WBS & Cost Element

Hi Experts,
May i know how can do the budgeting for WBS element & how WBS is link with cost element.
AR

Hi Amit Rana ,
If you use WBS as cost object. You can do budgeting baseed WBS hierarchy (T-CODE:CJ30).
You can do planning based WBS detail to cost elements(T-CODE:CJ40), but WBS budget only to WBS hierarchy.

Restriction to only cost element based planning against WBS

HI Expert,
here we need a scenario, like...user can only do cost element based planning against WBS.
He should not be allowed to enter any manula cost directly against WBS.
How to address this issue.
thanx in adv.

Ashis

Hi,
Go to CJR2 t-code select the layout 1-702 and enter the wbs, cost element, periods, year and version and execute the transaction. Then enter the values and save.

Difference betwn Cost element & G/L Account

Hi All,
I would like to know the diffrence betwn Cost element & G/L Account Number & use of both ?
Suppose while posting some Actual cost to WBS Element ,will that amount hit G/L Account or Cost Element?
Kinldy give me the answer with some Examples.
Thanks in Advance !!!

Postings in FI affect G/L account. Postings in CO are made to cost object (WBS in case of PS) against cost element.
G/L in FI has a corresponding cost element in CO.
G/L or cost element are basically used to categorise costs. For eg material cost, labour cost will have differnt G/L and cost element. So in a particular WBS, you see report cost elemnt wise to view how cost is booked under diff categories.
Search for threads in FI-CO forums, that will help you.
Just to add: When you make postings to WBS, cost element will be hit in CO and G/L in FI

Planning on WBS elements without cost elements

Hi all,
we are trying to implement the planning solution where users will be able to plan on individual WBS elements monthly but without providing a breakdown on cost elements. Standard SAP planning profiles allow to post plan values on WBS elements in annual view without cost elements. But when you want a monthly view the system you need to click on primary cost elements planning first.
Is there any way to plan monthly but at cost object (WBS) level only?
Many thanks,
Roman

Hi Eli,
thanks for your response. We will be using budget functionality for budget purposes but at the same time we will need to use planning on different versions. I believe there are no versions for budget.
One of the idea to minimize cost element planning is to introduce like a planning cost element to use with all planning postings and then include this into the same cost element group with the rest of cost elements for plan/actuals comparison reports.
If you have something in your mind I would appreciate your input.
Thank you,
Roman

Report with cost center, Wbs element and cost element

Dear Experts,
I am creating Income Statement report with report painter using table CCSS.
In this report, I need cost centers, cost elements/ GL accounts and WBS elements.
Report is okay except sales. Because my cost elements for revenue are created with the category "11", it is not showing in the report.
Please suggest what changes to make to get sales revenues in the report.
Thanks

Hi Simi
Structure CCSS of Report Painter is combination of several tables including COEP
Even your revenue should have been updated in COEP table...
May be your report's selection conditions are preventing the revenues from being displayed... Can you check that?/
Also, you can build this report from FI Structures

WBS settlement to AUC - use original cost elements?

Hello gurus
We have an allocation structure which settles project WBS costs to AUC.
The issue is that it is using a single settlement cost element for all the costs going to the AUC.
I notice there is a tick box 'by cost element' in the 'Allocation structure:settlement cost elements' entry for FXA.
What is the result of using this tick box?
We would like the original cost elements in the WBS to be credited rather than the single one.
Is this possible?
Thanks everyone

Hi
- we do not have secondary cost elements posted
- we do not use budget checking
As I said, we would like the original cost elements against the WBS to be credited. The single one is causing problems because it posts in total to 55291 (as in the configuration) which does not reconcile back to the many cost elements posted to the WBS.
Is this possible?
What is the effect of the check box 'by cost element' as we do not understand the help text on this checkbox field and are not sure if this could solve the problem (or there is a downside to using this). If this is not possible we would like to know as well.
Thanks all

How to reclass WBS via secondary cost element

Hi team,
How can I reclass WBS A to WBS B via secondary cost element A1234567? For example, For CNY (LC1), I need to input certain amt, but for USD (LC2),I have to force in zero. When I do correction via manual allocation (KB15N), only USD currency is available for input.
Appreciate your feedback.
Thanks.

Hi,
In FB01 you need to use primary cost element, secondary cost element is internal to CO. In your case since that is a rectifaction and you want to eliminate the value in one currency you would need to follow the manual process. You can use same general ledger account for debit and credit with different WBS assigned so that there is no impact in FI and the values are transferred from one WBS to another.

CJV4, WBS simulation version cost in COSS and COSP by cost element

Hi PS expert. (-:
IN PS When we freeze a simulation version with CJV4, (operative data to version), sap will create new object number in table VSCAUFV_CN for each network and VSPRPS_CN for each Wbs element related to the simulation Version.
In our environment, SAP will add record in COSS and COSP for the new object number for Network but NOT FOR THE WBS.
Is it standard to NOT record the cost in COSS and COSP for the simulation cost of the WBS (against the new object number?)
That mean we will able to see the simulation cost by cost element for network, but NOT FOR WBS element.
For the WBS, we only record the cost in RPSCO by cost category.
Is there a way to active (with an exit ..classu2026bapi) the recording of the cost of the WBS by simulation version in COSS and COSP
Thanks you very much for your help
Sophie

hi sophie,
create separate network for each wbs in project. see if this can solve your issue.

