KEFC Transactions / Cost Objects
I changed the inbound structure to include two more cost objetcs. However, when I execute KEFC, the new objects are there on the output, but the values are blank.
Is there something else I need to do to pull in the two new cost values besides add them to the input structure?
Thank-You.
Resolved issue.

Cost object Controlling - Transaction KKBC_HOE
Hello CO experts
Can anyone let me know or provide me the documentation for CO summarization report.
I defined hierarchy in the customization (SPRO) but it seems that it is not complete in all respects.
I always get "Hierarchy does not exist".
Thanks and Regards
SubbuHello Jayaraman,
It seems that you are just missing the data collection step ( summarisation step), which is a prerequisite, before executing the summarised analysis report KKBC_HOE.
Till the time , data is not collected in the defined hierarchy, we keep on getting the message as " Summarized object does not exist :"
The steps are
1. Define / Create summarisation hierarchy - KKR0 - I believe, you have already done this step.
2. Data Collection for the above summarisation - KKRC - for required hierarchy / subhierarchy / period - ( Menu path - Controlling - Product Cost Controlling - Cost Object Controlling - Product Cost by Period - Information System - Tools - Data Collection - KKRC - For Summarization Hierarchy )
Request to test this for a specific material / period / order type initially , to avoid long run times, and once satisfied / successful, collect the full data by executing the job in background.
3. Execute report KKBC_HOE
Hope this helps.
Please do not forget to award full points, if satisfied and successful.
Cheers

Error while doing MR11 as enter Profitability segmet as Cost object
Hi All,
While doing MR11, we noticed a error message (ZC - 001) as "Enter Profitability segment as Cost object for Revenue and COGS posting".
The specified Material account is created as Cost element (CE Category 11) and in OKB9 configuration this cost element is choosed (ticked) with the option "profitability segment". Also there is no substitution rule to derive profitability segment in OBBH substitutions.
However there is a validation (GGB0), where the above specified Material account is included in the range of accounts in the Prerequisite, and Check as "Profitability segment is > (greater than) 0000000001 and with the message maintained as "Enter Profitability segment as Cost object for Revenue and COGS posting".
Can any please help why this error has come at the earliest.
Thanks & Regards
KarunHi Eli,
Thank you very much for reply.
I hope the note 184987 is not applicable in our case as the Field status of specified Material account does not have required entry for Profitability segment.
Can you please let me know if we have entry in OKB9 and existance of entry in Validation creates the problem and throws the above error message?
With regard to other note 134484 which you have specified on "error in Account assignment check in MM transactions" says "A detailed default account assignment (for example profitability segment) was defined in Transaction OKB9. However, the profitability segment is not set up correctly for goods movements: the characteristics material, plant, business area are missing. A later check of the profitability segments against material, plant and business area then generates an error message since the profitability segment is inconsistent".
Is there any way to confirm whether this situation is leading to our error before implementing this note.
Thanks & Regards

Cost of Goods Sold - Cost Element asking Cost Object
Dear All,
We have defined a G/L account :500000 (Cost of Goods Sold - Field Status Group:G030).
Normally we should not create it as a cost element,but when CRM consultant does a transaction ,system asks that GL account :500000 not created as a cost element,Hence that time I have created as a cost element.
Now every time ,system is asking for cost object for this cost element.
As you all know that ,we can maintain in OKB9,but in our scenario,we have more than 3500 Cost Centers,which is not possible.
Can anybody share as how to resolve this issue?
Regards
SubbuThanks Mr Ajay for understanding my question.
As I told mentioned in my initial question that I have created the GL:500000 (COGS) when CRM/SD issues the stock for delivery.
What my FI done is that the same GL (500000) is assigned both in GBB-VAX and GBB-VAY as per the client requirement.
Now suggest me as how to come out from this situation?
If I need to do Validation ,request you to give your guidance as how to do it as I never done.
Thnaks in advance.

Error in Distribution of Actual cost in Cost Object Hierarchy
Hi,
I am getting an error while doing the Distribution of Actual cost from Cost Object Node to the assigned Order.
Cost element/origin 630000 could not be distributed
Message no. KZ468
Diagnosis
The cost element/ origin 630000 could not be distributed because there are no target costs for this cost element/origin or for cost element group CO-PC-TOT.
Procedure
Check the calculated target costs and cost element group CO-PC-TOT assigned to the target cost version.
Procedure for System Administration
Proceed
Although the Cost element is Present in cost element group CO-PC-TOT.
One more information, the order that is assigned in Cost Object Hierarchy is of CO-Product orders.
I have searched in the forum but I havent got any solution.
Kindly help.
regards
KamiHi,
Concerning error message KZ 468, it has the following origin: In the customizing of the cost object category (transaction okz5), check if the 'single object selection' is set to 'Control through variance key'. If you consider the F1-Help for this option you will find the following explanation:
if the indicator Control through variance key is turned on, the production order, process order, or product cost collector can only be assigned to the cost object hierarchy if:
-> The material is assigned to the lowest node of the hierarchy
-> No variance key is specified in the order
The important point is, that orders that have a variance key are excluded from the cost distribution.
In transaction KKF8 you will find that all these orders do indeed have a variance key. Hence, all of these orders are included, there are no target costs from the orders and the costs cannot be distributed. Thus the error message kz 468.
Please consider that and check the customizing again.
Not having target costs in the distribution indicates either a wrong set up of the hierarchy or, more likely, no valid cost estimate for a certain material of a production order or product cost collector could be found.
Did you check whether for this cost element/origin target costs exist, and also for the cost element group? If not the message KZ468 is correct and probably the cost element group has to be maintained properly.
The distribution of actual costs calculates target costs on-the-fly and the variance calculation does not have to be carried out before. Quite the opposite than the variance calculation requires the distribution as a preceding step. Furthermore it is not sufficient that one cost element is in a cost element group but the interval where the cost element has been assigned to has to have some target costs. Otherwise this won't work and message KZ468 is issued.

