Passing cost center to different templates

Hi all,
I am developing a Cost Center Managers dashboard. It has 5 different templates for manpower, expenditure etc. Each template has the same header with links in a tab style and a cost center drop down for them to apply to the queries.
I want to pass whatever cost center was selected on template 1 into template 2 when they click on the link. Any ideas how to do this? Currently each template remembers what was previously selected rather than displaying whatever was chosen on the previous template.
Many thanks in advance.

the link for the second template should be
template_id=<template>&var_name_1=<cost center variable name>&var_value_ext_1=<cost center number>
Regards

How to control the cost center of different company canu2019t be used across

Hi Experts,
There are 3 compamy codes in our system,and the 3 company code in one control area.Each company uses itself cost cent. When I assign cost center to an organization or a position, the cost centers of other company code can be used. We hope that cost center in different company canu2019t be used across. Anybody could help me?
Best Regards,

Hi,
we can use cost centre of company A to the employee of company b.
cost centre means expense will be distributed as per cost centre. it may be a situation where an employee of company a works some time in company B as adeputaion we can assign cost centre of company B still he belongs to company A.
generaly we assign cost centre to position through A011 relation. here you assign the cost centre of original company say A( as he belongs to company A). in IT 1018 you assign different cost centre say company B.cost will be booked to company b as 1018 will supercede a011 relation ship.

Co-pa and cost center with different profit centers?

I have a requirement to post (from fb50) to:
1) True posting: A profitability segment with profit center XXX
2) Statistical posting: A cost center assignet to profit center YYY
I enter values in cost center, profit center and Prof.segm., but as soon as I press "Enter" the system overrides the profit center I enter and derive YYY from the cost center.
If I try to change the profit center manually to XXX I get message KI350 (profitability segment being derived again) and the profit center is reset to YYY!
I have played with the field status groups and the message control, but no matter what I do I can't change the behaviour.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately it doesn't help me:-(
Since the cost center posting ends up being statistical it doesn't make sense (at least not to me...) that it takes priority over the manual entry (or one derived in the true posting - the CO-PA assignment).
I have included the profit center in my characteristic group, but it is greyed out.
I have also made a derivation specifically clearing the profit center and another one rederiving it from other CO-PA assignments. It looks fine in the derviation analysis but it doesn't change in the document!
Are there other options? Will a substitution be able to take priority over the statistical assignment?

Overtime assignment to a different cost center

Hello,
Scenario:
Overtime with different cost center
DWS: 0800 - 1700
Actual IN: 0800
Actual OUT: 2300
Approved OT: 1800 - 2400
Cost center: 10100 (This cost center is different from the cost center in IT0001) should be charged for the overtime only.
Given the scenario above, I could not use infotype 2002 (create an attendance type as overtime) since if i input 1800-2400 the system will valuate the whole six hours (6) as overtime (note: the system should only valuate 5 hours- 1800-2300; approved overtime with comparison to actual in/out).
If I will use infotype 2005, it will have the same behavior as it 2002. 1800-2400 will be paid.
If I will use infotype 2007 via the GOT function, it will valuate the overtime as 1800-2300 (approved overtime with comparison to actual in/out) correctly BUT i could not charged the corresponding cost center. I already checked the spro and it 2007's cost center could not be activated.
Do you have any ideas in mind? Any comments are appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
Thank you for your answers.
I am considering using IT2007 since it automatically distinguish which work should be valuated as overtime with regards to comparing the filed overtime (via input in IT2007) with regards to the time entries(clock in/out) of the employee.
Example:
if daily workschedule is 0800- 1700
actual in/out 0800 - 2300
entry in IT2007 is 1700 - 2400
The overtime that the system will recognize is 1700-2300.
Unlike in using IT2005, if i input 1700-2400, it will valuate 1700-2400 without considering the actual in/out of the employee.
I can manually change the IT2005 but the overtime of the employees which are assigned to another cost center are 1000+records in a day. If I manually edit the entries in IT2005, it will be very tedious. Same goes if it is via 2010.
Do you guys have other ideas in mind?
Btw, I am using positive time eval.
Thanks in advance.

