Need to take cost center assessment cost to product

Dear All,
We have product costing activated in our system. We are taking Raw material , packing material cost from Material master. where as activity cost based on different activity type defined on relevant work center / resource based on certain formula.
Now for some other expenses like power / utility cost, we have created assessment cycle, through which we assess the cost to relevant cost centers based on certain base (SKF).
Now our business requires this cost to load on product cost which is laid on cost centers through assessment.
Pls suggest the way to achieve the same through product costing.
Thanks & Regards,
Taral Patel

Dear Ajay,
Thanks for reply.
As per my understanding below mentioned points I need to consider for costs which is coming on cost center through assessment (based on SKF) as I want to take them to my product :
I need to create seperate activity types for those expenses which I want to take onto my product.
I need to assign them onto my work center / resource.
I need to create a Splitting Structure in OKES and assign respective secondary cost element to the relevant above newly created activity type.... With this, the amount in secondary cost ele would be divided by the relevant activity type ONLY
(Choose splitting rule/method as "!2" i.e. Activity Qty in OKES)
I need to assign my production cost centers (through which I want to transfer cost to my product) to this splitting structure in OKEW.
I need to map sec. cost ele. of above created act. type to co. comp structure.
Suppose I have one power plant at my plant campus. I am distributing this power cost to my 4 different plant (existed on campus) on their respective cost centers Ctr1, ctr2, ctr3, ctr4.
Now as per above understanding when I can see this newly created activity cost to my product cost?
For that I need to assess power cost to all 4 plants and then running my product cost with these newly created activity types?
Pls correct me in my understanding.
Thanks & Regards,

Cost Center Assessment - cost element type 42

Hi dear All,
I got issues running KSU5 to allocate planned costs under cost element type 42. we were expecting that all planned costs (primary and secondary(cost element type 42)) could be allocated by credit cost center (actual). only primary costs are being allocated.
Scenario:
cost center planning (kp06) 1000 currencies in primary cost element in cost center A
running planning assessment - KSUB: cycle uses assessment cost element (type 42): sender cost center A, receiver cost center B (all planned values). assessment cyles posts 1000 currencies from CC A to cost center B
planning in cost center B (primary cost elements through kp06, 500 currencies) total planning 1000 from previous assessment with CE type 42, and 500 from cc planning in a primari CE.
by the period end closing, tcode KSU5 (allocation actual) is running. new cycle created, based on planned values (origini not actual, but planned amounts).
we were expecting to allocate 1500 currencies from cost center B to cost center C (using 100% and through assessment cost element)).
result: credit actual cost center B = 500 currencies debit actual cost center C = 500 currencies.
1000 currencies pending on cost center B (planned).
do you know why SAP is not allocating the 1000? even if those 1000 were planned in cost center B by assessement, a new allocation cycle should be able to post them or not?
thank you for your outcome.

Hi dear Ajay, thank you for your answer.
first, I understand the difference between KSUB and KSU5, in the defined scenario, we have both. planned values, become actual with the MEC activities. business definition.
regarding the cycle, I have setup assessment cost element so we can get all planned lines posted as 1.
On sender tab I have only the cost center. no cost element defined.
receiver its cost center.
furthermore, i've not setup allocation structure, so all cost elements should be allow, there is no restriction on this.
the only difference is: planned costs which their origin is already an assessment are not being assessed again.
I can show you the print screens with cycles setup if it helps
best regards

Concept of CO- PA cost center assessment

Hi Experts,
I would like to ask if you could supply me with more info about the concept of cost center cost assessment in COPA. Is this a standard procedure that must done? I am having my 1st SAP implem. and have been preparing too hard to get much info. as I can take about COPA. I have understanding about value fields an characteristics BUT I am having a hard time to understand cost center allo. and why do is there a need to do it (or maybe not). Aren't they supposed to be an automatic process (distribution of figures to COPA reports)? Thanks and I would understand if the question may sound a little unclear.

Hi,
The cost center assessment to copa comes in places only for allocating the common costs.
Generally, we do allocate the common costs from the common cost center to the respective user cost centers in the overhead accounting.
If the need is to recognise the common overheads directly in COPA, then instead of reallocating the costs with in cost center accounting, we directly transfer the costs to copa thru costcenter assessment to copa.

Cost Center Assessment to COPA

Hi,
I have done Cost Center assessment to characteristics "Company Code" and "Product". System has even generated COPA documnet for costing based profitability analysis.
However, in report developed through Report Painter(KE32), the value field for which the assessment got posted is not getting displayed.
Can any one guide in this regard.
Thanks in advance
Sudhakar

Hi Sudhakar,
When you do the cost center assessment in COPA, you have given 2 characteristicsi.e product , company code and thru one value field.
When designing report in ke32 (report) and form ke35(form), we will give certain characteristics, so check what are the parameters has been given in the report, bcz values flown thru copa assessment will be available only in compaby code and product not for any other characteristics. I guess you have characteristics in report other than these two.
I hope this clarifies.

