Actual use of assessment cycle group

Hi All,
I want to understand the actual purpose of a cycle group. Is it used to group cycles so that we can execute all the cycles under the group at once in the KSU5 t.code? If yes then how can i execute the cycle group in KSU5 because i cannot find an option to execute the cycle group?
Thanks in advance.

hi..
   Your understanding on "Cycle run Group" is not correct. You can't run any group in KSU5 as by default it is defined under "No parallel group". You can select individual cycle as multimple selection line and execute at a time.
  Now What is "Cycle run Group" : As per SAP standard "0000" is defaulted for "No parallel run" that means You can not use this cycle for other company.
  You can creat "Cycle run Group" at the time of creating cycle and  youu can use cycle run groups to allow the cycles for an allocation type to run parallel. But SAP does not recomend this at all.
I think you are clear on this issue.

  • How to check actual CO-PA assessment cycle result

    Hello everyone!
    I understand cycles as the programs used to transfer data from FI to CO. It selects FI postings by cost center and primary cost elements (GL codes) then to secondary cost element and value fields in CO.
    Now my question is, how do I check if the transfer of a particular GL code (primary ce) to the secondary ce or value field is correct? Considering that a single secondary ce in our system contains assessments from a lot of GL codes (primary ce).
    Appreciate any good feedback!
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
       The best way to check this is to check all costs on the cost centers and see if all the cost are settled to CO-PA. (e.g. compare all cost (primary cost element) to the allocated 2nd cost elements.) And you can also check all the documents (CO) generated when you successfully execute the cycle.
    best regards,

  • Assessment cycle  - how do retain a certain amount with the sender and allocate the balance

    Hello,
    This is the scenario
    We currently use an assessment cycle to allocate some administrative costs from an admin cost center  to a few select cost centers.
    Let's say admin cost center is X
    Total plan cost for a period for X is $100
    Total plan allocation is 70% of $100.
    $30 of plan value will remain in the cost center X as a non-allocable plan cost
    Let's say actuals for X for a period is $120
    I would want to retain exactly $30 as the non-allocable value with X and allocate everything else that was actually posted.
    So I want to allocate only $90 to other cost centers.
    How can i set up this logic in an assessment cycle?

    Hi
    I see two possible ways
    1. Custom program using standard BAPI
    2. Use SKF, where
    Sender = CC X
    Receiver = CC X, Y and Z
    Receiver tracing factor - SKF
    Skf qty will be 30 for X, 40 for Y and rest for Z. Skf qty of 30 for X will remain same every month

  • Assessment Cycle for Planned Cost

    Hi,
    I have production cost centers and dept cost centers for which cost center planning has been maintained in KP06. I have maintained assessment cycle for planned costs with planned skf. When I run the cycle, system is apportioning the costs based on the factors maintained.
    However on execution, without test tun, the system is posting the costs to the receiver cost centers as Actual Costs and not Planned Costs..
    Can anyone tell me what is the reason?

    Hi,
    Have you created ur assessment cycle in T.Code: S_ALR_87005540 - Define Assessment for Plan cost (or) S_ALR_87005742 - Define Assessment for Actual cost.  Assessment cycle execution t.code. KSUB for Plant cost posting. and KSU5 for actual cost posting.
    If you define cycle in S_ALR_87005540, Please check have u select Plan (or) Actual Radio button
    Thanks

  • Distribution criteria list in Assessment cycle takes time

    Dear Peers,
    When I click the tab 'Receiver Tracing factors' of the COPA Cost Center cycles, a dialog 'Distribution criteria list' which asks for one more selection for confirming the receiver parameters. After selecting all of them, it takes very long time but in vain.
    In my case, I want to allocate the selling overheads on the basis for those products with particular batch, say, which starts with say '1' by giving the range as 1AAAAAA TO 1ZZZZZZZ. This '1' denotes one of the manufacturing plants. Hence, I want to pick up the batches which have been sold across the company code in other plants as well as in depots numbering 100+. I had already created  the summarization levels and now I had refreshed it but it has no effect on it. Do we need to create seperate summarization level manually for this and how? Is there any thing other than summarization, we need to do?
    Regards,
    Ashok singh

    Hi Ashok
    Summ levels can be used in Assessment cycles... Your "Distribution List" tab might take time to finish...
    However, I would ask you to assess your req once again... This level of allocation is more likely to cause performance issues
    however, if no of docs in COPA is not much, then you need not worry
    What worries me is that you cant use non-segment level chars as receivers in COPA assessment cycle.. have you specified BATCH No as segment level char in KEQ3? If yes, please undo it.. Else, you are going to face a nightmare situation

  • I want to know how many minutes were used last billing cycle for calling

    my daughter has been calling out of state a lot recently.  i want to know previous statement minutes and it also mentioned that out of area calls may not show up on bill right away. so how many minutes has she actually used this billing cycle?

    If you are the account owner, you can go online and view the usage for each line on your account.  For calls, you can go back 12 months and see the history.
    If she made the calls from your home area, then there should be no delay in them showing up on the bill. The delay comes if the phone is out of the home area and roaming; sometimes the information from the roaming towers takes more time to reach Verizon  computers.  Your question wasn't clear if she was simply calling an out of state number, or if she was out of state and making calls.

