Value category and description for maintenance costs

Does anyone know how I can get the value category and description and tie it to our cost data coming from tables COSP & COSS?    I tried going to PMCO but there can be several entries say for labor, services and you have no way of knowing which entry belongs to what type of cost.
thanks!

Hi,
the value categories + texts are in TPIR2 + TPIR2T. Since you are working with PM, you need to set APPL = PM. And you need to set the correct controlling area. To map the cost elements (COSP, COSS are based on cost elements) to value categories you need to analyze table TPIK3.
Besides I think that the costs for PM orders are also saved to table PMCO. So reading this instead of COSP, COSS might be easier.

  • Difference between value category and cost element

    Hi I am new to SAP Pm.can anyone explain me the difference between value category and cost element and how are they linked with examples

    HI Pallavi,
    Value Category are use to devide your total cost in to diffrent elements for example Material, External Services, Internal Services etc. If you dont have any value category configured then all cost will show together.
    Cost Element are the cost collector where your cost will be booked means different cost under different Elements.
    So What you need to do You need to create one Value category Like material or any thing then you need to assign all Cost Elements which will be used to book cost related to Material or that perticular category. You can assign Cost Element directly, range or as a group to these category under SPRO.

  • Check for Maintenance Cost Budgeting

    Dear All,
    From EHP 5, there is one button in Order create/change screen called "Check for Maintenance Cost Budgeting", but couldn't find any documentation regarding it. I want to know total functionality of that button. Can anyone help me regarding this?

    From Solution Browser:
    Functionality Enhancements
    For critical, high-value maintenance orders, it is essential for the planner to check to see if enough budget provision is available for maintaining a technical object. Based on the results, the planner can request approval for the order and the cost controller can approve the work. The budget forecast is retracted from the maintenance cost budget. Actual utilization is calculated based on past orders and work in progress.

  • Why do we need separate t.codes KB11N and KB41N for reposting costs & rev?

    Hi,
    Why do we need separate t.codes KB11N and KB41N for reposting costs and revenues? I noticed that i can still use one t.code KB11N to post both costs and revenues, hence why do we need a separate t.code KB41N for revenues?

    Hi,
    The BAPI for costs allows more options than the one for revenues. For example, via BAPI_ACC_PRIMARY_COSTS_POST  you can select sender Network, what you cannot do via BAPI_ACC_REVENUES_POST. The same is for 'cost object' as a receiver; you can do it only via BAPI for costs. In other aspects, the BAPI for costs could be used to repost revenues as well.

  • Entering values in Web Services ID and Description, for External Catalog

    Hi,
    I am trying to connect to an external Vendor Catalog from ERP. Pl note that we just have ERP ECC 6.0 and no SRM. I went to SPRO and followed menu path 'Materials Management >> Purchasing >> Web Services: ID and Description'. I am not sure what to enter in 1) Seq. Number  2) Name of Parameter for Web Service and 3) Call Structure COLUMNS.
    I have URL from Vendor, User Name and Password. I need to know what values are mandatory here so I can successfully connect to external Catalog. If someone can give me sample values, I can try.
    Any help is appreciated,
    Niranjan

    Update on 08/23/2011.
    We are able to connect to Vendor Catalog, select items in Cart. When I press 'Place Order' button, I see all items populated in SAP PO ME21N screen. We can then add other information and create PO. This is working great. We have another question. Heard that with ERP ECC 6.0, we can only connect 1 vendor catalog. But with SRM, we can connect more than  1 vendor catalog. Is there a BAPI or change SAP code to connect more than 1 vendor catalog from ECC 6.0 ?

  • Title and description for lookup column

    Hopefully this can be simple.  I am working on development in SharePoint 2010 but I do NOT think that it is specific to 2013 or 2010, I am migrating to 2013 in a month or so (hopefully!)
    Requirement:
    Display lookup list for Server Name (Title) and Server Description (Description)
    Problem:
    I have a custom list with 2 columns, title and description, both text fields.  I am using that list as a lookup to my other custom list.
    The graphic below has 2 windows squished into it.  The middle window is the list pulling the data from, the lookup list.
    The graphic to the right is the issue that I am running into.  I create the column and hopefully I can use the lookup column with the title column AND THEN the additional fields for the Description!  It DOES appear, but AFTER I fill out the form. 
    The form is on the left part of the graphic below.
    I see the server names or "Title" but I can't even "hover" over it and see the description!  I don't know how to present the description lookup in the form when I do "new item."  Is this something that 2010 / 2013
    can do and OOTB or do I need designer? I don't code so I can't use VS.
    Thank you!

    Thank you, I created a calculated column, using Microsoft's recommendations below, and Scott's!
    Calculated Field Formulas -
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb862071.aspx
    The result shows below.  the 3rd column is the Server and Description, with the calculated column, "merging" the two text into one, with a space and a dash in the middle to separate them.  The list is below and the "look up".  The black section
    is my new form or add new item, where I would select multiple servers based on their server name and their description.

    Hi Vincent,
    In your query, you use CrossJoin in it. Crossjoin function will cause the performance issue if there are a lot of properties that need to be displayed. If you cross-join medium-sized or large-sized sets (e.g., sets that contain more than 100 items each),
    you can end up with a result set that contains many thousands of items—enough to seriously impair performance. For the detail information, please see:
    http://sqlmag.com/data-access/cross-join-performance
    In your MDX query, ensure only retrieval the required data. Here are some useful links for your reference.

  • Is the OS using parentalcontrolsd: RemoteService and xpcd: for Maintenance ?

    I'm trying to flush out some weird OS activity that I just started noticing on my (3) different 10.9.5 Mac platforms.
    Is the OS using parentalcontrolsd: RemoteService and xpcd: Interprocess Communication and Services to launch scan, observe, I/O messaging, maintenance and repairs on the OS ?
    This may have been going on for awhile, but I just began noticing similar and random events on my (MBP, Mini, MacPro) Console Logs that have occurred while the systems were either being used during the day, or idle overnight. Parental Controls have never been setup on any of these systems, each has only one User Account (Admin Level), all are on my in-house RFC 1918 Network via PW protected Airport Extremes. I just began observing these events, and now beginning to save the logs when they occur and just doing some research.
    Some of the events are identical across all platforms, some are different, all are at different times of the day, all launch parentalcontrolsd: (RemoteService) that conducts either a scan, access, process or observe event (FSEvent, Cache API, I/ODevice, Kernel). Most of the parentalcontrolsd: events launch a xpcd: command line of varying sorts, so I know it is activating message traffic.
    I haven't knowingly observed any of the events as they occurred yet, but just installed Snitch on all of the platforms and will start watching and logging. If anyone knows if Apple uses this method for  their automated  update and error correction, you'll save me some time wondering about this activity… After some thought if it's justified, or nefarious. I think the ARD.app, ParentalControls.app and FindMyMac.app (Location Services) have the potential of being terribly misused by a ne'er-do-well...
    Incase it turns out to be the latter, does anyone know some command line to remove the ARD.app, ParentalControls.app, FindMyMac.app without throwing kernel panics and errors in the remaining OS ?

    I thought about doing what you suggested but was worried that it might try to start setting up a new partition on the hard drive and trash my existing system. Any idea if this is a safe method to test it ?
    BTW the Snow Leopard CD came with iLife & iWork and is sold as a bundle called "Mac Box Set" it was on special and was cheaper than just iWork or iLife alone.

    Paul,
    I've heard of people doing it via IWO10018 (enhancement tab)... but not by any other method.
    So if anyone else has managed to do this another way, then I'd be very interested..
    You could use the same method in notifications (QQMA0001)
