Actual Settlement: Sales Orders

Hello Friends,
Please let me know to achieve this:
Transaction VA88 is used to run settlement for sales orders at the month end. Our requirement is to replace the receiving account (the COGS - cost of goods sold account) based on some criteria.
Any idea? Please help!
Thanks,
Sam

Hi Murali,
I just already solved this problem. The solution was: KEDR->Edit->Chose-> Definition->Target Fields->Details-> Overwrite with new value even this new value is initial.
However, thanks very much for your attention.
If you can, please help me with my another problem: "Differences between the CO operational results and FI"
Best regards,
Mary Jane

How to settle sales order to CO-PA

Hello all:
1. create sales order , on item level has settlement rule to PSG:CO-PA
2. in sales order click COSTING button (calculator button) to put in cost estimate
3. KB21n to record actual time for activity
4. VF01 to generate billing
5. in my billing no CO-PA document generate?
=> what is transaction to settle my cost and revenue to CO-PA ?
=> I have try VA88 but message KD256 There are no accrued amounts; settlement is not possible."
pls advise any additional step to do before I can run settlement and what transaction is the right one to do settlement of sales order.
Best Regards,
Manthana

Hi,
Check if there is a result analysis key associated with the sales order. The result analysis should be done before the settlement. This posts the accrued values to table COSB and the settlement reads this values from COSB to execute the settlement. Read note 179533.

Settle Sales order to cost center?

hi all,
is it possible to setlle a sales order (delta between revenue and costs on the sales order) on a cost center?
I know I can allow in the settlement profile to settle on a cost center - but does it makes sense?
I know normally the sales order is settled to CO-PA, but actually we do not use CO-PA.
--> What could/should then happen to the revenues and cost on the sales order? Remain there?
One idea is to maintain the settlement profile "not to settle".
Any ideas or experiences how to deal with this situation/settings?
Thx in advance

Dear Friend,
I was researching on the same issue. The Sales Order can be settled to the Financial Accounts and you may check the detailed SAP document in this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/90/ba81d2446711d189420000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Though it is quite late reply, let me know if this serve any purpose.

Sales order settlemet-VA88

Helow Gurus,
Where we assign settlement profile for sales order settlement in T.code VA88 ,
Because, when I execute T.Code VA88 for Actual settlement:sales order systems gives the message "Create settlement cost element for receiver category type PSG "eventhough i have created and assigned settllement cost element for receiver type PSG in T.Code OKO6.
If u need amy clarification from this ,please get back to me.
Please treat it as an Urgent
Warm Regards,
Kumar.D

Hi, Kumar,
The linkage is as following.
In SO item, you have material and item category, which can determine proper requirement type and is maintained in IMG. You can configure the rule how material MRP strategy or item category + material MRP type determine the requirement type. And in OVZH and OVZG, you define requirement type and requirement class. The last step is to set default settlement profile in requirement class.
The related configuration is at "IMG->CO->PC->CO OBJ->PC by SO->Control of Sales-Order-Related Production/Product Cost by Sales Order"
The online help for this part is clear enough.
For previous settlement, you can view it individually in VA88. In the menu, you can find previous period settlement button.
Good luck!

RA Category for Sales Order Actual Settlement

Hi,
During production order settlement for WIP we run in every month end. Generally in tcode OKG8 (Posting Rule in WIP calculation and Result Analysis) we use RA category WIPR(Work In Process with Requirement to Capitalize) which is used production order settlement for WIP. We have done production order settlement and successfully value posted to WIP settlement gl account because in OKG8 WIPR is maintained against P&L and B&S account. After that we have done Result Analysis for Sales Order through KKA3. Value has posted to various objects under Result /analysis. Now we need to run Actual Settlement for Sales Order. In case of Sales Order Costing what should be its RA catergory for Actual Settlment : Sales Order settlment which is run through VA88.
Best Regards,
Samrat Roy

