SAP Programming Finance Cost Center Actual Line Items Report

SAP Finance cost center report lists individual line items that post to the selected cost center or cost center group. At the time the line items list, additional fields can be accessed to assist a cost center manager in monitoring the actual costs being posted to the cost center.

A cost center manager may often use this report to reconcile postings between the General Ledger (G/L) and cost centers, and to monitor the actual postings made to a particular cost center. This report may also assist a manager in searching for particular information, such as a specific material or purchase order posting.

How to run this abap report?

To run this sap fico report, use one of the following access options:

1. Information systems → Accounting → Overhead costs
2.Cost centers → Line items → Actual

In the Command field, enter transaction KSB1 and choose Enter.

Prerequisites:

You must set the Controlling area before running the sap programming report.

Choose Accounting →Controlling → Cost centers → Environment → Set controlling area.

For the examples in this section, the controlling area is set to 2000.

You must enter a value in the selection fields before running the report. You may leave the cost center and cost element selection blank, so that all cost elements are selected. If you enter cost center groups and cost element groups, they must have already been set up. If they contain subtotals, hierarchy nodes should be created within the groups. Each hierarchy node then subtotals in this report.

To display the original document, we can double-click on a line item in the actual line item report. For example, if a material posting was made to the cost center, drill down on a cost center line item to list actual costs contained in the original material document. If a direct financial journal entry was made, drill down on the cost center line item to display the original financial document.
