Regards
N.Raju

Hi
I think you cannot use Network as Statstical cost object like WBS Elements, because you can allot the budget only WBS level. for Network order you will not able allot any budegts in STD SAP.
Thanks

    Diagnosis
    You have not defined a CO account assignment for an account that is relevant to cost accounting.

    Account 60210 is defined as a cost element.
    This means that you must always specify a CO account assignment.

  • Account Assignment - Derivation of Cost Object

    Hi All,
    On doing payment through transaction F-58, automatic line item of exchange rate gain n loss (P&L Account) is added automaticallly due to configuration done in FBKP -> Excng Rate Difference. The problem is, is there a possibilty to derive cost object which is used in Invoice of which the payment is being processed.
    Regards,
    Nayab

    Thanks Eli for your reply.
    Yes, I found the same i.e. the best practice is to assign CO through OKC9 on particular G/L Accounts. The issue is reports in Joint Venture Accounting "GJRG_5J1B" that shows all cost on particular job (cost center, wbs, network etc.) doesn't potray the right result after settlement of network. For instance
    Invoice is booked and cost element is charged on Network
    CJI3 show all amount
    GJRG_5J1B show all related amount.
    When payment is processed and in automatic RXD line item, constant Cost Center of Other Income is provided
    CJI3 doesn't show RXD amount
    GJRG_5J1B show RXD amount
    On settling Network, i.e. Roll up its cost to WBS level following happens
    CJI3 is settled, gross amount is 0.
    GJRG_5J1B show 0 as well other than RXD amount which still needs to be settled.
    The solution we found is to charge automatic line item to particular cost object so it will get settled while rolling up network amount to WBS
    The other solution is to settle such cost at period end but to do such activity I'm in search of standard way.
    Thank you again for your response.

  • Use of PS-Module: Cost object discussion

    Hello,
    i have a question regarding the use of PS-Module.
    I would like to know if in your company you experienced any problem (in controlling or somewhere else) when posting to a variety of different cost objects. For example: wbs-element, sales order, internal order and network.
    SAP is offering a lot of possibilities how to customize a system. That means i could run similar processes with different assignment to cost objects. I would like to know how you think about that topic and what experience you made.

    Hi,
    As you rightly said the SAP is providing different different cost objects to be posted.
    based on the company requirement we have to choose the process.

  • Assign Cost Object to Bal. Sheet Account???

    Hi experts;
         I found at my customer site that they set the fields of WBS element, Cost Center, Profit Center and Network are applicable with Bal. Sheet accounts at the time of Document entry like F-02.
         When I discussed with them that the B/S accounts should not be linked to any cost object and cost objects are only for the P/L accounts they said yes that is right in general, but they do that with some certain accounts like the Accrued Revenue to know exactly how much is expected to be collected from each project.
         But also as far I know that through the Document Split function on system I can get such result because if we assigned a Cost Obj. to a P/L account the system assign it to the other line of the document entry if it is B/L account, but I did not practice the Doc. Split before.
         So can someone kindly advice wither such process is correct or not? and if not, does it has any wrong impact if they insisted to do it? And does the Doc. Split can really help in such matter?
    Many thanks in advance;
    Best regards;
    Ahmad Mahmud;

    Hi Ahmad Mahmud,
    The below is taken from SAP Note 75978 - Cost element type 90
    "Cost elements of category 90 were introduced with 3.0 to enable an availability control on an internal order assigned to a fixed asset even with directly activated asset acquisitions. This functionality is guaranteed by SAP and will be enhanced by the planning of these cost elements in Release 4.0.
    The check, however, that cost elements of category 90 can only be created for asset reconciliation accounts, has only been made since Release 3.0F. Before, it was possible to create any balance sheet accounts as cost element of category 90. Since cost elements created this way were not covered by functionality provided by SAP, various errors may occur when you post to these cost elements."
    As you can see SAP does not support cost element type 90.
    However I used them on e few projects and never have any problems.
    Just to give you an example of the reasons they are sometimes needed:
    - you need to record production quantity in CO-PA. You will create cost element type 90 for your inventory account. Every GR from production order will update quantity in CO-PA.
    The question about splitting is quite ineteresting.
    Maybe one of the NewGL experts can help you here.

