Unlock Cost center in BPS application

Hello Friends,
I have one requirement to unllock two cost center hierarchy nodes in BPS application. Please see below details:
1)Remove the existing CSC Data Slice (lock) using transaction BPS0 in PB1
2)Create new Data Slices for every sub-node under the CSC node of the Cost Center hierarchy except for the divisions below
3)Ensure Budget data (B01) has been copied to the required forecast version for the CSC cost centers in question.
Can anyone help me out with steps?
Thanks,
Sri.

Hello Sri,
I suggest to use an exit variable in the data slice. This lets you adjust the slice dynamically.

Blocked cost center in PO

Hello , a PO has been created. It is impossible to do goods receipt on the PO since the cost center is blocked(and should be deleted). We are unable to modify the PO since the cost center in also present in the SC. how should we tackle this?

check with business team the possibilities of unlock cost center and do good receipt.
or
change the cost center in the Purchase order and do good receipt.
if you were already Invoice done for this PO, you must cancell the invoice to change the cost center in the PO.

Cost center planning in BW-BPS 3.5 ?!

We did not manage to find any planning areas (applications) for cost center planning (the former SEM-BPS 4CCP0001) and the simplified resource planning (the former SEM-BPS 4RES0010) on BW-BPS 3.5.
Using BPS_TRANS we can not see in client 000 any planning areas, sequences and folders relevant to these planning applications. The same applies for BPS0.
We have several questions about this:
1. Are the SEM 3.5 planning applications (or equivalent) delivered with BW 3.5 BPS?
2. How we can enable/get them on our system? Do we need to install the SEM-BPS 4.0 addon on top of BW 3.5?
Thank you,
Narcis

Thank you for the answer. For lazy people here is your answer from the implementation forum.
-- by Inga Wiele -
1. In order to get the SEM-BPS planning applications you need to install the SEM 4.0 Add-On. As SAP SEM is a part of mySAP ERP it is currently in Ramp-Up and not generally available.
However, SEM 4.0 includes the planning applications Financial Statement Planning, Profitability Planning, Cost Center Planning, Simplified Resource Planning, Investment Planning, Sales Planning and Personnel Cost Planning.
There is a how-to paper on the SAP Service Marketplace which describes the activation of SEM-BPS planning applications.
http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700004423522001E/INSTALL_PL_APPS30B.PPT
Besides the SEM-BPS planning applications SAP delivers planning applications in the area of CRM, Retail and PLM with the BI Content Add-On 3.51.
2. There are no plans to make the SEM-BPS planning applications available with SAP BW 3.5.
3. You don't need to upgrade to SAP BW 3.5 in order to get the SEM-BPS planning applications.
However the BI Content Add-On 3.51 includes new features for the planning applications of CRM, Retail and PLM.

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.

BPS : Problem in retracting 0QUANTITY in cost center planning.

Hi folks,
I tried the standard retractor for retracting the Cost Center plan data from BI to ECC. I followed the blogs "BPS Retraction for Cost Center Accounting - I&II (Primary Cost & Qty)" by Praveen Mayalur and made the settings accordingly.
I am having problems in retracting the 'quantity' to ECC and hence I tried the following scenarios and got different results.
Scenario 1:
In the level, if I select Keyfigures "Amount" and "Quantity" --
When I execute the function, the system does not pick up any data. The message given by the system is "0 data records were read, 0 of them changed, 0 generated"
Scenario 2:
In the level, if I select only Keyfigure "Amount" --
When I execute the function, the system does the retraction without error and with the message - "Retraction: Update completed without errors. No. of records: 4. 4 data records were read, 0 of them changed, 0 generated".
I am able to see the amounts in ECC also.
Scenario 3:
In the level, if I select only Keyfigure "Quantity" --
When I execute the function, the system gives the message -"Retraction: Update completed without errors. No. of records: 3. 3 data records were read, 0 of them changed, 0 generated".
But I am not able to see the quantities in ECC.
If anybody has worked on quantity retraction, kindly guide me through the settings.
Regards,
Mike

Hi,
Did you check the below point when you define sender structure?
Make sure to pass the Unit of Measure when passing the Quantity else retractor wont update the Quantity in R/3. (Either you can map the field or maintain constant in the sender structure)

BPS Copy plan data from one cost center to another using vairables

Hi experts,
I am trying to copy the planning data from one cost center to another in BPS.
I have just done it using a copy function and in the parameter group entering the costs centers for source and destinations.
What I am trying now it is to let the user select what this destination cost center could be.
I don`t know if this can be done using a variable. What I am thinking is; when the user enters executes the parameter group a pop-up appear that let him select the cost center for the destination.
May be this is not possible. Can you suggest me other ways of doing this?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
u can achieve this by creating a variable with the replacement type as 'User Defined Values'. You also need to enable the check box 'Input Allowed by user'. And at the planning level, in the 'Selection' tab, you should map the charecteristic (Cost Center) with the created variable. Same thing should be done at the planning package level.
Then, when you execute the parameter group, a pop-up comes asking for the value of the costcenter.

