Repost to different allocation cost element

Hi Guru,
Maintenance cost has been allocated to maintenance order using activity type MAINT1 ( allocation cost element MAINT1_ACT , category 43) , but business wanted to post to a different allocation cost element. So I created a new activity type MAINT3 with new allocation cost element MAINT3_ACT, and try to use KB65 to do reposting ( see below ), but this doesn't seem to have option of updating the receiving allocation cost element, the sending and receiving cost element still pointed to MAINT1_ACT. Idealy, it should empty out the postings on MAINT1_ACT and post to MAINT3_ACT.
I also try to create reposting cycle, but don't know how to add activity type and cost element field on the receiver side. Please help if you can, thanks!!

You need to cancel the operation which is confirmed to reverse the cost from cost element. change the activity type against the operation and again to operation confirmation.  tcode IW41 confirmation and tcode IW45 cancel confirmation.

    1. You can reduce the validity of the cost element via KA02 -> Edit -> Ananlysis period
    2. What do u mean by re-class.
    Activity type master data can be assigned only to a cost element category 43.

  • Activity Types and Allocation Cost Element

    Hi
    What are the impact of having same Allocation Cost Element for different Activity Types. Is there any where we use this condition. SAP allows to have same allocation Cost Elements to different Activity Types, but i did not understand where we can utilizes this feature.
    Thanks
    Sivaram

    Hi Sivaram,
    in WIP customizing OKG5 you can assign specific cost center/activitity type combinations to different line-IDs, even though the same cost element is used. By this you can e.g. differentiate the value flow of one cost element in 2: one for capitalization, the other for non-capitalization.
    Personally I would not recommend to use this and stick to the rule "one activity type - one cost element" - makes it easier for IT and controlling departments.

  • BEx:Hierarchies in DIM and FAC are different for Cost Element

    Hi Experts,
    Whenever we execute a report we are getting a warning message as "Hierarchies in DIM and FAC are different for Cost Element", but in report level we are not maintaining hierarchy properties for Cost Element.
    We have executed Master Data tests in RSRV also and still the problem.
    Is any other to do to get rid of this warning message?
    Thanks in Advance.

  • Change of Allocation Cost element in Activity type during Fiscal year

    Hi,
    An activity type was planned on a cost center in KP26 with a wrong cost element. Then actual activity allocations were posted with this acitivity type. Now I have reversed all actual allocations on this cost center with this activity type and keep trying to delete the plan line item in KP26 to be able to change the cost element.
    Unfortunatelly the deletion is not succesful. I get the Message no. K8098:
    "Costs already posted under cost element 12345. No deletion possible
    Procedure
    First reverse the posted record under cost element 12345."
    I have reversed the allocations. The Balance on the cost center is 0. However the reversal seems not to be sufficient.
    Do you have any idea what needs to be done to be able to delete the plan line item in KP26?
    With best regards,
    Robert

    Robert,
    Follow this note it may be helpful. I guess you need to delete the records from table before doing anything else.

  • In KP26 activity types allocation cost element displaying old cost element

    Hi,
    I changed cost element in activity types. But in KP26, activity types picking old cost element only.
    Ex: I changed 9430000002 for Labour activity with old one 9430000001 but in KP26, while planning for Labour activity it is picking 9430000001. so its becoming problem while running CK11N.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks
    Neeraja

    Dear Neeraja,
    While changing the secondary cost element for activity type, hop you got the following warning message.
    So you must check whether the existing data is there or not for that activity type.
    One more important thing.
    The cost element field is a time based filed.
    You can change this field for each fiscal year. For example, you can change the field content for a new fiscal year.

  • GL cost element differance

    Hi,
    In Our system , GL Raw mat Consumption ( Good s Issue) value is differs from Cost element (Raw Mat Consumption). Pls advice why this differance and how to get solve this.
    Thanx in advance

    Hi
    It need not be the same in both sides.  If certain costs are posted in controlling area (cross-company code, functional area, business area, etc.) the same need not get updated in FI side until the time reconciliation is done.

