Modifying the cost center when posting an MM invoice

Hi All,
my client wants to change the Cost Center assignment field when posting an invoice coming from MM process (PR>PO>SES). I'm now using transaction MIRO to make some test and I see the field is 'not modifiable'. I tried to see if i could sort it out from trx.OME9 but i am not really sure how and if i am in the right way. Somebody can please give any clear advices for this requirment? Thanks so much in advance,
regards
Livio

HI,
Just to make sure that there is no confusion here, the changeable indicators DO work if you have a valuated receipt, you CAN change the assignment, but the postings have already been made and will not be affected by the change (it will simply affect further receipts after the change) and so Shoaib is right in some respects because it is not changing the posting, but the fields can be changed to affect future receipts, even after a valuated GR. (I have done this many times).
But I think that the problem with this query is the fact that it is a service PO with the item category D. There is additional validation involved due to the complex data of a service PO.
So I would suggest that you try to change it in the service entry sheet or PO (you may have to reverse the SES first.

Implication of changing the Cost center during posting

Hi all,
Due to business reasons, we have unchecked the 'Agree' indicator in the Acct assignment configuration for Asset accounting. Hence, cost center becomes editable during document posting.
We want the cost center to be editable only for ABF1 t-code and for other asset t-codes like acquistion, retirement, scrapping, transfer etc, we want to derieve the cost center from the master data.
Given the situation, I request experts' input on 2 questions -
1. Is it possible to have the cost center editable only in ABF1 and disabled in other AA transactions?
2. If cost center is editable in all the t-codes, what is the implication if the cost center is mismatched with the data available in the master record?
Please provide your inputs.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The client has many plants, of which only few are running in SAP and the rest non-SAP.
Whenever there is transfer of asset from non-sap plant to SAP implemented plants, we handle the situation as below in the receiver plant-
1. Treat the asset transfer as legacy asset transfer and create asset master record through AS91. Maintain the cummulative acq value and Cummu depn value till the last period in master data.
2. As legacy transfer is not real time integrated with FI, we are doing ABF1 posting to pass manual JV to record APC and Acc depn. posting. At this instance, we want the cost center to be manually keyed in. This is because, we have yet another situation, where we need to have the net book value of the asset at cost center level for our allocation cycles. Hence,
3. But, for other normal AA transactions, it shd automatically derieve from asset master.
Request your suggestion on achieving the above requirement.

Prompt for cost center when posting depreciation

Hi all,
Do you know where can i enable 'Depreciation posting with cost center'? Now each time it ask for cost center.
Thanks.

A cost center must be defined in order to post depreciation because it is posting to an expense account. In the SAP standard setup, expense accounts must have a cost center assignment, revenue accounts must have a profit center assignment, and balance sheet accounts must have company code assignment, respectively. To my knowledge, it would take a great deal of FI configuration change to make the deprecation expense accounts not require a cost center (and probably unadvisable).
Thanks,

I don't choose the cost centers when I enter a vendor invoice...

Hı friend!
when I enter a vendor invoice,I don't choose the cost centers that I have created before...
the cursor in cost center field,I press the F4 button and a window opening for cost center,and I have double clicked on the cost center what I want,nothing is coming...
Thank you for interest...

Hi
Directly enter the cost center while posting the invoice, if you have already created the cost center
and
also check whether the company code is assigned to that particular cost center related controlling area.

How to control the Cost Center incurred value posted from many transactions

In KP60, cost center wise , element wise budget is allocated .i.e planned. Ex: 450000 is assigned and saved.
Now ex: in FB60, when we post a vendor invoice having the value greater than the above value, system should not allow.
Like this, the cost to the cost center can be incurred to the cost center not only in FB60 , but also from many transactions.

Is it possible that you mean KP06? (not KP60???)
Because if this is the case KP06 is only for planning...not budget.
Please clarify..

0315 infotype error when we are updating the cost center

Hi Experts
for one employee when i am going to change the cost center in 0315 infotype it is giving the error like
cost center does not exist in CSKS . but i checke in CSKS table it is availble in CSKS
but i noticed one point in this t-code for last costcenter , controlling area is not availble.
is this the cause for error.
Plz advise.
Thanks

Hi,
If you are checking the cost center by querying on CSKS table, The cost center should be of length 10.
You need to append Zeros to the cost center in the front to make the length as 10 and pass it to CSKS table.
Use the FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT to input zeros in the front.
Thanks,

Is there a way to redetermine the cost center for an internal order on a PO

When we create a PO for an asset we enter an internal order number and a cost center is determined from the internal order. Sometimes after the po is created the cost center on the IO changes. The po is not updated automatically on the PO and it results in the wrong cost center being posted to during the Goods Receipt and invoice receipt. Is there a program or batch job that we can run that will redetermine the accounting data on a PO?
Thanks!

