Dear friends,

Thank you,

Hi Sumanth,

                  RPSCO is a master table. The data stored in this table is against value categories.You will also get the plan cost in table RPSCO.

In order to look project cost based on CE* , we shall use COSS/COEP table.

Generally, whenever we plan cost against WBS, NWA, we use COSP/COSS table to cross check the data.

In addition to that , check the below given link to know about other tables:

Hi Sanjeev /Tushar /Ankur,

Thanks for your responses.

Keeping reference of your inputs, I have below doubts and once again require your help.

1.   1. COSS -  Internal postings – please let me know an example for Internal posting? (is it posting from one to GL to other? Or cost center to other?)

2.   2. COSP – External postings - please let me know an example for External posting? (is it posting from GL to Vendors? Or cost center to Vendors?)

3.   3. Does values stored in PRSCO, would also be available in COSS and COSP?

4.   4. Assume there is a Capital project, then which table would normally be used?

Hi Sumanth,

COSS table is updated for every posting made with secondary cost elements.

COSP table is updated for every posting made with primary cost elements.

Please refer following thread

Hi Sumanth,

Most of your queries are aptly answered, i guess.

Note that RPSCO is the master table and it holds all types of costs. COSS, COSP & COEP are exclusive table that only hold data for a particular type of posting.

Remember, in case you wish to develop a report and fetch some values you can always use the RPSCO table as it contains everything you need. You can filter data in the RPSCO table based on value categories and value types to fetch the required values.

I would rather say that values stored in COSS, COSP & COEP are also stored in the RPSCO table.

Hi Sumanth,

COSP is for primary cost elements (i.e. which have corresponding PL accounts in the Controlling Area).

COSS - for secondary cost elements, which don't have PL accounts in Controlling Area, so these "internal" postings are invisible for Financial Accounting.

Hello,

I met some problem about the definition of COSS and COSP based on the cost element type.

Posting by KB15N using both primary and secondary cost element, you will find both balances in COSS, and none in COSP.

So the definitions of internal and external posting are more apporpriate.

Hi Sumanth,