Error in cost center assessment integration with FI

We just upgraded our test system with support pack SAPKH50020 and when we test cost center assessment, we are getting the error message "For document type SA, an entry is required in field Reference"
The same process is working in our production system, which is under support pack SAPKH50010. We are using the same doc type, and the configuration for this doc type is the same as in our test system.
OSS told us that the only solution is to change the doc type configuration or use a user exit to populate the Reference field.    However, I don't understand why this process is working in the old support pack and not in the new one.
Has anybody encountered the same issue? If so, how was it resolved?
thank you,
Lanny

Hi Phaneendra,
Thank you for your response. But the real question is why is this process different between support pack SAPKH50010 and SAPKH50020.   In support pack SAPKH50010, we also uses document type SA with reference field required, but the cost center assessment is able to post to it without any customization.    Now, in support pack SAPKH50020, this no longer works.    So I'm just wondering if any of you have encountered similar issue after upgrading the support pack.
thanks
Lanny

Cost Center Assessment to Cost Hierarchy based on Actual Consumption error

Assessment is set up:
SENDER: Cost Center: Overhead Expenses (values in expense accounts)
RECEIVER: Top Node of Cost Object Hierarchy (material consumption has been posted to two objects - related account has value and quantity fields)
Segment is set up:
Sender Rules: Posted Amounts
Share:100%
Actual value origin
Receiving tracing factor:
Receiver rule: Variable Portions
Var. portion type: Actual Consumption
No Scaling
Assumption is that "Var. portion type: Actual Consumptions" means the quantity in the consumption account on the receiver from the inventory posting. Is this true?

Responsible cost center vs Cost Center

I was wondering what cost center takes prevalence over the other when creating a maintenance order the Responsible cost center vs Cost Center. The Functional location has its own Cost center “Responsible cost center” as well as the Work Centers that are assigned to people “Cost Center”. When creating Maintenance orders I have orders that use the FL work center sometimes and other times it uses the Work Center. I really need the FL to take priority over the WC if that is possible. Any suggestions?

Hi Lynn,
There is a bit confusion in your query.
To make it clear, Responsible cost centre comes from work centre for operations, where the cost is calculated based on the activity / cost centre assignment in KP26.
Cost centre in Technical object will be responsible for settlement. When the settlement rule is created, it will be assigned as receiver object and work order cost is settled to this cost centre.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Cost Center Budget-Cost element wise

Dear SAP Gurus,
My client needs to create cost center budgets cost element wise. For e.g. Salary paid (code 430000) in Development Cost center (code 9901).
We now use KPZ2 to create cost center budgets and KP06 for cost element planning. Kindly guide.
Regards,
Siva

Hi Ramesh,
Thank you for the reply. I did suggest them to use KP06 but they require some sort of validation when posting an expense (cost element) to and cost center.
For e.g. If the travel budget for Marketing cost center is $1000, they need the system to prevent posting once that amount is exceeded.
Any help in this regard would be appreciated.
Regards,
Siva

Cost center/work cost center

What is the difference between work cost cneter and cost center(cost center capture the cost via cost elements).but what abour work cost centers,

Dear Madhu,
COST CENTER INFORMATION:
Cost Center (KS01 - Create, KS02 - Change, KS03 - Display)
Definition of a Cost Center:
Master data and Configuration settings found in Controlling...
"An organizational unit within a controlling area that represents a defined location of cost incurrence."
The definition can be based on:
Functional requirements
Allocation criteria
Physical location
Responsibility for costs
WORK CENTER INFORMATION:
The following is information on how to create a work center and use it. If you need further information simply hit F1 Help in the application to explain the use of the main fields.
Work Center (CR01 - Create, CR02 - Change, CR03 - Display)
Using the data maintained for a work center, you can
- Determine which machines or people are to be used in the operations
- Calculate costs, capacities and dates for the operations
Transaction: OP42 - Allows you to Configure the default value for Work Center during the initial creation.
After creating many work center in the Routing, the users might want to check what materials and components allocation have been updated with this work center. You can used this program [Work Center in Routing - Search through all the routing for the material and component allocation used (|http://www.sap-basis-abap.com/abap008.htm]).
The standard program transaction CA80, checks where the work center was used in the routing. However, it did not list the components allocation for the work center.
Pooled Capacity field - When a production order 1234567 has the capacity requirement on its work center Wxxxxx. It means it has the requirement on pooled capacity Pxxxxx. If more than one work center shared this pooled capacity, the requirement (transaction CM01) will be shown on all the work center with the SAME shared pooled capacity.
I hope this helps to clarify the purpose of the Cost Center and Work Center and how they can be used.
Kind Regards,
Brendan

COPA derivation for thecombination of Cost center and Cost element/GL accou

Hi Gurus,
In COPA derivation using KEDR i am trying to make a derivation for the
combination of Cost center and Cost element. Here i got following problems
While posting FI document using t.code FB50 system not automatically
updating the fields Cost center and cost element in Profitability
segment. Hence system not posting COPA document. How can i make this
derivation? Is there any note should i apply regarding these.
How can i create cost element as characteristic.
If i configure derivation for the combination of Cost center and cost
element will it be posted with copa document for postings or automatic
postings from MM,HR and FI
Pls provide me solution at the earliest.
Thanks and Best regards,

Hi Murali
Thanks for update
I explain my req clearly
For me segment is Distribution channel field (EXPORT and DOMESTIC)
If GL account is 1000-2000     always                      Export
If GL account is 2001-3000    and Cost center is     X then Export.
If GL account is 2001-3000    and Cost center is     Y then Domestic.
Based on above REQ i am making derivation using KEDR T.code.
These postings should work for all modules postings such as MM, HR also.
Actually this should work automatically and after saving the transaction we should have copa document also.
But problem is in source fields of derivation we have GL account (HKONT) and Cost element (KSTAR). I am making derivation using either of these.
But after posting document system not giving COPA document.
I found the reason is at GL postings we are giving input to GL account (HKONT) but we took in KEDR source field as GL account (SAKNR). GL account (HKONT) is not updating GL account (SAKNR) field in PSEG screen in Fb50. Even i try with cost element (KSTAR), GL account (HKONT) is not updating this in PSEG screen in fb50.
If GL account (HKONT) updates either GL account (SAKNR) or cost element (KSTAR) at the time of posting FB50
Or
If we have the field GL account (HKONT) as source field in KEDR i hope my problem
Get solved.
If you want further info pls give me your mobile number then i ll call you
