Chnage log on settlement rule

We have activated the change tracking on certain Plant Maintenace/Customer Service orders. It works fine on the order itself. but not on the settlement rule We make changes to the settlement rule, can see the 'changed on' user name and 'changed by' date, but when, from the settlment sub-screen follow the menu path:GoTo>Change Documents, the system responds by saying there are no change docuemtns.
Is there some setting to capture the details of settlemetn rule chagnes?

PM:Action log for Settlement rule

Dear all,
May i know are there any way that i can see the changes that being done at screen maintain settlement rule. For example if I change the settlement type, system will keep the change/action log for that changes.
One more question, what the different between settlement type 'FUL' and 'PER' (impact to the settlement)
thank you so much,
Siti Norbaida

Hi,
I Hope this Documentation will help you ........
Settlement type
Depending on the processing type, the settlement type determines which settlement rule is used in a particular type of settlement processing.
The SAP system supports four settlement types. The AUC and PRE settlement types are used for settlement of capital investment measures. You can only use the PER settlement type for planned settlement.
PER (periodic settlement):
Settlement with this settlement type covers only the costs for the relevant settlement period.
The following data from internal cost allocations:
Sender cost center/activity type sent
Business process
Quantities
is allocated further to the following receivers:
Cost center
Internal order
Sales order
WBS element
Cost object
Business process
Actual activity prices, elimination of internal business volume and variances can then be calculated correctly in Cost Center Accounting and Activity-Based Accounting;
FUL (full settlement):
You can use this settlement type in automatic settlements.
The difference to periodic settlement is that in full settlement you settle each time all the costs that have occurred for a sender object for all the periods prior to the settlement (and are not yet settled). If PER rules exist, they take precedence over the FUL rule.
Quantities from internal activity allocations are not sent to the receiver. This means that there is no guarantee that actual activity prices, elimination of internal business volume, and variance calculation will take place correctly. For this reason, we do not recommend that you use FUL for cost centers or business processes.
AuC (Capitalization in asset under construction):
This settlement is automatically generated if you enter a capital investment profile with an AuC as its capital investment measure in the order control data.
Settlement is conducted periodically and in full to the AuC
PRE (periodic preliminary settlement):
You can enter PRE rules in the settlement rule for the order. They are used as part of settling capital investment measures. Depending on the rules you entered, posted debits are settled to the CO receivers or to a G/L account before the periodic settlement.
It is good idea to do this for particular line items if there are additional costs assigned to a capital investment measure that should not be capitalized. This may be necessary, should you wish to monitor the total costs of the measure in controlling.
Use
Note that settlement type FUL permits quantity settlement for primary cost elements only. You cannot settle quantities to assets.
Note that you cannot manually create or change a distribution rule with settlement type AUC. This has the following effect on settlement rule maintenance:
The required rule is generated from the asset under construction, which is stored in the master data for a capital investment measure, ( order or WBS element)when you carry out settlement for the first time.

Settlement Rule Log in WBS

Hi SAP Gurus
I would like to know the log of person who created the settlement rule in WBS.I check WBS master data change report but it does not provide the log of settlement rule maintenance.can any one tell me?
Regards

Hi
The following reports are available:
RKASERULES
You use the settlement rule fields to make your selection. The system displays all the senders for any object type corresponding to these criteria.
RKASERULES_OR
You only select internal orders, plant maintenance orders and service orders. You need to specify a selection variant for internal orders. You can also use the settlement rule fields to make your selection if required.
RKASERULES_PR
You only select projects (WBS elements, networks, orders). You need to specify a selection variant for projects. You can also use the settlement rule fields to make your selection if required.

Error-M2O-Settlement rule for assembly order for item...could not be genera

Hi,
When I am creating Sales Order (VA01) for M2O, I am able to do the costing and copy the EK02 condition type. I have verified the the incompletion log, it indicates that document is complete.
But while saving the sales order, the below error message is displaed:
Settlement rule for assembly order for item 000010 could not be generated. Should the order still be saved?
                Yes/No
1. If No is choosen the following error message is displayed
       Error when processing Production order
      Error when processing Production order
      Message no. V1380
      Diagnosis
        A technical error has occurred. On calling up the assembly interface, exception 5 was triggered. The exceptions have the following meanings:
1 = External block, 2 = General error, 3 = Insufficient data for the interface, 4 = Order was not found, 5 = Update has been rejected, 6 = Final document number for Production order is not issued. Procedure: Inform your system administrator.
2. If Yes is choosen, it is creating Production Order without settlement rule. Able to perform GI & Gr. If I try to enter settelement rule (Settlement receiver SDI - Sales document item) in production order (CO02), the belwo error message is displayed
"Distribution rule for Sales document item can only be created automatically Message no. KD063"
We are using the requierement class with below details:
Reqmts class: ZSO- for M2O
AAC = E, Valuation = A, Settlement profile =SD1, RAKey = 000004, Assembly type = 3.
Settlement profile contain:
Allocation structure, PA structure, Default object type = SDI. Valid receivers: Optional -Sales Order / Prof. seg.
If I make the Valuation field as blank in Reqmts class, there is no error while creating Sales order. And also Settelemnt rule with sales document item as receiver is successfully creating for the production order. Since the Valuation is blank in requirement class, it is Non valuated Sales order stock. All GIs & GR are non valuated
The business requirement is it should be valuated sales order stock and the production varinaces has to be settled to Sales order. Then Sales order has to be settled to COPA.
Need your valuable inputs to meet this requirement.
Let me know if you need any further details.
Thanks in advance.

