Hi Abhay
I think you can change it from next fiscal year.. Changes to Org elements in master data are ideally recommended to be done from the start of year
May be you can think of using new CC and replace the old ones

Search Help for Cost center

Hi All,
I have 2 questions
1) we dont have any default cost center maintained any where in the org-structure (PPOMA_BBP), howeverwhenever I go for shopping I can see a cost center along with GL account, ( I know GL acct is coming from "determine GL account for prod-cat" settings in IMG), but what about cost center where is it coming from ??
2) second, when we do search help for cost center's in shopping application, we are able to see all cost centers from the back end which I guess is good, but we can see even those cost centers which are blocked!!!, why is this happening ??,
Thanks.

Hello,
For First::
In general the CO Area (here: cost center) is derived from R/3 Backend Enterprise
Structure and should be re-determined if another acc. objects is
entered that belongs to a different CO Area. Please also check the
settings in R/3 Backend IMG, path:
->Enterprise Structure ->Assignment ->Controlling
->Assign company code to controlling area
The company code is assigned to the CO Area through the following
assignment:
->Materials Management
->Assign purchasing organization to company code
The CO Area is in general the organizational object in
highest (CO) level. Assignments to other MM/CO objects are located
in lower Enterprise hierarchy level. Hence, the CO Area does not
change if a different CO object of a lower level (here: cost center)
is assigned to a SRM document.
For Second::
The only possibility I see is to set the message to error message in
the customizing in the backend. The message number is KI 170. When you
look at the long text of this message in transaction SE91 in the
backend, you will find the description where to look in the customizing.
When you have set this message to ERROR, then no purchase order will be
created in the backend. Instead the shopping basket gets the status
'ERROR' and the administrator will recieve a work item in his inbox.
Then he can check the backend and either post the purchase orders again
after solving the problem, or he can delete the shopping baskets.
Please check the note for more infos or the documentation.
Setting the message KI 170 to error message will solve your problem.
See note 333136. I would think that if you create
a PO directly in the backend if you do not have the message configured
as and error you will be able to create the PO.
I hope this information helps.
Kind regards,
Gaurav

Input help for cost center & WBS element not working

Hi ALL
We are using SRM 4.0 with backend ECC 5.0.
Input help for attributes cost center (CNT), WBS element (PRO) are not functioning.
When tried to search for input help (F4) on the above attributes, I am getting message "Display not possible (Inconsistency in the input help)".
I even applied SAP note 746788 for cost center search help.
Can you tell me if I have missed any config settings?
Thanks in advance
Jagdish

Hi,
Did you managed the transactional RFC destination in the customizing (where you define all your log. systems it is an additional field in the table control).

F4 help for Cost Center in SRM 7.0

Hi,
My requirement is to display customized F4 help for the Cost Center(i.e. user specific search help maintained in Z table) field during the creation of the Shopping Cart.
I've created my own Search Help, and I'm looking for a BADI which will fit in my reuirement.
So far I've tried BADI 'BBP_DRIVER_DETREMINE ' for the same, but it's not getting called for providing F4 help.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Amit

Hello all,
This is to correct my posting on Nov 16, 2009 8:20 AM. I have done further research and testing and finally got the multiple GL working. I have to remove the authorisation for object BBP_FUNCT on activity BE_FE_HELP to disable the serach help function. This way, the user will see the allowed list of GLs instead of a search help.

Preventing Blocked Cost Center in SRM Search help

Hi All ,
We need to prevent the blocked cost centers in the search help in SRM .
I checked the BADI'S
BBPF4_READ_ON_ENTRY_
BBPF4_READ_ON_EXIT_ and method GET_COSTCENT. but both of these will not trigger when we give the cost center in search help and press start.
so is there any other BADI or Customer exit for this requriment.
Please help
Regards
Channappa

Hello,
These BADI can not be used for this kind of search help, as this is an R/3 search help and not an SRM search help.

Authorization on cost center !

hi,
i need help on Cost center Authorization.
I have crared 3 dso. 1 for Hierarchy nod, 2. single values and 3. user reporting. and the data is loaded in all 3.
after this i have generated Authorization in bW using RSSB_Generate_Authorization.
Now, i m in Tcode RSSM, over there i am creating Authorization object ZZZ_OPC.
Over here , i have to select Infoobjects for authorization.
i have choosen 0TCTAUTHH for hier, 0costcenter ( As i am doing authorization on this ), what else i have to choose ?
do i have to choose anything for Single value ? if yes then which info object ?
thankz

Hi,
The relevant authorisation objects are as follows:
K_CSKS_SET: This will allow display/change/creation of groups based on activity selected.
K_CCA: This is a general authorisation object (relevant activites should be 0003, 3027, 3029). You are obviously trying to run a report. For running a report the relevant authorisation object is K_REPO_CCA, which sadly does not have cost center group as a selection, only cost center values and ranges.
However, K_CCA will work, if the cost center group that you have entered in the authorisation is also present in the standard hierarchy. Can you test this, enter a cost center group from the standard hierarchy and not just any group that you have created seperately. The authorisation should get restricted to that group.
Cheers.

Cost Center & GL Account search not working.

