Leading Zeros in Cost Center Account Creation

Hi All,
I am creating new cost centers using KS01. The problem I have is that the numbering system that my client requires have leading zeros for some of the cost centers, e.g. 00702. However, the system is not taking the leading zeros and creating them as 702 using my earlier example. Is there any way I can force the system to accept the leading zeros. Thank you for your responses.
Regards,
Yomi

Hi,
I do not think it is feasible... have a read on this OSS note :
Note 106971 - FAQ: Automatic Leading Zeroes for Numeric Fields
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

  • Leading zero in G/L account

    Hello together,
    OSS 10714 describes, that it is not possible to create or to use accounts with leading zeroes and in standard SAP it will never be possible. But if you need to have it, SAP can make it possible.
    In my case it has to be done. It's a mustn or rather we are discussing about it. There are voices who are adamant that it works and other who say no. How ever if it has to be - then SAP will have to do the modification.
    So can somebody tell me how many man days approximately it will cost to let SAP do this modification?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    the requirement is to be able to create them with leading zeroes, to display them with the exact number of leading zeros and of course to print them with the exact number of leading zeroes.
    I just spoke again with our controlling and it showed me again the problem.
    We dont have accounts with leading zero, but the destination accounts (also a SAP System) have leading zeroes.
    At the moment they have to work with 2 charts of accounts daily and this is a great handicap for them. The goal is just to work with the same chart of account as the destination system.
    Thanks for your estimation - thats something I can and did communicate - but I have to do a SAP call to get an "offer".
    Regards

  • 1_CO_PA_AFS_CCA(cost center accounting) DS enhancement

    hi friends,
    i'm trying to extract COPA : Profitability Analysis data using 1_CO_PA_AFS_CCA(cost center accounting) to custom cube directly(i.e Data source to custom cube without any staging in between datasource & cube).
    In ECC6.0 (tcode: CK40N and then  costs ), per material wise i want to extract labour costs, deprecision, power & fuel, sub contract charges,other manufacturing costs along with this i want to extract i field information "costing lot size".
    I want to extract "costing lot size", but data source doesn't have this field. Is it possible to enhace DS.
    If yes, how to do that?

  • BPS Retraction for Cost Center Accounting - Cost Element - Compounding with

    Hello everybody,
    I'm using the "BPS Retraction for Cost Center Accounting" described in the blog from Praveen Mayalur. I have customized the BPS system  (3.5) as described.
    But if i started the retraction i receive a dump. I have debug a little bit and i found out that there is a problem with the InfoObject "Cost Element". It is compounding with two InfoObjects "Source system ID" and "Controlling area".
    PERFORM FILL_RSRDEP USING I_AREA
                              I_CHANM
                              ITO_CHADEP
                        CHANGING LT_RSRDEP

    IF L_SUBRC NE 0.

      MESSAGE X099(UPC).
    ENDIF.
    Does anybody have this problem before. ?
    Regards Detlev

    Hi,
    it looks that your 0COSTELEMNT has been changed and the additional compounding object 0SOURSYSTEM has bben added. In BI Content it is only compounded to 0CO_AREA. So may be this is the problem.
    To be sure that it works you must make the change in your source system to and "compound" 0COSTCENTER to 0SOURSYSTEM. Or you have to chabge the retraction that way that it ignores the source system and only reads 0CO_AREA and costcenter.

  • Deactivate Cost center accounting in controlling area

    Hi all,
    Could you describe the consequences of the deactivation of CO-CCA in the controlling area?: should I expect incoherencies ?
    The activation (deactivation) code setting is free in OKKP transaction. My first deactivation test show me it's possible to make new postings in FI (FB60) and the cost center is not necessary anymore.
    In fact in my case I don't need to check FI-CO reconciliation.
    Regards
    Pascal Cuenin

    Hello
    Why this type of requirement is coming into our mind. SAP controlling has very good funtionalities for internal reporting. If you deactivate cost center accounting then how your management would see...cost center reporting, budgeting, controlling
    for example you have cost element salary,,,,,with one gl for a company,,,how you will distinguish salary with reference to a division , dept, location....
    how you will get your assessment, settlement, costing all these for which CO functionalities are developed

  • Substitution written under cost center accounting is not working for tcode MB1B but working for MIGO_GI

    Hi All
    Do you know why this behaviour different for subtitution written under cost center accounting.
    We have written substitution using coding block table. Logic of substitution is in case of any GL maintained in a set is being used for posting , then we will replace the cost center with profit center vlaue. Reason being we have same naming convention for Cost center and Profit center.
    Thanks
    Sonia

    Hi,
    MB1B is t-code for stock transfer posting.
    Stock transfer posting generate FI document using balance sheet account, not P&L account.
    Because you don’t create cost elements using balance sheet accounts related to stock, I think that Substitution written under cost center accounting is not working for tcode MB1B is right.

