Sender Cost Element Group role in Assessment Cost Element Cycle

Hello,
We have an assessment cycle as below:-
Assessment Cost Element - 6000000
Sender Rule - Fixed Amount
Receiver Rule - Variable Portions
Sender Cost Center - 1000
Sender Cost Element Group - ABCD
Receiver Order Group - XYZS
Sender Values - 2,00,000 USD - Cost Center 1000
Cost Element Group in Receiver Tracing Factor tab - EFGH,
When I see the line item report of sender cost center 1000, I am able to see the total value as 2.00,000 USD credited, but I am not sure about the role of Sender cost element group ABCD in this situation.
Also what is the role of receiver cost element group EFGH?
Please advise.
Thanks
Tapan

Hi Tapan,
When you have selected in sender rule fixed amount then the system will transfer that amount to the receiver cost center specified irrespective of the total amount of cost element group existing in the sender cost center. There is no significance of cost element group mentioned in the sender rule then.
The role of the receiver cost element group in the tracing factor is used to apportion the amount of the sender according to the expenses existing on the orders in your case.

Display Cost Element Groups linked to a Cost Element.

Hi ABAP Gurus,
I am creating a program which displays a list of Cost Element Groups (maximum 10 levels) linked to a Cost Element(s) entered by the user at the selection screen.
What I did was selecting first at SETLEAF and then at SETNODE.
But when I was about to create the final internal table which will be used to display the data, I found out looping 10 times which is not good.
Can you suggest as to what needs to be done on this?
Thank you so much for your help.

Distribution of assessed costs/secundary cost elements

Hi All,
I am trying to figure out the assessment and dsitribution topic. Now I run into the fact that I am not able to distribute cost from an assessment secundary cost element. What I want to achieve is the following:
Using a G/L posting I posted 4000 euros on cost center HOUSING. Based on square meters I assessed those costs to 3 other cost centers, IT, SALES and PRODUCTION. This works fine.
After assessing I have 750 on cost center IT, coming from HOUSING. Now I want to distribute all IT costs to cost centers SALES and PRODUCTION. However, the distribution process does not distribute the 750 euros of 'assessed HOUSING' costs from the IT cost center. Other costs (coming from G/L) on the IT cost center ARE distributed. I have some warnings stating that secundary costs are not supported in primary cost distribution. Is there another way to distribute those secundary costs?
Thx, Paul

Hi,
Secondary cost elements postings,you can't allocate costs using distribution cycles.
you have to use assessments to allocate secondary costs element postings.
see below explainations.
Distribution
Distribution is an activity that you perform periodically, during the period-end closing in Overhead Cost Controlling (CO-OM), in which primary overhead costs are distributed from one or more sender objects to one or more receiver objects.
Many documents in Financial Accounting involve overhead costs. A clear allocation to one or more cost centers is not possible, or only with a major effort. You can use the allocation cost centers and internal orders as auxiliary constructs in such cases. During distribution, these costs are allocated (distributed) from their allocation cost centers to the actual receivers according to freely definable rules. The sender cost center is credited, and the receiving cost center charged, under the original cost element. In contrast to periodic reposting, however, the accounting information is lost in the process.
Assessment
Assessment is an activity that you perform periodically, during the period-end closing in Overhead Cost Controlling (CO-OM), in which primary and secondary overhead costs are assessed from one or more sender objects to one or more receiver objects.
Assessment means that the sending cost center is credited and the receiving cost center is charged under a freely definable secondary cost element. The original cost elements that were charged by the sender cost center are lost, and are converted to one or more assessment cost elements (secondary cost elements).
Assessment groups together the posted primary and secondary costs and allocates them to the receiving cost center(s) in an assessment cost element. The cost centers for assessment are the quality lab, IT, cafeteria, housekeeping and plant security.
For example, you could assess the cost from the Reception cost center to the other cost centers based on the headcount managed in those cost centers.
hope this helps you.
Thanks,
Rau

Delete Cost element group

Hi Gurus,
I would like delete a cost element group by KAH2. When I try to delete it, the program tells me that is being used in a report.
I use the feature "Extras -> Where-Used list for group" to find the report in which I am using the cost element group.
I go to modify the report painter by GRR2 to see in what line is using this cost element group, but I can`t find any line of the report, or in General options of this report, where is using this cost element group.
It seems that the report is not using this cost element group, however I can not erase, because it always brings me to this report.
Someone can help me?
Thank you very much.

Hi
You can remove the cost elements from Cost Element Group just select the cost element Group(Tcode:KAH2) then select the cost element that time the cost element becomes in red colour then right click on it & click on remove (F5).
Then you can reassign the cost element if required
Please check & confirm the same
Hope this will solve your problem

Planning at cost element group level

Is it possible to plan values at cost element group level instead of at cost element level in CCA?
Thanks

Hello,
Yes it is possible. In t-code-KP06 Cost Center/Activity Input planning, we can select input values in the combination of individual Cost Center-wise OR Cost Center Group-wise and individual Cost Element-wise OR Cost Element-wise. Here if you give Cost Element Group as your input value, you can plan cost for each Cost Element.

Cost center group report

Can I run cost center report referencing two cost center groups and two cost element groups. I know we can do multiple selection for cost centers and cost elements but that will not help my cause.
Lets say we have cost center groups A & B and cost element group 1& 2. We would like a report that shows us Sum of A1 + Sum of B2. This explains why we cant simply use multiple selction for cost center and cost element group. It will also give you an idea of what kind of output we are looking for.
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated and points duely assigned.
Nik

Hello nik,
what is the cost center hirearchy you are using. If you are using alternative hierarchy then you can do this by selecting higher level of the A&B.

