Integ bn OM and Cost Distribution

What is the use of integration between OM and Cost Distribution. What if I activate it and what if I do not activate it?
Points assured,
Thanks.

Hi,
In case you define Cost Assignments for your OM object like Org Units or Positions, then the person who occupies such positions or belongs to such Org Units (via positions) are automatically assigned cost centers attached to that Postion/Org unit.
This way you do not need to have cost centers defined in IT 0027 for the employees.
Payroll reads the Cost Center from OM and the results are posted accordingly in FI.
I have not heard of any switch to activate this or to deactivate this. However, there is no problem whether you use this functionality or not. It purely depends on the client requirements.

Infoset query of vendor payments at the cost distribution level

We would like an infoset query of vendor payments at the cost distribution level of the document. The issue seems to be joining vendor to the document cost distribution lines.
1.) BSAK + BSIK can be combined with an infoset data structure but only contain the vendor line of a document; the cost distribution lines are not in the tables.
2.) BSIS + BSAS can be combined with an infoset data structure but lack vendor data and joins (to a vendor source) are not an option with data structures. Vendor data added with an additional field is too slow to be a primary selection field.
3.) Logical data base KDF in an infoset returns only the vendor line of a document, not the cost distribution lines.
4.) Logical data base BRM in an infoset can have vendor from BSAK/BSIK attached by an additional field but performance is too slow to be useful. Joins are not an option in a logical data base infoset.
5.) Complete data is lacking when table joins between document cost distribution tables and vendor data tables are possible, (SPL actual line item table & BSIP or FMIFIIT & FMIFIHD). BSIP lacks AB documents (reversals). FM tables lack general ledger only documents.
6.) BSAK and BSIK together have complete vendor data but joins of both to a basis table do not work well. Left outer joins are too slow, inner joins won’t work since the tables have mutually exclusive data.
It would be ideal to have vendor in BKPF, like FMIFIHD has, but it isn't a field.
Does anyone know of any other options? I have seen the helpful thread on How to Read BSEG Efficiently

Refresh problem in Shopping Cart and PO in cost distribution in SRM 7.0

Hi ,
As of now we are working in SRM 7.0. Actually when we are changing the account assignment cateogary from WBS to Asset then the cost distribution need to be changed from Percentage to quantity and vice-versa. But this is not happening .
Can somebody hlp on this if you guys came across such issue.

Cost distribution will not change automatically when you change the account assignment category. You will ve to distribute it manually on the same lines as you did for Cost Center earlier

Error while doing cost distribution

Hi all:
while I am trying to do cost distribution , a message comes that
Cycle DOFF is not valid on 11/01/2008
Message no. GA509
Diagnosis
Cycle DOFF is valid as of the starting date 04/14/2009
System response
This cycle cannot be processed.
Could you please tell me how solve the issue ?
Thank you very much

Hi,
The error is because you have created Cycle DOFF with the starting date 04/14/2009 & you are trying to run the distribution cycle for November 2008.
For which period do you want to run the cycle?
1) If it is for April 2009, then enter the correct period & year when executing the cycle.
2) If it is for November 2008, then you will have to increase the validity of the cycle. I dont think you can change the start date of a cycle. You could however create a new cycle with validity period Nov 2008 to Dec 9999 by copying the cycle DOFF & only changing the start & end date. Then execute this new cycle.

Cost distribution SRM to R/3 - based on VALUE

Hi all,
We are working on SRM 5.0 and R/3 4.7.,ECS
In shopping cart when the cost dsitirbution is sleected as "VALUE",when the corresponding SRM PO replicates to R/3,the cost distribution always changes to percentage/quantity....Why is that R/3 system recognises the cost distribution only for quantity or percentage???
Also we are now upgrading iur R/3 system to ECC 6.0.Is the above issue resolved in ECC or still persists in ECC 6.0 too???
Has anybody encountered the above issue??Please share experiences.

I am curious as to if you got this resolved. When we upgraded, I was hoping that we would finally get to use distribute by value between SRM and SAP without it converting over to percentages. I have worked with OSS and the discussion forum to come up with a resolution but no luck yet.

Cost distribution in Extended classic scenario

Hi All,
We are in SRM 4.0 using extended classic scenario.
When we create a purchase order with cost distribution, it gets copied to backend system. But the partial invoice field in backend PO is always having the value "Distribution in sequence".
In configuration for account assignment category, it has been defaulted to "Distribute proportionately".
When we checked with SAP they told that for SRM POs it will always be distribute in sequence. It has to be distributed while posting MIRO. This value is hardcoded in SRM PO transfer program. It is very strange and moreover this is a essential functionality which needs to be in SRM.
Any one using extended classic scenario, could you please tell me how you are handling multiple account assignments?
Please help me.
Thanks,
Arun

Friends,
If you are using cost distributions in extended classic scenario, then could you please check and let me know the value that you are getting in the "Partial Invoice" field in Account assignment tab of backend PO.
Please help.
Thanks,
Arun

