Organisation Structure CNT Cost Centre Assignments

Hi
We are currently using SRM 4
Via PPOMA_BBP General Attributes I am trying to assign a range of cost centres to the attribute CNT Cost Centres, but at present i am only able to entry them individually as the 'Value to' field is greyed out.
Please Help Rob.

Hi,
As far as i know, only attributes in the extended and responsability tab can have range values.
Kind regards,

Hello,
You can create a new work center by copying an existing work center. in the cr01 screen in the copy from column put the plant name and Ref. work center name and put enter. all the existing data will be copied to the newly created work center. no need to create new assignment to Production Scheduller and Cost Center.
Hope it helps.

Organisational keys are assigned based cost centre associated with Bus Area

Hi ,
I need to add the authorization check in the Z* program Within TE, restrictions are being implemented based upon organisational key. Organisational keys are assigned based upon whether or not the cost centre has an associated business area. If a business area exists, then a restricted organisational key (in range US01* to US50*) is assigned. Otherwise, a non-restricted organisational key is used.
Can any one help me !
Thanks,
Nelson

The authorization check for trip statistics reporting has a maximum of three stages:
Before displaying the selection screen
Before the selection screen is displayed a check is made as to whether the user has the authorization to view just his own trip data, or also the trip data of other employees.
The following check is made:
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'P_TRAVL'
ID 'AUTHP' FIELD 'E'
ID 'BUKRS' DUMMY
ID 'PERSA' DUMMY
ID 'KOSTL' DUMMY
ID 'PERSG' DUMMY
ID 'PERSK' DUMMY
ID 'VDSK1' DUMMY
ID 'PTZUO' DUMMY
ID 'AUTHF' DUMMY
ID 'AUTHS' DUMMY.
If the employee only has authorization to view his own data, the personnel number is determined using the Infotype Communication (0105). This personnel number is then displayed in the selection screen of the relevant report and can not be overwritten.
If the Infotype 0105 has not been maintained the program ends abnormally and an appropriate error message is issued. No further checks are made as the employee can only display his own data.
If the employee has the authorization to display the data of other employees as well, further authorization checks are made during the processing of the personnel and trip data.
During processing of personnel data
The following check is made for every personnel number read from the database:
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'P_TRAVL'
ID 'AUTHP' DUMMY
ID 'BUKRS' FIELD pa0001-bukrs
ID 'PERSA' FIELD pa0001-werks
ID 'KOSTL' FIELD pa0001-kostl
ID 'PERSG' FIELD pa0001-persg
ID 'PERSK' FIELD pa0001-persk
ID 'VDSK1' DUMMY
ID 'PTZUO' DUMMY
ID 'AUTHF' DUMMY
ID 'AUTHS' DUMMY.
If the check is successful, the trip data for the personnel number is processed, if unsuccessful, the personnel number is ignored.
During processing of trip data
The following check is made for each selected trip:
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'P_TRAVL'
ID 'AUTHP' DUMMY
ID 'BUKRS' FIELD pa0001-bukrs
ID 'PERSA' FIELD pa0001-werks
ID 'KOSTL' FIELD pa0001-kostl
ID 'PERSG' FIELD pa0001-persg
ID 'PERSK' FIELD pa0001-persk
ID 'VDSK1' DUMMY
ID 'PTZUO' DUMMY
ID 'AUTHF' FIELD authf
ID 'AUTHS' DUMMY.
The AUTHF field has 3 positions:
Position 1: S - Statistics data for reporting
Position 2: - Request status of trip
Position 3: - Settlement status of trip
If the check is successful, the selected trip is displayed in the report list, if unsuccessful, the trip is ignored.

You can check the cost centers assigned to a org unit in the relationships ... OR
Go with adhoc query for your requirement it is simple.

CNT cost ctr attribute. Can you enter a range of allowed cost centers?

We are using SRM 5 with extended classic. We are restricting which cost centers users can shop for by specifying the allowed cost centers in attribute CNT. However, users have a large number of cost centers that they can shop with, which means having many single entries, one for each cost center.
Is there any way that cost center ranges can be used for attribute CNT?
Thanks
Neil

Hi,
You need to maintain the attribute 'CNT' in the org structure at user level or may be upper levels and then inherit it org structure.
You need to define the values wrt to yr backend system.
You can assign multiple cost centres also then users will see drop down box for the same.
One more point affecting the search help for cost center is authorisation for the resp role in PFCG i.e.
say the user role is SAP_BBP_STAL_EMPLOYEE
you go to PFCG
go to roles
doubleclick on inbuilt single role ....EC_BBP_EMPLOYEE
click on tab authorozation
go to display/change auth data
go to BBP component
go to first option 'SRM: Allgemeine Zugangsberechtigungen im EBP'
check 'BE_F4_HELP' is flagged.
If no tick here you will not see binoculur in EBP for user of that role
Also see the foll note if the search help is not displayed :
Note 656633 - Search help requires dialog users

