SPLITTING OF SETTLEMENT RULE

Hi Experts,
I have a specific query regarding settlement of Maintenance Order.
As a standard the settlement rule contains the cost center of the technical object depending on config for release or TECO.
Is it possible to split the settlement on basis of say Labour and Material etc.
I mean cost of Labour should go to a different cost center and similarly for Material Cost.
Regards
Manish

Manish,
Yes it is possible to settle the cost of labor , cost of material to different receivers. You will need to define source structures.Please get the help of the Controlling / FI consultant to do this.Basically you group together a set of cost elements and give a source assignment (Ex: Group all labor cost elements and give it a Lab our source indicator as "01"), very similar to the value category defintion on the PM side.
Once this is assigned to the order type,Then you can either maintain one or multiple receivers for the source type or settle the entire cost to mutiple receivers in the settlement screen.You will see a new field called source assignment/Category where you can pick and choose the source type, the settlement rule line item refers to.
However if you enter a particular source type (Ex: labor) as one of the line items then you would have to maintain a receiver for all the remaining source types otherwise the cost associated to other sources will not be settled.
Some Help info.

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.

Hi ajay,
Thanks for the reply. I am also planning to do the same... but is there any other way for this...
Even While trying to settle to Cost centre, system is not allowing to settle to cost centre for apr 2014. I have already remove the 100% indicator in settlement profile.

Settlement rule generation

Hi all.
I am using line item settlement. using investment projects.
Unable to generate the settelemnt rule for the lower level WBS elements. while settling from WBS to AUC
1. Created project (throught AR) with one one level WBS element (top level), planned cost, released budget, posted actual. now while doing settlemnt, i am able to generate settlemnt rule for top level WBS element automatically and settlemnt is done.
2. Created project (throught AR) with TWO level WBS elements (top level and 2nd level), planned cost, released budget, posted actual and while doing settlemnt, i am unable to settle, as system is asking me to maintain settlemnt rule for the 2nd level.
is there a way to generate settlemenmt rule for 2nd level automatically, as i have mainitained settelemnt strategy 40, to take the settlement rule from superior WBS.
i have checked it with CJB2 also, and it giving an error ORB501.

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.

For internal order settlement rule amount column is requied instead %

Hi Gurus,
For internal order settlement rule percentage is there but business wants to settle from AUC to final asset by amount wise how can we do this.
I tried to change the investment profile but it is coming amount field while saving it is not displaying.
Please help in this regard
Thank you.

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.

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 "

Settlement rule error

Hi,
I am facing as issue while settling costs to internal order. The system is giving warning message "Enter a percentage, equivalence number, or amount"
Diagnosis
You have entered at least one distribution rule which contains neither a percentage nor an equivalence number nor an amount.
Procedure
For each distribution rule, you must enter either a percentage, an equivalence number or an amount.
Alternatively, and depending on the situation and how you want the system to behave, one of the following is possible or required:
You want to enter the percentage, equivalence number or amount later.
You can ignore this warning. However, you should check that the appropriate values are entered before settlement.
You want to enter a percentage, an equivalence number, or an amount. However, the relevant field will not accept input, or is not displayed.
Go to the settlement profile you are using and check that one of "Percentage settlement", "Equivalence numbers", or "Amount settlement" has been switched on. You can find out which settlement profile you are using from the "Parameters" section of the screen in settlement rule maintenance.
(Press F5 to proceed to customizing.)
You receive this message other than in settlement rule maintenance - for example, when saving an order or a WBS element.
Go to settlement rule maintenance and check the individual distribution rules.
This error is coming only from past one week. Any pointers towards the resolution/ or the reasons for the error will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
S.Sumana

Hi,
On further analysis, we found that there was a settlement (in KO03) that took place without specifying percentage or equivalence amount. Is there anything that can be done like reverting the settlement so that this message doesnot appear.

Auto generation of settlement rule for PM orders that are Investment Measur

Hi all
Has anyone successfully automatically generated settlement rules on a PM order that is an Investment measure? The settlement receiver would be an asset. User exit IWO10027 doesn't work. Std settings don't work either because a settlement rule is auto generated for the AUC on the order during settlement (Note 195607) because of IM.
Any ideas?
Thanks
CC

for a PM order as investm,ent measure the system assumes that you wish to create an AuC hence no other settlement rule generation is allowed
you can try by removing the asset class in the IM profile

