Store an alternative cost center in Payroll Accounting Customizing. Additionally, you can check why no data can be posted to the master cost center of the employee, and take corresponding steps.
I have given the substitute cost center but still getting the error.

Hi,
System is asking alternative cost centre for your company code.
Please create the a new cost centre, then assign to your company code in the table of TKA3G.
Or else go to path:
Payroll-> Payroll india or singapore or usa->Posting to financial accounting->Activities in the AC-System->Set up fixed cost postings and substitute cost centers->Set up substitute cost centers .
For each country text will vary. but fixed substitute cost center name will be appear.
Ask to your FI guys then they will create a new cost centre.
For fixed cost centre assign cost centre to your cost element.(V_TKA30)
Good luck

Please help me to resolve " No substitute cost center mainta

We are working on SAP 4.6c version.
In my project,HR and FI servers are different.
I am facing a issue which pertains to HR-FI -ALE Integration and that error is " No substitute cost center maintained" this error encountered when i am trying to do posting for payroll.
We do not have a substitute cost center in our project.From HR perspective, cost center is having a relationship with the position and in turn in Info type 0001 personnel number is linked to Cost center and the position.I have checked the validity of position,cost center and employee's start date and end date.I haven't found any discrepancy on the validity periods.
Hence please suggest me ways to overcome this issue.

Ajit

How to maintain default cost center at House Bank Account level for Bank charges

Hello All - We have 4 Bank accounts and all of them are assigned to the same transaction type.
As of now, we have OKB9 set up maintained for Bank charges at Co Cd level and it is posted to the same GL A/c.
Now, My requirement is that I need to have different Cost center maintained for 2 of the 4 House Bank Accounts.
Can you pls let me know if any possibility.
Thanks

Interesting requirement. This can be achieved through Search String as suggested by Mr. Shanid.
Try to find a text in the note to payee line for bank charges for creating a search string.
For Example. See below note to payee line and assume this line for bank charges.
16,455,130155,0,5/3 BANKCARD SYS CH,,5/3 BANKCARD SYS CHARGBACKS.
Identify a text which should always come with this line for every EBS file for bank charges. Assume here "BANKCARD".
Now go to T-code OTPM.
Click on create
Srch strg name: Bank Charges
Description: Bank Charges
Search String: BANKCARD ( Based on this text system will search your not to payee line)
Once you press enter, you will get mapping details on the left side with target field "BANKCARD". Now remove the BANKCARD from target field and put there cost center which you will post for one house bank. Save the data.
Now move to second step.
Click on Search String Use.
Put your company code,
House bank(mandatroy in your case).
Interpretation Algorithm( same as you maintained in OT83 for posting rule with external transaction type).
Search String: BANKCARD.
Target Field: Cost Center.
Save.
Sorry I am not getting option to attach screenshot in SCN now. Dont know why.
Let us know if you have any doubts.
Hi Mr. Shanid,
Correct me if I am wrong.

Mohammed

Cost center determination

Dear SAP gurus,
In my present client the requirement is to determine cost centers based on performing unit. As we know in NCOP the Cost center is determined by Requesting unit /Requesting nursing unit.
I tried for several devlopments but the cost center maintained in NCOP always prevail.Is there any solution to meet this requirement.
Thanks !!

Hi
There are some points where you could substitute the cost center.
You have de user exit NBILL000 (go SMOD) .. y never used it.
Another option is, and I use it very often, is to use the SD user exits of include RV60AFZC, form USEREXIT_FILL_VBRK_VBRP.
Just do your own determination and replace the field vbrp-kostl.
I hope it helps.
With best regards

Exchange rate difference KDM in MIRO - cost center used

We have recently testing to setup KDM Exchange rate difference posting in LIV and encounter the problem of cost center cannot be determine for PO with account assignment A (For asset) and P (for Project).
The question is how does the system determine the cost center for the exchange rate different account? It doesn't take the default cost center from the configuration in OKB9 but extract the cost center from PO Account Assignment - for Asset Account assignment, there is no cost center in PO and thus it is giving a error of 'Field Cost Ctr is a required field....'
Any help appreciated.

