Why Cost center  is an External Object type?

Hello SAP Minds,
How does  Costcenter and Person are classified as External Object types..?
What is the difference between External Object types and Internal Object types. I mean wht is the basic difference between them?
As i know Internal Object types are Org. Unit, Postion and Job,.
As Costcenter and Person are also part of Personal Planning why it became as External objetct types..
Experts please guide me.

Hi Vamsi,
While in personnel administration the “person” represents merely a type
of information object, in organizational management different object
types are processed. These are, for instance:
  Organizational unit
  Position
  Job
  Task
In addition external object types are also addressed. These represent
objects that do not belong to organizational management and are not
saved in its object structure, but that are quite important for organizational
management. These are, in particular:
  Person from personnel administration
  Applicants from recruiting
  Cost center from cost accounting.

  • Restricting issue of goods to cost center with respect to material type

    Dear Users,
    I have a requirement like we want to restrict issue of goods to cost center with respect to material type i.e., we want to issue goods to cost center only through reservation and that too only for specific material types. Is there any standard solution for this, please provide your suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Manoj

    Hi Ajay,
    Thanks for valuable input.
    I also thought in the same line , but user has the following concern on this:
    Assessment Cycle: As per Users, it cannot be used because this will allocate based on allocation basis. But they need, the values that was posted at the time of transaction and as per materials. So it wont be accurate through Assessment cycle,
    OKB9: They have different Cost center for different valuation area for the same GL Account.
    Hence through OKB9 also, we cannot post directly to COPA.
    That's the reason the above option were not adopted.
    My other concern to this is:
    In CKM3, we have two lines under consumption, one for Normal sales PGI and other is Cost Center.
    After doing revaluation of consumption in CKMLCP, we see one line under Cost Center :Revaluation of Consumption Figure"
    My question, where can I see that figure whether in any table or in Cost Center report??
    If that is also available we can try to match those values and post to COPA.
    Let me know your thought on this.
    Thanks and regards

  • Hide Cost Center & GL Account in Movement Types 551-556

    All,
    Requirement - Movement Types 551-556 should not allow the user to see or enter the Cost Center or G/L Account.
    How can I remove the user from having to enter and see the cost center and G/L account fields from movement types 551-556?
    I see I can make them both optional but this does not seem to be working. When I got into MB1A, I am still forced to enter both values. I
    Please advise!
    Thanks!

    He wanted the cost center (or any other account assignment) is to be displayed only but not ready for input in MB1A screen. Then how can user enter the cost object to post the loss. System by design enables user to enter his own GL account (if that GL is configured to the process).
    Automatic account determination helps to identify the correct GL account only for any movement type (say process) but not the account assignment objects like cost center, WBS element, order etc..

  • Revenue Posting to Cost Center & Pforfitibility Segment (Object Numbers)

    Dear All,
    I have tested a scnario, i.e., Can we post Revenue to the Cost Center?
    1st Case:- I tried to post Revenue to Cost Center & it was done.  The Cost Center was updated Stastical Posting.  ( Here i had entered Cost Center Manually, no other object was entered except Cost Cneter)
    2nd Case :- I have done the same way but i have entered PSG manually. 
    But here my doubt is :  in COEP Table both documents were updated Object Number AOXXXXXXXXXX10610.  Which is Recon Object Type.  In 2nd case i have entered PSG but in 1st case i have entered only one Cost Center but how the system was updated the CO Object Number AOXXXXXXXXXX10610
    Regards

    Hi,
      As per note 41103 under point 6, revenues posted to cost centers will only be statistical. The category types 11 and 12 are revenue based cost elements.
      As cost centers can carry revenues statistically only, the system has to create a reconciliation object automatically. It is just a generated object (containing charactersistics like company code, plant, business area, profit center,...) and this object is necessary to create as the real posting must be made. Otherwise, CO and FI would get out of sync.
    If only costing based COPA is active reconciliation object ("REO") is posted to if there is no real account assignment for the revenues (no CO-PA object/no revenue order or any other object which can carry revenues->please see note 106968).
    Thanks & Regards

  • Post proft segment and cost center in a sales order with value type 4 in CC

    Hello,
    We have CO-PA activated in SD. When we create the Sales order the field "Profit Segment" is automatically filled (with the characteristics values) and additionally we field manually the cost center.
    The main problem is that when we post in the two CO objects the cost center becomes automatically with value type 11 "Statistical Actual".
    In the end of the month we need to do the Assessments (KSU5) from the invoices created from one cost center to various cost centers but since the cost center in the invoice has "statistical  actual" value type we can't do the assessments.
    Is there any way to post in profit segment and in cost center and the cost center becomes with value type 4 "Actual"?
    Thank You

    Hello,
    Thank You for you answer. I have one more question.
    Is there any way to desactivate the field "Proft Segment" only for a specific document type?
    I've already tried in transaction KE4W and system is not creating now the Profitability Analysis document but this field "Profit Segment" is still  with values so the cost center is still with value type 11.
    I've tried to delete manualy the values in the field Profitability Analysis but system gives me an error related with incomplete data in sales order. I've look in SD customizing and this field is not configured in the incomplete data messages
    Best Regards

  • Cost Center Object

    Dear Experts
    What is the Object of Cost Center ,
    Or how we can put the restriction to use Particular Cost Center By  User ID.
    Rgds
    Pankaj Agarwal

