hi,
can anybody tell me how can i change the validity period of cost centre and cost element ???
ankur

cost centre and cost element validity can be changed In KS02 AND KA02 we can click on Edit Tab - analysis period - other analysis period at the bottom.
or for the cost centre we can also change in - spro - controlling- cost centre accounting- master data- cost centres- define standard hierarchy- u will find the cost centre basic screen at the bottom
Beside the analysis time frame u will find small icon set analysis time frame where we can change.

How to change validity period of cost centre or activity type

Hi
How to change validity period for an Activity type or Cost centre?
Can we change the validity period once created?
regards
Prakash

Please note this can be done.
Go to Edit Cost Center
Goto Edit, Analysis Period.
Create a new validity period say today until 3112999
Change the data you want and save.
When you go into the CC again it will show two validity periods.

Automatic settlement to particular combination of cost centres and gl codes

HI,
A company uses Plant Maintenance for Engineering overhauls. MM is used for Engineering spares only (i.e. not for goods for resale etc).
The requirement is to set up ongoing Plant Maintenance Orders, one for each item of plant (only 600). The plan is just to leave them open, as they are only used at a simple level.
Anyway, for each PM order, the requirement will be to settle automatically, and to a particular GL code and a particular cost centre.
So, for three different works orders:-
Cost Centre -
> 333 334 335
GL code
1234----
>(X)
1235----
>(Y)
1236----
>(Z)
1) What is the best way to achieve this? I am thinking that GL code will be specified by order type (therefore I will need about 10, corresponding to the GL codes) and cost centre will be specified by Work Centre in each order.
2) How do I set up automatic settlement? Can this be at period end only or instantly when good are booked to the order by the stores.

Hi ,
For Plant Maintenance with FICO , you need Settlement rule & settlement profile.　
The settlement rule determines what portions of a sender's costs are to be settled to which receiver(s).
In thesettlement profile you determine to which objects orders of this order type can settle to. You can also assign an order type to a settlement profile at a later date. You can change the settlement profile in the order.
After you create the settlement profile , you need to save the profile to particular order type.
Inside the settlement profile , you will define the control parameter of how is the way to settle included which cost center to post.
For automatic settlement , i think you need user exist - Please refer to userexit IWO10027 or COOM0003 with your abaper.
Thank you.

Cost centre report with all GL expense accounts

Hi Gurus;
Can you please give a cost centre report that gives all GL expense accounts with the correponding Cost centres or functional areas ni the next column?
Example:
Column A B C D
GL 12005 Cc 52001 Amount 100 function area 1000
That is without expanding the report gives you in total amount per requested period in the format shown.
The report should tally with Trial balance for all expense accounts.
Thanks
Lameck

Hi
Did you check the available reports in cost center accounting ?
Also check the report layout and check the desired fields.
Now you could see whether they match or not your requirement.
If not also, you could add fields from the options.
If nothing works, create a Z Report.

Change the profit centre in the cost centre master after a year

Hi All,
Could you'll please let me know whether it was possible to change the profit centre in the cost centre master and if i did what will be the implications.
Thanks and Regards,
Vandana

Refer transaction code OKEG.
You can maintain master data for cost centers, cost elements, activity
types, and business processes with time dependencies. You can make
changes at any time for any given time interval. Data storage also takes
place with a time reference. In this way, a master data record can have
multiple database records storing different information.
The smallest interval is one day. To ensure data consistency, you cannot
change each field daily. The timeframes in which you can change a field
depend on the field functions, which are fixed by the system and cannot
be changed. Master data maintenance includes an automatic check for each
field's time-based consistency, resulting in individual time-based
maintenance for each field.
The following dependencies are supported:
o   Not time-based
o   Day-based
o   Period-based
o   (Fiscal) year-based
This function provides an overview of the time dependencies of
individual master data fields during master data maintenance, along with
checks and storage of consistency timeframes. You find this information
in the "Time dependency" column.
If you use fields requiring characteristics greater than one day and
which are changed for the system lifetime of the object, the system
automatically creates a new database record for this processing
interval, and changes the time-based validity of existing records. The
change is logged in the master data record with the time reference.
However, a great number of changes in multiple timeframes will result in
a correspondingly great number of data records.
Fields which you can change freely (indicated in the DAY column) can
possess different time dependencies only if you mark them additionally
as historically relevant. This activates the time-based updating for the
records.
Object 1000 has one master data record created with a fiscal year of 12
periods and the cost center name AAAAAAAAAA. During master data
maintenance, you change the cost center name in period 5 to BBBBBBBBBB.
The system reacts with one of two options.
o   "Name" is marked as historically relevant. The existing master data
     record for periods 1 - 12 must now become three records:
     1000   01-04   AAAAAAAAAA
     1000   05      BBBBBBBBBB
     1000   06-12   AAAAAAAAAA
o   "Name" is not marked as historically relevant. The existing master
     data record remains intact, with the name changed for the entire
     existence of the record:
     1000   01-12   BBBBBBBBBB

Bad Debt By Cost Centre

Is there any business content (or combination of inforproviders) that shows me outstanding debts by customer and the cost centre that the revenue has been credited to?

