RKP2 and RKP3 - Planning activities by cost center

Hi people,
I'm having a problem with planning in activity-based costing. I planned an activity in a cost center, executed transaction KP26 and then the transaction CP06. The plan is executed, but when i see Line items, for CO plan documents, i see that system created two documents, one with the object RKP3, which debit the activity and credit the cost center. This is what is supposed, but when i checked the cost center, the value was again debited, which used object RKP2, with just one debit in the cost center.
My question is: why system restore the value that i wanted to distribute from the cost center to activity, first correctly in RKP3 and then (not supposed..), in RKP2.
Thanks for the help.

Cost Centres are for planning costs.
Revenue is planned on a Profitability Segment, Sales order which has been enabled for costing, or WBS or Internal order which has been enabled to receive revenue.
BTW, Profit centres are not CO objects, which is why you need one of the above. Alternatively you can create your Revenue accounts as GL accounts only, then you don't need the cost objects.

Locking Plan indicator in Cost Center

CO Experts,
I checked the Lock indicator in KS02 for the following
Plan Primary Costs
Plan Secondary Costs
System not allowing KP06 , but still allows me to do Activity Planning ( KP26). Why?
Thanks
psconsultant

Hi,
u201CLock Indicator for Plan Secondary Costsu201D and Lock Indicator for Plan Primary Costsu201D
If you select this indicator in Cost Center Master data, you cannot plan any secondary/primary costs on the affected cost center from this time.
The indicator normally locks the cost center only against debits with secondary costs in the plan. However, you can still credit the cost center in the plan.
In T-code-KP06-Cost Center Activity Input planning, we are debiting the cost center .
Through T-code-KP26- Cost Center/Activity Output Planning, we are CREDITING the cost center. So this indicators will not affect the planning function of T-code-KP26.

Where to find debit entry for planned activities through cost centre?

hello experts,
our client would like to know the impact of planned activities cost debit entry. the scenario is as follows.
1. at the year begining we are planning activity hrs against any cost centre.
2. respective activity hours are being confirmed through PP/PM orders.
this time orders are being credited and cost centres are being debited for the activty prices.
Now the question is tracability of credit entry wrt corresponding entry debit entry in the cost centre.
Can anyone help me out?
Regards,
Varsha.

Hi,
Let break this issue.
1. If you maintain KP06, with reference to CE / CC / Activity, you get debit entries for the relevant cost centers
2. If you maintain KP26 Planned Activities and Planned Rates, you get credit to the relevant cost centers
So in the S_ALR_87013611 report referred to above, you would get both debit and credit to the cost centers in Plan Costs column + you can check the plan activities in the below section.
As against this actuals:
1. When you post your expenses to the cost centers / carry out assessment or distribution cycles for production cost centers (linked to the activity types), you ge the actual debits.
2. When you confirm the operations of the production orders, you get the credit to the cost centers.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.
Cheers!!

Cost center plan values and Profit center plan values are not matching

Hi,
When user drill down the costcenter plan costs by partner in production system getting difference between P center values for a perticular functional area.
But this number should match with Cost center and P center functional are values but there under functional are showing lower amunts.
Pls let me know where exactly i have to check because i am fresher for controlling.
Please help me out.

Hi Anil,
If I understand your requirement then you want to plan both in USD and INR at the same time.
Say you maintain rate as 1 USD = 50 INR
Do you want to plan for 100 USD and 480 INR against one combination (Cost Center / Cost Element) and 100 USD and 520 INR against another combination of Cost Center / Cost Element?
SAP allows you to plan for a Cost Center / Cost Element combination only once. And that you can plan in any currency. Either in CO Area Currency or Object Currency (in this example Cost Center Currency) or in Transaction Currency (any other currency that you may choose). And the other currencies gets derived from the Exchange Rate maintained in the system using OB08 tcode. The exchange rate will be derived using the Planning Version "Exchange Rate Type" and "Value Date" (See Fiscal Year settings for Planning Version).
So, if you plan in INR it gets translated to USD and vice versa. For planning in different currencies (only one is allowed) you need to change the planning layout to include the Amount Currency field.
So for a single version say V1 you can plan in INR which gets translated to USD using OB08 exchange tare. Again you can plan in version V2 in USD which will get translated in INR using the same OB08 settings but you need to use a different Exchange Rate Type for V1 & V2.
I am not sure what the business requirements are. If the requirements are only to display different currencies in a report then that can be achieved by creating a Report Painter report.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Cost Center and Profit Center Planning

