Set Clearing Account to Cost Center or Cost of Sales

Dear Expert:
I have issues for two different spareparts material number (e.g. material number "A" & "B") that posted to Interim GL Account "C" which clear to two different receiver:
a) Clear to Cost Centre
b) Clear to Profit Segmet/material Number
E.g.
1. Material number "A" - when there is stock access from the cycle count, the amount will be posted to Interim GL "C". Once this GL 'C" is cleared the amount will be posted to one Cost Centre "D".
2. Material Number "B" - when there is stock access from the cycle count, the amount will be posted to Interim GL "C". Once this Interim GL "C" is cleared the amount will be posted to material "B" under profit segment and appear in the Profitability Analysis Report.
Appreciate your advice how to check the setting why these 2 materials ("A" & "B") go to different clearing receiver.
Thanks
Zahari

Receiver type depends on purpose of the object, for eg, you have an internal order to capture some costs, which you want to anlayse at cost center level upon order closing, then you would settle to cost center. similarly you have maintanance order which you can settle to GL code if you dont have intention to capilise the costs (fixed asset).

Period accounting vs Cost of Sales accounting

Hello all,
Could someone explain to me the difference between Period accounting and Cost of Sales accounting? Where is period accounting configured in ECC 6.0?
I am trying configure PCA. The client wants the Profit centers to be setup product-wise. They have 3 products: a) a handheld GPS device, b) the accessories for the GPS device, c) and the subscription. I have setup 3 profit centers according to the 3 products.
Does either cost of sales accounting or period accounting come into the picture in my scenario? What I mean is, do either of the two methods have to be configured? And if so, why?
I have read in some places ("Configuring FICO" by Hurst & Nowak) that preparing PCA to accept actual postings can be very simple or complex. On the simple side, all that is required is to activate the fiscal year control parameters, create the proper document types, and define the necessary number ranges. For more complex solutions, additional account assignment may be maintained, and internal goods movement can be defined.
My client is just looking for a plain vanilla implementation of PCA at this time. Does that affect whether we use period or COS accounting?
Thanks in advance! Points available.

Period Accounting
In period accounting, the performance of a particular business unit (profit center) - that is, its revenues, changes in inventory and capitalized services - is set off against the total costs of the period. This occurs at the G/L account level and adheres to the formal structure of Financial Accounting. This gives you a uniform structure of report data and lets you reconcile the data of cost and financial accounting on the basis of cost elements.
Hope this helps.

Cost Center in populating in GR/IR Clearing Account at MIRO Posting

Hi,
I am working in 4.7 EE version. We created one Service Order(purchase order) and gave account assignment as Cost Center and Business area. Then we created service entry sheet wrt to service order and accepted the service enry sheet. System automatically created MIGO document in back end. At the time of posting Invoice Verification wrt service entryshee/service order (purchaseorder), system is populating cost center in GR/IR clearing account.
Give me some idea how the cost center is populating in Balance Sheet GL A/c (GR/IR Clearing A/c).

Cost center assignment of GRIR clearing account

Hello Expert,
There is a purchase order assigned to an asset. the cost center K8071 is maintained in the asset. Later, the cost center is changed to K8410. Normally this cost center will always be determined from the asset. But in goods receipt (MIGO) and invoice verification (MIRO) , the wrong cost center K8071 is derived for GRIR clearing account. Can i get any help from you how to solve this issue? Thanks a lot!
Best Regards,
Ou Qin

Hello,
the cost center is really assigned to GRIR clearing item. It is standard system design. if checking GRIR line item, the cost center is filled for invoice verification of asset PO. Seems the function of derivation exists bug. Can any one know how to fix such error before? Thanks!

Where to assign GL Account to cost center?

Hello Friends,
Actually in MIGO T.C , I am issuing the material against the cost center.Now in MIGO T.C , in Account Assignment tab i give the cost center and other requied data and save.And in display mode when i check that document than by default system takes the GL Account.Now my question is where we assign the G/L Account to cost center?In FS00 T.C i checked in Edit cost element for that account, there in Default account assignment , no cost center is maintained.So from where system is picking this G/L Account?
Thanks and Regards,
Jitendra Dilip Chauhan

Hi Jitendra,
This setting is made in OBYC. This actually MM & FI integration.
You check this in OBYC.
1.First check your valuation class in material master.
2.Then goto OBYC.
3. Double click on GBB transaction key
4.This will pop up chart of account.Maintain chart of account & enter.
5.Here you will see that GL account for combination of Genral modification VBR & Valuation class.
VBR: for internal goods issues (for example, for cost center)
That means whenever you do Goods issue of material for cost center which having same valuation class,this GL account will be automatically assigned.
Hope this clear you.
Regards,
Raja.