Cost Centre Reporting

Hi,
We are a large company with around 40000 staff and have the following business requirement.
- Cost centre reporting is expected to be hierarchical in nature but current Cost Centre structure in Australia is flat in structure.
- Natural hierarchies already exist by organisational structure: Total Company, Business, Zone, Region, Area and Branch.
- As a high level requirement, cost centre data should only be available to the manager of the organisational unit that they are managing and any lower level organisational units. Managers should only be able to view their organisational unit costs or lower organisational unit costs. They should not be able to view cost centre data across structures (peer organisational units) or higher levels of responsibilities (parent organisational units).
- The ability to access cost centre reporting data should take into account HR delegations and substitution processes. This also needs to take into account the granting of the correct authority to the delegated person to run reports.
- One possible option is to utilise the A250 Cost Centre Manager relationship in SAP to facilitate the security for cost centre reports.
I will be handling these requirements from a security perspective and would liike to achieve this without creating hundreds of roles and a maintenance nightmare.
A finance version of structural authorisations would be good
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Barb

Hi Barbara
I have been in this situation a couple of years ago. We ended with a solution where I made a report for generating the roles based on the responsibility area, and where the user assignment where done manually. Not a very elegant solution, but it worked.
I can see that your requirement are a bit more sophisticated though. And if you do not want to generate a lot of roles I think you will need to develop your own concept for this.
But again, as authorization check are implemented directly in the source code, this is not a small task ~ at least my guess is that you will have to limit the number of report etc used by managers to very few, perhaps Managers desktop or Manager Self Service could help here ? Otherwise I guess my suggestion would be to develop my own reporting application, or try to convince the customer to give up some of the requirements.
The bottom line is, that SAP Finance really can't handle this in an elegant manor, So Yes - a finance version of structural authorizations would be a great Idea

Cost Centre Splitting

Dears
I am not very much conversant with Controlling.
Still I am supposed to do the period opening activities in Controlling.
I need a clarification on the Cost Centre Splitting.
Cost Centre 300001 is having 3 activity types : MACH001, LAB001, FIN001
In our case, there is a Split structure Z1 and there are 35 assignments to this structure.
When I go into the individual assignment, say, first assignment (defined as 10),
I see that the selection criteria is Cost element group : AB0001 (5 cost elements) & ActivityType : MACH001.
What does this imply ?
I understand that the total plan cost for the cost element group AB0001 will be allocated to the Activity type MACH001 for this Cost Centre 300001.
This cost will not be available to any other activity type in the same cost centre.
Is my understanding correct ?

Hi,
Please look into the following to know the concept of splitting:
Here I am providing the necessity and importance of splitting structure,
Expense Analysis and Splitting in Manufacturing Cost Centers
Introduction In SAP Cost center work as a cost responsibility center, where all the expenses and cost are stored and analyzed for the purpose of management decision making.
The cost could be fixed or variable in nature. The difference between variable and fixed costs can be made in various ways in product costing in CO module.
Fixed costs represent the static costs incurred by the organization, which doesn’t change on the basis on manufacturing activities, which remain constant irrespective of production activities like rent for the premises, salaries of office staff etc.
On the other hand, variable cost varies based on the level of production activities; if production activities increase then variable cost also increased like electricity consumes raw material charges etc.
However all the variable cost doesn’t vary in direct proportion by quantity of goods produced.
In this document will try to define; how the Expenses analysis and splitting of cost done in manufacturing cost centers.
From controlling prospective, fixed cost remain constant regardless of operating activities, but if these factor changes, variable cost will fluctuate.
Basically raw material costs represent variable cost, but in this document main focused will be given to distinguish fixed and variable activity cost.
The segregation between fixed and variable cost is optional and is derived from the configuration and master data configured in cost center accounting and overhead accounting.
Activity Price:
There are different methods that could be used in cost center accounting to determine the activity price. The simple way is the manually enter “Fixed” and “Variable” Activity cost (KP26).
However there are other methods used in Cost center Planning and Budgeting that automatically calculate the fixed and variable activity price.
Here the focused will be given on Planning and Budgeting activity and automatic calculation of plan activity rate in cost center.
This method aggregate planned costs by cost element and capacity by plan unit to calculate the activity price.
Activity independent costs are segregated among different activities based on Splitting Structure, while activity dependent cost directly used for the purpose of variable activity rate calculation.
Fixed Activity Cost:
In product costing all those cost, which doesn’t vary based on the activities in manufacturing cost will represent fixed cost.
In a manufacturing cost centers there may be two or more activities performed.
To calculate the activities rate, the fixed costs are distributed to various activities on the basis of Splitting Structure defined for cost center.
Variable Activity Cost:
Variable activity cost, which directly depend upon the activity type and fluctuate based on increase or decrease in manufacturing activities. In SAP variable activity cost are directly linked to the respective activity.
Activity Prices: Fixed and Variable Split
In Cost Center Accounting dividing the cost between Fixed and Variable requires appropriate split to be made in the cost entered for the activity. The process is described below:
i. Variable cost would be planned at activity level and expenses should be maintained at cost element in the manufacturing cost center by assigning activity and cost element combination.
In other word, the expenses should be planned on Activity type at the time of primary cost planning (KP06).
Then the variable activity rates are calculated on Total cost planned at Activity divided by Total number of activity planned at that cost center (i.e. capacity in KP26)
ii. Fixed cost would be planned at independent of activity type. These costs are maintained in KP06 at cost element level on manufacturing cost center.
Then the fixed costs are distributed on various activity types on the basis of Splitting structure defined at OKEW.
In Splitting Structure we define the rules, how the fixed cost will be distributed to Activities. For the purpose of this document, considering split of fixed cost on the basis of Capacity maintained in KP26.

