Multiple cost centers linked to one work center

Hi all,
is it possible to link multiple cost centers to one work center ?

Dear Bjorn,
1.For the same work center its possible to assign only cost center at a time or say for a validity period.
2.Its possible assign different cost ccenter for the work center for different validity periods,provided the
rates are also define properly in KP26.
3.One cost center can be assigned to multiple work center.
4.Its possible to define different rates for the same cost center and activity type combination only
for different periods.
3.Same activity type may be having different rates for a different cost center combination.
4.Only one cost center can be valid for a work center.
5.Same cost center may be linked to many work centers.
Check and revert back.

Combine Work Center Link Groups in one Work Center

Hello Experts,
our requirement is to combine the Work Center Link Groups of several Work Centers into one Custom Work Center.
For example, the work centers Knowledge Management and Managing Operations. (IC-MGRKM, IC-MGRMA)
They have Work Center Link Groups like IC-MGMA-CR or IC-MGKM-CR. Now we defined an own work center Y-IC-MGRMA and assigned these links groups (and others) to the Work Center.
However, when we open the Work Center we only ever see links of one work center type (for example only the links of Knowledge Management).
Is it even possible to combine the different work centers into one big work center with many links? What would we have to do to achieve this?
Help would be appreciated!

If I am not wrong you are assigning standard work Center Link Groups like IC-MGMA-CR & IC-MGKM-CR to newly created Work center Y-IC-MGRMA .If I try the same, all related links can be made visible. The process you are following is correct.
You may have confused with the nomenclature of your work center ID - Y-IC-MGRM. Please look into the "Group ID" column, if you are assigning standard group links as mentioned above you will find three logical link ID for Knowledge management & two for MGMA too. In short if five logical links are available in second level navigation then things are correct at you end. I tried it and its working fine.
Pease check.
Thanks & regards,
Amit

Distribute from multiple cost centers to single cost center

Hello,
I have a requirement follows this way:
multiple costs are posted to a few P&L accounts and a cost center. Now I want to distribute these total costs to multiple cost centers on a certain percentage basis. How to do this? I used Cost Center distribution. But the actual costs did not show up on the receiver side. Please tell me how to do this.
Thanks

Thanks for your replies. I tried to settle to G/L account through Allocation structure. The same G/L account is debited and credited. Why is this happening and what is the concept behind this?
Here is my scenario. We collect all the costs on a WBS element and then settle to a cross company code GL account. What is the best approach to achieve this? Please advise.
Thanks

Statistical Internal Orders - How can i charge to multiple cost centers

In the master data for the statistical internal orders, I am only able to enter one cost center in the 'Actual Posted Cctr' field. Is there a way to have multiple cost centers and the allocation % for each cost center (similar to the settlement rules on regular internal orders)?
thanks!

Hiya,
OKB9 works by assigning multiple Cost Centres to the Company Code + GL combination. However, I don't believe OKB9 is your solution - for the simple reason that you wish to post the information to multiple CCtrs, along with posting it to this Statistical IO.
In my opinion, you may have to delete the Actual Cost Centre assignment and, at the time of document posting, assign the True CCtr as well as this IO, or look for a User Exit that will trigger flows to multiple CCtrs along with this IO.
The other option is to make this a real posting to this IO (change the IO from statistical to real), and then settle this cost to multiple CCtrs. As long as it stays statistical, you don't have the liberty of settling the cost.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Multiple cost centers postings in RE-FX.

Hello everyone!
We are currently implementing SAP Flexible Real Estate solution to manage the company's properties. We are facing some problems regarding the distribution of rental costs among multiple costs centers. Our scenario is basically this (example):
1)In our usage view we have one building with three rental spaces connected to it. Each rental space has different area-measurements and represents different segments in our company (with a specific cost-center associated to it).
2)The company doesn`t own the building, the structure is rented from a person outside the organization. In this case we`ve created a Commercial lease-in type of contract (external contract, where the company is the user of the object).
3)This contract contains the three rental spaces mentioned above, and we've configured the contract condition to distribute the rental costs among these objects based on the area measurement.
4)When we perform transaction RERAPP for this contract to pay the vendor we`ve noticed that even though the costs where divided among the objects, the cost-centers were not updated.
Considering that the contract doesn't have a cost center field in it and also considering that we have to update multiple cost-centers (with a distribution criteria based on measurements), we would like to know if someone have this kind of problem before?
We are using an older version of the SAP System(4.7) that doesn't offer as many options as more recent versions (such as 6.0)
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
In this case, instead of Cost centres, Real estate Objects will act as the Cost carriers. No need for Cost centres at all.
Since the Real Estate Objects master data contain Profit centre field, the values posted to Real estate Objects will be automatically carried to the Profit centres as well.
During Periodic processing of Real Estate Contracts, the system will automatically post to the Transfer and Posting. During transfer posting values will be posted from Real Estate Contract to the Real estate Object.
You can track costs and revenues through Real Estate Objects directly, No need for Cost centres at all.
Thanks