    Hello,
    The following information may be useful.
    Please let me know the PURPOSE for which you want to restrict the cost center for a particular user ID. I do not see any point in restricting lik this.
    In simple words, profit center is to collect your revenues as well as costs. It will try to increase the revenues and controls the costs with the help of responsible person.
    Whereas, cost center collects the costs. It will try to control the costs with the help of responsible person. Cost centers are not meant for revenues.
    Cost center is a real object.
    Profit Center is a statistical Object. Statistical object means only for information purpose. Like a shadow posting.
    Make sure your have assigned profit center is being assigned in cost center master. Otherwise, to control, use OBA5 transaction code make KS 095 message as mandatory. You can also check the profit center monitor in 1KE4.
    If you give cost center at the time of posting, then real postings will go to cost center and statistical posting will go to profit center (which is assigned in cost center master)
    If you give cost center and Internal Order (real), then real postings will go to internal order and statistical postings will go to cost center and profit center (which is assigned in internal order master). The cost center will become statistical or real based on the other real object given.
    If you give cost center and internal order (statistical) then real postings will go to cost center and statistical postings will go to internal order (statistical) and profit center (which is assigned to cost center).
    Hope you are clear.
    Please let me know if you need any information.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • Cost center assignment to condition types

    Hi All,
    Is there a possibility to assign a cost center directly to a condition type in PO.
    I have created 3 new condition types to which 3 different P&L acounts have been assigned in OBYC. Then in OKB9 cost centers have been assigned to these G/L accounts.
    The client wants to know if it is possible to assign cost centers directly to condition types rather than going through G/L accounts?
    Regards,
    V S

    Hi,
    Whatu2019s your real requirement! Condition type is pricing element which is in pricing master and Cost center or G/L account are master data in FI and linking both directly not possible, but you can link through other parameters.
    When you are creating Purchase Order with account assignment K, you need to enter cost center name and must need to enter G/L account. If a cost center has multiple cost elements, as you needed, you can enter G/L account respectively with each line item of PO individually with cost center.
    OR
    You can set default G/L account in purchase order without material master, check the link:

  • Cost Center Inheritance from Org Unit

    Good day all,
    Can someone please advise regarding cost center inheritance from org units?
    I understand the inheritance concept, however simple need to know if the CCenter is added to the org unit via A011 relationship, does the system physically create a A011 relationship on the position inhertiting the cost center from the org or does the system simply pick up the realtionship from the org unit relationsip for use in IT0001 field KOSTL (cost center)?
    Thanks guys, have a lovely day!
    Christy

    Hi Christy,
    As we know cost centre(K) is an unusual object in OM.Two type of objects internal  whose master record are in database table beloging to sap erp hcm and eexternal object whose master data belong to other application areas.Cost centre is an external object that is used to represent origin of costs.Inheritance concept is on the basis of whoch cost centre are assigned in org plan.
    directly related cost centre is called master cost centre and they are made via A011 cost centre assignment relationsip.they can be made at org unit,position or work centre and nornmally its org unit that common.Org unit at the top are asisgned the cost centre as a best practise so that all the org units below or reporting will inherit the same.
    Similarly multiple cost centre assignments can also e made through 1018 infotype(cost centre distribution).Inheritance also applied to them aswell.
    Hope this helps.

  • Relationship & Object Types

    Hi Gurus,
    Can you please explain is the relationship between the Objects types?
    Relationship and their characteristics?
    Warm Regards,
    Zulfikarlos

    Object Types are used to represent organizational entities as they exist in the real world. The examples of these entities are- Various functional units and divisions, Departments, Various type of Jobs that are carried out in these departments, human resources that occupy these jobs, specific places where these jobs are carried out. To represent these real world entities in the SAP HR system, SAP standard delivers almost 100+ object types, for example-JOB-'C', Position-'S', Person-'P', Organizational Unit-'O', Work Center-'A', Tasks-'T' and so on. You can create custom object types of your own in case you feel that the standard offering does not include the one that you need. There are certain object types given that establish a relation to non SAP HR entities on a need basis. Example- Payroll costs of the employee should reflect in FI module.
    SAP uses relationships-3 character codes-to establish an association between the Object Types. These relationships are stored in Infotype '1001'. Example-To define a person as a manager of a functional unit or a department, the relation '012' (manages/is managed by) between the object types-Position(S) and Organizational Unit(O). Here, the person holds the Position and the Position belongs to the Organizational Unit.
    OM objects can be either internal or external. Any object that is used and created within OM is called an internal object, for example-Job 'C'. An object that is created outside OM but used within OM is called an external object, For example-Cost Center 'K'. Cost center is created in FI and used in OM. There are few things to note-
    For the Cost Center no inverse relationship record gets created. Normally for an OM object relationships are bi-directional, for example-003 (belongs to/incorporates). When you specifically create either one of these, the other gets created automatically. For cost center this isn't the case. The reason is that the key structure of the cost center is not the same as that of OM objects. Take a look at the length of a Cost Center code-the length is 10 characters. Whereas the length of OM objects is 8 characters (OBJID).
    Object Type 'P' gets created in PA(Personnel Administration) and hence treated as an external object type. Since unlike the Cost Center it has a length of 8(PERNR_D) it can have the inverse relationship created.