Change in the cost center group

Hi,
Can we change the cost center from one cost center group to another group, when there are some postings in the cost center? If yes, how to go about it?
help me out

Yes you can!
If you are planning to change within the standard hierarchy, Goto OKEON, drag, drop and save.
Or you can go to KS02 for the cost center, in the basic data, you can give the new cost center group under the hierarchy area.
If it is just non hierarchy cost center group, then go to KSH2 enter the old group, select the cost center, delete save, then go to the new cost center group and include the cost center.
It does not matter whether it has been posted or not. It is just a grouping. But caution must be exercised. and there shall be a valid justification for doing so. Because the cost center may be used in various cycles. So better to check where and all the cost center is being used and then do the change.

Why we assign cost center while posting to any G/L

Hi All,
I need one clarification.
Why we assign cost center while posting to any G/L, even though we have been assign cost center to the cost element it will post the co entry through cost element.
Please any one make me understand the internal logic and process of how cost element and cost center works.
Thanks
Nandha

Find below your clarification for the points
Why we assign cost center while posting to any G/L, even though we have been assign cost center to the cost element it will post the co entry through cost element.: Once you have assigned cost center to cost element in T.code OKB9 or KA01, no need of manually entering the cost center for the respecting primary cost GL while passing enteris.
Please any one make me understand the internal logic and process of how cost element and cost center works.: Whenever you post a cost to primary cost element , you require an object in Controlling , such as cost center to identify the costs. This primary costs are only created when the respective GL exist in the operational chart. Cost center is the location where cost incurs. Thus when you assign the cost to cost center , the cost will be booked against that particular location .

Hi,
I tested it, made some research and found note 29947:
When posting depreciation with RABUCH00, with account assignment to cost
center, depreciation is always posted to the cost center assigned at the
end of the posting period in which depreciation is being posted.
Depreciation is not distributed for a proportionate period of time (by
date) to the time-dependent cost centers assigned in table ANLZ.
This note speaks about RABUCH00 but is is release independend and still valid.
Have you made another experience?
( Time independent organization unit is not relevant in that case)

How to get the cost center and division for a given FI vendor document...

Hello Experts,
I am currently developing a report wherein I have to show the cost center and division used in the given FI document.
These documents are vendor related transactions.
In the file that was given to me by the user, she indicated the cost centers used by the FI documents
but when I view it via VA03 I cannot theere are no cost centers used in all the line items.So are there
any FM, BAPIs and/or tables that I can use for my requirement?
Hope you can help me guys. Thank you and take care!

Hi
I am not sure on the requirement. You are developing a FI report and accessing VA03 which is sales transaction. Anyway for getting cost center you can go to table VBAK,VBAP for line items.
Hope solves ur problem

PR creation for 'F" in ME51N, ME52n, the cost center field exit getactivate

Dear Gurus,
We have a Cost center Field exit activation, meaning when a PR is generated, the system will validate only for his department cost center. Its working fine
The issue, when we create PR through ME51n or me52n for Acct Assign "F" here we are going to enter only Work order number and GL number, not cost center. Still this field exit has activation, here the same error message popup, which suppose not to be.
So in MM configuration, i have disabled Cost center field for acct assignment "F".
Now when i create a PR for F, for single account assignment, the system will alllow, but if i want to distribute the qty to different work order, the system goes for validation for cost center field exit.
How to resolve for multiple assignment, how to deactivate the Cost center field exit for this case, its woking fine of Single account assignment (after disable the cost center field for Account Assignment "F")
Please help me out or any way to do this?
Regards
RS

Hi,
Cross check you have Cost Center field is Hidden for Account Assignment Category A (Asset) in t.code:OME9. Now change Cost Center field as Display for Account Assignment Category A and save.
Now create a new PO with Account Assignment Category A and find the difference how Cost Center appearing in your PO in “Account Assignment” TAB.
