FX Revaluation with default Cost Object Assignment

Hello,
When we run the FX revaluation program FAGL_FC_Val, SAP books one side to
the balance sheet account and the other side to the P&L account for
unrealized FX Loss/Gain. Since this account is also created as a cost
element, it requires a cost object. However, FX revaluation program posts
the entry without a cost object. We have tcode OKB9 - Default Cost Center
Assignment but SAP does not take values from it.
We are on ECC 6.0
Any assistance is sincerely appreciated.

Hi,
if the P&L account for unrealized FX Loss/gain is created as cost element a posting can only take place if there is a cost object assigned.
You wrote "However, FX revaluation program posts the entry without a cost object" but thats not possible. There must be a cost object, maybe not the one you are expecting...
Maybe the OKB9 entry is maintained for comp. code A the FX valuation is done for comp. code B? Maybe there is a substituion rule created that changes the OKB9 default cost object?
Please check, and come back.
best regards, Christian

Exchange Revaluation - Assigmnet to Cost Object

Hi,
We have defined the Account Determination for the exchange Gain Loss revaluation of open items at the month end. The GL Account defined in the Account Determination is carrying a Cost Element. When the users do the Exchange Gain Loss revaluation, the system gives an error message 'Advising that the Account requires assignment to Cost Object'.
Could any one advise as to how we can maintain the settings for automatic assignment of Cost Center to a GL Code used for Exchange Gain Loss revaluation.

Hi,
In OKB9 default account assignment screen you can assign common cost center code to that cost element permanently.
Try once, assign points if useful.

Finance Postings with incorrect cost elements assigned

Hello,
I am implementing the SAP Plant Maintenance Module (PM) at my Company and Iu2019m running into issues with the finance team regarding the finance (FI) postings during the material goods issue (GI) to the order (MIGO) and financial settlement (KO88) of all order costs.
When a material is issued to the order via MIGO a material document is created with two financial GL postings; credit the inventory account and debit the material expense account. The posting made to the parts expense account contains a reference to a profit center and the PM Order. However my FI Group is saying the posting to the parts expense account must be accompanied by a Cost Center. My understanding of this is that the PM Order itself is an interim cost collector which is why itu2019s referenced in the posting and not a cost center. Knowing that once the settlement run is executed for the PM Order the costs collected in the order will be settled to the appropriate cost elements. Once settlement occurs the FI postings are generated for the materials and the costs are moved to the cost center of the equipment/PM Order. The two material postings generated are; credit to the material expense account (offsets the G.I. posting above) and a debit to the expense account along with the cost center of the equipment. The debit posting to the expense account is the posting that carries the cost center assignment and the one which I believe my finance team is looking however as I said above they expect the cost center assignment in all postings to the parts expense account.
Can anyone tell me what the SAP Standard approach is for CO postings during a Goods Issue to a PM Order and the CO postings for materials during settlement? Is it possible to post to a cost center and PM Order at the same and for what business reason would this be done?
Thank you,
Mike

Hi,
Spare parts or components are the company assets. So while issuing those components for consumption, asset account for materials would get value reduced & expense account for the material would get value added. Here no picture for Cost Center.
Only while doing the settlement, cost center will come into picture by getting the value from order to the Cost center.

Mass inventory revaluation with standard cost

My client uses standard cost and has one primary supplier. The supplier issues a new cost list the first of the year. The client receives a massive spreadsheet with 10000+ item changes.
Is there a way to import a batch of changes to Inventory Valuation as one does with the StockTaking destination for opening balances?

Cindy,
For changing the cost of an item you would use the DTW templates inside oMaterialRevaluation folder in DTW.
You have to remember couple of things before you do this.
If you already have inventory in stock for an item and their cost gets changed then, the Material Revaluation would post the difference to the Variance Account.
Is this what you would do? I am giving below the sample for the DTW.
MaterialRevaluation (Header template)
RecordKey....DocDate
1..................20071210
MaterialRevaluation_lines (Lines template)
RecordKey....ItemCode.....Price......Quantity....WarehouseCode
1......................PCB1........11.00............................01
1......................PCB1........11.00............................02
1......................ATG1........10.50............................01
NOTE: If you have the same item in mutiple warehouses then you will have to add a line for each warehouse
Please let me know

Cost assignment-Multiple cost objects being selected by default from the EP

Hi,
I have created an expense report from the Portal and entered the cost object - a WBS element and saved the report. Now, when I check in table: PTRV_SCOS, it shows me the cost object assigned are - both - the WBS Element as well as the Cost center. This is incorrect as there should be only one cost object - either the cost center or the WBS element. However, when I book the expenses from the backend, it works fine. Only the WBS or cost center is displayed in the table mentioned above. Anyone has any idea as to why this is happening?
Many thanks in advance for your efforts.
Cheers guys.
Hope to hear from you soon

Hi All,
First of all, thanks for your responses..
Right, about the issue, what I explained here was that I am indeed assigning only one cost object: the WBS element. The issue was that even though I am assigning only the WBS element, it was also assigning the cost to the cost center by default. I did some R&D and found the solution to the issue (I was also asked to look for OSS notes but was not satisfied that this issue needs an OSS note to be applied so tried my solution). The issue was in table: T788M (allocate costs to variable account assignment). Here, I created an entry and called it USERGROUP_2 (just a random name) and assigned the variable cost objects (only the WBS and the Cost center) to be displayed. In the next step, I assigned this usergroup to the country in quesion feature (TRVCO). By doing this, I tell the system that only these cost objects are to be considered when an employee wants to assign the cost object. If the system sees that there is no value from the drop down to choose from, it picks up the default cost object (cost center). This was a simple issue that I had to rattle my brains on... but the solution I mention above worked like a hot knife going through butter...
If you guys face this issue, please try this else feel free to get in touch with me on my number below.
Once again, thanks for your responses.

