Functional location and cost center link

Hi All,
I need to know the table that contains the details of functional location and the cost center mapped to that.
I know a table IFLOT which gives details of the functional location, however i do not see field for cost center in that.
Let me know if there is any other table which gives this data.
Thanks,
Regards
Raghavendra

Raghavendra,
Pass the ILOAN of your Functional location to ILOA table and get 'KOSTL' - Cost center.

Disntinguish between functional area and cost center

Hello,
what's the real pupose of defining func. areas and assigning to cost centers.
ok, we can capture all the costs of all cost centers , fine, but even the cost center will do that and we can report at cost center grp level or at any grp level, but still not clear abt the true significance of it as compared to cost cneter which does the same. Also how should we go about defining functioanl areas
please advice.
points will be awarded.
thnaks very much.

Cost Center Linkage between Functional Location and Equipment.

Hi Gurus,
We have found in our analysis that it is impossible to copy the cost center of a superior functonal location to a subordinate one when the cost center of subordinate functional location is changed manually.
We intend to do a mass change for our cost centers of all our functional locations and equipments for all our plants. We need to know how do we achieve this change of cost centers.
Thanks:
Siddharth

Thanks All for your information.
Actually the Master data team has to do a mass update of cost centers for the Functional locations and Equipments.
And what we have found is that when we change the cost center for an equipment individually it changes the cost center origin of the equipment to "D" which means independent of the changes in the cost center at FL level.
Be it IBIP or any other way what we have found that the linkage(cost center origin) between the FL and the EQUIP changes to "D" when ever we change the cost center for the equipment.
We don't want to change this linkage as it may have other consequences that we can not foresee at this point.
So, my question is :
If the FL and EQUIP linkage (cost center origin field) is changed(from H to D or D to H), what could be the effect on the FL and EQUIP relation?
Cost center origin :
D Independent of changes in cost center at FL level
H It is dependent on the FL cost center.
Thanks:
Siddharth

Functionality of Profit Center and Cost Center

Hi,
I am unable to understand the functionality of Profit center and cost center, I know that cost center represents area within an organization for which you will like to see the expenses for a particular time period. for example in an organisation we have three cos centers Accounts, HR and Admin. whenever you post an accounting document in FI you will specify the cost center to which the expense relates. but in some cases when you post an expense and give the relative cost center the profit center is also driven by the system. why is this behavior? i mean i have posted an expense not an income then why is system driving the profit center as well?
Profit centers are used if you want to see the profit of different area of your organisation. in what kind of postings we use profit center? and if we could use profit center to draw income and loss for a specific area why do we need segment reporting? and what is the difference between Segment and Business area. what i understood from their definition is that they are both same and use for same purpose.
I am totally lost in these concepts. please some one help me out with an example. i am stuck at this point. some one please clarify my concept of Profit Center, Cost Center, Segments and business area please.

Hi,
Cost center & Profit Center are organizational units within the enterprise structure , created for better internal control.
As the name suggests Cost Center is the lowest level of the organizational unit representing a defined location of cost incurrence or otherwise to which you can meaningfully assign the cost(both direct & Indirect).
Profit Center is an organizational unit in accounting ,where management would require to see the profitability & fix the responsibility. It may be each plant/division of the company .
If you consider the Plant is the Profit center, you can take the various deptts in the Plant as cost centers. you can draw a balance sheet & profit & loss account statement at profit center level but this will be for your internal use.From this you can know the ROI on particular area. Profit centers are assigned inside the cost center so when you update cost center, profit centers are updated automatically.
Where as Segments are used for legal reporting of your accounting standard as per IFRS. Both Business Area & Segments are more or less same with some technical difference.
Business area is a free organizational unit. It can be derived through cost center or can be entered manually.
But segment is a dependent organizational unit. It is defined & attached inside the profit center master data. It can’t be entered manually.
SAP suggest to use the Segment concept.
Thanks & regards

Table Link between the Functional Location and work order

Hi Gurus,
I am stuck in a big problem and have to find a way to list down the work order with a specific user status in the system. I am trying to link it based on the functional location as the inputs will have to be functional location and the date. Can any one guide me with the tables to link these two???
Thanks in advance
Anoop

Hi,
Depending on your exact requirement, you might be able to select from view VIAUFKST_IFLOS. This would allow selection based on order, functional location and various dates. The field IPHAS will give you some system status information - value will indicate which status the order has reached. Example value = 3 indicates order is technically completed.
To get the exact system status (or user status) you need to read the JEST table. Read this table by OBJNR. The object number will have the format OR005000123456 (where 5000123456 is the order number). It will be available in the order tables.
Status values in JEST are in the internal format - example I0002 = REL. Check transaction BS23 to see the link. User status values will have the format E0002. If INACT flag is set in a jest record then that status value is not active. If you want to check for a specific status value then call function STATUS_READ.

