Validation for GL Account & Cost Center combination

hi. i want to prevent gl postings to combination of gl account 123 and cost center abc. the validation created via ggb0 under financial accounting, line items looks like this:
PreReq: BSEG-KOSTL = 'abc'
Check: BSEG-HKONT = '123'
Message: "Invalid Acct/Cost Ctr combo"
but when i do f-02 for gl 123 cost center abc, the warning message doesnt appear.
any insight is much appreciated!

Hello,
I did the same in our org. change the condition of check into prerequiste and prerequisite into check then it will work and in OB28 activate the same for your company code.

Authorization issue with Company code/ Cost center combination

Hi,
I am currently trying to restrict user access by company code and cost center combination.
We have roles defined for each user and I am trying to use the standard authorization object A_S_KOSTL in this role . It seems that since it is not a 'maintianed' object no activity can be assigned to this autorization object.
currently the values are :
company Code : 1110 , 1112, 1114
Cost Center : *
i am getting sy-subrc as 0 even when i test for company code : 1110 for a user with the above role.
My code is :
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'A_S_KOSTL'
    ID 'BUKRS' FIELD '1110'.
F sy-subrc EQ 0.
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'A_S_KOSTL'
ID 'KOSTL' FIELD '*' .
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    MESSAGE 'Success with KOSTL also' TYPE 'S'.
ELSE.
      MESSAGE 'Success with BUKRS only' TYPE 'S'.
ENDIF.
ELSE.
      MESSAGE 'Failure' TYPE 'S'.
ENDIF .
I get a subrc NE 0 for the KOSTL part. The test passes for BUKRS.
Please advise on how to proceed.
Thanks and Regards
Soumya

Okay, I misread the "NE". Sorry.
Have you done a syntax check on it?
Also compare to:
AUTHORITY-CHECK <object>
ID 'KOSTL' '*'.
I cannot confess to ever have done a "full" AUTHORITY-CHECK myself, but it is most likely the same as with DUMMY -> you should not use the FIELD statement as '' value if the data element does not know what a '' is...

Error~ PR G/l Account & cost center is not appearing in PO while copying

Dear All,
I am converting PR into PO, while creating PR I have assigned account assignment cat as "K"(cost center ), so i assigned Cost center and G/L account , After this I tried to convert this into PO, but in PO again it is asking for G/L account & cost center onemore time,Earlier it wasn't .
May be some where the setting got changed but I am unable to find where exactly this setting got changed.
Please anyone could help in this.
Regards,
Nagaraj S

well thats really wiered
can u do one thing in your quality system create one PO and pleas but make sure the data in the po sholud be same as that of PR but this PO will be created without the reference of PR
i want to check if system is able to find the G/L account automatically which ideally it should find
in case the g/l is not picked automatically then in that case check the valuation class in material master and the g/l which is maintained in gbb or not and make sure the g/l is a cost element
if the g/l comes automatically then check the PO document type settings in the those 2 folder at the left poriton of screen in IMG>>olme>>POdefine document type

Budgeting on account & cost center level

Hi ALL, My company is planning to implement SAP in the near future and I'm taking the SAP course now. According to what SAP instrcutor said, budgeting cannot be done on account & cost center level. In my company, our current practice is to record all budget figures under account & cost center level and for every expense (invoice or journal) input, account & cost center would be the mandatory fields so that budgeting can be monitored in such level.
Can anyone tell me how this can be handled in SAP?

HI
DONT TRUST that type of words.
i hope that your instructer is not a real time guy.
we have to do Budgeting at cost center lavel in Cash Budget management. why because that is (Cost Centyer)Orgnisational level Responsibility Area
and item level in Funds mangement.
But for every expence you want do the budget you have to implement Funds mange ment Module.
then your item level budgeting will be solved.
Thanks & Regards

Error when changing a Company Code for a given Cost Center

Hello Friends ,
I'm trying to modify a company code value for a given cost center in KS02 and I get the below error. The error message receommends to change the analysis period ( not sure what it is..) but when I click edit > Analysis period from tool bar I still get the below message , is there way to get over come this issue ?
Thanks in advance ,
Field change Company Code is not possible (transaction data already exists)
Message no. KS134
Diagnosis
To ensure the consistency of existing data, you can only change object Company Code if no transaction data exists in the change period; that is, neither plan data nor actual data has been posted.
As transaction data already exists, it is not possible to change objects in this time period.
Procedure
If you still want to change the object, select a suitable change interval by choosing "Edit -> Analysis period...".

