Assessment cycles, gr55 and ke30
hi there,
we have many assessment cycles, cost objets, report painter, Z and COPA reports. I am sure we cant transport master data but can have transport requests for config in IMG. Can we transport the sets/ reports from DEV-QA- Prodn? I am referring to gr31/gr51 and COPA reports?
Also can we transport the assessment cycles along with their segments?
Thanks.
Hi,
Report Groups and reports in report painter can be transported from DEV-QA-PRD. You can do this using T.code GCTR.
You can also transport sets from DEV-QA-PRD. Go to GS02 Change sets. Mention the set you want to transport and then go to utilities in menu bar. Under utilities you will have the option of transport which have transport request has sub node.
Please assign points if useful.

We have run cost center -assessment cycle for a cost center group and all the cost of the profit centers are distributed to respective costcenters.And now we goto COPA-Assessment cycle KEU5 and run the cycle for the cycle with same cost center group as sender.
System posts a difference amount of positive amount in the credit side of each costcenter of that group.Which reduces the credit value and shows in over/under absorption.
Please suggest where from the system is finding the difference when all the costcenters are with zero value as cost is distributed thru CCA assessment cycle.What differences will a cycle run in co-pa determine.Please suggest.Hi,
Actually, the Sales overhead and Corporate expenses which are captured in the Cost Center shall be allocated to the COPA. All other expenses captured in other Cost Centers shall be allocated to the Production and shall be absorped into the products manufactured. Hence, the same Cost Center shall not be used as sender in both the cycles. If we use like what you described, it will definitely result in over absorption that is more credits. Hence, please describe why need to add the same Cost Center group in both the CC cycle and Copa CC cycle.
Trust this helps much!

Plan assessment cycle reversal
Hi Experts,
I have a problem with reversal. The situation is like this
1. I have two assessment cycles C1 and C2 which are to be executed in sequence. The cycle posts to some participating cost centers in cycle C2. These cost centers have their own costs as well.
2. Both the cycles are executed in sequence. When the cycle C2 is reversed, the amounts are not appearing in the sending cost centers of C2. The reversal documents are posted for very small amounts( residues in the cost centers after assessment eg. 0.01 and 0.03 etc.
Is there any restriction for reversal when multiple sequential cycles are involved? The transaction used is KSUBThank U for prompt response Ram000
I have been using these cycles for last 4 periods. When I reversed the cycle in KSUB, reversal documents are posted for the small amounts as I mentioned earliar. The earlier transferred amounts are not returned to sender cost centers.
When I try to reverse again, the system messages that the cycle is not run yet.
If I run the cycle again, there is no assessment as senders do not have any values.
By the way is there any way to get rid of the planning data (primary as well as secondary) for a period?
Both KP90 and KP91 are for a fiscal year. -
Assessment Cycles control issue
Hi Folks,
I have 2 assessment cycle A1 and A2, A2 cycle should be run after A1. So my question is How do I ensure that cycle A1 is run before A2. Also i dont want to re run any particular cycle again.
Regards,
RaviSet up cycle A1 as a background job and schedule it. Set up cycle A2 as a background job and schedule it but make this one run dependebt upon the completeion of the A1 background job. You set this up in the background job processing parameters. Set A2 to run after the A1 cycle job name that you create.
pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks. -
COPA Assessment Cycles and FI Period closing.
Hi Gurus,
I have question related to the COPA Assessment cycles.
We have closed the FI Period 03 and running the COPA Assessment cycles. while running the same, for few of the assesment cycles are completed and for the rest of the few cycles it is error out stating the Period is closed.
Why it is running successfully for few cycles and why it is complaining for Period closing for the others. We are on ECC 6 Version of SAP.
Error out cycles contains Cost accounts and Asset Account GL Accoutns.Hi:
If your CO allocation has some external postings (like GL or fixed assets) or generating some intercompany documents, then it needs FI to be open also. It happens sometimes if the allocation goes external so it would need fI period to be open also. If FI is close but CO is open, it would only work for CO specific allocations and others would error out.
Please check the cycle/segment which is in error. If it is suppose to hit FI, then FI (OB52) and CO (OKP1) periods should be in sync.
Thanks.

