WBS element and Cost Center

Hi Gurus,
As far as I know, when the a/c assignment category is P in a PO, the costs are assessed on the cost object WBS element and when the a/c assignment category is K in a PO, the costs are assessed on the cost object cost center. But, as I drill down a WBS element, I find Requesting and responsible cost center.
So, can I say that a WBS element is actually a child of the responsible cost center ?
      And all the costs assessed on a WBS element are eventually assessed on the responsible cost center?
Please help in clearing my concepts.
Thanks,
Kumar

hi,
You assign the account assignment to WBS element based on the OPERATIVE INDICATOR...
By this you specify the attributes of a WBS element and determine which tasks the WBS element can carry out in the project...
Please check the LInk given for futher explainations:

  • 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

  • Cost Elements and Cost Centers in a service order

    Hello Finance Friends....
    I am inquiring about something that has been happening and I can not find the answer as to how.  I spoke with the finance consultant and he seems to think it is the valuation class being changed but the valuation class has not been changed at all....so here is my problem as I am at a lost...it is an intermittent problem....
    I have a service order for material to be repaired by the customer...lets say coming in for Ansi Calibration with repair.
    The technician will issue material to the service order for repair....if the technician does not end up using the material for repair he will reverse the goods issue and then the material goes back to stock...
    in my scenerio ....when the material is issued it is under GL account (cost elelment) 5XXXXXXX.  When the reversal was done it went to 6XXXXXXXX.  So when the DP90 transaction is done (billing request) it gives the error for cost center XXXX cost elelment 6XXXXXXX and can not complete the transaction DP90. The error is the Material combination for DP90....this works in others....these are just one offs that it is happening to and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to why it happens... I have tried reverse the transaction to put the material back to the service order and then manually reverse myself using the original GL account number it was issued on (5XXXXXX)...however when doing the DP90 it still reads the 6XXXXXXX cost element and cost center XXX.  Keep in mind that the valuation class or material type has not been changed.
    Where is the GL account and Cost center being derived from in the service order?  What can I check?
    Thanks in advance....

    Hi,
    Check in T030 table for OBYC assignments and TKA3A table for OKB9 settings.
    Also check account assignment tab of PO.

  • Combination of cost elements and cost centers

    Hi guys,
    what if I mentioned only cost centers as sender values in a segement of assessment cycle? do you think that is must to have cost element and cost center combination in sender values?  how it will be differnt I dont mention any cost elements along with cost center  in segements as sendors?  please clarify me with the example.

    Hi
    Cost Centers are the cost collectors and cost elements are the cost carriers.
    When you add cost elements and cost centers as senders you define that the cost that are available in the cost centers are carried to other cost objects via the cost elements.
    Hope it helps
    Good Luck

  • Book cost to WBS and Cost Center

    Hello All,
    TEST SYSTEM
    I post cost to WBS ( 5150 real ) and cost center (1001 real). The wbs 5150  is assign to cost center 1001.
    I do not have validation and subs.
    The system allow me to book cost to both cost object (WBS/Cost Center)
    How does the system recognize this.
    To my knowledge even though you booked cost to both cost object the system will automatically make wbs as statiscal.
    Is this correct ?
    Please advise
    Thanks
    bali

    Hi,
    If your WBS is not defined as statistical in the master data, then booking to WBS and cost centre, will create statistical posting to cost centre and not to WBS.

  • WBS Element Actual Cost and 'Detailing the  Value Type ' issue

    Hello BW Experts ,
    I want to extract the WBS Element Actual Cost and Revenue.
    I have selected the data source 0CO_OM_WBS_6 .
    In this data source there is a field  Detailing the value type ' 0VTDETAIL.
    As per SAP BI Help if the value of this field exists between 1 to 4 then it is actual cost of WBS ( also Key figure Category 0METYPE should be 1000 for actual cost and for revenue it is 1001).
    value 4 of 0VTDETAIL means CO Activity Allocations.
    When I see  the data from this data source in RSA3 , I could not get any WBS whose 0VTDETAIL is 1 to 4 and Key Firgure Category as 1000, value type = 10.
    Is there any other data source I should select in order to get actual cost for WBS ?
    I can see the settelment cost whose 0VTDETAIL = 5 through this data source in RSA3.
    But I want to see the data for the Actual Cost whose 0VTDETAIL = 4 .
    What could be the reason ?
    Thanks in advance .
    Amol.