  • About cost center accounting  (Transaction based posting with CO assignment

    Hi,
    I m working on cost center accounting ,and i m stuck in transaction based  posting ,i m post transaction through FB50,
    i m given concern G/L account Dr 8000 and credit to bank account with account assignment cost center 10100.after i simulate this transaction the system accepts and i m enable to see the transacion after simulation,but after that i m going for save it at this time system geting error ,and error is like ---
    Not possible to derive owner from account assignment/bank details
    Message no. REEXFI054
    Diagnosis
    In the condominium owner company code, the system attempts to determine a unique condominium owner for each document.
    To make this determination, the system analyzes:
    The profit centers in the document. Usually the system derives the profit centers from the account assignment objects in the individual line items. In the condominium owner company code, the system determines the profit center for real estate objects from the condominium management contract for the rental object.
    The house bank data in the document. Therefore, the affected bank account has to be entered uniquely in each bank line item.  You can enter the house bank and the account ID in FI posting transactions by choosing Additional Data. The system then searches for the condominium management contract that has these bank details.
    In the current case, the system is not able to determine a unique owner.
    System Response
    The system cannot post the document.
    Procedure
    Check the account assignment data and bank details.
    So plz guide me about this ,

    Hello again,
    First off all thank you both for your answers.
    Dirk,
    When I said enhancing I was not thinking of developing the hole thing. That seems to be a hugely complex task and I do not have the time for that in the project were I am presently working. What I meant was: Is there a SAP Enhancement available? A function exit? A Customer Include? Something that is half way done?
    If this is not the case the solutions I thougth were:
    i) Replicate my infocube's data into a ODS. Develop a report on the R/3 side that reads that data via a RFC and uses Batch Input (Call transaction) to update the data on the R/3 side;
    ii) Develop a function module (similar to the standard one) on the BW side to use in a planning function of type exit which would update a Z database table on the R/3 side and, afterwards, develop a report (also on the R/3 side) which would read that database table and update transactional tables via Batch Input (or Call Transaction with a developed log transaction).
    From the point of view of performance I believe the solution involving the ODS is better because we are talking about 300 000 materials.
    As for your proposed solutions 1) and 2) althougth they seem very nice and elegant I would like to avoid changing the R/3 customizing. Regarding your proposed solution 3) I am going to take a look at the function group you mentioned and the respective note.
    Once again thanks a lot for your answer. You have been very helpfull.
    Best Regards,
    Vasco

  • Library develop report with report painter in Cost Center Accounting

    Dear experts!
    Now, I'm getting some issue about finding library for developing report with report painter.
    Really, i don't know libraries that are used to develop report with report painter for Cost Center Accounting.
    Can tell me about them?
    Help me, please.
    Best regards, Huy

    Hello Huy,
    CCA reports would be based on table CCSS, you can go to transaction GRR2 and check the various libraries listed there and find a suitable one. You can also use libary 1AB which contains the various cost center variance reports or you can use transaction GR21 to create your own library.

  • Error In Cost Center Hierarchy Creation

    Hi Guru's
    Error In Cost Center Hierarchy Creation
    Our Business scenario is we have controlling area 1000, under that we have cost center Group as ABC lower level to that  we create each business wise in lower level like 1100, 1200, 1300 under this we create 110010 for production  110020 employee 110030 dummy so on, by mistake the client has created  1400 below level to 1000 now  all cost center amount is booked in this is reflecting in 1400 and as well in ABC now I need to move all 1400 cost centers below ABC please let me know how to go about this.
    Regards,
    Bhaskar

    Hi,
    So, if it's standard hierarchy go to OKEON and just drag-and-drop this group under ABC; simple as that. In KSH2 (if it's 'alternative' group) the technology of moving is different, but still quite obvious: select the group you want to move and select the new placement.

    If I have 2 company codes with different local currencies (SEK and NOK) in a common controlling area with SEK. How do I get the amounts in cost center accounting in company code currency NOK?  Is this possible? I can only see reporting currency, object currency and transaction currency.

    Hi,
    If your CO objects for company code with NOK are set to NOK as well, you can use object currency.