Control G/L account and Cost Center for movement type 251

Dear Friends,
I would like to use mov. type 251 for GI for sale and like to control over G/L account and Cost center.
The G/L account is by default from the valuation class of the the material and if the user will enter wrong G/L
we had done the customising in OMJJ movement type 251 - Account grouping - Unchecked the check box of column
"Check account assignment" - Impact is " the system always uses the G/L accounts or account assignments determined automatically"
I also made default cost center for G/L account and plant wise through OKB9.
Now I would like to suppress/dispaly the G/L account and cost center - for same I had done Setting in Entry control menu of OMJJ for 251 of field Account control - Value - "-" field is suppressed. But it is not working.
Please advise to solve this situation.
Thanks & Regards
Rajan

Dear Rajan
Yes, I have checked in MB1A earlier. We have separate node for Field seletion layout for Enjoy transaction MIGO for mvt type in which the G/L account (KONTO) an Cost center (KOSTL) have only optional or required entry selection.

GL account and cost center field appearing for Goods issue movt type 201

Hi SAP Gurus
We are trying to post goods issue in ecc6 . The problem is that the GL Account and cost center fields are available fields .The cost center field is logical but why the GL account field is avaiable .
How we can grey out the same field as it is going to be picked up from the valuation class setting in GBB - VBR ? Any ideas
Regards
Hitesh

Hi Ravi
You think that its ok we have to input the cost center .
But if you allow the users to input the GL then you are overriding the whole purpose of defining the valuation class and offsetting entries ? What is your opinion ?When you input the material in the goods issue screen the offsetting entry needs to be picked from the GBB -VBR .Although even if you do not enter the GL the system posts the Godds issue document .But from the control perspective this needs to be suppressed .
What do you think ?
I have also posted the same in Logistics forum .
Once again many thanks for your help .In case you find some solution this would be of great help

Freight Costing - Problem of G/L account with Cost Center

Dear Gurus,
In VI02, I have the following u201CAccount Assignmentu201D message of error:
u201CG/L account 60900000 cannot be used (please correct)u201D
u201CComparison of the field selection strings from the G/L account 60900000 and the account assignment category K reveals that there is an incompatible combination of field selections for the field selection group 'Earmarked Funds'.u201D
Questions:
Bearing in mind that I am in the Shipment Cost cockpit, I need to mention that the system directly allocated me the following Account Assignment Category: u201CKu201D for u201CCost Centeru201D.
1- I could there either way create another Account Assignment Category for Shipping instead of Cost Center
2- The system tells me about an incompatible combination of field selection, how can I change that field selection to make it compatible? There are so many possibilities that I get bogged down in choosing the right combination.
I have been to OME9 and OB14 to try to maintain fields, however those fields have different values or names.
My aim here is to coordinate a G/L account group with a Cost Center for Freight Costing
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Chris

Dear Zafar,
If you desire you maintain two different cost centers for the two company and you need to have both of them posted on the same G/L account and Cost element, I would advice you to:
- create a Z table where by controlling area you define where the specific cost center need to get posted
- include this validation check in the exit for validation for controlling
- include this validation check in the exit for validation for finance
- include this validation check also in the sales order user exit
Standard SAP seems do not have direct link between cost centers & cost elements. For this reason ideal solution is to generate a table where you may define you needed structure.
E.g.: some ideas on the table you may create
Controlling area
Cost element from
Cost element to
Cost center from
Cost center to
I hope this suggestion may answer to your need.

G/L Accounts and cost center

i would like to find the list of valid G/l Accounts and cost center for a input company code. Is there any good tables for getting this information. ?

I don't think there is such a thing. If a GL is valid for a company code and a cost center is valid for the corresponding controlling area, then the transaction should post. A relationship between controlling area and company code is in table A059 (Controlling Area/Company Code). This table is empty in our system, so I don't think that checks will be made.

You can find the all related IDOC fields in the SDATA field of EDID4 table
Yhis is a 1000 CHAR field which stores all the Segments data by concatenating into a string
have to search for the required field by looking into the related segment..
