Thx in advance.
Moderator: Please, use F1 functionality and search help.sap.com

Hi ,
I think your question is related to Cost Center Post Field and Responsible Cost Center in WBS Master Data ..
Responsible Cost Center is the cost center where the project activities are carried out .
As per SAP Terminology - Responsible Cost Center is " The key of the cost center of the WBS element where the activity is being carried out.
Cost Center Post is the field in Control Data in WBS Element where cost may be booked to cost center in addition to WBS Element . If WBS is real , statistical costs are booked into Cost Center post and vice versa .

Cost Center Error Message in Posting a Billing Document to Accounting

Hi Experts,
I am in process of testing my form enhancement for Billing Documents especially Debit Note and Credit Notes. However, when I post my Billing Documents in VF02, this status message appears:
"Field Cost Ctr is a required field for G/L account 2100 855020".
Now I already checked the configuration in FS00, VKOA and we want the cost center field filled-up in the process but automatically. Do I missed some of my configuration to maintain also the Cost Center? What transaction code should I check and maintain the Cost Center for this scenario.
Thanks a lot for your answers.

Here is the Entire Error Message:
Field Cost Ctr is a required field for G/L account 2100 855020
Message no. F5808
Diagnosis
The value for field "Cost Ctr" in the interface to Financial Accounting is an initial value but you are required to make an entry in the field selection for G/L account "855020" in company code "2100" linked to the field selection for posting key "50".
System Response
Error
Procedure
It might be an error in the configuration of the G/L account field selection. The initial application, used to call up the interface must otherwise define a value for field "Cost Ctr". If this is the case, contact the consultant responsible for the application used to call up the interface or get in contact with SAP directly.

Down payment functionality for PO with account assignment K Cost Center

QUESTION: Is there a way to turn-on down payment functionality for cost centers?
When a vendor down payment is posted via tcode F-47 against a PO line item with INTERNAL ORDER as the account assignment, SAP posted the following documents from the payment run (tcode F110):
1. Accounting Document
dr vendor / GL= downpymt clearing / internal order = IO1234 / cost center = CC5678
cr bank
2. Controlling Document
dr internal order IO1234
However, when a vendor down payment is posted against a PO line item with COST CENTER as the account assignment, SAP does not post any Controlling document, just the accounting document:
dr vendor / GL= downpymt clrg / cost center = CC5678
cr bank
From my research, it appears that the down payment functionality applies to internal orders and projects only. Then settlement is run to move the values from internal order to AUC assets and/or cost centers. Perhaps I'm missing a configuration step for the cost center piece?
Your prompt response will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

system wont generate any controlling document for noted items downpayment and normal payments.
Because all are balance sheet accounts. Controlling documents will generated for only P&L accounts.
Your analysis correct.

Profit Center deriviation from Cost Center

Hi all,
I have just configured CCA and PCA for one of our new company code.
I have created 3 cost centers like A, B, C and subsequently same have been created as profit centers too.
Maintained the profit center in the cost center master data.
No other derivation rules has been configured so far.
Now i am trying to do a expense posting with F-02, after entering cost center, system is updating profit center field with a dummy profit center only.
Even i f a changed the dummy to normal profit center, again system replacing the normal PC with dummy PC.
I want like...when i enter CC as A, then i need to derive PC also as A for the line item. ( For both expense items as well as revenue items).
Please suggest.
Regards,
Srinu

Hi Chintan,
Thanks for your quick response.
We have already implemented the said SAP note.
Let me explain my requirement again.
We have IOA, CCA, PCA active in our system.
For every expense or revenue line item Internal order is mandatory.
apart from we have 3 cost centers and 3 profit centers ( 1:1 )
in cost center master , profit center is assigned.
1) users are going to decide the cost center, while posting FI direct entries only. So while doing F-02, they will enter CC, and IO manually and at the same time PC should derive from cost center master data ( as it is 1:1 only).
2) as specified above, we have IOA, CCA, PCA active. In this case IO, CC, PC are to be set as mandatory fields for Field Status Groups G004 and G029?
Please advise...
Regards,
Srinu

Table for Cost Center Data

Hello Experts,
We are customizing a financial report and having a strange requirment, where we need to sum up the total value(Debit+credit) of a particular cost element from cost center report S_ALR_87013611.
For example, Cost element 600000 is having debit value 5000 and credit value 2000 in the report S_ALR_87013611, so we need to bring the value of 3000 (Sum of debit and credit value) in customize financial report for cost element 600000.
I have checked the table COSS with value type 4, but I am getting there 2000 debit and 2000 credit, 3000 debit is got missing.
Please can any one tell me which table should I check for getting the proper data?
Your early feedback will be highly appreciated.