Dear Murali: Yes, GL account is maintained in OBYC for KDM transaction, I am following the OSS note 980402 for the setup (ECC6 system). The GL account say is 60000005. In OB09, we have maintained the entry for this account 60000005 to have a default cost center (e.g. 1000). This cost center does not get defaulted when MIRO posting is done with exchange rate difference. Instead, the cost center is obtained from the PO (e.g. the account assignment in PO have cost center 5000). But for certain account assignment (e.g. 'P' for WBS and 'A' for Asset), there is no cost center maintained in PO account assignment and thus in MIRO i get an error message as mentioned above.
Dear SAPFICO: check the asset master also, althrough there is a cost center in Asset Master, it does not get extracted into MIRO postings.

Best practice for HR while cost center is blocked

Hi Experts,
Back ground
Cost center is blocked because the legal entity is demerged.
Some of the employees of the outgoing company are retained in existing legal entity.
Their current cost centers are of the existing entity.
All the historical costcenters of the outgoing entity are blocked.
Situation
While there is a retro payment the system is rejecting as the old cost centers are blocked.
Workarounds used
Open the cost center for posting and then manually transfer the amount into desired cost center and then re-close the Costcenter.
SAP Suggestion
Use substitute cost center so that all costs are colloected their and do the manual transfer of cost to desired ones.
Could not use the same as business has to do the same manual activity.
Solution
Taken access key into the posting driver to change the cost center to current while there is an occurence of blocked cost center.
Requirement
Want to use the standard posting driver by removing all customization in upgrade.
Now the Qtn is
What is the best business process followed by FI and HR guys in organization to handle such scenarios?

Old question, but I have the same problem at this moment.
We also are looking into 2 solutions:
1. use the substitution costcenters
2. Create a custom function in our payroll scheme and modify the costcenter during payroll-run. Normally the costcenter will eb saved in the clusters and will be read from the clusters in the fico-run.
Anybody some good advice for this?

Depreciation posting for Book Assets to Cost Center

Dear Friends,
We have upgraded from 4.70 version to ECC6.0 EHP4. Fixed Assets was not
implemented in 4.70. Now we are implementing Fixed Assets module in
ECC6.0.
We have copied the Standard Chart of Deprecition 0IN from Client 000
and renamed the same as BCLL: Chart of depreciation: BCLL.
I defined asset masters and maintained Cost center and Bus Area in the
Time Dependent area.
I maintained the configuration in Transaction Code ACSET for the
default Cost Center.
But while posting depreciation i.e. AFAB, the system is throwing error
and not posting to the Cost center defined in the asset master.
Hence I am maintaining the Default Cost center in OKB9 for depreciation
posting.
Please help me in resolving the issue.
Best Regards
Srinivas A

Dear Friends,
As pointed out by you, I have already activated the Account Assignment KOSTL and also maintained the Account Assignment Object in ACSET but the system is throwing the error "Account 4850 requires an assignment to a CO object", Message Number KI235.
The system is not posting to the Cost Center maintained in the Asset Master record.
Hence I posted to the Cost Center maintained in OKB9 but I understand this is not the correct appraoch.

Profit Center to be picked from Equipment Cost center in Maintenance Order

Hi All
We are not maintianing any costcenter in work center and only maintaning the cost center in equipment master.
So when i create the maintenance order, profit center is not picked up in Additional Data Tab from Cost center maintained in equipment master.
Please provide your valuable sugesstions.
Regards
Praveen

Hi,
The profit center is derived from the cost center of the responsible work center when the order is first created. If a cost center is not available then I expect the profit center cannot be automatically filled on the order. The user can manually enter a value.
The exit IWO10005 is frequently used to determine the profit center. You may want to look at implementing some custom logic there.

Subsititute cost center, profit center, BA in maintenance order Addit.Tab

Hello.
I wonder if it's possible to substitute cost center, profit center, BA in maintenance order Addit.data Tab
according to the WBS element
I think, in maintenance order Addit data Tab (IW31),
cost center and profit center is coming from work center.
and business area is coming from equipment or functional location master which I input
But the thing is WBS has that informaiotn(cost center, profit center, BA ) as well.
and since we need to use the same information(cost center, profit center, BA )
so Users need to change cost center, profit center, BA after checking WBS element information(CJ13)
so, is there any way to substitute(or change) cost center, profit center, BA automatically
in maintenance order Addit.data TAB, when I input WBS element and press enter key?
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thank you for your reply
Could you tell me more how to have a look at IWO10010 Maint. order
(Cust. enhancement for determining WBS element)
I'm kinda new in ABAP so please help me

Search Help for Cost center

Hi All,
I have 2 questions
1) we dont have any default cost center maintained any where in the org-structure (PPOMA_BBP), howeverwhenever I go for shopping I can see a cost center along with GL account, ( I know GL acct is coming from "determine GL account for prod-cat" settings in IMG), but what about cost center where is it coming from ??
2) second, when we do search help for cost center's in shopping application, we are able to see all cost centers from the back end which I guess is good, but we can see even those cost centers which are blocked!!!, why is this happening ??,
Thanks.