Hi,
I have one Co issue. Pls Suggest me the wiseful solution.
Cost Center and Profit Center Planning.
For F-2008 Planning data they have updated in the month of Aug, 07 for Profit and Loss Items and they have revised the plan data of some cost elements in the month of oct, 2007 (say 5% Increas). when comparing the cost center report to profit center report, both are not matching. the reason when i see and reconcile the document nos and values in between cost center and profit center reports i found out that there are some documents are missing in the profit center report.
wherever plan data had revised e.g for cost element Salaries they have updated 100000 Planning cost in the month of Aug, 07. In the month of Oct, 07 increased 5% i.e.5000. In cost center line items details i found 2 documents for Rs.100000/- and Rs.5000/- But in Profit Center Line Items i am getting only Rs.5000/- Value Document.
Note. As and when KP06 Plan data has been updated Profit Center line items are generating. It is not necessary to run any programme inorder to transfer Plan Data from cost center to profit center.
Observations From My Side:-
I tried to run the transaction code 1ke0. i have selected the cost object is Cost Center, version and had given Cost Center Parameter in development and quality clients and executed the same.By this time already existing data either deleting/ riversing and creating new documents fully except manually changed data in profit center through 7ke1.
My Question is
1.Upto what extent it will work.
2.will it be possible to transfer data from cost center to profit center only missing documents which are available in cost center, without disturbing of existing data in profit center.
3.suppose if i done this activity, there are some data which was already transferred from other cost objects like internatl orders & wbs elements to Profit Center. will the data get disturbed (deleted/riversed).
Pls suggest me the wiseful way to solve the

Cost center planning for overhead calculation

Gurus,
I have a doubt regarding the cost center planning for overhead calculation.
My scenario is:
There is a service cost center from which a certain percentage I want to allocate to the products as overhead. Now while doing so I have created a cost center and a cost element of type 43 (internal activity allocation). This cost element is the base for overhead calculation. Also I have created one cost element of type 41 (overhead rates). I have defined the credit (of cost sheet) with the cost element of type 41 and the cost center as mentioned.
Now I am facing a problem while planning the cost center with cost element type 43 through KP06.The system is throwing the error message: 'Cost element xxxx can only be used for activity input'. My understanding is we must carry out the planning for the cost center to allocate a certain percentage to the product cost estimate. If I am not allowed to use the cost element of type 43 to plan, what should I use for the planning?
Request your suggestion.
Thanks in advance!
Snigdho.

Hi
Since you mentioned catg 43 cost element, I thought you are using Activuty Type
To apply overhead on the product during CK11N, you need not plan any value on the cost center... The values planned in the cost center can not be used as a BASE in your costing sheet....
It goes like this
1. Your cost estimate has BOM + Routing
2. So, the cost elements that you would see during CK11N, can be broadly classified into 3 types
a. Primary cost ele - Material Consumption accounts for BOM components
b. Secondary cost ele (Catg 43) - If you use any actvity type in the routing
c. Secondary cost ele (Catg 41) - These cost elements are parasites... They need some basis to calculate the overhead value... That basis can be either the (a) or (b) above.....
I think, what you are planning to do is Plan Primary cost ele in a cost center and trying to use the same as the Basis.. That wont work!
What you need to do is
a. PLan the values in the cost center, say, 100,000 USD
b. Absorb it on the basis of 2.a or 2.b
If 2.b is not applicable in your case, since you are not using activity types, then 2.a is the Only option left for you
Hope it is clear....

KSUB - Cost Center Plan Assessment

Hi All,
I am doing a Plan Assessment for Cost Center in Trans KSUB and i need a Sender & Receiver Line items by Plant... I tried to use Filter but Plant is not present.
I will be glad if anyone can help me out..
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
You can use only CO entities as senders/receivers, e.g. cost centres, internal orders, WBS, etc.
Plant is not a CO entity and therefore cannot be used as an object in assessment cycle.

Cost center planning by functional area

hi gurus,
The client needs to do manual planning in CO (KP06) by cost center/cost element/fund/functional area. This data is later gets rolled up in FM to formulate the budget data. The client wants to enter all the account assignment manually except for functional area. They want that system automatically derive the functional area based on the cost center (one to one relationship). I tried the CO substitution but this functionality is only for actual data and not plan data. Any suggestion how I can derive the functional area in CO planning based on cost center?

Hi,
Functional area is required for cost of sales accounting in Finance. It has got nothing to do with Cost Center planning. Functional area shall not be visible in controlling. Pl update this constraint to the client and go ahead with Cost center/cost element planning with necessary one to one relationship with Fund center, etc.
Trust this helps much!
Cheers!

Copy from planning to Budget in Cost Center Accounting (Controlling)

Hi to All,
Currently we are using the SAP 4.6C Version.
Is there anyway to copy the planned version into Cost Center Budget when using the TCODE:KPZ2 (Cost Center Budget).
SAP has provided the same option when dealing with Internal Orders. We can copy the Planned Version by Edit->Copy View and in Setting->Planned Total Version we can set the version what we want.
Is there any way to perform the above funtionality under Cost Center Accounting.
Thanking you all in advance.