No PSG in settlement rule (table COBRB)

Hi,
I have a Sales Order which had a settlement rule created to PSG and had been settled already. However, currently, the customer of that SO became invalid as well as contract type. So I tried to realign (KEND) this PSG, unfortunately, the current PSG has gone (no PSG no. in table COBRB), in settlement rule, there are some incompleted data left, such as customer, plant...
Now I would like to close this Sales Order (no balance in KVBI), however, since there is incompletion log regarding the incomplete PSG and settlement rule, it is unable to close the SO. In case I tried to end the old settlement rule and create a new one, it seems to be unable to create using the new customer with new mapping.
Please kindly advise how to solve this problem.
Thank you.

About Generating Settlement Rule in Customer Project

Hi Experts,
I am doing the exercise of customer project T-100## in CA830.
While generating the settlement rule, the error log appeared: No profitability segment could be determined for the billing elements. So the settlement rule generation failured.
May somebody guide me how to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Balakrishman,
In my case, the fields of Business Area/Profit center have already been maintained. I think there must be other reasons that result in these error. Hope we can discuss further. Thank you for your help!

How to Make Settlement Rule Mandatory in Sales Order(In Acct Assigt Tab)

Hi Gurus,
I have a business requirement. For Free of charge 3rd party orders (yes they have FOC orders delivered by third party) the business wants to ensure that the Settlement rule should be mandatory. They enter cost center & receiver in the settlement rule.
i.e the order should not save till Settlement rule is maintained in the line item in the Acct Assignment tab.
Please let me know how this can be done.
1: Applied my brains on incompletion procedure but does not seems like it can be done there.
2: Is there something in CO where some setting can make it mandatory to enter settlement rule in Sales order?
3: I s there any other way in user-exits or ABAP?
4: Is there any setting in Item category(I could not locate any)?
5: Can this be done via Requirement class.
Please assist to resolve this one.

Dear,
It depends on settings in Requirement Class (OVZG) and Account Assignment Catg (AAC) in OME9
If your AAC is E in Req Class, then your sales order is a CO object.
Requirement Class in IMG can be checked - IMG > Controling > Prod Cost Planning > Cost Obj Controling > Prod Cost By Sales Order > Control of Requirement.
Or any filed any you can Make mandatory through Transaction variant SHD0.

GR/IR expenses not affected with the settlement rule run process in the GL

Please neglect by previous post with the same title
There is a problem I face while running the settlement rule process related to internal orders on the GR/IR expenses.
According to the internal order settlement rule every expense associated to an Internal order no. whether its an account payable or manual journal accounts it should be settled (distributed) on the cost centers specified in each internal order after the monthly settlement run process is done through T.Code "KO8G", and this actually happens on the entries that are booked manually through T.Code "FB50", but the GR/IR entries is the biggest problem, it didn't reflect the settlement rule distributions in the GL it just gives me the original transaction once its was automatically created through T.Code "MIGO" they are only allocated to a one profit center with no cost center and without being distributed to a multiple cost centers according to the distribution strategy.
After a long search I found that the cost center distribution occurred only on a secondary none GL account named A&P Settlement (720010), all GR/IR expenses was settled correctly only on this account not through the ordinary GL accounts (e.g. Gifts, printed materials) and of course the correct distribution didn't appear in the GL,
So is there a transaction or any way to allocate the GR/IR expenses to there correct cost centers with the correct cost element in the GL?
Is there anything to do with the GR/IR calculation that depends on quantity base not value base?
The Process as follows:
(1) Creating Internal order with a settlement rule (E.g. Cost center 1 (50%) Cost center 2 (50%)
2) Creating a purchase order associated to an internal order
3) The Goods received and creating the GR transaction T.Code "MIGO"
Acc/DR Expenses accounts
Acc/CR GI/IR Account 400301
Profit enter ###### (eg. 111177)
Cost Center <blank>
Internal order no. ####### (e.g. 9810512)

4) Closing the GR/IR accounts when receiving the invoice T.Code "MIRO"
When we receive vendor invoice:
Acc/Dr GI/IR Account 400301
Acc/Cr Vendor Account
Profit enter ###### (eg. 111177)
Cost Center <blank>
Internal order no. ####### (e.g. 9810512)
5) Performing the Internal order settlement rule run process
(N.B. By entering the report of the cost center (Actual/Plan/ Variance) T.Code S_ALR_87013611
I found that GR/IR expenses was not charged on the concerned cost centers as shown in the GL )
Your Reply is highly appreciated

Thanks for your kind reply,
But is there a way solve this problem?
And what is the use of leaving a field in the account assignment tab for an internal order while creating a PO and it will not take advantage of the settlement rule????????
And as you know the internal order settlement is a way to create a multiple account assignment
Can we solve the problem by making an automatic fake transaction that reverse the value of the GR/IR and creating another transaction can apply on it the settlement rule??
You know that settlement rule process is one of the best features in the SAP system it save time and effort to make distributions manually

CO Order settlement rule to be changed on monthly basis.