Hello,
For First::
In general the CO Area (here: cost center) is derived from R/3 Backend Enterprise
Structure and should be re-determined if another acc. objects is
entered that belongs to a different CO Area. Please also check the
settings in R/3 Backend IMG, path:
->Enterprise Structure ->Assignment ->Controlling
->Assign company code to controlling area
The company code is assigned to the CO Area through the following
assignment:
->Materials Management
->Assign purchasing organization to company code
The CO Area is in general the organizational object in
highest (CO) level. Assignments to other MM/CO objects are located
in lower Enterprise hierarchy level. Hence, the CO Area does not
change if a different CO object of a lower level (here: cost center)
is assigned to a SRM document.
For Second::
The only possibility I see is to set the message to error message in
the customizing in the backend. The message number is KI 170. When you
look at the long text of this message in transaction SE91 in the
backend, you will find the description where to look in the customizing.
When you have set this message to ERROR, then no purchase order will be
created in the backend. Instead the shopping basket gets the status
'ERROR' and the administrator will recieve a work item in his inbox.
Then he can check the backend and either post the purchase orders again
after solving the problem, or he can delete the shopping baskets.
Please check the note for more infos or the documentation.
Setting the message KI 170 to error message will solve your problem.
See note 333136. I would think that if you create
a PO directly in the backend if you do not have the message configured
as and error you will be able to create the PO.
I hope this information helps.
Kind regards,
Gaurav

Substitute Cost Centers

Hello,
I need help with substitution cost centers.
Our positions default a cost center on IT0001. This is the employee's master cost center. We also use IT0027. This is where we want the expenses to go to.
Our issue is this: If a cost center is blocked or closed it fails during FI posting. I was reading other threads and it was suggested to use a substitute cost center set up.
I have done this in our test environment and it is not working. We blocked an employee's cost center (the one on IT0027) and added a substitute cost center via the IMG. When I ran the PC00_M99_CIPE again, it still errored out.
What am I missing?
Please help since this is a big issue for us.
Thanks,
Suparna

I think FI will write substitution rule for your original cost center and then whatever posting you will direct to original cost center will get posted to substitute cost center.
I am always referring your previous threads about this and I don't think you will be doing retro every pay period to your blocked cost center.
Regardless, just run query to see the EE's in your original cost center (of course this will not be useful to FI) to do some audit on HCM side. Posting program will take care of everything.
I hope this helps.

Can we Maintain two Cost Center Hierarchies in one Controlling Area

Dear All,
My client established a 2nd plant and he wants seperate Cost Center Hierarchy, cost center groups and cost centers for that 2nd Plant. Can we maintain two cost center hierarchies in one controlling area.
Please suggest me steps related to this configuration.
Regards,
Balaji Bhonsle

Hi,
Standard hierarchy is a tree structure containing all the cost centers in a controlling area from the Controlling standpoint. You can create a separate node assigned to Standard hierarchy for your new Plant. You can have only one Std.hierarchy. Alternative hierarchy for any reporting purpose is definitely an option.
Hope this helps.

How to use LSMW using the IDOC to upload and maintain cost center group

Hi Everyone,
Is there anyone who knows how to use LSMW using the IDOC functions instead of the recording. I wanted to upload the alternative cost center group I created in the system.
reply would be greatly appreciated
Warm Regards

Hi Praveen,
There is a risk trying to migrate data directly into standard tables because this can generate database inconsistences or wrong inserted data according to what is customized in the target system. I do not recommend migrate like this.
With LSMW you use objects like direct input programs, idocs, bapis and recorded batch input. Try to create a project and use an standard object for your data. Also, check in SXDA transaction (Goto-->DX programs) if there is a standard program for your data.
Anyway, if you want to upload data directly to tables, read below thread:
["UPLOAD CSV FILE";
[how to upload .csv file into a custom table;