Travel Cost Distribution

We are having two company codes here, 1000 and 2000. Employees belong
to either of them. If an employee belongs to company code 1000, and he
makes allocation of his cost 100% to a cost centre that belongs to
company code 2000, we are having no problem in posting of expenses.
This we are handling by maintaining the cost centre belonging to 2000,
in the Infotype 17 of that employee.
However with the same employee belonging to comapny code 1000, if he
does cost allocation 50% to his master cost centre which belongs to
company code 1000 and 50% to a cost centre that belongs to company code
2000, we are facing error in posting.
Is this possible in Travel Management or it
is to be handled in FI module manually . If possible in Travel
Management, please help on achieving this

Hi Friends and Guru's,
I have a smilar issue related to travel management assignment of travel cost to different cost centre and different company code more details as below:
We have two company codes 1000 on one COA1 (Chart of Account) and Controlling area COA1 and another company code is on different COA2(Chart of Account) and Controlling Area COA2 and all employees are created in Company code 1000 and we do not have any employees created in Company Code 2000. Issue is business wants to allocate some travel done on 2000 should go to company code 2000, I have tried to change option in Infotype0017 and tried to play around Infotype 0027 subtype 02 cost distribution option no luck for sucess.
I would like to know your expert advice that do i need to create all employees in Company code 2000 and do i need to re-config Travel management along with GL mapping to 2000 or any substitute way to resolve this issue.
Your inputs much appriciated.

Diff in IT 0027 and IT 1018 ie.. Cost Distribution

Hello Experts,
My Earlier thread is not found.... so opening another thread........ ( My Question was about -> What is the diff between IT 1018 and IT 0027? If anyone could explain with an example would be great)....
Correct me if i am wrong, from the earlier replies i got an impression of..... we use IT 1018 if we want to distribute costs at the level of position or org unit...... and IT 0027 if we want to distribute by employee.....
I saw for the IT 0027 subtypes like Wage/Salary, Travel Expenses, Planned Cost Distribution, Planned Effort etc.,.
Can anyone explain me with an example in what scenarios will we be using each of thse subtypes.....
Also, what would be the functionality if IT 1018 and IT 0027 in case of concurrent employement???
All inputs are appreciated......
Thanks,
Janga K.

Cost distribution on infotype 15

We have our cost distribution assigned to our positions; we do not use IT0027. In some cases, we want certain types of payments to be posted to a specific cost center and fund. We enter these payments on IT0015. When I try to use the maintain cost assignment on the infotype, I get the following message:
"Account assgn Functional Area is active in HR on 09/06/2009 and must therefore contain a value"
The functional area is also set up on the cost distribution at the position level. What are we missing that is preventing us from using this functionality on IT0015?
Thanks in advance for the guidance!!

Thanks.
The functional areas are defined using transaction PO13, infotype 1018, field FKBER.
I removed the cost distribution on the position and left only the account assignment, IT1008, on the position. I tried entering the cost distribution on IT0015 with and without an IT0027, and I receive the same error message as before.

Cost distribution within the group companies

Hi Experts ,
Need your thoughts on what would be the best approach for the scenario explained below :
We have a parent company and three other companies within the group. In total 4 company codes. There are some expenses which are booked under parent company and should be later (at month end ) to be distributed at fixed % to the other 3 companies within the group as during the time of entry it is not feasible to separate the transaction at co code level or is time consuming activity. In what way we can distribute such cost and ensure it reflects in FI reporting also so that P&L shows correct distributed values. Also there are some assets which are commonly shared by all the assets so the depreciation also needs to be shared with the companies in the group. ECC 6.0 being implemented . I tried using distribution but is not giving desired result.
Thanks
Sunil

Hi Sunil Mane,
What cost objects distribution between different company codes?
T-CODE:OKKP Have you selected cross-company-code cost accounting? I think this is a preconditon of cost distribution between different company codes.

Check the cost distribution concurrent request's output. It will tell you the reason. It might be an auto-accounting issue too. Post the error code here.

Hours not populated in the Table C1 (Cost Distribution) in Time Evaluation

Hi All,
I am entering Time info along with the Reciever Cost Center, Internal Order and other info in the CATS Time sheet and transferring the saved details to HR Time Mgmt & CO. Later when I run Time Evaluation (PT60 using schema TM00) for the person his Cost Distribution info is getting populated in the Table C1.
Then when I go to the Time Evaluation Results Table (B2 Cluster) thru transaction PT66 and want to check the details for the employee under C1. I see all the Reciever Cost Center, Internal Order info. I double click on the TReciver Cost Center to see how many hours getting charged to it, it shows 0.000
even thogh I had entered 4.00 hours against the Reciever Cost center in CATS.
Can someone direct me in a step by step way as to how to overcome this anamoly.
Your suggestions are highly welcome.
Regards,
Aslam

Hi,
I hope you are using transaction CATA to transfer to HR and Controlling.
When you transfer entries from CATS to HR to which Infotype the hours get transfered?
Could you clarify me on this?
