What is the reason we need to run KB21N?

6179 Views

Hi All,

When we run KB21N, we can transfer cost of an activity type (If not mistaken, it is set in KP26, right?)

From one cost center to another one.

For example, KB21N

Sender CC: 4100, activity type: 1410

Receiver CC: 4200

Cost of activity type per unti/quantity => $20

Total Qty: 40

KSB1 read the cost center line item:

Cost center: 4200, CE: 615000, value: $400

Cost center: 4100, CE: 615000, value $400-

Does this mean that we move cost from cost center 4100 to 4200 (in controlling area).

How about FI side?

Since the CE 615000 is type of 43, internal activity allocation, meaning that this transfer of $400 should be within the controlling area (cost center to cost center), and should not have any FI document created/related.

Therefore, the user who run KB21N, should be aware of total cost initially available in cost center 4100, right?

Let say, cost center 4100 does not have $400 (or less than $400), then the process of KB21N should be considered NOT properly run as cost center 4100, initially does not have enough value to be transfer to cost center 4200.

Kindly advise.
