PO with account assignment category K and use two cost center

Dear Experts
When I create a PO with account assignment category K and use two cost center in the account assigment tab of PO with the same GL or with different GL in the both line item, The FI document does not get posted.
Any input on this please.
Regards
Paul

Hi,
Check in the PO document - Item level - Delivery tab
There are two indicators
1. Good receipt
2. GR non-valuated.
If you are giving only one cost centre, only GR check box active and GR non-valuated check box is in-active. That's why System creating FI document during GR.
If you are giving two cost centres, Both GR check box and GR non-valuated check box are active. That's why System is not creating any FI documents during GR.

Material Ledger,Revaluation Production Cost Center ,Standard Cost

Hi, I have a problem with revaluation of production cost centers.
Firstly, production cost center expenses are settled via activity types onto the production order at the end of the period. However, CKMLCP revaluate cost centers after the settlement because of using standard price. So cost centers at the end of the period have some amount.
As a result we can not find actual price for production orders.
If I use standard cost in order to consume on cost centers, material ledger revaluates again this cost centers. I dont want this condition. Because this cost center is settled to other cost object before closing.
Thanks.

Hi
Go to the following path in SPRO:
Controlling -> Product Cost Controlling -> Actual Costing/Material Ledger -> Actual Costing -> Activate Actual Costing. Double-click on "Actiavte Actual Costing" and change the indicator from "2" to "1".

Transfer price (Internal Reveue to be allocated to Production cost Center)

Hi Sap Gurus.
My cleint using tranfer price without activiation material Ledger. The internal revenue should not reflect in Fi. For that we have created ztable and we will be able to transfer the stock between profit center and we are getting internal reveue to the sending profit sender and expenses to the receiving profit center finaally balance become a zero,(we are maintaing same gl account while doing transfer price). Now expense in receving profit center should consider as part of produt costing. how to allocate this expense to the production cost center when there is no balance.
Example
SENDING PLANT 1 MATERIAL 123456 MM PRICE (10) TP 15
RECEIVNING Plant 2 Material 123456 MM PRICE (10) TP 15
While taking STO system is posting with material master price 10, but in the production if they are using that material system should take 5 also . 10 is the cost and 5 is overhead.
help me out?

These are some few things I found out. Below is the result of a test I carried out when I tried to create a Settlement Rule for a statistical order.
Statistical order may not contain a settlement rule
Message no. KO188
Diagnosis
Order 12770, for which you are trying to create a settlement rule, is statistical.
System Response
Statistical orders cannot have a settlement rule because they cannot be settled.
Procedure
You could possibly remove the statistics indicator from the order (only if nothing has been posted to it yet).
I may be wrong but I have determined that, for production orders, you will have to use Standard Production Order Type and not a statistical order. The object class has to be production as well.
You will only be able to create a settlement rule if it is not a statistical order with the assignment category as ORD. Also, in your order type: Internal Order - Production, under general parameters, you will have to assign settlement profile 30 which is production order.
You may have to define planning profiles for co production orders, costing variant, valuation types. Maintain order types using KOT2. Example:
Order Type: PP01 Standard Production Order
Order Category: 10 PP Production Order
Number Range Interval: 1000000000--19999999999
Settlement Profile: abc
CO Partner Update: Semi-Active
Check of Classification
Next Maintain Settlement Profile: ABC Standard Production Order
Check off "To be Settled in Full
Default Allocation Structure: E.G: EB
Indicators: check off: 100% Validation. % settlement, equivalent numbers
Valid Receivers: 1 for most
Document Type: OS Order Settlement
Create Allocation etc.
Hope this gives you some pointers as to how to proceed.

Over Absorption in Production Cost Center.

Dears,
We are getting the over absorption in cost center after doing of actual price calculation settlement. we have done the following transactions at month end. eventhough we are getting over absorption (i.e., credits are more than debits) Credits are activity costs are transferred from production cost center to production/process orders or product collectors.
KO8G settlement of internal orders to cost centers.
KSV5 execution of distribution cycle.
KSII execution of actual price calculation.
CON2 revaluation at actual prices.
CO88 Settlement of Production/Process Orders.
Even after doing of the above trnasactions we are getting over absorption.
kindly advise me in order to resolve this issue.