Allocation of cost to different cost center

Hi Techies,
I have to allocate cost from one cost center to different cost center according to percentage (%). Company wants to show same cost on sender and then breakdown according to % on receiver cost center.
Example: Company wants to allocate cost from CCenter A to Ccenter B1, B2, B3.... according to % like 74.1% to B1, 14.8% to B2. Now which allocation functionality (Assessment, Distribution) I should use to solve this problem. I would really appreciate if you have method or process step to perform this process.
Thank You,
Kenny

Use transaction KSU2 to call the Assessment Cycle.
Click on "First Segment" and in the segment header, under Sender Values, select Posted Amounts and key in 100% (since you wish to assess all the costs). Under Receiver Tracing Factor, select Fixed Percentages.
Click on the "Senders/Receivers" tab. Now under "Senders", do an F4 (dropdown list) in the Cost Centres field and select your Cost Centres (or groups).
Similarly click on the Cost Elements and dropdown to select your Cost Elements or groups.
Now under Receivers, in the Cost Centre field, key in the Cost Centres you wish to post costs to.
Click the next tab Sender Values
Here, enter Share in % as 100% (default) and under version, enter 0.
Now click on the Receiver Tracing Factor tab. You should see all the Cost Centres you entered under Receivers in the Sender/Receiver tab. Enter the %s you wish to apportion to each Cost Centre.
Save this cycle and run this for the period in question. Before you run this, make sure you post some costs to the Sender Cost Centres. Else the system will find nothing to assess and come back with the same error.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Restricting issue of goods to cost center with respect to material type

Dear Users,
I have a requirement like we want to restrict issue of goods to cost center with respect to material type i.e., we want to issue goods to cost center only through reservation and that too only for specific material types. Is there any standard solution for this, please provide your suggestions.
Thanks,
Manoj

Hi Ajay,
Thanks for valuable input.
I also thought in the same line , but user has the following concern on this:
Assessment Cycle: As per Users, it cannot be used because this will allocate based on allocation basis. But they need, the values that was posted at the time of transaction and as per materials. So it wont be accurate through Assessment cycle,
OKB9: They have different Cost center for different valuation area for the same GL Account.
Hence through OKB9 also, we cannot post directly to COPA.
That's the reason the above option were not adopted.
My other concern to this is:
In CKM3, we have two lines under consumption, one for Normal sales PGI and other is Cost Center.
After doing revaluation of consumption in CKMLCP, we see one line under Cost Center :Revaluation of Consumption Figure"
My question, where can I see that figure whether in any table or in Cost Center report??
If that is also available we can try to match those values and post to COPA.
Let me know your thought on this.
Thanks and regards
Kami

Commitment code---cost center and gl

There is a issue regarding budgeting.
we have some option that we are considering. pls give some views on it
option 1 whenever we put a cost center while making any posting ,system picks up a commitment code and then budget gets allocated. but here same commitment code gets selected for same cost center but different expenses in same cost center.
cost center is a/c              commitment code is       cc1    (g/l 1 repairs)
cost center is a/c              commitment ocde is       cc2    (g/l 2 salary )
option 2. we have a GL bank charges and cost center then based on this combination of gl and cost center a specific commitment code    a/c-b.charges get filled in commitment field.
if we have another cost center (IT) and same GL bank charges then based on this second combination another commitment code gets selected     IT-b.charges
so    for cost center 1              if there are 30 commitment codes
then for cost center 2              there will be another 30 commitment codes
so we have 60 cost centers then in all we will have 1800 commitment codes.
we want a way in which less commitment codes are opened yet we are able to achieve what we are getting in second option.

Cost center distribution

Hi,
Kindly Advice how to distribute expenses from one cost center to different cost centers
My client was asking for only reporting purpose but amount should not allocate from one cost center to different cost centers
For Ex : 20 G/L accounts are created as a cost element while doing the transaction with this G/L accounts they will assign one cost center
Month end they want to distribute ratio wise to different cost centers but amount should not post to different cost centers
and every month percentages will be change based on that client should get the report
Is there any standard report?
Regards
Srinivas

HI Mgitur
Thanks for speedy reply
Actually my client was asking for reporting purpose only
For ex : 2 cost elements are there (G/L accounts)
2100000 (G/L)
2200000 (G/L)
In this G/L accounts transaction are done with 100000 (210000 G/L) rs and 150000 (220000 G/L)
While posting the transactions to this G/L accounts the cost center "A" was assigned
Now these amount he want to distribute percentage wise to different cost centers like B,C,D
But this amount should not allocate to different cost centers that amount should be in the same G/L account and same cost center
i have tried distribution cycle in KSV1 t code and run in the KSV5
But in that we will mention some percentages based on that i am getting report properly in the test run mode
Unfortunately if client remove test run button that amount will be posted to different cost centers so it's not correct way and morever every month percentages also will be change based on that client should be change percentages and have to get report based on new percentages
In the KSV1 client cannot change percentages because of configuration issue so he cannot change in the KSV1
Please give me the suggestion for this

