Actual and Plan Versions

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could give me a general overview of actual and plan versions.
Points will be awarded generously.
Thanks,
Deki

Versions are nothing but scenarios.
There can be only one Actual, so only one version is available for Actual i.e 0
But the comapny can have different plans on the basis of various business scenarios for example, if they acheive 80% capacity utilisation or achieve break even etc for flexible reporting. This will help easy comparison at the period end.
Hope you are now clear about the versions.
Thanks
Siva

Actual and Plan Versions annual view - Multiple versions per company code

Good Day,
Iu2019m creating an FI-CO query with an annual view of both Actuals and Plan Values, which uses period and version as input values. The dilemma is around the plan versions which are hardcoded per company codes (eg. 1 Company Code = versions 501 u2013 512)
Can anyone suggest a possible solutions as normally there is only one version used for planning but in this instance there are multiple versions per Company Code.
Currently the report is hardcoded for one Company Code and going forward it should cater for more than one(Company Company* 12 Version)
Kind Regards

Remove restriction on comp code. There could be 2 models.
1. Include comp code, value type and version in the rows. This way you get multiple records for a comp code. One record for actual data and one record each for plan versions. To have this model at the query, the data model in the cube also should be in this way (what we call as the account model), multiple records differentiated into actual/plan by valuetype and different versions by version.
2. Include comp code in rows. Create selections, one for actuals (restrict with key fig and value type 10, actuals), one for each plan versions (restrict key fig with value type 20, version 501. Create one selection for each version this way). This way we have one record per comp code with diff key fig for actual and plan versions. We call this as key fig model. To have this model at the query, the data model in the cube could be account model or key fig model. If it is key fig model then no need of selections. The key fig could be taken directly from the cube.

Actuals in Plan Version 0

Can someone explain to me what SAP means by 'actuals' in plan version 0? Is this supposed to mean that the actual postings to a cost center (for example) are copied into this version? This would mean that after a month is closed, the actuals would equal plan?
Thanks in advance

Plan and actual transactions are stored in a single table. For planning, version is one of the essential characteristics, against which the plan values are stored. Though this version does not mean much to actuals, SAP has made it to default to version '0', you can choose any other version also to record actuals against that version. But only one version can be chosen to record the actuals.
Once you have set in the customizing which version shall be activated for the actuals, you never visit that again. It matters only when a report is being developed where you have to call the plan version and enter 0 against that for pulling actuals.
Actual do not become plan because a version is being asked by the system.

PWA 2010 timesheet: 2 different colors for the rows "Actual " and "Planned

Hello,
To make timesheet easier to read and fill, is it possible to have 2 different colors for the rows “Actual “ and “Planned”?
Thanks,
soudha

Hello Soudha,
By default the timesheet grid shows the cells in white color. But if you have little coding skills or a developer at your end, you can try this using "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\JsGrid.js" java
script file.
You may have to modify it but I recommend to take a backup of the file and test in your test environment first.
Happy troubleshooting.....

Tables req: Actual and planned values

Hello Experts,
I would like to create a new zprogram, which will give me output.
Cost element- planned values- actual values-. Day1 actual cost -day2 actual costu2026day31 actual cost.
Can any one tell me in which tables the planned(KP06) and actual data will be stored?

Hi,
Actual and plan values on line item level are stored in COEP. COSP is the table for totals (again for both actual and plan). You distinguish between the two by 'Value type' field.

Actual and Plan Reporting

Hey guys,
as I am familiar with the Query Designer, I'm looking for a way, to select dimension members on rows. Anyway, I don't now how to achieve the following selections:
ACTUAL / APR.2008 -- ACTUAL / MAY.2008 -- ACTUAL / JUN.2008 -- PLAN / JUL.2009 -- PLAN / AUG.2009 -- PLAN / SEP.2009 --
I don't know how to achieve. I can select mimbers 2008 and 2009, and ACTUAL and PLAN...but then the cartesian product is shown.
How to achieve the above mentioned structure?
So far...
Christian

Christian,
   If this is a static report...in the sense that, you do not want to have your plan and actual categories to move with time...i.e next month in Aug , you do not want your actual till july and rest as plan....
this shld be achievable by hard coding the values of your categories...
1)when you open your evdre ..and click on the column headings plan/actual..you see a EVCVW() formula...telling you tht it is being pulled from current view....delete that formula and hard code the value to Actual/plan... and make your colkeyrange NOEXPAND.
But if the above situation is not your case, and you need a rolling forecast scenario...then one of the ways to achieve this is with excel functionality... as previously pointed by subramaniam.... you have to   use the now () functionality to get the month and year and concatenate these (TEXT(NOW(),"mmm") " "YEAR(NOW()))...
and based on the current month you have to define the categories Actual and plans and these have to be maintained   in your excel...and once you have your column headers right and have the colkeyexpansion locked with noexpand....you shld be set...
hope this helps...

