Time booking - costs going against a wrong Cost center

Hi All,
Please help...
A person has been assigned to a Cost center, yet when booking time on CATS, the system pulls through and charges against a wrong cost center.
Initially I thot it was the network activity pulling thru the cost center, but that is not the case.
Where can I look to see why it reflects and chages the wrong cost center?
Thanks..
Regards,
Una

Hi,
Check the Organizational assignment infotype for that person in PA30 transaction or ask your HR consultant to check the assignment for the employee. This should solve your issue.
In case this does not solve the issue please explain the issue in detail viz., the time booking process you follow etc..
Best Regards,
Gokul

Time dependent cost center hierarchy

Does anyone know how to turn the R/3 standard cost center hierarchy into a time dependent hierarchy?
I can change the hierarchy of infoObject 0costcenter to be time dependent. The datasource 0COSTCENTER_0101_HIER does not fill the validfrom validto fields.
I would prefer not to have to load the hierarchy from a flat file.
Thanks,
John

Any changes to the R/3 standard hierarchy are stored in tables CDHDDR,CDPOS. This can be seen from tcode OKEON ==>selected cost center==>History==>Change Document==>Standard hierarchy Area. This screen shows the validity of a cost center as it pertains to a node.

Booking cost center to Asset

Hi ,
we are buying with Asset (A) and Cost center in PO
During year end and month end activity, is it possible to transfer part of amount booked from Asset to Cost center and From cost center to Asset. For Example, if we booked 100$ for Asset, is it possible to keep 70$ for asset and transfer 30$ to another cost center ?
If I purchase 1000$ for particular cost center, and i want to move 300$ to asset under construction, is it possible to book like this ?
Please confirm.

Hi,
I am rewriting my question.
we are buying with Asset (A) and Cost center account assignment in Purchase.
During year end and month end activity (Reclass), is it possible to transfer part of amount booked from Asset to Cost center. the same way is it possible to transfer From cost center to Asset. For Example, if we booked 100$ for Asset, is it possible to keep 70$ for asset and transfer 30$ to another cost center (not to differner cost center of same asset) ?
If I purchase 1000$ for particular cost center, and i want to move 300$ to asset under construction, is it possible to book like this.

Cost Center Date format Issue.

Hi,
All Experts.
I am facing one problem for Cost Center creation date.
I am working for US and Canada company code. controlling area is having 30 Group Currency. CO area is completely configured and working fine.
At the time of cost center creation when I am giving period interval 09.10.1900 to 12.31.9999 MM - DD - YYYY format.
But it is giving error as
Invalid date Message no. 00064
All Company Codes are perfect and having country US so, as I understand date format is taken from countries defined in SAP General Settings & countries for CRM and etc..
Where my configuration went wrong ?
I am wondering in Controlling Area for any settings for Date format but fail...
Does any one having idea for this ?
Expert guidance will be really really great on this.
I questioned that has SAP given a US date format for controlling or not ?
Like for Cost Center & Cost Element ... etc.
Regards,
Sharvari.
Don't cross-post: especially, not under different users

Hi
Please check the settings in OY01.
As per it, you must either use MM/DD/YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY and not MM.DD.YYYY.
Also check the "Defaults" in the user settings (T.code SU3).

Cost center catogery

why we are giving cost center catogory at the time of cost center creation. what are the impact will come due to assigning cost center category. now we have give Categary T for all cost center. now we anted to create cost center for each and every department to see indivudial expenses. for that what categary i have to give from the following and what is the use to give catergory
9     Allocation
A     Administration
G     Logistics
L     Management
M     Material
P     Production
S     Service
T     Sales

Hi Laxmi,
The master data of an activity type includes one or more cost center categories. The activity type may be used only by cost centers of the appropriate categories (for all those cost centers with that Cost Center Category)
For example, you created two Cost Centers A and B. In A's master data, Cost Center category is "P"(Production) and B's master data, Cost Center Category is "M"( Maintenance).
Now, you are creating the master data for Activity Type "labour Hr". In that master data, you need to mention the Cost Center Category. If you give "P" there, that means that Activity Type can be linked (planning in KP26) to Cost Center "A" only....
We define categories in Customizing. For each category, we can define default values for the "Lock" and "Record quantity" indicators, for transfer to cost center master data. We need to maintain these indicators only if the entry diverges from the default cost center category.
In addition, we may use the categories for reports and evaluations.
Examples
Production cost center
Service cost center
Administration cost center
Pls revert back for further explanation...

Cost Center code proposed by system

Hi Friends,
Is there any option that system propose sequential internal code at the time of cost center creation?
Now you are aware if you create cost center through KS01 you can put anything for cost center code. Do you don't think some control should be there like GL master creation?

