Prompt for cost center when posting depreciation

Hi all,
Do you know where can i enable 'Depreciation posting with cost center'? Now each time it ask for cost center.
Thanks.

A cost center must be defined in order to post depreciation because it is posting to an expense account. In the SAP standard setup, expense accounts must have a cost center assignment, revenue accounts must have a profit center assignment, and balance sheet accounts must have company code assignment, respectively. To my knowledge, it would take a great deal of FI configuration change to make the deprecation expense accounts not require a cost center (and probably unadvisable).
Thanks,

Modifying the cost center when posting an MM invoice

Hi All,
my client wants to change the Cost Center assignment field when posting an invoice coming from MM process (PR>PO>SES). I'm now using transaction MIRO to make some test and I see the field is 'not modifiable'. I tried to see if i could sort it out from trx.OME9 but i am not really sure how and if i am in the right way. Somebody can please give any clear advices for this requirment? Thanks so much in advance,
regards
Livio

HI,
Just to make sure that there is no confusion here, the changeable indicators DO work if you have a valuated receipt, you CAN change the assignment, but the postings have already been made and will not be affected by the change (it will simply affect further receipts after the change) and so Shoaib is right in some respects because it is not changing the posting, but the fields can be changed to affect future receipts, even after a valuated GR. (I have done this many times).
But I think that the problem with this query is the fact that it is a service PO with the item category D. There is additional validation involved due to the complex data of a service PO.
So I would suggest that you try to change it in the service entry sheet or PO (you may have to reverse the SES first.

KO88 - Error when settling for Cost Center AND Auc for the same Internal Or

Hi Experts,
We need to configure Investment Internal Orders that could settle to both Cost Center and Auc, but each assignments with different Source Cost Elements
We did the following:
1. Created Auc Class
2. Created Investment Profile "IMOBIL" and assigned to Auc Class, flagging Auc
3. Created Allocation Structure "CV" with two assignments:
01, Source = Cost elements 7000000000 to 7999999999, receiver AUC "by cost element"
02 Source = Cost elements 4000000000 to 4999999999, receiver CTR "by cost element"
4. Created Model Order, filling the Investment Profile IMOBIL created in step 2.
5 Created Settlement Profile ZCV0001, assigning Allocation Strucutre CV, allowing CTR and AUC for receivers, default receiver is "FXA", doc type "AA".
6 Created ORder Type CV01, assigning Settlement Profile ZCV0001.
When I post only for Asset Expenses (Source Cost element 7, Assigment 01), the settlement through KO88 correctly settles to AUC, and also creates the settlement rule for cost center (i'm using the strategy to create from Responsible Cost Center).
But when I post for Asset Expenses (cost elements 7, receiver AUC) AND General Expenses (Source Cost element 4, receiver CTR), KO88 generates an error KD506, saying that for Assigment 02 - AUC I didnt define a settlement cost element.
1. Assignment 02 is not AUC, is CTR;
2. I flagged "by cost element", so I don't need a settlement cost element. And also, I was able to post to AUC when the source posting was only for cost element 7.
Did you face any problem like this?
I cannot find out what is the missing configuration, or if it is a program error...
Kind Regards
Mayumi Blak

Hi Ajay
I already created Source Structure and assigned to my Setllement profile (so I assigned Allocation Structure AND Source Structure).
I don't understand when you say that I need to assign the Source Sutrcture in each rule....because the Source structure is in the Settlement Parameters valid for both rules...
When I post to Asset Expenses only for the internal Order, the 2 rules (CTR and AUC) are created when I run KO88 (but only AUC rule is settled). This is OK.
The problem is when I post for both General Expenses AND Asset Expenses, the system is not recognizing that I have 2 source structures, neither is findind that for CTR AND AUC the Settlement cost elements are the original cost elements.
I'm thinking about changing message KD506 to warning, do you know if this can help?
Kind Regards

Report Writer Missing Data for Cost Center+Investment Internal Order

Hi Gurus,
I have met a problem on Report writer. T-code KSBB -> Report for Cost Center Group by Cost Elements in diff months.
The report can be drilled down to call KSB1 to give line items on the cost element by cost center/group.
The problem is the drill-down report missed the line items for investment orders. ( Compared with manually use KSB1)
The overhead internal order line items are fine.
For example, document 001-Apr:
Dr. Cost Element 1009                 $900 -- BA 90 Cost Center 90000 Investment order 9001
     Cr. Other cost elements.                  $900
Document 002-Apr
Dr. Cost Element 1009                 $800 -- BA90 Cost Center 90000 Overhead order 7001
     Cr. Other cost elements                      $800
In KSBB report, the cost center group for 90000 in cost element 1009 in Apr only has $800.
And the drilled down report which called KSB1 has the line item for docuemnt 002.
However, when I run KSB1 directly, the total amount for cost element 1009 in cost center 90000 is $1700.
Here is what I checked:
1. I have my ABAPer checked the KSBB program and KSB1 program to debug them in DEV ( DEV and PRD has the same problem). The different to get the data is that in KSB1, it has selected a value type 11 ( Googled: field name is WRTTP, Down payments as expenses. In program: WRTTP means Statistically Actual ) and 04 ( Googled: Actual True Posting. In program: 04 in WRTTP means Actual posting).
But in KSBB, it only select 04 when I clicked the drill down report to call KSB1.
2. I am thinking that the cause was on different types of internal order:
Overhead internal orders are statistical orders. Investment orders are actual orders.
Could you help to throw some light on the problem?
Thank you very much.
Emma

