Work Order to cost center settlement with line item detail

Iu2019m having difficulty finding a method to settle from a work order to a cost center with line item detail. When an order is settled with KO88 or KO8G the total value for that work order/cost element combination is combined and posted to the cost center as a lump sum with the description of CTR\######. Users would like to see the individual values that posted to the work order in a cost center report such as KSB1.

I donu2019t see anything in the settlement rule, settlement profile or allocation structure that will allow line item settlement from work order to cost center. Is line item settlement possible when settling to a cost center? Is there an alternate way to see these expenses as line items in KSB1?

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi,

create an allocation structure that uses settlement by cost element for receiver category CTR.

Assign this allocation structure to the settlement sender in the settlement parameters of the settlement rule.

Thanks Christian,

We've defined an allocation structure that we use for Project System and Work Order settlement and have Receiver Categories established as FXA, CTR and WBS with "by Cost Element" checked. Work order costs do settle to the cost center entered in the settlement rule, the problem is it combines all items values as a single amount when posting to the cost center.

For example:

expenses post to the work order under cost element 500000 for $500, $200, $300 and cost element 600000 for $250 and $250. The settlement rule says to settle to cost center 170000. When the settlement takes place cost center 170000 is debited $1000 to cost element 500000 and $500 to cost element 600000. We would prefer to see individual posting of $500, $200, $300 to 500000 and $250, $250 to 600000.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Jeff

Thats standard design... "Settle by Cost element" means settle the total amount for each Cost element..

You will get 1000 $, but not individual line items... Individual Line items are only possible for Internal Orders with Investment measures (AUC)

Thanks Ajay,

That confirms what I've read from other sources. We'll continue directing users from KSB1 to the FI reporting like FAGLL03 to see true line transaction details.

Thanks,

Jeff
