Thanks in Advance

Prabhat,
Thanks for reply,
I did not understand what u mean by assigning a costing sheet to a cost center. My problem is my company wants to apply an production overhead of $X on material in particular cost center on labor hrs worked ( through Activity Types/Operation/Workcenter assigned to Cost Center ) of that particular cost center. Is it possiable. Irrecspective of Workcenter they want to apply $x/hr as an production Overhead on work done in particular Cost Center.
So they want Production Overhead is Debited to Material and Offset to the Cost Center. Is it possiable
Thanks in Advance

Budgeting at cost center level

Dear All,
Can anyone please tell me how to go about activating availability control for cost centers.I want to do budgeting at cost center level for each cost element.
Pls Its urgent
mail me to : [email protected]
Regards
besri

Hi
In transaction code KP06 you have the facility for to enter the plan data for cost centre and cost element but no availability control i.e. it will allow to do further transaction even if the actual exceeds Plan.
For budgeting you can use KPZ2 which is also for cost centre only (without cost element)budgeting without availability of control.
Both these you can maintain peridically.
Report S_ALR_87013611 - Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance which will give plan vs actual and variance
S_ALR_87013648 - Range: Actual/Budget/Commitments
If the above answer is helpful kindly assign points
Thanks & Regards

Load the Budget value at cost center level only

Hello All,
Can we load the budget value at the cost center level only with out using cost element . I have seen that we can from actual to budget in Kp98 at the cost Center level.
Thanks ,
Krishna

Hi
There is a work around...
You can create one Statistical IO for each cost center and upload your budget in it...
Keep the same nomenclature for IO as the Cost center i.e. If cost center name is 123456, have the same name for IO as well
In Substitution OKC9, you can use a Field to Field Mapping and populate same IO as the Cost center no in the posting or you can also use exit RGGBS000

Budgeting on account & cost center level

Hi ALL, My company is planning to implement SAP in the near future and I'm taking the SAP course now. According to what SAP instrcutor said, budgeting cannot be done on account & cost center level. In my company, our current practice is to record all budget figures under account & cost center level and for every expense (invoice or journal) input, account & cost center would be the mandatory fields so that budgeting can be monitored in such level.
Can anyone tell me how this can be handled in SAP?

HI
DONT TRUST that type of words.
i hope that your instructer is not a real time guy.
we have to do Budgeting at cost center lavel in Cash Budget management. why because that is (Cost Centyer)Orgnisational level Responsibility Area
and item level in Funds mangement.
But for every expence you want do the budget you have to implement Funds mange ment Module.
then your item level budgeting will be solved.
Thanks & Regards

Org Level, fund center/cost center level restriction for tcodes????

I am looking to see whether org level restriction and cost center/fund center level restriction is possible for certain set of transactions.
I am using USOBX table for this analysis. This table has a check flag field ( same as in SU24) which says whether the Tcode (program) does the authority check for certain auth objects. Example- X (checked but not maintained in USOBT). This table pulls up several authorization objects under the 'X' category. However, when I do the System trace for the same tcode, all the objects (marked as X) are not captured. Instead only a few are captured.
Can we rely on the USOBX data or should we do system Trace for every tcode. I am just pulling a report and not creating roles at this point. So trace is time consuming. But data reliability is equally important.
My objective is to verify whether org level and cost center/fund center level restriction is possible or not for some tcodes.
Do you have any suggestion to achieve this faster (through USOBX or any other means)?
Thanks in advance
Kee

I would suggest you to check USOBX_C and USOBT_C instead of USOBX and USOBT as it will have your customization as well and not just the standard ones given by SAP.
Also when check field is X ...it means the object is checked but not maintained for the t-code as you already said but I am not sure how much it will help you as the they will not be pulled by PFCG when you are creating the role until you change the object to Check / maintain . When you do that the check field will be Y and not X. So basically it is the Y one which you need to see.
Going for trace is time consuming for every t-code and I am not sure if it really needed. When your roles are in testing phase and are tested by the functional team or the team which needs it and if they are missing some object, you can run a trace and find the missing object....
I am not sure on what basis you want to change some field to Org level ...but typically it is done if you want to do segregation of roles based on these org level. There could be various other reasons and it is better to talk to your functional counterparts before changing a field to Org level.
for ex : If you want to segregate on company code, you will create co. code as Org level and create roles for different company code.

Authorization for Time Entry on Cost Center Level

Hi Experts,
Would like to know, if we can do authorisation for time entry on the base of cost center. For example, an employee worked for 8 hrs and out of that 2 hrs worked for different cost center. That 2 hrs should be approve by Manager of that cost center and 6 hrs from his current cost center.
I thought of Structural Authorisation but not sure how it will work. I would appreciate prompt response on the same.
Thanks,
Aashish

I was pointing out [the rules|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/rulesofEngagement] about requesting "promptness" from what is a voluntary effort here to help each other and help those who first try to help themselves (keyword: "search").
Actually, I noticed that you had cross-posted this thread to the HCM forum. Normally, we move threads to other forums which are more appropriate, and often lock cross-posting. This is one of those grey areas between technical and functional, so I turned a blind eye on it.
I am hoping that there will be a functionality to mirror good questions to other related forums without having to cross-post. This would be very usefull for sure but the question would have to be good and the person who asked it would have to have a good track record of respecting [the rules|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/rulesofEngagement]. Most likely moderators would be the only ones to "mirror" good questions, unless they contain words such as "urgent" or "ASAP" or "prompt" or "points will be rewarded", etc...