Thank you Vishal . I have 3 cost centers with 2 having validity period ( from 01/01/1950 to 12/31/9999) and third one had 2 records 12/30/2004 to 12/26/2009 and 12/27/2009 to 12/31/9999 ) for the third one it did allow to change the validty period and I could change the comapny code for my profit center . But for first 2 somehow it doesnt allow to change the validity periods. And when I run some reports against these 2 cost centers to see if there is any activity I dont see any data .
Could you please give your ideas ?
Thanks alot .

Best praxis for determining a cost center for an HR org unit in PPM ?

Hello all.
We have defined the HR Org structure directly in PPM backend. Later the intention is that an interface should transfer this data from HR.
The HR orgstructure defined works fine for the staffing process (with "resource manager via responsible organization").
We have however run into some problems with the MLC & costing part. The intention is to use manual MLC linking tasks/phases to PS WBS-elements (task based controlling).
If we leave the org unit field blank in the cProject project project definition we run into the message "No account assignment exists for the project defintion - no costing" and the systems rolls back from the assignment made.
If we however assign an orgunit in the project defintion we instead get the message "No cost center could be determined for org unit 123...".
<u>We therefore need to be able to determine a cost center for the Org Unit assigned to be able to proceed. How is this then best done?</u>
There is a master cost center assigned to the orgunit in HR but not in PPM backend where this option does not seem to be available.
With task based controlling the cost center does not really matter so it could possibly be hardcoded via a BADI (?) but is this really the way this should be done?
Any suggestions?
Thanks / Anders

Hi and thanks for the reply.
We will test with an ALE replicated structure so that the object ID becomes the same in the two systems as soon as possible.
Pending that we will try the BADI option. Here I am however not sure what it is we really expect the BADI to do. Which field should be populated with the cost center (the fields available are mainly project characteristics)?
I also eventually found some information regarding this in the PPM 4.0 help. I enclose info regarding this below.
a) http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ppm400/helpdata/en/index.htm
b) choose Collaboration projects>Accounting Integration>General Information about Accounting integration>Derivation of Organizational data.
As I read this the system derives this as follows in case of task-based or role-based costing with no resource assignment:
1) Look for the two BADIs mentioned to derive the cost center
2) If no result there it looks for an org unit in the cProject header (where I assume having the Org Unit with the same Object ID in backend and ERP enables this option)
3) If no result there the system looks for a "requesting cost center" in the account assignment object (WBS element or internal order)

Block Postings to specific account/profit center combinations

How do I set rules or controls to prohibit manual postings to specific account/profit center combinations? I want to emphasize that I am not not just interested in blocking postings to an account, it has to be the unique combination of account and profit center which is prohibited.
Thank you,
Mark Galla

Hi,
Use OB28...
Set the prerequisite as BKPF-Tcode : FB01...( any transaction used for manual posting)
and BSEG-BUKRS <> the company code
Then in the Check button
BSEG-PRCTR = prctr ( first create a set id using GS01 with this name there give all the profit center which you want to block.
Third is as usual give the message type as Error.
Thats it...
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.

Do you mean that you want to read the cost centre group hierarchy for a cost centre? So that instead of entering a cost centre group and reading down the hierarachy until you get to the cost centre codes at the bottom, you want to enter a cost centre and then read up the hierarchy until you get to the cost centre group at the top of the hierarchy. If so, I don't think there is a function module to do what you want. The cost centre group hierarchy data is held in table SETNOTE, so you could have a look at that.

Validation for GL Account Long Text

Dear All,
Is it possible to maintain validation for GL Account long text.
Basically my requirement is to avoid duplication of GL accounts with same long text.
Best regards,
Inoka.

Hi,
I think you are talking about GL account name long text should not be reapeted when you are creating one more GL account.
If it is the case, It can be possible through programming. please explain the requirement to your Abaper.
Before writing program, try to create & test the validation with any expert from your side, it may be possible with some conditions (< >, =) in Validation.

Account/Cost Center Determination (OKB9) for same plant & 2 cost centers.

Hi,
I faced a weird situation My situation is i have the same plant but 2 different profit center's & 2 different cost center's . My OKB9 cost element is configured through "Plant/Valuation Area (1)".
Previously when ever we used this "Plant/valuation Area" determination we used to give plant and corresponding cost center and left other fields like Business Area, Order and profit center blank. see below thing for clear idea
Plant A - Cost Center A
Plant B - Cost Center B
Now with this weird situation, i am not sure whether we can configure OKB9 as below
Plant A - Cost Center A - Profit Center A
Plant A - Cost Center B - Profit Center B
If we can do as above, will their be any implications.
could anyone help me out of this situation.
Thanks
Shriya

HI
