OTL Cost center in Payrol time Card

Hi
In the seeded Payroll template for the Cost center LOV to be populated with Value should we modify the ldt file or is there any seeded value set that can be used
I know by using the Alternate name and Alternate name mapping we can able to bring the cost center LOV in the Time Keeper screen. i am just wondering is there a way to bring the cost center value in the self service time using the seeded payroll layout card without modifying the ldt file
Please let me know.. thanks for the time
Regards
Ramesh S

Ramesh,
As we discussed, Where exactly the value will go is determined by the attribute defined in the layout and the corresponding location after transfer process is governed by the mapping components. So check if the mapping component is correctly defined for the costing field, whether it is pushing the cost field info to the segment of the costing.

Hi Experts,
Our R/3 is configured on FI & HR and
Our BW Reporting requirment is to compare the 'Cost Center' Budgeting & Payroll Information
Is there any Business Content Solution for this
Thanks

Hi,
Then create Multiprovider on Cube mentioned by Teja and Payroll cube.
If the cube 0CCA_C11 is not giveing budget values, then take a look on the data source 0CO_OM_CCA_7.And then create a Cube for uploading data from 0CO_OM_CCA_7.And then create a MP on payroll cube and this cube.

Hello,
In Table CATSDB seen we the results from time entry. The fields Send cost center and receiver cost center. An employee has an standard costcenter as masterdata. When this person works a couple of hours on a cost center that differs from his standard (master data), he giving in the cost center were he works on. Every thing is ok in ESS.
In MSS in the team viewer this person belongs to a team. Bij the approval of time sheets he displays standard (master data) and the u2018differentu2019 cost center. This situation we want to avoid. The u2018differentu2019 cost center is somebody else his responsilibility.

Position to Cost Center Relationship with time constraint 1

Hi,
I have a situation wherein:
1. There exists 2 records in PP01 with S-K relationship e.g. 01.01.2013 to 28.02.2013 and 01.03.2013 to 31.12.9999
2. There is a requirement to create another S-K record with dates; 01.02.2013-28.02.2013 automatically delimiting the first record.
Hence in all three records should exist
But when i try creating the 3rd record with end date 28.03.2013, it gives an information message stating End Date corrected to maximum end date of 31.12.9999. Thereby over writing the previous record(2nd one)
Do I need to change time constraint? Time constraint 1 should ideally allow this, as my records do not have gaps and exist at all times.
Please guide me through.

Hi Rohan,
Please check the table V_T777ZVK and the time constraint between S and A011 it must be 02 as per the standard system.
Then time constraint 2 means a maximum of one infotype record of the same type for the same object at the same time.
So if you change then end date must be 31.12.9999.

CATS Time Entry - Charging time to a different cost center

We are looking at using CATS for time entry for our salaried non-exempt employees. Some of these employees charge their overtime to a different cost center. For example, normally their overtime is charged to their own cost center but periodically they help another group and need to charge the overtime to the other group's cost center. In the CATS profile where you select the fields you want to be available for input, display, etc., I see cost center as an option. However, when I select it as a field for input, it does not appear on the timesheet. I see there are other cost center fields (receiver cost center, sender cost center) but I thought these had more to do with work orders (not sure of that, though) and work orders are not used for this group of people. Currently, the time is being charged to an alternate cost center when the time administrator enters the overtime via PA30 and then selects the 'Cost assignment' button to record the appropriate cost center. I would appreciate any information/guidance you can provide. Thank you.

Hi Kathleen,
We are trying to do the same thing so I understand exactly what you are asking. We made the sender cost center field an input field via the IMG - Cross-Applications Components> Time Sheet> Time Recording> Choose fields> - select data entry section and look for sender cost centre - field name CATSD-SKOSTL - ensure "input" is selected.
Eventhough we have been able to enter an alternative cost center with an attendance (i.e., different from the employee's cost center saved on IT0001), it is not being transferrred to HR (does not appear on attendance infotype) therefore payroll does not pick-up the cost center with the attendance hours and it is not posted to FI. Payroll continues to use the employee's home cost center.
Have you been able to get any further with this issue?
You can contact me directly if you like - 1-613-599-8600 - ext 243.