Hi Divraj,
The same issue i am replicating in the development server i created one assessment cycle i gave one service cost center as sender and one cost element group, the group contains 10 primary cost elements(GL's), i done postings with 10 gl's respect to this service cost center, in my assessment cycle i gave one assessment cost element in segment header the sender rule is posted amounts, the receiver tracing factor contains variable portions, actual activity and no scaling, in receiver i gave cost center group contains 4 production cost centers, sender values is share in 100%, version is zero the receiver tracing factor tab contains variable portions as actual activity and one activity i maintained, the receiver weighting factor contains 4 production cost centers and factor percentage is 100%.
Now i execute the assessment cycle in KSU5 i am getting senders in cycle but receivers i am getting zero, when i took the actual activity, variable portions and no scaling i have to maintain activity price in KP26 and this cost center i have to maintain in process order that is fine please explain me how the cost will distributed to production cost center please explain the procedure in detailed.
Hopefully i will get clarity on the concept................

Determine a GL account using the cost center only as reference

hello, Is it possible to determine a GL account using the cost center only as reference?
If so, could you please provide me with the details?

Hello,
I am really not clear on your question.
If you want to make default cost center, then please go and maintain OKB9 settings.
If you want to generate a report based on a cost element (GL account in FI), go and execute KSB1

Allocation of cost from service cost center to production cost center

Dear sir ,
Will I use to distribute the cost from service department to production department and that cost centers also using for activity planing will get currect result in product costing ?

Hello,
Can you clarify what you want to do ?
Allocation of cost from service cost centers to production cost centers can be done with the help of Assessment / Distribution cycles and you can do a activity planning using the same costs as well. The steps for activity planning would be as under:
1. Create primary cost planning in the service and production cost centers (KP06)
2. Create activity planning in the production cost centers (KP26) without any rate
3. Run assessment / distribution cycles to transfer cost from the service cost centers to production cost centers (KSUB / KSVB), in case you are not transferring based on activity quantity then also do SKF planning in KP46
4. Run plan cost splitting in case you have more then one activity type (do config for splitting structure beforehand) (KSS4)
5. Calculate Plan price for the production cost center activity types (KSPI)

How to use new cost center field, new profit center field, new account field?

As I create a new change request of adding new GL account, or that of new cost center, or that of new profit center, I normally enter the new GL code GL01, or new cost center CC01 or profit center code PC01 in "General Data" section on the change requst screen, these codes (GL01, CC01, PC01) are landed in ECC upon data replication.
I do see there is another field called "New Account" of GL change request, or "New Cost Center" of CC change request, or "New Profit Center" of PC change requst all of which is under "Administrative Data" section. I have never used it. but I was wondering what the purpose it will serve and how should I use them.
Please advise,
Thanks,
LUO.

Hi Kiran,
Thanks for the info. I don't quite understand though. could you tell me more about the usage of each? Why it is used when GL or CC or PC is blocked? Would the new cost center code entered replace old cost center master record?
Thanks,
LUO

Reporting Direct Production Cost Center Over/Under Absorption

Hi,
I am trying to find a way to report Manufacturing Cost Center Over/Under Absorption in a similar way COGS are reported in CO-PA. I mean - I would like to breakdown Direct Manufacturing Cost Center Over/Under Absorption into cost elements (just like COGS are broken down in COPA when invoice is posted).
I wonder if this is possible in SAP without Material Ledger implemented. If yes - can it be achieved by using a standard functionality or does it require an additional development?
Thank you,
K

Thanky you for your reply Ranjan,
My intention was to show Cost center over/underabsorption broken down by cost componets (activity Labour, Machine, Overhead). Currently it is shown as a balance on cost center. I would like to be able to recognize which part of Direct manufacturing CC balance refers to Labour, which to Machine and which to Overhead. Is it possible to achieve in sandard report or additional settings/development is required.

