Overall Release with Cost Centers

I have a questions concerning the overall release procedure. I was told that we cannot have mulitple Cost centers on the same PR when using the overall release strategy. Is this true? If not how do you get around this problem. The release procedure is working but when I enter in two items with two different cost centers I receive an error. Please let me know

Hello every company is facing this problem. To avoid this create a Characterics value as BLANK in the CT04. Input thsi BLANK in CL24N for the particular release strategy.
in SAP; when 2 cost centres are at the line item level; while determining the corect release strategy at header level; the cost centre value cecomes NULL; hence by inserting the BLANK value; the release strategy is picked.
I have done thsi for one of my clients.
you can reach me if you need further clarificaion. I am in Bangalore.

  • Overall budget less than overall release with CJ35

    Hi
    When I retrun amount from Project through CJ35 system gives me following error:
    "Overall budget less than overall release"
    Any other steps requires before Returning Budget?
    Regards
    Sujit

    I sense that the overall budget is distributed over a time frame of more than 1 year.
    Part of the budget was released for the current year... and some of it was consumed.
    Now you wish to return the surplus.
    2 cases here.
    Return in the project (not the cause of error msg that you are getting) and
    Return from the project.
    Here in second case when you do the CJ52 Transaction on the distributable budget, the system updates the returns within the project, meaning that the total budget is reduced accordingly.
    Kindly refer this link below. Hope this info helps

  • Purchase Requisition Overall Release problem with several CostCenter

    Hello Gurus!!
    I need your comments!!! 
    I define the Purchase requisition as Overall Release, and woks !!  but I have a Issue.
    I have an entry in the CL24N txn as follow:
    AccAssgCat = K
    Plant              = CC01
    CostCenters = 10001
                            10002
                            10003
    totalAmt        = 1USD to 1000US
    So when I create my purchase requisition with only 1 Cost Center the release strategy is called and PR can be released.
    But When I create the purchase requisition with CC 10001 and 10003, the requisition is not subjet to release!!! (note TotalAmt = 15usd)
    I assume that as both are into the release strategy the system will take both CC and ask for release!!
    What I can do to fix this situation??

    Dear Marco Antonio,
    I have never faced your issue, but have an idea of what you can do.
    Activate Enhancement M06B0005   EXIT_SAPLEBND_004
    Then in the program zxm06u31 put the following code line:
    e_ceban = i_ceban.
    and also  a breakpoint so that it stops automatically upon PR verification or saving.
    Activate and then create a PR with the problem you are facing. On saving the program will stop in your breakpoint.
    Look at structure i_ceban there you will find the values that your release strategy is getting from the document and with which it will try to determine the strategy based on your classification.
    I the standar logic is not what you want maybe you can put some logic of your own based on account assignments in structure C_EBKN.
    Well, tell me what happens

  • Open PO report with GL's and Cost Centers

    Hi Gurus,
    Is there a report that already exists where we can run open purchase
    orders not received for non-inventory items that pulls the quantity,
    price, GL account code, and cost center account code?
    Thanks
    Anusha

    Hi,
    May be the requirement will not be met in a single report.Please check the t code ME2K with selection parameter as we101 which gives you the open POs for that cost center or range of cost centers.
    EKPO gives price details.
    and check the table EKKN for GL account and cost center for that PO.
    If you want open POs check the T code ME80FN.

