Hi,
For blocking the cost element you have two options
1 )if earlier posting are not made to that particular cost center or no records exist then you can diredtly delte the cost element.
2 )If posting is already made then goto KA02 in analysis period change the analysis period.

Creation of Primary Cost Elements at FI area

Masters/Experts,
When i am trying to creat PCEs at FI area using Tcode-FS00, i am not getting a new screen after punching the EDIT COST ELEMENT pushbutton, infact i am getting the message "EDIT COST ELEMENT IS ONLY POSSIBLE FOR PL ACCOUNTS".
I can see the Radio button is on the P&L account statement and not on the balance sheet radio button.
Points will be awarded for the expertise.
Thanks,
Maria

Hi maria,
While creating or changing the G/L a/c by FS00, click the P/L acct radio button.Also mention the P/L acct statement type.If it is to be maintained in Retained Earnings, u can check 'X' (usually).after the account is created u can go by "edit cost Element" or by TCode KA01 and create the Primary Cost Element.
Please let me know if u r still facing the problems.
Please reward points if you find this to be useful.

Settle internal order to primary cost element

Hi all,
We use internal orders to collect costs for cars. We differentiate between fuel and maintenance costs. Both cost elements are set up being primary cost elements.When settling the internal order costs are settled using a secondary cost element. What do I need to change and where do I have to change this to have the cost settled against the original, primary cost elements (fuel/maintenance)?
Any help is appreciated.
Best regards, Paul

Hi,
Check the setting
Controlling ->Internal Orders ->Actual Postings->Settlement->Maintain Allocation Structures.
& also check the settlement profile.

Settlement of internal activity cost to primary cost element.

Hi Gurus,
My client has a urgent requirement to settle the internal activity cost captured through Warranty order to a primary cost element (FI), also need an offsetting entry to another primary cost element against the first one.
Note: The value should flow to COPA also.
Please suggest the way through which it can be achieved.
Best Regards,
Ramakanta

When you do settlement of the order, you can post to FI all the balance of the order.
Just configure int he peroid end closing tab of the order the settlement cost element (P&L) and the g/l account (BS- offsetting)
For sure you can do this on a internal order, i don't know about warranty order (but shall be the same). Otherwise you can first settle to an internal order and then to the desired GL account.

Paolo

Deriving cost center from primary cost elements

Hello CO Experts,
For few types of cost, we want to derive a cost centre when we enter a particular GL account in financial posting.
Does anyone know if there is a way to link a primary cost element to more than one cost centre?
The CE master data has only one cost centre field in the default acc assignment tab.
I have two possibilities:
- enhance the master data by additional fields eg. cost center group
- is there some sort of derivation for primary cost element / cost centre?
NOTE: We are not using activity types and are talking only of primary cost elements.
Thanks in advance
Best regards, Deb

Hi,
you could realize it via a substitution OKC9.

Primary Cost Elements

Hi,
Pls tell me whether we can create Primary Cost Elements for all P&L related GL codes or there is some restrictions?
Regards,
Vikas

Hi Viki
Please note the below mentioned important points. Although your query is answered in the thread, would like to ensure you do these checks to keep clean cost accounting records
You should not create cost elements for all P&L items. Please note not to create cost elements for following GL accounts
1) Cost of goods sold
2) Variance accounts with PRD, PRF - this results in double accounting in cost accounting books
3) If u hv sales order costing related scenarios then u can create COGS account with account assignment. Depends on your scenario
4) All other accounts u can create cost elements as per the business requirements.
But ensure u do not create COGS as cost element. If you create COGS as cost element system asks for accnt assignment object every time and to eliminate this a cost center is assigned in OKB9 for COGS cost element, which is not correct.
Please check this, very imp to hv clean cost accounting records
Assing points if the above clarifications are helpful

Income GLs as Primary cost elements (Cat 1)

Hi,
At my clients place, some of Income GLs are created as Primary Cost elements with Cat 1 and they are exempted from budgetary control. I would like to know what would be the reason behind this.., pls. note Profitability Segment is not active.
Regards,
Khan

I assume you want to know why they are 1's, and not why they are exempt from budgetary controls?
I also assume that these postings go to cost centres?
And I further assume that you were wondering why they were not created as 11's?
And that is then also the answer - they were created as 1's so that they can post to cost centres. GL accounts are created as 11's or 12's when the postings need to happen from a sales order. In that case the postings can only go to revenue enabled cost objects, e.g. Internal Order or WBS made billing relevant, or to a Profitability Segment in Profitability Analysis.

Creation primary cost elements

Primary cost elements can be generated in batch for creation, but then it seems to me it's all of them or nothing.
Is this also possible for 1 year for instance or for a limited number of cost elements, via another transaction for instance. MASS create?

Hi Walter,
First of all you have to select automatic creation of cost elements for your chart of account in OB13.
Next in OKB2, you have to specify the cost element category for the range or single cost elemets.
Next create batch input session in OKB3, here you can give from and to valid date.
You have to execute the created batch input session in SM35.

How do I migrate Cost Element Groups in a batch ?

I want to migrate Cost Element Groups from 4.7 to ECC6. We've been exporting/importing them individually, but is there a faster way to grab multiple groups and move them to the new environment ?
One thing of note is that the Chart of Accounts is changing between 4.7 and ECC6 and named differently.