Limit PO and Multiple Cost Centers

Using a standard PO type we can split a line on a Purchase Order between multiple Cost centers. However, when we use the Limit PO type (FO), it does not allow multiple cost centers. It only allows us to put in one Cost Center. For instance we want to put in a Limit Purchase Order to cover a year's worth of Electric bills but split that cost between our two production lines (two different cost centers).
Can this be done? Do I just not have it configured correctly? If so, where is that config?

How to use multiple cost centers with internal order for PO

Dear Gurus,
I have one issue.
For indirct purchase with posting over internal order, my client wants to book good reciepts over different cost centers.
Thanks In advance
Regards,
Sameer

Hi Sameer,
For the scenario you have mentioned, you need to check the account assignement at the PR/PO wherein
you can take Cost center as actual object & internal order (statistical) as assignments.
At the time of Goods receipt the system will the automatically post to Cost center with a statistical posting to Internal order.
You have the second option of maintaining account assignment at time of PR/PO as Inetrnal order only (Actual) & then at the month End you can settle the cost to multiple Cost centers by defining the settlement Rule. For Eg. At the time of settlement you can post 20% to Cost center "A", 50% to Cost center "B" & 30% to Cost center "C".
Assign points...if useful.

Assign Account assignment category to multiple cost centers in SRM

Hi All,
We are Implementing SRM 5.5, Extended Classic Scenario for Goods and Services (Stock and Consumables).
I have 400 cost centers. How to assign G/L Accounts to multiple cost centers, in Define G/L Accounts for Account assignment category and Product category?.
I guess, By using BADI - BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT. If this is correct, Do we have to develop any ZTABLE for this. Or only BADI enough?.
Please anyone explain details.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks & Regards,
John.
Edited by: johnmiller465 on Aug 21, 2009 8:32 AM

Hi,
Cost Center is related with user. Setting is attributes in PPOMA_BBP.
G/L account is related with Product category and Account Assignment Category. Setting is in standard customizing table.
If standard customizing is not enough, you can use BBP_DETERMINE_ACCT BADI.

Multiple Cost Centers in PO

When a PO is entered with Multiple Cost Centers, and Account Assignment Cateogry K, the GR Non-Valuated indicator in the item details (Delivery Tab), gets checked automatically. This caused the subsequent GRN to be non valuated as well and no accounting document were posted at the time of GRN. How can this be rectified ? i.e How to enter a PO with multiple cost centers and Acct Assignment Category K, which is valuated and thus costs are allocated at the time of GRN (mvt type 101) ?

Hi,
You GR is not valuated for Cost center PO as GR Non-Valuated Check box selected for cost object K which can be cross checked in OME9 t.code for account assignment category K,if want GR valuated, just remove the check box and create PO, do GR and find the difference.
As you want to post multiple accounts with single cost center, then use t.code:OME9, double click K, and enter 2 in I 1D-Acct assignment field instead of 1 and save. Now create PO, do GR and find the difference.

Capacity evaluation for internal and external workers in one work center

Hi ,
Normally in all Industries you have internal manpower to execute work. Say I have a work center named "Mechanical" , I will have 5 people working 8 Hrs for 5 days in a week. We usually configure this in capacity tab of work center for capacity category "002-Labour". In scheduling tab we configure sceduling data for a capacity category "002-labour"
In many industries , depending on load, many time, external labours are hired to give assistance to internal workers. Technically it is like adding one more capacity category "PER-Person" and adding number external labours there and in scheduling tab adding required configuration for "PER" capacity category
Total capacity for any given day would be available capacity in capacity category -002 + available capacity in PER capacity category.
However in scheduling Tab , scheduling basis can be either 002/PER.
How can we add more scheduling basis to refer to more than one capacity category ?
Any other alternative to above problem statement?

