Functional areas vs. cost center groups for cost of goods sales

What are the benefits of using functional areas over cost center groups when building your p&l for cost absorbtion or visa versa? Which of the two is recommended?

Hi,
1: a P&L statement does not only contain cost-center related postings, you can have different CO-objects (Internal order, WBS-Element,...)but all of them contain the functional area in its master record.
The P&L reporting structure (created via report painter) can use account groups but restricted to one functional area for porper P&L structure creation.
Best regards, Christian

How to get cost center group from cost center

Hello
I have cost center and i need to get the cost center group.
Anyone having an idea how to get it???
Thanks
Parvez

Hi,
Cost centre could be assigned to different cost centre groups. For standard hierarchy, you can retrieve it from CSKS table, but for other groups SETLEAF table (class 0101) will provide you a complete answer.

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.

CO, which table decribes "cost center" and "cost center group"?

Hello experts,
now I have the transaction KP06. Maybe through customizing the user has built a "cost center group" for some "cost center".
In which table can I find out the relationship between the "cost center" and "cost center group" ?
Thanks.

Displaying only cost center groups

Hi BW Gurus!
There's a standard cost center group and cost center hierarchy in the source system that I was able to extract. My cost center infoobject (0COSTCENTER) had that hierarchy data. My question is, in the instance that I want to display only the cost center groups with its corresponding summation results, how will I able to go about it without having to display the whole hierarchy? Is that possible?
Thanks in advance,
Maan

Hi Arun!
Yes, the hierarchy would be cost center - cost center group.
Thanks for the suggestions..
1) The first option seems ideal with a structured hierarchy. The hierarchy I'm dealing with seems very complicated. The cost center group that I need to report on does not necessarily reside on level one of the hierarchy.
2) It's quite embarrassing to ask but, I've really looked at the standard infoobjects and I haven't seen any that handles cost center group. Any ideas? Or, did you mean that I should create my own?
Thank you so much again!

Function module for custom report for cost center group

Hello all,
I wonder, if there is any SAP function module for following query:
We have got a custom program, which evaluates cost centers. We would like to evaluate a cost center group, like it is available within the report painter - the output screen is splitted into two parts, on the left part there is the cost centre group hierarchy and on the right side, there are the values for the node, which is selected within the hierarchy.
Is there any standard function module od do we have to program it ourself?
Thanks in advance

Hi Peter,
You have a BAPI which gives you the details of cost centre group, if this is what you are looking for:

Function module for Profit Center group and Cost Center group changes

All,
The requirement is to change the profit center group and cost center group from one node to another. Please remember it is trying to simulate the transactions KCH5 and OKEO programatically.
I would like to know if somebody had this requirement previously and had made use of some function module or some other technique which will help in changing the standard hierarchy nodes.
Help is much appreciated.

Get Name for CO Cost Center Group and BGD Processing

Hi,
I use these function modules to get the cost center group nodes in the CO hierarchy.
If I pass it a value that is in two controlling areas
if prompts another screen to pick which controlling area we want to look in. My problem is when I try to run this report in the background it gets hung up on this screen waiting for input. any ideas on how to get around this.
here is the reference code.
thanks
Please note that the following logic is parts of SAP example report
RGSEX001.
Get the internal Set-ID from the external name of the set
Selection of sets can be restricted to a specific set class or
to sets matching a specific table field.
See documentation of function module G_SET_GET_ID_FROM_NAME
If the set class, subclass and setname is known, function module
G_SET_ENCRYPT_SETID should be used alternatively (see RGSEX020)
    CALL FUNCTION 'G_SET_GET_ID_FROM_NAME'
         EXPORTING
              shortname = w_set
              old_setid = w_setid
         IMPORTING
              new_setid = w_setid.
Read the complete hierarchy (set and all subsets)
    CALL FUNCTION 'G_SET_TREE_IMPORT'
         EXPORTING
              setid              = w_setid "Set-ID, not the Setname!!!
              no_table_buffering = ' '
         TABLES
              set_hierarchy      = it_hierarchy
              set_values         = it_values.

Hi!
For reading cost center hierarchy you can try K_HIERARCHY_TABLES_READ.
It returns near the same info as one you've mentioned, works well for single controlling area and I hope in case of ambiguity it will raise one of exceptions provided. Give it try.

Maxim.

MDG-F - Replication model for Cost Center Group

Hello
We are trying to create IDOC replication model for Cost center group IDOC_COSTG for data model 0G (MDG 7.0).
When trying to assign "Outbound Parameter" = SEND_DELTA_INFO against outbound implementation 1112, we are getting error message saying : "Entry 1112 SEND_DELTA_INFO does not exist in DRFC_PARO (check table)".
While checking table DRFC_PARO via SE16, it shows all the entries for 1012 (GL mast), 1102 (cost center) but it is missing entry for 1112 (cost center group).
What are we missing? How to generate entry in this check table DRFC_PARO? which step is creating this entry?
Thanks
Luo

Hello Luo
You have to maintain this entry in following table -
Go to SM30. Give table name - DRFV_PARO and click on maintain. You will get a pop-up for outbound implementation. Give 1112 and proceed. Add the send_delta_info in the table, save it and then add it in DRF. Do add package_data so that you can send multiple cost centers in your target system.

Please, help me
