Cost center in Sales Order/Credit memo request

[Former Member]

Hi SAP Gurus,

There is a requirement from our client. They are processing Credit Memo from SD VF01 via Credit memo request. The want to assign Cost center in the line items which is greyed out at the time of processing in VF01.

I also verified in the Credit memo request in VA02 even there is no field available for to maintain Cost center in line item so that at the time of billing it can derive.

Please advice whether can we assign the Cost centers in Sales order/Credit memo request line items?.

Regards

NTH

Hi NTH,

In the standard system, the field cost center is only ready for input

if the sales document category is VBAK-VBTYP= I (that is, order without

charge). For all other order types, you can make it visible by entering

an order reason provided that the combination of the sales area and the

order reason has a cost center assigned in OVF3. To change this standard

behaviour, USEREXIT_COBL_SEND_HEADER can be used. There you can find a

short example on how to make a field visible and modificable in the

account assignment screen.

Moreover, please take into account that the account assignment to a cost

center is possible only at header level. So it is not possible to

insert the cost center at item level, you can only insert it at header

level.

The cost center determination takes place in

FV45KF0V_VBAK-KOSTL_ERMITTELN and is reading from table TVAUK.

This table can be maintained in transaction OVF3.

If you wants to be able to enter the cost center manually in the

account assignment screen (header level), you can use the user exit

FV45PF0C_COBL_SEND_PBO_VBAK (SAPMV45A) - there you can find a short ex

ample on how to make a field visible and modifiable in the account

assignment

I hope that this information is of assistance to you. Thanks!

Dear NTH

I dont think in sale order / billing, you can see Cost Center but you can see Profit Center for each line item.

Cost Center is assigned to Profit Centers, so that you can reflect all the primary costs from Financial Accounting and all secondary allocations from Cost Center Accounting in Profit Center Accounting.