let us say, you have a work "Pump repair" which is done partly by internal workers say 2 people and 1 external labour. Let us assume the number of people in 002-labour is 2 (internal ) and capacity in capacity category (PER) which is external work center is 3 (Total 5 ).
Now if I I leave scheduling basis as blank, then system will calculate scheduling based on 002 capacity category as it is "Major" . But I want system to consider both 002 and +PER .
You are suggesting two line items "Pump Repair internal" and give 2 numbers and duration as 8 control key PM01 . Create another operation "Pump repair External" use control key PM02 (where in scheduling is enabled) where 1 number - 8 Hrs duration is maintained with another work center.
If I maintain 2 different work centers and two different operations, this will work. But for customer this is just one work and capacity evaluation should be based on capacity category 002 and PER .
How to solve this by maintaining one work center , two capacity categories in same work center and maintaining one control key PM01 in operation?

More than one work center for one operation

Hi Experts,
Is it posssible to assign more than one work center to one operation,in a maintenance order?
for example if head fitter and helper has executed maint.activity,how we can do this
Thanks in advance
Regards
Prashil

Dear,
You cannot assign more then one workcenter to a one operation.
But you can assign to a sub operation,i.e to operation one workcenter and to suboperation anotherworkcenter.
For Sub-operation:
Go to task list change >>> Operation tab.
Let say your first operation number is 0010. Then below it for next operation change operation number to 0010 and next to it there is field for sub-operation give there number 0001 or 0010 as per your requirement. Select suitable control key and work center, give description and press enter. your sub operation 0001 will be created for operation 0010.
I hope it will solve your query,
Thanks,
Mohit

Can you have multiple Rates within one Work Center with multiple operations

We have a work center called Pipeshop. Within the Pipeshop we have multiple operations such as Welding, Threading, Cutting, Grooving etc. Each of these operations have a different cost assoicated with them. How can you have different cost for these operations?
Thank you,
Loretta

Hi,
For this case you need to do following activities.
1 Create individual activity accoding to requirement, that will be used for costing.
2 Activity planning w r t work center. In this cost per unit is declaring.
3. Create Routing and modify the default activity type, w r t required activity type, suitable to operations.
Now Order is referring the activity type, refered in Routing rather than, work center.

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.

Can any one please explain hou that is happening

Hi,
You can use the n step dynamic workflows i.e.HEADER Level approval workflow (WS14000133) or ITEM level worklfow (WS14500015) for determing the approvers based on categories like prod category/cost centre etc..You can code the logic for determing the approvers in the BADI "BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI".

How can I use a GL for multiple Cost Centers?

Hello all,
I would appreciate your comments on the following issue. POINTS AVIALABLE. I have setup several cost centers in my Sandbox. The cost centers represent departments that my client has eg Finance & Accounting, Marketing, Shipping/Warehouse.
I have created cost elements for the P&L accounts using OKB2, OKB3, SM35. My client sometimes has situations where they use the same GL for several cost centers. For example, the Freight Expense GL acct is used by Shipping/Warehouse cost center. However, someone in the Accounting/Finance cost center could also use that same GL account as well if they were shipping some documents. I cant use OKB9, since the GL is not used exclusively by the Shipping/Warehouse Cost Center.
If, for example, we create a Sales order, I want to be able to specify somewhere that the freight for that SO must go to the Shipping/Warehouse Cost center. Is there a field in an SO, Delivery document or billing document where we can tell the system that this freight is being used for Shipping/Warehouse cost center?
I know if the Accounting Cost center uses the Freight GL, we can specify the Cost Center in FB50, so that is not a big concern.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Sunil,
Thanks for your response. I tried go to VL02N and selected the line item and then went to 'GOTO'-- 'Header' --'Financial Processing'. I don't see a field 'Cost Center'. All I see are the following:
Billing block
Billing status
Totals status
Paym.guar.proc.
Financ.doc.no.
Opening date
Validity end
Billing Date
Billing date
Depreciation
PresentDate
Number of days
But if I select the item, won't the whole cost of the item be sent to the cost center? I am trying to just get the Freight charged on the item to get posted to the Shipping/Warehouse Cost center.
Please advise.
Thanks.
