment number based on certain conditions. Thanks!

Concept of CO- PA cost center assessment

Hi Experts,
I would like to ask if you could supply me with more info about the concept of cost center cost assessment in COPA. Is this a standard procedure that must done? I am having my 1st SAP implem. and have been preparing too hard to get much info. as I can take about COPA. I have understanding about value fields an characteristics BUT I am having a hard time to understand cost center allo. and why do is there a need to do it (or maybe not). Aren't they supposed to be an automatic process (distribution of figures to COPA reports)? Thanks and I would understand if the question may sound a little unclear.

Hi,
The cost center assessment to copa comes in places only for allocating the common costs.
Generally, we do allocate the common costs from the common cost center to the respective user cost centers in the overhead accounting.
If the need is to recognise the common overheads directly in COPA, then instead of reallocating the costs with in cost center accounting, we directly transfer the costs to copa thru costcenter assessment to copa.

S_ALR_87013611 - Cost center: Actual/Plan/Variance selection report - outpu

Hello all,
when running the report,it can be seen in SAP screen by cost groups and by cost elements.
The problem is that when user tries to save report in local file, then it is not able to see cost center distribution. User can only see cost elements amounts.
is there a way we can save on a local file cost groups as well?
Thanks in advance for letting me know
regards
Hana

Hi,
Look for data source 0CO_OM_CCA_1 ( Cost Centers: Costs and Allocations ) ..it will give you the plan / actual /commitment amounts & qty.
Link is http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8d/1f383fe58d5900e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Hope that helps.

Reversing the Cost Center Allocations

We Executed Cost Center Distribution Cycles using KSVB and distributed the values to four different secondary Cost Centers, now we want to reverse these entries so that the secondary Cost Center displays the zero value. Can any one suggest me how to achieve this.
Thanks

Hi Amarnath
If you execute again, the old allocation gets automatically reversed
However, if you just want to reverse and not execute right now, then use Menu Distribution > Reverse

Cost center dirstribution - sales order as receiver

hi dear,can i have sales order and item as receiver of cost center distribution? currently i ONLY saw receiver is cost center or order or WBS
Edited by: renhua liu on Aug 23, 2011 5:19 PM

Hi NTH,
In the standard system, the field cost center is only ready for input
if the sales document category is VBAK-VBTYP= I (that is, order without
charge). For all other order types, you can make it visible by entering
an order reason provided that the combination of the sales area and the
order reason has a cost center assigned in OVF3. To change this standard
behaviour, USEREXIT_COBL_SEND_HEADER can be used. There you can find a
short example on how to make a field visible and modificable in the
account assignment screen.
Moreover, please take into account that the account assignment to a cost
center is possible only at header level. So it is not possible to
insert the cost center at item level, you can only insert it at header
level.
The cost center determination takes place in
FV45KF0V_VBAK-KOSTL_ERMITTELN and is reading from table TVAUK.
This table can be maintained in transaction OVF3.
If you wants to be able to enter the cost center manually in the
account assignment screen (header level), you can use the user exit
FV45PF0C_COBL_SEND_PBO_VBAK (SAPMV45A) - there you can find a short ex
ample on how to make a field visible and modifiable in the account
assignment
I hope that this information is of assistance to you. Thanks!

Alex

Distribute from multiple cost centers to single cost center

Hello,
I have a requirement follows this way:
multiple costs are posted to a few P&L accounts and a cost center. Now I want to distribute these total costs to multiple cost centers on a certain percentage basis. How to do this? I used Cost Center distribution. But the actual costs did not show up on the receiver side. Please tell me how to do this.
Thanks

Thanks for your replies. I tried to settle to G/L account through Allocation structure. The same G/L account is debited and credited. Why is this happening and what is the concept behind this?
Here is my scenario. We collect all the costs on a WBS element and then settle to a cross company code GL account. What is the best approach to achieve this? Please advise.
Thanks
