Work Order & Cost Center Commitment Management

We have a business requirement to be able to view our work order commitments (Reqs and POs) from the work order as well as from the cost center assigned to the work order via a settlement rule. Our business users do not like the work order collecting all of the costs instead of the cost center where they perform their cost controlling.
The actuals will settle to the cost center eventually but without the commitments they have no way of planning for future costs. Commitments management is activated for both the cost centers and work orders involved. I am open to any suggestions on how to achive this requirement. Thanks!

Any thoughts?

BAPI/Function Module for posting internal order + cost center plan

Hi Guru:
Is there any function module/BAPI, which could be used to post internal order + cost center( both of them )plan data?
Like post a record:
internal order = 10000
cost center = C1000
amount = 1000$
for plann version 30?
It seems the BAPI could only contain 1 cost object, either cost center or internal order.
Thanks.
Eric

Hi again,
I think you may have missed something important here. In R/3 there can only be a single "real" cost object for any one posting. If not then the whole SAP financail model would collapse as there would be "double postings" and that is certainly not wanted.
If there is a need to post to two cost objects, like in your case, then one of the cost objects MUST be statistical.
In your scenario SAP has thought of a solution that might be of help for you. An internal order can be set to be statistical in master data. When posting to both the cost center and the internal order then you will get a real posting for the CC and a statisitical posting for the IO. Reporting does work with this as per your requirement.
Hope this gives you some hints for how to proceed.
Regards, Johan
Aaaaah. Noted that this was only plan data. Sorry. But the same still applies for plan data postings as well as for actual data postings. If there should be just one posting that could be "drilled down" from IO to CC -> If you post twice then, when doing "Grand total" for instance, double values would appear. So, still IO should be statistical. //Johan

How can define the cost center (department) manager?

We are on 11.5.0.10
Financials implementation is done(GL,AP,AR,FA,IA)
In iAssets System, we want to set up the approval method to use "cost center-based approvals". (For cost center-based approvals to work properly, each cost center must have a manager defined.)
How can define the cost center (department) manager? Thanks.

I believe this is done in the organization definition screen. For each organization, we attach a classification "Company Cost Centre" (the same place where we attach the classification operating unit, inv org etc). In the others section, there are 2 additional information - GL company cost centre and reporting information. In the GL company cost, you need to attach the balancing segment value and the cost centre value. In the reporting information, you need to attach the manager for that organization. This ay the relationship between the cost centre and manager is created.
Hope this clarifies.

Work Order Costs

Hi Experts!!
We need a report on the work order costs, however, we have some non-valuated materials in the components list. We are trying to pull the costs of the non-valuated materials from the Purchase Info Records and show that costs as part of the Warehouse Issues Actual cost. I thought this would be a custom report - Please let me know if any standard report is available or any way of tweaking the standard report.
Also I am able to see the Actual/Planned costs of the order on iw33 costs tab. I am trying to find out if there is any standard FM that i could use to get the work order costs. Also is there any infosets that i could use to pull the data for the jobs costs in my custom report.
Regards,
Yuvi.

Hi,
Have a look at transaction IW3M(Goods movement for order),It might be easier to modify this to pick up the Last PO price (Or Info rec price) for the non valuated materials.
Have a look at FM PM_WORKORDER_COSTS_LIST this will list out the costs at the value category level and also show the total costs, very similar to what IW33 shows.
The costing information can be picked up from table PMCO.

Production order - cost center

Dear All,
My question is:
We will produce trial products in our factory, and the management wants the costs of these finished goods to be booked for another cost center than usual (they want ot see it separately from normal prod. costs).
Can we set this 'trial' cost center for the production order? And how? (e.g. can we define a new production 'order type' that is connected to the desired cost center?)
Thanks in advance,
Csaba

Hi there!
Thanks for your answer.
So, as I see I cannot only change e.g. the 'order type' or something and use the same work center, routing as before.
I have to create new master data (e.g. work center).
Cannot we avoid this somehow? (This kind of PrdOrd would be issued only once-twice.) Is there any more simple solution?
(Maybe there's no 'simple' solution.)
thx
Csaba

Work Order - Cost Settlement (Urgent)

Hi All,
I would like to know where i can check the costs, after doing MB31 or CO11. I suspect the way the work order flow has been setup in incorrect, as the work order is supposed to generate a purchase requisition, which is to be converted to a PO. But at the moment i just see a number in the requisition column of operations page of the work order. But no p-req's are seen in MD04 output.
I checked in MB51, i find a 101 movement for the sub-assembly work order, but the cost column is 0. Await inputs.
Vivek

Dear Vivek
1. Tick the sub-contracting box in Routing (to ensure the system generates sub-con purch reqn during MRP run & then i convert it to sub-con PO) ---> <b>This will not create Subcontracting PR during MRP run. This will create PR during Production order release or that particular operation is released.</b>
2. In the above case, after the let us first operation if you are sending it to contractor then there will be any entry in Inventory management as it is not material subcontracting it is only SERVICE subcontracting i.e. this particular operation is subcontracted. This procedure is followed when contactor is working with in your company premises.
3. The procedure you are talking about in you serial no 1 to 4 is the <b>material subcontract...</b>the procedure is as below
Let us say you have a final product C.
C needs B
B need s A
A needs raw material X and Y
In the above case
C and B is having routing
In A material master MRP2 view....enter special procurement key as subcontacting(in STD sap the key is 30), procurement key = F
A has a BOM having items X and Y.No routing for A
When youn run MRP
System will create Pl order for C and B, SUBCONTACTING PR to A and PR to x and Y
After you procure X and Y, You can convert PR of A to PO.
Then you will send the material i.e. issue the material to subcontractor through 541 and special stock O.
This stock you case see in MMBE with special stock O.
Once you receive the material A, when you do GR, the materials are issued to A and A will be inventarised with mov type 101.
The cost of serve and the cost of raw material is booked to cost center entered in subcontracting PO.
The cost of this will be settled to production order later.
I hope it is clear.

