Role of cost center, profit center, G/L & internal order in pro. costing...

Hi all,
What is the role of cost center, profit center, G/L accounts & internal order (if any) in product costing? If not in product costing then in controlling?
How the cost centers & g/l accounts are updated while overhead calculation, variance calculation & settlement of an order?
I had gone through the SAP library & relevant threads on SDN but still not so clear about the functionality.
Please explain me in details from a scratch .
Also is it necessary to have a thorough knowledge of FI to study product cost planning?
Waiting for your valuable reply.

Hi,
No it is not possible to transfer to GL Account from Cost Center. Assessment functionality is with in CO Module. In Internal Orders it is settlement and in Settlement Profile we can have GL Account as a receiver.
I am wondering what is the Business requirement for assessing it to GL Account?
Thanks
Murali.

  • How to restrict the users specific cost center/profit center in FBCJ transaction.

    Hello Guru's
    We have created multiple profit centers across india. So I would like to restrict area wise profit center to use the users.
    ex ; I have created for MUMBAI M001 to M009 range and for Hyderbad I have created H001 to H009.

    Kindly provide your valuable solutions’.

  • Assign manual cost and profit center for 3rd party purchase order

    When we have a 3rd party purchase order we need to assign OUR cost and profit center to that document.  Here is the scenario:
    We buy a product from a vendor for $10 and then re-sell the product to a customer for $100.  Instead of posting this information to either cost or profit center of the vendor and customer, we need to assign the $10 to our company cost center and the $90 to our company's profit center.  We are basically acting as a middle man for selling a product.
    I am fairly a newbie, so please provide detailed answers if possible.  We create the sales order in VA01 and create the purchase order in ME22N.

    HI Kapil,
    For any accounting entry you need to define a General Ledger Account where the details (Amount) of the transaction will be stored.
    Just by maintaining cost centre will not help in completing any transaction involving accounts. So you need to  maintain G/L account in the controlling area of your company code.
    You can use T Code FS00 to create new G/L account in the chart of accounts.
    In the edit cost element Tab you can give the cost center that you want.
    I hope this helps.
    thanks

  • MDG-F 7.0 GL, cost center, profit center change history in ECC

    I am working in an MDG-F 7.0 workshop and am primarily working on cost center, profit center and GL account.
    I have come to realize that all field attribute changes made to cost center and profit center that are initiated from MDG-F won't be updated in ECC change history tables therefore i loose the ability to look up the change history in ECC but in MDG-F.
    However ECC history table is udpated for GL account attribute changes initated from MDG-F.
    Do everyone have the same understanding as I do? Please let me know if you see something else.
    Thanks,

  • Subsititute cost center, profit center, BA in maintenance order Addit.Tab

    Hello.
    I wonder if it's possible to substitute cost center, profit center, BA in maintenance order Addit.data Tab
    according to the WBS element
    I think, in maintenance order Addit data Tab (IW31),
    cost center and profit center is coming from work center.
    and business area is coming from equipment or functional location master which I input
    But the thing is WBS has that informaiotn(cost center, profit center, BA ) as well.
    and since we need to use the same information(cost center, profit center, BA )
    so Users need to change cost center, profit center, BA after checking WBS element information(CJ13)
    so, is there any way to substitute(or change) cost center, profit center, BA  automatically
    in maintenance order Addit.data TAB, when I input WBS element and press enter key?
    any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thank you for your reply
    Could you tell me more how to have a look at IWO10010 Maint. order
    (Cust. enhancement for determining WBS element)
    I'm kinda new in ABAP so please help me

  • Internal order posting vs cost center

    HI,
    I have a requirement like this; in our company we have allowed the posting to be made only through internal orders no
    direct cost center postings are allowed. Is there any report to carry out a comparison between internal order posting and cost center postings? I just want to check the transaction which directly posted to cost center instead of internal order.
    please help.
    thanks
    best regards
    gayani

    Hi,
    Do you want to trace postings which were done only on cost centres without I/O? You can go to KSB1 and select the line where Auxiliary account assignment is blank - this will mean that these lines were posted only to cost centre.
    Also, if your I/O are real one, you can select in KSB1 postigns with '4' value type, which will mean that the posting on cost centre is real and not statistical; therefore, no postings on I/O happened.
    Regards,
    Eli

  • Costs to be recorded to Internal Order instead of Cost Center

    Hi,
    My client has created a new Personnel Area and has started hiring people for it. They did not create a cost center for this. Meanwhile, if any costs are to be recorded for the employees in this Personnel Area, the client wants them record to an Internal Order (instead of Cost Center). Later, when they create a cost center, they may transfer the costs from Internal Order to the Cost Center.
    What needs to be done to satisfy this scenario.
    Best Regards,
    Veera

    hi
    create internal order through kO01, which is of type real order, and post all the expenses by keeping this internal order as cost object. later as you want to settle this internal order to cost centre, you should have settlement profile attached to the internal order to settle that. please update settlement profile while creating the internal order

  • Internal orders/networks and Cost center

    is it correct to say, all internal orders and process orders will roll into a cost center at the end.
    Sri

    Hello Ganga,
    You can settle the costs collected on an internal order to one cost center, one G/L account, or one business process using one settlement cost element.
    Hene, it is not necessary that all internal orders will roll in to a cost centre at the end.
