How to post depreciation to multiple cost centre?

Hi
In the asset master there is only one cost centre for each asset. This cost centre determines the cost centre to post to for depreciation expense. Is there a way to post to multiple cost centre?
Hope someone can advise.
Thank you.

Hi,
1) Substitution rules would help you.
2) Through distribution or assessment allocate the depreciation expenses to multiple cost centers.
Thanks,
Murali

Merging of cost centre, how to post to the single cost centre?

Hi:
I am a bit confused with the below line.Please help me with it.
If two cost centers are merged into one and one of the cost centers is deleted, then how do we make the posting to be made into the only cost centers even if the entry is made to the deleted cost centers?
My guess is we use substitutions.
But, I am confused that if we can have the pre-requisite and the replacement as the same field(in this case cost center)?
Regards
Krishna.

Hi,
write a substitution, and in pre requisite, write that if the Cost Centre is " old Cost centre" replace with "new Cost centre"
Yes, you can have Cost centre in both pre requisite and replacement.

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.

Statistical Internal Orders - How can i charge to multiple cost centers

In the master data for the statistical internal orders, I am only able to enter one cost center in the 'Actual Posted Cctr' field. Is there a way to have multiple cost centers and the allocation % for each cost center (similar to the settlement rules on regular internal orders)?
thanks!

Hiya,
OKB9 works by assigning multiple Cost Centres to the Company Code + GL combination. However, I don't believe OKB9 is your solution - for the simple reason that you wish to post the information to multiple CCtrs, along with posting it to this Statistical IO.
In my opinion, you may have to delete the Actual Cost Centre assignment and, at the time of document posting, assign the True CCtr as well as this IO, or look for a User Exit that will trigger flows to multiple CCtrs along with this IO.
The other option is to make this a real posting to this IO (change the IO from statistical to real), and then settle this cost to multiple CCtrs. As long as it stays statistical, you don't have the liberty of settling the cost.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

How to post depreciation to different depreciation areas

Hi,
Can any body explain how to post depreciation to different dep areas other than 01 book dep,
and how to take the reports according GAAP and IAS.
Regards,
prasad

Hi,
When you create depreciation areas like Book, Tax, Costing etc., the system posts values like APC and Depreciation simultaneously in all the areas. You don't need to do any thing.
Just posting values through F-90, F-92, etc and for Depreciation AFABN.
This above holds good as long as you are posting to a single ledger.
The above answer is slightly different in case you are having parallel ledgers. Let me explain by taking an example.
Lets assume you are implementing for an Indian client whose parent compnay is in Dutch.
As per Indian GAAP you need to submit the local reporting on April to March basis and for Ducth Jan - Dec.
Assets in Indian GAAP are capitalised with values including frieght, Installation and trial run till Commencement date lets say @ 20%
Assets in Ducth GAAP are capitalised with only Cost, Frieght & Insurance (This is only an example) and the depreciation rate is 15%.
In this scenario you will be creating two ledgers(IN SAP sense and not the accounting GLs) with different fiscal year variants and will be defining Leding ledger and Non leading ledgers and Ledger Groups.
IN this case lets assueme Indian GAAP is Leading ledger and Dutch GAAP is Non Leading ledger and a ledger Group lets say "LG"
When you post using the transation code FB01L you will be using ledgers or ledger groups that are effecting with this transaction.
If you use the regular T codes without using the Ledger Groups, System posts the transaction to all ledgers simultaneously.
When You want to post the transaction as I said in the above example, you will be using FB01L like capitalising total cost in "LeadingLedger" and upto CIF value to "Non leading ledger"
NOw from the configuration front you will be creating seperate set of Depreciation keys for each GAAP and will be creating a depereciation area for Dutch GAAP.
You will also need to create a derived depreciation area which is the difference of Book Dep Area (as per Leading Ledger) and teh Duthc GAAP depreciation area (Non leading ledger). You can use the Wizard here which will guide you.
For Book depreciation are its always realtime posting and for other areas its periodic posting. i.e. as a monthend process you need to do,
For this you need to run TCODE ASKBN (Periodical posting ) anad AFABN.
ASKBN checks for the difference in APCs, Depreciations, Loss or gain on account of retirements differently for diffrent depreciation areas and posts the values.
When it comes to reporting all Standard reports will give you the flexibility of taking the reports based on Depreciation areas.
You have a TCODE "OARP" where in you will get all the asset related transaction reports.
The above scenerio is explained with an assumption of you using SAP Version above 4.7EE.
Reward if you find this explanation useful.

