I have doubt on cost center

Can you tell me what is the information this table will give CSKS .What is meant by cost center and what is the use of prctr field in this table .
Thanks,
Manohar

Hi,
CSKS is the table for Cost Center Master Data.
cost center: cost center collects the costs. It will try to control the costs with the help of responsible person. Cost centers are not meant for revenues.
Cost center is a real object.
If you give cost center at the time of posting, then real postings will go to cost center and statistical posting will go to profit center (which is assigned in cost center master)
If you give cost center and Internal Order (real), then real postings will go to internal order and statistical postings will go to cost center and profit center (which is assigned in internal order master). The cost center will become statistical or real based on the other real object given.
If you give cost center and internal order (statistical) then real postings will go to cost center and statistical postings will go to internal order (statistical) and profit center (which is assigned to cost center.

Can employees who are only Approvers have a Blank Cost Center?If Yes..please read

Can employees who are only Approvers have a Blank Cost Center?
If Yes, how do we populate the dummy value in T&E if it's not part of our Master Data Cost Center feed.

Hi Sunder,
The BAdI that needs to be implemented is OTM_EMPL_ORG_ASSIGNMENT, provided you use the new IDOC ODT_EMPL and report OTM_TRIGGER_EMPL_REPL_CE. (For the old IDOC there is a similar BAdI HROTM_EMPL_ORGANIZATION_FILTER.)
If you already implemented the BAdI in ERP to add the dummy cost center assignment to the employee you just need to create the dummy cost center in CfTE.
This can be done under
Master Data Replication -> Manual Replication -> Cost Centers
There you just can create a file and fill it manually directly within the transaction. Then it needs to be processes and afterwards you should go to the Import Monitor for Cost Centers and Click on button Replicate All. If you filled everything correctly after some minutes the dummy cost center should be created. You can control this under Display -> Cost Centers in the adminstrator cockpit.

Cost center planning for overhead calculation

Gurus,
I have a doubt regarding the cost center planning for overhead calculation.
My scenario is:
There is a service cost center from which a certain percentage I want to allocate to the products as overhead. Now while doing so I have created a cost center and a cost element of type 43 (internal activity allocation). This cost element is the base for overhead calculation. Also I have created one cost element of type 41 (overhead rates). I have defined the credit (of cost sheet) with the cost element of type 41 and the cost center as mentioned.
Now I am facing a problem while planning the cost center with cost element type 43 through KP06.The system is throwing the error message: 'Cost element xxxx can only be used for activity input'. My understanding is we must carry out the planning for the cost center to allocate a certain percentage to the product cost estimate. If I am not allowed to use the cost element of type 43 to plan, what should I use for the planning?
Request your suggestion.
Thanks in advance!
Snigdho.

Hi
Since you mentioned catg 43 cost element, I thought you are using Activuty Type
To apply overhead on the product during CK11N, you need not plan any value on the cost center... The values planned in the cost center can not be used as a BASE in your costing sheet....
It goes like this
1. Your cost estimate has BOM + Routing
2. So, the cost elements that you would see during CK11N, can be broadly classified into 3 types
a. Primary cost ele - Material Consumption accounts for BOM components
b. Secondary cost ele (Catg 43) - If you use any actvity type in the routing
c. Secondary cost ele (Catg 41) - These cost elements are parasites... They need some basis to calculate the overhead value... That basis can be either the (a) or (b) above.....
I think, what you are planning to do is Plan Primary cost ele in a cost center and trying to use the same as the Basis.. That wont work!
What you need to do is
a. PLan the values in the cost center, say, 100,000 USD
b. Absorb it on the basis of 2.a or 2.b
If 2.b is not applicable in your case, since you are not using activity types, then 2.a is the Only option left for you
Hope it is clear....

Cost center & cost element

Hi Experts,
Can anybody please tell me,
What is difference between cost center and cost element.
what is exact role of both.

