Activate Profitability analysis

Dear Gurus,
Whnever My SD member is creating the Excise Invoice in J1IIN, thn the message is coming as " Activate Profitability Analysis in Controlling Area". After activating the same the message is coming as " System failure during the locking of the GL account".
The Message no for Profitability analysis is KI144.
SATYA

Have you defined Excise GL code as a cost element in controlling and assigned to PA segment?
In case you do not want to activate COPA, remove the assignment to PA and assign default cost center in case you are not able to delete cost element (t code KA04).

REO Profit. analysis//5 Profitability Analysis

Hi Expert,
I am facing an issue on controlling document, when i do posting in WTY (warraty module) in DBM project (SAP R/3).
My FI doc is posted to correct profit center but when i check on controlling document, it show "REO Profit. analysis//5 Profitability Analysis". Other controlling document will show correct internal order number.
Is this issue related to Profitability Analysis? As i did not activate profitability analysis in DBM ERP.
Please advice is there any configuration i missed out?
Thanks.
regards,
chuan

Hi
This issue arises when category 11 or 12 cost elements are posted w/o a true CO object i.e. you enter only the PC as the account assignment obj for revenues
Make message KI 166 as E in OBA5.. You wont be allowed to post w/o entering a true CO object (Like IO, PSG etc)
As of now, you can modify the CO object using KB61 for the posted docs

Order value fields by field label in the profitability analysis document

Hello,
I am displaying a profitability analysis document and I want to order the value fields by their technical name (VV001, VV002, VV003...) instead of in alphabetical order (the system orders them by the field label).
Is it possible?
Thank you very much
Bea

Hello,
Check in KE4M whether sd condition type FKLMG is mapped corresponding value field in COPA.As you are getting the value for other company codes, this setting should be there.
You can also try checking simulation of billing document transfer through KE4ST. Check the details analysis
thanks

Field catalog in Profitability Analysis

Hi,
In profitability analysis, if we want to use a particular characteristic or value field, then they should be maintained in field catalog.
Could anyone please explain me where we will define this field catalog.
Thanks
Chandra

You need to create the Characteristics and/or Value Fields using transaciton KEA5 / KEA6
Once this is done, assign these to the Operating Concern using transaction KEA0
In this transaction, enter the Operating Concern you need to modify, and then enter the Data Structure in the Data Structure tab. Assign the Characteristics / VFs in this screen (click on the respective tab to access the assignment). Once done, remember to generate the Operating Concern.
If you exit the maintenance screen on saving, the system normally prompts you to Generate the Op Co. Once this is generated, you can use these in your config./ analysis.
Cheers.

Profitability Analysis not generated in Contract billing Document

I have created the Billing document against the contract order but the Profitability Analysis is not getting generated. But any sale order related billing document is created; system automatically creates the Profitability Analysis.
Can you tell me where the problem is or have I missed any steps?
Regards,
Devendra

1) For a service material (DIEN), We are creating an Sales Order (VA01) and doing a order based billing (VF01). In the Sales Order we are giving the plant (no shipping point and storage location as it is a DIEN material).
Once we do the billing we are able to see the Profitability Analysis document.
2) Now we are using the same material we are creating a Contract (VA41) for a period of one year and doing a monthly billing. In this case we are using VF04 for doing the bills that are due.
We are getting two results in this:
a) If we give a Plant in the contract, the Profitability Analysis document is not getting generated at the time of billing.
b) If we do not give any plant, the Profitability Analysis document is getting generated at the time of billing.
Please note that we are using the same material, same pricing procedure in both the above cases 1) and 2). Only difference is that the source documents are different i.e., one is Sales Order and the other one is Contract.
In our copa valuation we have assigned the conditions to value field, no derivation rule assigned.