Hi
Usually revenue does not get credited to a cost center in R/3 but to profitability segments, internal orders, sales orders or WBS elements. However, it may be possible to derive the cost center from the master data.
To link the outstanding value of a customer, which is a balance sheet item (and not appearing in the controlling module) to the revenue (income statement item) will prove a bit difficult. There is no standard content to link this specific scenario.
Also remember that the outstanding balance is reflected at a specific point in time and may relate to a variety of invoices, while revenue is accumulated over a period as well.

Cost centre assemment cycle

Dear all,
Question on Cost Center Assessment Cycle:
Controlling environment: only one controlling area with several company codes.
In my standard hierarchy we've got some nodes with cost centre from different company codes in the same node.
I would like to transfer cost from one node to another node via an assessment cycle.
So I activated company code in header data as selection criteria for cost center assessment cycle via Tcode KCIU.
This selection criteria will allow SAP to sort cost centre and only takes the one which will correspond to company code selected.
The sender rule is the "posted amount" and the receiver rule is the "percentage".
Once cycle has been created, I click on the check icon and the check was successful.
When I execute it, SAP warns me that "no valid sender entries were found". The message errors numbers are GA749 and GA710. And those messages correspond to FI message and not CO.
I do not understand because there are posted amounts and all cost centers exist with the good period of validity.
Do you know why? Do you have an explanation?
Is it really possible to activate some news criteria selection for cost centre assessment cycle? Or definitively not possible.
Did I forget any else customizings?
Best regards
Sovann leng

You have two directions to resolve this issue:
1- check TCODE GCA8 and check whether the new GL tables are listed or added specially the FAGLFLEXT
2- You probably need to change the From To periods in the selection parameters. Don't make the From To the same period.
Make sure the Settlement profile is configured appropriately. With a bit of trial and error concerning the GCA8 including defining a new Cycle with another segment, and it'll work.

Cost Centre Currency

Hi
We have got number of cost centres with wrong currency as part of the cost centre master data. All of them have got postings against them. Can you please tell me !
- Can I change the currency to correct currency ( I suppose, we can create another analysis period ?)
- Is it true that Company code (Controlling) currency (which is correct in this case) takes the precedent over whatever currency maintained as part of the master data?
- What impact would this error will have on the existing entries, I have checked the entries in GD13 and KSB1 reports and they all are in company code currency and seem to be ok? Am I missing something to check ??
Much appreciated.
SA
PS: I will award points irrespective of answer helps me or not as I do appreciate the effort behind any reply.

Thank you folks
Eric - Maximum awarded
Sridhar - very helpful answer
Last thing,
Does this constitute some kind of mis-statement for financial reporting, as far as I understood, as controlling are currency is correct, the object currency error wouldn't affect the reporting as my assumption is controlling will take precedent. Please do correct me if I am wrong.
Would you still advise to correct them to correct currency, by creating another analysis period or would advise to create new cost centre itself (which will be very painful)
Cheers

Cost Centre Repostiongs

Can we make repostings in CO with FI periods being closed.
Actually we are reveiwing our Cost Centre postings of the previous six months and in this process we need to make some repostings. We are currently using T code KB11n and KB61 for the same, however each time the system gives an error for the same stating that the posting periods are closed.
can we repost within Cost Centre without opening the prvious periods in FI.
The CO period for the Co Code Area are already open.

Fareed
Edited by: Fareed Dhiyan on Dec 29, 2008 12:32 PM

Dear Mr. Sreekanth
I have checked the transaction code OKP1 the posting periods for reposting costs within cost centres aer open, still it asks for opening the FI periods to post the cost centre repostings.
Do we need to check any configuration related things in the same.

Retro payroll processing for org unit cost centre changes

Dear All,
We have created some new cost centres and assigned it to relevant org units . when we run payroll , retro run is happening from the period we changed the cost center and assigned the new cost centre to the org units . please suggest a solution
regards
Tressya

Hi Tressya,
changes in IT0003 won't affect retro calculation, since you have already created result periods for retro calculation. The payroll programm will detect this and allways will repeat the retro unless you delete those results first.
Try TR PU01 during correction - then clear Earl.pers. RA date by PU03 (PA30 won't work here)
After that you hou'll have to repeat payroll run for effected employees to get new results for actual period only.