Long running FI close jobs as a result of FI settlement to 3 cost objects
We are trying to gain some insight as to how we can deal with the large volume of data that is generated with PennDOTu2019s reclassification of costs in SAP (plant maintenance) and any impact this may have on system performance. Specifically, PennDOTu2019s current process requires settlement to 3 cost objects; the SAP standard is settlement to 2 cost objects. There are approximately 60 million line item transactions created each year by this process.
More details:
IES u2013 PennDOT Settlement Process 06/24/10
Business Requirement u2013 settle to three cost objects
1) Run SAP settlement program u2013 only settles to 2 cost objects
u2022 Three line items in COEP per G/L posting
2) Process to settle to the third cost object
a. Reverse cost object. This generates a CO line item.
b. Repost to the third cost objects. This generates a CO line item.
u2022 Six line items in COEP per G/L posting
3) Assumption: CO line items are a means to post to the third cost item (Cost Center). Only used for internal management reporting.. Not needed for any other processing or federal audit requirements.
a. These CO line items can be uniquely identified for archiving.
a. These CO line items can be uniquely identified for archiving. by BA, BT and text fields
4) The long running monthly and annual close jobs are due to the number of CO line items that are in the system. Estimated at 16 to 20 million line items per year.

Data collection for cost object hierarchy - no data at order level!
Hi everyone,
When using transaction KKP6 to see my hierarchy for cost object, the system displays all the values that are allocated on my hierarchy nodes, but I do not have the values that should come from the production orders (repetitive manufacturing with production version).
I use transaction KKRZ to collect data for cost object hierarchy, but it seems that the system does not retrieve any information from the orders.
Would someone know about this point customizing steps to follow to retrieve my orders values?
Thanks in advance for your answer. Rewards guaranteed!
RonanHi Amadeus,
To do so, I have used transaction OKZ5 in the customizing and ticked "always cost object hierarchy" and "distribution".
By doing so, you enable the system to distribute costs within a cost hierarchy. Otherwise the system will only determine costs on the hierarchy.
Try this, it may work for you as well. During your period-end closing, you sould now use "cost object hierarchy" instead of product cost collector.

Account Assignment - Derivation of Cost Object
Hi All,
On doing payment through transaction F-58, automatic line item of exchange rate gain n loss (P&L Account) is added automaticallly due to configuration done in FBKP -> Excng Rate Difference. The problem is, is there a possibilty to derive cost object which is used in Invoice of which the payment is being processed.
Regards,
NayabThanks Eli for your reply.
Yes, I found the same i.e. the best practice is to assign CO through OKC9 on particular G/L Accounts. The issue is reports in Joint Venture Accounting "GJRG_5J1B" that shows all cost on particular job (cost center, wbs, network etc.) doesn't potray the right result after settlement of network. For instance
Invoice is booked and cost element is charged on Network
CJI3 show all amount
GJRG_5J1B show all related amount.
When payment is processed and in automatic RXD line item, constant Cost Center of Other Income is provided
CJI3 doesn't show RXD amount
GJRG_5J1B show RXD amount
On settling Network, i.e. Roll up its cost to WBS level following happens
CJI3 is settled, gross amount is 0.
GJRG_5J1B show 0 as well other than RXD amount which still needs to be settled.
The solution we found is to charge automatic line item to particular cost object so it will get settled while rolling up network amount to WBS
The other solution is to settle such cost at period end but to do such activity I'm in search of standard way.
Thank you again for your response. -
The performance of Distribution of Cost Object Hierarchy Costs.
Dear SAP Gurus.
I am checking the function and the performance about Cost Object Hierarchies distribution with Control Through Variance Key.
The number of production orders assigned to COH is about 100,000 per month.
All orders will be closed at current month and new 100,000 production order will be assigned to COH at next month.
My concern is about performance of Distribution of Cost Object Hierarchy Costs
because a huge number of orders will be accumulatedly assigned to the Cost Object Hierarchies.
I think that the COH will be distributed with not bad performance.
(Actually I want that to be OK.)
What's your opinion about that?
Sincerely.
Mahnkwi.Hi Mahnkwi,
Sender-/receiver-relations should definitely be below 1:1000 or even below 1:500. This depends on other factors like general size of the hierarchy and data to be processed as well. This hierarchy needs to be restructured. In case you do this the
distribution needs to be reversed first.
Below are some other hints on performance in KKPX
- Parallel processing should be used.(note [386508|https://css.wdf.sap.corp/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=0000386508])
- Switch off detail lists since the consume lots of memory.
- Old orders should be archived.
Note [77718|https://css.wdf.sap.corp/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=0000077718] also explains tips to avoid the memory error for transaction KKPX or KKPY. As note explains, you should consider
whether a distribution of the cost elements according to their origin is required; if not, the corresponding indicator should not be set in the costing view of the materials.
If many error message is issued in the error log, this may have bad effect on the memory of your server. In this case, you should make these error message "not to be displayed" by message control in IMG.

