Sale of Material - Assignment to Cost Object Error

Dear Forum,
The users while trying to do the PGI, encountered the error - "Account xxxxx requires an assigment to Cost Objet". However, when we check the Material Master, for doing the OKB9 maintenance, we get the message 'Costing View' not maintained for thie material. How could be the reason and how can we address this issue.
Another issue is that the posting is going to the wrong GL Account, which is mentioned in the aforesaid error message. How can we check the MM Account Determination to verify the correctness of the GL Account for posting of the Cost of Sales at the time of PGI.
Thanks for the help.
Regards

Hi,
Use transaction code: KA02: enter G/L account xxxxx(Cost element) and in default acct assinmt TAB,assign the Cost Center and save.
Now try ur transaction.
OR
Check the field status of the account in FS00. If this account requires CO object as mandatory then check whether a cost element is created or not , this error normally occurs when CO object is mandatory but relevant cost element is not created.
Example: CO object may be cost center, cost element, WBS element
OR
Use t.code OKB9 and assign G/L account to cost object with ur company code and save.

Mass Material Assignment to Cost Object Hierarchy

Hi,
I have to assign the materials to Cost Object Hierarchy. I know that it is done thorugh TC- KKPHIE.
But if I have to assign more than 1000 materials at a time , I cannot do that in mass.
I tried to do it thorugh LSMW. The system is not allowing it to create LSMW.
I am stuck. Please let me know is there any other method of material assignment in mass.
Or any other transaction code.
Hoping to hear

Hi Ravi,
I have tried using LSMW and BDC. Its not working.
Is there any other transcation of material Assignment to Cost Object Hierarchy.

MTO Sales order is NOT a COST OBJECT

Hi All,
I'm working on MTO process and i have some question.i would like to clarify MTO process.
If we are using Valuated MTO process and Sales order is NOT a COST OBJECT
1.Are we going to run material cost estimate for MTO materials?
2.How can i configure or make Sales order is NOT a Cost Object?
3.If Saleso order is not a cost object,how production order process will work from controlling point of you?are we going calculate WIP on production order and WIP is settled to sales order or FI/PCA?
4.Once production order is complete,Goods Receipt will post to Inventory or Sales order stock?
5.Once production order is complete,we are going to calculate variance on production orders?
Any help is appreciated...
Thanks,
Anusha

Hi,
When the MTO is created from sales end it will create the Planned order then it will convert to Production or Process order.
Once the production do GR or confirm Produced QTY the stock will go to Sales stock not to inventory stock.From there the sales can do PGI to customer.once PGI has done the account entry for the customer account will take place automatically.
Once the production completed the Production order need to calculate for the variance & the Settlement need to be done for the production order against the Material which you produced & sale to customer.The difference & variane amount will post to Price difference & moved to Product cost of the material automatically & COPA entry will be done automatically.
The MTO Material need to run for the Cost estimate also.
The WIP can be calculated & difference can be posted against the production order & the material which you produce.
The Process is same as the Make TO Stock scenario.Only the difference is the Production will get generate automatically when the MTO order get created & the stock will post to sales stock automatically.Rest the CO part is same as MTS scenario.

Check table with CSK*

Cost assignment-Multiple cost objects being selected by default from the EP

Hi,
I have created an expense report from the Portal and entered the cost object - a WBS element and saved the report. Now, when I check in table: PTRV_SCOS, it shows me the cost object assigned are - both - the WBS Element as well as the Cost center. This is incorrect as there should be only one cost object - either the cost center or the WBS element. However, when I book the expenses from the backend, it works fine. Only the WBS or cost center is displayed in the table mentioned above. Anyone has any idea as to why this is happening?
Many thanks in advance for your efforts.
Cheers guys.
Hope to hear from you soon

Hi All,
First of all, thanks for your responses..
Right, about the issue, what I explained here was that I am indeed assigning only one cost object: the WBS element. The issue was that even though I am assigning only the WBS element, it was also assigning the cost to the cost center by default. I did some R&D and found the solution to the issue (I was also asked to look for OSS notes but was not satisfied that this issue needs an OSS note to be applied so tried my solution). The issue was in table: T788M (allocate costs to variable account assignment). Here, I created an entry and called it USERGROUP_2 (just a random name) and assigned the variable cost objects (only the WBS and the Cost center) to be displayed. In the next step, I assigned this usergroup to the country in quesion feature (TRVCO). By doing this, I tell the system that only these cost objects are to be considered when an employee wants to assign the cost object. If the system sees that there is no value from the drop down to choose from, it picks up the default cost object (cost center). This was a simple issue that I had to rattle my brains on... but the solution I mention above worked like a hot knife going through butter...

Sales order line item as cost object

Hi all,
I am looking for a document on configuring sales order line item as a cost object.
Also by doing this, does this mean it is unnecessary to specify a cost center/profit center in the SO line item, since the costs/profits will be captured in the line item itself?
Any links would be helpful,
Thanks

Assignment of Cost object

Hi Gurus,
I am using one controlling area for 4 for a group of companies with 4 company codes. When i am assigning some co object to a particular GL account that is creating the problem for other company codes. For Example:
Controlling Area 1234.
Gl account : 9000 4444( expenses) for 4 company codes "same"
Already created 4 cost centres for each company code with the same number, only initial has changed. Like for company 1 it is 1000 1234, for 2nd company 2000 1234 so on.
Now when they are processing they are facing problem for a different company code.
Pls provide me the solution.
Satya.

