Forecast on cost center

Hi all,
Is it possible for us to do the forecast on cost center using plan value as the basis?
I have searched some forums and the SAP t-codes, but can't seem to find it.
Please kindly suggest
Thank you very much in advance
BR, Erwin

Hi Ajay,
Well, this is the requirement from the client.
They want to keep the planned value for 1 fiscal year, and they will review the plan value quarterly and will create a one month ahead forecast using the actual value from cost center.
So, i am thinking, to save those two different value in two version:
- plan value : version 0
- "forecast" value : version 1 (example)
the problem is, i still havent been able to do the forecast automatically (eg: Jan - Feb - Mar actual value to be averaged into the Apr "forecast")
What do you think?
Thank you
Br, Erwin

Forecast for planning over the Cost element/Cost center with KP06

Hi all
I'm searching a idea: one of our chief controller need to insert a "forecast" of budget inserted over the various cost elements/cost centers using the transaction KP06. THe problem is that he don't want lost the budget because he can need the reload the previous budget data during the year if the actual situation change. Obvisiously the insertion of the forecast overwrite the budget data over the version 0. This forces us to download over a file the budget and archive it, and reload it eventually. But this solution, a part the programming effort, don't permit to have both the data at the same time in the system. Exist a pratical customizing solution in CO for manage a "forecast"? Our release is 46c.
thanks
Davide

Thanks Pascal.
Some questions (i dont' have a CO background ):
>execute charge transferts and plan distribution in the new >version
Can you explicate me these concepts (or the transaction used for make this, probably I know this but in italian the name is different)? The KP47 copy the value over the single cost element or only the total of cost center?
>KP98 is the transaction to copy postings from version 0 to >another version. In this case version 0 is the template.
Are you sure? The KP98 have the description "Copy by actual version to planned version", the KP97 "copy from planned to planned"
thanks in advance

Report for Forecast data by Cost Center

is there an existing report where I can enter forecast data by cost center?? Or an existing GR55 report that could do the same?
Thank you in advance

You are working on OLTP system which has certain limitations.
What forecast data you would like to enter.
Brief your requirement with example, you would get better replies.
You can upload plan data through excel, that has been addressed already number of times.

How to run GR55 reports in background for cost center hierarchies

1. I have been asked by our users to create batch jobs to run in the background for some GR55 reports, that can then be sent directly to cost center managers via email.
I have figured out the process to do this as long as the cost center manager only needs to see a single cost center at a time. However, if they are in charge of multiple cost centers, we also want to send them a summarized report using the hierarchy we have set up. I can't seem to make this work, as the job only seem to recognize the last cost center in the group and the report is for that cost center.
Example. cost centers 100, 200 and 300 belong to hierarchy abc. If I run the job just for cost center 100 it is fine. But if I have a variant to run hierarchy abc, or even if I use the range 100 to 300, all I get is a report for cost center 300.
We cannot use BW because we only have revenue in BW. I am being asked to make this work from standard R/3 within the GR55 realm of reporting.
2. In addition, the report selection criteria includes two separate plan/forecast versions. They need to update these each month prior to running the reports and sending them out. I looked at the variables associated with the versions and tried to set them up with default values that I hoped would update automatically so that they don't have to manually change 50 or so variants each month. But I don't see any dynamic variables that I can use to have the system make that change without going into each variant individually.
3. There is another piece to this equation as well. There is another report they want sent out in batch, but it is several pages wide in SAP and several pages long. So when you run it in batch and either spool it or get it sent as an email, it is very ugly in the formatting due to all the page splits horizontally and vertically. If anyone knows how to get the report to stay together like it would if you had excel integration turned on, it would be very helpful. I have tried running it with that integration turned on, but the jobs are set up with user batch_mgr and not my id, so it isn't working well. The batch_mgr id is just a system id, not a dialog id. We also don't want the jobs set up with a regular user id because if people leave, then the jobs all need to be changed.

Kim,
I may have options for issues 1 and 2. In case of 3, what I can tell you is I understand the concern, but this is what typically happens in some standard CO reports that are not ALV compatible, I don't think there is not much there to do unless you add some custom code for the output.
In regards to point 1, yes, I have noticed that this happens in some standard and custom reporting, not sure what is going on. I came up with a work around that made the trick for my client in a similar scenario; which is editing the cost center groups. For instance, instead of having the group set as a range from 100 to 300, the groups are have listed the cost centers, 100, 200 and 300. Obviously, the disadvantage of this option is that it would require a bit of more cost center group maintenance.
In regards to point 2, I understand from your note that your users already have set up selection variants for the report. One option for you is to get the help from a developer to create a custom period variable and tiny program that runs in batch every month that would update that variable accordingly. Once that's done, you may have to update at least once, the selection variant attributes to change the period to a selection variable, so everytime from that point of time forward that the variable gets updated, it will be ready with the right value for every selection variant that uses it.
Hope this helps.