Dear Waman,
In OKG8 posting rule WIP calculation against RA category is maintained as WIPR with P&L and BS gl account. Uner Result Analysis valuation method against RA Key for Sales Order is maintained as PREL, REL, DLV, FNBL and TECO. Production order settlement has done and value has posted to WIP gl account and Quantiy has issued for delivery and billing. After the Sale billing I have done KKA3 which is Result Analysis for Sales Order. Value has posted to Sales order wip, Actual Revenue, Actual Cost, Cost of Sale, Revenu affecting net income, Planned revenue, planned cost, Planned profit and loss value shows. After that I have run VA88 and sales order wip value has posted to wip gl accounts which is set in OKG8 both P&L and BS gl account which same gl is used for production order settlment also and I created Sales Order settlement rule which is receiver in GL accounts. That GL is external settlement GL account. That external settlment receiver gl is same as sales order settlment profile's allocation structure GL. So during final sales order settlment same gl is debited and credited of calculated profit.
But I have some doubts which I requires as per business. I need Revenue Surplus(POCS), Reserve Unrealized Cost(RUCR), Revenue in Excess Billing(POCI) and variance from Result Analysis(VARR). I wanted to set this RA category in OKG8 but system does not allow me which says alrady WIPR is maintaied and value posted to result analysis. So I need to deactivate first then new RA key can be introduced..
Also I would ask you after production order settlement for wip, shall I run wip for Sales order and Sales Order settlement. or I need to to pas customer delivery and final billing. After billing I need to run WIP on sales order and sales order settlement. Basically I will run two times WIP which are production order and sales order. Our business sceanrio consists of one sales order with 29 prouction and its corresponding 29 wip which will be finally settled to Sales order external settlment gl account.

Order Settlement (Ko88) Vs. Sales Order Settlement (VA88)

We would like to know what are the advantages and disadvantages of Production Order Settlement versus Sales Order Settlement.
What are the benefits between one and the other?
Please advice,
Thanks in advance,
Rio

Hello,
Thank you for replying.
We are an MTO Semiconductor manufacturing shop, High volume. somewhat repetitive but not frequent.
We have two clients:
Client 1 - Uses Standard Costing and Settles Production Orders to the Material itself.
Client 2 - Uses Actual Costing and Settles Production Orders to Sales Orders (automatic) then Settles Sales Orders to Profitability Analysi.
I'm hearing SAP does not recommend the process from Client 2 "Sales Order Settlement" because of the high volume of sales documents. still can't confirm this.
I would like to find out the following:
What are the Pros and Cons of Production order Settlement vs. Sales Order Settlement.
What are the reasons why one type of settlement is chosen over the other?
Also, I found some data from SAP Labs which relates to an Old Version of SAP, so I would like to know if this process is still current with Version 6.0
"...Settlement of the production order to the sales order is normally not required. The sales order item automatically picks up the cost incurred on the production order.
The production order must only be settled when:
- The production order is in a different company code than the sales order.
- The production order is a collective order
The sales order product cost processing will only pick up the cost on the top-level of a collective order, so the costs of the lower-level production orders must be settled to the highest level of the collective order..."
Please advice,
Rio

Error While doing settlement for Sale Order in MTO scenario

Hi,
In MTO Scenario - when i try to settle Sales Order i am getting the below error. Even i have maintained the settlement cost element for PSG in allocation structure A1.
Kindly help me
Define a settlement cost element for receiver type PSG
Message no. KD506
Diagnosis
In allocation structure A1 (controlling area BP01), you did not define which cost element should be used when settling costs/revenues of the sender. Nor did you define receiver type PSG.
Procedure
Assign a different allocation structure to the settlement sender (-> Master data -> Settlement rule -> Goto -> Settlement parameters), or maintain allocation structure A1.
Thanks
Kishore

Hi
Please check your allocation structure , it looks that settlement cost element that you have assigned in the allocation strcuture is not having correct cost element category.
Go to Allocation structure configuration (OKO6) and check your allocation structure A1.
check settlement cost elements is it by cost element or you have assigned separate cost element for settlement.
if you wants to settle with same cost element select By cost element.
if you wants to settle with different cost element create a cost element and assign settlement cost element.

Settlement Rule for service order created based on sales order

Hello,
I am creating a sales order and entering WBS as an cost object.
After creation of sales order the Service order is created.
For service order type in the settlement profile WBS is maintained.
But the system is not copying the WBS in Service order which is maintained in sales order.
Can any body have an idea on this?
Regards
Abhijit

Hi,
As far as my understanding when service order is created through sales order then settlement rule is SDI and its item number
Not what you maintained in account assignment tab of sales order
When you settle service order then cost will settle on sales document and its item and then latter you settle sales order then settlement receiver is WBS element which you maintained in account assignment tab

Settlement of Debit and Credit Memos of Sales Orders

Hi,
Do we Settle Credit/Debit Memos while settling Sales Orders as a Part of Month End Procedures, What should we do if we need to settle them.
Thanks
Sivaram

Hi Madhu, did u find the solution to this problem you posted please reply as soon as you can
The value from a condition is posting to the same side of GL account in credit and debit memos.
e.g., the value of 100 from condition x is bebiting GL a/c 100 and crediting GL a/c 200 in debit memo in accounting document. In credit memo the value from this conditon should credit GL a/c 100 and debit GL a/c 200, but system is crediting and debiting the same GL a/c as in debit memo.
Thanks

