GL cost element differance

Hi,
In Our system , GL Raw mat Consumption ( Good s Issue) value is differs from Cost element (Raw Mat Consumption). Pls advice why this differance and how to get solve this.
Thanx in advance

Hi
It need not be the same in both sides. If certain costs are posted in controlling area (cross-company code, functional area, business area, etc.) the same need not get updated in FI side until the time reconciliation is done.

Cost element and Line item reports show different actual costs

Hi PS experts,
My client has an issue pertaining to actual cost reports. The cost element report shows actual costs $42,000 for one WBS and when I double click to see details the value it shows is $2100. Even when I checked line item report for this WBS the value is $2100. What could be the reason for getting different values? If some one throw some light on this it would be great helpful to me

The values in CJI3 should be correct and will include all postings (e.g. Settlement values) and possibly Actual Revenues unless a filter is in place - so take this as being your correct figure to start with.
Your drilldown will show the same value as CJI3 because it is CJI3
Any cost element report you are using is probably correct for what you are asking - is this a Standard Cost Element Report you are using or is it bespoke
One thing to be careful of when you drilldown on Cost Element Reports is that you do not always get the a make up of the value you have drilled down
e.g.
Cost Element Report was run for Period 1 to 6 2008 and shows £100.00
You drilldown and sometimes the drilldown automatically shows ALL line items e.g £500.00 (not just the values for periods 1 to 6 of 2008 which you may expect £100.00)
In the past I've removed the drilldown capability from bespoke cost element reports to prevent drilldown to the line item report (which is CJI3) because of this problem.
Usually where values for a a number of periods only (not total costs) was required
Other factors to consider
Revenues/Settlements may be excluded from Cost Element Report but will not be excluded from CJI3 unless you specifically restrict
You need to identify which types are postings are missing from the Cost Element Report (what is common...cost element, dr/cr indicator, business transaction)
I've also hit the mistake in the past where I've asked for periods 1 2007 to period 3 2008 and instead of giving me just over a years worth of actual it gave me actuals for periods 1 to 3 for 2007 and 1 to 3 for 2008.
Hope this helps

COPA cost base same cond. map to NET Sales different cost elements problem

Hi Guru,
I have the following issue:
I mapped ONE billing condition type assigned to ONE value field. ZPCD is assigned to value field VV110 (net sales)
That one condition type can post to 2 different cost element based on the account assignment group of the item
One cost element is set up and revenue type 11 and the value is posted to COPA value field NET SALES
The other cost element is set up as cost type 1 and the posting to COPA is blank i.e. no posting to value field NET SALES
In both cases a COPA document is created i.e. total 2 COPA documents one for each posting.
What is the problem??
Thanks
Linda

For the purchased products, you may perhaps use the condition type VPRS to bring in the material price from the material master.

Cost center and cost element in different collumns

Dear all,
I developed a report painter where the lead collumn has cost element and cost center. When I run the report it shows at the same collumn the cost centers and in a different line the cost element totalizing the amount of each cost center. So the report shows for each cost element the cost centers posted with this cost element. The report show like below:
|-------
Cost center A | 100
Coste center B | 200
|-------
Cost element xxx - 300
The problem is: How can I make the Cost element in a separate column ? Ex:
Cost element xxx | Cost center A | 100
Cost element xxx | Cost center B | 200
Cost element xxx - 300 (In fact I don''t need the total)
I need cost element and cost centers in different collumns to allow export it for other application..
Regards

Hi
In report painter report we have only one lead column so we cannot have cost centers and cost elements in two different columns.Instead we can use the functionality of variation.Give the cost center in general data selection screen and select the variation functionality.So that cost centers are displayed on the left side of the report as hirearchy and only cost elements are only displayed in lead column.
Thanks

BEx:Hierarchies in DIM and FAC are different for Cost Element

Hi Experts,
Whenever we execute a report we are getting a warning message as "Hierarchies in DIM and FAC are different for Cost Element", but in report level we are not maintaining hierarchy properties for Cost Element.
We have executed Master Data tests in RSRV also and still the problem.
Is any other to do to get rid of this warning message?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
RAO.

Hi all,
I face the issue like this but with transaction KOAP - Plan settlement
But, the problem is that, I do not active reconciliation ledger, so I do not maintain any thing relate to reconciation ledger or adjustment posting? I can do transaction "actual settlement" without error
So, How this error come to me?
And how I can fix it?
Thanks all!