Hi,
Cost Center
Definition
External object (object type K) from Controlling which represents a clear origin of costs.
If you implement the Controlling component, you can find more information in SAP Library under Cost Center (Financials u2192 Controlling u2192 Cost Center Accounting u2192 Master Data in Cost Center Accounting (CO-OM-CCA) u2192 Cost Center)
and
Cost Center Accounting (Financials u2192 Controlling u2192 Cost Element Accounting).
Use
By assigning cost centers to organizational objects, you determine where costs incurred by the object are to be charged. The inheritance principle applies: If an organizational object is not assigned a cost center, the cost center assigned to the superior object applies.
An organizational object may also be assigned more than one cost center. For more information, see Cost Distribution (infotype 1018).
Integration
A cost center can be related to the following organizational objects:
·        an organizational unit via relationship A 011 (Cost center assignment)
·        a position via relationship A 011 (Cost center assignment)
·        a work center via relationship A 011 (Cost center assignment)
Cost Elements
Definition
Cost elements classify an organizationu2019s valuated consumption of production factors within a controlling area. A cost element corresponds to a cost-relevant item in the chart of accounts.
Structure
We distinguish between primary cost and revenue elements and secondary cost elements.
Primary Cost/Revenue Elements
A primary cost or revenue element is a cost or revenue-relevant item in the chart of accounts, for which a corresponding general ledger (G/L) account exists in Financial Accounting (FI). You can only create the cost or revenue element if you have first defined it as a G/L account in the chart of accounts and created it as an account in Financial Accounting. The SAP System checks whether a corresponding account exists in Financial Accounting.
Examples of primary cost elements include:
· Material costs
· Personnel costs
· Energy costs
Secondary Cost Elements
Secondary cost elements can only be created and administrated in cost accounting (CO). They portray internal value flows, such as those found in internal activity allocation, overhead calculations and settlement transactions.
When you create a secondary cost element, the SAP System checks whether a corresponding account already exists in Financial Accounting. If one exists, you can not create the secondary cost element in cost accounting.
Examples of secondary cost elements include:
· Assessment cost elements
· Cost elements for Internal Activity Allocation
· Cost elements for Order Settlement
Integration
Cost elements in Controlling (CO) are closely related to the general ledger accounts used in Financial Accounting (FI). This is because the SAP System is structured as an Integrated Accounting System:
Cost elements document which costs (differentiated by category) are incurred within a settlement period, and in which amount. They provide information concerning the value flow and the value consumption within the organization. Cost Element Accounting and Cost Center Accounting/Internal Orders are closely linked in the SAP System. Each posting to an account that is also a cost element, is assigned either to a cost center or order. This ensures that at period-end the data is subdivided by cost elements and cost centers/internal orders for analysis purposes. The following section describes how you can subdivide and characterize cost elements in the SAP System.
Cost element characteristics depend on the controlling area and the allocation methods used in your organization.
Hope this helps clarifying your doubt about cost center & cost element.

BW Analysis authorization issue on cost center range

Hello BIW security experts
I have a problem where I created an analysis authorization on a cost center range and it looks like the interval is not working. The report is just a list of cost centers (demo to users to prove that analysis authorizations work in order to skip 2 managerial cost centers.
. Cost centers are numeric. Example: 2000100. In the drop down list they appear as such.
. I want to have the following cost center range: 1000000 to 1000771, 1000773 to 2000771, 2000773 to 9999999.
Thereofore 1000772 and 2000772 should not appear in the list.
. In the analysis authorization I have put the 3 ranges above on 3 separate lines. 'BT' is the operator. The cost centers have been selected from the drop down list.
Results: I get only 1 record from the report.... 2000772. (which is one I want to exclude..
Steps tried to debug:
. When I put a list of cost centers in the analysis authorization on separate line with the 'EQ' operator, then the report works.
. I tried putting ' ' delimiters since cost center is a char field but it fails.
. I tried adding leading and trailing zeros to fill up the char(10) but no luck.
. I tried creating a hierarchy with the interval and put it in the hierachy auth. tab and it does not work either. It gives the same number of records than the first step.
. A hierarchy with single values work.
I do not know what else to try..
Thanks.

Problem with Free of Charge Sale Returns against Cost Center

Dear All,
The problem is related to Free Sales which is as follows -
I have issued free of charge against Cost Center & now I want to know whether any process is there or configurations can be done to return the free of charge issued goods along with the cost center. As in the order in header level while doing return the cost center is not getting reflected.Again in the outbound delivery creation mode also at the item detail level under the "Financial Processing" tab the cost center field is present but it is greyed out/ inactive.
Please suggest what are the configurations needed to create returns of the Free Of Charge goods against Cost Center.
Looking forward to early replies.
Thanks & Regards
Priyanka Mitra

Hello Mr. Lakshmipathi,
First of all thanks for your help.As per your suggestion I have maintained the Cost Center against the Order Reason in OVF3 and it is getting reflected in the Sales Order but whenever I am keeping the field of Cost Center blank in OVF3 the "Cost Center " is remaining inactive & not even displayed in Sales Order.Instead the system is asking for WBS element.
Now I want to know is there any configuration possible so that the Cost Center field will be reflected in either Sales or Delivery Order as blank space & not greyed out which will be filled up manually.
Plesae suggest.
Thanks & Regards

Exchange rate difference KDM in MIRO - cost center used

We have recently testing to setup KDM Exchange rate difference posting in LIV and encounter the problem of cost center cannot be determine for PO with account assignment A (For asset) and P (for Project).
The question is how does the system determine the cost center for the exchange rate different account? It doesn't take the default cost center from the configuration in OKB9 but extract the cost center from PO Account Assignment - for Asset Account assignment, there is no cost center in PO and thus it is giving a error of 'Field Cost Ctr is a required field....'
Any help appreciated.

