How are non-cost center Controlling objects best modeled in PCM?

I appreciate that ALG developed Profitability and Cost Management, and they apparently were unaware of
or did not consider that SAP ERP uses more than a single controlling object of a cost center; specifically
internal order, WBS element, real estate object, etc.
My question is how are these other controlling objects best treated in PCM?
For example,
I have a planned trade show internal order to showcase my companies products
in Berlin to European retailers.  I have planned travel costs, display costs,
space rental costs on this internal order.
Normally, I would settle this internal order to CO-PA to determine the planned
profitability of my Europen retail customers.  Unless I make this order a faux cost center,
I don't see how to model it in PCM.
If I exclude this order, then the profitability resulting in PCM is suspect --
leaving out a major chunk of customer specific marketing expense.
Or is the process to settle the planned internal order cost to CO-PA, but
transfer the planned costs from PCM back into CO-PA, which would have the
benefit of being mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive.
Jeff Holdeman hinted at the restrictions imposed by planning in ECC.  Yet
without a more comprehensive approach, I am concerned that PCM still
does not represent a complete profitability planning solution.

Hi Deepak.
You can verify is the cost center was posted on document running tcode SE16N on the FALGFLEXA table, put the document number to do research.
After you can trying to post the new document through Tcode FB50L choosing or not a legder specific, then verify the document was posted correctly running the Tcodes SKb1 or Se16N with FAGLFLEXA table again.
Also you can check this link Checking the Allocation of General Ledgers to Cost Centres

  • 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 display cost center decription

    Hi
    I'm working with EBP. I want to display in the template SAPLBBP_SC_UI_ITS_120 the cost center description. I found that this field is KTEXT in the table CSKT in R3 system. I also found in EBP a structure called CSKS_HR with the field SHORTNAME. Well, i don't know how i can get this descripion field..
    Thank you for your help.

    i dont know about EBP. but i can help you with RFC and how to call R/3
    for example the BAPI (in R/3)
    BAPI_COSTCENTER_GETDETAIL
    gives details about a cost center inclusing the text.
    to call it from EBP you have to first define RFC destination in transaction sm59 (talk to your BASIS team they will do it for you).
    now to call this BAPI from a abap program in EBP
    dest = <RFC destination name>
    CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_COSTCENTER_GETDETAIL' DESTINATION dest
    EXPORTING
    CONTROLLINGAREA = <controlling area>
    COSTCENTER = <cost center number>
    date = sy-datum
    IMPORTING
    NAME = <NAME>
    DESCRIPTION = <DESCRIPTION>
    PERSON_IN_CHARGE = <PERSON INCHARGE>
    ADDRESS = <ADDRESS>
    COMMUNICATION = <CO,MMMU>
    RETURN = <RETURN> .

  • Functional areas vs. cost center groups for cost of goods sales

    What are the benefits of using functional areas over cost center groups when building your p&l for cost absorbtion or visa versa?  Which of the two is recommended?

    Hi,
    1: a P&L statement does not only contain cost-center related postings, you can have different CO-objects (Internal order, WBS-Element,...)but all of them contain the functional area in its master record.
    The P&L reporting structure (created via report painter) can use account groups but restricted to one functional area for porper P&L structure creation.

  • How to get cost center ranges for a given company and division...

    Hello Experts,
    Is there a table, BAPI or FM that can get the company or division of a given cost center?
    Currently I am creating cost center ranges in my program but that is not the best way to do it
    since they can always add or delete cost centers. Just like in transaction OKEON wherein you
    can see the cost center ranges for a given company or division.
    Hope you can help me guys. Thank you and take care!

    Hi Viray,
    You can try BAPI 'BAPI_COSTCENTER_GETDETAIL1'.
    You need to pass controlling area and cost center detail to this BAPI.
    It will return the cost center detail in return.
    Hope this helps you.
    Thanks,

  • Field Business Area in cost center cannot be changed

    Hello all,
    we would like to change the "Business Area FS" (OB65) field for our
    company code to required. But if we do that, we have issues with 2 of
    our cost centers (ks02, analysis period 01/01/10-12/31/10) that won't
    allow us to enter a business area.
    We get the following error message:
    NA KS134 Field change Business Area is not possible.
    Diagnosis: To ensure of existing data, you can only change object
    Business Area if no transaction data exists in the change period; that
    is, neither plan data nor actual data has been posted.
    I have checked with our accounting and the cost center report does not
    have any data in actual nor budget.
    Somehow I figured out that we do have an entry in table CEKO for this
    cost center for 2010. (se16n). I did some further research and tried to
    test report RKPLNC18 to delete this entry. But I get the message:
    the deletion could not be carried out. The following plan/actual
    records are available...
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Anne

    Hi
    You can change the business area in cost center by changing the Analysis period. If there's any data exsist it is not allow you to change the business area. If else block or eleate the cost center and create a new one ( even though this might not permitted if  data exsist in related to cost center.

  • What is the impact of business area and cost center in the sales document

    can any one reply plz....
    Thanking you

    Hi,
    Business Area determines where the revenue should be allocated when you sell a material or a service.
    For eg: If your customer is in say Mumbai and he is ordering for a service in Delhi (say DIAL - Delhi International Airport Limited) then based on the terminology.
    Your customer would belong to B Basis Business Area - WHERE THE REVENUE IS COMING FROM or WHERE YOUR CUSTOMER BELONGS TO (SALES OFFICE).
    Whereas your DIAL sales will belong to A Basis Business Area - WHERE THE REVENUE IS GOING TO.
    Cost Center would determine where your allocate your cost to.
    Say Rounding Off can be used as a cost element, because some sort of revenue is lost when figures are roudned off..
    Hope it clarifies your doubt.
    Reward points if satisfactory
    Regards

    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

  • Hide Controlling Area from Cost center in report

    Hi Experts,
    I have Costcenter as reporting field in BW report. Controlling Area is compunding char for Cost center.
    In the report, it shows both values (cost center and controlling area) when i use cost center in query. foreg. KO01/C123456 as key.
    (KO01 is controlling area and C123456 is Cost center)
    Is there any way to ONLY display Costcenter value in report??
    Thanks in advance.
    -Abhijit

    You can add controlling area IO in the line and hide it (in properties set never display) or you can also insert it in filter with fix value KO01.
    Hope it helps.
