cost center on billing document

Updated May 18, 2018

Hi,

We need to post a billing document to an expense account with 1-Primary costs/cost-reducing revenues as the Cost Element category.

This account needs to be posted with a cost center and profit center as well

I have maintained the mapping in OKB9 for the default cost center and profit center.

But when I tried to post the billing document, only the profit center got populated. The cost center field is blank.

I think this is because there is a profitability segment in the FI document's line item. Thus, this PA segment becomes the real value while the profit center is the statistical one. Is this so?

How do I make the profit center as the real cost and the cost center as the statistical?

Please advise as we need to populate the cost center on the FI document's line item.

Thanks very much. Let me know if you need further information.

Regards,

Hello,

You can do that by creating a sales order with the field order reason in sales order field up. It will be possible by the following procedure:

1. Create order reason in OVAU.
2. Mapped the order reason created to sales org., distribution channel and sales document type.
3. Maintain default cost center for order reason in tranx OVF3 (by this mapping cost center gets populated in every sales order that you will create).
4. Lastly maintain entry in VKOA transaction.