Karol

Employee Listing using a Cost Center Hierachy

Hi,
I have been requested by a user to provide an employee listing from the headcount infocube in SAP BW which lists employees by cost center using an existing cost center hierarchy, but not showing them at the cost center hierarchy node levels.
My existing attempts have all resulted in the employees names being repeated for each and every cost center node where they apply, including the parent node, and not just the cost centers that they relate to.
Is there any way that the employee characteristic can be restricted just to the cost centre level only in the hierarchy.
Thanks, Ian.

Hi
As per your issue
I think is not possible becasue while creating the cost center we are entering company code at cost center level
Apart from that if you post already any transaction data to the cost center you not change the comoany code at cost center level
So we connot use for multyple company codes. if you want yo can use profit center
I hope it will helps

Product Costing using Moving Average Price of FERT & HALB

Dear Experts,
My client wants to use Product Costing functionality by using Moving Average Price instead of Standard Price on Finished Goods & Semi Finished Goods and as per my understanding, SAP recommends to use Standard Price on FERT & HALB.
I know if we use moving average price instead of standard price than there will be no concept of variances. Can anyone tell me more about what are the pros and cons of using moving average price instead of standard price in Product Costing?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Zain Bashir

Hi Zain
Let's take an example
You have V for Mat A
You create 3 Prod orders in a month
Order 1 - Qty 10 - variance 100
Same for Order 2 and 3..
At month end, you sold 20 pieces and 10 is in stock..
When you settle order 1, system will compare order qty and stock.. It will match I.e. 10 = 10... Hence variance of 100 will be posted on stock
Same will happen for Order 2 and 3... Ideally, only 100 should have posted on stock... but in this case 300 of variance will be posted on stock...
This is what the note mentioned by Arturo tells, but not so clearly
Hope this helps

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,
QC

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.

Separate gl account for cost center for movement type 201

HI Guys,
I have a the following problem:
There are three main functional areas i.g
Production - (Cost Center 10001)
Sales - (Cost Center 10002)
Admin - (Cost Center 10003)
In obyc we use 5 types of valuation classes like three sets different for production, Sales and Admin
Production
P-Electrical (GL Account 50001)
P-Tools (GL Account 50002)
P-Oil Lubes (GL Account 50003)
P-Bearing (GL Account 50004)
P-Belts (GL Account 50005)
Sales
S-Electrical (GL Account 60001)
S-Tools (GL Account 60002)
S-Oil Lubes (GL Account 60003)
S-Bearing (GL Account 60004)
S-Belts (GL Account 60005)
Admin
A-Electrical (GL Account 70001)
A-Tools (GL Account 70002)
A-Oil Lubes (GL Account 70003)
A-Bearing (GL Account 70004)
A-Belts (GL Account 70005)
I want use 5 series gl when I use Production valuation classes, 6 series when I use Sales valuation classes and 7 series when I use Admin valuation classes in VBR general modification but system allows me to use standard valuation classes.
please how I can get this problem get solved that the concerned GL accounts must be hit for proper allocation of expenses by areas.
Thanks
Ahmed

Hi
I think i have to rephrase the question .
When you do a goods issue via migo and movement type 201 the user should not be allowed to input the GL account as it should be automatically determined through valn class setting in GBB-VBR.
But in my case the system is also giving the GL account field as available to user for input .This is wrong .
How to make this field suppress / greyed out is the problem ?

Cost center empty at month end

dear all,
iw ant toa ask you one fundamental question.
is it require that the cost center should be empty at period end.
i cam across the situation that some production cost center get some cost which cant be go to product.
if i creat one more cost center cost will remain threre i know ican transfer the cots to copa but dont know how to do it
please suggest
Moderator: Please, read basic CO-PA material

HI,
it is usual that cost centers are zero balanced (not empty) at month end.
This can be achieved by settling cost center balances to CO-PA value fields using T-code KEU5 (creation of settlement cycle is done in KEU1).
best regards, Christian

Please use production cost center!