Hi,

Why we assign cost center while posting to any G/L

Hi All,
I need one clarification.
Why we assign cost center while posting to any G/L, even though we have been assign cost center to the cost element it will post the co entry through cost element.
Please any one make me understand the internal logic and process of how cost element and cost center works.
Thanks
Nandha
help.sap.com

Find below your clarification for the points
Why we assign cost center while posting to any G/L, even though we have been assign cost center to the cost element it will post the co entry through cost element.: Once you have assigned cost center to cost element in T.code OKB9 or KA01, no need of manually entering the cost center for the respecting primary cost GL while passing enteris.
Please any one make me understand the internal logic and process of how cost element and cost center works.: Whenever you post a cost to primary cost element , you require an object in Controlling , such as cost center to identify the costs. This primary costs are only created when the respective GL exist in the operational chart. Cost center is the location where cost incurs. Thus when you assign the cost to cost center , the cost will be booked against that particular location .

Search Help for Cost center

Hi All,
I have 2 questions
1) we dont have any default cost center maintained any where in the org-structure (PPOMA_BBP), howeverwhenever I go for shopping I can see a cost center along with GL account, ( I know GL acct is coming from "determine GL account for prod-cat" settings in IMG), but what about cost center where is it coming from ??
2) second, when we do search help for cost center's in shopping application, we are able to see all cost centers from the back end which I guess is good, but we can see even those cost centers which are blocked!!!, why is this happening ??,
Thanks.

Hello,
For First::
In general the CO Area (here: cost center) is derived from R/3 Backend Enterprise
Structure and should be re-determined if another acc. objects is
entered that belongs to a different CO Area. Please also check the
settings in R/3 Backend IMG, path:
->Enterprise Structure ->Assignment ->Controlling
->Assign company code to controlling area
The company code is assigned to the CO Area through the following
assignment:
->Materials Management
->Assign purchasing organization to company code
The CO Area is in general the organizational object in
highest (CO) level. Assignments to other MM/CO objects are located
in lower Enterprise hierarchy level. Hence, the CO Area does not
change if a different CO object of a lower level (here: cost center)
is assigned to a SRM document.
For Second::
The only possibility I see is to set the message to error message in
the customizing in the backend. The message number is KI 170. When you
look at the long text of this message in transaction SE91 in the
backend, you will find the description where to look in the customizing.
When you have set this message to ERROR, then no purchase order will be
created in the backend. Instead the shopping basket gets the status
'ERROR' and the administrator will recieve a work item in his inbox.
Then he can check the backend and either post the purchase orders again
after solving the problem, or he can delete the shopping baskets.
Please check the note for more infos or the documentation.
Setting the message KI 170 to error message will solve your problem.
See note 333136. I would think that if you create
a PO directly in the backend if you do not have the message configured
as and error you will be able to create the PO.
I hope this information helps.
Kind regards,
Gaurav

Only one internal order allowed for Cost center/GL combination -validation

Dear Friends,
We are using internal orders for controlling department wise budgets.
my client wants that he be able to post only through one GL account to one internal order
that is for Marketing dept,(departments are created as cost centers)
Canteen exp              internal order 1000
Entertainment exp     internal order 1001
Gift exp                     Internal order 1002
that is when GL account canteen exp is used (for cost center 1000 (marketing)) then internal order 1000 can be used but if entertainment exp is to be booked internal order 1000 cannot be used. in this case only internal order 1001 should be allowed
We are using real internal order (settlement will happen at end of month)
Can you let me know if this is possible in standard SAP or any workaround.
Regards,

Hi Sangharsh,
If internal order must be filled in these GL then you can meet your requirement by creating the validation. To meet this requirement three steps are to be created in one validation. One step is created below to make you create two more steps by your self.
Create validation under Financial Accounting Line Item using transaction GGB0.
Step 1.
Prerequisites. (Go to settings>Expert mode and fill following)
BSEG-BUKRS = '1000' AND (here instead of 1000 you enter your company code)
BSEG-HKONT = '450000'      (here instead of 450000 you enter GL for canteen expense)
Check
BSEG-AUFNR = '1000'
Message
Click on pencil icon and create below message or the message you want.
Intenal Order 1000 is allowed for canteen expenses.
Assign this validation to your company code using transaction OB28 with call up point 2.
Similarly you can create two more steps. Thus your requirement can be met.

