OKB9....assignment...

Hi Experts,
In OKB9 We assign any costelement default to COPA , How the value flow to copa and where we assign value field to that costelement and on base the cost will segregate between different characteristics.
In my case client assign Variance cost element in OKB9(THEY ARE ENTERING THE PRICE VARIANCE MANUALLY),to COPA, HE asking that how the cost will segregate for different characteisristics(in my case the cost distributed for products)
whether it is distributed to all the FG or SFG or not...
Please clear my doubt...
Thanks,
Chandu

The value field for direct postings is assigned to cost elements in TC kei2, structure "FI".
When posting directly from FI the only automatic assignment to characteristics that you may hope for are very general characteristics like company code, operating concern.
Other characteristics you will have to populate manually when creating the FI document (there is a button for "profitability segment"). In your example, your client would have to create one line in the FI doc per product that he wants hit and then enter that product under "profitability segment". For any characteristic that in not entered here, the amount will be "unassigned" to any value of that characteristic in COPA.
For direct postings that originate not from a manual FI posting but e.g. are triggered from the MM module (or CO itself) some characteristics may be populated automatically. For example a goods movement for material X that triggers an accounting document for an account that is configured in OKB9 for COPA posting will result in the creation of a COPA document with that material automatically populated as "product" in COPA.

F110 AutoPayment KI 248 Account Requires an assignment to a CO object

Hi Guru,
I have found a problem that when run F110 proposal, several accounts shows the following error message in job log. I have searched other webpage on the same problem but it doesn't work.
Tried solution: OKB9 assign cost center to the account. KA02 assgin default cost center to the account. But all the above can't solve the problem.
The error message is:
Account 658215 requires an assignment to a CO object KI 248
I found the account 658215 was for revaluation gain/loss. But it is confusing that the open item for vendors are all posted in local currency. No foreign currency is used in auto payment also.
I tested the same vendor in QA system but it gave me no errors. Only in PRD it has the error message on proposal.
Could you please help to throw some light on the problem?
Emma

Hi,
Kindly check the cost element 658215 (i.e) what cost element category assigned, since you said in QA it has been successfully posted, you can compare the same.
Also, try to simulate the document in PRD through FB01 for the GL account 658215 and assign the cost center manually and check whether the same error is appearing. If not, then your assinment in OKB9 is wrong or the cost center is deactivate or block.
Let me know if the issue is solved.
Thanks and Regards

We are having Profit Center assignment with each line item and is also having configurations in VKOA Transaction.
Can you please suggest how can we post this document in G/Ls.
Rgds, Krishan Raheja

Hi Krishan,
There are four possibilities, please check
Go to T-code: KA02: enter G/L account (Cost element) ---> default acct assignment TAB -->assign the Cost Centre ---> save.
Now try your transaction.
OR
Check the field status of the account in FS00. If this account requires CO object as mandatory then check whether a cost element is created or not, this error normally occurs when CO object is mandatory but relevant cost element is not created.
Example: CO object may be cost centre, cost element, WBS element
OR
Use t.code OKB9 --> assign G/L account to cost object with your company code ---> save.
OR
Go to your biiling document --> Item level --> On item detail page --> check the "Profit center --> If its not ther then maintain the require entry in GGB1 and Material master
OR
For more check the link

OKB9 does not work to derive a Profit Center from Document splitting

Hi GL Gurus,
I am trying receive customer payment with payment difference. Original invoice has two Profit centers so Customer line items have these 2 PCs derived by Doc splitting. I have defined Document splitting characteristic as Profit Center in General Ledger and In Controlling as Cost center. While posting Customer payment with payment difference , It gives me error that CO object does not exist. I have done OKB9 assignement to the above 2 profit centers but it still does not derive a Cost center.
Do you know how to resolve this error?
Thanks in Advance!

I have done OBXL and then OKB9. In OKB9 you have feature as "Mandatory fields for detailed account assignments.Field for specifying detailed account assignments." Here you can define for a Cost element/by Profit center assignment and then to a Cost Center. This works when you have a Cost element/Profit Center combination. But the situation above it does not read the PC derived in Customer line item.
The issue is OKB9 does not Read the Profit Center when it is derived by Document splitting/Inheritance.
Is there a solution to do this?

Product costing error while defining posting rules

Hi Friends,
When I'm trying to define posting rules for settling WIP using OKG8,
I get an error msg "GL account 7000100 cannot be created as a cost element" and the aforesaid account is WIP (P&L account).
The long text of the error msg is as follows:
G/L account 7000100 cannot be created as a cost element
Message no. KQ119
Diagnosis
When maintaining the posting rules for passing on results analysis data to Financial Accounting, you entered a G/L account that is defined as a primary cost element in cost and revenue element accounting. This is not allowed. You must enter a G/L account in the posting rules that is not defined as a cost element.
System Response
The entry invalid.
Procedure
You have the following options:
Enter a G/L account for which no cost element is specified in Cost and Revenue Element Accounting.
You can change the message type with user-defined error management (transaction OPR4_KKA). What should be observed when you enter a G/L account in a posting rule that is defined as a primary cost element in Cost and Revenue Element Accounting? You need to define a CO account assignment so that the posting defined in the posting rule can be executed. You do this with transaction OKB9 (default account assignment) or OKC9 (substitution), or using the default account assignment in the cost element master.
Could anyone suggest me on this.
The steps that I've already defined as far as the account are concerned:
1. Have defined the aforesaid account as a cost element
2. Assigned Prodn. C CTR in OKB9 agnst the same.
But then I dont understand why the system pops up this msg, saying, cannot be created as a cost element, wherein the account is already a cost element.
Plz suggest
regards
sandhya