Capital Project Settlement Rule for lower WBS

Hello,
At my present client, for Investment projects the client want to settle top level WBS to AUC and capitalise it. So ideally the cost from lower level WBS should flow to top WBS. I am using substitution to remove investment profile from lower WBS.My concern is how do I auto populate the settlement rule for lower WBS to top WBS. I am aware about settlement strategy and OSS note 211324 (however dont want to implement this note)
The appraoch I am looking for is using "WBS_SETTLEMENT_RULE' BAdI . However this BADI calls for strategy and I could not maintain the required strategy (settlement to top WBS). Is there some BADI/Function module available which can be called for updating the settlement rules on lower WBS while saving or Release ? Can I make use of exits in Substitution?
Please let me know your opinions.
Thanks
Sarang

Thanks Virendra. I agrree the only approach is development. But I need to give inputs to my developer.
We tried with BADI "WBS_SETTLEMENT_RULE" but it didnt work as it calls strategy in configuration.
So I am checking for some other options for e.g "WORKBREAKDOWN_UPDATE" which is called during save or Fn modules K_SETTLEMENT_RULE_FILL or K_SETTLEMENT_RULE_SAVE which I can use. This is a client requirement to create AUC only at top level n all cost to be rolled up to superior WBS n then settle to AUC.
The other option I was thinking is of using exits thru substitution.
What will be the best approach?
Thanks
Sarang

Automatic settlement rule for receiver 'Fixed asset' (with out IM)

Hi Experts
I am working with project settlement to a fixed asset.
I have defined a selttlement profile in which, FXA is the only valid receiver.
Please note that we do not use Investment managent and hence no automatic AUC.The predefined asset to be used for settlement.
In this situation i am unable to generate settlement rule automatically as like the case with CTR.
The below message is experienced.
"Enter a distribution rule for Asset without a validity limit"
However i have manually maintained the settlement rule with specification of appropriate asset as receiver and settled.
In this scenario, how to ensure that the settlement rule is automatically generated, any where can we refer the fixed asset?
warm regards
ramSiva

Hi,
Settlement rule cannot be automatically maintsined, you have to maintain manually, for example if you want to settle to fixed asset, how the system know to which fixed asset it should settle. You have to maintain settlement parameter manually.

Settlement Rule for Internal Order

Hi All
I have Maintained Settlement rule for Internal order as under
CAT - FXA
Settlement Receiver - Asset
% - 100
Settlement type - Full
Now after settlement of above Order in KO88 . I want again use above internal order. Hence i have trying to put Settlement rule 50% for some anther asset but system gave me following error. Please guide on this issue.
Total = 50.00%, ( Set.Type PER / Version / Actual settlement ), period 010/2011
Message no. KD042
Diagnosis
You have entered distribution rules which settle 50.00% in total. This applies for settlement view ( Set.Type PER / Version / Actual settlement ) in period 010/2011.
When checking the percentage total, the system found one of the following errors:
The total percentage for the distribution rules is more than 100%
The total percentage for the distribution rules is less than 100% and this is a rule for full settlement.
The total percentage for the distribution rules is less than 100% and the 100% check is switched on in the settlement profile.

Hi:
        Please refer to the contents of OSS Note 45612 - IM: pre-settlement does not work, or KD042... which states
"Symptom
    1. If a preliminary settlement rule (for example, to cost center) is entered for individual items of capital investment measures with line item management, this rule is not considered during periodic settlement. There is no settlement to cost centers.
    2. If you enter a final settlement rule for individual line items of investment measures with line item management for a partial capitalization (that is, the percentage rate is less than 100%), then you receive the unjustified error message KD042 "Total percent = xx%".
Additional key words
KOB5, CJ70, CJ88, CJ8G, KO88, KO8G, preliminary settlement, partial settlement, partial capitalization
Cause and prerequisites
    1. You did not enter the settlement type ACT in the preliminary settlement rule.
    You can check this in the Line Item Apportionment transaction by choosing the menu option "Goto" -> "Overview dist. rules" to display the distribution rule groups entered so far.
    The system displays rules which have no entry in the "SetTyp" field (settlement type, field name PERBZ).
    2. The check of the percentages is incorrect.
Solution
    1. Install the following correction. Afterwards reverse the incorrect settlement, re-enter the preliminary settlement rule and settle again.
    2. Install the following correction. Afterwards, you can maintain the settlement rule for the partial settlement.
    Note: If you want to use a default settlement rule (maintaining the settlement rule from the master data maintenance transaction), then you are required to distribute the line items at 100%. In order to carry out a partial capitalization (settlement of less than 100%), you have to use menu path "Actual postings -> Period-end closing -> Settlement -> Line item "
