Linking Cost Centre to Hierarchy via ALE

When sending new Cost Centres from our FMS Server to HR/Payroll Server via ALE & IDOCS, the Cost Centres are created, but there is no link to the Hierarchy. (ie) when going into transaction OKEN, they do not appear under the relevant group. However in KS03, the new Cost Centre is displayed with its Cost Centre group.
Is there a Function Module which can be run to rectify this, or can ALE be configured to do it.

Hi Beena,
You can structure your cost centers into groups like
- OverHeads
*SalesMarkeing
*R&D
*Admin
*HR
*Service
*MGMT Office
- Manufacturing Depts
*dep1
*dep2
- Products
*Prd1
*Prd2

Dummy cost centres to Hierarchy

Hi Experts and friends,
We have a requirement to add several dummy cost centres to the existing costcentre hierarchy. My requirement is like this.
0HIER_NODE       RP-CRM                     1
0HIER_NODE       RP-CRM-ESCCM        2
0COSTCENTRE    GB300                       3
Those 1 and 2 are existing and I need to add 0costcentre GB300 as a dummy ,like this I need to add several dummy one. Can I do this straight from hirarchy enhancement. But there I could not find costcentre GB300 when I use f4.
Could you please share your exp on this.
Best regards.

Manually maintain the dummy data values or load from a flat file to the masterdata tables. You cant use values(though they are dummy), if they are not present in the masterdata table.
Yes you can maintain the hierarchy manually. But the question would be, what happens to ur dummy values, when you load the hierarchy again from the esource system next day .. wont ur dummy values be overwritten -
if you are not planning to load this data, or make a copy of hierarchy to use for certain reports - you should be fine.

Authorization based on STD Cost Centre Hierarchy - different hier levels

Hello,
I need to create an Authorization scenario where the same user, which have autorization based on Cost Centre Standard Hierarchy, would have access to Cost Centre Hier "NODE A" for "CUBE 1" and Cost Centre Hier "NODE AB" for "CUBE 2". The challange is that he cannot access "NODE A" on "CUBE 2".
How can I have this? Would it work if I create 2 different authorization objects based on cost centre, each one for a different cube?
Current authorizations are set up for CUBE 1 based on roles assigned to users and this affects more than 300 User ID. So I need a solution with few impact on what is already set up...
BW version 3.1
Thanks in advance

Just for the forum information, I have made further progress on this.
I have created different Authorization Objects (both based on cost cecntre) and assigned each one o a different cube. I will then have 2 roles assigned to the user: one role with Auth Object X will provide access to cube A only; the other role with Auth Object Y will provide access to cube B only.
Regarding the hiearchy level, as this does not depend of the Authorization Object but on the Cost Centre Object itself, I dont need to create (Tcode: RSSM) duplicated hierachy technical names for the same node of the hiearchy depending on the auth. Object.
Hope this helps who's browing on the forum and have a similar issue. Otherwise, please contact me.

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

Cost centre accounting

Hi,
We have a requirement for reporting the costs on the basis of 3 criteria: Location, Industry and divisions. Can someone tell me what is the best option in which our cost centre standard hierarchy can be structured so that, it meets all the criteria. The problem is one particular division will be providing services to all the industries. And if i create a seperate node for each of the criteria, location, industry and division, then cost can remain only in one of the nodes finally. That means if cost is allocated from location node to industry node or division node, location cost centres will be having zero balance. Can someone tell me if there is any alternative to have the cost analysis on the basis of all the three criteria i have mentioned?
Expecting prompt support as always.....
Regards
Suresh

You can have a separate cost center series for each loaction e.g. 1* for location 1, 2* for location 2 and so on. For each location, maintain the same sequence for individual cost centers e.g. maintainence dept for each location will start with location code and next number is same.
As regards reporting of expenses after allocation, you can use functionality of assessment cycle, wherein cost gets apportioned to under secondary cost element. Hence if you excluse secondary cost element then you still will be able to get expense report on the service csost center.

Cost centre hierarchy

What s the purpose of dealing with cost centre hierarchy?(Financial->Cost accounting-> cost centre hierarchy)
Where does this actualy fits into?
Regards,
vasanthi.