Unlock Cost center in BPS application

Hello Friends,
I have one requirement to unllock two cost center hierarchy nodes in BPS application. Please see below details:
1)Remove the existing CSC Data Slice (lock) using transaction BPS0 in PB1
2)Create new Data Slices for every sub-node under the CSC node of the Cost Center hierarchy except for the divisions below
3)Ensure Budget data (B01) has been copied to the required forecast version for the CSC cost centers in question.
Can anyone help me out with steps?
Thanks,
Sri.

Hello Sri,
I suggest to use an exit variable in the data slice. This lets you adjust the slice dynamically.

BW Analysis authorization issue on cost center range

Hello BIW security experts
I have a problem where I created an analysis authorization on a cost center range and it looks like the interval is not working. The report is just a list of cost centers (demo to users to prove that analysis authorizations work in order to skip 2 managerial cost centers.
. Cost centers are numeric. Example: 2000100. In the drop down list they appear as such.
. I want to have the following cost center range: 1000000 to 1000771, 1000773 to 2000771, 2000773 to 9999999.
Thereofore 1000772 and 2000772 should not appear in the list.
. In the analysis authorization I have put the 3 ranges above on 3 separate lines. 'BT' is the operator. The cost centers have been selected from the drop down list.
Results: I get only 1 record from the report.... 2000772. (which is one I want to exclude..
Steps tried to debug:
. When I put a list of cost centers in the analysis authorization on separate line with the 'EQ' operator, then the report works.
. I tried putting ' ' delimiters since cost center is a char field but it fails.
. I tried adding leading and trailing zeros to fill up the char(10) but no luck.
. I tried creating a hierarchy with the interval and put it in the hierachy auth. tab and it does not work either. It gives the same number of records than the first step.
. A hierarchy with single values work.
I do not know what else to try..
Thanks.
YB.

HR PNP Logical Database Using Cost Center selection: error!?

Hi all,
I'm using PNP logical data base and using the selection-fields available through HR Class Reports (a copy of PAY_DEF) but what happens is if in selection-screen I fill the personnel number say 1000, i get the payroll data I'm trying to get, but if i use the search field cost center of that exact person i get nothing. Does anyone has a clue on what i might be doing wrong? Because all the other search fields work, company code, HR area, everyone, but cost center, and I'm positive that i use the right cost center.
Thanks in advance,
Paula

Even though nobody answered me, i finally found the solution for my problem. so and because someone might need it here it is:
Go to Spro->Personnel Management->Human Resources Information System->Reporting->Adjusting the Standard Selection Screen and then:
1st Create Report Categories and
2nd Assign Report Categories
Since not all rep. categories on the 1st assignment is explicit on how will sel screen appear i advice you to go to the 2nd point, and execute some of the programs that appear there, and that might look alike to what you are looking for, and if you are so lucky as to find one exact use the same report category in your program, if its very alike, well, copy the Report Category into one of your own and change it the way you need it to be.
Hope this be helpfull for someone.
Paula.

BI-IP Authorizations: Accessing own Cost Center only

Hi,
We are currently implementing BI-IP in our company. We have created the ready-input templates and we are prepared for roll-out.
There is still one concern though which I haven't resolved. I am currently looking for an AUTHORIZATION that will let users access their respective COST CENTERS only. For example, if I am part of the Marketing Group, then I will only be able to access the budget of my respective cost center.
Can anyone lead me to the right AUTHORIZATION OBJECT in BI-IP to implement this restriction.
Your reply is much appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,
Ramon

Hi Ramon,
authorizations for transaction data in BI (and therefore in BI-IP) are not based on authorization objects. You have to make the cost center InfoObject authorization relevant and then create so called Analysis Authorizations for it. Please see the online help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/66/019441b8972e7be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
BTW, you can upload the cost center authorizations from SAP R/3 or ERP.

Add Option of choosing values from list in "Person Responsible" field of Cost Center Master

Dear All,
Could anyone advise me how can I add the option to Choose Values from list to field "Person Responsible",
in Cost Center Master Data ?
The Technical Name of this field is VERAK, and currently it is an open field.
I would like to allow the user to choose values from existing list.
Thank you!
Orly

Hi Orly,
You have take it to your ABAPer, who will have to modify the attributes of CSKSZ-VERAK field in CSKSZ structure. ABAPer will have to define it with foreign key and introduce the name of the table, which will be used for deriving the available values. No standard table exists for it, but you can either create your own Z-table or take it from users table (USR02) if you have the necessary information there. Of course, this action would account for modification of standard SAP structure.

Eli

Is there is a way to have a link from purchase order to cost center report.

Is there is a way to have a link from purchase order to cost center report.
I am meaning kind of:
Standard way to customized this link?
or
User exit to have this link in place
or
Any other solution
Thanks

For me it does not make any sense from going from PO to cost center report.
However, if you want to see the purchase order cost incurred with a cost center, execute KSB1 report. Within the layout, bring "Purchasing Document" field, where you can see the purchase order number in cost center line item report.
