Standard MLC integration: Different costs throughout a period

Hi Experts:
Taking into account the following scenario:
Task based MLC
Cost rate A defined
- From 2007.01.01 to 2008.01.01 of 100 /h;
- From 2008.01.02 to 2009.01.01 of 110 /h;
Task, with a resource assigned from 2007.12.01 to 2008.02.01 and workload of 50 h. The resource has the cost rate A assigned.
Which will be the final budget for the task? Does the ECP take a different line for each rate?
Kind regards,
Neil

Calculation Strategy per Activity Unit for the cost for task is in the following order
1. Different costs which you entered for the task (if not)
2. Costs per activity unit for the task in Customizing
The system first checks whether the first strategy can be used. The system only checks the second strategy and so on if the first strategy cannot be used
Evaluation Date is either Fixed or calculated start of task.

Customized report for cost centers by different cost centers

Hi All,
Customized report for cost centers by different cost centers:
I need to build a customised report with the following format:
Cost element columns | Cost center 1 | cost center 2 | cost center 3, etc -> dynamic cost center columns
CE 1 .............................. amount xxx | . amount xxx | .. amount xxx
CE 2 .............................. amount xxx | . amount xxx | .. amount xxx
CE 3 .............................. amount xxx | . amount xxx | .. amount xxx
CE 3 .............................. amount xxx | . amount xxx | .. amount xxx
User selection screen:
Controlling are:
Fiscal Year:
From period to period:
cost center group ... <range of CC group> or
cost center value ... <range of CC value>
Questions:
From the above selection screens, I need to pull out all the data stored in the table: COEP
But, the problem is that inside this table, there is no cost center or cost center group stored; and therefore the program should be smart enough to pull out all the documents from the table: COEP and then make sure that the document / list of documents that pull out should belongs to the cost center or cost center group, as well as date range.
KIndly advise how functional description/design should be built in order ABAPer can understand the requirement?
What should be the tables to refer in order meet the requirement.
Similar Standard SAP cost center report should be S_ALR_87013611 - Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance, but this report read from many tables.

Hi,
Please find the logic below & try it at your system-
Here cost center group is not possible (also i not checked it so do it on your own simultaneously i am trying the same).
Use Table BSEG-> in bseg give the cost center-> with the help of cost center find the account number (field HKONT)-> take this GL account number & got to table COEP-> in this give the GL account number at field 'offsetting account' (field GKONT) & you will get the line item.
Try it & let me know if you have any question.
Thanks

CK24 - mark and release with different costing version

Hi,
We are currently using standard costing variant PPC1 and costing version 1 to mark and release the standard costs. However when we try to recost the material cost due to price changes, system does not allow to mark & release revised standard cost if we try to mark & release on same day. pls note standard cost estimate is already released for the month. And we do not want to delete existing standard cost estimate. Instead we want to explore other options. We are using 4.7.
My questions are :
a) Can recost using costing version 2? CK11N allows to save the costing result. However in CK24 Marking allowance, system does not allow to change Costing Version. is there any config option to change this.
b) If we cannot use different cost version, can we update material cost with same costing variant (PPC1) and costing version (1) in this case. However when we tried to do recost with same costing variant & verison on same day, system gives an error 'Material AAAA in plant MMM has a released cost estimate.'
Any inputs on above issue highly appreciated.
thanks
Sunil

Hi,
While, you can use any of the Costing versions to mark & release Standard cost estimate, you can release Cost estimate only once in a fiscal period. If you want to release correct prices, then you have delete existing released cost estimates using CKR1 transaction and then re-run CK40N to release.
Hope this helps.

Different Cost Centers for Different Line Items in a single Reservation

Hello Gurus,
When we create a Material Reservation, we give the cost center at the header level and that cost center is accounted for each of the line items in the reservation. But when the reservation has many line items which depend on different cost centers, there is a need to enter different cost centers for different line items in the same Material Reservation. How can this be done? Please suggest.

Hi,
It's a standard restriction in SAP functionality where one reservation document can only accommodate one cost center.
You can not maintain multiple cost centres for individual line items.
You have to create seperate Reservations for each cost centre.

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.