Assessment cycle - how do retain a certain amount with the sender and allocate the balance
Hello,
This is the scenario
We currently use an assessment cycle to allocate some administrative costs from an admin cost center to a few select cost centers.
Let's say admin cost center is X
Total plan cost for a period for X is $100
Total plan allocation is 70% of $100.
$30 of plan value will remain in the cost center X as a non-allocable plan cost
Let's say actuals for X for a period is $120
I would want to retain exactly $30 as the non-allocable value with X and allocate everything else that was actually posted.
So I want to allocate only $90 to other cost centers.
How can i set up this logic in an assessment cycle?Hi
I see two possible ways
1. Custom program using standard BAPI
2. Use SKF, where
Sender = CC X
Receiver = CC X, Y and Z
Receiver tracing factor - SKF
Skf qty will be 30 for X, 40 for Y and rest for Z. Skf qty of 30 for X will remain same every month

(KP97) Copy All Secondary Costs and Assessment cycles to Another Version
Does anybody know if transaction KP97 is capable of copying all planned secondary costs residing on a cost center from one version to another? The only secondary cost we have been able to copy are the activity allocations. We would like to be able to copy Overheads, Settlements and Assessments from one version to another.
Does anybody know of any SAP functionality that will allow you to copy assessment cycles in CO from one version to another? Currently everytime we create a new version we have to recreate the assessment cycles in the new version...it sure would save us a lot of time if we could copy them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!Hey,
I currently encounter the same problem, but I do not have the solution...
I can tell you the following: <i>"If you want the plan allocation data (such as assessment or distribution) to also be available in the target version, you need to make the corresponding allocations in the target version. You need to create the cycles in the target version. You can reference the cycles in the source version for this".</i> This is the official explanation of the SAP Help website.
The copying of secondairy postings from settlements should be possible, but the copying of figures which result from settlements do not work when I run transaction KP97...
You can find the information on the underneath location.

I hope this can help you a bit.
I hope others will give there opinion, so we can solve this problem.

Distribution and Assessment Cycles
Could anyone tell me the difference between distribution and assessment cycles?
hi,
in distribution the original primary costs are sent from the sender to the receiver. thus the original costs can be seen in the receiving cost centre.
in assessment the primary costs are assigned to a secondary cost element in an Allocation structure and the secondary cost elements are seen in the receiving cost centre
assign points if useful.

Difference between Distribution and Assessment cycle
Hi,
Can any one help me regarding the above(Difference between Distribution and Assessment cycle)
Thanks in advance
RajaniHI,
Assessment:
Assessment was created to transfer primary and secondary costs from a sender cost center to receiving controlling objects. During assessment, cost centers or business processes can be used as senders .n The receivers for an assessment can be a cost center, WBS element, internal order, cost object, or a
business process. You can restrict the number of receiver categories in customizing. n Primary and secondary postings are allocated at the end of the period by means of the user-defined
key.
n During assessment, the original cost elements are summarized into assessment cost elements
(secondary cost element category = 42). As the system writes fewer totals records, the assessment
has a better performance than periodic reposting and distribution.
n Line items are posted for the sender as well as for the receiver, enabling the allocation to be recorded
exactly. The system does not display the original cost elements in the receivers. Therefore,
assessment is useful if the cost drilldown for the receiver is not important, for example, as in the case
of the allocation for the "cafeteria" cost center.
n Similar to distribution, the partner is updated in the totals record during distribution.
n You can reverse assessments as often as required.
n You use the Cycle -Segment method to define sender-receiver relationships.
Distribution:
Differences between periodic reposting and distribution are due to information content and
performance.
n For periodic reposting, no separate credit record is written on the sender for the cost element in the
summary report. Instead, the totals record for the cost element is reduced on the debit side, which
means that the original debit amount can no longer be checked there ("unclean credit"). However,
during distribution, the system writes a totals record for the credit ("clean credit"). The information
on the receiver is the same for periodic reposting and distribution ("clean debit").
n Compared with periodic reposting, during distribution, the system also updates the partner in the
totals record for the sender. This means that the partner can be displayed in the information system
on the totals record level.
n As fewer totals records are written during periodic reposting, performance is better than during
distribution. See customizing for an example with figures that illustrates this aspect. Under utilities,
make settings for the SAPscript text display, then call up the text by choosing Periodic reposting,
Distribution, or Assessment from the menu.

Plant Name Qty Produced (in Kgs) Total Cost Per Kg Cost
A 1000 100000 100
B 200 20000 100
C 500 100000 200
D 1500 450000 300
Requirement
* I need to get the cost per kg forr each plant is required in SAP
i.e Last Column results shoulh come in SAP
* Is there any possibility to maintain any Assessment Cycle to achieve this?
* Suggest me how to get those results in SAP
If possible What are the senders and receivers and Skfs/ Activity Types to be maintained..............?Hi
Assessment cycles are used to transfer costs from one cost center to multiple cost centers (KSU5) or from a cost center to multiple PA segments (KEU5). You cannot use plants in an assessment cycle.
Maybe if the data you have given is available in COPA then you get get the required info using a formula in a KE30 report

Cost center Group & Assessment cycle
We are running CC reports for CC groups X and Y - Report GR55, Report group 1000 - Run in both currencies Pesos and USD by running in both currency modes.
Requirement:
1) How can we see the net balance in CC reports after assessments out = 0 in both Pesos and USD currencies.
2) Where we can see the link between Cost center Group and Assessment cycle.
Thanks,
RajuHi,
1) You will see the credit entries in the report after the assessment is run. Here, report should have configured in such a way, you can see both debit and credit entries.
2) If you have assigned the KSB1 Actual cost line report to the report, you can doubte click and see from which cost centers the values have flown through assessment.
Trust this helps much!