Sale of Material - Assignment to Cost Object Error
Dear Forum,
The users while trying to do the PGI, encountered the error - "Account xxxxx requires an assigment to Cost Objet". However, when we check the Material Master, for doing the OKB9 maintenance, we get the message 'Costing View' not maintained for thie material. How could be the reason and how can we address this issue.
Another issue is that the posting is going to the wrong GL Account, which is mentioned in the aforesaid error message. How can we check the MM Account Determination to verify the correctness of the GL Account for posting of the Cost of Sales at the time of PGI.
Thanks for the help.
RegardsHi,
Use transaction code: KA02: enter G/L account xxxxx(Cost element) and in default acct assinmt TAB,assign the Cost Center and save.
Now try ur transaction.
OR
Check the field status of the account in FS00. If this account requires CO object as mandatory then check whether a cost element is created or not , this error normally occurs when CO object is mandatory but relevant cost element is not created.
Example: CO object may be cost center, cost element, WBS element
OR
Use t.code OKB9 and assign G/L account to cost object with ur company code and save.
For more check the link

For 2nd issue
Check VAY in OBYC under GBB

Trx KKPHIE: assigning single objects to cost objects hierarchy through BDC
Is there a way to assign single object to cost object hierarchy.
The ALV TREE button "Assignmnet single objs on/off" does not seem to trigger an OKCODE since it is managed in the abap object (class).
Is there is way to make a BDC. Or other ways to enter that data in BG, like a BAPI.
- Tried the BDC recorder without success
- Did not find a BAPI
- Did not find anything interesting in SWO1 business object BUS2076.
Any clue ?Ok, we found the solution. Simply use the old transaction "KKP2" instead of "KKPHIE"

Mass Material Assignment to Cost Object Hierarchy
Hi,
I have to assign the materials to Cost Object Hierarchy. I know that it is done thorugh TC- KKPHIE.
But if I have to assign more than 1000 materials at a time , I cannot do that in mass.
I tried to do it thorugh LSMW. The system is not allowing it to create LSMW.
I am stuck. Please let me know is there any other method of material assignment in mass.
Or any other transaction code.
Hoping to hearHi Ravi,
I have tried using LSMW and BDC. Its not working.
Is there any other transcation of material Assignment to Cost Object Hierarchy.

Difference between COPC planning and cost object controlling
I want to know why do we have to calculate the cost of a manufactured product by both COPC planning and Cost object controlling by order?
Will the cost of a manufactured product be different in COPC planning method and cost object controlling method?
if we use only cost object controlling to calculaute the cost of a manufactured product without using COPC planning wht will be the implications?Raja,
Yes the cost can be different. The cost calculating thorught Product Cost Planning may be static, you calculate it by period it is more for planning prupose ans to set standard. The cost calculated through Cost Object Controlling is resulting from your actual transactions, and the are few variables that could increase or decrease the cost of product. For example the overhead cost (Increase of salaries) can directly affect your activity rate at the work center and impact cost of your product when the production order is complete. You need both costs (Cost Planning and Cost Object releated) so at the end of the period you can calculate variance betweeen your plan cost and your actual costs.
Hope this clarifies your doubts.

Actual cost distribution in cost object hierarchies
Hi all,
I cannot distribute the actual costs collected on a cost object hierarchy since the costs are retrieved from an assessment cycle with a cost element with category 42 (assessment).
I would like to assign my production cost centers balances to cost object hierarchy and then distribute it with transaction KKPX - Distribution of cost object hierarchy costs.
Would someone have any idea how I could proceed?
Thanks in advance.

No Cost Object appears in FB03
In Transaction FB03 CO Account Assignments are not displayed but were entered in original document (good receipt) , cost object information not in BSEG table.
In report for Cost center the dollar amount appears.
Checked OSS for transaction FB03 and BSEG table.Clarification on the problem:
While most postings in this Purchase order or other GR or IR in the same GL account have a Cost Center in the BSEG table, we have a couple of GR that did not make an entry in the BSEG table while it still did an entry in the cost center posting. There are no summarization and the account is a P&L account.
The impact is mostly on reports that the business uses and the fact the system does not seems to be consistent. It remove confidence in reports.