    Dear Oscar,
    Thanks for your response,
    The Actual Cost posted by our Functional Consultant is USD 250, but i am getting the Total Actual cost is ZERO (Sum of -250 +250) as i shown above.
    the posted  actual cost is +250, finally we need this figure only,
    if i do restriction on Sender receiver Indicater field with S than i will get Actual Cost 250, but in SAP standard RKF for Actual Cost there is no restriction on Sender receiver Indicater field (S & H)
    I hope you got my point now.
    Thanks

  • Internal order and Cost center

    hi guys
    can anyone please explain me why do we have cost centers and internal orders?
    If we can track cost to cost center then why do we need internal orders?
    please give some detailed explanation.
    thanks

    when you are posting a document and if the g/l is created as a cost element then
    you have to either assign a cost center, profit center, internal order etc
    so when you are posting an expense and if its for that project you assign the
    internal order and when the project is finished you can settle it to a cost center.
    If we can assign both internal order and cost center i dont think so but not very
    sure. Best way to learn these things i would recommend is try it in test system
    that way you will understand better about the whole flow and it will stick in your
    mind.

    Hi,
    Business consolidation is for more of consolidation purpose and cost center grouping is more for management reporting purpose for cost control purposes.
    Both the organizational units serve for different purposes. Consolidatied business will not have much meaning unless you go with EC-CS.
    Cost Center Groups are much for control purpose and help in managerial reporting.
    Business Units are part of FI Organizational Structure and Cost Centers are part of CO organizational structures.

  • GL and Cost center report

    Frnds
    can i get a report that has GL Account and Cost center (which was psoted to GL ac) and amount.
    More specific,,,
    Lets say one GL acct had five posting and all of them were booked to different cost center. so i want reaport tht consists GL acct and All the cost center, which was posted to it for the year 2006.
    GL a/c      Cost center       amount
    101000      1000XPDS        1000
    101000       1000TPDS       1000
    101000       1000JPDS        1100
    like this way, please let me know if you have any idea.
    thanks

    What goes into the cost center is a cost element (similar to G/L account). You can run KSB1 and enter the G/L account number in the cost element field and restrict the period.

  • WBS Element and it's associated Employees

    Hi All,
    In CJ20N, we will be allocating Employees to a WBS Element.
    I would like to know from which table, the WBS element and its Employees can be retrieved?
    Regards
    Pavan

    Did you try with the infotype table PA0027 - Cost distribution infotype. Or you can check in PA20 and infotype number 0027.
    Here the WBS elements will be assigned to the employees with their % of allocation.
    Hope this helps you.

  • What is the impact of business area and cost center in the sales document

    Hi all
    I have small doubt regarding what is the impact of bussiness area and cost center in the sales document... what is the uses of these (bussiness area, cost center) is help full for sd module
    can any one reply plz....
    Thanking you

    Hi,
    Business Area determines where the revenue should be allocated when you sell a material or a service.
    For eg: If your customer is in say Mumbai and he is ordering for a service in Delhi (say DIAL - Delhi International Airport Limited) then based on the terminology.
    Your customer would belong to B Basis Business Area - WHERE THE REVENUE IS COMING FROM or WHERE YOUR CUSTOMER BELONGS TO (SALES OFFICE).
    Whereas your DIAL sales will belong to A Basis Business Area - WHERE THE REVENUE IS GOING TO.
    Cost Center would determine where your allocate your cost to.
    Say Rounding Off can be used as a cost element, because some sort of revenue is lost when figures are roudned off..
    Hope it clarifies your doubt.
    Reward points if satisfactory

  • CO, which table decribes "cost center" and "cost center group"?

    Hello experts,
    now I have the transaction KP06. Maybe through customizing the user has built a "cost center group" for some "cost center".
    In which table can I find out the relationship between the "cost center" and "cost center group" ?
    Thanks.