Mohammed Kalim

Hi Ajay,
Thanks for your prompt response.
COSS and COSP are not serving my purpose.
COSSA & COSPA are the structure table.
I am not able to find cost center field in COEP table.
Hi Mahesh,
Thanks for your valuable inputs.New GL is not active in our client.
Hi Raman,
Thanks for showing interest in this issue. COBK is Document Header table.

Document change/display - Profit Center / Cost center name

Hi,
We have a requirement where client wants to display the profit center and cost center names (short or long) when displaying or changing a parked or a posted document. As we all know SAP shows only the profit center and cost center code and not the description during the document display. After all the deliberations, this seems to be an important piece of information while posting a parked document or even viewing it as a posted document.
What are our options?
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Subodh

Thanks for your response Tamim.
Profit center / cost center naming is following a different convention and we are in a roll out phase, therefore we can't think of first item.
About match code, the requirement is not so much during the posting but primarily while releasing the parked document or viewing the parked / posted document - they want to see the description along side profit / cost center.
I was looking for clues on any utilities / enhancements / BTE that I may use to bring extra fields during document display.

Subodh

ME21N: COST CENTER DETERMINATION BASED ON STORAGE LOCATION

Hi,
When creating a purchase order (ME21N) I need to determine the cost center based on storage location. How can I solve this problem?
If the solution goes through creating an USER EXIT, please, have in mind that my knowledge about ABAP is really poor.
Thanks in advance.
Luis Álvarez.

Hello Priyanka,
first of all, thanks for your quick response. By COA I suppose you mean Controlling Area.
Secondly, isn't possible to implement something like this for purchase orders?:

Cost Center, Work Center and Profit Center

Hi ALL,
Can any one please explain me the concept of Cost Center, Work Center and Profit Center.
And where and when do I assign the cost center???
Amit

Hi Check the following "
Cost centers represent areas of responsibility where costs are incurred or where responsibility for costs may be assigned. They represent the smallest unit of responsibility within the organizational structure of an enterprise.
A cost center can be pictured as a cost bucket such as a department, product line, production stage or geographical area.
An unlimited number of cost centers may be created.
All cost centers within on controlling area have to be assigned to a cost center hierarchy (standard hierarchy).
Costs originally posted to one cost center may be distributed and assessed to one or more other cost centers using allocations.
How are costs assigned/posted to a cost center?
External financial accounting documents created in FI, AM or MM that post to a G/L expense account can be configured to require a cost center assignment be entered at the time of transaction entry. The system automatically creates a parallel CO document that posts to the indicated cost center.
Cost elements master records can be configured to be posted to a certain cost center (automatic account assignment).
In addition, other non-financial activity (i.e., direct labor hours) may be posted directly to cost centers from within CO or via other modules such as PP or HR

Cost Center in MIRO and MIGO

Hi All,
1) A PO is created with one line item on cost center 10010.
2) Discount condition of 10% is used in CONDITIONS
3) On doing MIGO, material is charged on 10010 while discount line item is charged on 10020 as defined in OKB9
4) On doing MIRO, both material and discount line is charged on 10010
Is there's something missing in MIRO as discount line should be charged to 10020 rather on 10010?
Looking forward to resolve this issue.
Warm Regards,
Nayab

Hi Raghavendra,
Thanks for your response.
As per the configuration,
I have a PO of Single Item.
In Item Details I have used Cost Element 900102 & Cost Center 10020 in Account Assignment Tab and
Condition of 10% discount is used in Conditions Tab.
When I do MIGO, I get the following entries
Expense Account 900102 agains cost center 10020
Discount Account 900106 against cose center 10055
GR/IR Account 400203
Cost center 10055 is derived as cost element 900106 is assigned this cost center in KA03 as well as OKB9
When I do MIRO, following entries are the result
Vendor Account 55252
Gr/IR Account 400203
Discount Account 900106 against cost center 10020
This cost center should be same as in MIGO due to configuration in Master Data (Txn KS03)
or cost center in MIGO should be same as in MIRO (i.e. derived from the PO)
If I put no cost center in KS03 (master data) or OKB9 against 900106 cost element, it prompts to assign CO to this account while doing MIGO.
Looking foward for assistance in resolving this issue.
Warm Regards,
Nayab