Change in item category and settlement of old sales order not possible

Hi
I have to settle sales orders in VA88 and transfer data to COPA. I want to do directly without result analysis. So, in the item category, I removed the result analysis key. And the settlement goes thru.
My issue is that there are orders in July 2010 which have to be settled, but it does not work since the changes in item category has happened this month in Aug 2010 and the July sales order are also invoiced.
Pl suggest a solution to settle the July sales order to COPA.
Thanks
kamala

Hi Kamala
I see only one possibility... The old sales order consists of some GL accounts posted in it which is not mapped in the allocation structure...
Alloc Str has 2 parts - i.e. One, it consists of a group of cost elements it has to handle and Two, it consists of the valid settlement receivers like PSG, CTR, etc
You say, this alloc str works well with new sales orders.... The 2nd part of alloc structure (i.e. valid receivers) applies equally to all sales orders.. But what can really differentiate the 2 sales orders is the cost elements posted on it...
I dont foresee any other posslbe reason

Product Costs by Sales Order - Settlement Options?

Hello All -
I am trying to understand if I need to settle to a sales order (SDI) or directly to material (MAT) or to COPA (PSG).
If i look at my sales order, it has item category ZPSF, which product costs by sales order configuration shows a requirement class ZKE. ZkE has a valuation of M, which means separate valuation of reference to sales document/project.
Does this mean I need to settle to sales order first?
Then i run vA88 to settle sales order to copa?
if ZKE valuation is blank, does that mean its not valuated? I have read on other sap help pages that means it is valuated. Please clarify.
also, when does one directly settle to MAT? what scenarios? this confuses me.
Thanks!
Emmas

I'll give this a try. When working in a make-to-order environment there are 2 settings in the requirments class that you must consider in determining how to settle the costs (and maybe the revenue as well). The first setting is the account assignment category. In the standard system "E" is used to designate the sales order as a cost collector. "M" is used to if you don't want the sales order to be a cost collector. Whether the sales order is a cost collector or not will determine your settlement options.
The second critical field is the valuation setting. If you set it to "M" then the stock assigned to the sales order will be valuated (by valuated I mean that once the goods are produced they will be held in inventory as sales order stock with a value). If you leave the valuation field blank then the stock assigned to the sales order will be held in inventory without a valuation.
If the sales order is not a cost collector then the cost to manufacture the order will be collected in your production order and the settlement rule for the production order will be to the material you are producing. Since the material has a valuation, the costs collected in the production will be reduced by the material's valuation once it is received into finished goods inventory. Any remaining costs are settled to wip or variance based on the production order's status and the RA key and variance key settings.
If you have set the sales order as a cost collector then the production order costs can either settle to the finished material or to the sales order. If you are using valuated sales order stock you would normal have the costs settle to the material and the production order would behave very much like the previous example. If you are not using valuated stock then you would need to settle the costs to the sales order and all the production costs would accumalte in the sales order.
If you are using the sales order as a cost collector than you will probably want to settle the sales order as well. During the sales order settlement you have the option of settling the cost and revenue assigned to the sales order to COPA. The settlement profile along with the RA key assigned to the sales order controls how these are settled.

How to post sales quantity to COPA in sales order settlement?

Hi All,
I am facing one problem while sales order settlement. I am settling sales order to COPA (PSG) and while settlement I am not getting sales quantity in COPA.
Other value fields like Revenue(ERLOS), Cost (VRPRS), Discount etc. are getting posted properly into the COPA.
I have done the configuration in PA transfer structure for above settlement. Please advice if anyother setting is missing.
Thanks & Regards,
Yatin

Thanks for reply,
SD Qty.field 'FKIMG'(Invoiced Quantity) has been assiged to COPA value field 'ABSMG' (Sales quantity) in KE4M.
Valuation strategy is also assiged to SAP standrad qty.field ABSMG(Sales quantity).
I have also assigned value field ABSMG(Sales quantity) in PA transfer structure.
Still I am not able to get the quantity field in sales order settlement to COPA.
Please advice if anyother thing needs to check.
Thanks & Regards,

Open Sales Order Balance incorret

Dear All,
When you copy a Sales Order to an AR-Invoice and then increase the line quantity on the AR Invoice, the Open Sales Order Balance on the Business Partner Master Data shows a negative amount.
E.G.
Sales Order 10 Chairs @ R1000 = 10000 (Open Sales Order balance in bp master = 10000)
Copy to AR Invoice
AR Invoice 12 chairs @ R1000 = 12000 (Open Sales Order balance in BP maser = -2000)
When subsequent sales orders are added their is a - 2000 diff between the Sales order balance and actual open sales orders.
Can you please tel me how to correct this.
Best regards
Erika

Hi,
Please run the Query from the Note no. : 999124 and check whether the item in the sales order appears in the results obtained.
If yes then you need to log a support ticket to get your issue investigated.
