Stand.hierarchy in cost centers

Hi
is it mandatory to create standard hierarchy for cost centers... what is the purpose of standard hierarchy.
thanks in adv

Hello Aparna,
A tree structure containing all the cost centers in a controlling area from the Controlling standpoint.
You assign a cost center to an end node of the standard hierarchy in the master data maintenance of the cost center, or in the enterprise organization. This ensures that the standard hierarchy contains all the cost centers in that controlling area.
When you define the controlling area, you specify the name of the top node of the standard hierarchy in that controlling area.
Hope this helps. please assign points.

What are the tables involved in hierarchy of cost centers?How to link them?

I want to generate the report for the GFIMs attached o the cost centers.
It should be similar to the transaction OKENN .
if a cost center is having an hiearchy , a cost group then will go on taking the parent node till the last node.
Which are the tables used in the transaction OKENN?
which are the tables which links the hierarchy of the cost centers.How is it linked.

It is a simple process to trace the transaction (ST05/SE30) and discover the information for yourself...

Alternative hierarchy for cost centers

Hi all,
Due to reporting needs I have to work on two cost centers hierarchy at the same time. So I decide to use the alternative hierarchy which is a copy of the standard one. I've seen on help.sap.com that it was possible to copy the standard hierarchy, and to modify this new alternative hierarchy.
My problem is that the system doesn't let me modify the alternative hierarchy, I can't delete, replace or add any cost center.
Thanks in advance for your return.
Pascal

Hi Mary,
thanks for this reply. I have already created the alternative hierarchy by KSH1, to replicate the standard hierarchy (let's call it CENTRAL), so my new hierarchy (let's call it ALTERNATIVE) is all the same in comparison to the previous one. After the copy the two contains the same cost centers groups, and inside the nodes the same cost centers. For the year 2008, I need to move cost centers in the ALTERNATIVE from one node to another one, so I could compare node by node the 2008-CO postings with 2007-CO postings.
The central point is that my cost centers perimeter is altered every year and I need to compare two cost centers hierarchies at the same time.
Hope this reply is more precise.
Regards Pascal

Standard hierarchy for cost centers, transactions okeon, okenn

Hello,
When I run transaction okenn (or okeon) I cannot see hierarchy for any cost center group. Exactly, option 'expand subtree' cannot be executed so I am not able to see all nodes of the specific cost center group. I can only see the name of the cost center group, or cost center itself, but not as expanded tree.
What could be the problem? Do I have to define something additionally?
Best regards,
Dragan

Hi,
I don't really trust SU53...it's unreliable as it only shows you the last authorization object checked. Please verify via an authorization trace in ST01. If the issue is indeed PLOG please check SAP notes 177844, 211991 & 175063.
Once you have gone through the notes please run the hierarchy master data comparison (OKEON-> Menu -> Extras).
The issue regarding PLOG and the standard hierarchy is well known in support, but I haven't seen it around in a while....
Regards
Karl

How to get Cost centers a below a cost center from hierarchy using ABAP

Hi !!
I am currently developing a user application wherin i need to give a dropdown help to the users for cost center field.
How ever I need to give him those cost centers in the help which are lower to the cost center to which he is assigned .
For example he is at department level which has cost center '90000' he should get the cost centers of the offices assigned to that department in the hierarchy .Also cost centers of various lower nodes which might have been assigned to these offices and so on so forth .
How can I get those cost centers which lie lower to a particular cost center in the hierarrchy using ABAP ..as I am in to BSP application and have access using ABAP.
thanks in advance

BSPIAN,
usually there will be a hierarchy table where the cost center hierarchy is stored. see if you can find that table.
To go about the same , activate the datasource for cost center hierarchy from business content
Execute the datasource in RSA3
do a background SQL trace and you will find the necessary table for the same.
Hope it helps..

OKEOK: in which table can I see a certain Group and its Cost Centers ?

Hi All,
with reference to the Standard Hierarchy for Cost Centers (OKEON) , could anyone tell me in which SAP table i can find the Cost Centers associated to a certain Group?
Thanks a lot for your help.
G.Rossi
Moderator: Please, search SDN; this question has been asked several times on the forum

Hi,
all CO groups are stored in tables SETHEADER, SETLEAF, SETNODE. The values assigned to groups are stored in SETLEAF, for cost centre groups: SetClass 0101, SetName: the name of your cost center group (no matter if its standard hierarchy or not).
Best reards, Christian

Problems after transfering Cost centers with LSMW

Hi,
I have a problem after transfering Cost Centers with LSMW.
The first Batch input run created all cost centers in one CC Group erroneously - cause they should be placed in different CC groups.
I changed LSMW settings and made another batch input run - now the Cost centers were created in proper groups. I think that I deleted all CC's created in previous batch input run, but now I am not too sure, because there is a problem...
Cost centers exist both in their proper groups and in the one group mentioned by me before. So there is such situation that Cost center appears in Standar hierarchy twice at the same time.
When I delete cost centers - they are removed from their proper groups but the CC entry remains in that one group - all CC are there inactive.
How can I get rid of them. I tried deleting them - but it's impossible - the system doesn't see them.
When I run the batch input again - the same cost centers appear in proper groups and at the same time they become active in the one group. The standard hierarchy group is not UNIQE.
Please advice me how to delete these entries from standard hierachy.
Best wishes,
Karol

