GL cost allocation batches transaction level information

Hi
In Gl_LINES_ALL, all reference columns information is NULL.
After posting the cost batches into GL, what is procedure to find transaction level information for these cost batches.
Eg: For Inventory and receivables batches transaction information stored into GL_JE_LIENS Reference columns, in the same way cost batches transaction how can we find.

Hi Dianne,
Check whether the real time integration between co and fi has been done in transaction OK17.

Msg. error BK048 for manual cost allocation

Hi,
we got a warning message for manual cost allocation (KB15N), when posting this allocation just with a quantity and without an amount. We would like to post this allocation without amount and therefore need to change the message type from warning (W) to information (I), to do this posting.
When using transaction OBA5, there is just a fixed and not adjustable value for Standard with "W". Do you know any workarounds or how we can change this message type to do this posting?
Regards
Florian

Hi Florian,
HAve you assigned users in OBA5?.
Go to OBMSG, for this particular Message number in the allowed message types, specify IWE etc. In the standard column specify I. Also you could check on check box "Switch Off" if you want to have the option of not seeing the message at all.
Now goto OBA5, against the message number, in the "Online" column , specify I or - (Switch Off) and do the same in the BAtchl column also.
Now you need too specify a user only if you want this change for specific users , if you want all the users to be able to post manual cost allocation then do not specify any user name.
Do tell me if it works.
Regards
Susan

Resource Breakdown structure role in Project Cost Allocation.

Dear Experts,
What is the role of resource breakdown structure while running project cost allocations? Is it possible that targets in the allocation process gets the cost allocated to the resources in RBS which is same for source as well as target projects?

Hi
The resource breakdown structure (RBS) is used in the system to summarize the amounts from the lowest level leaf to the grouping / parent levels.
You can use a summarized amount of certain node on the RBS, per your source project, as the source amount that will be allocated.
On the target projects the allocation transactions are created as expenditure items. Those expenditure items will be on target project and task, using the expenditure type and expenditure organization you have setup for the allocation rule.

Config for Cost & budgeting at activity level and WBS element level in PS

Dear GURU's,
please suggest me how to do the spro configuration for budgeting and costing, here my requirement is I need to do cost planning and budgeting at WBS element level and Activity level. We two deferent types of projects.
Regards,
Bha

Hi Bhanu,
Cost planning in projects can be done through two techinques:
I. Manual cost planning (at WBS level)
1. Overall planning (Struture-oreiented planning)
2. Detailed planning (Cost element planning)
3. Unit costing
4. Easy cost planning form
II. Automatic cost planning using networks and assigned orders
For customizing: Use transaction OPUV and enter the required entries for cost planning.
Budget can do only at WBS level. For configuration do the following steps:
1. Create Budget profile - OPS9
2. Assign Budget profile in Project profile - OPSA
3. Then allot budget to your project - CJ30
hope it will be very clear. Appreciate with point if it useful.
Thanks and Regards

Cost by Batch Number

Just to be sure, there is no way to manage an item cost by batch number?
Thank you

Thank you for replying, actually I do manage my raw materials by batch, but when release them from inventory, they get released with a cost valued by average or FIFO depending on the Item settings but, what I need, is to get the cost at batch level, not at item level.
Im guessing it is not possible, could it be done by sdk?
Thank you!

How to check plan line items for plan cost at network activity level?

Dear all,
How to check plan line items for plan cost at network activity level? The plan cost is done in network activity in CJ20N.
I am not able to check using CJI4 or CJI9 report.
Kindly advise.
Thanks and regards,
Jessie

Hi Jess,
Have you checked the navigation part which is being displayed on left hand side of report S_ALR_87013565 and S_ALR_87013533.? There you have option to check transaction currency and object currency when you double click on it.
In case if it is not being displayed under navigation. Then you can bring them on from transaction code CJE2. For eg: Report group for S_ALR_87013533 is 12KST1C. Double click on it and it will open up to do changes in report layout and many more. There you also have options to bring on transaction currency too. Similarly, you can check for other report groups as well just by checking the report description.
But I am not sure if suits your requirements. Wait for other experts to comment on this.

Amit

JDBC sender Adapter consistency and Transaction level - URGENT

Hi,
We are using the JDBC adapter to read data from an Oracle view. The view joins two tables on their keys where flag = 0. The JDBC adapter carries out the select and then updates the selected rows with flag = 1. The transaction level used is the default, which according to XI help is TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE.
Our question is what happens if the oracle application that feeds the underlying tables inserts a new record in the time interval between the select statement and the update statement with flag = 0.
WILL THE UPDATE STATEMENT UPDATE EVERYTHING, EVEN THE NEWLY INSERTED RECORD??
As we are in a live environment and we have reason to believe that some records updated to FLAG = 1 are NOT sent to XI we would appreciate the expert's help on this issue!