Cost Center Authorization in MB21

Dear Sir,
We are unable to restrict the user to create reservation for one plant and choosing the cost center for the same plant. He may choose cost center of different plant for movement type 201 in T.Code MB21. The same is also happening in case of reservation through 221 and choosing WBS.
We want to know how can we restrict the same. We have checked it through our BASIS Team.
Regards
Mudit Gupta

Hi
Cost Center is defined at company code level.
But user have authrizations for one particular plant which is assigned to company code
Hence it is not possible to restrict

Cost Center Issue

Hi All,
I need to change the reports to relationship of an org unit A from Org unit1 to Org unit 2.
Now When I go in Po10 and change the reporting relationship for org unit A I get the message
"Entry is not allowes due to differenet cost center and person".
Now i checked in the table for cost centers and company codes and figured out that Org unit A belongs to a diffenet cost center which is tied to Singapore Comapny code and Org unit 2 belongs to US company code.
So I cant do the reports to relationship in OM because of diff cost center assignment to diff company codes.
But, We have a case in the system where org unit P in Japan with diffent cost center reports to Org unitQ in US with diffenent cost center.
I was just wondering how this relationship had been maintainned because here also we have diffenrt cost centers attached to different company codes. Then why is not possible in my case when i am trying to change rel for singapore orgunit to US org unit.
I checked from PA side also, No special transfer action has been run on the employees belonging to Japan cost center.
Can you please help me in solvingthis.
How can i change the reports to rel w/o running any action on PA side?
Regards
Aryan

How is config done. Where do we configure this.
Pls help me

Cost Center based Release Strategy for PR's

System :4.6c
At this time, we have PR release strategy with classification configured for over all release.
Created a new characteristic for cost center , assigned the values for the cost center characteristic, with zeros at the beiginnig.
Now when I create a PR with multiple line items and with multiple cost centers, the system is not deriving the release strategy defined. But if I create multiple line items with the same cost center, the system is able to find the right release strategy.
Does it have to be the same cost center in all the line items to trigger the right release strategy?
Thanks.

Hi,
Looking at your question it seems you are using overall release strategy. If the characteristic value is not same for all line items then during overall release strategy determination, the system uses "BLANK" value for this characteristic.
In order for a release strategy to be found, when you have different
cost center in different PR items you need to add a blank value to your allowed characteristic value for the cost center in your release strategy. Also use Account Assignment Category (KNTTP) as one of your characteristics and define K as an entry, so that release is triggered only when it determines cost center blank with account assignment K.
But if for diff cost centers there is diff strategy then you better opt for Item level Release.
Please give this a Try.

Mandatory field of Profit Center in Cost Center

Hi
Can I know how to consider profit center as mandatory field in cost center because at present it is optional.
Urgent.
thanks

Dear Manisha Sarma!
I think you want to make Profit Center as mandatory while creating/Modifying Cost Center KS01/KS02. If yes, YOU CAN'T because SAP has provided flexibility to derivate the Profit Center by defining "Default account assignment" in OKB9. Since, there may be different Profit Centers per one Cost Center for different Cost Elements.
So, as per your request if SAP makes Profit Center mandatory in KS01/KS02 we can't define Derivation Rules (OKB9) flexibly, because it is confined to only one Profit Center if we give in KS01/KS02. Moreover, Profit Centers are automatically derivated by the system based on configuration done in OKB9.
All these are only applicable only when you Activate Profit Center.
Reward the points if you got the solution for your query.

New FI GL vs Cost Center Data

Hi Gurus,
I am using 0FIGL_C10 and 0FI_GL_10 extractor for my P&L report. In New gl the extractor pulls glaccounts, profit center and cost centers into the cube. Now when i create a P&L report on figl cube and drill down by cost center and compare the same cost center and gl account in 0CCA_C11 cube i see different values?
my question is the cost center based P&L information i get in 0FIGL_C10 is it different from 0CCA_C11?
Can someone explain me the fundas??
Would be great help
Surya

Thanks for you reply. But i have to give a valid reason to my client. I understand that its Financial Accounting and Cost Center accounting but following are my questions
1) what is the purpose of having cost center information in FIGL cube/extractor? when i specifically look of a single expense account and for single cost center its different values in FIGL cube and CCA_C11 cube?
can you please explain functionally the different
for example GL account 600000 for Cost center C7000 has 100000 value in FIGL_C10 (FI_GL_10, FAGLFLEXT Table)
for the same account and same cost center the value is 569000 in CCA_C11 cube.
Since i have to explain my client that they should create reports on cost center cube if they want to see expense values can you explain the functionality difference
would be great help
