Hello,
Yes..you can create Primary CE for your Tax account..though CO is used for internal accounting/reporting, there should be a primary CE  for your GL ...to reflect true postings/reporting....
Hope this helps

  • Default "Recoverable Tax" account - cost center segment to specific value

    Dear all,
    I have tried couple of days to see how to use subledger accounting setup to default cost center of recoverable tax account (recoverable tax account - cost center segment to specific value which is based on the cost center of invoice distribution), however it is not succesful.
    I think might be some of the setup is wrong, please see below my setup steps:
    1) Set up Account Derivation Rules
    Copy rule code AP_INVOICE_DIST to T_AP_INVOICE_DIST with adding a source ='Recoverable tax", condition = Invoice Distribution Account is not null
    2) Setup Journal Lines Definition
    3) Setup Accounting Accounting Definition
    Please advice.

    Madhu,
    I did some investigation too and it looks like this is only way i can do this.
    Do you think of any User Exit name, which i can use it here?
    Thank you and appreciate your help.

  • G/L account & cost element

    Pls. clarify how G/L account & cost element is utilized in case of PM orders i.e. actually how these two relate to costing in PM orders.

    Hi,
    Basically Cost Elements are Cost Carriers. Cost elements enable you to break down the cost associated with one cost bucket into more granular entities.
    Primary Cost Element:
    When cost element carriers cost between FI and CO they are called Primary, the link is established GL A/c = Cost element(Primary). Primary cost elements are like materail costs, personnel costs, energy costs... where a corresponding GL account exists in FI..to allow costs to flow...
    Secondary Cost Element :
    When cost element carries cost with in CO, then they are called secondary cost element. 
    Secondary cost elements are like production costs, material overheads, production overheads, they can be created and administered in only CO.  These are used in internal cost allocation, overhead calculation, settlement transactions., it does not flow to FI...
    Plant Maintenance:
    Cost Elements will be linked to Value Categories. Based on that, costs will be calculated for the PM Order. Cost element creation is based on Business Requirements. For Example, if you want to see the Material Cost (without considering whether internal or external), one cost element will be defined. If you want to see the same separately, 2 different cost elements should be defined. This is apllicable for labor category as well (Internal or External).
    In turn, based on cost element assignment under Allocation Structures, settlement will be done on those cost elements. In Allocation structures, Source cost elements & Settlement cost elements will be defined. Based on that, while doing order settlement, costs will be posted to concern cost elements from cost objects (Orders).

  • BPS Retraction for Cost Center Accounting - Cost Element - Compounding with

    Hello everybody,
    I'm using the "BPS Retraction for Cost Center Accounting" described in the blog from Praveen Mayalur. I have customized the BPS system  (3.5) as described.
    But if i started the retraction i receive a dump. I have debug a little bit and i found out that there is a problem with the InfoObject "Cost Element". It is compounding with two InfoObjects "Source system ID" and "Controlling area".
    PERFORM FILL_RSRDEP USING I_AREA
                              I_CHANM
                              ITO_CHADEP
                        CHANGING LT_RSRDEP
                                 L_SUBRC.
    IF L_SUBRC NE 0.
    *Abhängige Merkmale müssen in der ITO_CHADEP stehen
      MESSAGE X099(UPC).
    ENDIF.
    Does anybody have this problem before. ?
    Regards Detlev

    Hi,
    it looks that your 0COSTELEMNT has been changed and the additional compounding object 0SOURSYSTEM has bben added. In BI Content it is only compounded to 0CO_AREA. So may be this is the problem.
    To be sure that it works you must make the change in your source system to and "compound" 0COSTCENTER to 0SOURSYSTEM. Or you have to chabge the retraction that way that it ignores the source system and only reads 0CO_AREA and costcenter.

  • Default GL account (cost element) for external service contracts

    Hi everybody,
    question about GL being defaulted from contract for external services
    The requirement is to have GL (cost element) being defined per service sub item defaulting to work order. Account assignment is unknown,  because the costs might be settled later to cost center or AFE or else.
    You could default cost element either through material group (which doesn't enable cost element to contract) or with account assignment category 'K' or 'F'  which do not suit, cause the former requires cost center, that is unknown yet, whereas the latter requires assignment to order which doesn't make sense at all.  Theoretically, it could be done with acc assignment cat 'U' , but cost element is not enabled with that category..
    I was assuming that cost center which you are required to enter along with cost element while creating service sub item referring to some sort of internal accounting. The system also requires service sub item acc assignment category being aligned with requisition (which is 'F') and would in fact create PR referrencing actual work order number. But still, doesn't it make sense having contract referencing another order.. Also, we don't use default values for PM ext operation data.
    So, the question is how to accomplish the requirement with Unknown assignment category? what is the point of defining cost center in the contract in given circumstances? Is there any work around exists?
    Thanks in advance
    Sergey

    Hi,
    Try this: IMG -> Plant Maintenance and Customer Service -> Maintenance and Service Processing -> Maintenance and Service Orders -> Functions and Settings for Order Types -> Create Default Value Profiles for External Procurement.
    After that assign it to order type: Default Values for Task List Data and Profile Assignments.