  • Problems after transfering Cost centers with LSMW

    Hi,
    I have a problem after transfering Cost Centers with LSMW.
    The first Batch input run created all cost centers in one CC Group erroneously - cause they should be placed in different CC groups.
    I changed LSMW settings and made another batch input run - now the Cost centers were created in proper groups. I think that I deleted all CC's created in previous batch input run, but now I am not too sure, because there is a problem...
    Cost centers exist both in their proper groups and in the one group mentioned by me before. So there is such situation that Cost center appears in Standar hierarchy twice at the same time.
    When I delete cost centers - they are removed from their proper groups but the CC entry remains in that one group - all CC are there inactive.
    How can I get rid of them. I tried deleting them - but it's impossible - the system doesn't see them.
    When I run the batch input again - the same cost centers appear in proper groups and at the same time they become active in the one group. The standard hierarchy group is not UNIQE.
    Please advice me how to delete these entries from standard hierachy.
    Best wishes,
    Karol

    Hi,
    Always recommended before loading into live system: upload in test system and check. check again just to make sure all is correct before real load.
    In your case you probably would have been best to do a group change after incorrect upload.
    Do Ambiguity check in stadnard hierarchy to explore all incorrect entries. Depending on your version yo ucan change in that function (ECC6) ore need to run a report. Before running the report check that CC master records have correct entry. The report is RKCORRH1
    Again, try in QA first and run in Test Run
    Good luck

  • CK24 - mark and release with different costing version

    Hi,
    We are currently using standard costing variant PPC1 and costing version 1 to mark and release the standard costs. However when we try to recost the material cost due to price changes, system does not allow to mark & release revised standard cost if we try to mark & release on same day. pls note standard cost estimate is already released for the month. And we do not want to delete existing standard cost estimate. Instead we want to explore other options. We are using 4.7.
    My questions are :
      a) Can recost using costing version 2? CK11N allows to save the costing result. However in CK24 Marking allowance, system does not allow to change Costing Version. is there any config option to change this.
    b) If  we cannot use different cost version, can we update material cost with same costing variant (PPC1) and costing version (1) in this case. However when we tried to do recost with same costing variant & verison on same day, system gives an error 'Material AAAA in plant MMM has a released cost estimate.'
    Any inputs on above issue highly appreciated.
    thanks
    Sunil

    Hi,
    While, you can use any of the Costing versions to mark & release Standard cost estimate, you can release Cost estimate only once in a fiscal period. If you want to release correct prices, then you have delete existing released cost estimates using CKR1 transaction and then re-run CK40N to release.
    Hope this helps.

  • One warehouse with three cost centers

    Dear GURUs,
    We are facing a problem while doing following activity
    1. We have one warehouse (suppose 2465), which is sending material to three sales offices(2415,2416,2417) from sales office the material is dispatched to customer.
    2.(Old setting)We have assigned the each sales office to each cost center & profit center is taken through material at plant.
    3. (new setting) Profit center is removed from material master .  
    4. While sending a material from warehouse to sales office customer ,we are putting the profit center at sales order field.System automatically picking the profit center which is entered in the sales order.
      5. But at same time if freight or any other condition(discount or rounding off) is put then system is picking warehouse as cost center
    But we require respective sales office cost center
    Note: Customer's sales office should be considered as a cost center as material will be dispached directly from warehouse to customer.
    With Regards

    Dear,
    IF you have to take care of capacity planning and scheduling, then you need to use  only one WC and having two WC will not serve the pirpose.
    Generaly you cannot assign WC to 2 different cost center unless the period is different.
    Then the only solution is let the cost get posted to 1 common cost centre. Then at the month end distribute the cost to 2 different cost centers depending on then qty produced.
    This is the one laternative we are following.

  • PR overall release strategy with acc. assignment category characteristics

    Hi,
    Here is my issue : i created an Overall release strategy but the characteristic is on item level. In some precise cases, no release is generated.
    see below more details :
    I have created the following PR release strategy with classification.
    PR type concerned " NB": overall release
    Rlease group concerned : overall release
    In this release group i have 1 class
    in this class i have 2 characteristics : PR type and Account assignement category.
    Release strategy 1 :
    PR type = NB
    Acc. assignment cat = P, W
    Release strategy 2:
    PR type = NB
    Acc. assignment cat = K, V
    TEST 1 : PR type NB, 1 item with P category
    OK the release strategy 1 is generated
    TEST 2 : PR type NB, 1 item with W category
    OK the release strategy 1 is generated
    TEST 3 : PR type NB, 2 items with P category
    OK the release strategy 1 is generated
    TEST 4 : PR type NB, 2 items with P and W category
    TEST KO, no release strategy is generated
    => what should i do to solve this issue ?
    Thank you in advance for your quick answers,
    Isabelle