  • Cost center & cost element

    Hi Experts,
    Can anybody please tell me,
    What is difference between cost center and cost element.
    what is exact role of both.

    Hi,
    Cost Center
    Definition
    External object (object type K) from Controlling which represents a clear origin of costs.
    If you implement the Controlling component, you can find more information in SAP Library under Cost Center (Financials u2192 Controlling u2192 Cost Center Accounting u2192 Master Data in Cost Center Accounting (CO-OM-CCA) u2192 Cost Center)
    and
    Cost Center Accounting (Financials u2192 Controlling u2192 Cost Element Accounting).
    Use
    By assigning cost centers to organizational objects, you determine where costs incurred by the object are to be charged. The inheritance principle applies: If an organizational object is not assigned a cost center, the cost center assigned to the superior object applies.
    An organizational object may also be assigned more than one cost center. For more information, see Cost Distribution (infotype 1018).
    Integration
    A cost center can be related to the following organizational objects:
    ·        an organizational unit via relationship A 011 (Cost center assignment)
    ·        a position via relationship A 011 (Cost center assignment)
    ·        a work center via relationship A 011 (Cost center assignment)
    Cost Elements
    Definition
    Cost elements classify an organizationu2019s valuated consumption of production factors within a controlling area. A cost element corresponds to a cost-relevant item in the chart of accounts.
    Structure
    We distinguish between primary cost and revenue elements and secondary cost elements.
    Primary Cost/Revenue Elements
    A primary cost or revenue element is a cost or revenue-relevant item in the chart of accounts, for which a corresponding general ledger (G/L) account exists in Financial Accounting (FI). You can only create the cost or revenue element if you have first defined it as a G/L account in the chart of accounts and created it as an account in Financial Accounting. The SAP System checks whether a corresponding account exists in Financial Accounting.
    Examples of primary cost elements include:
    · Material costs
    · Personnel costs
    · Energy costs
    Secondary Cost Elements
    Secondary cost elements can only be created and administrated in cost accounting (CO). They portray internal value flows, such as those found in internal activity allocation, overhead calculations and settlement transactions.
    When you create a secondary cost element, the SAP System checks whether a corresponding account already exists in Financial Accounting. If one exists, you can not create the secondary cost element in cost accounting.
    Examples of secondary cost elements include:
    · Assessment cost elements
    · Cost elements for Internal Activity Allocation
    · Cost elements for Order Settlement
    Integration
    Cost elements in Controlling (CO) are closely related to the general ledger accounts used in Financial Accounting (FI). This is because the SAP System is structured as an Integrated Accounting System:
    Cost elements document which costs (differentiated by category) are incurred within a settlement period, and in which amount. They provide information concerning the value flow and the value consumption within the organization. Cost Element Accounting and Cost Center Accounting/Internal Orders are closely linked in the SAP System. Each posting to an account that is also a cost element, is assigned either to a cost center or order. This ensures that at period-end the data is subdivided by cost elements and cost centers/internal orders for analysis purposes. The following section describes how you can subdivide and characterize cost elements in the SAP System.
    Cost element characteristics depend on the controlling area and the allocation methods used in your organization.
    Hope this helps clarifying your doubt about cost center & cost element.

  • Want to change the cost element for a activity type (KP26)

    Hi,
    I want to change the Allocation cost element for an activity type in KP26. I have already changed the cost element in the activity master data in KL02. Now i want to change it in KP26. I am trying to delete the existing line item in KP26  to create the new line item with the new cost element, but system not allowing to delete the existing one. It throws the error message ""Allocations with XXXXXXX/XXXX (Cost center/Activity type)  exist ; deletion not possible". Can someone please help me to change the cost element?
    Regards
    Dev

    Hi Rao and Lalit,
    Thanx for you people for helping me. i havin gone doubt here. If i am deleting the existing line in KP26 and create new line with appropriage cost element will it be cause the existing datas? I don't want to go for another activity type, because our process is a complex process exist all over the world in more than 300 company codes. So i want to use the existing activity type but want to change the allocation cost element alone. Is there any possibility to change the cost element alone?