I have put the functional location in KSSK-OBJEK but when I am providing the functional location say
?0100000000000838737 in this field of table KSSK, it is resulting no output. Could you please elaborate
more or suggest something.

I am also looking for same information.
Would you please advise where to get this Internal Type?
Also would you please advise what is the use of table KSSK in whole process?

Service Order Planned Costs and Cost Center Planned Line Items

Experts,
I am curious of Service Order Planned costs, and whether or not these planned costs are being posted to the Cost Center linked to the Service Order Operation's work center.
I am a but puzzled as I don't see any planned costs from any Service Order Operation in a cost center linked to the Operations work center, when reviewing "Cost Centers: Plan Line Items" report.
BR,
Cenk

The planned costs were input in one of the Service Order operations as planned hours. There is a column for it in the operations list. The amount of hours have incurred a planned cost on the Service Order header.
I simply assumed that this cost would be credited to the Cost Center linked to the operation's Work Center. But that is obviously not the case. I am not familiar with the PLICC field and the functionality it provides.
Thanks!

Bring profit center and cost center hierarchy from R3 to BW in BI 7.0

Hello,
I need to get the hierarchy from R/3 to BW. Can someone send me a link or mention steps i need to do to bring profit center and cost center hiearchy from R3 to BW.
Thanks
Laura.

As you would for any other infoobject
Activate the business content hierarchy datasources on R3 for cost centre and profit centre
Go into BW - replicate the metadata
Then just connect via transformations or transfer rules the datasources to yoru infosources or master data objects
Create an infopackage per hierarchy!!!!! - press the button available hirachies from OLTP - click the one you want on the left - fire it off
Then repeat new infopackages for all hierachies

How to change Functional area in cost center master

Dear Guru,
As required, i have to change the Functional area in cost center master data.
SAP Warning Message :
Transaction data exists; note long text
Note
A change of the functional area can lead to inconsistencies when reversing documents.
If documents are reversed after the functional area has been changed, in some cases,
the reversal document may be posted with the new functional area.
My question is how to change the new functional area to the old one after reversing documents.
We aren't using Special Purpose Ledger . Please Help me, thanks.

Hi
For the transactions already posted you will not be able to change the Functional Area. Also if those documents are getting reversed now after the change, the reversal document will get posted to the new Functional Area only.
For all those documents which gets reversed after the change, you need to pass FI journal entry by changing the Functional area in the journal entry and not in the Cost Center Master

How to Override Company and Cost Center for FI Posting from HR Payroll

Current problem: A company code has been 'merged' into another one and the old company code can no longer be used. In the last payroll run, there was a rate change that caused a retro back to the time of the old company code and since the old company code and cost center were closed, the FI posting error'ed out. To correct, we had to delete the offending pernr from the cluster and back out the rate change until we came up with a solution.
Investigation has revealed a process called 'Substitute Cost Centers', but we tested it and a 'flusher' cost center is required to be set up in the old company code and FI refuses to open it up.
Also, I've located 3 user exits for RPCIPE00, but I do not see where company and cost center can be changed. So I've tried to code my own BAdi, but there seems to be a header company code that I'm not getting. The item company code and cost center seem to be doable, but I don't know how to change the header company code.
I am new to HR and Payroll having spent the last couple of years in BI and before that I worked with the material master and Purchasing. It is my humble opinion that the company should not have been 'turned off' until Payroll was finished with it and that means 2 years until we archive. In reading about symbolic accounts, several times it is written not ever to delete them. Seems to me company code is the same. But surely I must be wrong and there is a solution that will make everybody happy.
I would appreciate any and all ideas. Thank you so much.

Amosha, thank you for your response. Here is PCP0 that shows what I mean by 'header company code' that I don't see how to change (I re-ran pd 26 2008--bi-weekly payroll, btw):

Error in document: HRPAY 0000008174
The CO account assignment object belongs to company code 0001, not 0057
Company code 0057 is now closed and has been merged into 0001. Cost center 14515 in the above doc was populated by my clone of RPCIPE00 and call to my BAdI which retrieved current company and cost center from PA0001. You can see from above that the 'header' data still shows 0057 and indeed, my version of RPCIPE00 only changes P_ITEM-BUKRS, P_ITEM-KOSTL and P_ITEM-SGTXT. It looks to me that fm HRPP_TRANSLATE_FICO gets the 'header' company code afresh. I was planning to leave WPBP-BUKRS (and all other Payroll data) alone (ie, not override company code).
As for your other question, we post retros to /551 and /552.
Thanks again.