Devendra

COPA Values in the Profitability analysis for a credit memo request

Hi All,
When I am trying to create an Invoice document for a Credit Memo request having a Configurable material , in the accounting document profitable analysis Profit Center view fields are not getting updated.
If we do the same thing for a reference material profit center view fields are getting updated properly.
What is the problem with the Configurable material.
Thanks in advance,
RajaMahi

I would start fresh with a new sales order. When you create with reference both the return delivery and credit memo are created with reference to the return sales order. Here is an example document flow to clarify:
Document                                      Date               Qty/value   UoM/Cur   Overall proc. status
                                                                                Return 60000077 / 10                          08/25/05               10.000 EA      Completed
. Returns Delivery 500000016 / 10             08/25/05               10.000 EA      Completed
.. GD returns QI 4900030060 / 1               08/25/05               10.000 EA      complete
.. Credit for Returns1 10000017 / 10          08/25/05               10.000 EA      Completed

Exchange Rate in Profitability Analysis Document

How is the exchange rate populated in profitability analysis document?
We have couple of scenarios:
Scenario 1: Credit memo request created without any reference and credit memo is created successfully. Exchange rate populated in the profitability analysis document is the exchange rate which applicable to current date.
Scenario 2: Credit memo request created with reference to customer invoice document and credit memo is created successfully. Exchange rate populated in the profitability analysis document is the exchange rate which applicable to the past date. We dont know how the system picked the exchange rate which does not applicable to the current date.
Any poiniters to this issue?

Account Based Profitability Analysis

Hi,
I am mapping characteristic fields of account based profitability analysis. I have been given fields such as KMLAND to map into BI fields.My question is how do i map the key figures. What fields in account based profitability analysis are key figures, are they value fields? Do i need a list field names of value fields to map it into BI.Some one mentioned something about cost elements.
Thanks
TJ

Hello Tee Jay,
Cost Element is a key field in ECC. That means its char. in BW. What are the infoobjects that you have in your DSO or cube n BI.
Do you have 0COSTELMNT or 0GL_ACCOUNT? If so, then you map Cost element field from SAP to one of the above char. in BW.
By Revenue, do you mean a value field in R/3? If so, it will have to be mapped to key figure in BI.
Hope that helps.

Profitability Analysis for Project and Project Team

Hello Experts,
Need your ideas and expertise to the below business case, could be simple or complicated, please provide some insight.
the business case is like this. 2 specific project teams are available. there can be around 10 projects executed in a year. So in our PS we can have project team allocated to a project. workforce planning is done for the project for effective utilization, it is like 2 projects with 2 teams assigned. till now it is fine. the business calls for that 1 st team is assigned to another project only after closure of the assigned project.
Let us assume P1, P2,...P10 are the projects in a year. Assume T1, T2 are the teams available. Initially T1 is assigned to P1, T2 is assigned to P2.
Business confirms that T1 will be assigned to P3 only after completion of P1. This requirement is also straight. Assume that team T1 has executed 6 projects and team T2 has executed 4 projects.
The requirement is profitability analysis at project level i.e at P1, P2, ...P10 which is also pretty straight. Business requirement is also to have profitability analysis against each team i.e for T1 and T2. it is like each team has a project lead and team assigned under him. based on the expenses and revenue booked against the team, there will be performance evaluation of the team.( assume that P1, P3, P5, P6, P8,P9 are the projects executed by team T1, we need to have revenue and expenses of the said projects to be mapped to team T1 as well), so we have profitability analysis at team level.
Experts, require your advice on how to map the requirement. Is there any possibility to map projects to team rather assigning team to a project. please advice. provide some insight on how do we map the scenario.
Regards,
Murthy

Hello Murthy,
In SAP you carry out Month end closing activities. In order to carry out this activity, you post all period based data on the project. Subsequently data relevant for Profitability analysis can be determined for the given period and then this data can be settled to COPA.
This data can be evaluated in the project information system or in Profitability analysis.
You can check report KE30 for Profitability Analysis.
Refer SAP help for more details

CAPTURING OF COST IN PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS FOR BY PRODUCT

Dear Team,
We had a requirement when standard material cost estimate is executed we can get the standard price for main material as well as by product for which values are flowing to COPA (T.code KE30).
The scenario works fine for Main Product, since the actuals as well as Costs are flowing to COPA. Where as only actuals are posting to byproduct as there are no separate cost estimate for Byproduct.
So only acutals are caputured to Profitability analysis.
At present we are manually changing the price of the byproduct material through MR21 which is constant through out the period.
Our requirement:- Since Byproduct doesnt have any separate BOM and Routing, Is it possible to capture this byproducts price to COPA.
or
capturing of COGS for this byproducts price is also ok.
Please anybody can guide me.
Thanks & regards,
Sandeep

Dear Santosh,
Thanks for your early reply.
It might work, Please elaborate.
Request you to send any document if you have any, since i am new in CO.
it was availbale in my user profile.
Thanks & regards,
Sandeep
