Adding new value fields to an existing and productive operating concern

Hi,
I would like to have 5 new value fields active in 4 out of 6 operating concerns that I am working with.
Is it correct that I could do this one of the following ways:
1. Use a value field that exists already in an operating concern and rename it?
In this case is it necessary to regenerate the operating concern?
Do I transport the change ?
2. Create an entirely new value field, and assign it to the operating concern?
Is it necessary to regenerate the operating concerns in question?
Do I transport the change?
3. Select a value field that is currently in the system but is not assigned to any operating concern eg some kind of SAP delivered value field?  How do I assign it to the op  con? Do I need to re gen the op con?
Which way is the best or is there a 4th option?
Thanks for your help in adviance
Regards
Aisling

Hi,
This note is a catalogue of notes of consulting notes where SAP tell you steps, reports to use and son . If you read them (these notes and related notes) you have the steps, guides, reports that you must use. Better advice. Try a solution with all steps in mind and check it in a quality enviroment. As you know there a lot of things in CO-PA concern (you have your own tables, with your own fields, your reports as KE2Rxxxx, and so on), your secondary indexes, etc.. , the best is try the solution in your Quality Enviroment (a quasi-clone of your production enviroment) and check the results (create SO, invoices, after modifications to check possible problems,...).
Regards,
Eduardo
pd: I forgot. If the size of tables (CE4xxxx, CE1XXXX, ...check them with DB02) are so big, get the opinion of a Basis Consultant. Surely in the before note there notes about this issue.

  • Impact of Addition of New Value Fields in the existing Op. Concern-COPA

    Hi All,
    Want to know the steps of adding new value fields in the existing operating concern in COPA?
    What is the overall impact of addition of New Value fields in the running Operating Concern?
    How do we test the addition of new value fields?
    Is the addition of New Value fields to the running Operating Concern advisable?
    Your support and advice is highly anticipated and appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards

    Ohter details are as follows...
    VALUE FIELDS : Defines the Structure of your Costs & Revenues. (Op. Concern 120 Value Fields) 
    1)     The client requires three new value fields to be created. Value fields for :
    -     Other Airport Charges - International
    -     Cargo Commission Cost
    -     Personal Cost (Direct)
    2)     What are the Steps involved in creation of new value fields? The steps are :
    1)     Before creating new value field we need to check whether we can use already existing UNUSED value fields (There are 62 value fields created for the op concern 1000, in production the value fields TBUL1-L7 i.e. to be used (I assume) screen shot1 provided. My predecessor has used value field VV291, VV292, VV380 original description being TBUL3, TBUL4, and TBUL1. I believe he has changed the description in development client and created a transport request ref screen shot 2)
    2)     You can create new value field thru T-Code KEA6 (4-5 characters beginning with VV) u2013 My predecessor has reused the value fields originally created he has not created new one I believe. please provide give your comments)
    3)     Specify whether this field is for Currency or Quantity (currency defined in attribute of op concern and quantity defined by its own field u2013 unit of measure) u2013 My predecessor has configured the three value fields as Currency.
    4)     Describe how the values in this field are aggregated over characteristics. (SUM, LAS, AVG) u2013 My predecessor has aggregated all the three value fields as SUM and they are in Active status.
    5)     After the value field is created you have to add the value field (active status only) to the operating concern by Editing the Data Structure. (I guess this is done in the next step)
    6)     Assign newly created Value fields to the Operating Concern u2013 T-Code KEA0 (In development client the value fields are assigned to the op concern 1000 refer screen shot 3. In the production client also those three value fields exist (does it mean they are assigned? your comments please.) As they have the original description TBUL3, TBUL4, and TBUL1 refer screen shot 4.
    7)     After the Data Structure is defined you need to activate them. (creates plan vs actual database) u2013 Go to the data structure tab and Choose Activate. The status in dev client is Active with correct description but in the production client it is Active with the OLD description. After addition of the value field you need to regenerate the operating concern. T-Code KEA0 u2013 right?
    8)     Condition Types are assigned to Value Fields? Donu2019t know u2013 T-Code KE45 (I think this is NOT required in our case u2013 Please give your comments)
    9)     Define and Assign Valuation Strategy u2013 Cost assigned to Value fields u2013 T-Code KE4U (I think this is also NOT required in our case)
    10)     Define PA Transfer Structure for Settlement u2013 T-Code KEI1 (This step is crucial u2013 I think I have to to include newly created value fields, but am not aware how to do it and what is the connectivity or what happens after this is done)
    Note: My predecessor has created a Transport Request No# KEDK902167 for the value fields created by him.
    3)     Whether my predecessor has performed all the steps for value field creation? How to test it and check that?
    4)     If yes then,  Do I need to perform additional configuration or can I proceed to transport it to Production?
    5)     What is COPA Allocation Structure & PA Transfer Structure? Where and Why It is used?
    6)     What are the different methods of cost and revenue allocations in SAP?
    7)     I have checked the status of the value fields across clients, It is as followsu2026
         Value Field     Value Field For     Description     Development      Quality     Production
    1     VV291     Other Airport Charges International     TBUL3     Exists      DNE     DNE
    2     VV292     Cargo Commission Cost     TBUL4     Exists      DNE     DNE
    3     VV380     Personal Cost u2013 Direct     TBUL1     Exists      DNE     DNE
    #DNE : Does Not Exist (assumed since the description given to value field is not the same as in development client.)