Blocking of Cost centre and activity type

Dear all,
Please tell me how to block cost centres and activity types which will no longer be used
best rgds,
Manoj

Hi,
There are two ways .
If you wish to use the cost center number for any other cost center , then you need to delete the cost center by KS04 & you need to mention the future period for which the same should deleted, normally, starting would be 1st day of next year to 31.12.9999
Keep in mind, cost center can only be deleted , if no data (Actual/Plan/reversal) is posted in it. You may do it , before starting next year's budget processing.
If you wish to just block the same , lock Actual primary/Secondary & Plan primary/Secondary in the control tab.

Deepak Kolwankar

Cost Centre Splitting

Dears
I am not very much conversant with Controlling.
Still I am supposed to do the period opening activities in Controlling.
I need a clarification on the Cost Centre Splitting.
Cost Centre 300001 is having 3 activity types : MACH001, LAB001, FIN001
In our case, there is a Split structure Z1 and there are 35 assignments to this structure.
When I go into the individual assignment, say, first assignment (defined as 10),
I see that the selection criteria is Cost element group : AB0001 (5 cost elements) & ActivityType : MACH001.
What does this imply ?
I understand that the total plan cost for the cost element group AB0001 will be allocated to the Activity type MACH001 for this Cost Centre 300001.
This cost will not be available to any other activity type in the same cost centre.
Is my understanding correct ?

Hi,
Please look into the following to know the concept of splitting:
Here I am providing the necessity and importance of splitting structure,
Expense Analysis and Splitting in Manufacturing Cost Centers
Introduction In SAP Cost center work as a cost responsibility center, where all the expenses and cost are stored and analyzed for the purpose of management decision making.
The cost could be fixed or variable in nature. The difference between variable and fixed costs can be made in various ways in product costing in CO module.
Fixed costs represent the static costs incurred by the organization, which doesn’t change on the basis on manufacturing activities, which remain constant irrespective of production activities like rent for the premises, salaries of office staff etc.
On the other hand, variable cost varies based on the level of production activities; if production activities increase then variable cost also increased like electricity consumes raw material charges etc.
However all the variable cost doesn’t vary in direct proportion by quantity of goods produced.
In this document will try to define; how the Expenses analysis and splitting of cost done in manufacturing cost centers.
From controlling prospective, fixed cost remain constant regardless of operating activities, but if these factor changes, variable cost will fluctuate.
Basically raw material costs represent variable cost, but in this document main focused will be given to distinguish fixed and variable activity cost.
The segregation between fixed and variable cost is optional and is derived from the configuration and master data configured in cost center accounting and overhead accounting.
Activity Price:
There are different methods that could be used in cost center accounting to determine the activity price. The simple way is the manually enter “Fixed” and “Variable” Activity cost (KP26).
However there are other methods used in Cost center Planning and Budgeting that automatically calculate the fixed and variable activity price.
Here the focused will be given on Planning and Budgeting activity and automatic calculation of plan activity rate in cost center.
This method aggregate planned costs by cost element and capacity by plan unit to calculate the activity price.
Activity independent costs are segregated among different activities based on Splitting Structure, while activity dependent cost directly used for the purpose of variable activity rate calculation.
Fixed Activity Cost:
In product costing all those cost, which doesn’t vary based on the activities in manufacturing cost will represent fixed cost.
In a manufacturing cost centers there may be two or more activities performed.
To calculate the activities rate, the fixed costs are distributed to various activities on the basis of Splitting Structure defined for cost center.
Variable Activity Cost:
Variable activity cost, which directly depend upon the activity type and fluctuate based on increase or decrease in manufacturing activities. In SAP variable activity cost are directly linked to the respective activity.
Activity Prices: Fixed and Variable Split
In Cost Center Accounting dividing the cost between Fixed and Variable requires appropriate split to be made in the cost entered for the activity. The process is described below:
i. Variable cost would be planned at activity level and expenses should be maintained at cost element in the manufacturing cost center by assigning activity and cost element combination.
In other word, the expenses should be planned on Activity type at the time of primary cost planning (KP06).
Then the variable activity rates are calculated on Total cost planned at Activity divided by Total number of activity planned at that cost center (i.e. capacity in KP26)
ii. Fixed cost would be planned at independent of activity type. These costs are maintained in KP06 at cost element level on manufacturing cost center.
Then the fixed costs are distributed on various activity types on the basis of Splitting structure defined at OKEW.
In Splitting Structure we define the rules, how the fixed cost will be distributed to Activities. For the purpose of this document, considering split of fixed cost on the basis of Capacity maintained in KP26.
