Statistical Cost Element / category 90

Hello all:
I have create statistical cost element with category 90 .
I assign one cost center to Asset too.
Then I do f-90 to acquisition asset already, it really debit my G/L reconciliation (which I have stat cost element =90)
but which report I can see report total of this stat cost element ? with cost center that I assign in G/L?
Standard cost actual /plan report (S_ALR_87013611) not show the value of statistical cost element???
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Manthana

Hi,
that is right, the S_ALR_87013611 (report 1SIP-001) is only selecting value type 4. You can copy the report 1SIP-001
and create a customer-defined report in GRR1. After that, you can add the value type 11 to the column definition
in GRR2.

STATISTICAL COST ELEMENT PROBLEM

Hi all,
following is my problem-:
i has craeted a 'Statistical Internal Order' in which i assigned a responsible 'Cost Center' n simultaneously i created a 'Primary cost element' & a 'Statistical cost element' under category 90.
when i m posting a document through T. Code FB50 in which i give above mentioned G.Ls (cost element)& enter the above mentioned 'Statistical internal Order', after hitting the enter button the responsible cost center comes in the cost center column only infront of 'primary cost element' not in front of 'statistical cost element.
my question is why cost center is ot coming infront of statistical cost element n how it will come.
thanks in advance
sandeep

GL Accounts are always assigned to Real Cost elements and not Statistical Cost element.
Further when you hit a Statistical Internal order, the GL Account/Real primary cost element would require a real cost object, hence it is popping up the Cost center assigned in the Statistical Internal order which is correct.
Statistical cost element can't have any Cost center (real) assgined

Results analysis for POC method with statistical cost element

Hi,
We are testing ETO (engineering-to-order) scenario With valuated
project stock and cost based POC RA method.
Inventory is updated during external procurement and we have used
statistical cost elements (Cost element category - 90) for inventory G/L.We want to use a
Result analysis method which considers this statistical cost elements
for calculating POC.For this purpose we have implemented SAP Notes
616960, 616869 and 78420.
In short, as per SAP note 616869, we created a customer enhancement
project for customer enhancement 5 of the results analysis (see Note
H78420). We copied the source code for customer enhancement 5 of the
correction instructions of note 616869 and then implemented SAP note
616960 to read the statistical actual costs.
Then we included the statistical cost as actual costs - Category K in
OKG4.
The system is doing POC and revenue in excess of billing calculation
correctly after taking into consideration the posted statistical cost.
During settlement of RA (CJ88), system is not giving effect to
inventory value. On settlement of RA, revenue should be recognized but
at the sametime the inventory represented by statistical posting should
be consumed(COS). The system should post a P&L posting which reduces
the inventory (representing statistical cost) and updates the actual
costs on settlement.
In our example, Statistical actual
posting is of USD 57150, planned revenue USD 100000 and POC is 70.27%.
Revenue in excess of billing comes to USD 70265.60. Recognisation of
revenue of USD 70265.60 is not correct as actual consumption is yet to
happen. The correct posting in FI should be revenue of USD 70265.60
along with COS of USD 57150.
Please suggest why on settlement the system is not posting the COS
along with revenue recognised?
Thanks,
BK

Hi Bijay,

Statistical Cost Elements

Hello
How can we create statsical cost elements for Incventory balance sheet items with 90 Category.
Help wud be appreciated.

Hallo,
The same have to maintained through asset configuration.
1st you set the bs g/l as asset reco a/c
2nd you set the same to t/code AO90 in any Account determ. area, where not available any existing g/l & it should be maintained in the area of acquistion a/c assigment
3rd you check the t/code OAMK wheter the g/l are available.
4th you can create statistical cost element through FS00 or KA01.
5th after cretation of cost element, you can set a normal g/l. i.e withdraw the reco a/c from Fs00 & setting change from AO90.
But the same will be happend only for new g/l with balance.