    What is the specific requirement for Overall release strategy?
    Besides, once you go for Overall release strategy, you cannot have another release strategy at item level.
    Every line item generates a PO, so logically should be set to a release strategy.
    Bottomline is use release strategy at line item level Unless a specific reason exists.

  • How to use multiple cost centers with internal order for PO

    Dear Gurus,
    I have one issue.
    For indirct purchase with posting over internal order, my client wants to book good reciepts over different cost centers.
    Thanks In advance
    Regards,
    Sameer

    Hi Sameer,
    For the scenario you have mentioned, you need to check the account assignement at the PR/PO wherein
    you can take Cost center as actual object & internal order (statistical) as assignments.
    At the time of Goods receipt the system will the automatically post to Cost center with a statistical posting to Internal order.
    You have the second option of maintaining account assignment at time of PR/PO as Inetrnal order only (Actual) & then at the month End you can settle the cost to multiple Cost centers by defining the settlement Rule. For Eg. At the time of settlement you can post 20% to Cost center "A", 50% to Cost center "B" & 30% to Cost center "C".
    Assign points...if useful.

  • Problems with over/under absorption on production cost centers - GBB AUI

    Hi,
    I have a problem with over/under absorption on production cost centers after month end closing.
    We are using material ledger CKMLCP and actual activity rates from direct cost centers are settled directly to products using GBB AUI account determination.
    Unfortunately from time to time there appears a significant balance on production cost centers after running CKMLCP. What might be the reason? I have analysed line items on cost centers but cannot find any answers.
    We are using assignment of cost elements to particular activity types (function splitting), and I have checked that all cost elements are assigned to proper activity types.
    Best regards,

    Hi,
    DP90 is used for Resource related billing, is broad term basically when you performing service that time you have to raise billing on the basis of resources which you had spend for perticular service
    DP90 is run on the basis of DYNAMIC ITEM PROCESSOR,
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_di471/helpdata/en/59/54fc37004d0a1ee10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
    I will tell you one process from the prspective of CS module
    Create notification >> Create service order >> Confirm service order >> Resource releted billing (genrates sales document) >> Invoice to customer with refrance to sales document.
    Now here DP90 is used to determine material,IN SALES DOCUMENT because CS module don't have billing feature as like SD Billing.
    In CS module activities/Operation,but in SD module we speciefy material codes
    So DIP determines XYZ activity/operation is ABC material in SD

  • Balance Upload at golive with WBS or Cost Centers

    Hi Gurus,
    Appreciate if you can tell me what should be cutover strategy related to initial customer/vendor and GL balances at the time of GO live, specially related to lines related to WBS and Cost Centers?
    The current live projects which client is having in the system, how we give those wbs elements in balances templates? How that data will go to cost centers? Will we do project settlement just after uploading data to WBS so that real picture can come in cost centers?
    Appreciate if you can please share strategry if we are going live in mid year which is may? and also how to enter p&L items for jan, feb march and april in system, so that client can see their profit and loss?
    Thank You
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Please do recording through transaction code SHDB and enter the available WBS element.
    Once recording has been done include function module  ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE in that so whenever you download file your flat file will have all those fields taken into consideration while recording.
    Mr Ajay is right some companies don't take P& L items into consideration as they are not carry forward to the next month, but my advise is that you take into consideration P& L items accountwise as you will need to match legacy Trial Balance and SAP Trial balance i.e. it should be 0 (Debit and Credit). If y ou post entire amount to retained earnings account you will not get individual balance in future GLwise which will result no TB individual G/L wise.
