Hi
Primary cost component split in config for cost component structures drive the segreration and storage of primary cost into different buckets like material cost, labour cost.
The main purpose of which is to track the Primary Cost at Cost Component level (when multiple cost elements have been planned against a single Activity Type).

  • What type of  P&L Accounts does not need Primary Cost Element ?

    Hi
    The General rule is to create primary cost element for all the P&L items (GL Accounts).
    However, it seems like certain P&L items are not suppose to create primary cost elements.
    How do i know under what circumstances a P&L items need to create primary cost element  and which are the one not require to create primary cost element?

    Activity Types/Processes: 1 plan Price for the Period, 6 Most Up-to-date Plan Price
    and 2 Plan Price as Average of All Fiscal Year Periods.

  • Primary Cost Component Split in CO-PC

    Hi Experts,
    Could anybody define the exact steps to configure Primary Cost Component Split in CO-PC?
    I've tried unsuccessfully to do it:
    1) I've created Cost Component Structure 45 in OKTZ with Components only with PRIMARY COST ELEMENTS and marked this Cost Component Structure as Primary via checking the box in OKTZ.
    2) I've assigned this 45 Cost Component Structure in CO Version and I've also checked that the prices will be PURE ITERATIVE
    3) I've  assigned assigned 45 Cost Component Structure in OKTZ as AUXILIARY Cost Component Structure in OKTZ
    4) I've create Cost Component Structure 44 in OKTZ with Components including PRIMARY COST ELEMENTS and SECONDARY COST ELEMENTS (Cost Component Spli for COGM)
    5) I've assigned Cost Component Structure 44 in OKTZ as a MAIN Cost Component Structure
    6) I've also created TRANSFER STRUCTURE for Cost Components of 45 to Cost Components of 44
    Prerequisites:
    1) I was thinking about having Distribution Cycles in order to see all the Cost Elements in CO-PC
    2) Cost Splitting to put the Primary Cost Elements from CCA into the fixed part of the price
    3) Price Calculation
    Well frineds even though I executed CK11n I still encountered an errors, stating, that the system can not find the Secondary Cost Elements for Labour and Overheads in my Primary Cost Component Structure 45....
    I am really confused now. Could anybody help with this, thanks!

    Well..it seems you did correctly, but try to check if the activity master data is really assigned to same secondary cost element you set in OKTZ. Go for transaction KL03 and check it.

  • Primary cost component split not happening

    Hello Experts,
    I am trying to create a Primary cost component split for Products with following settings
    1. Creation of Primary cost component structure "1N" and marking it as Primary cost component
    2. Assigning the Primary cost elements to the Cost component structure
    3. Assigning the Primary cost component structure for the Company code and Plant
    4. Assigning the Primary cost component structure to "Version" under "Price calculation" tab.
    5. Activity type with Activity type category "1- Manual entry, Manual allocation" and Price Indicator "1 - Plan price, automatically based on activity"
    6. Activity output planning for Cost center
    7. Primary cost planning for the Cost centers
    8. Activity price calculation. (Update run) - Prices are changed in KP26 also
    9. After all the above steps I checked report S_ALR_87013644, Plan price is existing in the report as mentioned in SAP note: 1658589
    After all the above steps, I tried running Cost estimate for a product. I am getting the error message
    Cost element 90001 is not assigned to a cost component
    Message no. CK239
    Also, I am getting a message
    No structure could be determined for internal activity TEB (M0001)
    Message no. CK694
    Therefore the Cost component is showing only the Material component.
    Where "90001" is a secondary cost element. I am not sure why system is still searching for Secondary cost element where we have assigned Primary cost component structure. I also ensured that Primary cost elements used in planning are all assigned to a Component in Cost component structure.
    I checked for SAP note "1736332", which is not applicable for my system version. Current version of SAP_APPL is  Release 606 and Support package SAPKH60607.
    Please help. Am I missing any settings.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Muneer,
    Please check whether you have maintained cost center splitting structure properly and assigned to the respective cost center for which you have maintained output planning and input planning.
    This splitting structure is much required because there only we maintain the relationship between primary cost elements and activities.
    Coming to your first message, yes system expects maintenance of secondary cost elements also in the cost component structure which is not primary CCS.
    Inorder to show primary cost component structure view:
    First, system calculates the direct activity cost in terms of secondary cost elements...
    Next, it verifies the cost center splitting structure you made,
    Then, system is going to convert the direct activity cost in terms of primary cost elements based on the splitting structure and Finally displays the primary cost component view
    I suppose second message speaking about cost center splitting structure only, please go through it carefully
    Other than these whatever the process you specified is right only..
    Regards...

  • Settle internal order to primary cost element

    Hi all,
    We use internal orders to collect costs for cars. We differentiate between fuel and maintenance costs. Both cost elements are set up being primary cost elements.When settling the internal order costs are settled using a secondary cost element. What do I need to change and where do I have to change this to have the cost settled against the original, primary cost elements (fuel/maintenance)?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Best regards, Paul

    Hi,
    Check the setting
    Controlling ->Internal Orders ->Actual Postings->Settlement->Maintain Allocation Structures.
    & also check the settlement profile.

