Variance charged to cost center

There is a difference between GR & IR.
The difference got posted to Price variance Account
How does system know which cost center should this variance be charged as there must have more than one consumption for this material?

Hello Sudha,
If you are talking of the variances arising out of the production activities in a production order or a product cost collector then I could not understand what you really mean by department wise variances. The nine categories of variances like the input price variance, scrap variance, remaining variance, output variances etc. can not be ever classified into departments. At the most you can settle the variances to COPA capturing the data in different value fields but in case you want to settle it to cost center the answer is NO.
However, if you are looking at variances on the external materials then if you want you can define different GL accounts and cost elements for each valuation class and assign the cost elements to cost centers.

Problem with Free of Charge Sale Returns against Cost Center

Dear All,
The problem is related to Free Sales which is as follows -
I have issued free of charge against Cost Center & now I want to know whether any process is there or configurations can be done to return the free of charge issued goods along with the cost center. As in the order in header level while doing return the cost center is not getting reflected.Again in the outbound delivery creation mode also at the item detail level under the "Financial Processing" tab the cost center field is present but it is greyed out/ inactive.
Please suggest what are the configurations needed to create returns of the Free Of Charge goods against Cost Center.
Looking forward to early replies.
Thanks & Regards
Priyanka Mitra

Hello Mr. Lakshmipathi,
First of all thanks for your help.As per your suggestion I have maintained the Cost Center against the Order Reason in OVF3 and it is getting reflected in the Sales Order but whenever I am keeping the field of Cost Center blank in OVF3 the "Cost Center " is remaining inactive & not even displayed in Sales Order.Instead the system is asking for WBS element.
Now I want to know is there any configuration possible so that the Cost Center field will be reflected in either Sales or Delivery Order as blank space & not greyed out which will be filled up manually.
Plesae suggest.
Thanks & Regards

So Merchandise Depart would like to have extra charge on there extra work.

Commitment code---cost center and gl

There is a issue regarding budgeting.
we have some option that we are considering. pls give some views on it
option 1 whenever we put a cost center while making any posting ,system picks up a commitment code and then budget gets allocated. but here same commitment code gets selected for same cost center but different expenses in same cost center.
cost center is a/c              commitment code is       cc1    (g/l 1 repairs)
cost center is a/c              commitment ocde is       cc2    (g/l 2 salary )
option 2. we have a GL bank charges and cost center then based on this combination of gl and cost center a specific commitment code    a/c-b.charges get filled in commitment field.
if we have another cost center (IT) and same GL bank charges then based on this second combination another commitment code gets selected     IT-b.charges
so    for cost center 1              if there are 30 commitment codes
then for cost center 2              there will be another 30 commitment codes
so we have 60 cost centers then in all we will have 1800 commitment codes.
we want a way in which less commitment codes are opened yet we are able to achieve what we are getting in second option.

Hi
U r using Fund management , In Fund Manageemnt there are derivation rule. u create a GL account in FS00 , suppose Stationry expenses.the Same Account u created in fund management called commitemtn item.Suppose statioanry expenses.
in fund management u are also create fun center
u crerate aderivation rule, in derivation rule u assign :-
Cost center = GL Accounts
Cost Center=Comitment item=GL accounts
Fund center= Asset account
if any query feel free ask me

How to settle qty to material and costs to cost center?

Hi,
We have a requirement to settle the quantity part of the production order to a non-valuated material and the costs part of the production order to a cost center.
Our question is as follows :-
1) During GR to inventory will the production order's costs balance remain as it is (since the material is a non-valuated material) so that it can be settled to a cost center (as a variance) during settlement? We expect only the quantity to be updated in the material master and not the costs during GR.
If the above does not work then in plan B, we can still use a valuated material and set the standard price to zero so that the full order balance will still remain in the production order so that we can settle it as a variance to a cost center.

in Standard SAP the cost and the quantity will be updated in the material master while making GR.

