Stop Direct Cost Center Postings

Hi,
Is there any method in CO to block direct cost center postings in Plant/Business Area Wise? All the posting should be made through Internal Orders and no direct Cost Center postings are allowed. Is there any possibility to do this in the system.
Thanks

Hi,
CO-validation (T-Code GGB0, Cost accounting / line item) create a step like: Prerequisite TRUE, Check: COBL-KOSTL = ' ' Message ... (message is raised if check is NOT fulfilled).
Activate this validation step in T-Code OKC7.
Best regards, Christian

Internal order posting vs cost center

HI,
I have a requirement like this; in our company we have allowed the posting to be made only through internal orders no
direct cost center postings are allowed. Is there any report to carry out a comparison between internal order posting and cost center postings? I just want to check the transaction which directly posted to cost center instead of internal order.
please help.
thanks
best regards
gayani

Hi,
Do you want to trace postings which were done only on cost centres without I/O? You can go to KSB1 and select the line where Auxiliary account assignment is blank - this will mean that these lines were posted only to cost centre.
Also, if your I/O are real one, you can select in KSB1 postigns with '4' value type, which will mean that the posting on cost centre is real and not statistical; therefore, no postings on I/O happened.

Type of cost center

Hi,
May I know what is the difference between direct cost center and indirect cost center?
Can explain with example?
Thanks
Moderator: There is no such SAP term. For indirect costs, please search the Web

Before you remove the Entity dimension, you must first un-assign it as either a work status dimension or a concurrent lock dimension. YOu'll need to temporarily assign some other dimension as the locking dimension.
Once you replace Entity with CostCenter, you'll probably want to set back the locks to use the new CostCenter dimension.

Best practice for reclassifying Cost Center/Element

Dear experts,
Currently the company I'm working for are using SA document (FB50) if there are mistakes when posting cost to Cost Center, they will DR New Cost Center and CR Old Cost Center.
However, it is seem a bit difficult to trace the changes later on. Hence, I would like to ask for opinions on what is the best practice for reclassifying cost center or cost element.
Right now, I'm planning to propose of using KB11N to reclassify cost center. Is this a good practice and easy to trace the cost movement? Is there any different with normal journal adjustment via FB50 and KB11N?
Need some advices from experts.

Hi:
Both options are viable. If you reverse posting in FB50 then FI GL account postings will also be reversed and along with cost center postings. Hence here advantage is that cost center reversal will be with referenced to the original document with which wrong posting were made. Disadvantage here is that you will to post the entry again in FB50 . In KB11N you will simply transfer cost center amount from wrong to new one that should be in place of it but here you will have no reference . I personally think reversing posting through FB50 is viable options , reverse postings can be seen in KSB1 as well against that cost center.

Delete cost center that has postings

Hi Sappers!
I need to delete a cost center that has posting till 07.30.2007.
The balance of the cost center is $0.
Appreciate your time!

Thanks for your replies guys...
I executed the test run in KS04. I can't delete the cost center as it already has posting till period 07/30/2008. ( I had mentioned this before as well)
Is it that I'll have to wait till the end of the validity period to delete the cost center? If yes, then do I have to change the validity to say todays date and then delete it?
The postings to this cost center have stopped since August. No one posts to this cost center. So I guess there is no need to block the postings.
Appreciate your time!
Edit: The cost center is already blocked against postings.

Cost Center Locking for Direct Posting

Hi all,
I am getting an error reading something like this:
"cost center is locked for primary posting.".
Can any tell me how do I address issue? Is changing the cost center in the control tab of change cost center node in img guide the only way? If i do that, do I need to explicity activate it? And most importantly, which of the 6 check boxes prevents(if at all) from being directly posted.
Thanks,
Vivek
PS: Good and fast replies shall be rewarded

Hi Vivek,
Execute Transaction code KS02, input the affected cost centre to change the master data. Click on the "Control" tab and uncheck the box "Actual primary costs". Save your changes. With this amendment, you would no longer have the error message during posting.
Normally, if the check box is checked, this is what would happened.
Lock Indicator for Actual Primary Postings
Indicator defining whether a cost center is locked for posting with direct costs.
If the indicator is checked/active, no primary costs can be posted to the cost center. You may, however, still use the cost center for evaluations such as summarization, etc.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.

Jacob

Asset Postings on Internal Order or Cost Center

Hello All,
I created the Asset B/S Recon A/C as Cost Element 90 to have postings on cost Objects.
In ACSET - I customized both IO and CC to have APC postings and Depreciation postings.
But when I post an acquisition, Iam not seeing either an IO or CC in the Document.
Am I missing some thing.
Thanks.

Hi Venkat,
Make the fields Cost center and CO/PP Order as optional in field status group that you will assign in GL Master Record.
I think for reconciliation account, we generally assign G067 field status group. Go to T'code OBCD and double click on G067 - Reconciliation accounts - Additional account assignments and make those fields optional.

Reporting Direct Production Cost Center Over/Under Absorption

Hi,
I am trying to find a way to report Manufacturing Cost Center Over/Under Absorption in a similar way COGS are reported in CO-PA. I mean - I would like to breakdown Direct Manufacturing Cost Center Over/Under Absorption into cost elements (just like COGS are broken down in COPA when invoice is posted).
I wonder if this is possible in SAP without Material Ledger implemented. If yes - can it be achieved by using a standard functionality or does it require an additional development?
Thank you,
K

Thanky you for your reply Ranjan,
My intention was to show Cost center over/underabsorption broken down by cost componets (activity Labour, Machine, Overhead). Currently it is shown as a balance on cost center. I would like to be able to recognize which part of Direct manufacturing CC balance refers to Labour, which to Machine and which to Overhead. Is it possible to achieve in sandard report or additional settings/development is required.
Regards,
Karol

How to clear Statistical Postings from Cost Center

Hi All,
Is there a way to clear the statistical postings from the cost center it has been incorrectly posted to and be moved to the correct cost center?
I think there is a way to do it by making debit and credit entries to the G/L account where the postings initiated, but I am not sure about the whole process.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Pradeep,
I think u can use T.code KB15N for the issue ur facing.

Hi,
Your question is not clear.
Ok.
If you want to issue goods to cost center you can use 201 movement type.
If you want do create automatic PO in back ground during goods receipt, you can do it with customization. For automatic PO creation during goods receipt, you can search in SDN, you can get the answer.

How to move statistical postings from one cost center to another

Hi All,
We have some statistical postings done to an incorrect cost center. Now we want to move them to the correct cost center.
I know there is some way of doing it by making debit and credit entries to the G/L account in FI where the postings intiated, but I am not sure about the whole process.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

hi
I am not very sure if there is any entry for reversing statistical posting in Controlling.
You can do the same through FI entry itself.
