Hi

As I understand there will not be a cost center you are looking for as You have issued materials against an Order. As you might be aware Goods are issued against a cost object . ie. either Process/production order, maintenance order, directly against a cost center and so on.


There will be cost center mapped to your  consumption cost element which will not be specific to that consumption alone as same element is assigned to multiple cost centers/business area. These type of Cost elements are statistical in nature and are used only for reporting not for actual settlement of orders by Finance/Costing.


For your activity of issuing material against maintenance order you/Finance have to settle the cost against the Order only & not against any cost center. You can provide the list of orders to them for their consumption analysis just like any cost center.

Good morning Olawunmi,

If i got you clearly you ran a report using the Tcode MB51, and you wondering that you can't find the the cost center. if i goods issue was done without filling a cost center. you would not find any cost center.

Furthermore if you done MIGO transaction, that is Good receipt,  and the good receipt you did was referenced from the PO, you maybe able to track the cost center there. Again let me remind you that if your PO did not carry an Account assignment you would not be able to track any cost center.

Hope this help you  Olawunmi...

Kind regards

Why should there be a cost center for the 261 movement? Did you enter it, do you see it in MIGO?

Also click the Action icon on top right and then open your Notification tab. There is a message for you which have no read.

Regarding maintenance orders you should post in the EAM space, regarding costing reports in Controlling space.
