Derivation rules: problems w/ time-dependence

Community!
I have an issue with the derivation rules after an organizational restructuring which occured <u>during</u> the fiscal year.
Let's say we have the following derivation rules:
Derivation Rule 1 (before organizational change from 01.01.2006):
a -> b -> c
Derivation Rule 2 (after organizational change - from 01.07.2006):
a -> c
Now (in regards to a restatement for the year 2006) I want to switch off the derivation rule 1 for the second half of the year. Therefore I can only limit the valid-to date of the entries, but not of the derivation rule 1 itself!
When I try to book something after the 01.07.2006, an error exception is coming up, telling that derivation rule 1 is missing the correct entry. But I actually don't want this rule to be valid after 01.07.2006!!!!! I only want Rule 2 to be valid for this time-period!
Is there a possibility to limit the complete derivation rule so that SAP will not jump inside and look for a valid entry? Or, do you have any other ideas on how to solve this problem?
Thanks for your help in advance,
Bjoern

    Good luck!
    to get a solution you need to provide the members of this forum with details regarding your PA set-up.
    PA is normally very customer driven, so not standard.
    Without information regarding your structure there you will not get any solution.

  • Derivation Rule Problem After A Client Copy

    Hello,
    Has anyone ever encountered a problem with derivation rules after a client copy is performed? After a client copy, we have "some" FM and GM derivation rules (not all of them) that have to be manually copied from the source to the target client (line by line by line by line). I'm thinking that there has to be a way to prevent this since some rules are fine after the clent copy. Your input would be greatly appreciated.
    Will

    I believe that we have resoved our issue. For the derivation rule values that would never copy, we re-created these again starting in DEV and transported the derivation rules throughout the entire landscape (QAS and PRD). Evidently some derivation rules (and the related values stored in the tables) were created directly in Production. During a client copy the values in the tables for the derivation rules that were created directly in our Production environment would not copy to our QAS environment. Those rules were stored in a table named FMFMOAPRD1000122. Note that PRD is in the table name. After re-creating the rule and transporting it through the landscape, the table was named FMFMOADEV1000152 (for example).

  • F-02 BDC DERIVATION RULE PROBLEM

    Hi,
          I am not getting derivation option button for profit segment while I am recording with SHDB ,but I could get in normal posting in tcode : F-02  ,could you suggest how to handle it .
        The screens while I am posting are getting different for different G/L accounts with different screen fields,pls.. suggest how to handle it too.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Maheswar.A.U.

    Hi,
    Each G/L account has a field status group. The screens in F-02 are dependant on the field staus group for that account.
    Go to transaction FS00 and find the accounts that you will be using and the field status group and the fields that you must enter. This will tell you the screens that you will be getting in the F-02 transaction.
    The field status group for a particular account is available in table SKB1 and the field is FSTAG.
    Now populate the BDCDATA structure with the screen details that will popup for that particular account and the field status group.
    Ex: If SKB1-FSTG eq G003.
           ...... (fill the bdcdata for the screens that would popup for this account group.)
          endif.

  • Transport Problem - for KEDR Derivation rule

    We are trying to create derivation rule through transaction KEDR without any values. After creating derivation rule, it is creating workbench transport request eventhough K9RE* table is client dependent.
    We have different transport routes/groups for customizing and workbench. SAP Layer is assinged to workbench transport group with one another Z* layer.
    When we are trying to create request it is creating workbench transport request eventhough it is client dependent. It is using KEG0 package which is assinged to SAP layer.
    Workbench transport are not going to all clients and we have to move request manually to other clients.
    What should we do for changing this behaviour?
    Thanks,
    Miral.