  • Maintaining operating concern after adding new value field

    Hello,
    I added a new value field to our live operating concern,maintained the data structure throguh KEA0(Maintain operating concern).The changes are transported from Development to Quality,Changes were reflected in Q system.After testing in Q system transports were pushed to production system.The new value field is added to the operating concern. When i check the log for KEA0 in production system it displayed one message like:
    Field VV088 was added to the reference structure
    Message no. KE782.You probably either  changed the operating concern or SAP-EIS aspect, and added the field VV099 to the definition.
    The added a CO-PA value field:
    In this case, the field is added to the definition or the summarization levels. This invalidates all existing levels. Consequently, you need to activate them again and fill them with data.
    In production system maintaining operating concenr or KEAO is only in display mode.Is it needed to regenerate the operating concern once again in production, how to do it. Is the message talking about the KEDV summarization levels.?
    thanks
    rahul

    Hi,
    No no ....KEDV is nothing to do here....that is creation of summarization in CO-PA.
    Since you added new value field you necessarily have to Regenerate the operating concern...
    Use Tcode KEA0...go to Environment tab...there the status of Cross client part  and client specific part both will be in RED....now just click on the Cross client (candle button)...now the system would regenerate the operating concern...once it is over do the same for the client specific...
    Beware when you do regenerate the operating concern no body can enter any transaction in that server since it is cross client table ...hence better do it after business hours.
    Hope this helps!
    Running KEDU with rebuild is relevant only when you already have created summarization and called up the same in the CO-PA report "options" tab. If you did not created the summarization you are nothing to do with KEDU.
    Next: The new value field has to be transported to PRD and hence even in PRD we have to do the regeneration manually.

  • New Value fields created in existing opr struc problem in transport request

    Hi,
    I have created new value fields in existing operating structure but system has now created any transport request for value field creation also for value field activation and later on operating concern generation on development environment.
    What is the other way of doing transporting value field (also activation of same) from Dev to QA?
    Regards,
    Sayujya

    Hi,
    Creation of new value field or characterisitics will not generate any Transport request. Goto transaction KE3I and create transport request.

  • Adding new custom field in already existing custom tab for MM01

    Hello Guru,
    I have a requirement that add a custom field in already existing custom view of MM01. I did the following steps :
    1. I have cerated a new field in MARA using APPEND structure.
    2. I have found the function group(Y_FE_MARA) that already there other subscreens, so that I have added another subscreen in that function group and created a field from MARA in the screen.
    3. in SPRO went for the path Logistics General->Material Master->Configuring the Material->Define Structure of Data screens for Each Screen sequence
    In the 3rd step, I have choosen already existing screen sequence(Y1) and went for Data Screens and choosen for Custom tab and double click on subscreens and then I have added the program as SAPLY_FE_MARA and subscreen number(011) and saved it.
    After all the above steps, I have run MM02/MM03 then the field is not getting displayed in the screen of custom view.
    Did I miss any steps here? Please suggest me if I did something wrong.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Muralikrishna Peravali

    Hi Raymond,
    Thank you for the reply. As per the note some one already implemented the Screen Enhancement with 2 custom views. I need to add the field in any one of existing custom view. So for this I have created a Subscreen in copied function group of MGD1(Y_FE_MARA). But in the function group already 10 Subscreens were created. Is this is the problem? or else copy the FG MGD1 into another FG and create the subscreen will be feasible to my scenario?
    Please suggest me.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Transport COPA new value field

    Hello SAP Experts,
    I have created a new COPA value field. Now i would like to transport the same to Test (Acceptance or Quality) server, can you kindly let me know how can i proceed with this.
    Your inputs are highly appreciable in this regard.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Please read note 131664 regarding the use transaction KE3I to transport operating concern structures.
      In principle you can transport a new value field with a transport of an operating concern - part 'Structures: ABAP Repository objects' in transaction KE3I.
      You need to perform the following steps:
    1. Value field added in source system thro tcode KEA6
    2. Regenerate the environment of operating concern in source system (tcode KEA0)
    3. Transport using KE3I (select: ABAP repository objects)
    4. Regenerate the environment of operating concern in target system.
    Via transaction code KE3I you have the option to transport specific object classes.  If you select 'Structures: ABAP Repository objects' the following settings are transported:
    Cross-client objects in the SAP Repositiory
    - Tables and structures of the operating concern (CE1xxxx - CE8xxxx)
    - Domains and data elements for CO-PA characteristics
    - Master data tables for CO-PA characteristics (without data)
    Cross-client control tables
    - CO-PA field catalog
    - View directory
    Normally we advise customer to add a new value field/characteristic to
    DEV then transport to QAS and then transport to PRD. This ensures that
    the operating concerns in the 3 systems are in sync.