Hi
If you are usng BW - better develop the report from there... Else, ABAP is the only solution
Note that there is no correlation between Plant & Cost center except work center... Hence, Plant as an Input parameter in a cost center report is not possible.... Thats why, people prefer to have a cost center nomenclature that reflects the Plant No as well i.e. say 1st 4 chars of a Cost center name can resemble plant

How do I change Resource Cost Center only and retain historical cost center data?

How would a Project Server Admin accommodate changes in the resource's cost center itself?
For example, Ken (timesheet submitter) records Feb time in cost center C1, but then transfers to a new team, which is in cost center C2 on Mar 1st.
When I change his cost center at the resource level, reporting indicates all of his previous C1 time as a resource under the C2 cost center, and all of his C1 time looks like it's incorrectly in C2.
I am thinking about adding custom resource fields to track these changes, but it seems like a lot of extra work, if something already exists that I can use.
Thanks,
Marty

Marty,
AFAIK, there is no way to do this OOB as Resource Fields are not 'time-phased'.
A 'possible' alternative, like you mentioned, could be be to use custom fields to track, the change (like Effective Date, Old Cost Center), and then somehow write a query to consider the old cost center between the dates. I have not tried this personally,
just a thought.

Hi,
You can look at substitutions (OBBH, OKB9, OKC9) if there is an action to replace cost centre.

Book expenses against Internal Order with reference to PO which is created against Cost Center.

Dear Users,
We have an issue, we created PO against Cost Center and now we want to book its expenses(MIR7) against internal order. So if possible suggest me any solution for this.
Thanks,
Manoj.

Hi
The only other way is to post a manual JV for such a PO where in you debit the expense account with reference to IO and credit the cost center with expense account. Now do the GRN against the PO with reference to Cost Center.
If you cannot modify the PO, unfortunately, this can be the only way out.

Booking Costs after closing Production order

Hi all,
There is a production order for which all components have been issued, plus GR done. Finally all variances were calculated and settlement completed. This is an MTO order.
Now I need to know how to book additional costs against this order for the following scenarios:
1. Time booking
2. Addition of a materials (Users forgot to add a material, but on the shop floor it was consumed)
What would be the most logical business solution for the above two situations. Do we need to reverse settlement in such a case or not?
Plus additionally I would like to know why does KKAX show WIP costs on production orders already settled and closed?
Thnks
Regards,
G. Coelho

Dear Mr.Godwin ,
Let me explain you the various stage when you add extra material/Time in a production order :
1.Good Issue aginst production order reservation completed -Status GMPS but operations are not Confirmed -CNF
2.Production Order Final Confirmation done but Final Issue Indicator not marked or Clear Reservation not marked at that time .Through MIGO you can issue the extra material if they are added in the Production Order -Componenet Overview .
All the cost will be shown as variance in Production Order -Cost anaysis -Select Costing trend -Select required field for information .
3.You can add extra hrs only in CO11N not any other Txn based on the Define Confirmation Parametre set up -OPK4 (not over or under delivery tolerence in general valid settings )
4.You can add extra material just after order is Created (CRTD), Relased(REL) at Componenet-Overview -select line itm and assing at operation with item categoery L
You can't add extra material and Time in the following state in production process :
1.Goods Issue with Final Issue Indicator -GMPS
2.Production Order Technical Complete for settlement -TECO
3.Production Order Confirmation done -CNF with clear reservation .
4.Production Order is under Settlement process duing the month end or order by order .
Best option what we follow :
1.Update the Production Order with fresh item which are physically issuesd from Store in SAP to capture in the same reservation nuber
2.Compare COO2-Dcuments Goods Movement and MB25-Open reservation for production order , which are required to issue through MIGO.
3.Perform MIGO for the fresh item which are added in the production order .
4.Follow BackFalshin of compoenent during CO11N if you have Back Falshing activated in MMR/Work Centre
5.Apply Enhancement for production order confirmation to avoid the issue .
CONFPP01            PP order conf.: Determine customer specific default values
CONFPP02            PP order conf.: Customer specific input checks 1
CONFPP03            PP order conf.: Cust. specific check after op. selection
CONFPP04            PP order conf.: Customer specific input checks 2
CONFPP05            PP order conf.: Customer specific enhancements when saving
CONFPP06            PP Order Confirmations: Actual Data Transfer
CONFPP07            Single Screen Entry: Inclusion of User-Defined Subscreens
Hope this will be usefull for your requirement

How can we capitalize the PR/PO, which are already booked in cost center?