How to run GR55 reports in background for cost center hierarchies

1. I have been asked by our users to create batch jobs to run in the background for some GR55 reports, that can then be sent directly to cost center managers via email.
I have figured out the process to do this as long as the cost center manager only needs to see a single cost center at a time. However, if they are in charge of multiple cost centers, we also want to send them a summarized report using the hierarchy we have set up. I can't seem to make this work, as the job only seem to recognize the last cost center in the group and the report is for that cost center.
Example. cost centers 100, 200 and 300 belong to hierarchy abc. If I run the job just for cost center 100 it is fine. But if I have a variant to run hierarchy abc, or even if I use the range 100 to 300, all I get is a report for cost center 300.
We cannot use BW because we only have revenue in BW. I am being asked to make this work from standard R/3 within the GR55 realm of reporting.
2. In addition, the report selection criteria includes two separate plan/forecast versions. They need to update these each month prior to running the reports and sending them out. I looked at the variables associated with the versions and tried to set them up with default values that I hoped would update automatically so that they don't have to manually change 50 or so variants each month. But I don't see any dynamic variables that I can use to have the system make that change without going into each variant individually.
3. There is another piece to this equation as well. There is another report they want sent out in batch, but it is several pages wide in SAP and several pages long. So when you run it in batch and either spool it or get it sent as an email, it is very ugly in the formatting due to all the page splits horizontally and vertically. If anyone knows how to get the report to stay together like it would if you had excel integration turned on, it would be very helpful. I have tried running it with that integration turned on, but the jobs are set up with user batch_mgr and not my id, so it isn't working well. The batch_mgr id is just a system id, not a dialog id. We also don't want the jobs set up with a regular user id because if people leave, then the jobs all need to be changed.

Kim,
I may have options for issues 1 and 2. In case of 3, what I can tell you is I understand the concern, but this is what typically happens in some standard CO reports that are not ALV compatible, I don't think there is not much there to do unless you add some custom code for the output.
In regards to point 1, yes, I have noticed that this happens in some standard and custom reporting, not sure what is going on. I came up with a work around that made the trick for my client in a similar scenario; which is editing the cost center groups. For instance, instead of having the group set as a range from 100 to 300, the groups are have listed the cost centers, 100, 200 and 300. Obviously, the disadvantage of this option is that it would require a bit of more cost center group maintenance.
In regards to point 2, I understand from your note that your users already have set up selection variants for the report. One option for you is to get the help from a developer to create a custom period variable and tiny program that runs in batch every month that would update that variable accordingly. Once that's done, you may have to update at least once, the selection variant attributes to change the period to a selection variable, so everytime from that point of time forward that the variable gets updated, it will be ready with the right value for every selection variant that uses it.
Hope this helps.

Substitution not working for Cost Center

Hi All,
We are using OBBH to make a substitution for Foreign Exchange valuation to meet one of requirement as cost center at line item level to be blank, we have made cost center field blank in substitution.
When we run the foreign exchange valuation system is updating the cost center from the source line item to the difference account. It is not considering the substitution value which is blank in cost center.But we have added some other fields in substitution those are working fine other than the cost center.
Do I need to make any settings for this to take cost center as blank at line item level.
Regards,
Shilpa

Hi Shilpa,
the substitution may be used for filling the cost center when it is empty, but not for clearing it when it is filled, because the substitution isn't called when the cost center is already filled.
Please read OSS note 1296568.

G/L Account determination for cost center

Hi,
When we issue the material with movement type 201 or when we do 202, we enter the cost center in the MB1A, then ref. to this cost center how to determine which G/L account is updated, and if we want to know how much is total goods issue is done for a particular cost center which g/l account to be check.
regards,
zafar

system check the setting in Define Account Grouping for Movement Types
for movement type
201 what is account modifier its VBR
then it check material number and takes valuation class
then it goes to OBYC and check the gl account under GBB
and looks for Gl account for VBR and valuation clases
and pick up the Gl accoun
hope its clear now
and in case of PO
the logic for gl account determination for account assigned po is as below
for cost center u give K
for this K it goes in Maintain Account Assignment Categories and check what is Acct modification it is generally VBR
then it check if u have given material number and takes valuation class and if material ordered is with out material code then valuation class is blank
then it goes to OBYC and check the gl account under GBB
and looks for Gl account for VBR and valuation clases in case on manteria number
or VBr and Blank entry for valuation class
and pick up the Gl account
Hope now its clear