In KEU9 - plan assessment cycle, receiver ' company code' means what
Hi
In KEU9, plan assessment cycle for copa, in RECEIVER there are many eg...product, WBS , company code.
How does the assessemnt happen for receiver ' company code'
Thanks
kamalaHI,
To reflect all the actual costs from Overhead Cost Controlling in Profitability Analysis, you need to transfer the cost center costs which are not directly attributable to the production process. You can transfer these costs to any profitability segments you wish and thus assign them to any level of your contribution margin hierarchies.
That way you can assign them to the level that best reflects the cause of the overhead.
For example, you can assign the costs that arose in the marketing for a certain customer group to that particular customer group in CO-PA. Similarly, the fixed costs and the excess costs in production should be assigned to the products or product groups that caused these costs.
If you assess the overhead costs to Company Code level, then in your KE30 report these costs are available at Company code level which you can't drill down to lower level.
Hope this helps. -
COPA Assessment Cycle using KEU5 for multiple controlling areas
Hello All,
There is an organization with operations in several countries. There is a separate controlling area for each country. There is one controlling area, for instance, for Germany and another for Netherlands.
A problem is encountered while executing transaction KEU5 for multiple controlling areas in parallel. For instance, when one user from Germany executes KEU5 for an assessment cycle for Germany controlling area and at the same time another user from Netherlands tries to execute KEU5 for a cycle for NL controlling area, the user from Netherlands encounters an error message u201C'Cycle XXXX 01.02.2008 cannot be started because run group 0000 is locked'.
Apparently SAP allows assessment cycles for exactly one controlling area to be executed together. This poses a problem since the organization plans to implement SAP in several other countries (There will be one separate controlling area for each country as per the organization structure adopted by the company).
Any ideas, views or suggestions on the aforesaid issue would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
SoumyaHi Soumya,
Did you find any text in SAP Documentation saying that "SAP does not allow cycles belonging to different controlling areas to be executed at the same time"...?
Pls find the following text from SAP Help...
Parallel Processing of Cycles of an Allocation Type
Use
Parallel processing of cycles results in considerable time savings. To process cycles of one allocation type in parallel, they must be assigned to different cycle run groups.
You define the cycle run groups in the cycle header data. You also assign cycles to the cycle run groups in the header data.
To process the cycles of a cycle run group in parallel, start the cycles one after the other, if required, in different sessions.
You are carrying out a cross-company code cost accounting and want to perform the actual assessment in the individual company codes in parallel. Create a cycle run group for each company code and assign the appropriate cycles to these groups. You can then carry out the actual assessment in the individual company codes in parallel.
When you execute a cycle, you can start a consistency check. The system checks whether you are allowed to execute the selected cycles in parallel.
Though I didn't come across such requirement, I feel, my earlier suggestion will work out...

Assessment Cycle - Detailed Line Item Report
Hi,
The users have run the Assessment Cycle for allocation of costs from one cost center to various other Cost Centers. They now want to view the line item report, giving the details of cost allocations performed and the cost centers. Could you please advise as to how can we get this report?
Thanks in advance.
RegardsHi Ragini
Thank you so much. The Report is quite valuable in analysing the results of assessment cycle and cost allocations. (Points assigned).

Cross company code posting in assessment cycle
Friends,
I developed one assessment cycle to send from Cost center A ( company code A with USD) to Receiver cost centers B ( company code B with CAD) and Cost center C ( Company Code A and USD), When I do the assessment cycle and check the details it is showing me 100% taken out of sender and assessed to B and C. But when I check cost center report of Cost center A, the credit is not same as the debits ( i made the cycle to take out 100%). When i drilled down in the credits ( sent from assessment cost element), I see object currency to be different from transaction currency ( should be the amount that needs to be credited) even though Object and transactions currencies are in USD.
Any input on why object currency value will be different from transaction currency value even though both are in USD? Is it something because of cross company posting with different currencies? Thanks in advanceHi,
check SAPNET note 549430 it describes the system beahivour and what you can do.
