Problem in direct costs distribution
Hello everyone,
We have 23 specific direct costs (LineItems), and we want that the whole cost of each one goes to a different parent activity. Once the parent has received the cost, we want to distribute it equally between all is children.
The problem is that when we are creating a resource driver, the resource driver split cannot see LineItem dimension, so we cannot find those costs.
We have thought three possible solutions:
a) Create 23 Cost Centers (one cost center for each LineItem). With this solution the resource driver split could distribute the cost of each LineItem into the corresponding activity.
b) Create 23 resource drivers, where each driver distributes only a LineItem into the activity.
c) Create 23 "dummy" activities, and make the reassigments.
We think option 1 is the most efficient. What do you think? Or does exist another solution for that problem?
Please see the attached document.
Thanks in advance
best regards
Sergi
You'd probably be better heading over to the iPhone developer forums.

Problems with cost distribution "by value"
Hi All,
We have the following problem in cost assignment in shopping cart: We can choose different cost distributions: 1. by percentage; 2. by quantity; 3. by value. When choosing 3 - "by value" and distributing values to different WBS-elements with budget check, system comes up with several error messages saying budget overspend, also we exactly fill in the open budget on theese WBS-elements. The main reason for this seam that our backend system R/3 4.70 just knows the two posibilities 1. - by percentage; 2. by quantity.
Do you guys know a possibility in customizing or elsewhere to deactivare the possibility 3 - by value, since I think back end can not work with this kind of distribution.
Best Regards ThomasHi
Do you want to remove the drop down by value in the shoping cart screen ?

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.
Regards,
KalyaniKalyani
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

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 thisHi 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.

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,
AslamHi,
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? -
Disabling the cost distribution button on the Process Purchase Order Screen
This is probably a simple question, but we have been unable to find the place to disable cost distribution on the SRM Process Purchase Order screen for limit orders ONLY. Basically, we just want this functionality to not be available to users. Can anyone direct us to the correct configuration for this? Or do we need to edit the BADI?
Thanks in Advance!Hello,
You can hide this field by creating a screen variant through SHD0 transaction. I have tested here and I
could hide it (GV_DIST_IND in Program SAPLBBP_PDH_ACC screen 1000).
In the screen variant you should mark the output of GV_DIST_IND field.
However, this option would hide this button for all documents.
Kind regards,

Hi
please, I have a problem with distribution of cost between cost centers. My situation is:
Phone call cost distribution at the end of month with KSV5.
Statistical key - with atribute "total values" - it changes every period (like phone calls minutes changes).
Vendors invoice posted on 101001 cost center (100 USD).
Cost distribution - sender: 101001 (100 USD)
Cost distribution - receivers: 101001 (10 USD), 101310 (50 USD), 101313 (20 USD), 101315 (10 USD), 101319 (10 USD).
Period April 2011
Distribution goes well.
Question is: when the sender CC is also a receiver CC, some amount (10 USD) of the cost stays on the CC 101001, but when I run the distribution for period May 2011 for 200 USD, will be the 10 USD (that is still on the 101001 from April) included into the distribution cycle? So distribution run will be with 210 USD??
Or in the distribution cycle only invoice (or invoices) posted into period of May will be included?
I´m in doubts with this. Don´t know if i should make a new CC that vendors invoices will be posted on and it will be only sender in the cycle that will have a zero balance after the cycle.
Please advise
Thank You.
Regards
LubosHi,
When you execute KSV5 cycle for May, you can give period 5 to 5 in the main screen
So, system considers only May balance for distribution, in your case it is 200 USD.

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 EfficientlyHi,

Problem with Direct printing of PDF with Barcodes in R12
Hi All,
We are facing a problem in direct printing in EBS R12 with xml pdf reports which contains some barcode fonts. We are using fonts from IDAutomation for barcodes. Printing from request output is working fine. But when it is printed directly everything get printed other than the barcodes. Did anybody face this problem before and fixed it?
Regards,
BennyBenny,
Output from XML Publisher comes out correctly. The barcodes are stripped off during pdftops conversion. Any idea?
How did you verify the above?
PASTA 3.0 Release Information (Doc ID 239196.1)
BIP PDF Output Does Not Print MICRD Barcode Font - View Output Ok (Doc ID 747195.1)

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 muchHi,
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.

Problems after transfering Cost centers with LSMW
Hi,
I have a problem after transfering Cost Centers with LSMW.
The first Batch input run created all cost centers in one CC Group erroneously - cause they should be placed in different CC groups.
I changed LSMW settings and made another batch input run - now the Cost centers were created in proper groups. I think that I deleted all CC's created in previous batch input run, but now I am not too sure, because there is a problem...
Cost centers exist both in their proper groups and in the one group mentioned by me before. So there is such situation that Cost center appears in Standar hierarchy twice at the same time.
When I delete cost centers - they are removed from their proper groups but the CC entry remains in that one group - all CC are there inactive.
How can I get rid of them. I tried deleting them - but it's impossible - the system doesn't see them.
When I run the batch input again - the same cost centers appear in proper groups and at the same time they become active in the one group. The standard hierarchy group is not UNIQE.
Please advice me how to delete these entries from standard hierachy.
Best wishes,
KarolHi,
Always recommended before loading into live system: upload in test system and check. check again just to make sure all is correct before real load.
In your case you probably would have been best to do a group change after incorrect upload.
Do Ambiguity check in stadnard hierarchy to explore all incorrect entries. Depending on your version yo ucan change in that function (ECC6) ore need to run a report. Before running the report check that CC master records have correct entry. The report is RKCORRH1
Again, try in QA first and run in Test Run
Good luck

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.