Cost center variances

Hi All,
Could you please help me in finding out
- below problem is for settling cost center variances (KSS1) and not regarding production order variance.
1) Where is target cost version (used for cost center variances) assigned in the controlling version '0'.
I could not find any option for mentioning target cost version in controlling version '0'.
2) How are cost center variances allocated to CO-PA.
If they are done through assessment, where is the settings for assigning value fields for each variance category.
3) Is there any CO posting done by system during cost center variance calculation (or) is it just classification of cost center balance into variances and no postings in CO?
Thanks in advance for the time and help.
Regards,
DSK

Hello DSK
1) There is no target cost version for cost center. The amount left in cost center is not called as variances but as under/over absorption. This is the difference between actual costs posted in the cost center and the costs actually charged to production orders.
2) The variances can be taken to COPA through COPA assessment cycle where you enter the cost center as sender and the respective value fields as receiver. The variance category refers to production variance categories and to cost center.
3) There is no such thing as cost center variance calculation and no entry for this as such.
Refer help.sap for more details.

Cost center valorization for free of charge item

During sales order entry I need to have some
- standard item that have to be invoiced to the customer
- free of charge items; these items have not to be invoiced and for them I need to value a specific cost center ( for the standard price stored in material master data).
I know there is a customizig setting I can use to manage the relationship between the order reason and the cost center but this value is valid at header level (VBAK-KOSTL) while I don't know how I can set different cost center at item level (VBAP-KOSTL).
Thank you in advance,
Alessandro

Hi,
in NewGL I am sure that its not possible as there is no accounting document created (which contains the PRCTR information as well) if the revenue is zero.
And I am pretty sure that its not possible too in old PCA (Ledger 8A).
CO-PA docs. can be created for free of charge items (otherwise the cost of these items are missing in costing-based CO-PA).

Material cost charge to Production Order from Cost Center / Work Center.

In Production Order Environment, is it possible that goods are issued from Storage location to Cost Center / Work Center, and in turn charged to Production Orders.
Scenario. Transformer Manufacturing.
Production Order size : 100 Units
Steel (Kgs) per Transformer : 3 Kgs
Total Steel required for Production Order: 300 Kgs (100x3)
In the process of manufacturing of a Transformer Steel or Core winding is the first process step.
Even though the Steel required for above said Production Order is 300 Kgs, the minimum issuable lot size from stores is 2000 Kgs.
Is it possible in SAP ECC 6.0 that the Steel of 2000 Kgs is issued to a Cost Center / Work Center, and later charged to production order based on actual Consumption in the said Cost Center / Work Center.
Regards, Replies and Sugestions shall be appreciated
Madhu

Thank you for the reply,
However, the scenario that i had in mind was a bit different from what you had conceptualized.
Scenario - These transformers are basically for loading on to Inverters & UPS, The max weight of the transformer range from 15-30 Kgs. and they dont have an external casing of steel as seen on Indian Electricity Board transformers. Multiple production orders are processed at a single time in the Plant as per Customer specifications.
The general process followed for manufacture is as follows:
1. Core Winding u2013 This process takes place in the core winding department. Steel reels are loaded on to Winders and individual cores of approx 5 u2013 30 Cm Diameter are produced. (Multiple reels of Steel are stacked one on top of the other onto a pallet.) Usually issue of steel from stores happens pallet wise. The pallets of steel generally weigh in excess of 2 tons.
In the present situation (Non SAP Environment) the entire pallet of Steel is issued to the Core winding department and later the Output is charged to multiple Production Orders, based on the records of the Core winding dept. Since in general the steel content in the FG ranges from 3- 25 Kgs multiple Production Orders can be catered to from one Pallet of Steel.
2. Core Laithing. The wound cores are laithed so as to make the sides smooth.
3. Core Annealing u2013 Heat treatment process.
4. Core Insulation. u2013 Insulation of the annealed cores with insulating material.
5. Primary Winding. u2013 Copper is wound as per the BOM Specification. The issue like that of Steel also arises in the Copper winding process. Here also the Cooper comes in Spools which far exceed the requirement for any Production Order. The minimum issueable lot for Copper from Stores is one Spool. The current practice followed is that the Cooper is taken in the name of the Copper winding department and later charged to individual Production Orders.
6. Primary Soldering.
7. Mid Insulation.
8. Secondary Winding
9. Secondary Soldering
10. Shielding
11. Final Insulation u2013 Same issue with insulation too, since the insulating material comes in rolls.
12. Testing.
13. Potting & Drilling - Process of pouring a chemical compound in the center of the transformer, which helps the transformer to later be loaded on an Inverter. The same issue with like of Steel, Copper & Insulation arises here too, since the chemical compound comes in big containers capable of meeting production requirement for a week.
14. Packing
15. Transfer to FG Inventory.
One of the suggestions was to issue the entire 2000 Kgs to the Production Order and then return 1700 kgs after completion of the Production Order based on actual usage. However, in my opinion this option might not be practicable because, assuming that I get another / multiple Production orders in between the issue of 2000 Kgs and return of 1700 Kgs, issue to the new Production order will not be possible if the stock in stores was only 2000 Kgs initially. In case assuming that the material is available in stores for the next production order, the situation could worsen in case of receipt of multiple production orders.
Hope, I have explained the scenario & issue being faced.

