I want to issue the material to an order through reservation;but doesnot want the cost to be posted in the G/L associated with the material; or to be settled on the cost center when i settle the order.
As this material i am issuing to the vendor and also keeping the track with my maintenance order;is there also any way; that the cost goes directly to the vendor account instead to the cost center or g/l when i settle the order.
U can create one more material as Diesel of UNBW type so consumbition cost will not come in WO. Ask your MM and Account team for respective setting so that cost can issue to vendor or Third party.
By using UNBW material type material cost will not reflect in WO, Hope this will help you.
I am issuing diesel to the vendor for my work to my equipment. But this diesel is charged to the vendor.
Now when i settle the order after the completion of the work; the diesel in the maintenance order is booked to the costelement to a certain cost center.
But apart from this finance is raising the debit note to the vendor for this diesel.
Now if both of this is carried out; i am booking my cost and also charging the vendor.
But this cost booking to the vendor is in a seperate G/L and charging in a sperate cost element.
Total net effect is zero; but cost element are different in different cost centers.
Are you creating maintenance orders whenever there is a requirement for Diesel?
Diesel is a consumable that is not used for maintenance purpose. If you consume against Order, it will be coming to Cost analysis report. Also this not your cost for maintenance of the Equipment as you charging this cost to your vendor.
Why don't you create one cost center for the Equipment and issue the Diesel to the cost center for accounting (without maint.order)?
As you are issuing the Diesel, Stock to be Consumed, If that vendor is a common and regular, you can create Vendor as a cost center and issue the materials against the cost center and Finance people at the time of bill passing can refer that Cost Center and can raise the memos.
On the other hand, if u have many vendors it is not advisable to maintain those many costcenter, so maintain one common cost center and issue the materials to the cost center with the vendor code in the recipient filed or in the Document Header text filed, so that finance people can get the cost reports vendor wise and the purpose of stock consuming also solved.
Also it is not advisable to issue against the Maint.Order because Vendor Service costs also booked into this costs will be booked twice in the Order.

Vendor wise cost center is tedious one if one equipment is operated by more than one vendor at a time or different time. Create a Cost center for each Equipment and issue diesel to this cost center. It would give clear consumption report and cost to FI dept to raise memo to the vendor.
If you book the cost against order, it would cause increase in pain ... Better discuss with your FICO dept.
Thanks for the replies;but still i want to go ahead with the maint order; as we plan diesel for each equipment beforehand;and have a strict nature of issue against the reservation for all the requisition for Plant & Equipment department; as use of cost centers will deter the process in other cases.
I need to know that in maintenance order is there nay way to cancel the cost of this material; and any way not to take this material to the consumption G/L.
Other than this our vendors are not specific; and equipments are owned by the organization so by deafult the order takes the cost center of the reference equipment; will go into more hassels to change the cost centers by creating and assigning the cost centers to the orders; bu changing the primary equipment cost centers.
Also i want to know that under Components TAB when i select the General box--> it gives the stock allocation field with creditors; what is this field defined for??
and is general indicators helpful in performing this action.
You can create one more cost center for each Equipment for Diesel consumption and make reservation and issue the material. No need to change the maint cost center in Equipment master.
Reservation can be made against Cost center by MB21.
Totally two cost center for each Equipment one is for maint cost from maint order and other is for diesel consumption.
Option2:
In maintenance Order differentiate the cost of diesel and settle to separate cost element (Allocation structure) in the cost center of the Equipment ... It would appear in the Standard cost analysis report... Check feasibilty to exclude this cost element from your report.
The problem is that i am using the same order type for my all the equipments ans equipments of hired basis.
If i dont nake an order i dont get the amount of diesel and qty issued to the equipmen; or even i make a cost center seperate for each equipment and then issue the diesel.
But as this process states that i want a report where i can see the diesel i have posted on a statstical manner ; and then debit the vendor with the amount of deisel posted by raising a debit note
Right now i am taking diesel as my expense when i ssue it; and debit it to vendor so my net effect is nil.but this effect comes in seperate cost centers and seperate g/ls.