Cost Center Display - Urgent Please

While data entry, a particular expense range GL Account (Non Recovered VAT) is not displaying the Cost Center field. I have checked the Field Status Group of this particular GL wherein Cost Center is field is optional and not suppressed. Even the posting keys settings are perfect. On the other hand, another expense Account (Vehicle Maintenance A/c) has the similar Field Status Group and for this account the entry screen displays the Cost Center field rightly.
Please let me know where else can the input screen for a given GL Account is impacted, apart from Field Status Grp, Posting Key and Account Group.
This is a Production issue and requires immediate attention and help.
Thank you

Cost Center budget control - Urgent

hi all,
It very urgent.
Can any tell me the steps in configuring cost center budget & availability control system in ESS 5.0
Thanks,
Chandru

Hey Chandu,
budgeting is possible in Costcenters. Availability control is not possible. It can be done only for internal orders.
Availability Control helps you to recognize if possible budget overruns in time and can automatically trigger different actions & you configure availability control for each budget profile.
And this is activated only at internal order level not at cost center level.
If you want to budgeting for cost centers, goto KPZ2. But here U cannot do it cost element wise. U can do it cost center wise for each period. If U want it at cost element level do it using KP26.
Later U can draw the report using Information system plan/budget/actual variance report.
Hope this helps you
regards,
chaitanya

Activity Type at cost center

Hi All,
Is Activity types are used only at production cost centers or u can use for any material use in general, i mean, Say i ahve 2 machinerys, i spend bearings and oil for repairs, i called this activity as antifriction. i issue bearings and oil towards this activty to machinery cost center. now i want a report like how much cost i spend on antifriction activity for machine 1 & 2. How should i map my cost ceners to get this report. Can any body tell me what exactly activty types used for?
Thanks in advance
Sarayu.

Hi
Activity types classify the activities produced in the cost centers within a controlling area. To plan and allocate the activities, the system records quantities that are measured in activity units. Activity quantities are valuated using a price (allocation price).
In Overhead Cost Controlling, costs based on the activity type are posted separately in fixed and variable portions. When you divide the activities of a cost center into activity types, you should consider whether the costs can be allocated effectively to the activity types.
You can plan, allocate, and control costs either at the activity type level of a cost center, or at the cost center level.
You can also assign the activity type of a cost center directly example: deprecitation postings.
You can assign one activity type, multiple activity types, or no activity types to a cost center.
I hope this helps.

Kavitha

PLANT AS A COST CENTER

hi
we are using plant as a cost center and profit center, i want to know what are costs we will be able to collect on the cost centers and profit centers. will i be able to tract material costs , i.e materials costs for maintaienace order

Hi
Can you further elaborate on this point? The mapping of Plants to Cost Centers is 1:1. Again is the Cost Center hierarchy and Profit Center hierarchy are same?
Profit centers are basically statistical. Is the business requirement to collect at Cost center level?
Thanks

Set Clearing Account to Cost Center or Cost of Sales

Dear Expert:
I have issues for two different spareparts material number (e.g. material number "A" & "B") that posted to Interim GL Account "C" which clear to two different receiver:
a) Clear to Cost Centre
b) Clear to Profit Segmet/material Number
E.g.
1. Material number "A" - when there is stock access from the cycle count, the amount will be posted to Interim GL "C". Once this GL 'C" is cleared the amount will be posted to one Cost Centre "D".
2. Material Number "B" - when there is stock access from the cycle count, the amount will be posted to Interim GL "C". Once this Interim GL "C" is cleared the amount will be posted to material "B" under profit segment and appear in the Profitability Analysis Report.
Appreciate your advice how to check the setting why these 2 materials ("A" & "B") go to different clearing receiver.
Thanks
Zahari

Receiver type depends on purpose of the object, for eg, you have an internal order to capture some costs, which you want to anlayse at cost center level upon order closing, then you would settle to cost center. similarly you have maintanance order which you can settle to GL code if you dont have intention to capilise the costs (fixed asset).

Implication of changing the Cost center during posting

Hi all,
Due to business reasons, we have unchecked the 'Agree' indicator in the Acct assignment configuration for Asset accounting. Hence, cost center becomes editable during document posting.
We want the cost center to be editable only for ABF1 t-code and for other asset t-codes like acquistion, retirement, scrapping, transfer etc, we want to derieve the cost center from the master data.
Given the situation, I request experts' input on 2 questions -
1. Is it possible to have the cost center editable only in ABF1 and disabled in other AA transactions?
2. If cost center is editable in all the t-codes, what is the implication if the cost center is mismatched with the data available in the master record?
Please provide your inputs.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sridevi

Hi,
The client has many plants, of which only few are running in SAP and the rest non-SAP.
Whenever there is transfer of asset from non-sap plant to SAP implemented plants, we handle the situation as below in the receiver plant-
1. Treat the asset transfer as legacy asset transfer and create asset master record through AS91. Maintain the cummulative acq value and Cummu depn value till the last period in master data.
2. As legacy transfer is not real time integrated with FI, we are doing ABF1 posting to pass manual JV to record APC and Acc depn. posting. At this instance, we want the cost center to be manually keyed in. This is because, we have yet another situation, where we need to have the net book value of the asset at cost center level for our allocation cycles. Hence,
3. But, for other normal AA transactions, it shd automatically derieve from asset master.
Request your suggestion on achieving the above requirement.
Regards,
Sridevi