CATS Time Entry - Charging time to a different cost center

We are looking at using CATS for time entry for our salaried non-exempt employees. Some of these employees charge their overtime to a different cost center. For example, normally their overtime is charged to their own cost center but periodically they help another group and need to charge the overtime to the other group's cost center. In the CATS profile where you select the fields you want to be available for input, display, etc., I see cost center as an option. However, when I select it as a field for input, it does not appear on the timesheet. I see there are other cost center fields (receiver cost center, sender cost center) but I thought these had more to do with work orders (not sure of that, though) and work orders are not used for this group of people. Currently, the time is being charged to an alternate cost center when the time administrator enters the overtime via PA30 and then selects the 'Cost assignment' button to record the appropriate cost center. I would appreciate any information/guidance you can provide. Thank you.

Hi Kathleen,
We are trying to do the same thing so I understand exactly what you are asking. We made the sender cost center field an input field via the IMG - Cross-Applications Components> Time Sheet> Time Recording> Choose fields> - select data entry section and look for sender cost centre - field name CATSD-SKOSTL - ensure "input" is selected.
Eventhough we have been able to enter an alternative cost center with an attendance (i.e., different from the employee's cost center saved on IT0001), it is not being transferrred to HR (does not appear on attendance infotype) therefore payroll does not pick-up the cost center with the attendance hours and it is not posted to FI. Payroll continues to use the employee's home cost center.
Have you been able to get any further with this issue?
You can contact me directly if you like - 1-613-599-8600 - ext 243.

Accrual and differal cost ??

Hi PS Gurus
what is accrual and differal cost?
thanks in advance...

Go through this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_glossary/en/35/26b849afab52b9e10000009b38f974/content.htm
Accrual is expense before a closing key date that represents an expense for any period after that key closing date.
Deferred is income before a closing key date that represents revenue for any period after that date.
It is basically saying that you are accruing expense for a period from a previous period or receiving income in a period that is deferred for the next period.
Please reward points if helpful.

Venkat.

Allocation of cost to different cost center

Hi Techies,
I have to allocate cost from one cost center to different cost center according to percentage (%). Company wants to show same cost on sender and then breakdown according to % on receiver cost center.
Example: Company wants to allocate cost from CCenter A to Ccenter B1, B2, B3.... according to % like 74.1% to B1, 14.8% to B2. Now which allocation functionality (Assessment, Distribution) I should use to solve this problem. I would really appreciate if you have method or process step to perform this process.
Thank You,
Kenny

Use transaction KSU2 to call the Assessment Cycle.
Click on "First Segment" and in the segment header, under Sender Values, select Posted Amounts and key in 100% (since you wish to assess all the costs). Under Receiver Tracing Factor, select Fixed Percentages.
Click on the "Senders/Receivers" tab. Now under "Senders", do an F4 (dropdown list) in the Cost Centres field and select your Cost Centres (or groups).
Similarly click on the Cost Elements and dropdown to select your Cost Elements or groups.
Now under Receivers, in the Cost Centre field, key in the Cost Centres you wish to post costs to.
Click the next tab Sender Values
Here, enter Share in % as 100% (default) and under version, enter 0.
Now click on the Receiver Tracing Factor tab. You should see all the Cost Centres you entered under Receivers in the Sender/Receiver tab. Enter the %s you wish to apportion to each Cost Centre.
Save this cycle and run this for the period in question. Before you run this, make sure you post some costs to the Sender Cost Centres. Else the system will find nothing to assess and come back with the same error.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Adobe Standard XI full version costs 299$ and subscription to same version is only 13$/month = 156$. Do I get the same product? Is it in both cases installed on my computer and ready to use even if I'm not logged on internet?

Adobe Standard XI full version costs 299$ and subscription to same version is only 13$/month = 156$. Do I get the same product? Is it in both cases installed on my computer and ready to use even if I'm not logged on internet?

They are the same product.
The "full" is a traditional perpetual license. Install - register - activate - use.
Does not "call home" to validated that is a paid for install (the one time activation takes care of that).
Internet? Connectivity is needed in order to download and install updates.
(& Yes, you do want those)
The "subscription" license will require periodic internet connectivity. If I recall correctly all "subscription" applications must call home once a month.
That is how the application "knows" it is being paid for and is legit.
While within the call home periodicity connectivity is not required for usage of the application.
As with a "full" license you'll need connectivity to download/install application updates
Be well...