Repost to different allocation cost element

Hi Guru,
Maintenance cost has been allocated to maintenance order using activity type MAINT1 ( allocation cost element MAINT1_ACT , category 43) , but business wanted to post to a different allocation cost element. So I created a new activity type MAINT3 with new allocation cost element MAINT3_ACT, and try to use KB65 to do reposting ( see below ), but this doesn't seem to have option of updating the receiving allocation cost element, the sending and receiving cost element still pointed to MAINT1_ACT. Idealy, it should empty out the postings on MAINT1_ACT and post to MAINT3_ACT.
I also try to create reposting cycle, but don't know how to add activity type and cost element field on the receiver side. Please help if you can, thanks!!

You need to cancel the operation which is confirmed to reverse the cost from cost element. change the activity type against the operation and again to operation confirmation. tcode IW41 confirmation and tcode IW45 cancel confirmation.

Use transaction OKB9 to assgin cost elements to a profit center.
One cost element can be assgined to one profit center only.

Production Order - Segregating Costs for different cost elements.

Hi Experts,
I am a QM Key User and have been asked to look into improving our current Non-conformance / re-work process.
My plan is to include the rework operations within the original PP01 Production Order.
So far:
Three Work Centres have been created:
1. NCRTEST u2013 1st WC to collect hours
2. NCRTEST2 u2013 2nd WC to collect hours
3. NCROUTSO u2013 To collect costs associated with outsource operations i.e. weld repair, shaft straightening.
NCR-02: Activity Type Created
Two new control keys created
1. NC01: Confirmation of hours
2. NC02: Outsource operations (requisition generated)
NCRTEST-CC: Cost Centre Created
The Price Planning for Cost Centre/Activity has been specified (KP26 and KPB6)
Two new Cost Elements have been created:
1. 43001201 u2013 Costs associated with the outsource operation
2. 94301021 u2013 NCR Labour Hour Costs
On a test production order we have managed to isolate the NCR hours to cost element 94301021 and the outsource operation costs to 43001201; however these costs are automatically settling to the production order material which then settle to the WBS (that is my understanding).
Is there any way of stopping the costs associated with the two cost elements from settling to the Production Order material? The costs cannot be settled this way as my intention, is for a new development which allocate the costs to the relevant notification QM Order.
The QM Order will then be settled in the normal way. Settling the production order and the QM order will result in duplicate costs.
I am not sure if this is a possible solution but is it possible for a negative cost to automatically post to the production order material for the two cost elements. The production order value would be correct and the QM Order could be posted as normal.
Thanks in Advance
Ben

Hi,
I would expect that the costs get settled to the material only when you settle the production order to the receiver material. I don't think that happens automatically....it will have to be done explicitely

Line item report on secondary cost element (cat - 21)

Hi Gurus,
Secondary cost element with category 21 is used for internat settlement from order to wbs or wbs to cost center. But can we see line item report on this cost element. Or we cannot see any line item report on this cost element. it is just used for internal settlement purpose.
Please clear this doubt. thank you

Hi Mohit,
I hope you can have line item report @ order and WBS element stright away...
for orders use: KOB1 transaction code for actual line items, where you have the facility of entering CE or CE group to find the vaues related to particular cost elements in the order. If you are flexible with CEs related to 21, give there otherwise create a CE group specific to 21 category and enter the group and find the results you want.
same way for WBS elements/projects: we have transaction code CJI3 for actual line items, here also we can enter CE or CE groups
Not only for actual line items, we have the option of viewing plan line items, budget line items, and commitment line items @ both order and WBS level with different transaction codes other than mentioned above, like KOB2, KOB3, CJI4, CJI2 etc
I hope it helps a lot if I understand your query right
Regards..

Cost element in FRL in obyc

hi all
we have created external service account as cost element and that is mentioned iin transaction key FRL in obyc
so whenever i am doing the GR for subcontracting posting system will debit the FRL account and will credit the GR/IR account
so at the time of Gr system is asking for the co object now thing is that i cant mention the Cost center there as there is no option in migo for that
my query is do we have to create a new account for FRL and that we should not make up as a cost element but then how we are going to pass the expense entry to controlling module from FI
i

Hi,
There is always an alternative way of defaulting Cost Center for one cost element.You can put default cost center at Cost Element master data. But still I believe , you can solve this problem thru OKB9. Try accessing the tab Default Account Assignment per business area/Valuation area. This tab allows you within one company code and for specific Cost element , to put accross different cost center for different plan/valuation area provided you are working with plant as valuation area concept.
Pls check and let me know
Cheers