Hello all,
I am having the following problem while creating a shopping cart, at the Cost Assignment (item level). When I click on the binoculars for searching CC or GL Accounts, i get the following message: "Display not possible (inconsistency in the input help)".
Now, I've researched and tried every possible suggestion:
1. Make sure the requester has permissions BBP_FUNCT/value: BE_F4_HELP, and S_RFC/value:* (SU01), among many others.
2. I have assigned to the requester the respective roles in the organizational structure.
3. Changed the RFC user (from SRM to R/3) from type "communications" to dialog. This user has SAP_ALL in the backend system.
I have run out of ideas of what might be the problem. I've searched through the forums and used all of the ideas mentioned above, but the problem is still there.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

Hi
Which SRM version are you using ?
Please refer to the following SAP OSS Notes.
<u>Note 656633 - Search help requires dialog users
Note 746788 - Back-end system search help for cost center
Note 673390 - Incorrect destination determined for search help
Note 550052 - EBP 4.0: Preparation for back-end input help in EBP</u>
Hope this will help. Do let me know.

Cost Center and G/L account search help not working

Hi Gurus,
I am facing a problem with the search help button for cost assignment in Shop screen.
When I press the search button for cost center, there is no new screen coming up asking me the search criteria to be given as input. Same is the problem when I search for G/L accounts.
I have defined the backend RFC user as dialog user and also defined the RFC(dialog) in the SRM system for the backend RFC.
My user id has authorization object M_BBP_SHLP in my profile.
What may be the reason for this issue?
Note: I am currently using SRM5.0 system with backend R/3 4.7 version. This SRM system is already connected to another backend system ECC6.0, and the search help is working fine for those users.
Pls. guide me on how to resolve this issue.
Regds,
Ancy

Hi Ancy,
Don't give wild search. Give some words following with * like "UK*" lists all the UK Cost centers. For the G/L accounts: G/L Accounts will get updated in the SC automatically depend upon the product category what you have selected.
Check the configuration Cross Application Basic settings->Account Assignment ->Define G/L Account for the product category.
If you have maintained the configuration for the paritcular G/L Account and Product cateogyr then when G/L Account is updated automatically in the SC (Depend upon this configuration)
Kind Regards

Search help results of cost center

Hi everybody
Cost center is normally assigned to SC item based on the attribute set in PPOMA_BBP (attribute CNT). Now, when you're in the item details screen and want to change that default cost center you can search for other ones using the "glasses icon". This starts some kind of a F4 search help screen and returns a list of all available cost centers existing in the backend system.
Our SRM users are NOT created in the backend system, therefore we're not able to control cost center authorizations via backend user authorizations.
So the problem we have is, that in the result screen we get by far too much cost centers from which the enduser can make his choice. We'd like to reduce this result list to only the cost centers assigned via CNT attribute on org. unit level in PPOMA_BBP.
I already looked at BAdIs BBP_F4_READ_ON_ENTRY and BBP_F4_READ_ON_EXIT (method GET_COSTCENT) and to verify if they could do what I wanted simply tried to delete all entries from table ET_COSTCENT_LIST and ET_COSTCENT_FAVOURITES... no changes, the result list still contains a complete overview of all our backend cost centers.
To all SRM gurus out there: how is it possible to restrict the result list of cost center search help?
Thanks again anyone for some help.
Kind regards,
Renaud

Hi Case,
We can get this functionality with out changing any standard program.
Herewith I am sending details.
1.     Implement the badi using definition BBP_DRIVER_DETERMINE and write below mentioned code in method DETERMINE_DRIVER.
        IF functionname = 'B470_SHLP_CALL' AND sy-tcode NE 'PPOMA_BBP'.
functionname = 'ZB470_SHLP_CALL'.
        ENDIF.
2.     Copy the standard FM B470_SHLP_CALL to ZB470_SHLP_CALL then make
       the changes in ZB470_SHLP_CALL.
       Here you have to make two changes.
a.     Clear the destination name (LV_DESTINATION) for calling search help
                        from SRM
b.     Give your own search help name (ZCOST_CENTER we need to create this search help in SRM )
       Now it will call the search help ZCOST_CENTER from SRM only
               Sample code
          CASE shlp_field.
        WHEN gc_g_l_acct.
      lv_shlpname = 'SAKO'.
       lv_shlpparam = 'SAKNR'.
        WHEN gc_cost_ctr.
      lv_shlpname = 'ZCOST_CENTER'.
      lv_shlpparam = 'KOSTL'.
      CLEAR lv_destination.
3.      Create you won search help (ZCOST_CENTER) in SRM and write code in search help exit for getting the cost centers from user attributes. For reading the cost centers from user attributed you can use the FM BBP_READ_ATTRIBUTES (pass the CNT as attribute ID)

Change of Business Area to Cost Center (my first thread , please help)

Hi Everybody i'm Charmaine Leena Martin freshly certified FICO consultant , this is my first thread i'm posting, please help me with the same.
A wrong business area has been assigned to a cost center and postings have taken place in the same.
while using t-code KS02: change cost center , for rectifying the business area , i get the following error:
"Field change business area is not possible (transaction data exists)"
so i've created a new cost center and assigned it the right business
and using t-code kb61 : i have posted the documents to the new cost center
at that time system generates a co-document automatically:
But the accounting document of which transfer postings have taken place still shows old business area and cost center
Please let me know why is it so ,
and what has to be done with the CO document that gets posted automatically
and is there any other way out of changing the business area without creation of new cost center
Moderator: Please, search before posting

Hi Leena
Welcome to SDN
Do KB11N to post the cost back to the Wrong cost center
Do an FI Posting again Dr the Correct new cost center and Cr the Old wrong cost center
This will match both FI and CO

Note : The availability check is not available with this cost centre budget ( i.e. if the actual amount exceeds than budgeted amount it allowes to do the further transaction.)
Report S_ALR_87013648 -
Range:Actual/Budget/Commitments
will give the information of budget and actual amount.
2. Also in trasaction code KP06 it is possible to define cost centre and cost element plan amount without availability check.

Expecting your valuable answers.
Thanks & Regards