Order settlement to G/L instead of Cost Centre.

Dear All,
My client has following scenario:
1. Cost centers are created as sections of the plant.
2. G/Ls are created with respect to activity (i.e normal consumption, project consumption, turnaround consumption).
In general maintenance order is settled to cost center that is copied from equipment master to order settlement rule. But, in above scenario cost should be settled to combination of "Cost Center + G/L" i.e. if mechanical section creates an order for any of the above said activities, the order should be settled to mechanical cost center and respective G/L account.
"One way around to this issue can be accomplished by settling the order directly to G/L defined in combination with section and activity."
Is this a correct practice if we settle maintenance order directly to G/L and do not use cost centers?
Your expert opinions and any other solution if you can suggest in this regard will be very helpful.
Thanks.

Hi,
Maintenance Orders are generally settled to cost centres as maintenance activities are nothing but Expenses. Please note that Cost Centers are meant to capture costs through GL accounts which are to be created as a Primary Cost elements in CO and the costs are passed to the cost center through account assignments.
The settlement will require an assignment to a CO object which may be a cost centre,order,WBS etc. If you are trying to simply assign the settlement receiver as "GL account" in Order, system will ask you for asignment to a CO obeject. Hence it is imperative to use cost centres.
For your scenario, you need to specify the range of cost elements to which settlement is allowed in the "Allocation structure" configuration. Tick on settlement by cost elements.Allocation structure is linked to your settlement profile.
When settlement process runs, your order cost will flow to the respective cost centre(from settlement rule) and the corresponding cost element will be affected. The details of debit and credit can be checked through the CO document which is generated.
Hope this throws some light on your query.
Regards,
S.Basu

Master cost centre assignment

What do you mean by Master Cost Centre in SAP HR. Is it related to Organisational structure inanyway? Does the consultant have to configure it ?

Hi Ravi,
Master cost center flows from OM to the employee if there is integration with PA.
In case if there is no integration with PA, then you can directly assign the Cost center to the employee in IT 0001.

HR Cost Centres/Approval Hierarchies

We currently have 11i Financials/Purchasing installed and are looking at the possibilty of installing HR/Payroll. How will existing cost centre structures and purchasing approval hierarchies be affected by the implementation of HR? Is it possible to have separate cost and approval hierarchies for HR and Finance? Would the exsiting structures need to be changed? What should one consider when evaluating this? Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated.

Charlie,
Short answers - Yes - your HR orgs can be organised into many different hierarchies if necessary.
Your existing information in the shell Assignment form may or may not be adequate for what you need - it is likely, but not definite, that this may need amending in some way based on HR requirments.
Payroll costings can be mapped to GL Chart of Account Segments.
Take Care

Rel. strategy is not triggered while creation of PR with cost centr

Hi Gurus,
While creation of PR release strategy is not getting triggered with cost centre BCWSV870. But release strategy of PR triggered for cost centre BCWSV852 (In PR changed only cost centre as BCWSV852 instead of BCWSV870). Both cost centres are similar and the both cost centres are exist in characteristics value in CL20N for the same release strategy.
My question is why for one cost centre triggers release strategy triggers and for other cost centre release strategy is not triggered. Can you please tell how come this and rewarded for answer this.
With regards,
C. Sundar Rajan

Hi,
In regard to problematic PR with cost center BCWSV870, was your PR maintained with only one line item? or multiple line items?. In additions, when defining cost center as part of the release strategy structure, did you enter all cost centers with leading zeros? Tak a further look into OSS Note 365604 for your further investigation.
Cheers,
HT

GL account and Cost Centre Info

Hi All
Where does the GL account / Chart of accounts / Cost centre information gets stored in SRM System?
Are there any specific tables for this..
Thanks and Regards

Hi
All the data that you mention is held in ERP. SRM uses RFC connections to validate if the data that a user enters is correct.
The cost centres that a user can select can be maintained in the org structure or the search help functionality (that requires a dialog rfc connection) can be activated.
The default GL account for a product category can be maintained within the SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Account Assignment -> Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category img activity.
Hope this answers a couple of your queries.
