Post to multiple cost object

hi,
if at the same time there is posting to more than 1 co object, for example to cost center and copa or other combination of cost object, how do i know to which co object is real posting and which co object is just statistical?
thanks

Hi,
When we post to Internal Orders and Cost Centers, then Cost Centers will be taken as statistical if Inter Order is a Real Order.
in the case where u mentioned Cost center and Profit Center, Profit center is always a statistical posting irrespective of the other cost objects.
So Not to compare PC with CC.
if simulteneous postings are made to Cost Center and either COPA or Internal Order (real), COPA Segment or Internal Order will have superceding effect than Cost Center
I hope you got the concept.
Please award points suitably if you are satisfied with the answer. else please let me know for further clarifications
Best Regards

Create confirmation for multiple cost objects PO in SUS

Hi,
Is it possible to create confirmation for multiple cost objects PO ( order type 'MA') in SUS ?
We are going to implement SRM 7.
Thanks & regards,

Hi All,
First of all, thanks for your responses..
Right, about the issue, what I explained here was that I am indeed assigning only one cost object: the WBS element. The issue was that even though I am assigning only the WBS element, it was also assigning the cost to the cost center by default. I did some R&D and found the solution to the issue (I was also asked to look for OSS notes but was not satisfied that this issue needs an OSS note to be applied so tried my solution). The issue was in table: T788M (allocate costs to variable account assignment). Here, I created an entry and called it USERGROUP_2 (just a random name) and assigned the variable cost objects (only the WBS and the Cost center) to be displayed. In the next step, I assigned this usergroup to the country in quesion feature (TRVCO). By doing this, I tell the system that only these cost objects are to be considered when an employee wants to assign the cost object. If the system sees that there is no value from the drop down to choose from, it picks up the default cost object (cost center). This was a simple issue that I had to rattle my brains on... but the solution I mention above worked like a hot knife going through butter...
If you guys face this issue, please try this else feel free to get in touch with me on my number below.
Once again, thanks for your responses.

Cost assignment-Multiple cost objects being selected by default from the EP

Hi,
I have created an expense report from the Portal and entered the cost object - a WBS element and saved the report. Now, when I check in table: PTRV_SCOS, it shows me the cost object assigned are - both - the WBS Element as well as the Cost center. This is incorrect as there should be only one cost object - either the cost center or the WBS element. However, when I book the expenses from the backend, it works fine. Only the WBS or cost center is displayed in the table mentioned above. Anyone has any idea as to why this is happening?
Many thanks in advance for your efforts.
Cheers guys.
Hope to hear from you soon
Best regards,

How to post depreciation to multiple cost centre?

Hi
In the asset master there is only one cost centre for each asset. This cost centre determines the cost centre to post to for depreciation expense. Is there a way to post to multiple cost centre?
Hope someone can advise.
Thank you.

Hi,
1) Substitution rules would help you.
2) Through distribution or assessment allocate the depreciation expenses to multiple cost centers.
Thanks,

BAPI/Function Module for posting internal order + cost center plan

Hi Guru:
Is there any function module/BAPI, which could be used to post internal order + cost center( both of them )plan data?
Like post a record:
internal order = 10000
cost center = C1000
amount = 1000$
for plann version 30?
It seems the BAPI could only contain 1 cost object, either cost center or internal order.
Thanks.
Eric

Hi again,
I think you may have missed something important here. In R/3 there can only be a single "real" cost object for any one posting. If not then the whole SAP financail model would collapse as there would be "double postings" and that is certainly not wanted.
If there is a need to post to two cost objects, like in your case, then one of the cost objects MUST be statistical.
In your scenario SAP has thought of a solution that might be of help for you. An internal order can be set to be statistical in master data. When posting to both the cost center and the internal order then you will get a real posting for the CC and a statisitical posting for the IO. Reporting does work with this as per your requirement.
Hope this gives you some hints for how to proceed.
Regards, Johan
Aaaaah. Noted that this was only plan data. Sorry. But the same still applies for plan data postings as well as for actual data postings. If there should be just one posting that could be "drilled down" from IO to CC -> If you post twice then, when doing "Grand total" for instance, double values would appear. So, still IO should be statistical. //Johan

