Cost Center Analysis - How to set up for Invoice Posting Lines?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 15

Hello Community,

I'm still in the process of Learning how I can work with Cost Centers to fulfil the need of our Accounting Deparment.

Up to now I have prepared the Cost Centers as followed:

  • Setup up a Dimension and added Cost Centers
  • Defined this Dimension as the Cost Center Dimension
  • Imported the Values to the Chart of Cost Centers
  • Defined the Cost Center Dimension as a Shortcut Dimension

Now im struggling. I create a Sales Invoice, use cost center I wanted and booked the invoice. When I look at the Chart of Cost Centers I can't see a Balance. I was expecting to see something there. Am I wrong in configuration or maybe I was looking on the wrong location?

Thank you for help

    Value will only be seen when the invoice is posted. No “open” dimension analysis view exists as standard

    Thanks for you fast reply. Maybe my question was not clear as I normally work with german language. The Invoice is posted in the system.

    You are using the Cost Accoutning functionality, right?

    Did you set "Auto Transfe from G/Lr" to true in the Cost Accounting Setup?