Cost element category 11 problem

Dear Experts,
While creating PR using GL account xxxx this error message appears:
Revenue cannot be assigned to CTR xxxx//2222
Message no. KI 295
Diagnosis
The given object is not a valid additional account assignment for revenue or debit postings.
Procedure
In this transaction only use additional account assignments that allow revenue postings.
I've check through KA03, the CE category is "revenue" (category 11). I've tried using another CE (e.g: CE category 1)to creating PR and its works.
How to fix this issue since the user still want to use the CE with category 11?
Pls advice.
Thanks.

Cost centers are for monitoring costs. When you allow the revenues to be posted to a cost center, it means that you are controlling the revenues also with the use of cost center controlling.
In your case you are using GL account which has been created as revenue element(category 11). To revenues any costs being assigned to cost centers will not be allowed. When you use a cost element (category 1) it posts as you are using this to post costs. SAP recognises this as a cost when you post to this category.
As far as possible you should avoid posting revenues to cost centers. Let me know if you need any further clarification.

CSKA & CSKB Tables -Cost Element+ Controlling Area, Cost Element Category

I have few questions on Chart Of Accounts and Controlling Areas and CSKA(Cost elements (data dependent on chart of accounts)) and CSKB (Cost elements (data dependent on controlling area)) Tables--
1) One Chart Of Accounts has one or more Controlling Areas. Is there any situation where One Controlling Area contains many Chart Of Accounts.
2) CSKA Table contains all the Cost Elements under the Chart Of Accounts. So does all these Cost Elements appear under CSKB Table. Are there any Cost Elements which doesn't fall under any of the Controlling Area and only exists under Chart Of Accounts Level in CSKA Table.
3) In CSKB Table How do we know the corresponding Chart Of Accounts for the Cost Element.
4) In CSKB Table Cost Element Category depends on both Cost Element and Controlling Area. So does a Cost Element can be Primary Cost Element for one Controlling Area which happens to be GL Account and Secondary Cost Element for some controlling Areas.
5) Are there any Company Codes under the Chart Of Accounts which doesn't belong to any of the Controlling Area and doesn't have any Cost Elements.

Hi,
1) One Chart Of Accounts has one or more Controlling Areas. Is there any situation where One Controlling Area contains many Chart Of Accounts. Never
One controlling area can be assigned to many company codes, but all must have been assigned to the same chart of accounts only. This is the pre requisite for the so called cross company controlling
2) CSKA Table contains all the Cost Elements under the Chart Of Accounts. So does all these Cost Elements appear under CSKB Table. Are there any Cost Elements which doesn't fall under any of the Controlling Area and only exists under Chart Of Accounts Level in CSKA Table.
If some data exists in CSKA table, it mean that, it must have been created as a CE in any of the controlling area
3) In CSKB Table How do we know the corresponding Chart Of Accounts for the Cost Element.
In CSKB, you wont get the correspondant COA for the given controlling area. If you want to know it pass field value CSKB-KOKRS to table field TKA01-KTOPL to get the assigned COA
4) In CSKB Table Cost Element Category depends on both Cost Element and Controlling Area. So does a Cost Element can be Primary Cost Element for one Controlling Area which happens to be GL Account and Secondary Cost Element for some controlling Areas.
You cannot create a secondary cost elemant using a key matching with an GL code in cross company controlling. In case of both company codes assigned to different controlling areas this can be possible
5) Are there any Company Codes under the Chart Of Accounts which doesn't belong to any of the Controlling Area and doesn't have any Cost Elements.
Only In case of CO module is not active for the a company code
Note: If you have more queries, post it separately rather than asking all in one thread. and be specific with your requirement with the actual scenario.
Thanks,
Srinu

How to link GL Account with Cost element category

Hi,
I have to generate a report by querying tables SKA1,SKB1,SKAT and CSKB.
Step 1.Firstly I have queried SKA1,
step 2. for the obtained SAKNR(GL Accounts) from step 1,I have queried SKB1 table
step 3. For the obtained SAKNR from step2, I have queried SKAT table.
Now, I have to get KATYP(Cost element category) from CSKB based on the above steps.
Please can you let me know the procedure to fetch the Cost element category(KATYP) from CSKB based on the above 3 steps?