Assignment of Materials to Cost Object Nodes in Cost Object Hierarchy

We have defined a Cost Object Hierarchy. In the Cost Object Hierarchy , there are multiple cost object nodes. These cost object node represents each Prodcution line.
There is a requirement that any material can be produced in any production line.
The issue I am facing is if I am assiging one material to one Production line, and again if I am trying to assign the same material to other production line, the system is not allowing me to assign it.
How Can I resolve this issue.
kindly help.
regards

Hi
Ideally, each prod line should be represented by a Production Version in PP... You can assign a combination of Material + Prod Version to each Cost Obj Node... You cant assign just a Material No to more than 1 node
The Prod Version Field might appear in Grey Mode.. But, it will allow you to select the Prod Version in that Field....
You can also use BADI workorder_update to check while creating production order that the Prod Version being used in the Prod Order must be assigned to Cost Obj Node... Cost Obj Nodes are stored in the table CKPE

Controlling Post Order of Multiple View Objects

Hi ,
Here is the scenario:
I have a use case of "Creating an Abstract"
Steps:
step1 ) (Page 1) Author presents the details of the abstract (Details goes to 2 tables ABSTRACT & ABSTRACT_CONTENT tables). For the 2 tables i have 2 entities. I use a view here called CreateAbstractView from both the tables( here i control the post order of the entities ....code from jdeveloper 11g guide)
Step 2)(Page 2) Author presents details of Additional Authors. I use the view (*AdditionalAuthorDetailsView*) (Details goes to 2 tables AUTHOR & ABSTRACT). Here in the abstract table i have a parent key(parent abstract id) So all the additional authors has a record in Abstract table with parent_abstract_id from step1. ABSTRACT table also has a foreign key (author_id) .Here also i control the post order of the 2 entity object using the code from jdeveloper 11g guide.
I also have a link from CreateAbstractView to AdditionalAuthorDetailsView (abstract_id in Abstract table from CreateAbstractView to parent_abstract_id in Abstract table from AdditionalAuthorDetailsView )
If i have a commit on both the pages , i don't see a problem.
But i want to have a commit process at the end so that the user can review the information. So when i try to add a commit process at the end , i get a exception (Parent Key not found exception) which i came to understand that commit from AdditionalAuthorDetailsView is happening first which is trying to insert a record into ABSTRACT table and cannot find the parent_abstract_id.
How do i control the post order for multiple view objects in such scenarios?

Hi!
Please take a look at the dev guide. It comes down to controlling the posting order on entity level.

How to populate the sales order as a cost object in cost element posting

When posting sales to a cost element the error comes up stating Account ******** requires an assignment to a CO object.
This comes from the sales (repair) order and I would like to pass the sales order and line as a cost object.
Could someone please tell me where I would make the configuration to pass that into the accounting document?
Thank you,
Sergiy

Snavaneetha,
unfortunatelly I don't have access to any CO consultants that could help me on this one. We are a small company so I am an unofficial CO consultant for time being
Anyway, maybe I should post this one on the CO forum as well.
I looked at the material master and I don't see the field for the GL account or cost element anywhere like you said. I do see the account assignment group and that's where my account determination procedure determines the right one to use, and it is trying to post to the account I need it to post but I get the above error, for some reason the sales order that I am billing for does not get passed at a cost object to this cost element account during billing.

Cost object for raw material consumption posting

the raw material cosumption posting is done in the background when the goods issue is done. so where do we assign cost object for the primary cost element of raw material consumption account. since we create primary cost element for raw material consumption account, it will expect us to give cost object, so where we assign cost object for the raw material consumption cost element

hi
since the raw material cost is relevent for cost accounting u need to maintain primary cost elment accounts.When ever u confirm goods, the rm issue will take place automatically and will be debited to either product cost collector or production order. so u need not to assign any cost object for these consumption accounts why bcoz issues will take palce aganist a production order or product cost collector which is a cost object .