  • Income GLs as Primary cost elements (Cat 1)

    Hi,
    At my clients place, some of Income GLs are created as Primary Cost elements with Cat 1 and they are exempted from budgetary control. I would like to know what would be the reason behind this.., pls. note Profitability Segment is not active.
    Regards,
    Khan

    I assume you want to know why they are 1's, and not why they are exempt from budgetary controls?
    I also assume that these postings go to cost centres?
    And I further assume that you were wondering why they were not created as 11's?
    And that is then also the answer - they were created as 1's so that they can post to cost centres. GL accounts are created as 11's or 12's when the postings need to happen from a sales order. In that case the postings can only go to revenue enabled cost objects, e.g. Internal Order or WBS made billing relevant, or to a Profitability Segment in Profitability Analysis.

  • Creation of Primary Cost Elements at FI area

    Masters/Experts,
    When i am trying to creat PCEs at FI area using Tcode-FS00, i am not getting a new screen after punching the EDIT COST ELEMENT pushbutton, infact i am getting the message "EDIT COST ELEMENT IS ONLY POSSIBLE FOR PL ACCOUNTS".
    I can see the Radio button is on the P&L account statement and not on the balance sheet radio button.
    Points will be awarded for the expertise.
    Thanks,
    Maria

    Hi maria,
    While creating or changing the G/L a/c by FS00, click the P/L acct radio button.Also mention the P/L acct statement type.If it is to be maintained in Retained Earnings, u can check 'X' (usually).after the account is created u can go by "edit cost Element" or by TCode KA01 and create the Primary Cost Element.
    Please let me know if u r still facing the problems.
    Please reward points if you find this to be useful.
    Thanks,

  • Settlement of internal activity cost to primary cost element.

    Hi Gurus,
    My client has a  urgent requirement to settle the internal activity cost captured through Warranty order to a primary cost element (FI), also need an offsetting entry to another primary cost element against the first one.
    Note: The value should flow to COPA also.
    Please suggest the way through which it can be achieved.
    Best Regards,
    Ramakanta

    When you do settlement of the order, you can post to FI all the balance of the order.
    Just configure int he peroid end closing tab of the order the settlement cost element (P&L) and the g/l account (BS- offsetting)
    For sure you can do this on a internal order, i don't know about warranty order (but shall be the same). Otherwise you can first settle to an internal order and then to the desired GL account.

    Paolo

  • Deriving cost center from primary cost elements

    Hello CO Experts,
    For few types of cost,  we want to derive a cost centre when we enter a particular GL account in financial posting.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to link a primary cost element to more than one cost centre?
    The CE master data has only one cost centre field in the default acc assignment tab.
    I have two possibilities:
    - enhance the master data by additional fields eg. cost center group
    - is there some sort of derivation for primary cost element / cost centre?
    NOTE: We are not using activity types and are talking only of primary cost elements.
    Thanks in advance
    Best regards, Deb

    Hi,
    you could realize it via a substitution OKC9.

  • How to deactivate Primary Cost Element

    Hi,
    A primary cost Element is already created. Now We would like to decativate it so that during posting an entry it doesnot prompt to enter a CO object.
    How cdan we do this?
    Regards,
    MG

    Hi,
    For blocking the cost element you have two options
    1 )if earlier posting are not made to that particular cost center or no records exist then you can diredtly delte the cost element.
    2 )If posting is already made then goto KA02 in analysis period change the analysis period.

  • Primary Cost Elements

    Hi,
    Pls tell me whether we can create Primary Cost Elements for all P&L related GL codes or there is some restrictions?

    Hi Viki
    Please note the below mentioned important points.  Although your query is answered in the thread, would like to ensure you do these checks to keep clean cost accounting records
    You should not create cost elements for all P&L items. Please note not to create cost elements for following GL accounts
    1) Cost of goods sold
    2) Variance accounts with PRD, PRF - this results in double accounting in cost accounting books
    3) If u hv sales order costing related scenarios then u can create COGS account with account assignment. Depends on your scenario
    4) All other accounts u can create cost elements as per the business requirements.
    But ensure u do not create COGS as cost element. If you create COGS as cost element system asks for accnt assignment object every time and to eliminate this a cost center is assigned in OKB9 for COGS cost element, which is not correct.
    Please check this, very imp to hv clean cost accounting records
    Assing points if the above clarifications are helpful

  • Through Assessment cycle can we post costs through Primary cost Element

    Can we Send the Costs from Sender Cost Center to Receiver Cost Center by using Primary Cost emlement which is created with Cost Element Category as1 and by executing Assessment Cycle (KSU5)
    Thank you all

    Hi Naga,
    1. Do you want to transfer the cost in the Cost Element which is of category 1   OR
    2. You want to use that Cost Element as a cost carrier in Assessment?
    In case 1, YES, you can transter the cost
    In case 2, NO, you must create secondary cost element with category 42 for this purpose.
    Pls revert back for further explanation

  • Creation primary cost elements

    Primary cost elements can be generated in batch for creation, but then it seems to me it's all of them or nothing.
    Is this also possible for 1 year for instance or for a limited number of cost elements, via another transaction for instance.  MASS create?

    Hi Walter,
    First of all you have to select automatic creation of cost elements for your chart of account in OB13.
    Next in OKB2, you have to specify the cost element category for the range or single cost elemets.
    Next create batch input session in OKB3, here you can give from and to valid date.
    You have to execute the created batch input session in SM35.
