Material and cost center

Hi,
May I know where is material kept?
As I understand, only when consumption of materail, it is debited to cost center. So before consume, the material is in inventory.
I would like to know if in inventory, then it is not belong to any cost center? then why in profit center?
thanks

Hello
1) Yes it is possible to debit cost center when the material is consumed in the cost center. An example of this is consumables which are consumed against cost centers with movement type 201. This is because these materials are not part of the BOM and pretty in nature.
2) Whenever wages and salaries are booked the relevant cost centers are debited. Here the wages account is debited (so also cost center) and bank/wages payable account is credited. When we do actual production we charge direct labour to Manufacturing orders as an activity. This is only a CO entry where the cost center is credited and the manufacturing order is debited.
3) Profit center is a responsibility area means the person who is managing the profit center is not only responsible for the profit but also responsible for the return on investment. Investment means total of current and fixed assets - liabilities. There may be two profit centers say A and B with investments of 1000 USD and 5000 USD. Both make a profit of 200 USD. So when we see the ROI then A is much better then B.
So to find the total assets which includes stock, we need to maintain them profit center wise. This is the reason why the profit center field is available in material master.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.

Control G/L account and Cost Center for movement type 251

Dear Friends,
I would like to use mov. type 251 for GI for sale and like to control over G/L account and Cost center.
The G/L account is by default from the valuation class of the the material and if the user will enter wrong G/L
we had done the customising in OMJJ movement type 251 - Account grouping - Unchecked the check box of column
"Check account assignment" - Impact is " the system always uses the G/L accounts or account assignments determined automatically"
I also made default cost center for G/L account and plant wise through OKB9.
Now I would like to suppress/dispaly the G/L account and cost center - for same I had done Setting in Entry control menu of OMJJ for 251 of field Account control - Value - "-" field is suppressed. But it is not working.
Please advise to solve this situation.
Thanks & Regards
Rajan

Dear Rajan
Yes, I have checked in MB1A earlier. We have separate node for Field seletion layout for Enjoy transaction MIGO for mvt type in which the G/L account (KONTO) an Cost center (KOSTL) have only optional or required entry selection.
warm regards

GL account and cost center field appearing for Goods issue movt type 201

Hi SAP Gurus
We are trying to post goods issue in ecc6 . The problem is that the GL Account and cost center fields are available fields .The cost center field is logical but why the GL account field is avaiable .
How we can grey out the same field as it is going to be picked up from the valuation class setting in GBB - VBR ? Any ideas
Regards
Hitesh

Hi Ravi
You think that its ok we have to input the cost center .
But if you allow the users to input the GL then you are overriding the whole purpose of defining the valuation class and offsetting entries ? What is your opinion ?When you input the material in the goods issue screen the offsetting entry needs to be picked from the GBB -VBR .Although even if you do not enter the GL the system posts the Godds issue document .But from the control perspective this needs to be suppressed .
What do you think ?
I have also posted the same in Logistics forum .
Once again many thanks for your help .In case you find some solution this would be of great help

Material-resource-cost center list

Dear Friends
where can i get the list of the Materils related to resourcese + costcenter .
which materils are using the costcenter with resource name i want to know.
Please let me know.

Hi Srihari,
There is no standard report available to link material, resource and cost center.
Like Vishal said u have to use the tables and link them through T-Cose SQVI and assign it to a Z tcode.

How to Override Company and Cost Center for FI Posting from HR Payroll

Current problem: A company code has been 'merged' into another one and the old company code can no longer be used. In the last payroll run, there was a rate change that caused a retro back to the time of the old company code and since the old company code and cost center were closed, the FI posting error'ed out. To correct, we had to delete the offending pernr from the cluster and back out the rate change until we came up with a solution.
Investigation has revealed a process called 'Substitute Cost Centers', but we tested it and a 'flusher' cost center is required to be set up in the old company code and FI refuses to open it up.
Also, I've located 3 user exits for RPCIPE00, but I do not see where company and cost center can be changed. So I've tried to code my own BAdi, but there seems to be a header company code that I'm not getting. The item company code and cost center seem to be doable, but I don't know how to change the header company code.
I am new to HR and Payroll having spent the last couple of years in BI and before that I worked with the material master and Purchasing. It is my humble opinion that the company should not have been 'turned off' until Payroll was finished with it and that means 2 years until we archive. In reading about symbolic accounts, several times it is written not ever to delete them. Seems to me company code is the same. But surely I must be wrong and there is a solution that will make everybody happy.
I would appreciate any and all ideas. Thank you so much.

Amosha, thank you for your response. Here is PCP0 that shows what I mean by 'header company code' that I don't see how to change (I re-ran pd 26 2008--bi-weekly payroll, btw):

Error in document: HRPAY 0000008174
The CO account assignment object belongs to company code 0001, not 0057
Company code 0057 is now closed and has been merged into 0001. Cost center 14515 in the above doc was populated by my clone of RPCIPE00 and call to my BAdI which retrieved current company and cost center from PA0001. You can see from above that the 'header' data still shows 0057 and indeed, my version of RPCIPE00 only changes P_ITEM-BUKRS, P_ITEM-KOSTL and P_ITEM-SGTXT. It looks to me that fm HRPP_TRANSLATE_FICO gets the 'header' company code afresh. I was planning to leave WPBP-BUKRS (and all other Payroll data) alone (ie, not override company code).
As for your other question, we post retros to /551 and /552.
Thanks again.