  • GL Accounts -- Cost element -- activities

    The cost elements are linked to activities and GL accounts are mapped to cost elements. Is there any cube give us GL account mappings to cost elements that are linked to activities.
    Good answers -- assured points.
    REgards,
    Maninder.

    There are a couple of options. First you could create a multi provider and link the cost element to the GL account. Second you could create an info set and link cost element to GL account.
    pls assign points to say thanks.

  • Tables for g/l account, cost element and cost grouping

    Hi Experts,
    I am finding for a table which has g/l account against cost element.
    Finally, I need to find their relevant cost grouping so that I know which g/l account is relevant to the cost group.
    Which table can I find for these information?
    Please help!

    The Link between GL & Cost element is not required because GL Account No  = Cost element No

  • Which PnL GL Accounts should have cost elements created for??

    Dear Sap FICO Experts,
    I am confused that which profit and loss GL Accounts should have cost elements created.
    Some suggested that Price Differences, Cost of Goods Sold, Revaluation of inventory and change in WIP GL Accounts should not  have Cost elements created, and some have the other opinions. Kindly let me know the reason if you suggest that for particular accounts, cost elements should be created.
    Best Regards.

    Hi
    As per my knowledge not all P&L accounts are created as cost elements.
    All expenses realted GL accoutns are created as cost element category 01
    All revenue related GL accounts are created as cost element category 11
    Al sales deductions related GL accounts are created  as cost element category 12.
    The above given are some of the categories of cost elements we can create in SAP.

  • Cost element creation

    Hi all,
    I'm exploring ways to create cost elements with batch input.
    In fact I need to generate cost element with category 90.
    Standard CO-settings (OKB2) are made to define a range of cost elements, but it doesn't let me define a range for statistical balance sheet account cost elements, the systems only accepts individual values. OSS note 890228 seems to confirm that OKB2 is not recommended to create cost elements of category 90.
    Because I need to generate a mass of cost elements of this category, I'm looking for another transaction.
    Thanks for your reply.

  • Capitalization of an investment order/project - Original cost elements

    Hi all,
    I do have a question concerning the capitalization of an investment order/investment project onto an asset under construction (AuC).
    I have configured the system in a way, using capitalization key and capitalization versions, that I can capitalize 100 % of the costs within the IFRS depreciation area to the AuC and 0 % of the costs within my local gaap depreciation area to the AuC.
    Instead of capitalizing the costs within the local gaap depreciation area, the cost are booked to the u201CAccount for capitalization differences/nonoperating expensesu201D.
    With the settlement of the investment order/investment project to the AuC the original cost accounts/cost elements (shared between IFRS and local gaap) are credited and the AuC is debited for the IFRS deprecation area and the u201CAccount for capitalization differences/nonoperating expensesu201D is debited for the local gaap depreciation area.
    My problem is, that I do not want to have the costs for my local gaap P&L on the u201CAccount for capitalization differences/nonoperating expensesu201D, I do want to have them instead on the corresponding local gaap cost accounts/cost elements to  the original shared cost accounts/cost elements within FI and CO. 
    Is there any possibility to do this within SAP Standard?
    (If possible the solution should also work within New GL, using multiple ledgers for parallel accounting instead of different account)
    Thank you!
    Regards

    Hi Prad,
    I am on 4.6C/D.
    Please check on your settings for Capitalization of AUCs created through Investment Support Measures: -
    1. Go to the IMG, Asset Accounting under Special Valuation and determine the Depreciation Areas you would like your Investment Support Measures to post to.
    2. Still in Special Valuation, define an Investment Support Key and assign it to the relevant depreciation area
    3. Also, define the relevant account determination for such posting under the Special Valuation
    4. Proceed in the same area to define the Transaction type for the Investment Support Measure by changing any of the Standard ones in there in line with your requirements
    5. Now move back to IMG, Asset Accounting then Master Data. Here you go to the screen layout and pick the relevant asset class for AUCs. Get this logical feild group and pick on the item Investment Support. Proceed to define its feild group rule as optional at the required asset maintenance level (Main Asset and/or Sub Level)
    6. Leave the IMG and access the relevant AUC's Master Data from the User Menu. Click the tab Investment Support and insert the Investment Support Key you created in note 2 above
    7. Now capitalise the AUC. Should work
