Cost Component Issue

[Former Member]

Hi SAP Gurus

I'm using a same cost element for Salaries and Direct Labour for Cost Planning.

Salary is planned against ADMIN Activity Type where as Direct labour is planned against MACH Acticity Type

But in Cost Component Structure, Ihave 1 Cost Component for Salaries and other for Direct Labour.

How could I saggregate the Cost in two Cost Component using same CE

Quick Response is appreciated

HI,

go to oktz,

define cost component structure with name X, select it clik on cost component with sttribute, here u define the attributes as with new entries like,

X 1 raw material,

X 2 semi finished,

X 3 activity type,

x 4 Overhead,

select 1 attribute click on Assignment- cost component- cost comp inerval, new entries give corresponding cht of acc, and all consumption raw materials,

similary select second attribute and give semifinished G/L,

Now coming to your prob, select attribute 3 , as your using Admin for salaries, mach for labour, give the corresponding g/l ( secondary cost element) assigned for these activities ( u can find this in KL03 - allocation cost element),give all g/l assigned to different activities in (from cost element) column to ( to cost element) column.

Hi,

I think you use 1 primary cost element for salary and direct labor cost. Then, you create 2 secondary cost element for capturing ADMIN and MACH activity type cost. In cost component structure, you assign these 2 secondary cost element to different cost component structure based on salary and direct labor cost. In conclusion, you didn't need to assign primary cost element in cost component structure except you are willing to use primary cost component split function. If you are also using primary cost component split function, you must create 2 primary cost element for salary and direct labor cost. No other way.

RohitPd1,

Define different secondary cost elements for the two activity type and do not activate "Primary cost component split" for the cost component structure (Tcode: OKTZ). Then assign the secondary cost element in the cost component structure for the two activity types.

WE have Primary Cost Component Split Active.Is there any way to have same CE assigned to different Codt Component

[Former Member]

No , this not possible to use the same cost element in more than one cost component under same structure.

You will have to use another cost element ( may be just for planning purpose) and do the cost planing accordingly.