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.

How to maintain default cost center at House Bank Account level for Bank charges

Hello All - We have 4 Bank accounts and all of them are assigned to the same transaction type.
As of now, we have OKB9 set up maintained for Bank charges at Co Cd level and it is posted to the same GL A/c.
Now, My requirement is that I need to have different Cost center maintained for 2 of the 4 House Bank Accounts.
Can you pls let me know if any possibility.
Thanks

Interesting requirement. This can be achieved through Search String as suggested by Mr. Shanid.
Try to find a text in the note to payee line for bank charges for creating a search string.
For Example. See below note to payee line and assume this line for bank charges.
16,455,130155,0,5/3 BANKCARD SYS CH,,5/3 BANKCARD SYS CHARGBACKS.
Identify a text which should always come with this line for every EBS file for bank charges. Assume here "BANKCARD".
Now go to T-code OTPM.
Click on create
Srch strg name: Bank Charges
Description: Bank Charges
Search String: BANKCARD ( Based on this text system will search your not to payee line)
Once you press enter, you will get mapping details on the left side with target field "BANKCARD". Now remove the BANKCARD from target field and put there cost center which you will post for one house bank. Save the data.
Now move to second step.
Click on Search String Use.
Put your company code,
House bank(mandatroy in your case).
Interpretation Algorithm( same as you maintained in OT83 for posting rule with external transaction type).
Search String: BANKCARD.
Target Field: Cost Center.
Save.
Sorry I am not getting option to attach screenshot in SCN now. Dont know why.
Let us know if you have any doubts.
Hi Mr. Shanid,
Correct me if I am wrong.

Mohammed

Charging Porposnate dep to the cost centes based on the Interval Assigned

Hi,
I have scenario were asste is being transferred from one cost center to another and depreciation needs to be charged on proposnate basis between the old and new cost center.
I have changed the interval in the aaset master (T-Code AS02) for transfer, but when I am posting depreciation system is chaging 100% dep. to new cost center irrespective of the date of changes.
Regads,
AB

Hi,
I tested it, made some research and found note 29947:
When posting depreciation with RABUCH00, with account assignment to cost
center, depreciation is always posted to the cost center assigned at the
end of the posting period in which depreciation is being posted.
Depreciation is not distributed for a proportionate period of time (by
date) to the time-dependent cost centers assigned in table ANLZ.
This note speaks about RABUCH00 but is is release independend and still valid.
Have you made another experience?
( Time independent organization unit is not relevant in that case)
regards
Bernhard

Alos completed OVF3 (Cost center determination).
now the issue is when am checking the cost center in accounting doc after PGI for the new material( new division) is not determined.
where as when am doing PGI for old material ( other division), cost center is determing.
Kindly advise what setting might be missing?
Serched in goolge but could not find the relavant answer.
thanks,
Srinu.

This is purely FI related issue and you can very well pass on this issue to FI team. You can also go through the following note for more information.

S_ALR_87013611 - Cost center: Actual/Plan/Variance selection report - outpu

Hello all,
when running the report,it can be seen in SAP screen by cost groups and by cost elements.
The problem is that when user tries to save report in local file, then it is not able to see cost center distribution. User can only see cost elements amounts.
is there a way we can save on a local file cost groups as well?
Thanks in advance for letting me know

Hi,
Look for data source 0CO_OM_CCA_1 ( Cost Centers: Costs and Allocations ) ..it will give you the plan / actual /commitment amounts & qty.
Link is http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8d/1f383fe58d5900e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