Hello,
We have a scenario where in CO orders (i.e. orders created in KKF1) which is being used for goods issue (MT 261). Settlement rule is defined in the order and the receiver is CO-PA.
Now the requirement is, values lying in each order needs to be distributed to say 3 profit center on every month. This distribution rule is subject to change on a monthly basis. I know we can give the percentage say 50% to PC 1, 20% to PC 2 and 30% to PC 3.
But this rule is subject to change every month. How can the user give the Settlement rule manually every time which is very time consuming. Even if we gives it cannot exceed 999 line items.User wants to use the Same co order.

Settlement rule does not exists in order number.

Hi All,
I have been recieving a error while trying to save the Production order. The error reads as "Settlement rule does not exixts in order". But fact is that order has settlement rule. Also there is a default setting done in order type settlement profile because of which settlement rule is created automatically.
Now there is a way around. We calculate cost manually and then we go to settlement rule and check for error. Once we do so the order is good to save.
But we are not able to save it automaticaaly after release. This issue occurs when we try to release the order and then after releasing the order we try to save it.
Please help us on this issue.

Hi Prabhakar,
Thanks for your input. But the said setting was already done while implementation. All the material except this material has the issue. We are able to realease the order properly for the material except this one. And since go live we are using this material for first time.
We did a work around. We copied this material and recreated a new material with reviced part number. That one is working fine in lower client. We have now no idea how could one material all the same data like material master and routing and BOM and work centers can work properly whicle failing for other.
We are trying to debug this will let you all know if we find the solution. Till then if you all have any idea any prior experience, please let me know.

Hi
Check the path
IMG>Controlling>Internal Orders>Actual Posting>Settlement>Maintain Settlement Profile>Maintain Settlement Profile.
Here there is a tick for amount settlement under Indicators. You need to maintain this check box for your requirements.

AUC and settlement rule mismatch.

Hi,
We have created many AUCs while uploading initial data at the time of go-live by posting JVs on WBSE and then performing the settlement. Now due to some currency issues we have reversed all settlements, and then Asset accounting person has resetted the asset register.
now when I am trying to create AUC from CJ20N, system creates AUC and provides the number. but this newly generated AUC number is not matching with the AUC in settlement rule. I can't delete the old settlement rule as the settlement performed on that. as well as I am not able to add new AUC in settlement rule.
Please let me know if there is any program / tcode which can remove this inconsistency. or is there any other procedure to make it streamline.
Please help.
Regards,
Nilesh.

Hi,
There is no error message in this case.
The scenario is like:
I have one WBSE and AUC is created for this WBS. for example AUC number is 1. the WBSE is released and some cost has incurred on it. during periodic settlement the cost is settled on the AUC.
Now the Client FICO team observed that the asset accounting is wrong due to currency conversion problem, so FICO team decided to reset the asset register and upload the entire master with new corrections. this will reset the AUCs as well.
so i reversed the settlement done on AUC and got the cost back on WBSE.
FICO team has resetted the asset register and all AUCs got deleted.
Now the issue is: WBSE is having AUC #1 in settlement rule which can not be deleted as settlement is carried out on this rule.
But when I create new AUC for WBS it is being created as some different number, (lets say #7) so even if now I run settlement the settlement will be done on AUC #1 insted of #7 even though #1 belongs to some other WBSE now in new scenario.
I hope I have clearly mentioned the issue.
Regards,
Nilesh

Error: Maintain settlement rule of the sender for a higher level WBS

Hi,
I dont want to maintain the settlement rule for a higher level WBS. How can i configure this in such a way that i dont get the following error:" Maintain settlement rule of the sender" while doing CJ88. Maintaing a separate Settlement profile for a higher level WBS is an option but we are looking if something else could be done The problem is that there are no actuals booked against, say, level 2 WBS but when i execute CJ88, i get the aforesaid error. How can i ensure that only the lowest level WBS ask for the settlement rule and not the levels above it. I have already removed the Investment profile from the higher level WBS but still getting the same error.
Regards,
DPil

Hi,
It is a type Capex WBS and Biling element is not checked. In fact i get a warning while doing the settlement: WBS is neither a billing element nor an account assignment element.
Diagnosis
WBS element is not indicated as either an account assignment element or as a billing element in the master record.
System Response
The WBS element cannot be assigned to an account.
Procedure
Correct your entries or add the missing indicator to the master record for the WBS element.
But this is just a warning. On pressing enter i get the error :Maintain settlement rule of the sender "