KI235 - can post without cost object if select "continue" in profit segment

Hello all, I have a GL account where cost object is required. This works correctly and KI235 error message is given. However, if I go into the profitability segment and select CONTINUE - even though no cost object is assigned, SAP allows posting to the account without any cost object.
This seems to be a bug in SAP but I couldn't find any OSS notes related to it. We are on ECC6.0 and did a support pack upgrade in April.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Regards, Cheryl

Hi Sridhar,

   In my case is with the electronic bank statements.

Can we post to two real cost objects?

how many cost objects can we use at the time of posting? and how many real objects can we use at the time of posting? as far as my knowledge we can use one real object. but in one interview , the interviewer said that we could use two real objects? if he is correct, please give clarification on this.
Thank you for your valuablt time and valuable answer in advance
AAR

Hi,
You can always do manual reposting like you pass Journals in FI. Or for that matter when you do allocation of expenses using Distribution.
Basic idea is you cannot debit 2 cost objects for the same expenses at the same time. as long as you follow the accounting principle of debiting one cost object & crediting another, that is allowed.

GL Account : Cannot be posted to cost object, please check your entry

Dear All,
I've problem in general posting or in FBCJ (cash journal) ....
When I try to make journal : Debit Expense and Credit Cash in F-02 or in FBCJ then I chose Post an error appear " Cannot be posted to cost object, please check your entry " ..
Because GL account "Expense" assigned to cost element, I need to fill cost object ... when I filled it with Internal order or WBS, the error appeared , but there was no error when I filled with Cost center ....
For your info there was no problem with Field Status Group ( I thought ) cause I ticked with Optional entry for WBS and IO ...
Beside it, I've assigned the company code in Controlling Area and Operating Concern ...
Network in WBS was in optional
Please give me solutions
BR,

Multiple cost centers postings in RE-FX.

Hello everyone!
We are currently implementing SAP Flexible Real Estate solution to manage the company's properties. We are facing some problems regarding the distribution of rental costs among multiple costs centers. Our scenario is basically this (example):
1)In our usage view we have one building with three rental spaces connected to it. Each rental space has different area-measurements and represents different segments in our company (with a specific cost-center associated to it).
2)The company doesn`t own the building, the structure is rented from a person outside the organization. In this case we`ve created a Commercial lease-in type of contract (external contract, where the company is the user of the object).
3)This contract contains the three rental spaces mentioned above, and we've configured the contract condition to distribute the rental costs among these objects based on the area measurement.
4)When we perform transaction RERAPP for this contract to pay the vendor we`ve noticed that even though the costs where divided among the objects, the cost-centers were not updated.
Considering that the contract doesn't have a cost center field in it and also considering that we have to update multiple cost-centers (with a distribution criteria based on measurements), we would like to know if someone have this kind of problem before?
We are using an older version of the SAP System(4.7) that doesn't offer as many options as more recent versions (such as 6.0)
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
In this case, instead of Cost centres, Real estate Objects will act as the Cost carriers. No need for Cost centres at all.
Since the Real Estate Objects master data contain Profit centre field, the values posted to Real estate Objects will be automatically carried to the Profit centres as well.
During Periodic processing of Real Estate Contracts, the system will automatically post to the Transfer and Posting. During transfer posting values will be posted from Real Estate Contract to the Real estate Object.
You can track costs and revenues through Real Estate Objects directly, No need for Cost centres at all.
Thanks
Siva

Multiple Cost Centers in PO

When a PO is entered with Multiple Cost Centers, and Account Assignment Cateogry K, the GR Non-Valuated indicator in the item details (Delivery Tab), gets checked automatically. This caused the subsequent GRN to be non valuated as well and no accounting document were posted at the time of GRN. How can this be rectified ? i.e How to enter a PO with multiple cost centers and Acct Assignment Category K, which is valuated and thus costs are allocated at the time of GRN (mvt type 101) ?

Hi,
You GR is not valuated for Cost center PO as GR Non-Valuated Check box selected for cost object K which can be cross checked in OME9 t.code for account assignment category K,if want GR valuated, just remove the check box and create PO, do GR and find the difference.
As you want to post multiple accounts with single cost center, then use t.code:OME9, double click K, and enter 2 in I 1D-Acct assignment field instead of 1 and save. Now create PO, do GR and find the difference.

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.

Amol