Depreciation Planning on Cost Centre

Hi All,
We want to post planned depreciation figures to cost centres. When I am using T Code S_ALR_87099918 to do the same , I am getting the error message "AB029 - " Message no. AB029
Diagnosis
You need special cost element accounts for primary cost planning for depreciation/interest, since it involves simulating the values of future depreciation posting runs.
However, there are no cost element accounts specified for depreciation/interest in chart of accounts EICL, account group ITAX, depreciation area 01.
We have already created all Depreciation expense accounts as cost elements.
Please advice on the same.
Thanks
Gaurav Jain

Check if you have interest posting activated for the depreciation area. If so it is looking for the interest account.
If you are not using interest calculation deactivate it in the dep area.

How to find out Plant wise Cost centre/ Profit Centre

Hi Guru
My problem is How to find out plant wise cost centre. To be more clear------ I want to know what cost centre is valid for a particular plant
My mail Id. [email protected]

Hi,
Then this explains the problem.
The message number starts with a Z and so it is not a standard SAP message because SAP does not link cost centres or GLs to Plants
But also, the message doesn't indicate a problem with the link? it is stating that you should check that the GL account and the PROFIT CENTRE are valid for the posting for the period???.
It looks like someone has written a custom modification in your system and so we are , unfortunately, unable to help because the data would be in custom tables and not standard SAP tables.
You can only solve this problem by speaking to someone within your own company who knows the mdofication that has been done.
Sorry

OM - Multiple Cost Centres link with Org Unit/Position not to employee

Hello gurus,
In OM there can only be one relationship at a time between an organizational unit and cost centre (A011). For those areas where there is a requirement for the position to have control over more than one cost centre, there are multiple options.
Option 1 - If only one of the cost centres is used for employee cost incurrence, this should be the main cost centre, and the others controlled through authorizations.
Option 2 - If more than one cost centre is used for employee cost incurrence, a subordinate organizational unit is created into which those positions are placed. In this scenario, the subordinate organizational units would not have a chief, and the reporting structure would go up to the more senior organizational units.
Option 3 - Use Cost centre distribution infotype 1018 (A014)
My question: is there a standard way through which we can show multiple cost centres attached to a position/org unit such that cost incurred by employees goes to master cost centre attached to org unit or positon and other cost centres are just attached to position/orgunit (just to show the org unit/position is managing these other cost centres as well).
Any thoughts? Anybody has used Enterprise Organization in CO to achieve this?
Regards,
Ahmad

To capture more than 1 cost center, you have to specify them in IT-1018 but employee's cost will be split based on this.
For data maintanance alone cost distribution is not possible (based on my knowledge).
May be equivalent custom infotype similar to 1018 @ Postiion / Org Unit level may work.
along with Master Cost center.

Multiple Cost centres to single position

Hi,
Is it possible to add multiple costcentres to same position. I tried using tcode PFOS and added the costcenters to the position but when I view the same from tcode PPOME the other costcenters are not visible. Please let me know how we can make it visible in org. structure.
Best Regards
MS

>Use relation A 014 (cost center distribution) between a postition with several cost centers
Create a record for infotype 1018 if you wish to distribute costs to more than one cost center .Enter which portion of the costs you would like to distribute to which cost center. If the object is already assigned a master cost center, the left-over share will be written to this cost center.