What is the impact of business area and cost center in the sales document

Hi all
I have small doubt regarding what is the impact of bussiness area and cost center in the sales document... what is the uses of these (bussiness area, cost center) is help full for sd module
can any one reply plz....
Thanking you

Hi,
Business Area determines where the revenue should be allocated when you sell a material or a service.
For eg: If your customer is in say Mumbai and he is ordering for a service in Delhi (say DIAL - Delhi International Airport Limited) then based on the terminology.
Your customer would belong to B Basis Business Area - WHERE THE REVENUE IS COMING FROM or WHERE YOUR CUSTOMER BELONGS TO (SALES OFFICE).
Whereas your DIAL sales will belong to A Basis Business Area - WHERE THE REVENUE IS GOING TO.
Cost Center would determine where your allocate your cost to.
Say Rounding Off can be used as a cost element, because some sort of revenue is lost when figures are roudned off..
Hope it clarifies your doubt.
Reward points if satisfactory

Good Receipt and Cost Center

I Created PO Stock. and i want to do Good Receipt. but i getting error like this
Cost center 1000/130102 blocked against direct postings on 08.12.2011
i have checked the cost center. and yes for cost center 130102 are blocked. what i want to ask is.
is there any connection between Good receipt and Cost Center. as far as i know, Good Recipt only related with GL Account. except for GR for PO from maintenance Order.
if it's related what are the T-Code to change/setting the cost center for Good Receipt.
Thanks.

Hi Elam24,
I have checked fs00. and for Cost cneter it's already Optional Entry.
HI Rajesh Satope,
yes i have checked the cost center and the cost center should not be used. so how to change the cost center, so when i created GR system will not send an error for this material.
NOTE : when i do GR for another material. it goes fine.
Hi Bijay Kumar Barik,
Thanks. it work. GR related to Cost Center from GL Account. and like Rajesh Satope said. "There are cases where some accounts do require a assignment to CO object". and to Change the cost center for certain GL Account(in my case it's Gl Account for Cost Difference) use T-Code KA03 at Tab Default Account Assignment. change the Cost Center and it's work :).
Thanks.

Isue of material to cost center

Gurus,
Whenever i want to issue material to Maintenance order ,i want to issue material to cost center only using 201 instead of 261.How can set this?

Hi!
You can create reservation in two ways either separate reservation from t code MB21 or else from order (maintenance, production, sales or network).
What is the difference, in both cases reservation is created?
difference is when reservation is generated through order you can settle cost to more than one cost center. However, through MB21 you can settle cost to only one cost center.
Still if you want to settle cost to more than one cost center at the time of creation of reservation or goods issue than you will have to go for enhancement. Please coordinate with your MM and FI consultants.

PO reporting that can capture PO number, PO value and cost center

Dear SAP expert and gurus,
Would like to seek for your professional advise and consult on which report in MM that can capture the PO number, PO value and cost center.
Kindly advise.
Thank you
Regards
Leonard Tan

ME80FN is a good report that captured the PO number and amount. However, the cost center is not being captured here. is there any suggestion?
ME2K is not an ideal report to user cause, user requires the data to be shown in one line instead of 2 to 3 line.
Is there any report like ME80FN can be captured PO number, PO value and Cost Center.
Thank you

AP invoice with different tax rate and cost center?

Dear all,
We are just upgrade from 11i to R12.1.3. Before in 11i, we can change distribution account in AP invoice distribution line if the type is "Tax". However, after updated to R12, we define tax code (e.g. P1 for particular account combination), so once user selects tax code "P1" and invoice will automatic creates tax line for such invoice but the user cannot change distribution account anymore. Because in 11i, user will change the distribution account (cost center segment) but now in R12 user cannot change it.
The only work around is defining different tax code for different cost center.
For example: P1-0001 => 01.0000.999999.00001
P2-0001 => 01.0000.999999.00002
We have hundred of tax code and cost center combination.
Any other work around for this? or anyone encounter the same problem?
Please advice.
Thanks.

Let me explain more in details:
1) The cost centre will will more. 2 cost centres just a simple example.
For now, we have 5 cost centres for each of the tax rate. For the work around now, I need to define 5 tax codes for the same tax rate for different distribution combinations:
Quote
Tax Code ==>Tax Rate ==> AP Distribution Combination
A1-3500 ==> 10% ==>001.9999999.3500.00
A1-3600 ==> 10%==> 001.9999999.3600.00
A1-3700 ==> 10%==> 001.9999999.3700.00
A1-3800 ==> 10%==> 001.9999999.3800.00
A1-3900 ==> 10%==> 001.9999999.3900.00
2) The driving factor would be 100% percent.
Please kindly advice.
Many thanks.

Internal order and Cost center

hi guys
can anyone please explain me why do we have cost centers and internal orders?
If we can track cost to cost center then why do we need internal orders?
please give some detailed explanation.
thanks

when you are posting a document and if the g/l is created as a cost element then
you have to either assign a cost center, profit center, internal order etc
so when you are posting an expense and if its for that project you assign the
internal order and when the project is finished you can settle it to a cost center.
If we can assign both internal order and cost center i dont think so but not very
sure. Best way to learn these things i would recommend is try it in test system
that way you will understand better about the whole flow and it will stick in your
mind.
