Hi Reddy Anna
Forget about how it happened in the past... Create a cost center in DEV and assign it in OKB9... Transport it to Other clients and create the cost center in all other clients

  • OKB9 Cost Center at Header level

    SAP Experts
    In one of my sub contracting scenario I have assigned cost element in okb9 for multiple business area with the combination of valuation area, no profit centre is assigned. At the time of posting system is asking for co object assignment for the cost element of sub contracting which is assigned in okb9.
    When I am assigning a dummy cost centre at header level of okb9, it works fine.
    Please tell me the use of header cost centre in case of multiple cost centre assignment in okb9.

    Hi Pavan,
      I hope you know for which material system returns error message i.e. co object assignment required.Go to material master and find that what kind of  division they assigned in the material master, Then go to the transaction code OMJ7 find that division has been assigned to your valuation class, business are or not. If they are not assigned please maintain the division against the valuation area and do the process again. I hope your problem will be resolved please assigned the points.Be ensure okb9 settings are correct.

  • 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.

    Hi,

  • Block default cost center in OKB9

    Dear Experts,
    - If I would like to block one cost center which setting in OKB9 as defaul cost center, then change it to other cost center, what is the affect?
    - If cost element in OKB9 is having no cost center as default , then how the transaction from FI flow to Controlling?
    Kindly advice.
    Thank you.

    Hi Puri,
    When you give any Cost Center as default object in OKB9 for any Cost Element, that means, whenever there is a posting in FI in that GL, the system will prompt the default Cost Center in that line item. User will still have facility to change that cost center and can enter new cost center.
    If you want to replace a new Cost Center with a old Cost Center in OKB9, you can do that at any point of time. No implications.
    If you do no mention any Cost Center as default object in OKB9 for GL, nothing will happen but the User has to select the Cost Center manually at the time of FI postings.

  • Account/Cost Center Determination (OKB9) for same plant & 2 cost centers.

    Hi,
    I faced a weird situation My situation is i have the same plant but 2 different profit center's & 2 different cost center's . My OKB9 cost element is configured through "Plant/Valuation Area (1)".
    Previously when ever we used this "Plant/valuation Area" determination we used to give plant and corresponding cost center and left other fields like Business Area, Order and profit center blank. see below thing for clear idea
    Plant A - Cost Center A
    Plant B - Cost Center B
    Now with this weird situation, i am not sure whether we can configure OKB9  as below
    Plant A - Cost Center A - Profit Center A
    Plant A - Cost Center B - Profit Center B
    If we can do as above, will their be any implications.
    could anyone help me out of this situation.
    Thanks

  • Cost Center Assignment in OKB9 issue

    Hi All.
    I have one issue related to Cost Center Assignment.
    1.Our profit center structure is based on Product
    2. 70% of FG we get from Sub Contracting and thus we have to pay sub contracting charges to them for that.
    3  sub contracting charges  GL account is a Primary cost element thus have to assign cost center.
    4. In OKB9 we can assign one cost center per valuation area.
    our requirement is that in one plant we have many profit center according to product thus having diff cost center so we want to capture cost in that respective cost center according to product.
    Regards
    Shayam

    Hi Thanks for your reply.
    @AP  I tried but not found any exit for that.
    @yogesh  .. we dont assign cost center at material so no logic of picking cost center. Entry is posted at the higher level i.e at the level of PC and not at tbe level  of CC. system pick PC  from CC and not CC from PC.
    Hope this is clear to you.

  • Sales order - cost center posting

    In a sales order, the field cost center (header rellated) appears only by entering an order reason.
    Are there other possibilities to open cost center field for entry?

    Hi,
    If the account in question is defined as cost element (KA03), then it requires an assignment to CO. Profit centre is not sufficient, as it's not a CO entity, but EC-PCA. If you want to set different cost centre depending on input paramteres (plant), you can define a substitution (OKC9). Otherwise, if you just want to set a default you could use OKB9 or KA02.

  • Cost Center Error while releasing Billing document to Accounting

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    Our user raised an issue that when he had released billing document to accounting, the system threw error message
    "Cost center xxxx (CO area)/xxxx(Cost center) does not exist on date 11/16/2011". Message No. KI 222.
    But the cost center xxxx does not exist in the system at all. The user does not want to create the cost center eirther. Cost center was not entered in Sales order, Delivery and Billing. I have checked 'Default account assignement' (OKB9) settings, Default account assignment in cost element master record and assignment of cost center to sales organization (OVF3). But cost center xxxx was not configured in the above settings. I have checked validations/substitutions, user exits and BAPIs, there is nothing specific to the cost center. This is not a cross-company code scenario. I have made field status to optional for cost center. But still the problem persists. Accounting document did not get generated because of the above mentioned error message. User applied SAP notes 315350. But it did not resolve the issue.
    Would anyone let me know 'why the system showed the cost center xxxx that does not exist, while releasing the billing document to accounting'?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    K.S.K

    Hi Friend,

  • 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.

  • OKB9 - Cost of sales accounts assigned to profitability segement

    Hi All,
    I am brand new in an SAP team and I want to understand how OKB9 works and how I could control it.
    I want that all Cost of sales accounts ( included cycle count adjustment, difference when posting MIRO ) are posted to profitability segment.
    At the moment account for cost difference between inventory price and invoice price is defined in OKB9 with a default cost center.Can I change that to PSG ?
    Also if I define the accounts as PSG, how can I prevent people from booking manually to cost center for example on those accoutns where I only want profitability segment bookings ?
    Hope this is clear enough to receive good help.
    Thanks
    Stéphane

    If you dont want people to post to a cost center you can control this via the FSG (Field Status Group)
    This is linked to the GL account, and defined at posting key level.

  • Restricting issue of goods to cost center with respect to material type

    Dear Users,
    I have a requirement like we want to restrict issue of goods to cost center with respect to material type i.e., we want to issue goods to cost center only through reservation and that too only for specific material types. Is there any standard solution for this, please provide your suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Manoj

    Hi Ajay,
    Thanks for valuable input.
    I also thought in the same line , but user has the following concern on this:
    Assessment Cycle: As per Users, it cannot be used because this will allocate based on allocation basis. But they need, the values that was posted at the time of transaction and as per materials. So it wont be accurate through Assessment cycle,
    OKB9: They have different Cost center for different valuation area for the same GL Account.
    Hence through OKB9 also, we cannot post directly to COPA.
    That's the reason the above option were not adopted.
    My other concern to this is:
    In CKM3, we have two lines under consumption, one for Normal sales PGI and other is Cost Center.
    After doing revaluation of consumption in CKMLCP, we see one line under Cost Center :Revaluation of Consumption Figure"
    My question, where can I see that figure whether in any table or in Cost Center report??
    If that is also available we can try to match those values and post to COPA.
    Let me know your thought on this.
    Thanks and regards
    Kami