Issue making Cost Center Hierarchy Time Dependent

Hi,
We have three hierarchies on top of cost center and cost center was not time-dependent. There is a new requirement to make one of the hierarchies time dependent. To faclitate it, I changed the hierarchy property in cost center infoobject to "Hierarchy structure is time-dependent" and then loaded the hierarchy.It took the validity dates of 1.1.1000 to 31.12.999. A costcenter was changed from one node to another in ECC and was extracted into BI. As time-dependency is set, I thought that node will have two entries now one with validity period 1.1.1000 to 30.10.2009 and another with 31.10.2009 to 31.12.999. But instead the hierarchy was overwritten and only the latest change is refelcted.
Can someone please help in figuring out the issue. Should some change be done in ECC for time-dependency to reflect.
Thanks
Achyuta

Hey Achyuta,
The hierarchy needs to be time dependent in the source system and then the datasource for the time dependent hierarchy would then need to be replicated again. You'll know if it's right after the replication if you view the datasource in BW and the Data is Time Dependent check box is checked on the General Info Tab. Once the datasource is time-dependent, loads should populate the DateTo and DateFrom as you expect. Consult your R/3 expert if you need help over on the source system side.
Peace,
Dan Glick

How to run GR55 reports in background for cost center hierarchies

1. I have been asked by our users to create batch jobs to run in the background for some GR55 reports, that can then be sent directly to cost center managers via email.
I have figured out the process to do this as long as the cost center manager only needs to see a single cost center at a time. However, if they are in charge of multiple cost centers, we also want to send them a summarized report using the hierarchy we have set up. I can't seem to make this work, as the job only seem to recognize the last cost center in the group and the report is for that cost center.
Example. cost centers 100, 200 and 300 belong to hierarchy abc. If I run the job just for cost center 100 it is fine. But if I have a variant to run hierarchy abc, or even if I use the range 100 to 300, all I get is a report for cost center 300.
We cannot use BW because we only have revenue in BW. I am being asked to make this work from standard R/3 within the GR55 realm of reporting.
2. In addition, the report selection criteria includes two separate plan/forecast versions. They need to update these each month prior to running the reports and sending them out. I looked at the variables associated with the versions and tried to set them up with default values that I hoped would update automatically so that they don't have to manually change 50 or so variants each month. But I don't see any dynamic variables that I can use to have the system make that change without going into each variant individually.
3. There is another piece to this equation as well. There is another report they want sent out in batch, but it is several pages wide in SAP and several pages long. So when you run it in batch and either spool it or get it sent as an email, it is very ugly in the formatting due to all the page splits horizontally and vertically. If anyone knows how to get the report to stay together like it would if you had excel integration turned on, it would be very helpful. I have tried running it with that integration turned on, but the jobs are set up with user batch_mgr and not my id, so it isn't working well. The batch_mgr id is just a system id, not a dialog id. We also don't want the jobs set up with a regular user id because if people leave, then the jobs all need to be changed.

Kim,
I may have options for issues 1 and 2. In case of 3, what I can tell you is I understand the concern, but this is what typically happens in some standard CO reports that are not ALV compatible, I don't think there is not much there to do unless you add some custom code for the output.
In regards to point 1, yes, I have noticed that this happens in some standard and custom reporting, not sure what is going on. I came up with a work around that made the trick for my client in a similar scenario; which is editing the cost center groups. For instance, instead of having the group set as a range from 100 to 300, the groups are have listed the cost centers, 100, 200 and 300. Obviously, the disadvantage of this option is that it would require a bit of more cost center group maintenance.
In regards to point 2, I understand from your note that your users already have set up selection variants for the report. One option for you is to get the help from a developer to create a custom period variable and tiny program that runs in batch every month that would update that variable accordingly. Once that's done, you may have to update at least once, the selection variant attributes to change the period to a selection variable, so everytime from that point of time forward that the variable gets updated, it will be ready with the right value for every selection variant that uses it.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for reply,
as you told that Cost Centers are normally used for Overhead cost management, while direct material costs in production environment do not flow via Cost Centers.
So can you please tell me what is difference beteween Cost center and order, as both are use for capturing costs

I have doubt on cost center

Can you tell me what is the information this table will give CSKS .What is meant by cost center and what is the use of prctr field in this table .
Thanks,
Manohar

Hi,
CSKS is the table for Cost Center Master Data.
cost center: cost center collects the costs. It will try to control the costs with the help of responsible person. Cost centers are not meant for revenues.
Cost center is a real object.
If you give cost center at the time of posting, then real postings will go to cost center and statistical posting will go to profit center (which is assigned in cost center master)
If you give cost center and Internal Order (real), then real postings will go to internal order and statistical postings will go to cost center and profit center (which is assigned in internal order master). The cost center will become statistical or real based on the other real object given.
If you give cost center and internal order (statistical) then real postings will go to cost center and statistical postings will go to internal order (statistical) and profit center (which is assigned to cost center.