Dimitris,
I was looking at the FAQ :JDBC Driver Snote and found this information which seems to answer ur question.
Q: If I have the following configured in a JDBC Sender:
Select Query:
SELECT column FROM TABLENAME WHERE FLAG = "TRUE"
Update Query:
UPDATE TABLENAME SET FLAG = "FALSE" WHERE FLAG = "TRUE"
How do I know that the JDBC adapter will not update newly added rows (rows that were added between the time that the SELECT and UPDATE queries were executed) that were not read in the initial SELECT query?
A: The SELECT and the UPDATE are run in the same DB transaction, i.e. both statements have the same view on the database.
Make sure that both statements use the same WHERE clause. An additional requirement for the correct operation of this scenario is the configuration of an appropriate transaction isolation level on the database (i.e., repeatable_read or serializable). You might also consider using a "SELECT FOR UPDATE" statement instead of a plain SELECT statement to ensure proper locking on the database.

How to Capture Multiple Cost centres and Business Unit information in a project?

Dear Experts,
With the help of UDA functionality in project super responsibility, I have captured Cost centre and Business unit information and this info will be used/reflected in CC and BU segments of all transactions gets recorded against that project.
Now, our user wish to have multiple cost centres and business units to be tracked in the same one project. How is this feasible? Below example describes my requirement in a summary, please advise.
An Indirect project is created when a defect on a machine reported from client's customer and all subsequent activities (purchases, travel to customer site to analyse and troubleshoot, purchases for any in-house analysis etc..involves costs spending internally) in resolving that defect/project involves 6 to 7 different departments (Sales, Tech Support, Quality team etc.,who actually work/travel and spend costs against project until defect resolution). And, each of the above departments will have 1 dedicated owner (project owners) to manage that project and each of these 6 or 7 owners owners will have their own cost centres (eg: 2345 - Sales team) against which they wish to see their transactions (travel, purchases during defect resolution) globally.
So, all I want to know is how can I make one single project to accommodate multiple cost centresand business unit information to be assigned using UDA? Please let me know if I am not clear.
Regards
Venkat

I think you should use the expenditure organization on the transaction itself to derive the CC/BU. Have AA lookups and define AA rules where you look at a Exp Org to BU or Cost Center to derive accounting.

Cost allocation flexfield

hi
after reading payroll UG, i am a bit confused about cost allocation flexfield for payroll, assignment, element link, org,element entry.
can i consider this flexfield as a T ledger, the first popup field is for Debit, the second one is for Credit purposes, when they are used for those 5 sections?

the payroll - org - element entry - assignment - element link are levels at which you can define to show a segment or not.
In case a segment is specified at a higher level, it is inherited from the other levels, so an end user has not to enter all the data all over again. (like a waterfall)
The most detailed level is the element entry level. Imagine if the end user must enter there for each segment and for each segment all values. Too much work and too error prone.
So you can set values for a specific segment at a specific level (example company code at payroll level).
Costing then rolls up all levels to fully qualify all the segments.

Multiple Cost Allocation Structures in Single Business Group

We are curently looking at solution design of creating multiple Cost
allocation flexfield in single business group environment.
Purpose :
Based on organization structure (18 companies) , the finance
consultants proposed multiple COA structures with different
valuesets , wherein values sets will be specific to the companies .
This was suggested inorder to aviod tedious job of defining
validations and post production support.
This has impact on payroll solution design wrt to cost allocation FF ,
where in we have to define multiple structures to map to Accounting
FFs.
Woudl like to check if oracle payroll supports this kind of setups.
Note :The implementation is for UAE localization.
Rgds/Lavanya

If Finance System has multiple COA structures with different valuesets , wherein values sets will be specific to the companies then they will seperating cosing on Various OU Level.
As my understanding, you have to create multiple Business Group as per multiple COA structures .

Where do we use the ITEM USAGE in SD Transaction Level ?