  • Error while doing MR11 as enter Profitability segmet as Cost object

    Hi All,
    While doing MR11, we noticed a error message (ZC - 001) as "Enter Profitability segment as Cost object for Revenue and COGS posting".
    The specified Material account is created as Cost element (CE Category 11) and in OKB9 configuration this cost element is choosed (ticked) with the option "profitability segment". Also there is no substitution rule to derive profitability segment in OBBH substitutions.
    However there is a validation (GGB0), where the above specified Material account is included in the range of accounts in the Prerequisite, and Check as "Profitability segment is > (greater than) 0000000001 and with the message maintained as "Enter Profitability segment as Cost object for Revenue and COGS posting".
    Can any please help why this error has come at the earliest.
    Thanks & Regards
    Karun

    Hi Eli,
    Thank you very much for reply.
    I hope the note 184987 is not applicable in our case as the Field status of specified Material account does not have required entry for Profitability segment.
    Can you please let me know if we have entry in OKB9 and existance of entry in Validation creates the problem and throws the above error message?
    With regard to other note 134484 which you have specified on "error in Account assignment check in MM transactions" says "A detailed default account assignment (for example profitability segment) was defined in Transaction OKB9. However, the profitability segment is not set up correctly for goods movements: the characteristics material, plant, business area are missing. A later check of the profitability segments against material, plant and business area then generates an error message since the profitability segment is inconsistent".
    Is there any way to confirm whether this situation is leading to our error before implementing this note.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Automatic creation of Cost Object owner in work flow

    Hello Experts,
    Business requirement background is
    SREQ Contact person just enter cost object and submit for approval.In all cost object cases he can save the service order and submit. After SREQ FRA reviewer approval, before workflow notification mail is sent to cost object owner, system will check if the user exist in X92 system or not. If user is not exist, based on GDDB id, automatically the user will get created in X92.
    The folw of Service Order is as follows:-
    Service order creator----> Service Provider (SPROV) FRA reviewer -
    > Service Requestor (SREQ) Contact Person -
    > Service Requestor (SREQ) FRA person -
    > Service type owner/Cost Object Owner
    And The solution will be as follows:
    1). Once the SREQ FRA reviewer approves the SO, then the notification mail be send to the Cost Object Owner
    2). Here system should check GDDB ID of the Cost Object Owner, is it exist in X92 system or not.
    3). If GDDB ID is not there in X92 system, then on the basis of the GDDB ID, the system should automatically create the SAP user ID for the CO Owner and an email is to be send to the CO Owner for the approval of the SO along with the user id details.
    4). If GDDB ID exists in X92, the SO will be submitted for further approvals.
    How to Customize the steps 2 & 3 that i mentioned in the solution?
    Any help form experts will be appreciated and rewarded
    Thanks in advance....
    Satya

    Hello Ajay,
    Thank you for the response.
    But my requirement is not to populate cost objest.
    It is the approval flow. The reviewer person will check and add the cost objects to the service order and send that Service Order for the final approval i.e.. Cost Object Owner.
    So here my requirement is the System has to create that Cost Object Owners Automaticlly
    How can i achieve this?

  • Cost of Goods Sold - Cost Element asking Cost Object

    Dear All,
    We have defined a G/L account :500000 (Cost of Goods Sold - Field Status Group:G030).
    Normally we should not create it as a cost element,but when CRM consultant does a transaction ,system asks that GL account :500000 not created as a cost element,Hence that time I have created as a cost element.
    Now every time ,system is asking for cost object for this cost element.
    As you all know that ,we can maintain in OKB9,but in our scenario,we have more than 3500 Cost Centers,which is not possible.
    Can anybody share as how to resolve this issue?
    Regards
    Subbu

    Thanks Mr Ajay for understanding my question.
    As I told mentioned in my initial question that  I have created the GL:500000 (COGS) when CRM/SD issues the stock for delivery.
    What my FI done is that the same GL (500000) is assigned both in GBB-VAX and GBB-VAY as per the client requirement.
    Now suggest me as how to come out from this situation?
    If I need to do Validation ,request you to give your guidance as how to do it as I never done.
    Thnaks in advance.