Hi Satya
In the cost element master, you can specify only one cost center as both company codes are assigned to same controlling area.
In this case you need to specify default cost center using t code OKB9, wherein you will be able to specify default cost center per company code.
Award points, if useful.

Error in Distribution of Actual cost in Cost Object Hierarchy

Hi,
I am getting an error while doing the Distribution of Actual cost from Cost Object Node to the assigned Order.
Cost element/origin 630000 could not be distributed
Message no. KZ468
Diagnosis
The cost element/ origin 630000 could not be distributed because there are no target costs for this cost element/origin or for cost element group CO-PC-TOT.
Procedure
Check the calculated target costs and cost element group CO-PC-TOT assigned to the target cost version.
Procedure for System Administration
Proceed
Although the Cost element is Present in cost element group CO-PC-TOT.
One more information, the order that is assigned in Cost Object Hierarchy is of CO-Product orders.
I have searched in the forum but I havent got any solution.
Kindly help.
regards
Kami

Hi,
Concerning error message KZ 468, it has the following origin: In the customizing of the cost object category (transaction okz5), check if the 'single object selection' is set to 'Control through variance key'. If you consider the F1-Help for this option you will find the following explanation:
if the indicator Control through variance key is turned on, the production order, process order, or product cost collector can only be assigned to the cost object hierarchy if:
-> The material is assigned to the lowest node of the hierarchy
-> No variance key is specified in the order
The important point is, that orders that have a variance key are excluded from the cost distribution.
In transaction KKF8 you will find that all these orders do indeed have a variance key. Hence, all of these orders are included, there are no target costs from the orders and the costs cannot be distributed. Thus the error message kz 468.
Please consider that and check the customizing again.
Not having target costs in the distribution indicates either a wrong set up of the hierarchy or, more likely, no valid cost estimate for a certain material of a production order or product cost collector could be found.
Did you check whether for this cost element/origin target costs exist, and also for the cost element group? If not the message KZ468 is correct and probably the cost element group has to be maintained properly.
The distribution of actual costs calculates target costs on-the-fly and the variance calculation does not have to be carried out before. Quite the opposite than the variance calculation requires the distribution as a preceding step. Furthermore it is not sufficient that one cost element is in a cost element group but the interval where the cost element has been assigned to has to have some target costs. Otherwise this won't work and message KZ468 is issued.

Cost object for raw material consumption posting

the raw material cosumption posting is done in the background when the goods issue is done. so where do we assign cost object for the primary cost element of raw material consumption account. since we create primary cost element for raw material consumption account, it will expect us to give cost object, so where we assign cost object for the raw material consumption cost element

hi
since the raw material cost is relevent for cost accounting u need to maintain primary cost elment accounts.When ever u confirm goods, the rm issue will take place automatically and will be debited to either product cost collector or production order. so u need not to assign any cost object for these consumption accounts why bcoz issues will take palce aganist a production order or product cost collector which is a cost object .

Assign cost object by condition type for accounting

Hello All,
Our scenario is that we have a single billing line with a service order assigned as the cost object on the line item. This line has multiple condition types going to different GL accounts on the RV document.
Once the service order is on the billing line all of the RV document lines get the same service order for cost object assignment We want to assign different cost objects (service order, internal order) to the different lines on the RV document based on the GL account.
Example:
Billing document line 10
Material 123456
Service order 999999
Condition type           GL                      Desired Cost Object
ZZ01                      480000                  999999 - service order
ZZ03                      560000                  11111 - internal order
ZZ04                      470000                  999999 - service order
ZZ05                      440000                   22222 - internal order
We have the multiple GLs getting assigned, it is just the cost object on the RV document that is a problem. Is there a way to do this in config...or is a user exit the only option?
Thanks in advance!
Edited by: Allison Sains on Jan 20, 2012 7:01 PM

Thanks for the response. It looks like we're going to try and rework the account assignment so a user exit is not required (use OKB9 instead).

Hi
Your requirement class settings must have had sales order as a cost object
1. Go to sale order, procurement tab
2. Check whats the req type
3. Go to OVZH and check whats the req class assigned to this req type
4. Go to OVZG and check whats the acount assignment cateory in req class.. I think it is E
You should use a proper req class/type to avoid this error

Use of PS-Module: Cost object discussion

Hello,
i have a question regarding the use of PS-Module.
I would like to know if in your company you experienced any problem (in controlling or somewhere else) when posting to a variety of different cost objects. For example: wbs-element, sales order, internal order and network.
SAP is offering a lot of possibilities how to customize a system. That means i could run similar processes with different assignment to cost objects. I would like to know how you think about that topic and what experience you made.

Hi,
As you rightly said the SAP is providing different different cost objects to be posted.
based on the company requirement we have to choose the process.

Exchange Revaluation - Assigmnet to Cost Object

Hi,
We have defined the Account Determination for the exchange Gain Loss revaluation of open items at the month end. The GL Account defined in the Account Determination is carrying a Cost Element. When the users do the Exchange Gain Loss revaluation, the system gives an error message 'Advising that the Account requires assignment to Cost Object'.
Could any one advise as to how we can maintain the settings for automatic assignment of Cost Center to a GL Code used for Exchange Gain Loss revaluation.

Hi,
In OKB9 default account assignment screen you can assign common cost center code to that cost element permanently.
Try once, assign points if useful.