Dear Murali: Yes, GL account is maintained in OBYC for KDM transaction, I am following the OSS note 980402 for the setup (ECC6 system). The GL account say is 60000005. In OB09, we have maintained the entry for this account 60000005 to have a default cost center (e.g. 1000). This cost center does not get defaulted when MIRO posting is done with exchange rate difference. Instead, the cost center is obtained from the PO (e.g. the account assignment in PO have cost center 5000). But for certain account assignment (e.g. 'P' for WBS and 'A' for Asset), there is no cost center maintained in PO account assignment and thus in MIRO i get an error message as mentioned above.
Dear SAPFICO: check the asset master also, althrough there is a cost center in Asset Master, it does not get extracted into MIRO postings.

Transaction Code for Cost Center Report

Hi everyone,
using report painter I have created a cost center report which is a copy of a standard report. Now I would like to create a transaction code for this report which can be run from the menu.
Can anyone explain step-by-step how to do this? I have already tried creating a TC for GR55 but this seems not to be what I want. I want the TC to start the report directly.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
Martin

Hi,
Go to SE93 (create a new transaction), choose 'Transaction with parameters'. In the Transaction field put 'START_REPORT' and tick 'Skip Initial screen' flag. Tick all flags for GUI support and in the parameters section (below) type four parameters:
D_SREPOVARI-REPORTTYPE = RW
D_SREPOVARI-REPORT = (library of reports)
D_SREPOVARI-VARIANT
D_SREPOVARI-NOSELSCRN

QM PLant settings - Cost center

HI QM Gurus,
In the inspection lot completion tab for QM Plant settings in customization
we have two feilds
Cost Center - Scrap and Destruction
What is the significance of Cost center feilds in QM Plant settings?
What will happen if I do not use any of these feilds?
Are they only for reporting purpose?
I believe for each movement type we define one cost center.
What is the need to define a different cost center for QM.
Kindly give ur comments
Regards
JEEVAN

Hi Jeevan,
You can post quantities of material from an inspection lot to the following destinations:
1. To unrestricted-use stock
2. To scrap
3. To sample usage
4. To blocked stock
5. To new material
6. To sample reserves
7. Return delivery
In system, Each and every movement will be monitored.
If you are collecting costs on manufacturing orders, you can post the scrap costs to a cost center. You cannot settle scrap costs to a cost center if you are using a product cost collector.
**Process Flow**
The planned quantity of the order is 10 units. The yield is 8 pieces and the scrap quantity is 2 pieces.
You change the settlement rule so that 80% of the costs can be settled to the material stock account for that material. You then create a new distribution rule in which the remaining 20% of the costs is settled to a cost center.
The actual costs for the order are USD 2,800. When 8 pieces are delivered to stock, the system charges USD 2,000 to the order.
80% of the total cost is USD 2,240.
20% of the total cost is USD 560.
The order was already credited by USD 2,000 upon delivery. During settlement, the system then settled USD 240 to the material stock account of the material and USD 560 to the cost center.
Thanks,
Rgds...

Cost Center overlapping

Hi,
We have created one Cost Center AAA under production group. Before post the documents we have deleted AAA cost center. It is showing Red Mark symbol in OKEON(Cost Center Standard Heirarchy). After we have created AAA(same code deleted cost center) cost center under Research Group. When we save the cost center master data, it is showing under Production group and Research group in activation mode of OKEON(CCH). We have posted some documents to this cost center.
Now we want to create the new group under CCH. But the system showing the below error
Inserting of the object (Cost Center Group: HOLDINGS) is not possible
 Message no. OH021
Diagnosis
 Inserting object (Cost Center Group: HOLDINGS) is not possible. The
 object contains values/intervals that would lead to overlaps with
 already existing values/intervals.
Procedure
 If you still want to insert the object, you have to make sure that the
 join of sets of the values/intervals is unique. Before you insert,
 change object HOLDINGS or the object you are processing.

Holding CC group not created. When we open the OKEON in Extras option and select the Ambiguity check. The following message showing.
Values occuring more than once:
Overlapping area>Included in Group>Row>Description

D RANA
Edited by: Deepak Rana on Mar 7, 2009 1:02 PM

Hi,
Yes. As you are maintaining here value field also in PA Transfer structure, it will also impact your COPA reports, if in that report you are analysing the same.
Also one thing needs to clear that in COPA you are alos maintaining all your cost components with relevant value fields as a part of mapping for reflection of all relevant values, as this is the link between your value flow between CO - PC and COPA.
Also your relevant condition types from SD which you want to analyse in COPA also needs to be link with value fields as a part of analysing your COGS (In CO - PC, you can only get COGM).
Pls get back for further query.

UPLOADING COST CENTER GROUPS

Hi All.,
In my project, where my client have lots of cost center groups. To assign them to the standard hierarchy it is taking too much time through Manual Uploading/assignment
So, is there any other option for it. (Automatic Procedure)
Please, guide me.
Thanks to All.
Raja

Hi,
I don't think it is possible to attach Cost Center groups to Standard Hierarchy using BDC Program. When we attach the Cost Center Groups we have to select it individually. Probably, you can try by developing a BDC program.