Dear Experts,
In VOV4, We maintain the Item Category Determination for sales use.
I know that the following are the elements used in determining the item category:
1. Sales Document Type
2. Item Category Group
3. Item USAGE
4. Higher Level Item Category
Now, My Question is,WHERE Exactly we use this "Item USAGE" in the transaction level.
Is any one Having any IDEA where do we use this ITEM USAGE at transaction level ?
Please be so kind and guide me finding its location in transactions.
BR,
Venkat

Hi,
Taking an example for Batch management process.
In Batch Management process from the SD perespective when we do delivery we have TWO Item Category that will be displaying in the Delivery Document.
So there is a parent line item and then a sub line item. Sub Line item will have the batch number and the quantity. There in order to determine these two line item from the Item category determination purpose this USAGE come into play.
ITEM Category define - How you will control the behaviour of the material . Now for batch management process and the batch managed Material behaves in a different way.
So this usage is used to map such bussiness scenario. Frequently used are PACKING Scenario , Batch Management and Free goods.
Thanks

Changing Batch Management Level from Material to Plant

Hi all,
We are investigating changing our batch management level from material to plant to meet business requirements.
SAP has pointed us to a note with a program to reset the batch level, as well as highlighting some things to look out for.
I've conducted the change in a playpen system and so far it looks relatively straightforward, with complexities arising only when characteristics exist, or when a batch exists in multiple plants.
Seems that batch master data is moved from MCH1 to MCHA, including the object link number to classification. Unfortunately it seems a limitation of the conversion is that the batch master data is copied to ONE plant only in MCHA, no doubt due to the fact the object number link to classification must be unique.
My question is this: has anyone performed this change before, and if so can you offer me any advice on what to look out for, or potential problems that arose after the change?
Any help or comments are appreciated.
Mark.

hi..
first of all try this simple one...
You will have to delete all the materials, remove stock and then switch the batch management flag.
Or
To convert the batch from plant level to material there is Conversion Program defind by the SAP...
1. For all releases lower than Release 4.5B, implement the corrections and the modification in the report RM07CHDX as described in the correction instructions.
2. Create the report ZCHTCUCH, which is specified in the attachment.
3. Run this report in the clients for which you want to reset batch level to plant level.
4. Call transaction OMCT.
5. Check whether the batch level for "Batch unique at plant level" is set.
6. Implement Notes 821891, 944278, 950540 and 1091613 if you have not already done so (or you have not imported the corresponding Support Package).
7. Execute the function "Batch Level -> Conversion".
8. Define a plant for a plant view that may be missing.
9. Always execute the report in the test mode first. Analyze the error log.
10. If no errors occur, you can execute the report in production mode.
11. If you are working with batch long texts, first execute the report ZM07CHDX_TEXT in test mode.
try this out..hope is works,,
Thanks..

Common cost allocation to assets in service at different times

Hi,
My client constructs large assets that typically go into service over a period of several months. They track some asset costs on tasks assigned to a grouping level of specific assets, while other "general" costs are coded to a task assigned to a grouping level of "Common costs". The problem is that when one of the assets gets placed into service, all of the "common" costs get allocated to that assets. This is resulting in disproportionately larger asset costs for the first one placed in service and a smaller share of those costs allocated to the last asset placed into service.
What is the best method to get these general-type costs to allocate proportionately across all the assets even though they are placed in service across several different months?
Thanks!

Hi
The problem of equal prorating the common costs is that task may still incur costs after the first asset has been placed in service. The other assets will also incur additional costs.
You may consider holding the common cost till the end of the entire project. That task should not be assigned to common cost, but instead assigned it to a separate asset, with quantity of 100 units. When project is completed and all other assets are placed in service go and interface the "common" asset lines to FA.
In Mass Addition split that last asset into separate N assets, where N is the number of real assets generated from that project. Now add the cost of the last "common" assets to the other assets already in FA.

OKB9 Cost Center at Header level

SAP Experts
In one of my sub contracting scenario I have assigned cost element in okb9 for multiple business area with the combination of valuation area, no profit centre is assigned. At the time of posting system is asking for co object assignment for the cost element of sub contracting which is assigned in okb9.
When I am assigning a dummy cost centre at header level of okb9, it works fine.
Please tell me the use of header cost centre in case of multiple cost centre assignment in okb9.
Pavan

Hi Pavan,
I hope you know for which material system returns error message i.e. co object assignment required.Go to material master and find that what kind of division they assigned in the material master, Then go to the transaction code OMJ7 find that division has been assigned to your valuation class, business are or not. If they are not assigned please maintain the division against the valuation area and do the process again. I hope your problem will be resolved please assigned the points.Be ensure okb9 settings are correct.
Regards
Maruthi.