  • Cost element and Line item reports show different actual costs

    Hi PS experts,
    My client has an issue pertaining to actual cost reports. The cost element report shows actual costs $42,000 for one WBS and when I double click to see details the value it shows is $2100. Even when I checked line item report for this WBS the value is $2100. What could be the reason for getting different values? If some one throw some light on this it would be great helpful to me
    Regards,
    Laxminarsimha

    Laxminarsimha
    The values in CJI3 should be correct and will include all postings (e.g. Settlement values) and possibly Actual Revenues unless a filter is in place - so take this as being your correct figure to start with.
    Your drilldown will show the same value as CJI3 because it is CJI3
    Any cost element report you are using is probably correct for what you are asking - is this a Standard Cost Element Report you are using or is it bespoke
    One thing to be careful of when you drilldown on Cost Element Reports is that you do not always get the a make up of the value you have drilled down
    e.g.
    Cost Element Report was run for Period 1 to 6 2008 and shows £100.00
    You drilldown and sometimes the drilldown automatically shows ALL line items e.g £500.00 (not just the values for periods 1 to 6 of 2008 which you may expect £100.00)
    In the past I've removed the drilldown capability from bespoke cost element reports to prevent drilldown to the line item report (which is CJI3) because of this problem.
    Usually where values for a a number of periods only (not total costs) was required
    Other factors to consider
    Revenues/Settlements may be excluded from Cost Element Report but will not be excluded from CJI3 unless you specifically restrict
    You need to identify which types are postings are missing from the Cost Element Report (what is common...cost element, dr/cr indicator, business transaction)
    I've also hit the mistake in the past where I've asked for periods 1 2007 to period 3 2008 and instead of giving me just over a years worth of actual it gave me actuals for periods 1 to 3 for 2007 and 1 to 3 for 2008.
    Hope this helps

  • COPA cost base same cond. map to NET Sales different cost elements problem

    Hi Guru,
    I have the following issue:
    I mapped ONE billing condition type assigned to ONE value field.  ZPCD is assigned to value field VV110 (net sales)
    That one condition type can post to 2 different cost element based on the account assignment group of the item
    One cost element is set up and revenue type 11 and the value is posted to COPA value field NET SALES
    The other cost element is set up as cost type 1 and the posting to COPA is blank i.e. no posting to value field NET SALES
    In both cases a COPA document is created i.e. total 2 COPA documents one for each posting.
    What is the problem??
    Thanks
    Linda

    For the purchased products, you may perhaps use the condition type VPRS to bring in the  material price from the material master.

  • Cost center and cost element in different collumns

    Dear all,
    I developed a report painter where the lead collumn has cost element and cost center. When I run the report it shows at the same collumn the cost centers and in a different line the cost element totalizing the amount of each cost center. So the report shows for each cost element the cost centers posted with this cost element. The report show like below:
    |-------
    Cost center A    | 100
    Coste center B  | 200
    |-------
    Cost element xxx - 300
    The problem is: How can I make the Cost element in a separate column ? Ex:
    Cost element xxx  |  Cost center A  | 100
    Cost element xxx  |  Cost center B  | 200
    Cost element xxx - 300 (In fact I don''t need the total)
    I need cost element and cost centers in different collumns to allow export it for other application..
    Regards

    Hi
    In report painter report we have only one lead column so we cannot have cost centers and cost elements in two different columns.Instead we can use the functionality of variation.Give the cost center in general data selection screen and select the variation functionality.So that cost centers are displayed on the left side of the report as hirearchy and only cost elements are only displayed in lead column.
    Thanks

  • Define Cost Elements Range for Internal Activity Allocation

    Dear All,
    I have the following scenario, for SAP standard they have defined the Secondary Cost Elemenets 641000 - 641999 as the Internal Activity Allocation.  I would like to ask where in SPRO configuration can I change this range with my own custom Secondary Cost Elements 400000 - 499999.
    Thanks

    I have not come across any SAP standard number range. They are client specific.
    Also your question regarding number range for Secondary cost elements is not clear. For creation of same you dont require any number range I suppose.
    Number range in SPRO can be maintained in KANK