    With detailed explanation:
    I thing previous post with was not detailed enough. Please see below.
    We have created two different transport group for differentiating
    customizing and workbench transport request.
    ZECD layer is assigned to /CUST/ group where as ZWBK and SAP layer is
    assinged to /WRKB/ group.
    We are moving all client independent transports (assigned to /WRKB/
    group) to only 1 client in other systems.
    While creating derivation rule through transaction KEDR, it is not
    allowing us to assing /CUST/ group eventhough config is client dependent.
    It is using package KEG0 which is assinged to SAP layer and SAP layer isassinged to /WRKB/ group in our configuration.
    The Derivation rule config is client dependent eventhough it is creatingworkbench request. We would like to know why it is creating workbench
    request instead of customizing request.
    Thanks,
    Miral.

  • Funds Mangement - Fund center derivation error at the time of PO/MIGO

    Hello -
    Generally ,If FM account assignements are available in purchase requisition , same should be carried to purchase order and to the good receipts. But I am getting an error at the time of PO or MIGO that " Fund center not derived'. Why this happening ? What can I do to avoid this problem. can I create a step in the derivation to keep the original FM assignments from the previous documents....is there something to do with field status??
    Thanks in Advance
    Chris

    Hi
    Please read carefully tye warehouse concept
    Excample warehouse concept II
    >At PR no FM update
    >At PO no FM update
    >AT GR no FM update
    >AT consumption on Cost center, WBS or Internal order FM is updated and AVC is checked
    Read the release note of ERP 6 or ERP5 the customising of Warehouse concept is well explained
    In sumary:
    Create a stock commitment item statistically
    Create a warehouse funds center
    Create a funds
    Create a derivation rule for warehouse concept 2
    Create a derivation rule where you have plant, valuation class and warehouse funds center
    Cretae a derivation rule fund>warehouse funds center>stock commitment item
    Go in customising integration to make field status for assignement FM account asignments
    Select PO and PR and make optional the funds, funds cenbter, commitment item
    And when you will create a PR or PO FM data will come automatically

  • Profit centre derivation rule to derive profit centre based in Business plc

    Hi,
    We required "profit centre derivation rule to derive profit centre based in Business place + 9000 in such case were vendor & customers are involved and current profit center derivation logic doesnu2019t work."
    For this we have mapped a substitution pertaining to all co. codes based on all the relevant posting keys for Vendor and Customer where in system will replace the profit center based on business place given in line item as Business Place + 9000. For happening this we have written a User Exit and attached the same with this substitution through t.code OBBH. Entire hting we mapped in our testing client.
    But now the problem is whatever posting keys we have defined in our substitution are being used in normal payment and clearing also.
    Eg : In payment document vendor is debited vide posting key No 25. where the profit centre is derived based on the invoice that gets selected.
    In Normal Payment and clearing transactions, the profit centre is derived based on the profit center in offsetting line items (as per New GL Logic) currently.
    Now our business requires that where ever the system is unable to derive a profit centre for vendor and customer (And giving the error " Balancing field profit center in line item 001 not filled") transactions, then at that time profit center for that line item should replace with logic Business Place + 9000 (here business place is the business place contained by that line item in which error is coming for profit center.).
    How to map the same in the system through substitution / exit or any other method? Awaiting for your inputs pls. Thanks in advance.

    Still not answered.
    Requesting to give some clue for the same.

  • Derivation rule for service agreement

    Dear Gurus,
    I have derivation rules between GL-commitment item and Cost center - Fund center. now when i create PR & standard PO for type "cost center" the system is working properly by derives fund center and commitment item automatically but when i create service agreement the system doesn't derive fund center and commitment item. If anyone have any suggestions, please let me know.

    Are there any conditions to the derivation rule?
    In my QA system, I was able to create a derivation rule GL=Committment item. It worked the first time I created a scheduling agreement using ME31L.
    Then I went into the "conditon" tab of the derivation rule and entered business transaction=RMBA and RMBE (purchase requisition and purchase order respectively) and the derivation rule did not work when i created another scheduling agreement.
    Other than some conditions exist or the target field attribute is needed to be set to overwrite. I am at a loss to what the problem could be.

  • Problem In time of creation wprk Scheduled...