CO- Actual and Plan data

Hi gurus,
I am creating a query with actual and plan column and restricting each column with the value type object of actual and plan respectively,but the plan data is not been shown in the columns.
I checked the value type master data and it has the plan and actual inside but when I am trying to restrict with the value type object, it only gives me the actual option and I have to force the plan option to restrict for the plan column.Don't know why it is not showing, cos I am showing it in the master data object for value type.Any help?
Thanks in advance

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for ur quick answer. I already tried that and the problem I have is that no data is coming for the plan column. I checked the Value type master data infoobject and saw both 10 and 20 in there,but when I am trying to restrict with the value type 20 in the query, it does not give me the 20 option.
I also checked the extractor in R/3 and could only see data for value type 10 and not 20, cos am using the datasource 0CO_OM_CCA9.Does that mean my datasource is not extraction data for value type 20 or how can I check for that?
Thanks

Joining Actuals and Planned Work from Project Server

Hi,
I have an SQL based query which returns Actuals and Planned work from Project Server; however a number of records (generally generic resources based on the ResourceIsGeneric column) are excluded. I believe this is because my Actuals query does not return
generic resources as we are joining both sides of the query on ResourceUID. I have included a snippet below - is there a way to join Actuals and Planned work so I can return all Resource data?

Hi,
you pasted just part of your query, e.g. is declaration of @ParamTable missing. Without complete query, it is difficult to see, what you are trying to do.
Could you please provide complete query?

Activity prices in KP26 used for actual and plan in version 0

We plan activity prices via KP26 in version 0. We then plan activity consumption via KP06, and run the plan reconciliation via KPSI.
During the year, we need to update the activity prices used in actual activity allocation. This price also comes from version 0.
When we change the activity price, the planned amounts change also. We are looking for a way to maintain a separate price for actual activity allocation.

Ajay,
Your answer definitely sent me down the right path...thank you!
For other's benefit, these are the steps I took to make this work:
1) set the "Purely Iter. Price" indicator in plan version 0
2) import planning layout 1-N01 from client 000 (OBKF)
3) add planning area "Cctr: Manual actual prices" to planning layout SAPALL (KP34)
4) add planning layout 1-N01 to planner profile SAPALL (KP34)
5) create and run custom program from note 551309 to add cost element field to the input screen in KBK6 (SE38)
6) transport planning layout for planning area "Cctr: Manual actual prices" (OKEX)
Now we can plan a price in KP26, and maintain a different price in KBK6 which is used in the actual activity allocation.
Thanks again,
Linda

Copy the Actuals in Plan version with Incremental Factor

Hi
We have a requirement wherein we want to copy the Actual Figures add the incremental percentage of 3% & then copy to Plan version in Cost Center Planning
Is there any standard fuctionality which help me do this transaction
Regards
Ash k

I haven't tried but think there's this is standard way using revaluation.
Use T Code KSPU and choose menu Extras>Revaluation>Create. Mention the CE's, period and percentage.
In the initial screen select this revaluation, copied over plan values version and execute.

Evaluation Path and Plan version

Hi Experts,
Can anyone please help me understand the concept of Evaluation Path and how the Evaluation path and the plan version settings are used in real time scenarios.
Thanks,
Sindhu.

Hi,
See, a reporting structure, staff assignment, organization structure are all evaluations paths themselves. The relationship between objects is defined.
A lot of standard evaluation paths exist. But in case you dont have the path which meets your requirement you create a new one.
Suppose you want to find out which all Tasks are linked to a job which is linked to a position which reports to an Org Unit
so your evaluation path will traverse Org unit then position then the job then the tasks assigned.
A relationship between an object is also a evalution path
hope this helps
Ajay

Can we use actual and plan data for same cube?

hi friends,
can we use actual data and plan data in same cube in bps.
Thanking u
suneel.

Hi,
Let us take std cube 0SD_C03 where we store billing info,sales order info and delivery info. But still in reporting we can get values without any mismatch in their respective KF. It is possible because of a cahracterstic called Documnet category which gets values in update rule by constant .
Similarly we can have 2 types of data (plan and actual) in a single cube by having different value for a characterstic. Most frequently used characterstics for this are 0VERSION and Value type.
With rgds,

Report for extracting the actual and planned cost from service orders

HI all
we are creating a report in BI for Module - Customer service . LIke , the report is all about how many complaints created in the system and how many completed technically and what is the cost involved for each complaint .
Like we want the comparision between the planned cost and the actual cost .
Now to give the logic to the BI Team for planned cost and actual cost , please suggest the flow of logic or table flow to arrive the planned and actual cost
thanks in advance

Hi Marthand,
I am not sure which datasource your are using. In this case, you can use the 0VALUETYPE to differencitae between th eplan and actuals. Normally Plan which is budget will have value 050 and for actuals will have 010. For costs, you will have one key figure and at the reporting level, you will have the costs restricted by the value type for plan and actual to make comparisons.
Hope this helps.

Srinivas

Actual and Plan Line items

Hi Gurus,
Just want to ask if GLPCA and GLPCP are for P&L accounts only? We have been using KE5Z to analyze the postings of GL accounts. However, we cannot do the same for the balance sheet accounts. Kindly advise if there's a specific SAP table where we can see the actual line items of the balance sheet accounts.
Thanks,
Ellicec

Hello Enzo,
It seems to be that you are receiving Error message GX214 "There are no versions in Customizing that match your selections", although versions are available.
Please ensure that you have implemented the latest version of the note 370299. You can check whether you are using the latest version of the archiving and deletion programs via t-code SE38 -> Utilities -> Versions -> Version Management. The latest version of this note will resolve most problems concerning archiving up to release 46C. Please check very carefully this note.
In addition, please check the following in your system:
At least version 0 has to be maintained in trx. 0KEQ for profit center accounting otherwise no data would be transfered to PCA as actual postings are always transfered to PCA in version 0.
I hope it helps
Best Regards,
Vanessa Barth.