Read Cost Elements assigned to a WBS Element

Hi,
Can anyone please suggest a function module/logic to read the Cost elements assigned to a particular WBS/Project Def. in Project Systems module.
In CJ40 transaction i enter project def. and in next screen select WBS element and click on primary costs button. Now i see a list of cost elements.I want to read thse cost element list. Output of BAPI_COSTELEM_GETLIST with the Cost element Group is not matching the transaction output. It is also returning the cost elements that are not relevant for planning which i dont want.
Please let me know.

Thanks but I have posted this message only after searching the forums. Few of the threads have suggested into a few tables but i am not aware of the relation between them to pull those values as i am pretty new to the PS module.
Appreciate any help.

Link between Cost element GL Account and WBS element.

Hi,
I want to get the List of all dollars sitting on the GL account attached to the selected WBS element.
For this, Any one please suggest me the table where i can get the link between the WBS element and GL account.
or
Table for link between the Cost element and GL account
and Table for link between the Cost element and WBS element.
Thanks,
Suresh.

Hi,
1. There is no link between cost element and WBS
2. Link between cost element and G/L account is one-to-one. This means, that if it's a primary cost element it has the same code as the G/L account. If it's a secondary element, no link exists.
3. The table where you can see the postings on your WBS is COEP. There you will find the cost element, WBS, amounts, etc.

Line item report on secondary cost element (cat - 21)

Hi Gurus,
Secondary cost element with category 21 is used for internat settlement from order to wbs or wbs to cost center. But can we see line item report on this cost element. Or we cannot see any line item report on this cost element. it is just used for internal settlement purpose.
Please clear this doubt. thank you

Hi Mohit,
I hope you can have line item report @ order and WBS element stright away...
for orders use: KOB1 transaction code for actual line items, where you have the facility of entering CE or CE group to find the vaues related to particular cost elements in the order. If you are flexible with CEs related to 21, give there otherwise create a CE group specific to 21 category and enter the group and find the results you want.
same way for WBS elements/projects: we have transaction code CJI3 for actual line items, here also we can enter CE or CE groups
Not only for actual line items, we have the option of viewing plan line items, budget line items, and commitment line items @ both order and WBS level with different transaction codes other than mentioned above, like KOB2, KOB3, CJI4, CJI2 etc
I hope it helps a lot if I understand your query right
Regards..

Error while Creating cost element under category 90

Dear Experts,
I have some Balance Sheet related G/L account, which I have created as cost element through transaction KA01, system gives an info message saying its an BS related account, if I ignore that message and proceed further it creates a Cost element with category (system automatically picks the category and the field gets into gray mode) 90.
We have created one more BS G/L account today and trying to create the cost element for the new G/L account, system is producing an error message:
G/L account 3200220 is a balance sheet account
Message no. KS036
Field status group     R005     Material accounts is maintained
Can some one guide me to rectify this error?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Praveen

Hi,
The use of cost element category 90 is only provided
in the following two cases (note Note 75980):
1. asset acquisitions and down payments which are
   assigned directly to a fixed asset or asset under construction can
   be assigned to an account on internal orders or WBS elements
   statistically.
2. cost elements of category 90 can also be created
   for material stock accounts to display material make-to-order stocks
   on sales orders or customer projects.
If you G/L account does NOT correspond to the standard cases 1) or 2),
you can (on your own responsibility)
both deactivate the account assignment
check in the CO interface (message KI098) and when you create cost
elements (message KS036). Both checks are deactivated by maintaining
Transaction OBA5. Deactivate message KI098. Message KS036 cannot be
deactivated directly with Transaction OBA5 - rather, it is deactivated
indirectly when you deactivate message KI098.
The message must be DE-ACTIVATED. Please do not set it to any other
type. Please proceed as follows:
Please call OBA5 in the production system - if not set to changeable
please do this in Your development system.
In OBA5 choose KI and in the detail screen add 098.
Then set the type of warning to "-".

RA method 15 ignoring certain Cost of Sales Cost Elements for its calculat

Hi,
We are using RA method 15 to calculate revenue accruals for costs posted to a WBS element, but not yet billed.
We normally have cost of sales being posted to a GL / Primary Cost Element (type 1) 601000, with quantities, which is then picked up by RA correctly and which adjust the revenue accruals accordingly.
We are using a further GL / primary cost element (type 1) to post manual adjustments to (602000). This also has quantities posted to it. This is included in the configuration in OKG5, with the same settings as the cost element 601000.
For some reason, this account is not being included in the RA calculation.
does anyone have any ideas why this might be the case?
Many thanks in anticipation
Jill

Is CE 602000 included in the DIP Profile for RRB?
Methods 14 and 15 work in concert with the DIP Profile. Check is the CE is included in the Source Selection.

Cost element report with cost object name column

Hi,
i'm looking for a report similar to S_ALR_87013601: Cost Elements: Breakdown by Object Type, but including a column with the cost object name. Does anyone know if such a report exists? If it doesn't exist, how can i create a report like this?
Some of my company costs are assigned to cost centers and some of them are assigned to wbs elements. We would like a report where we could have all the information together.
Thank you very much

Hi Xavi ,
Some of my company costs are assigned to cost centers and some of them are assigned to wbs elements. We would like a report where we could have all the information together.=>
There is not standard report available.. which will display total cost per company code.. i,e cost booked on cost centers, internal order and WBS elements ... This is becuse each modules store data in seperate tables.
You have to create a ABAP report to serve your pourpose. You have to collate all the costs booked in a company code for cost centers, IO and WBS elements . Pick up real costs only as per company code..
We are using such custom report and its working fine.