We are creating a capital Project for our department. We have the structures ready and finalized with the budgets. But, the department has already done some commitments and expenditures in their cost center .Now, this expenditure and commitment values needs to be reflected in the report, so that correct values of assigned and available should be updated.
1) Pls. suggest a process using which we can transfer this amount. Is this to be done by an FI entry or else we need to commit using sanction request?
2) How can we capitalize the PR/PO, which are already booked in cost center?

Hi,
As we know the Contract is an Outline agreement for Quantity or Value for a particular Period with vendor.
Without mentioning Plant also we can make contract for the Purchase organisation level for particular Material for the entire period
Where as while creating PR -it is an Indent for the material requiement for the specific Plant so when you refer Agreement inthe PR creation time System will ask you how much quantity to what plant you want to place indent. where as In PO it ia an legal document so when you refer Agreement it will take all the details from Contract
i think you are clear with my points

Change to cost center in time dependent data. Can I rerun depreciation YTD?

I need to change the cost center in October (Period 10) Period 9 and prior are already closed. I thought that since I put the Interval for the new cost center as 1/1/11 that it might do and adjustment in October reversing the depreciation posted for the old cost center and put the YTD depreciation in the new cost center, but it did not. it only posted the current month depreciation to the new cost center. Is there any way to do this? Thank you very much.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I went into the ABAA screen, but I am afraid to process this transaction because I do not understand what is going to happen. I cannot find any documentation that explains this. I have already changed the cost center on the asset and run depreciation. It posted the current month depreciation to the new cost center, but it did not make a correction to the prior periods. I am not creating a new asset, i just want to reclass the prior months depreciation (in the current year) to the new cost center. In case it will help I provide some details:
Asset acquired 5/1/11 Depreciation posted to Cost Center A From May - Sept $1,796.06 per month x 5 = $8,980.30
Before posting Oct depreciation, I went to Master Data - Time Dependent - and changed the cost center as of 1/1/11. So I now have two intervals: From 1/1/1900-Cost Center A, and From 1/1/11 - Cost Center B. I then ran the regular depreciation for Oct. It posted Oct Depreciation of $1,796.06 to the new Cost Center-Cost Center B. My total YTD depreciation is now $10,776.36, but it is split between two cost centers. I need to move the depreciation from Cost Center A to Cost Center B for the prior months. If it was a Journal Entry, I would do it as follows in the month of October, so my YTD numbers would be correct.
Debit Depreciation Cost Center B $8,980.30
Credit Depreciation Cost Center A $8,980.30
Then when I run my October numbers it would show zero depreciation in Cost Center A Year To Date (and negative 8,980.30 in month of October)
If i follow the steps you propose, what would be the result? Thanks so much!

Employee cost booking other then cost center.

Hi SAP Gurus,
IN SAP HR in order to book the cost of an employee system provides us info type 0027 in which we just mention the cost center on to which we want to book the wage or travel expenses of an employee.
Right now we have a requirement that all the employees who are working on a project there cost should be book against the internal order or WBS element(Internal order are created in asset Mgmt/FI side against a project or if u use PS then WBS element are created in PS against a project and all expenses of projects are booked in internal order or WBS element ).
But in SAP HR we can book the cost of an employee only against the cost center mentioned in info type 027 is there any method through which we can directly book the cost of employee in internal order or WBS element.
Regards

Hi,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
In which field i can assign internal order or wbs element coz system only shows cost center field.

SQL tuning or a simple comprise between time and cost?

Hi,
What I understand is that SQL tuning is a simple comprise between time and cost. Objectives of SQL tuning include:
Reduce Cost
Reduce Time
Better Results
Is it right and correct?
Adith

NO, WRONG.
reducing COST is meaningless, because COST is meaningless. It's used internally by the optimizer to weigh the cost/benefits of different execution plans (access methods) for a single query. cost CANNOT be compared across queries. and if you add a hint to a sql, then it becomes a different sql (proven by looking in v$sql) so you cannot compare costs. in fact, when you provide a hint, oracle artificially lowers the cost associated with the hinted action in order to make that action look better to the optimizer, helping it to be choosen.
reduce time. reduce io. reduce memory usage. that's it.

Moving time and cost between projects

HI,
We have couple of projects that were classified incorrectly and are not getting capitalized, the client does not want to re enter the time by entering time to a new project and want us to transfer the time and cost to the correct project.
Is there any way that we can achive this?
Thanks

Hi,
You can transfer the cost and timecards from your current project to new project by using the following navigation
Expenditure Inquiry -> Query for expenditures -> Then go to Tools and select the Transfers option.
Enter the Project Number and Task number.
Transfer the expenditures to new project.
Run the Distribution process.
So cost will be distributed in new project and reversal entries will created against old project.
Thanks,
Sreenath
