MIRO Cost Element error for Cost center

Hi,
When i am doing MIRO - there are some price variances. System is giving the error to maintain the Cost center for that price differance cost element.
But i have already maintain the Cost center for that Cost element in OKB9 Transaction. Why the system is asking for Cost center assignment again?
Kindly help me
Thanks
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
Maintain the OKB9 settings with valuation area mandatory and dont give business area in the sub-sequent screen. Maintain only Valuation area and Cost center. It will not give any error and it will pull the cost center from OKB9.
Thanks

Sales Order - order reason - cost element error in PO creation

Good day Friends,
We have a third party order scenario in our group among different company codes (FI-SD). This scenario is working fine among the existing companies.
Now there is a requirement from finance department to capture the revenues at different cost centers based on the order reason selected in the sales order.
When order reason is mentioned in the sales order the system is giving error at the time of purchase order creation as u201CCreate account 123456 for 16.05.2010 as a cost element in controlling area INTu201D
Where as if the sales order is created without order reason there is no problem in purchase order creation.
Here the account 123456 cannot be created as cost element because it will stop the other existing processes in this controlling area.
Thanks

I can tell you why it's occurring and maybe give you a few suggestions on what to do. The G/L account assignment for the third party sales process is determined based on the account key/modifier assigned to the transaction and the valuation class assigned to the material. In this case, the account key/modifier is determined based on the account assignment category assigned to the purchased order (in the standard system the account assignment category is X for third party processing and the account modifier is VAX). You would find the G/L account based on the combination of the account key = GBB, account modifier and valuation class using t-code (OBYC).
Saying all that, currently that combination is finding a G/L account that is not setup as a cost element (probably your cost of goods sold account) and that's normal for these types of posting. You can only make postings to cost centers for accounts that are setup as cost elements, so currently the system will not let make a posting to a cost center.
So if you want this transaction to post to a cost center, but don't want to create a cost element for this account, then you must use a different G/L account for these postings. The simplest options would be to either change the account modifier assigned to the account assignment category or assign a different valuation class to these materials. Once you've change one of those you can now assign a different G/L account to that combination in OBYC and create that account as a cost element.
thanks,

Cost Center , Cost element , GL Accounts , Cost sheet , Account Assignment

Dear Experts,
Please explain what are Cost Center , Cost element , GL Accounts , Cost sheet , cost component and structure, Account Assignment and how they are interlinked with each other with transactions.
Thanks,

Dear,
Cost element : A cost element classifies the organization's valuated consumption of production factors within a controlling area. A cost element corresponds to a cost-relevant item in the chart of accounts.
Primary cost element: A cost element whose costs originate outside of CO and accrual costs that are used only for controlling purposes
Secondary cost element: A cost element that is used to allocate costs for internal activities. Secondary cost elements do not correspond to any G/L account in Financial Accounting. They are used only in Controlling and consequently cannot be defined in FI as an account.
Cost Center: An organizational unit within a controlling area that represents a defined location of cost incurrence.
GL Accounts : GL Accounts is master data preparation which is assign to chart of accounts.
Costin Sheet : The costing sheet integrates all elements of overhead costing. In costing sheet calculation base, cost element & Overhead rate & credit are define.
cost component and structure :
Cost component - Makes the costs of a material, an activity type, or a process transparent & Groups the costs of a material according to the requirements for material valuation and profitability analysis
cost component structure : It is use for
Activity prices for an activity type
Cost of a process
Planned cost of a product
Material costs passed on to material valuation as the standard price or inventory price
Cost of goods manufactured passed on to Profitability Analysis
Account Assignment : It's use for direct posting. In this we have to assign GL which is required to post directly.

Transaction KSB1 - Display Actual Cost Line Items for Cost Centers

Hi,
When I run transaction KSB1 - Display Actual Cost Line Items for Cost Centers, all my offsetting accounts (accumulated depreciation accounts) are shown except for the ones for asset classes:
- Buildings
- PC & Small Applications
On the FI side, I can see transactions being posted to their relative accumulated depreciation accounts but I do not see this on the CO side when transaction KSB1 is executed. I have checked the config and the account assignments look correct. Also, the assets created have cost centers assigned to them.
Could you please help!
Thanks,
- Deki

Hi Murali,
I have one depreciation expense account (P/L Account) which is also a cost element.
During depreciation run, the different asset classes are supposed to hit the depreciation account above and their corresponding accumulated depreciation accounts (These are Balance Sheet Accounts and I have separate accounts for each asset class .. ie: Accumulated Depreciation for Furniture and Fixture for asset class Furniture and Fixture).
Now when I run transaction KSB1 - Display Actual Cost Line Items for Cost Centers, all my accumulated depreciation accounts are shown except for the ones for these asset classes:
- Buildings
- PC & Small Applications
Any thoughts on why the above aren't showing?
Thanks! I really appreciate your help!