  • Add value field to existing/ productive operating concern

    Dear All,
    I need to create a new value field and add it to an existing operating concern, which is already in use (there is already transaction data in the live system).
    In my opinion I have to do the following steps:
    1. Create new value field (KEA6).
    2. Add value field to operating concern (KEA0).
    3. Activate operating concern (KEA0).
    4. Transport operating concern (KE3I).
    Is that strategy ok?
    Is it ok, to transport an operating concern, when the system is already "live" and there is transaction data in the system?
    Thanks for your answers,
    Regards,
    Michael

    Hi,
    first create new value field in KEA6. then take those new Value field in your operating concern Data Structure in t-code KEA0. Then generate the operating Concern.

    Hi Chandu,
    1.In Infospoke -> General tab -> DataSouce(here infobject - 0BPARTNER).
    2.  Destination tab -> choose radio button(DB Table or Flat file).
    3. Goto tab infoobjects -> select required fields you want to send from left to right.
    4. Give the selection accordingly(here i think PATRNER). But it should be available in your datasouce(Infoobject-0BPARTNER), if you want to give selection on this. I didnt understad what you mean of <b>"hide"</b> in your previous reply. If this is not available in your infoobject(OBPARTNER), How CAN YOU GIVE SELECTION ON THIS attribute...?
    5. Try to add this field in Infoobject(0BPARTNER) and populate.
    6. Trnasformation tab.
       Here you can see Source Structure, Target Structure and Addin implementation.
    Source Structure - system will generate according to the field you selected in InfoObjects tab(You cant change it).
    Target Structure - You can define your own structure if you want or you can modify the generated structure. By default system generates Target Structure same as Source structure(if you want to add any more fields you can add here, but you have to populate those fields with your own coding in BAdi), Which is Addin implementation.

  • New Value Field

    Dear Friends,
    We are planning to add new value field in current copa structure, for this I need know :
    1. As soon as we add new value field current operation conern gets deactivated ?
    2. If there is only one server for development and production then as soon as we create value filed in development, what would be the impcat in production client ?
    3. If server is same than transport of value field is required ?
    4. If required then opernation concern shuld be re-generate after transport ?
    5. If server is same then operating concern has to be regenerated in every client ? i.e. dev, testing, preprod, prod.
    and what ever impact would be in this case and also if we have different server for dev nad product. Kindly let me know about you expert comment.
    If there is any risk while regenerate operating concern, also please let me know.
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Hi,
    Activation of Operating concern has two aspects- Cross client and client specific...  for your questions.. if you have operating concern in the same server it is enough if you activate only client specific one..
    On each change of u r datastructure i.e changes to characteristics and value fields u need to generate.. till then it will be in Inactive mode..
    In terms of different systems generally u can transfer the active operating concern on addition of new value field.  However sometimes it may be required to activate specifically..

  • New Value Field in COPA

    Hi
    I have created new conditions in SD. These have been assigned to a value field which was never assigned to any conditions. Now this KE4I config is moved to test system and I found that values of these conditions are not appearing under new value field.
    Earlier these new conditions were assigned to old value field and those were coming correctly in billing doc. Still these conditions values are appearing under that old value field.
    Am I missing any step ? Please help
    Raj

    HI,
    Billing document value flow is as per KE4I mapping to value fields.
    There are some value flow analysis tools under CO-PA to check your settings with respect to value flows. Use transaction KE4ST (Simulate billing document transfer -> Value flow (<Ctrl +F7>) to check where things went wrong.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi Jayram,
    Thanks for the response.
    Yes I want to either change the mapping for a existing quantity value fields or add another value fields for quantity. I am exploring this 2 options.
    In both cases I want to populate the data for the history records. i.e for the transactions that have been posted till this change.
    Is this possible in COPA.

    Hi All,
    We have 3 revenue value fields and created new value field to capture total revenues for all 3 revenue value fields.
    only new sales orders total revenue value field is populated with revenues.how can we update old sales orders revenue value field information with total value field?
    Revenue A + Revenue B + Revenue C= Total revenue
    Thanks,

    Hi Anu
    KE4S is one option
    Another one is to do KE21n.. but that will be cumbersome.
    You can develop a custom program using Bapi to upload the values automatically
    Last option is to add those values in report manually or using key figure scheme ker1