Cost element report with cost object name column

Hi,
i'm looking for a report similar to S_ALR_87013601: Cost Elements: Breakdown by Object Type, but including a column with the cost object name. Does anyone know if such a report exists? If it doesn't exist, how can i create a report like this?
Some of my company costs are assigned to cost centers and some of them are assigned to wbs elements. We would like a report where we could have all the information together.
Thank you very much

Hi Xavi ,
Some of my company costs are assigned to cost centers and some of them are assigned to wbs elements. We would like a report where we could have all the information together.=>
There is not standard report available.. which will display total cost per company code.. i,e cost booked on cost centers, internal order and WBS elements ... This is becuse each modules store data in seperate tables.
You have to create a ABAP report to serve your pourpose. You have to collate all the costs booked in a company code for cost centers, IO and WBS elements . Pick up real costs only as per company code..
We are using such custom report and its working fine.

Assign cost object by condition type for accounting

Hello All,
Our scenario is that we have a single billing line with a service order assigned as the cost object on the line item. This line has multiple condition types going to different GL accounts on the RV document.
Once the service order is on the billing line all of the RV document lines get the same service order for cost object assignment We want to assign different cost objects (service order, internal order) to the different lines on the RV document based on the GL account.
Example:
Billing document line 10
Material 123456
Service order 999999
Condition type           GL                      Desired Cost Object
ZZ01                      480000                  999999 - service order
ZZ03                      560000                  11111 - internal order
ZZ04                      470000                  999999 - service order
ZZ05                      440000                   22222 - internal order
We have the multiple GLs getting assigned, it is just the cost object on the RV document that is a problem. Is there a way to do this in config...or is a user exit the only option?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response. It looks like we're going to try and rework the account assignment so a user exit is not required (use OKB9 instead).

Exchange Rate Difference in PO with cost center assignment

Hi All,
In case of exchange rate difference in a PO with a cost center assignment the system Do not post the difference in the exchange rate difference account (maintained under transaction type - KDM - in T-code OBYC). However if the PO is a normal material PO it posts the exchange rate difference to the exchange rate difference account.
I want the exchange rate difference to be posted to the exchange rate difference accout for PO's with cost center assigned as well.
I have searched for SAP notes and found that note # 980402 & 1102481 provides a solution for this issue - but it seems both the notes are valid for 4.6 and 6 release only. We are on ECC 5.0
I have also checked note # 1136145 for this and implemented in the system successfully without any luck.
Can some one please help me with a solution for this issue.
Thanks and regards,
Ankur

Even I have implemented this note in our 4.6C system for account assigned POs, but no luck. Please let me know if are successful.
Thanks

Hi
Your requirement class settings must have had sales order as a cost object
1. Go to sale order, procurement tab
2. Check whats the req type
3. Go to OVZH and check whats the req class assigned to this req type
4. Go to OVZG and check whats the acount assignment cateory in req class.. I think it is E
You should use a proper req class/type to avoid this error

Cost object derivation in MM invoice through CO substitution

Hi Gurus,
As per a new requirement default cost object (from PO line item) should not be derived at AP Invoice and instead cost object should be derived from Equipment record which is related to this PO line item. It can not be changed manually at invoice level as invoice will be generated automatically through T code MRIS.
I had tried to achieve the same through CO substitution (T code OKC9). But this is substituting the cost object at FI document level and not at MM document level. Means - Cost object is derived from equipment record and populated at FI invoice level. But cost object from PO line item is populated in MM invoice document.
How I can substitute cost object at MM invoice level.
Any response from your side will be highly appreciated at this end.

Kang,
In the message which you got, the word 'Cost Object' refered to a cost center, or order, or any other cost object.
However, there is another account assignment object with the name 'Cost Object', which was not filled in the FI document. That is normal.
Right now I don't have much information in the a/c assignment object 'Cost Object'.
Regards,
Vishal.

Assignment of Cost object

Hi Gurus,
I am using one controlling area for 4 for a group of companies with 4 company codes. When i am assigning some co object to a particular GL account that is creating the problem for other company codes. For Example:
Controlling Area 1234.
Gl account : 9000 4444( expenses) for 4 company codes "same"
Already created 4 cost centres for each company code with the same number, only initial has changed. Like for company 1 it is 1000 1234, for 2nd company 2000 1234 so on.
Now when they are processing they are facing problem for a different company code.
Pls provide me the solution.
Satya.

Hi Satya
In the cost element master, you can specify only one cost center as both company codes are assigned to same controlling area.
In this case you need to specify default cost center using t code OKB9, wherein you will be able to specify default cost center per company code.
Award points, if useful.

Sale of Material - Assignment to Cost Object Error

Dear Forum,
The users while trying to do the PGI, encountered the error - "Account xxxxx requires an assigment to Cost Objet". However, when we check the Material Master, for doing the OKB9 maintenance, we get the message 'Costing View' not maintained for thie material. How could be the reason and how can we address this issue.
Another issue is that the posting is going to the wrong GL Account, which is mentioned in the aforesaid error message. How can we check the MM Account Determination to verify the correctness of the GL Account for posting of the Cost of Sales at the time of PGI.
Thanks for the help.
Regards

Hi,
Use transaction code: KA02: enter G/L account xxxxx(Cost element) and in default acct assinmt TAB,assign the Cost Center and save.
Now try ur transaction.
OR
Check the field status of the account in FS00. If this account requires CO object as mandatory then check whether a cost element is created or not , this error normally occurs when CO object is mandatory but relevant cost element is not created.
Example: CO object may be cost center, cost element, WBS element
OR
Use t.code OKB9 and assign G/L account to cost object with ur company code and save.

For 2nd issue
Check VAY in OBYC under GBB