    Hi...
    I have faced a problem in time of creation work scheduled, it is displaying a error massage like " Error while accessing public holiday calender on 20100101".
    Can anybody help me to resolve the problem....
    with regards,
    Diptendu

    Hi Diptendu,
    I believe you are creating work schedule rule for the year 2009. So for this, u need to mandatorily generate holiday calendar upto Jan 2010.
    This is because in order to generate workschedule rule for Dec2009, holidays in the holiday calendar should be assigned atleast in the month of Jan 2010 and then generate the holiday calendar upto Jan 2010. So the dates for generating holiday calendar would be 2009-2010
    Hope this would solve ur issue.
    Thanks.

  • Derivation Rule in PCA

    Dear All,
    we have an issue in profit center acccounting. Balance sheet account Vat input tax payable is picking dummy profit center instead of correct profit center. Basically we are doing the following steps. 1. Purchase order creation 2. Goods received via migo 3. invoice receipt via miro
    At the time of miro posting, system is automatically created accounting document, with dummy profit center is assigned to Vat input tax payable account. For GR/IR clearing account right profit center is picking without any mistake.
    Infact, Dummy profit center is assigned to this balance sheet account under tcode 3KEH.
    Derivation rule is created for this balance sheet account along with plant condition to post to correct profit center under 3KEI . But system is taking only dummy profit center.
    I have checked configuration and the following areas like Material master costing view, tax code areas, and account group but not find any mistake.
    Please advice how to get correct profit center to this balance sheet account instead of dummy.

    You have to do this with the Month end closing

    Calculate Balance Sheet Adjustment
    Description
    A balance sheet eadjustment distributes
    receivables and payables in customer and vendor reconciliation accounts,
    tax postings,
    cash discount postings from the net method of posting vendor invoices as well as
    valuated exchange rate differences in open items (this is a P&L item, but since receivables or payables increase or decrease depending on the valuation, a readjustment is also made for the exchange rate difference with a reverse +/- sign).
    This process ensures the zero balance per business area necessary for creating business area balance sheets.
    It consists of the following steps:
    When posting a document, the system analyzes it to determine whether a balance sheet readjustment is necessary. If a readjustment is required, the system marks the document for readjustment.
    Readjustments are calculated for the marked documents and stored in special tables.
    This subfunction is described below.
    The calculated readjustments are read and then distributed and posted in total to the appropriate accounts.
    Fields Included in Readjustment
    Readjustments are made for business areas if the function for business area balance sheets is activated in the company code in question. Readjustments are also made for trading partner business areas if the function for business area consolidation is activated.
    If Profit Center Accounting is activated in the controlling area allocated to the company code, readjustments are made for profit centers as well as trading partner profit centers.
    Note
    The fields included in readjustment are determined when the original document is posted. Thus, the customizing settings for business areas and profit centers must be made prior to posting the first document. If these settings were not made, you can still mark posted documents for balance sheet readjustment by executing the subfunction for setting up the balance sheet readjustment (see below).
    Basis for Distribution
    The system uses the account assignments of the offsetting entries in the initial document to calculate the distribution. Offsetting entries are all G/L account items apart from tax items and cash discount items.
    Readjustment is made only for those account assignments which were not specified during posting (their value is blank). If a value is entered in an account assignment field during posting, it is regarded as a correct entry and not changed by the readjustment.
    Carrying Out the Distribution
    Readjustments are transfer postings which create one or more account assignments (not blank) for the unspecified account assignments in original documents.
    Scheduling the Program Run
    You can run this program as often as you like.
    Requirements
    Account Determination
    For each account, you can specify an adjustment account to post the readjustment to. Otherwise, the system posts the readjustment to the original account.
    To distinguish readjustment postings from other postings, you should create separate adjustment accounts and have the readjustments posted to them.
    Since reconciliation accounts cannot be posted to directly, you have to specify adjustment accounts for them.
    Since readjustments are posted without tax, the accounts posted to cannot be relevant to tax.
    Adjustment accounts are determined when calculating the distribution.
    For more information on automatic postings, see the Implementation Guide.
    Output
    The log shows how many documents per company code the system calculated distributions for.
    Note:
    If valuation differences are noted in documents, the system always includes them in the calculation. When updating the allocation tables, it checks for whether or not calculations already exist for these documents.
    If account determination is incomplete or maintained incorrectly, the system does not calculate any distributions for the affected documents. It lists both the queried entries and the affected documents.
    To view the readjustment calculated for an individual document in Document Display, choose Environment -> B/S readjustment.
    Additional Information
    See the documentation for the other subfunctions:
    Posting the distribution.
    Displaying the logs of existing posting runs.
    Reversing an incorrect posting run.
    Redetermining the adjustment accounts if you changed the account determination or it was incomplete at the time of calculation.
    Setting up balance sheet readjustment if you have already been productive with a release prior to 3.0.
    Dependent functions
    Readjustment must be carried out prior to creating a business area balance sheet.
    Profit Center Accounting also requires the results of readjustments.