THR10 - Cost Center Assignment on Job

Hi,
I am going through THR - 10 manual these days. I've a query that really amazed me therefore I am putting this question if any of you have satisfactory answer. On page no. 292 of THR-10 (The Human Resources Administration) manual, there is written the following sentence.
To depict your enterprise's Cost Center hierarchy in the system, you link the cost centers to the relevant organizational units. You can also link the cost centers to jobs and positions.
As per my knowledge, we can only assign cost centers to organization units, positions, and some other objects too but cannot assign cost center to JOB.
I will be very gratefull if any of you "SAP GURU" can guide me through.

Hi,
Thanks for your replies Experts :).
I've gone through certain customization in order check if there might be any possibility, if a job can be assigned a cost center and if that job is assigend to any position from which you have'nt assigned any cost center through account assignment tab. I created additional relationship for object type C (Job) with K (Cost Center) and defining Time Constraint 2. After doing this, I assigned a cost center to job using newly created relationship, and assigned that job to the position with no center assigned. Finally i assigned an employee with that position to check if IT0001 inherits the cost center from the position which was inter related with that job with assigned cost center, but it did not worked.
So i think it's just a mistake SAP AG has made.
Anyways thank you all for your replies

Cost Center in actual assessment

Hi all,
I am trying to get a report which shows for a specific cost center the actual assesment cycle in whic it is assigned in a massive way. I know I can find it via KS03 but only for a specific cost center, does anyone know a massive way to do this? I found the program RKALLOOK but this is an individual one.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi
You have two options.
(1) Use RKALLOOK and look-up one cost center at a time (I believe you are already aware about it).
(2) I am going to suggest an option at a database level. Use transaction code SE16 on table T811K. On the selection screen for this table use TABLE = CCSS, FIELD = KOSTL, FROM VALUE (Enter all the Cost Centers). One thing to remember is that this table stores cost centers as 10 characters long. So if your cost center nomenclature is shorter prefix the value with Zero. Example, cost center 12345 will be 0000012345.
Program RKALTOOL provides a list of all the allocation relevant tools at one place and RKALLOOK is the only program out there.

I have tried additional assignment in asset - integration with GL Account but it fails to do.
Can Please somebody help me out in this regard.
Regards
Sajid Hakeem

Hello,
>Cost center will be given in the asset master....you aware of it...ok...
>At the time of scrapping the asset the scrap will go to necessary scrap GL for that you have to give cost center in OKB9...you aware of it but you dont want to happen like this...and you need to have a different cost center(ie., as in the asset master) ....quite complicated....
> ok...to achieve this atleast should have different profit center for each assets..do you have? if so..... Then come to OKB9 in the acct assignment column give value 3 and in the subdialouge box click on Details per profit center wise ....there you can give cost center per prctr.
Hope this helps.

Change of Business Area to Cost Center (my first thread , please help)

Hi Everybody i'm Charmaine Leena Martin freshly certified FICO consultant , this is my first thread i'm posting, please help me with the same.
A wrong business area has been assigned to a cost center and postings have taken place in the same.
while using t-code KS02: change cost center , for rectifying the business area , i get the following error:
"Field change business area is not possible (transaction data exists)"
so i've created a new cost center and assigned it the right business
and using t-code kb61 : i have posted the documents to the new cost center
at that time system generates a co-document automatically:
But the accounting document of which transfer postings have taken place still shows old business area and cost center
Please let me know why is it so ,
and what has to be done with the CO document that gets posted automatically
and is there any other way out of changing the business area without creation of new cost center
Moderator: Please, search before posting

Hi Leena
Welcome to SDN
Do KB11N to post the cost back to the Wrong cost center
Do an FI Posting again Dr the Correct new cost center and Cr the Old wrong cost center
This will match both FI and CO
