COst center planning upload

[Former Member]

Hi ,

My question is more specific to FI (functional).

Watz the best way to upload the COst center planning?(KP06)?

this is done for every quarter at my client.

BDC pgm is looking more complicated.(table control, there are few disabled fields which need to validated)

but i am able to find an option UPLOAD under menu.

If i am not wrong there is one more method to this upload using so called Generic files.

I am technical guy, never worked in FI area. I am having little support form Functional side.( i guess he has not done earlier).

So completely left to technical .

can anyone give the method of tips in doing so.

HI Satheesh,

You can do same thing using BAPI : BAPI_COSTCENTER_CREATEMULTIPLE. its easy to upload data. retrive the data from the file and fill those data into function module's parameters and call that. After that you have to call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT or BAPI_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK as per status of RETURN.

Hope this help.

Hi Parag,

Thank you for ur response.

I would like to have some more info regarding the table parameter used in BAPI_COSTCENTER_CREATEMULTIPLE.

Can you tell me exactly how do we map .

for eg:

I have the 5000-300 cost center.

under this cost center if we have the cost element matches to the file provided.

the it should update the planning data(cost center plan) periodically, i mean For JAN FEB MAR (individually).

Can this happen with the mentioned Func.Modu.

Let me know if u have info.

Hi satheesh,

Your requirement could be done by using that FM .Please read the documentation of FM. Its available on 4.7. I dont have any idea apart from above version.

Hi Sateesh,

you may use transaction BAPI in your R/3 System an navigate to Controlling - Overhead Cost Controlling. In CostActivityPlanning you find some service that might be used to fill the planning data analogous to KP6. The BAPIs are documented in the same transaction.

As future prospect I expect the just announced project Mendocino to offer a direct integration between excel and Cost center planning, so that you do all the planning in an excel sheet and then transfer to the ERP system.

I saw already a predecessor.

best regards,
