Former Member

Dear All,

I want to assign specific cost centers to 'free of charge -sales orders' . I did OVF3 and assinged cost centers for each order reason. But in sales order 'Cost Center ' is not getting determined automatically. However , if I enter the cost center in sales order manually , it is accepting the value.

Please help

Hi Tom

The Cost Center Determination settings is in OVF3 - but there are some cases where the Cost Center must be exceptionally changed.

If the document category for order type in IMG VOV8 is defined to be "I" which belong to order type FD - Deliv.Free of Charge, then the field cost center is active for input during transaction VA01.

Alternatively, you can specify an order reason and assign a cost center to an order reason.

However the standard SAP works only at the header level though, so it would not work if cost center is needed on the line item.

The cost center are assign for such business transactions as :

- Free deliveries

- Returns

- Deliveries of advertising materials

You can also make cost center allocation dependent on the order reason, for example:

Order reason: Damage in transit

Order reason: Free sample

Hi Rohit,

So how do we make cost center assignment manually at the Line Item Level. OKB9 is not the preferred method for this client.

Thanks