How to estimate different cost via diffrent equipement to one product in SAP

hello, everyone,
Our factory have Two equipments , one is a new equipment A , the other is an old equipment B,
they all produce the prodcut W , but the old equipment B consume electricity ,warm water and Raw material is much more than the new equipment A. So the cost price of product W is different when they were produced by equipment B and equipment A.
the Finacial Department and Sales Department want to know different cost price of product W via different equipments in the end of every month. Now we use two different material NO to deal with it(actually it is one product ) ,but this method take a lot trouble to stock, because one product quantities were seperated by different material NO in Storage location.
According to this requirement, we activate the split valation, but the customizing of split valuation just supply one field for" val.type in-house prod", at the same time , the t-code CK11N screen has not the field vauation type. if we don't estimate the material cost price by CK11N, when we create sales billing ,the system can not post COPA document and give a error that is :“Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product "1180119998"
   may you have a good method to deal with this type of business or you ever met this kind of business . may you share it , I appreciate you for your help !!!
    Davis
    Best&Regard.

Davis,
You can create different production order like one production order for new equipment   Or Other For second old equipment and old equipment order you can increase the material component quantity .
or second i agree with Mr. Biju K
you can create two cost center
old equipment : xxxxx
new equipment : yyyyy
you can create different work center base on two separate cost center so all cost book in separately in cost center.

Overtime assignment to a different cost center

Hello,
Scenario:
Overtime with different cost center
DWS: 0800 - 1700
Actual IN: 0800
Actual OUT: 2300
Approved OT: 1800 - 2400
Cost center: 10100 (This cost center is different from the cost center in IT0001) should be charged for the overtime only.
Given the scenario above, I could not use infotype 2002 (create an attendance type as overtime) since if i input 1800-2400 the system will valuate the whole six hours (6) as overtime (note: the system should only valuate 5 hours- 1800-2300; approved overtime with comparison to actual in/out).
If I will use infotype 2005, it will have the same behavior as it 2002. 1800-2400 will be paid.
If I will use infotype 2007 via the GOT function, it will valuate the overtime as 1800-2300 (approved overtime with comparison to actual in/out) correctly BUT i could not charged the corresponding cost center. I already checked the spro and it 2007's cost center could not be activated.
Do you have any ideas in mind? Any comments are appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
Thank you for your answers.
I am considering using IT2007 since it automatically distinguish which work should be valuated as overtime with regards to comparing the filed overtime (via input in IT2007) with regards to the time entries(clock in/out) of the employee.
Example:
if daily workschedule is 0800- 1700
actual in/out 0800 - 2300
entry in IT2007 is 1700 - 2400
The overtime that the system will recognize is 1700-2300.
Unlike in using IT2005, if i input 1700-2400, it will valuate 1700-2400 without considering the actual in/out of the employee.
I can manually change the IT2005 but the overtime of the employees which are assigned to another cost center are 1000+records in a day. If I manually edit the entries in IT2005, it will be very tedious. Same goes if it is via 2010.
Do you guys have other ideas in mind?
Btw, I am using positive time eval.
Thanks in advance.

Trip approval workflow on different cost centers.

Hi Experts,
I have a business case that trip shall be approved by Cost Center HOD's (Cost center Owner).
For Example:
Case 1: if an employee is going on business trip and charging is on his master cost center. Then his approval shall be done by his HOD or Cost center HOD (Stnd Solution)
Case 2: If an employee is going on business trip other than his master cost center, then approval shall be required from his Cost center owner (HOD).
Case 3: if employee is going on such trip where his charging shall be charged on Different Cost Centers (Master Cost Center + other cost center's) . Firstly approval shall be made his Master Cost Center (if available) then approval shall be required for all cost center in-charges.
Assume that there is one to one relationship between cost center and Org unit.
Please suggest some solutions for case 2,3
Thank you in advance!

Hi Muhammad,
As suggested by Thomas, you can use Rules to determine the agent who should get the workitem for approval.
Within the rule you could embed a FM wherein you could write your logic to determine the appropriate approver based on the trip data and the cost center of the user creating the trip.
Hope this helps!

COPA cost base same cond. map to NET Sales different cost elements problem

Hi Guru,
I have the following issue:
I mapped ONE billing condition type assigned to ONE value field. ZPCD is assigned to value field VV110 (net sales)
That one condition type can post to 2 different cost element based on the account assignment group of the item
One cost element is set up and revenue type 11 and the value is posted to COPA value field NET SALES
The other cost element is set up as cost type 1 and the posting to COPA is blank i.e. no posting to value field NET SALES
In both cases a COPA document is created i.e. total 2 COPA documents one for each posting.
What is the problem??
Thanks
Linda

For the purchased products, you may perhaps use the condition type VPRS to bring in the material price from the material master.
