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

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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".
Also refer the foll link for more info:

Dispute Case - Write off multiple cost centers

Hi Experts,
I have a different requirement on automatic writing off of dispute cases. There is one collection specialist who handles multiple location customers. Each location/branch is created as profit center and in each location/branch there are many customers. So if there is a dispute case which needs to be written off for Customer A in Location A, the cost center needs to be A which belongs to Location A, similarly for other locations too, where ever the customers belongs to it needs to written off to that partcular location cost center.
In settings of automatic write

sorry experts, fat fingure, accidentally pressed the enter key, here is the continuation of the message.
In customizing for automatic write off, i dont have the option except by person responsible and cost center. Location/branch is also equal to sales office which is assigned to the customer master.
Is there a way we can address this requirement, could you guide which direction i need to move.
Thanks in advance
Best Regards,
Jen

Multiple Cost Center Change Batch Upload

Hi,
I need to update the data of multiple cost centers. I have tried using BDC/ transaction KS02 and BAPI_COSTCENTER_CHANGEMULTIPLE. However, I encounter problems with cost centers with different validity periods when changing the heirarchy of cost centers. Your input will be highly appreciated.

Hi Christian,
Updating cost centers with single validity period say, 10/25/05-12/31/9999, isn't a problem. However, when changing the heirarchy area, CSKS-KHINR, of cost centers with multiple validity periods, meaning with intervals, i.e. 08/01/2005-09/30/2005 and 11/01/2005 - 12/31/9999, neither BDC nor BAPI works. With BAPI, even the gap where the cost center does not exist is updated while in the BDC of tcode KS02, it gets stuck.
I hope I made the problem clear to you. Hoping you could help.

How to post depreciation to multiple cost centre?

Hi
In the asset master there is only one cost centre for each asset. This cost centre determines the cost centre to post to for depreciation expense. Is there a way to post to multiple cost centre?
Hope someone can advise.
Thank you.

Hi,
1) Substitution rules would help you.
2) Through distribution or assessment allocate the depreciation expenses to multiple cost centers.
Thanks,
Murali