  • COPA Assessment Cycle using KEU5 for multiple controlling areas

    Hello All,
    There is an organization with operations in several countries. There is a separate controlling area for each country. There is one controlling area, for instance, for Germany and another for Netherlands.
    A problem is encountered while executing transaction KEU5 for multiple controlling areas in parallel. For instance, when one user from Germany executes KEU5 for an assessment cycle for Germany controlling area and at the same time another user from Netherlands tries to execute KEU5 for a cycle for NL controlling area, the user from Netherlands encounters an error message u201C'Cycle XXXX 01.02.2008 cannot be started because run group 0000 is locked'.
    Apparently SAP allows assessment cycles for exactly one controlling area to be executed together. This poses a problem since the organization plans to implement SAP in several other countries (There will be one separate controlling area for each country as per the organization structure adopted by the company).
    Any ideas, views or suggestions on the aforesaid issue would be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Soumya

    Hi Soumya,
    Did you find any text in SAP Documentation saying that "SAP does not allow cycles belonging to different controlling areas to be executed at the same time"...?
    Pls find the following text from SAP Help...
    Parallel Processing of Cycles of an Allocation Type
    Use
    Parallel processing of cycles results in considerable time savings. To process cycles of one allocation type in parallel, they must be assigned to different cycle run groups.
    You define the cycle run groups in the cycle header data. You also assign cycles to the cycle run groups in the header data.
    To process the cycles of a cycle run group in parallel, start the cycles one after the other, if required, in different sessions.
    You are carrying out a cross-company code cost accounting and want to perform the actual assessment in the individual company codes in parallel. Create a cycle run group for each company code and assign the appropriate cycles to these groups. You can then carry out the actual assessment in the individual company codes in parallel.
    When you execute a cycle, you can start a consistency check. The system checks whether you are allowed to execute the selected cycles in parallel.
    Though I didn't come across such requirement, I feel, my earlier suggestion will work out...

  • Cost center Group & Assessment cycle

    We are running CC reports for CC groups X and Y - Report GR55, Report group 1000 - Run in both currencies Pesos and USD by running in both currency modes.
    Requirement:
    1) How can we see the net balance in CC reports after assessments out = 0 in both Pesos and USD currencies.
    2) Where we can see the link between Cost center Group and Assessment cycle.
    Thanks,
    Raju

    Hi,
    1) You will see the credit entries in the report after the assessment is run. Here, report should have configured in such a way, you can see both debit and credit entries.
    2) If you have assigned the KSB1 Actual cost line report to the report, you can doubte click and see from which cost centers the values have flown through assessment.
    Trust this helps much!
    Cheers!

  • Problem in Actual assessment cycle.

    Hi Team,
    We are using assessment cycle to distribute the cost from utility cost center to production cost center, after cycle execution we found the cost in debit side of the production cost center with assessment cost element. And also we are using the substitution is that the cost which is coming on the assessment cost element will flow to FICO reconciliation GL. We created 5 sets of assessment cost element groups( depreciation secondary cost element group, Admin OH, Store spares, Salary wages & power & Fuel) which  correspond to five 9 series reconciliation accounts.
    The 5 reconciliation GLu2019s are as follows:
    1. Depreciation                90102003
    2. Administrative overheads     90102004
    3. Store spares.                90102005
    4. Salary & wages                   90102006
    5. Power water & fuel.            90102007.
    After assessment cycles when FI team runs the transaction F.01 for the above GLu2019s the cost is appearing. Which is the consolidated cost which is distributed from utility cost centers is there any way to get the primary cost element wise breakup of the above five heads. This is the requirement raised by the FI team kindly advice.
    Regards,
    Ravi.

    Hi Ravi,
    have you come up with any solution?
    I have found, we can use substitution rules in New GL- CO reconciliation to fix assessment issue. In fact, we have to maintain multiple substitution rules or table to get correct P&L by primary cost element. This is pretty much possible.
    My issue is, we are using COPA. COPA dont have distribution option.
    Let me know if anyone has better option than substitution. because I don't want to loose my primary cost element information.

  • Actual assessment cycles does not work

    Hello.
    I have a problem with actual assessment cycles.
    I use KSU5 to run one cycle and when I run it in test mode it says that there is a sender and a receiver and that there are no errors, but when I run it without test mode it says that there are no senders nor receivers and no errors appear
    Which could be the problem?
    Thanks a lot!!

    Hi,
    Try these following things :-
    a. Change the Receiving tracing factor in the header of the cycle from variable to fixed perct.
    b. Check whether GL is assigned in Tcode OK17.

  • Function create actual assessment cycle EC-PCA

    Dear experts!
    Now, I'm getting some issue about create actual assessment cycle EC-PCA. Really, I want to know the function that create actual assessment cycle EC-PCA (t.code 3KE1).
    Help me, Please.
    Best regards, Huy.

    Hi,
    You are mixing things. 9KE0 is used to post PCA documents - nothing to do with assessment cycles. You could use BAPI_PCA_BELEG_SAVEREPLICA function for this. There is no function/BAPI to create assessment cycle (3KE1).

  • Group Assessment cycles

    Hi Gurus,
    Is it possible to create Group Assessment cycles and run them together at month-end?
    We are on SAP 4.7C.
    Pls reply.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I would re frame the question, the requirement is to run multiple assessment cycles together, when you go to an assessment cycle in KSU5, and on the top goto Extras --> Cycle --> Cycle run groups, you get the group the cycle belongs to. I can also create a group and assign multiple cycles to this group similar to a Cost Center Group.
    Now is there a method I can run this cycle groups at once.
    Thanks.

  • Assessment Cycle Receiver Group

    Hi,
    I have created Product Group in Receiver Tab in CO-PA Assessment Cycle. Here I want to automatically add Products to Product Group whenever new products are introduced as the volume of creating new products are more. Pls suggest

    Hi Varsha,
    As you know how to create a set (group) for product, there why don't you create a group (set) with a sequence of expecting future (from ---- to) eg: 1 to 999999999 or A to ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, so that when you add a new product, which we will be added into your receivers in KEU2 also.
    As you posed a question I tried with profit center group and it worked fine.