Secondary Cost Element Values doesn't display in Profit Center Report

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with our Profit Center plan/actual/variance reports wherein it doesn't display the postings I made to the Secondary cost element when I executed an assessment cycle (KSU5). I already set in the configuration that all postings to be done in the cost centers, should have a parallel posting to the profit center assigned to it. I can see the postings in my cost center reports, but not in my profit center report. Could I have missed out on any procedure to enable the secondary cost element parallel posting in my profit centers? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

it might be the configuration of the library or some parameter in the report (record type should be 0 and 2 for actual values, where 2 stands for distributed values and 1 and 3 for planned values)
but it also might be that the reconciliation is done between different CC and same PC
- check your CC organisation asignment
- if sender cost center and receiver cost center have tha same PC it is probably the reason
- I had that problem my self and didn't solve it
cheers

Two Cost Element for the same GL

Hi,
We have 2 Company Codes - 1000 & 2000. We are using same CoA in both the Company Codes. We have a GL, say 12345678 for posting short/excess amount. So during MIRO, the accounting entry would be:
GR/IR a/c dr.          10,000
GL 12345678                  2
                   Vendor            10,002
GL 12345678 would be dr or Cr would depend on short/excess amount.
We have created Cost Element for this GL 12345678. If I post the MIRO without attaching a Cost Center to this Cost Element system thows an error to attach the Cost Center. I have separate Cost Center for Company Codes 1000 & 2000 however I can only put one Cost Center in this Cost Element.
Can anyone advice how can I post the above mentioned entry with different Cost Center. This line item (GL 12345678) is generated automatically and the Cost Center field is greyed out hence I don't have option to enter the Cost Center during MIRO. I checked the FSG of this GL, Cost Center field is 'Optional' over there.
Thanks,
Sandy

Solution Option* -You can assign Differant Cost Centers to Company Code 1000 and Company Code 2000 in OKB9 Transaction Code.Follow the below process....
--- Go to OKB9
--- Select New Entries button
--- Give the Company Code 1000 in first row and 2000 in 2nd row
--- Enter the Cost element 12345678 for company code 1000 and 2000
--- Enter the relevent cost centers for company code 1000 and 2000
--- Select Save
Thanks

Planning on WBS elements without cost elements

Hi all,
we are trying to implement the planning solution where users will be able to plan on individual WBS elements monthly but without providing a breakdown on cost elements. Standard SAP planning profiles allow to post plan values on WBS elements in annual view without cost elements. But when you want a monthly view the system you need to click on primary cost elements planning first.
Is there any way to plan monthly but at cost object (WBS) level only?
Many thanks,
Roman

Hi Eli,
thanks for your response. We will be using budget functionality for budget purposes but at the same time we will need to use planning on different versions. I believe there are no versions for budget.
One of the idea to minimize cost element planning is to introduce like a planning cost element to use with all planning postings and then include this into the same cost element group with the rest of cost elements for plan/actuals comparison reports.
If you have something in your mind I would appreciate your input.
Thank you,
Roman

Adding cost element to a particular hierarchy in RSH1 leads to shortdump.

Hi,
I'm facing some issue in production for TCode-RSH1.
Adding cost element to a particular hierarchy in RSH1 leads to shortdump. (Assign_Type_Illegal_Cast). This problem is causing for some hierarchies only.
Steps followed by us for adding cost element:-
1) RSH1-select hierarchy name.
2) In change mode, select a paticular node, click on cost element.
3) Select any of the cost element & click the green button (tick)
When we are following the above steps, it is leading to short dump and giving the following error message:-
Assign_Type_Illegal_Cast.
This issue is causing for some hierarchies & not for all.
Request to suggest the solution..
Regards,
SDN User.

Hi Venkat,
That particular hierarchy is not having multiple nodes. Only one node named Rate & efficiency. and the user needs to add cost element to that node. Now how come your ans match here in this case.
Now is that you are telling that one cost element which is selected is there for that node in some other hierarchy?But it is a different hierarchy , so if it is then it would be a problem?
Or else I have one more doubt....
Is that the user might be having some authorization problem for that particular hierarchy or the info object or cube where the hierarchy is? Because he is saying that he is having this problem for some few only not all hierarchies. So its understandable that RSH1 authorization to edit and create he has.