Change in the cost center group

Hi,
Can we change the cost center from one cost center group to another group, when there are some postings in the cost center? If yes, how to go about it?
help me out

Yes you can!
If you are planning to change within the standard hierarchy, Goto OKEON, drag, drop and save.
Or you can go to KS02 for the cost center, in the basic data, you can give the new cost center group under the hierarchy area.
If it is just non hierarchy cost center group, then go to KSH2 enter the old group, select the cost center, delete save, then go to the new cost center group and include the cost center.
It does not matter whether it has been posted or not. It is just a grouping. But caution must be exercised. and there shall be a valid justification for doing so. Because the cost center may be used in various cycles. So better to check where and all the cost center is being used and then do the change.

Extract expense for a designated cost center group

Do you mean that you want to read the cost centre group hierarchy for a cost centre? So that instead of entering a cost centre group and reading down the hierarachy until you get to the cost centre codes at the bottom, you want to enter a cost centre and then read up the hierarchy until you get to the cost centre group at the top of the hierarchy. If so, I don't think there is a function module to do what you want. The cost centre group hierarchy data is held in table SETNOTE, so you could have a look at that.

Can 2 cost center group share same cost center?

Dear Experts,
Can 2 cost center group share the same cost center?
Basically I'm looking at MATRIX structure where one cost center, say an Equipment shared by 2 different cost center groups (say one in "Location-A" cost center group, and the other one is in "Process-A" cost center group). This is to enable the management to be able to see the costs incurred in either by "Location" cost center group or "Process" cost center group.
The "Location-A" cost center group may tied to Cost center 101, Cost Center 102 and Cost Center 103. The "Process-A" cost center group may only tied to Cost Center 101, and other cost center 201 (which is also tied to other "Location-B" cost center group).
Please advise.
regards,
Abraham

Hi Abraham,
its not possible to assign a cost center to several cost center groups in the standard hierarchy. Otherwise, the standard hierarchy would be inconsistent.
As stated in the online documentation under http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/EN/25/908fc66d8411d194f000a0c93031df/frameset.htm
'You can assign each cost center to only one group in the standard hierarchy, but to as many alternative groups as you require.!

Please advise how to reassign and what is the impact?
Please help

Hi,
Thank you for the prompt reply.
Would like to seek for your advise.
The cost center that we need to reassign to other cost center group will it carry the cost from the previous cost center group to a new cost center group?
Please advise.

Cost Center Assessment - cost element type 42

Hi dear All,
I got issues running KSU5 to allocate planned costs under cost element type 42. we were expecting that all planned costs (primary and secondary(cost element type 42)) could be allocated by credit cost center (actual). only primary costs are being allocated.
Scenario:
cost center planning (kp06) 1000 currencies in primary cost element in cost center A
running planning assessment - KSUB: cycle uses assessment cost element (type 42): sender cost center A, receiver cost center B (all planned values). assessment cyles posts 1000 currencies from CC A to cost center B
planning in cost center B (primary cost elements through kp06, 500 currencies) total planning 1000 from previous assessment with CE type 42, and 500 from cc planning in a primari CE.
by the period end closing, tcode KSU5 (allocation actual) is running. new cycle created, based on planned values (origini not actual, but planned amounts).
we were expecting to allocate 1500 currencies from cost center B to cost center C (using 100% and through assessment cost element)).
result: credit actual cost center B = 500 currencies debit actual cost center C = 500 currencies.
1000 currencies pending on cost center B (planned).
do you know why SAP is not allocating the 1000? even if those 1000 were planned in cost center B by assessement, a new allocation cycle should be able to post them or not?
thank you for your outcome.

Hi dear Ajay, thank you for your answer.
first, I understand the difference between KSUB and KSU5, in the defined scenario, we have both. planned values, become actual with the MEC activities. business definition.
regarding the cycle, I have setup assessment cost element so we can get all planned lines posted as 1.
On sender tab I have only the cost center. no cost element defined.
receiver its cost center.
furthermore, i've not setup allocation structure, so all cost elements should be allow, there is no restriction on this.
the only difference is: planned costs which their origin is already an assessment are not being assessed again.
I can show you the print screens with cycles setup if it helps
best regards
MF

ALE Distribute Financial Statement version /Cost Element group

Hi SAP guru,
Would any of you advise me of Standard SAP transaction to send Financial statement version or Cost Element Group via ALE(IDOC)?
I am aware of BD18 to send GL master data (program: RBDSEGLM) to send IDOC out of SAP but also looking for a similar function to send FSV or Cost element group
Kind regards
taro

Hi
Thanks for your note.
Please advise me on the financial statement version, as well.
The reason for investigating this is to find out standard way to distribute/extract FSV out of SAP for both nodes of FSV and assignment of the GL accounts to the nodes.
If you could give me some hint, i would be more grateful.
Kind regards
taro

How to find the origin costs(primary CE) for Assessment cost elements

Hi All,
How can we trace the Orgin costs(cost senders) for Assessment cost element.
I have to create Co report where user wants the Costs senders(primary cost elements) details for Assessment cost element.
Our cycles are defined as senders - cost center and receiver's are Internal orders.
so for assessement cost elements what are the primary cost senders.
Is it possible to trace the primary cost elements details for Assessment cost elements.
Regards,
Raj

Hi Chirstian,
Thanks for the information.
I have done the same as per your advise.
I am trying to pull all the primary cost elements which are posted with my sender cost center's.
All the cycles are defined as share in % = 100%.
But unfortunately all the debits are of primary cost elements is not equal to credit amount of my Assessment cost element.
The figures are very far and couldn't trace the difference amount. Is there any other report in SAP or how i can define in report painter to meet this requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
Raj.