Hiya,
WIP accounts (neither Inventory nor Offset) should NEVER be created as Cost Elements.
In most manufacturing scenarios, costs are tracked on the P&L. During period-end, since there is the risk of writing off some issues to the Production/Process/Sales Order, SAP has introduced the complex but ingenious system called Results Analysis that moves the balance of all open Orders to the Balance Sheet.
If the Order balance is (+)ve, the P&L is credited and the Balance Sheet is debited and vice versa. When you display the Order costs at period-end, the WIP costs are not considered. In order to calculate WIP, we have separate RA GL accounts that track costs independently of the Orders. Therefore, these are never created as Cost Elements. Creating these as Cost Elements would force the system to inadvertently post the WIP costs back on the Order (alongwith posting these to the B/S??? - an unimaginable situation).
At period-end, you have postings like:
Dr WIP Inventory Account
Cr WIP Offset Account
and, this is reversed at settlement:
Cr WIP Offset Account
Dr WIP Inventory Account
Along with this, the system calculates the Actual COS for the finished product. Neither of the two WIP accounts used above is created as a Cost Element. If you have created any of these as Cost Elements, the system will not allow you to save OKG8. Delete the Cost Element and then try saving the posting rule.
(PS: The "Cost Element" field in this screen has a different use. It is used to specify if a Secondary Cost Element from the RA Update table should be posted to a G/L Account. This is not meant for Primary Cost Elements. I think these Secondary CEs are of type 31 (requires confirmation - no SAP access right now). As you may have guessed, you can only enter either the RA Category or this Secondary CE).
You may also delete the OKB9 assignment to the Cost Centre. It is redundant.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

CO-PA: COGS accounts created as cost elements

hello,
I have a question regarding COGS accounts, being created as cost elements. This was not causing problems, because client was using real internal orders for profit analysis. In the next phase of project, during implementation of costing based CO-PA, now I have problem, because of this situation, because I can not delete created cost elements (only possible at the beginning of the new fiscal year) , and the system asks for cost object assignment during GI creation. I was considering OKB9 assignment, but I think this will cause double values in CO-PA. Maybe temporary solution, by using real internal orders till the end of the year, and then deleting existing cost elements for COGS accounts, could work?
Please, advise what to do to solve this situation.
Thanks in advance,
Dusko

Hope you are not using account based COPA
To avoid double values in COPA, you can do one of two things,
1) after the costs are transferred to the internal order, you can just keep them there without doing settlement, let the users know that there will be under absorption for the internal order.
2) If the users are not willing to have under absorption in the internal order, you can transfer the costs to a value feild in COPA which is not reflected in the report in KE30 (Remember that you may loose one value feild in COPA this way)
Both make no effect on KE30 report as data will be transfered to COPA at the time of billing

Dear Consultant,
SAP note 32654 explains why the system takes the account
assignment at a higher level for automatically generated lines like
small differences. You should maintain an entry in OKB9 at a higher
level than valuation area, profit center or business area.
You should define a default value in OKB9 at company code level.
This is the highest level and you have to enter a default value as the
note 32654 describes. There are some circumstances where the system
needs this high level default value, and it does not take the one
defined at business area / valuation area / material (profit center)
level.
This particular problem with the system not being able to use
the 'detailed' OKB9 assignment happens when the system creates
an automatically generated line in a document. This is driven by
the transaction key and is then linked to OKB9 by the G/L account
defined for the transaction key. The most common transaction keys
that are used in auto-generated lines are 'DIF' (small diff) and
'KDR' (exchange rate).
The system works as designed because in the above cases, it cannot
decide from which material master it should take the profit center.
I would suggest to either set up an default account assignment at a
higher level (company code level), which is the first screen when
you access OKB9.
Please, let me know the results after changing the customizing
settings accordingly.

Manual Bank Reconciliation: FF67 and FB05 issue

Here in our business we have configured manual bank reconciliation.
When i post entries in FF67 with processing type=4 , i get errors in posting.
Then i go to FEBAN to check the log and post one by one in foreground.
This calls the transaction code FB05 the first line item is correctly accepted. then it goes for process open items but it gives error in second line item and it asks for cost center in a pop-up screen ( where in business area field is greyed out cost center is optional, profit center is optional). after giving cost center it automatically populates business area and profit center and successfully accepts the entry and successfully posts the entry.
But it i do same transation directly using FB05. I only give business area, profit center in first line item only and only account code in second line item it successfully posts the entry.
I do not want to give cost center while posting thru FF67. Any one who can help in this will be highly appreciable.

