Hi Experts,

While operation confirmation of PM order, the cost is not flowing into settlement receiver (cost center) i.e. it is taking wrong cost center,profit center and company code.

Ex. We had made a PM order say company code (which is maintain in equipment master) "A" and cost center ( cost center in equipment and work center) "111" and profit center "xyz" but while operation confirmation cost if flowing to company code "B" and cost center "222" and profit center "abc"

Please suggest.

Thanks

Vishu

Hi

If Fund management is active at that time it is possible due to wrong assignment of cost center.

Kindly check with FICO consultant about assignment of cost center align with fund center.

Thanks

Hi Maheswaran,

It is happening for all work centers. But some time it is behaving correct and some time it is picking wrong work center.We also checked substitutation rule if any, but there is no substitution rule written for it.

We have maintain same activity type for different cost centers (we have different plants, hence we have assigned same activity type for different cost centers).Is that create a problem???

Hi Vishnu,

Do you have any process called intercompany transfer ??

As far us, i am not sure how you are able to accommodate two different company codes in one order, company codes are two different entities, so system will give an error when you assign the work centre to the operation...

As described in the earlier reply, operation cost are based on the work center cost centre assigned in it, so the labor cost is calculated based on KP26 value... Equipment cost centre will be used for settlement.

As Cost Centers are getting created at Controlling Area level, not Company Code level, there won't be any problem in assigning different cost center.

Also, this structure should be controlled by FICO consultants in their Organizational Structure. As this is not clear how they have done the configurations & other structuring the enterprise, its not possible to suggest anything on that.

Thanks Maheswaran... May be my system has given some checks not to use cost centre from other company code for assignment.

Vishu - you need to precise the query. As written by Maheswaran KD . labor costs are taken from CC assigned to work center in operation and are posted firstly to PM order balance. Than during order settlment all costs (labor + components) are posted from PM order to cost center assigned to reference object (usually equipment) according to settlement rule.

Just check what you have under icon marked in red.

While doing Operation Confirmation in IW41, cost will not flow to Cost Center, but it will flow to PM Order for which Confirmation is being done from the Work Center Cost Center (Work center which has been selected in Confirmation).

While doing settlement only in KO88, cost will flow from PM Order to Equipment "A" Cost Center "111".

Here, Cost Center "222" might have been assigned in work center master. This is called as Sender Cost Center. PM Order will receive the cost from Cost Center "222" as temporary receiver till settlement to Equipment Cost Center. While doing settlement, cost will be posted to Equipment cost center "111".

Hi Maheswaran,

Cost center which is assigned to Equipment master and work center is same i.e "111". We are not able to understand from where "222" cost center and company code "B" coming from.

Thanks

Whatever have been told already are SAP system standard behavior.

As you have system with you, you can cross verify by assigning other work centers. Also, check with FICO Consultants on this.

Are you using any development on this??

Hi Pete,

Please find the attached screen shots.

in above screen shot, in first line item ,the cost center should be 70106024 instead of 71176024. after settlement cost is going to correct cost center (as per second line item).

Vishu,

We cannot see all of the 2nd image, but its probably that the CC at the top of this image is derived from the work centre(s) entered in the confirmation documents (IW41). Thus posting the labour costs onto the work order. The lower CC is probably the one that the order is settling any open cost to.

Find this work centre, then go to the Costing tab and check the values. Then check with your Finance Team to ensure these values are correct.

Vishu G,

If you are using the HR costs centres, then check that the data in the HR master is correct.

Also, you could be manipulating this data in one of the CONFPM* user-exits (see transaction SMOD).