Hello vasanthi,
Please look for the information on Cost Center via B1 online help.
1. Financials->Cost Accounting->Define Cost Center Hierarchy, here
you can define a new template as you need, add department as
Slibling and add various expenses/revenues as the Child to relevant
department.
2. Financials->Cost Accounting->Profit Center - Report-> Select the
Dimension used in the template from the drop down list then tick the
radio button before 'Template' and select the template you have defined,
then click 'OK'.
Link between cost center hierarchy and chart of accounts:
First of all, you define the various cost centers or departments in your
company as profit centers.
Then assign revenue and expense accounts to the profit centers so that
any data relevant to a profit center can
be updated automatically for all transactions entered in the system.
(This is where we have a link between chart of accounts and cost center
hierarchy).
Costs are allocated to the profit centers using information that you
define in a distribution rule. This means that any costs incurred willbe
allocated to the profit centers on the basis of a specific key.
If you decide that the way in which costs are allocated no longer
reflects the way in which your company works, you simply change the
distribution rule as required.

How to setup Cost Centres driven purchasing approval Hierarchy

Hi Guys,
My client has a Cost Centre set as a segment of their Key Flexfield
Every Approver has cost centre limited approval limit attached
Eg:
Approver AAA can approve upto 100$ for cost centre 1111 only
Approver BBB can approve upto 200$ for cost centre 2222 only
Approver CCC can approve upto 200$ for cost centre 1111 only
Required:
When Requester creates a requisition for a certain cost centre (ie cost centre 1111), oracle should build an approval list based on approval limits.
In our example:
Requestor creates requisition for 150$ for cost centre 1111
Generated Approval List: Approver AAA -> Approver CCC
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Iana

Thanks Sandeep!
My problem is not how to define approval groups (this will work!), but how to generate an approval list (or how to setup hierarchy)
Approval list should be generated from those people who can approve my cc, not my next in line manager
Eg:
when I create Req for cc 1111,
My approval list shd be: Approver AAA -> Approver CCC
when I create Req for cc 222,
My approval list shd be: Approver BBB
One solution can be to create a separate hierarchy for each CC range (ie Marketing, IT, etc) and let requestor to choose the correct hierarchy from LOV. The problem here will be that multiple hierarchies are difficult to maintain. For example, if the position for Deputy CFO changes, I have to adjust each hierarchy

COPCA - distribute cost estimate via ALE

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has experience distributing cost estimate data via ALE, using COPCA IDOC?!
What are the neccessary set up and consderation?
Thanks,
Alice

Hi
Thanks for your note.
Please advise me on the financial statement version, as well.
The reason for investigating this is to find out standard way to distribute/extract FSV out of SAP for both nodes of FSV and assignment of the GL accounts to the nodes.
If you could give me some hint, i would be more grateful.
Kind regards

Migration of Cost Centre Hierarchy from 4.7 to ECC.0

Hi Gurus
Our client is upgrading from 4.7 to ECC 6
Now currently we have a standard hierarchy in Legacy system and multiple alternate hierarchies.
I would request your suggestions on the best way to be able to combine and modify the Hierarchies outside Legacy System before uploading into ECC.
I could find an IDOC COGRP01 which can create cost centre groups which requires data in a particular format.
Best Regards
Varun

Hi Varun
Choice is yours! Whether you modify it in the Source system 4.7 version and then transfer it to ECC or you move it as it is to ECC and then modify it in ECC
you will have to choose between the two

Link between Cost centre and G/L Account

Hi All,
Please provide the Link between Cost centre.
ie., Please provide me the T.code or Table where we will get link between Cost centre and G/L Account.
Please let me know.
Regards,
Nagaraj S

Hi,
Please note that Cost Centers are maintained to capture costs, i.e. P & L items of GLs you have created. These items would have been created as a Primary Cost element and the costs
are passed to to the cost center through account assignments. You can see these GL A/cs created as cost elements - Cost Center-wise, period wise for which various standard reports are available.

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.