  • Movement 543 F always take sales order as cost object

    Dear sap expert,
    I run MTO scenario.
    In one of my step before a product become finish good, the semi finish good need to sent to subcon vendor (the material need another process outside company production line).
    The good issue journal is happen when we good receipt finish good from vendor.(FI team make it that way).
    When posting good issue, MM use movement type 543 F.
    The GL number for issuing material is 300196.
    The problem is , movement type 543 F always take sales order as cost object even though I already delete the sales order when good issue to subcon vendor using tcode MIGO (good issue to vendor).
    And I already settiing PA tranf structure of the GL account to a value field and also already setting OKB9 so the GL can automatically post to profi segment (COPA).
    MM team also already set default setting  layout 543 F for sales order as SUPPRESS.
    But, still when run MIGO, the system still take sales order as cost object not to COPA (profit segment).
    But, if i use 543 E with same dafault setting layout as 543 F, it works (the GL is post to COPA not sales order).
    How can this happen?
    What should I do to make the GL post to COPA not sales order when using movement type 543 F?
    Please kindly help.

    Hi Anu
    If you are in MTO scenario and your sales order is defined as a cost object, then the system behaviour is correct..
    Check if the following settings apply in your case...
    1. Go to sale order, procurement tab
    2. Check whats the req type
    3. Go to OVZH and check whats the req class assigned to this req type
    4. Go to OVZG and check whats the acount assignment cateory in req class
    5. The account assignment catg would be having consumption posting field as E

  • Cost Object in FI document with WBS Settlement

    Hi,
    I'm testing WBS settlement to G/L account which is cost element. I made some substitution rules because I met an error message saying that "Cost Object is needed"
    As a result I can settle WBS to cost elements such as COGS etc. I got a FI document, CO document and PCA document. Everything looked so nice.
    Suddenly I noticed, however, that there is no such a thing like cost object on FI document. When I look up the FI document using FB03, I found that the PS-POSID was empty. Of course, CO documents have Cost Object.
    What I wonder is as follows
    1. Is this standard? Is it natural that FI document with CO doc has no cost object on it?
    2. If I need to use FI document to determine WBS element, what is the best to way? Is it possible to enter Cost Object such as wbs element in FI document during settlement?
    Thank you for your kind advice in advance.

    Kang,
    In the message which you got, the word 'Cost Object' refered to a cost center, or order, or any other cost object.
    However, there is another account assignment object with the name 'Cost Object', which was not filled in the FI document. That is normal.
    Right now I don't have much information in the a/c assignment object 'Cost Object'.
    Regards,
    Vishal.

  • Error in Distribution of Actual cost in Cost Object Hierarchy

    Hi,
    I am getting an error while doing the Distribution of Actual cost from Cost Object Node to the assigned Order.
    Cost element/origin 630000 could not be distributed
    Message no. KZ468
    Diagnosis
    The cost element/ origin 630000 could not be distributed because there are no target costs for this cost element/origin or for cost element group CO-PC-TOT.
    Procedure
    Check the calculated target costs and cost element group CO-PC-TOT assigned to the target cost version.
    Procedure for System Administration
    Proceed
    Although the Cost element is Present in cost element group CO-PC-TOT.
    One more information, the order  that is assigned in Cost Object Hierarchy is of CO-Product orders.
    I have searched in the forum but I havent got any solution.
    Kindly help.
    regards
    Kami

    Hi,
    Concerning error message KZ 468, it has the following origin: In the  customizing of the cost object category (transaction okz5), check if the 'single object selection' is set to 'Control through variance key'. If you consider the F1-Help for this option you will find the following  explanation:
    if the indicator Control through variance key is turned on, the production order, process order, or product cost collector can only be assigned to the cost object hierarchy if:
    -> The material is assigned to the lowest node of the hierarchy
    -> No variance key is specified in the order
    The important point is, that orders that have a variance key are excluded from the cost distribution.
    In transaction KKF8 you will find that all these orders do indeed have  a variance key. Hence, all of these orders are included, there are no target costs from the orders and the costs cannot be distributed. Thus the error message kz 468.
    Please consider that and check the customizing again.
    Not having target costs in the distribution indicates either a wrong set up of the hierarchy or, more likely, no valid cost estimate for a certain material of a production order or product cost collector could be found.
    Did you check whether for this cost element/origin target costs exist, and also for the cost element group? If not the message KZ468 is correct and probably the cost element group has to be maintained properly.
    The distribution of actual costs calculates target costs on-the-fly and the variance calculation does not have to be carried out before. Quite the opposite than the variance calculation requires the distribution as a preceding step. Furthermore it is not sufficient that one cost element is in a cost element group but the interval where the cost element has been assigned to has to have some target costs. Otherwise this won't work and message KZ468 is issued.
    regards
    Waman