Work Order Cost Rolling Up to WBS Element!

Hi everyone,
I created a Project A with WBS structure in PS (not statistical WBS structure). And then I assigned a work order to one of the WBS element A.0001. I did not post any cost to the WBS element directly. I only charged $1000 to the work order. Now when I use CN41N to generate the cost report and I found the $1000 in work order rolled up to WBS element A.0001 ($1000 showed at work order level and also WBS element level). Then I settled $1000 in the work order to a WBS element C.0001 in Project C. When I run CN41N again to see the cost in Project A, the $1000 still showed up at work order level, but it did not show up at WBS element level A.0001. I need the cost to roll up at WBS element level also, so this is a big problem for me.
I did several test. Assigned another work order to this WBS element A.0001 and charged another $1000 to the work order. Then I settled them to cost center directly instead of to WBS element. The $1000 showed up at the work order level and also at WBS element level (the cost rolled up from work order to the WBS element in that report). Then I tried to settle to GL account, the cost will roll up to WBS element too.
So I found only when I settle the cost to WBS element, the cost won't roll up. I think it might be a configuration problem. Does anyone know where I need to configure in order to let the cost roll up to the WBS element after I settle the Work order to a WBS elements?
Really appreciate your help!

Hi Martina,
This is awesome, very helpful! Now I know how to deal with it.

Sales order - cost center posting

In a sales order, the field cost center (header rellated) appears only by entering an order reason.
Are there other possibilities to open cost center field for entry?

Hi,
If the account in question is defined as cost element (KA03), then it requires an assignment to CO. Profit centre is not sufficient, as it's not a CO entity, but EC-PCA. If you want to set different cost centre depending on input paramteres (plant), you can define a substitution (OKC9). Otherwise, if you just want to set a default you could use OKB9 or KA02.

Eli

Substitution not working for Cost Center

Hi All,
We are using OBBH to make a substitution for Foreign Exchange valuation to meet one of requirement as cost center at line item level to be blank, we have made cost center field blank in substitution.
When we run the foreign exchange valuation system is updating the cost center from the source line item to the difference account. It is not considering the substitution value which is blank in cost center.But we have added some other fields in substitution those are working fine other than the cost center.
Do I need to make any settings for this to take cost center as blank at line item level.
Regards,
Shilpa

Hi Shilpa,
the substitution may be used for filling the cost center when it is empty, but not for clearing it when it is filled, because the substitution isn't called when the cost center is already filled.
Please read OSS note 1296568.

Why time-dependent not work for cost center and profit center hierarchy

Has anybody been able to successfully turn on time-dependent for cost center hierarchy? Looks like the R/3 datasource 0COSTCENTER_0101_HIER is defaulted to be NOT time-dependent, and I dont know how to change the R/3 configuration to enable time-dependent for this datasource.
Here is what I found. If you go to RSA2 in R/3 and enter datasource 0COSTCENTER_0101_HIER, and then select "Hierarchy Info", you will see that all the time-dependent properties are unchecked by default. By comparison, Cons Unit datasource 0CS_UNIT_CSCU_HIER has Version Dependent Hierarchy as selected, and we are able to load Cons Unit hierarchy as time-dependent, but have no luck so far with the Cost Center hierarchy.
Can any BI guru tell me how I can make time-dependent work for the cost center hierarchy?
Thanks a bunch!

Check SETLEAF and SETNODE.
Basically CO Master data groups dont have seperate tables. They will be available in above tables. Choose proper Set class to filter the results

How to Check Cost Center to Manager

Hello All,
Is there any FM to check if a cost center is involved A250 relationship with any position. The input parameter should be the costcenter and the outparam should be the position with which it has the A250 relationship.
Thanks in Advance
RK

Hi RK
I couldn't find any std. Eval.path to fulfill u r requirement. So can you create a new custom Eval.path and try to use the std.FM " " to get person managing the cost center
Custom Eval.path details
10     K     B     011     Cost center assignment     *     O
20     O     B     012     Is managed by...     *     S
40     S     A     008     Holder               *     P
Let me know, if you find an issue to create a custom eval.path otherwise we will find a another solution
Thanks

What is Budjet, Profit, Work and Cost center means?

Hi Guys,
Can u explain Budjet center, Profit center, Work center and Cost center? Also if i miss any other center like these!
What is the functionality of each in business point of view?
If possible with an example:-)
Thanks,
Vinod.

Hi.
Please use a search enginge before aksing here. BTW: If you use a search engine perhaps it is advisable to write 'budget' instead of budjet.
And before I forget this I would like to point out that your question is not related to ABAP. Therefore this forum is not the right place to ask it anyway...
Thread will be locked.

Work Order Cost/Planned data by Activity Type

Does anyone know the cube that would contain planned and actual cost for work orders using the work order activity type (AUFK-ILART)
Will reward points as always.

Hi Ashish Jain,
I have planned activity type/price with the transaction KP26, but the system doesn't return any value in planned costs of WBE.
Why?
Thanks