  • Automatic Business Area Derivation Rule for Vendor Line Item in MIRO

    Hello Experts,
    We trying to use Business Area concept for our client.
    I have completed all configuration setting for the business are derivation like
    1. Creation of Business Area
    2. Assign Business area to Plant / Division (OMJ7)
    3. Business area determination from sales area (TVTA)
    4. Business Area by Sales Area
    5. Checked Field Status Group for Customer and Vendor Reconciliation Account
    It is working for for compelete sales process and in Procurement cylce it is picking business for MIGO transaction both the line items.
    But
    In MIRO (Purchase invoice posting) it is automatically taking Business area to the GR/IR line item and it not taking Business area for the vendor line item (automatically)
    I comes know that there is a business area derivation rule for this to happen automatically.
    Can you please propose the soulution for the automatic derivation of business in MIRO for vendor line item.
    Regards,
    Chalapathi

    Hi,
    I do mot think there is a BA derivation rule for MIRO.
    The best you can do is:
    1.  Use a user exit or enhancement point for deriving the BA from the GR/IR line and populate that in the vendor line
    or
    2.  You make BA as a mandatory field in the field status group for the vendor reconciliation account.  This will then force the user update the BA.  We use this option.  This is so because at times, the vendor item may need a different business area than the GR/IR line.
    Cheers.

  • Replicating COPA derivation rules in BI

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement where we are creating an extractor and COPA derivation rules available in ECC needs to be replicated in BI. My doubts are-
    1. Could this be directly achieved in BI, if yes then how would we maintain sync between the ECC derivation rules and the replicated ones in BI. If there is some update on these rules, how would the respective BI rules get updated?
    2.Should this be handled during extraction in ECC itself. If yes, what is the best approach for this?
    any pointers catering to the above questions and anything related to mapping derivation rules in BI would be a great help.
    Thanks in advance for your help and time.

  • Easy Cost Planning: Calculation Row (Business Process) in Cost Model Derivation Rule

    Hi All,
    The Requirement:
    Using the Cost Model I am able to do up to Sub-Total Value.  I tried with Calculation Row (Business Process) in the Cost Model Derivation Rule, but could not succeed. 
    I tried with Base Planning Object, but the formulas are different for other scenarios.  Which require 5 to 6 Base Planning Objects are required to be created to get the total amount for a single line item, in the construction project there will be more than 10,000 line items and it is very difficult to maintain the data and also it is time consuming.
    Can you suggest me, how to map the requirement?
    Best Regards,
    K. Rajendra Prasad Rao

    You need to check the following for the material cost to appear in network costing:
    1. Check whether costing variant is assigned to the network or not.
    2. Check whether costing relevancy indicator is checked in material component assigned to the network.
    3.  If costing variant exists, check the valuation variant and strategy sequence for material valuation.
    4. Go to the material master and see whether price is mentioned  or not.
    I would suggest you to use Network costing, Also note network costing are recorded in Co version '0' so if you have maintained your ECP for '0' version, there is a chance of both the costing getting added up.