Cost center retraction from BPS to R/3

Hi All,
I am trying to build a prototype model to check the functionality of cost center planning between SEM and R/3. We are trying to substitute the planning process from R/3 to BW.
I am using standard cost center cube 0cca_c11 and switching between basic and transactional cubes. I have created planning function and set all the retraction parameters..
BUSI I_BUSI
CASE I_CASE
DELTA DEL_BOOK
MAPP KCD_REPID
RFC_DEST RFCDEST
TEST TEST_X
ZARE I_COAR
ZELM I_CELM
ZTYP I_CTYP
In the parameter group i have set the delta process
Retr. R/3 Comp. 6
Retractor Control 4
Delta Update 0
Sender str. Initially blank and later ZCOSTPLAN1
Destination XXXXX
Test 0 (Update)
Controlling Area 01
Cost Element 02
CElem Category 03
When i executed the parameter group initially with no sender structure, i get a log message that x records were read, 0 changed and 0generated.
I created sender structure assigning UPB_RET_COPS as retraction target and referring the dictionary structure UPB_RET_COPS. When i tried to execute i keep getting error messages, i keep getting error message mapping could not be executed, sender structure not suitable for planning
area defined.
I am new to SEM and i would like to have some feedback. Do i need a sender structure if i would not like to do manipulation during extraction or if i need to have a sender structure how i should create my structure and make the values updated in R/3.
Without the sender structure assigned i get success messages in the log ie 12 read 0 changed and 0 generated. With sender structure assigned i keep getting error messages.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks

Sorry, I missed to add a my observation that when execute the Planning function with some values in selection of either CRM element or WBS element, it is running fine. However when both are left balnk in the selections it is giving me this error. To handle this case, do we need any thing to transfer characteristics with unassigned values '#' ?

Cost Center and G/L account search help not working

Hi Gurus,
I am facing a problem with the search help button for cost assignment in Shop screen.
When I press the search button for cost center, there is no new screen coming up asking me the search criteria to be given as input. Same is the problem when I search for G/L accounts.
I have defined the backend RFC user as dialog user and also defined the RFC(dialog) in the SRM system for the backend RFC.
My user id has authorization object M_BBP_SHLP in my profile.
What may be the reason for this issue?
Note: I am currently using SRM5.0 system with backend R/3 4.7 version. This SRM system is already connected to another backend system ECC6.0, and the search help is working fine for those users.
Pls. guide me on how to resolve this issue.
Regds,
Ancy

Hi Ancy,
Don't give wild search. Give some words following with * like "UK*" lists all the UK Cost centers. For the G/L accounts: G/L Accounts will get updated in the SC automatically depend upon the product category what you have selected.
Check the configuration Cross Application Basic settings->Account Assignment ->Define G/L Account for the product category.
If you have maintained the configuration for the paritcular G/L Account and Product cateogyr then when G/L Account is updated automatically in the SC (Depend upon this configuration)
Kind Regards

Cost Center Error Message in Posting a Billing Document to Accounting

Hi Experts,
I am in process of testing my form enhancement for Billing Documents especially Debit Note and Credit Notes. However, when I post my Billing Documents in VF02, this status message appears:
"Field Cost Ctr is a required field for G/L account 2100 855020".
Now I already checked the configuration in FS00, VKOA and we want the cost center field filled-up in the process but automatically. Do I missed some of my configuration to maintain also the Cost Center? What transaction code should I check and maintain the Cost Center for this scenario.
Thanks a lot for your answers.

Here is the Entire Error Message:
Field Cost Ctr is a required field for G/L account 2100 855020
Message no. F5808
Diagnosis
The value for field "Cost Ctr" in the interface to Financial Accounting is an initial value but you are required to make an entry in the field selection for G/L account "855020" in company code "2100" linked to the field selection for posting key "50".

Combination of GL A/c & Cost Center or GL A/c & Profit Center Validation

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me a way to validate the combination of GL Account and Cost Center or combination of GL Account and Profit Center?
Is there a master table wherein I can validate this particular combination??
Thanks and Regards,
Arti Dohare

Hi
I think there is no master tables in the configuration for this particular links
Cost center -GL
and Profit center -GL account
You can find this combinartion of data in most of the Transaction tables
for example for a PO you will get GL account and Cost center in EKKN table
For each application doc account assignment tables you will find them
see the other master tables for them
Cost center - CSKS
Profit center - CEPC
GL account - SKA1

CATS Time Entry - Charging time to a different cost center

We are looking at using CATS for time entry for our salaried non-exempt employees. Some of these employees charge their overtime to a different cost center. For example, normally their overtime is charged to their own cost center but periodically they help another group and need to charge the overtime to the other group's cost center. In the CATS profile where you select the fields you want to be available for input, display, etc., I see cost center as an option. However, when I select it as a field for input, it does not appear on the timesheet. I see there are other cost center fields (receiver cost center, sender cost center) but I thought these had more to do with work orders (not sure of that, though) and work orders are not used for this group of people. Currently, the time is being charged to an alternate cost center when the time administrator enters the overtime via PA30 and then selects the 'Cost assignment' button to record the appropriate cost center. I would appreciate any information/guidance you can provide. Thank you.

Hi Kathleen,
We are trying to do the same thing so I understand exactly what you are asking. We made the sender cost center field an input field via the IMG - Cross-Applications Components> Time Sheet> Time Recording> Choose fields> - select data entry section and look for sender cost centre - field name CATSD-SKOSTL - ensure "input" is selected.
Eventhough we have been able to enter an alternative cost center with an attendance (i.e., different from the employee's cost center saved on IT0001), it is not being transferrred to HR (does not appear on attendance infotype) therefore payroll does not pick-up the cost center with the attendance hours and it is not posted to FI. Payroll continues to use the employee's home cost center.
Have you been able to get any further with this issue?
You can contact me directly if you like - 1-613-599-8600 - ext 243.
