ME51N for consumable Material through COST CENTER

Hi all
I got the ERROR : Create Acc. 400000 for 19.09.2007 as a cost element in controlling area 1000.
This error came when i was creating PR for consumable material i.e. Tcode ME51N
Help me solve this Problem
Pradeep

Hi Pradeep,
You are creating PR for consumable material with account assignment as K probably
your account 40000 is not defined as cost element in controlling you will assogn a cost center for your account
You can do so in FS00 By assigning a cost center to your G/L and declaring it as cost element in controlling but better to do the same in consultation with FICO

Procedure for return material from cost center

Is there any other Movement Type to return material from Cost Center except Cancellation of Goods Issue ?

Hi
I think no option other than cancellation.
You can try the the below scenario.
Try to receive the material into GR blocked stock using 103 if you want to use the material release it by 105
If you want to return then use movement type 124.
Hope it helps
Thanks/karthik

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.

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.

Movement Type for GR to Post material in COST center

Hi ...
Do I need to use 101 Movement type even to Post Material into consumption...
or
in simple words if i have account category "K" in Purchase Order then which Movement type I should select to prepare GR and do I need to use same MIGO transaction.
Regards/SANDEEP

Hi,
Basically 101 Movement type would mean that the Goods are being received into the enterprise (could be a Warehouse,Cost Center or a Logical Storage location).
Migo is a transaction which enables to document the Goods Receipt and henec this needs a reference document which could be a PO ,Production Order etc,.
In the normal Goods Receipt into a Warehouse against a PO the Goods are valuated(Inventorised in Physical & Financial Terms).
In the case of the goods received against a PO for cost center the value is directly posted into the Consumption account instead of the Stock account in case of the former
I hope the above is sufficient.
Thanks & Regards,

Create Material with cost center

Dear SAP Gurus,
I want to create new materials with specific cost center but I do not know how can this be done. Is it possible for someonw to help me...?
This is MM or more CO module?

Materials are not linked to cost centres. Whenever, you issue a material, you can select the relevant cost centre in the time of the goods issue.

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.
Regards,
srihari.M

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.

FI Cube for G/L and Cost Center Restriction

Hi,
We are trying to build a finance report that provides items like overhead, revenue, expenses etc. We started working with cube 0FIGL_C01 but there does not appear to be a way to restrict by cost centers. Basically, we have a list of G/L accounts defining the various items like overhead, revenue, expenses etc, but for some of these items we need to exclude certain cost centers. In such a scenario, which cube might be the best for us to use?
Thanks,
Anita S.

Agree, but also check if the company is approaching the use of the new Flexible General Ledger (that comes in ECC 6.0).
If so, you could have GL balances split by Cost Center directly in GL.
If not, you have the above mentioned infocubes.

How to define an owner for an organization/department/cost center

Hello Friends,
I have a requirement in which i need to route requisition approval to the cost center(fetched from the charge account) owner.
I am trying to find a standard way to achieve this. Is there any standard feature available to establish this relationship.
Any ideas?
Version : 11.5.10.2
Thanks for your help !
Regards,
Amit

Assuming that one person typically raises requisition for one cost center only, you can try the following approach.
You can define a position for each cost center manager.
Then you have do define one approval group for each cost center.
When defining the approval group, you have to use the a/c range such as
000-000-403-000-000 to zzz-zzz-403-zzz-zzz.
where 403 is the dept. number.
Then you have to assign the approval group to the right position.
Then you define your hierarchy (either purchasing or employee-supervisor) where each employee reports to his appropriate department manager.
This way, when an employee raises a requisition, it will go to his boss and his boss will have the authority to approve the requisition only if the requisition is for his department. If not, the requisition will go to boss's boss.
If your requirement is that one person may raise requisitions for different Dept. and they should get routed properly. I believe you will have to go for AME.
Hope this helps,