Cost center determination in tax account

Dear Experts,
I am facing an issue when posting taxes.
I have the following need: when a sale is posted we have to calculate 1% tax. This tax is company’s responsibility; therefore I want to post a credit amount to a balance sheet account (with the value we owe to state) and a debit amount to a cost account.
In order to do this I configured a VAT tax code (there is no VAT in the company’s country) with keys ESA (-1%) and ESE (1%) and associated the balance sheet account to operation ESA and the cost account to operation ESE.
The issue is that, when posting cost account I am obliged to a cost center (and in fact I need it). I could define a standard cost center at OKB9, however, I need a cost center for each profit center responsible for the sale. If I configure OKB9 with profit center detail neither profit or cost centers are determined in the entry view, buy only in the General Ledger view (new GL is active and V_FAGL_SPLIT_FL2 configured with the flag “Assign to tax”).
Is there a way to use the new GL determination and document splitting in order to split the entry view and determine the correct profit and cost centers?
Is there any other way to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vojas ,
At times it becomes necessary to assign Cost Centers in Sales orders , especially when we intend to capture some expenses through Sales and Distribution and post them to a default Cost Center based on a Certain combination of Key Data structure elements.
This can be done thru transaction OVF3 - Assign Cost Centers.
This may be required in the following scenarios -
Free Deliveries
Returns
Deliveries of Adverstising materials etc.,
The Cost Centers can be assigned against a Combination of Sales Org + Distribution Channel + Division + Order reason.

Transfer price (Internal Reveue to be allocated to Production cost Center)

Hi Sap Gurus.
My cleint using tranfer price without activiation material Ledger. The internal revenue should not reflect in Fi. For that we have created ztable and we will be able to transfer the stock between profit center and we are getting internal reveue to the sending profit sender and expenses to the receiving profit center finaally balance become a zero,(we are maintaing same gl account while doing transfer price). Now expense in receving profit center should consider as part of produt costing. how to allocate this expense to the production cost center when there is no balance.
Example
SENDING PLANT 1 MATERIAL 123456 MM PRICE (10) TP 15
RECEIVNING Plant 2 Material 123456 MM PRICE (10) TP 15
While taking STO system is posting with material master price 10, but in the production if they are using that material system should take 5 also . 10 is the cost and 5 is overhead.
help me out?

These are some few things I found out. Below is the result of a test I carried out when I tried to create a Settlement Rule for a statistical order.
Statistical order may not contain a settlement rule
Message no. KO188
Diagnosis
Order 12770, for which you are trying to create a settlement rule, is statistical.
System Response
Statistical orders cannot have a settlement rule because they cannot be settled.
Procedure
You could possibly remove the statistics indicator from the order (only if nothing has been posted to it yet).
I may be wrong but I have determined that, for production orders, you will have to use Standard Production Order Type and not a statistical order. The object class has to be production as well.
You will only be able to create a settlement rule if it is not a statistical order with the assignment category as ORD. Also, in your order type: Internal Order - Production, under general parameters, you will have to assign settlement profile 30 which is production order.
You may have to define planning profiles for co production orders, costing variant, valuation types. Maintain order types using KOT2. Example:
Order Type: PP01 Standard Production Order
Order Category: 10 PP Production Order
Number Range Interval: 1000000000--19999999999
Settlement Profile: abc
CO Partner Update: Semi-Active
Check of Classification
Next Maintain Settlement Profile: ABC Standard Production Order
Check off "To be Settled in Full
Default Allocation Structure: E.G: EB
Indicators: check off: 100% Validation. % settlement, equivalent numbers
Valid Receivers: 1 for most
Document Type: OS Order Settlement
Create Allocation etc.
Hope this gives you some pointers as to how to proceed.