Hi,
a cost element (primary cost element, thats what we are talkgin about as you want to join them to FI account numbers) is created per controlling area.
If your comp.codes to be reported use different controlling areas you have to identify which controlling area is used for which comp. code (tab. TKA02) and join the skb1 account number to cskb cost element number for reporting the KATYP.

Statistical cost element (Value type 11) line item entry in CJI3

Dear all
I am doing WBS settlement to AUC thr CJ88. Suppose actual cost on WBS is 100 rs.
CJI3 report shows the balance to be settled to AUC. Now It is showing 100 rs balance. I carry out WBS settlement to AUC.
Even though settlement has taken place to AUC, CJI3 is showing line item entry of 100 rs (Statistical cost element with value type 11).
This also affects our reporting as in report S_ALR_87013558, because of statistical cost element line item entry, WBS actual cost is showing as (100+100 st'cal)
Also, I read in sap note 666152 that we can define transaction type as not releavent for account assignment. But i dont see this kind of setting anywhere in transaction type.
Can we restrict the statistical cost element to not take part in CJI3 (CO reporting)? How we can avoid statistical CO postings.
Pls suggest
Madhusudan Patil

Hello,
Statistical postings could be generated, if
(a) you have 2 co-objects, e.g. cost center and internal order. There is a default rule in the system, that in this case the internal order will be posted real and the cost center statistical
(b) you have 2 co-objects and one is marked as statistical in the master data. Actual Postings only to statistical co-objects are not possible. You can not settle statistical values, they will stay at the object.
Please check OSS-message 106968. It explains everything in detail.
You can modify your report, that it will show only real postings (value type 04), but I wouldn't do it. For me it sounds that you have to check your value flows in general. They look inconsistent, if you do not expect statistical postings.
Kind regards
Tapio

Cost Element Category and Commitment Item Cat. for PS Cash Mgmt

Dear All,
We are activating PS Cash Mgmt.
I want to know the difference between:
1. Maintaining the Cost Element Category as 1 and 11. Is it necessary to maintain 11 (Revenues) or maintaining 1 (Primary costs/cost-reducing revenues) will have same result.
2. In Comm. Item Financial Tran. maintained is 30. But for Commitment Item Cat. as 3 (Expenditures) or 2 (Revenues) only to be assigned for revenue.
Our Client is asking to maintain everything as 3 (Expenditures) to all the commitment items. What will be the effect on PS Cash Management if I use Cost Element Category as 1 & Commitment Item Cat. as 3 ?
Regards
Shubham

Hi,
Cost element category as 1 and commint Item caterory 3 holds good for all expenses, so you can use this, with this when you process Invoice In MIRO a Project cash management document will get generated and this will update the report against the payments in CJIA as well in S_ALR_87013574 reports etc.
Combination for creating commitment items is
Cost element category 1 --> Commitment item category as 3 and Financial Transaction as 30
Cost element category 11--> Commitme nt Item category as 2 and Financial Trns as 30.
Note : what ever the G/L accounts created wrt Chart of accounts, whether it is Expenses or Inventory or Revenues, you have to assign commitment item in the G/L Master in Create/bank/interest tab in field commitment item. If it is not assigned in all modules you will get error as commitment item not assigned.
Thanks

Change cost element category from 1 to 11

Dear all,
We created by mistake revenues accounts with cost element category 1 instead of 11.
We created a sales document (contract) with account assignment to a WBSE. The revenues were appearing as negative planned cost so we realized the mistake.
Now we have deleted the item in the sales document, we have created a new revenue account with the correct cost element category 11 and we have added to the account determination (VKOA).
Now the revenue appears in the new cost element. Nonetheless we still see the revenue value as a negative planned cost.
If we create a new project and a new sales document everything is correct. But we want to mend the first one. Any idea of how?
Best regards

