Project Systems: Profit and Cost Centres

Hi
When maintaining a WBS element through transaction CJ02 or CJ20N for example; it is poossible to link a profit centre, ressponsible cost centre and requesting cost centre to each WBS element.
My question is: When cost gets incurred against a WBS element the profit centre gets updated with the cost as well. However, the cost centres (responsible and requesting) do not get updated. Is there any automatic effect on these cost centres (such as is the case with profit centres)?
I know that the requesting cost centre will be the cost centre allocated to AUC's assigned (if applicable) and that to get cost onto the cost centre a settlement rule must be maintained. What therefore is the use of having responsible and requesting cost centres assigned to a WBS apart from this?

Hi
Cost center and WBS elements are both cost objects hence at a time real posting can happen to only one of them. Since WBS elements are getting debited , it will not simultaneously debit a cost center. However profit center it is not the case , hence the data flow to the profit center happens as an when a posting is done to WBS element and also when WBS is settled to cost center then also there will be a posting to profit center.

  • BI FI and Cost Centre Reconciliation

    Hi
    I have a requriement to create a GL reconciliation report between Finance and Cost centre data, i have a multi sitting over the relevant cubes and the data is coming through.
    The report is as follows
                     |_FI Total__|___Cost Centre Total__|__Difference_(should = 0)
    GL Account |                  |                                  |                   
    For the cost centre data the report should bring through the data where the cost element = GL account in the row,
    ie GL Account - 60000
    FI Total - GL Account - 60000
    CC Total - Cost Element - 60000
    Difference - FI - CC
    Any ideas on how i can do this or if this is possible?
    Thanks
    Josh

    Hi Harshal
    Yes i was able to create this report, i had to create an infoobject ZFI_GLCE with 0GL_ACCOUNT as a ref. characteristic.
    Then i created a cube and had transformation going from YCOOM_C02 (CO-OM: Costs and Allocations (Delta Extraction)) to the cube where i mapped the Cost Element to ZFI_GLCE and then also had another transformation from YFIGLO02 (General Ledger: Line Items) to the cube mapping the GL Account to ZFI_GLCE.
    Could you further explain the problem you are having with the GL Accounts?

    Hello,
    You can create a new work center by copying an existing work center. in the cr01 screen in the copy from column put the plant name and Ref. work center name and put enter. all the existing data will be copied to the newly created work center. no need to create new assignment to  Production Scheduller and Cost Center.
    Hope it helps.

  • Reporting commitments for IO and Cost Centre

    Hello Help!
    I need your expertise please ..
    When reporting on a cost centre's commitments in Y_DEV_17000159, the commitments posted to the internal order (which is also attached to the cost centre) does not appear in the report.
    However, when I do a report on the cost centre only, it shows commitments except the IO. And when I execute a report on the IO, it shows all IO commitments.
    Is there a way to report on both IO and cost centre commitments in the one report?
    P.S. the order does have Statistacal Postings enabled.
    Many thanks for you help on this!
    ? Vanessa ?

    Hi,
    When you post to Real internal Order, and Cost Center.
    The Internal Order will take precedence always.  Cost center posting will become statistical.
    To your question "whether IO and Cost Center co-exists in one transaction?"
    Yes, very much, many cases this happens normally for transactions related to marketting campaigns etc
    Hope this would clarify your question

  • Profit Centre and Cost centre not updated

    Hi,
    I have posted expenses through FB60 and assigned cost centre to the expenses account and not for vendor item. Entry passed was posted.
    But when i checked the document, i saw that the cost centre and profit centre is appearing in one line item (i.e. expense line item) only.
    Afterwards i made payment through F-53. In this entry also there was no cost centre and profit centre in vendor line item. But the same was appearing in "outgoing bank" line item

    Hello,
    If you are on classical GL, your vendor line items or customer line item will not be updated automatically.
    If you are on New GL functionality and document splitting, you will have profit center updated on customer and vendor line items.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • GL account and Cost Centre Info

    Hi All
    Where does the GL account / Chart of accounts / Cost centre information gets stored in SRM System?
    Are there any specific tables for this..
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi
    All the data that you mention is held in ERP. SRM uses RFC connections to validate if the data that a user enters is correct.
    The cost centres that a user can select can be maintained in the org structure or the search help functionality (that requires a dialog rfc connection) can be activated.
    The default GL account for a product category can be maintained within the SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Account Assignment -> Define G/L Account for Product Category and Account Assignment Category img activity.
    Hope this answers a couple of your queries.

  • Project System - Report Painter - Cost roll up issue

    Hi,
    We have an issue with the roll up of the costs in Report Painter report in Project Systems. The problem occurs only with those costs which have been settled to an internal order from a WBS element.
    We are using the same cost elements to settle to the Cost Center and Internal order and roll up of the costs work fine for those settled to cost center. But the roll up does not happen for the costs settled to an internal order. Would appreciate if someone can guide on how to fix this issue.

  • CProjects - Project Systems Linking and other features

    Dear All,
                  I need inputs on how to integrate cProjects with Project Systems. Also i need information on the what are all the information we can integrate between these two.
                  One more important thing is i am seeing the Services, Details Data and Controlling links in My cProjects system. Where as i found Account Assignment, Costing links in one screenshot of Documents. And both are for cProjects 4.0. Why this difference is showing up
                  And one generic question is, what is the requirement for these kind of scenarios. And pros and Cons of both the systems.
    regards,
    rajesh.
    Edited by: Guest on Feb 14, 2008 5:59 PM

    Hi Srini,
    Thanks very much for the links. However, I've already gone through the standard documentation in SAP and they are a bit too high level/vague for me. I have considerable experience in xRPM, cProjects Suite and have good grasp of project management concepts, tool and techniques. My knowledge of PS is somewhat limited though.
    What I am specifically looking for is what type integration options and scenarios are available. For example, cProjects can have phases and tasks defined. How would these integrate with for example WBS elements and networks in PS? What are the things you would do in cProjects and not PS and vice versa? Hope my question is clearer now.
    Appreciate any further information you may have on the above.
    Thanks,
    Lashan

  • Activity Types and Cost Centres

    Our PP is not yet live now.
    While going through the system settings, it is found that many activities (approx. 15 for indirect expenses also) are planned in the Production Cost Centres.
    However, these activities are not included in the master data of the Work Centre. Only one activity type is mentioned there for machining.
    Then, what is the purpose of other activity types planned if they are not mentioned in the Work Centre ?
    Is there any other way these activity costs will appear in the Cost report ?

    Hi,
    You are almost on the right line, activity quantities will be triggered in the  cost center report based on the routing master and through  the confirmation from the production orders.
    For the creation of the  work center - Activity Planning KP26 is required. Cost center/Activity
    where we can plan the activity quantities.
    Prior to that KP06 is required to plan the  primary cost combination of (Cost Element/Cost center/Activity Type) where we can plan the cost.
    Based on the above information we can calculate the plan price - KSPI
    Based on the confirmation from the production orders activity quantities will be updated in the center report. cost will be updated with actual postings in the cost center.
    So that you can calculate the actual activity price.
    Please look into the blog for better understanding:

  • Third party gratis order and cost centre allocation

    Hi all
    I have a problem with third party sales. When the sales order is gratis, the cost centre allocation is determined by our gratis order reason. This particular cost centre is locked for invoice receipt posting (as it is gratis), and so we cannot complete the 3rd party process.
    Is there any way around this - I can see in the IMG that you can create requirement classes for costing but I cannot see where you assign these requirements to items.
    Also, I am not sure about the implications of removing the lock on invoice receipt postings.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Jon