Plan cost line items for cost centers report

Hello,
I am displaying the report: Plan cost line items for cost centers and when I display the details of a line item it appears a document number, where could I display this document?
I have tried to display it in FB03 transaction but it seems not to be this kind of document.
On the other hand in the field Business transaction it appears RKP6, what is the meaning of this field?
Thank you very much

Hi Beatriz Amezua ,
For displaying plan line items for cost center - KSBP and for display of individual plan document : KABP
RKP6 means "Planning Activity Dependent Costs"
Like in FI module, the business transaction have been codified and the list you can find in KANK transaction , mention your controlling area, menu -- Groups -- Display Groups

Balancing error for profit center in transaction FB08

Dear All,
We have made Vendor payments for some invoices. But for some reaseon, we have to reverse the document. When we try to do FB08, we are unable to do so and we are also getting an error ' Balancing error for Profit center.' In our case though we are on ECC6, we have not activated Document splitting.
Kindly suggest how to reverse this document and what additianal steps to be followed to overcome this error.
Thanx
Shivaji

Hi Shivaji,
Please check the field status group of the GL accounts which you are reversing and check whether the Profit center field is maintained as Mandatory or not .If its so, then please change it as to Optional and try.
In your case you are not activated the document splitting function.so that i recommend you to check the same.
So please Check the field status group of vendor payment GL accounts for reversing .Ie Bank Account GL and Vendor Recon Account GL. If the profit center field for these GL are maintianed as mandatory in the field status group ,then change it as to Optional .
Please let me know...
Regards

Cost element error while processing GR of Subcontracting sch.agreement

Hello All,
While processing GR for a Subcontracting Sch. Agreement, the system gives the following error:
Cost element 50050002 is not assigned to a cost component in CostCompStruct M1
Message no. MLCCS010
Diagnosis
You have activated the actual cost component split.
No cost component has been assigned to cost element 50050002 origin group in cost component structure M1 for chart of accounts MMC. The system is unable to assign the value to a cost component.
System Response
You cannot carry out posting.
Procedure
Check whether for this operation the value to be posted is to be assigned to this cost element.
If the value has been assigned to the wrong cost element, you should change the account assignment for this operation.
If the value has been assigned to the right cost element, then maintain an assignment of the cost element and origin group in Customizing of Product Cost Planning.
The Sch.agr contains the parent material and the child part is maintained in the Component overview for that material in Maintaining the sch.line.
What should be looked into.
Please help.

Cost Element Error during Activity Confirmation

Hi,
We are using assembly processing to create projects. After project is created, a requirement arises and we manually assign few internal activities in CJ20N. When we do like that, a cost element gets picked automatically in the cost element field of External TAB along with Purchase Org & purchase group though it is an internal activity. This doesnt happen in already created activities during automatic creation.
We don't need the system to bring these values for cost element, purchase org. & group. We are not using this cost element anywhere. In network profile cost element field is blank.
So whenever we confirm the activity it throws an error message. CK197, G/L account for company code / costelement does not exist.
Kindly advice.
Regards,
Rahul

Hi, Rahul,
Have your system is gone for any recent upgrade for EHP4 ?
This error is due to EHP4 please implement following said notes
1285728, 1277967.
And after that remove the cost element from activities present in external tab which are created before not implementation which are giving error.
revert after resolving the issue.

Cost Element Report for all cost objects

Hello,
Is there any standard SAP report where it can list down all cost elements, and their line item/total postings done to various CO Objects in one shot.
We have CE/CCTR, CE/IO, etc, but if we can have one report which can list all cost elements and postings done via it to different cost objects - cost centers, internal orders, WBS, etc, might be very handy to us.
Thanks
Balla

Hi Balla,
Please use S_SL0_21000007 for your requirement.
It gives cost element postings to different cost objects.

Error message: cost elements have no cost component structure

using transaction KSII for the report; we didn´t change any settings, but we get this warming in the system.
We don´t know what happens, because it was ok in december, but know we have this warning.
The version for the year 2009 is maintained.
Any ideas?

There might be some new cost elements which would incurred actual costs which were not available in 2008 as well as in Cost component Structure.
Anyways try maintaining the cost elements in Cost Component structure.

Define Cost Elements Range for Internal Activity Allocation

Dear All,
I have the following scenario, for SAP standard they have defined the Secondary Cost Elemenets 641000 - 641999 as the Internal Activity Allocation. I would like to ask where in SPRO configuration can I change this range with my own custom Secondary Cost Elements 400000 - 499999.
Thanks

I have not come across any SAP standard number range. They are client specific.
Also your question regarding number range for Secondary cost elements is not clear. For creation of same you dont require any number range I suppose.
Number range in SPRO can be maintained in KANK