Fantastic !
Thank you very much

Condition Type with cost element category 1

Dear Sap expert,
I have costing based copa and I am running make to stock scenario.
SD team added new condition type in their pricing.
This condition type is mapped to FI GL account which is a cost account (cost element category 1) while the other condition type in SD pricing is cost element category 11 or 12.
I mapping this cost account to a cost center in OKB9.
But when SD run billing, there is an error message :
"Prof.segment for prim.cost elements not advisable for costing-based CO-PA" .
I don't mapped this new condition type to copa value field.
But Why does this error come?
Please help me.
Regards

Hi Anu
This is standard behaviour... Once you have COPA active, the Prof Segment gets derived when you create Sales Order...
So, any posting that happens from Billing, gets assigned to this Prof Segment...
The design is such that you cant post to COPA using Catg 1 cost element....
So, if you are posting to this GL account from SD Billing, you need to have it as Catg 11 or 12.... If you dont want to post it to COPA, then do not post to this GL from SD billing.. Post it from FI side...

SAP Standard Report for Cost Element Category

Hi All,
I just wanted to know that if there are any report(s) involving Cost element categories. Say for example, if the cost element category is provided the report fetches the cost elements associated with the category and the documents posted.
Thanks and Regards,
Gnanasambanthan.V

Hi,
There is no standard report based on cost element category, but of course, you can use, for example, KSB5 and give the selection of the cost elements you want to present. I presume, you have different number range for each category and it could be easily distinguished in the selection screen.

Statistical cost element 90

Hi,
Can any one please help me to understand the statistical cost element 90. I have created asset reconciliation account as statistical cost element. I come to know this will help to track the budgeting. But i don't have clear idea.
Can any one help me undertand what is the purpose and how it functions in tracking the budgetsin CO??
Regards,
Deva

Hi Phaneendra,
Thank you for your reply. Still i having few more queries. I have created the Internal order as statistical order. Budgeting also done. While creating the PO i have given both AUC and Internal order as account ssignement reference. In this case the cost centre will get update throw cost center from Asset master. The Internal order gets statisticlly updated throw direct assignement in the PO.
In my understanding the budget will be updated throw inernal order assignemet in the PO. If that is the case what is the statistical cost element role here??
But in the case of project system we have created the real WBS element and not the statistical WBS. while creating the PO we are giving WBS element as the account assignment and its get updated in the budget. While settlement, value from WBS element will be settled to AUC and then from AUC to main asset.
Can you please help me to understand the statistical cost element functionality here??? If my above understanding is wrong please excuse me.
Regards,
Deva

Setting of Cost Element category

Hi Experts
I have a query around whether to set particular accounts as Category Primary Cost Elements (1) or Revenue Elements (11).
We are a financing business and generally split our P&L into Income, Expenses and Bad Debt. Currently all cost elements under Bad Debt are defined as 1 Primary Cost Elements but this means that the business need to enter a cost centre when posting to the accounts.
The business have argued that they do not need to analyse Bad Debt by cost centre - simply by Profit Centre, in the same way as Income.
Can you tell me:
Is it possible / advisable to change the Bad Debt cost elements from being Primary Cost Elements to being Revenue Cost Elements?
What are the implications if we make this change?
Thanks
Gareth

Thanks Venkat
Apart from the process of changing the COst Element Category, is it advisable for 'Bad Debt accounts' to be classified as Revenue elements in CO?
The accounts are expense accounts in FI. Are there any implications in classifying them as Revenue elements?
Will changing them to be Revenue elements:
mean we are no longer required to populate Cost Centre?
still enforce the recording of Profit Centre for transactions posted there?
Thanks
Gareth