Hi,
Always recommended before loading into live system: upload in test system and check. check again just to make sure all is correct before real load.
In your case you probably would have been best to do a group change after incorrect upload.
Do Ambiguity check in stadnard hierarchy to explore all incorrect entries. Depending on your version yo ucan change in that function (ECC6) ore need to run a report. Before running the report check that CC master records have correct entry. The report is RKCORRH1
Again, try in QA first and run in Test Run
Good luck

Hi,
This you can do it in two ways:
1. Make three header under top level....one Product A, 2nd Product B ( as Billing element) and third as Common expense ( only cost). Now 1st & 2 nd WBS, you have to have sales order linking with individual lint item, for third you will accumulate all the common expense till the period end then make a reposting of the same in desired proportion to both products WBS hierarchy
(This is if you want to have a track on the common expense as well.......like planning, budgeting & control)
After this reposting, run RA for individual billing element and hence you will all the complement detailing and control over Revenue and expense with respect to Product A and Product B individually.
2. If you don't want to maintain that kind of detailing the common expense and keep track of it through project, then have cost centers accordingly and make an assesment/ distribution with respect to expenses accumulated at those cost centers for the period to the respective WBS under each product. Then execute the period end processes for the project.
Or
You can try with have two more line items in the costing sheet as an overhead against common expenses with respect each product.
I hope this should help you.

Function Modules, for listing Cost centers Under a manager

Hi All,
1. Can any one please suggest me any Function Module available for listing the cost center under a manager, given only the Manager's username or pernr.
2. And also the Function Group which has the collection of Function Modules which deals with operations and reporting on Cost centers from a Manager's Role (basically on budjet Monitoring aspects).
Thanks and Regards,
Girimurugan

If this is the followup of the previous post (responsible person) and you wanted to get a list of cost centers based on that using a FM , i doubt that there is a FM available for that. You have to read the table to get the info.
When you say manager, he could be a manager for a HR organisation but the cost organization may be different. in a typical set up it would be a cost center group (which will have set of cost centers under it) and this will be linked to a hr organization.
All this is purely based on how cost center hierarchy (standard hierarchy) and hr organization maintained and how they are linked.

Where to see PC hierarchy with cost center assignments

I have created two profit centers and a number of cost centers. Each cost center has one of the profit centers assgned to it. I can see where to view the profit center hierarchy and where to see the cost center hierarchy. BUt is there somwehere to view the profit center with the cost centers assigned to it in a hierarchy format.
For example, something like this
    PC1000
         CC 500
         CC 501
         CC 502
   PC2000
        CC 600
        CC 601
        CC 602

T CODE FOR BLCKED /UNBLOCKED IN THE COST CENTERS

hI,
i WANT TO SEE ALL CSOT CENTERS WHICH IS BLOCKED /AND UNBLOCKED PLEASE TELL ME THE T.CODE FOR THAT

Hi,
I understand that you want to check the cost center for the locks activated for various transactions. Go to transaction KS13 - give the cost center hierarchy for which you want to see the cost centers and execute.
The report will be displayed showing the locks for the various postings. This can be further controlled by changing the layout as desired.
Good Luck!!! Please assign points if useful!!!!!!!

BAPI_COSTCENTERGROUP_CREATE not adding Cost centers to group

Hello,
I am using BAPI_COSTCENTERGROUP_CREATE to add/delete Cost Centers from a group by passing Controlling Area, Group name and Cost centers in HIERARCHYVALUES table.
Though the BAPI successfully deletes existing Cost centers from the group, while adding, it gives error message that 'This function is not allowed in the standard hierarchy'
If anyone has worked with this BAPI before or faced a similar error, kindly revert.
Thanks in advance.

Cost Centers Restructreing

Dear Guru's,
Our Client want to restructre the cost centers, can anybody please tell me the process and they want to change the profit center in cost center master data, in that cost centers have the cost. So pleae guide me the process for that
thanks in advance.
regards,
Gopi.

Hi Gopi,
You can restructure the cost center hierarchy by going into OKEON. there you can change the relevant parameters like Time Frame, Cost center category, busi. area, profit center, etc.
To change profit center & business area in the cost center it is necessary that there shouyld be no postings to that cost center.
After changing the hierarchy please make ambiguity check.
Regards,
Amol

Change Validity Period of Cost centers ??

Hi,
Is it possible to change the validity period of cost centers ??, like in my case we are having validity period until 12/31/9999, so because of this even when some one blocks the cost centers they still appear in the F4 list of cost centers!!! used at many places to search for cost centers.
My requirement is to restrict the blocked cost centers from appearing in the search help list for cost centers.
Thanks.

Hello Rahul,
Validity of cost centers can be changed in transaction OKEON : Standard hierarchy of cost center change.
Select your cost center, In basic data tab you can change the validity dates.
This should help.
Thanks
