Sub-contracting based on materials and no default cost center

Hi Experts:
I have searched the forum before posting this question. My client wants subcontracting to be based on materials. A cost element 123 has been assigned to Transaction GBB. This cost element has been defined in OKB9 and is hitting one default cost center.
Client wants the system to be able to post directly to cost center for the material brand as opposed to a default cost center. If I delete account 123 as a cost element and delete it's assignment to a default cost center in OKB9, and assign all valuation classes to account 123 under transaction GBB, will the user be able to specify the cost center manually? Where do I go to check the settings?
Thanks in advance for your help !

Hi,
If you would like to assign the cost object (cost center) to your G/L account, then your account shall be set as cost element.  Make sure also that the setting via Transaction OME9 for your account assignment category "K" shall be set so that cost center field is mandatory which requires your end users to manually enter it during PO creation.
Cheers,
HT

  • Default cost center not appearing for certain users

    Hi Gurus,
    We are on SRM 4.0 classic scenario.
    For certain users when they create SC in SRM the default cost center is not automatically taken into account even if they change it to it. The default cost center was changed for these users and some of them still refer to the old cost center no. which was maintained for them.
    The users are not defective and the except the cost center all other attributes work fine. I have tested by deleting & recreating new BP no. for the users but it still doesnt help. Please advise.

  • How to maintain default cost center at House Bank Account level for Bank charges

    Hello All - We have 4 Bank accounts and all of them are assigned to the same transaction type.
    As of now, we have OKB9 set up maintained for Bank charges at Co Cd level and it is posted to the same GL A/c.
    Now, My requirement is that I need to have different Cost center maintained for 2 of the 4 House Bank Accounts.
    Can you pls let me know if any possibility.
    Thanks

    Interesting requirement. This can be achieved through Search String as suggested by Mr. Shanid.
    Try to find a text in the note to payee line for bank charges for creating a search string.
    For Example. See below note to payee line and assume this line for bank charges.
    16,455,130155,0,5/3 BANKCARD SYS  CH,,5/3 BANKCARD SYS  CHARGBACKS.
    Identify a text which should always come with this line for every EBS file for bank charges. Assume here "BANKCARD".
    Now go to T-code OTPM.
    Click on create
    Srch strg name:  Bank Charges
    Description:     Bank Charges
    Search String: BANKCARD ( Based on this text system will search your not to payee line)
    Once you press enter, you will get mapping details on the left side with target field "BANKCARD". Now remove the BANKCARD from target field and put there cost center which you will post for one house bank. Save the data.
    Now move to second step.
    Click on Search String Use.
    Put your company code,
    House bank(mandatroy in your case).
    Interpretation Algorithm( same as you maintained in OT83 for posting rule with external transaction type).
    Search String: BANKCARD.
    Target Field: Cost Center.
    Save.
    Sorry I am not getting option to attach screenshot in SCN now. Dont know why.
    Let us know if you have any doubts.
    Hi Mr. Shanid,
    Correct me if I am wrong.

  • Block default cost center in OKB9

    Dear Experts,
    - If I would like to block one cost center which setting in OKB9 as defaul cost center, then change it to other cost center, what is the affect?
    - If cost element in OKB9 is having no cost center as default , then how the transaction from FI flow to Controlling?
    Kindly advice.
    Thank you.

    Hi Puri,
    When you give any Cost Center as default object in OKB9 for any Cost Element, that means, whenever there is a posting in FI in that GL, the system will prompt the default Cost Center in that line item. User will still have facility to change that cost center and can enter new cost center.
    If you want to replace a new Cost Center with a old Cost Center in OKB9, you can do that at any point of time. No implications.
    If you do no mention any Cost Center as default object in OKB9 for GL, nothing will happen but the User has to select the Cost Center manually at the time of FI postings.

  • How to Default Cost Center During Goods Issue (tcode: MB1A) To Prod Order

    Dear Experts,
    How to default the Cost Center/ Profit Center during goods movement posting?
    Currently, for Goods Issue transaction, the cost center show blank. Even i have default C.Center in cost element (OKB9) 
    Where to link Cost center/ Profit Center to MM module?
    Need your help.
    Thanks,
    Kiran D

    a. If you want to default a cost center to the transaction then use substitution. Give the default profit center in the cost center. so profit center will also get defaulted.
    b. if you want to default the GL account then configure it in OBYC, then use OKB9 to give the default cost center and profit center.

  • PO with account assignment category K and use two cost center

    Dear Experts
    When I create a PO with account assignment category K and use two cost center in the account assigment tab of PO with the same GL or with different GL in the both line item, The FI document does not get posted.
    Any input on this please.
    Regards
    Paul

    Hi,
    Check in the PO document - Item level - Delivery tab
    There are two indicators
    1. Good receipt
    2. GR non-valuated.
    If you are giving only one cost centre, only GR check box active and  GR non-valuated check box is in-active. That's why System creating FI document during GR.
    If you are giving two cost centres, Both GR check box and  GR non-valuated check box are active. That's why System is not creating any FI documents during GR.

  • Default cost center can't work

    we encounter a error in MI07, it says account 5300010 required a assignment for CO object, however we can't set default cost center for this account, because for inventory difference we need to go for different costcenter. is there any other solution, 5300010 is created as cost element.

    Hi,
    What is the basis for determining cost center ?  Without ascertaining this, you can't resolve your with a substitution.
    I have used OKB9 settings to post these kinds of scenarios.

  • Default Cost center in Foreign Exchange fluctuation account

    Hi
    I am doing FB60 of 100$ (1$ = Rs.45). Cost center used at the time of FB60 is 1100 (i,e, engineering division) Now i am paying in full and clearing the same invoice. Exchange rate at the time of Payment is 1$ = Rs.47.
    Now the SAP is picking the cost center given in FB60 i.e. 1100 instead of cost center (i.e. 7500 - finance) defined by default in the cost element. Let me know why the system is picking cost center from FB60.

    HI,
    Is this issue solved?  If not try this thing. Remove the cost center assignment in the cost element, as you are assigning the profit center in OKB9. For a cost element if it is a revenue item profit center should be assigned, if it is a cost item cost center should be assigned.
    In your case, cost center is assigned in cost element and also profit center is assigned in OKB9.
    For one cost element we can not assign both cost center and profit center.
    Hope this should help you
    Thanks and Regards

  • Default Cost Center

    Hi All
    I need to assign a new cost center to the HR module to allocate for payroll costs...
    I m not sure what needs to be done but can anyone guide me on this
    Thank you
    Rukshana

    HI,
    the IMG path described by Dejan and me lead to the same maintenance transaction so no matter which one you use.
    Regarding your additional question, read the documentation to the IMG activity.
    Normally cost center information is derived from the employee's cost center assignment in HR so only some specific cases are posted using this 'Define Substitute Cost Centers for Payroll' IMG step.
    But yes, there you can change the CO-object assignment, just clarify the business process first.