PO reporting that can capture PO number, PO value and cost center

Dear SAP expert and gurus,
Would like to seek for your professional advise and consult on which report in MM that can capture the PO number, PO value and cost center.
Kindly advise.
Thank you
Regards
Leonard Tan

ME80FN is a good report that captured the PO number and amount. However, the cost center is not being captured here. is there any suggestion?
ME2K is not an ideal report to user cause, user requires the data to be shown in one line instead of 2 to 3 line.
Is there any report like ME80FN can be captured PO number, PO value and Cost Center.
Thank you

Report Painter Request - Cost Center and WBS Element

Hi Everyone,
Currently, my company settles all project related expenses through to a cost center by way of an internal settlement cost element (category 21). The issue with this is that when the expense gets to the cost center, they lose all visability as to where the expense originated, such as salaries or travel expense (category 1 cost elements). We can't switch the settlements to the originating cost element from wbs to cost center just because of the additional data/volume that will cause. My thought was to create a report painter that can run by cost center but also show the wbs's that settle to that cost center and group the expenses by primary cost element (cat 1). I'm assuming that there is a way to marry a cost center and wbs element by way of the wbs settlement rule but how would that be done for reporting purposes? I've seen it done before by way of a nightly job that created sets based on the combination of cost center and wbs but I'm not sure how that was done. Any advise and examples?
Example:
Cost Center: IT
WBS: A.0017.01.01 (settles to cost center IT)
Postings made:
1. CC IT and CE 552000 "salaries"..............................$20,000
2. WBS A.0017.01.01 and CE 552000 "salaries"........... $5,000
3. Settlement of WBS to CC (expenses flow through to CC IT by way of CE 985000)
I want to run CC IT and see that the account 552000 really shows $25,000 and can be broken down by cost object (CC and WBS by the amounts above)
Thanks,
Pete

Hi Peter,
I had a similar requirement and used report painter report group 1SHK-002 (in library 1VK).
I took a copy of the standard and ameneded it slightly, I switched the explode so it occured on the cost center not cost element.
The report runs so that direct costs on the cost center are shown at primary cost level. And values settled to the cost center are shown on the partner object. In your case i guess WBS Elements (Partner ObjType WBS).
Now in my case I didnt need cost element breakdown on partner level, just on cost center so effectively I have(sorry for text alignment but I hope you get the idea):
GL1   ............. 100
GL2   ............. 250
+ Cost center1 total ....350
GL3 .............   50
GL4 ............. 100
+ Cost center2 total.... 150
Primary Cost Total ..... 500
X-YZ-1.200 .............   50
X-YZ-1.400 ............. 100
+ WBS total ............. 150
IO 1............. 100
IO 2 ............. 100
+IO total ............. 200
Partner Total............. 350
Overall total ............. 850.
Its not exactly like your requirement but it might be a good report for you to work with to get what you need.

Comparing Cost Center in ME23N and Goods Receipt document

Hi,
I do not have much functional knowledge in MM and I want to clarify following queries.
I have to build a report that displays the Purchase order value and goods receipt value by cost center ( in the same output screen).
In tcode ME23N of ECC, for any Purchase order item , we can display cost center in Account Assignment tab.( Same appears in table EKKN.)
Also, in the purchase order History tab of ME23N, we can check GR ( Goods redeipt ) and IR ( invoice receipt )documents. ( This GR and IR information is stored in table EKBE.)
My first query is :
if a PO item has cost center 'C1' associated with this ( in account assignment tab of ME23N), can it be possible that goods receipt document for that PO item has different cost center than C1.
i.e. is it mandatory that goods receipt ( GR ) document has the same cost center as that of corresponding purchase order item ?
While posting the goods receipt, is it possible to edit the cost center in GR document so that after posting GR, PO item shows cost center C1 but GR document shows cost center C2 for that PO item.
My second query is :
If above scenario is possible, then there must be a table that holds the cost center infomation for a GR document. I would appreciate if anyone can share the table name.
( like we have EKKN for storing cost center of Purchase order item ).
Thanks,
Tarun Brijwani.

Dear Tarun,
Below is the answer to your query:-
My first query is :
if a PO item has cost center 'C1' associated with this ( in account assignment tab of ME23N), can it be possible that goods receipt document for that PO item has different cost center than C1.
Not Possible
i.e. is it mandatory that goods receipt ( GR ) document has the same cost center as that of corresponding purchase order item ?
Yes
While posting the goods receipt, is it possible to edit the cost center in GR document so that after posting GR, PO item shows cost center C1 but GR document shows cost center C2 for that PO item.
No
My second query is :
If above scenario is possible, then there must be a table that holds the cost center infomation for a GR document. I would appreciate if anyone can share the table name.
( like we have EKKN for storing cost center of Purchase order item ).
Not possible to have 2 cost center per line item and the cost center per lin item must be same with the cost center when you do MIGO. As a result of that, there is no table where it can store 2 cost center for each line item. Unless you are creating a service PO line item where it required sharing of cost center for the particular services or even asset.
Thank you
Regards
Leonard Tan