Prasanna,
You can analyse your GL accounts in order to have Cost Center populated by OKB9 assignment.
You can also check your GL Account field status group and define another for no Cost Center entry required.

Scrap Sales GL , which type of cost centers need to assign in OKB9

Dear Seniors,
G L account : Scrap Sales:
For this GL a/c , cost element created with Cost element category u201C11u201D (Revenues).
Now in OKB9   i want to make assignments:
With each b.area and cost centers.
Now my doubt is :
In OKB9 which type of cost center I need to assign from the below.
1.Cost center should be with
Cost cntr category u201CFu201D (Production)
Or
2.Cost center category u201DVu201D (Sales)
and another doubts is , in Cost center -control tab: Actual revenues check box, should i select or not in any case.
Please clarify my doubt.
Thanks in Adv

Hi,
As scrap sales are revenue to the company, undernoted things to be noted here :
1. The cost element category is V - Sales and the control indicator actual revenues box to be unticked.
     The posting will be statistical for revenue elements.
2. The revenue recognition has to be equally done in VKOA for the account assignment of this account.
3. You can create a seperate order type for scrap sales and a sales pricing procedure in SD.
4. Check whether the scraps are defined to capture Tax Collected at Source, if so, you have to define
     condition types for them too.
5. If the material itself is defined as scrap material then in Material master the Profit Center would have
     been assigned and to capture the revenue assign the scrap sales revenue in VKOA.
Best Regards,
Sadashivan

OKB9-Internal order assignment is not working

Dear Guru
I have an Requirment that whenever Billing document get posted data must flow to xxxxx Internal order.I assign the Internal order to cost element in OKB9.But not when posting billing document I cant see internal order in accounting or general ledger view.

Hi Deepali
If copa is active, revenue will post to copa. Okb9 is just a default and is used when no other cost object found
If you want biling to post only to Int order, assign it in your sales order account assignment tab
Note that in vkoa, you will need to maintain GL acct against Kofi and kofk both in that case
If you want it to post to both IO and copa, enter IO along with Prof segment in sales order

OKB9 valuation area specific CC assignment not picked up

We have the following scenario: Valuation area is active and we use OKB9 for valuation area specific cost center assignment for certain company code/cost element combinations.
When we try to settle a rework order that has the respective cost element in the settlement profile the OKB9 default cost center (on the valuation area level) does not get picked up and thus, Error: Cost element xyc needs an assignment to a cost object.
Has anybody run into that?

Hi,
First you should check receiver category in settlement profile, which is mentioned in the work order. If settlement receiver is material, then system will derive the cost center based on the valuation area . we have to give direct cost object assignment for receiver category in the settlement profile..
which receiver category you assigned in the settlement profile..

Using Substitution (GGB1) to change Cost Center assigned in (OKB9)

Dear all,
SAP Platform: ECC6
I've configured both VKOA (GL assignment) and OKB9 (auto acct assignment) for sales billing. In OKB9, I've mapped one cost center to one GL, i.e. GL-123456 = Cost-center-A.
Alright, now that I've a specific condition that requires to change the cost center at ad-hoc basis, i.e. for material # 2345678 only, I need to assign to GL-123456 but Cost-center-B instead. So, I attempt to use the substitution rule - GGB1 to replace the cost center based on material #. I did the configuration under Cost Accounting | Line Item by creating a new substitution and defaulted the constant to Cost-center-B when material # = 2345678.
So, I ran the billing in VF01 but the Cost-center-A was pickup instead of Cost-center-B. It appears that the substitution hasn't been triggered. Did I miss a step?
Thanks.

OKB9 Profit center wise assignment is not allowing.

Dear Experts,
Here iam facing problem like, In OKB9 setting valuation area wise allowing for cost center assignment, Profit Center wise not allowing for cost center assignment.It means it will allow to assign cost centers, but while transacting error troughing like co object missing, if we make setting like valuation area, it not throughing any error.
We can think why cant we go for assignment with valuation area.But we have number of profit centers under one plant, Plant is equal to valuation area, Here iam suppose to go by profit center wise only, please give me a better solution to come out of this issue at the earliest.
Thanking u in advance
Chinni

Hi,
Select 3 in account assignment i.e. Profit Center Mandatory and then give profit center in combination of Cost Center.
May also I know why do u have multiple Profit Centers in a single plant? Generally u can create one profit center for one plant and there by u assign for material and plant combination this profit center. If u follow this process then u can use 1(Valuation area) as mandatory and assign the profit centers/cost centers for each plant.

Default Account Assignment (OKB9)

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to post a document using txn MIRO. There is a tax on the material & the same gets calculated creating a separate line item.
We have maintained the Cost Centre & Internal Order for the tax G/L account in OKB9.
The cost centre gets updated, however the Internal Order does not get updated in the tax line item.
When we try to post the same transaction using FB01 with the same tax code, both the internal order & cost centre get updated in tax line item.
Can anybody help on this, please ?

Hi,
Good morning and greetings,
Please go through the following SAP OSS Note
