AIAB Distribution Rule for Settlement Error, "Asset cannot settle to itself"

Hello Everyone,
I have a customer who is getting the "asset cannot settle to itself" error when trying to set up a distribution rule to settle the remaining items of a Line Item Managed AUC to multiple Assets. The Asset numbers and AUC number do NOT match. Here are the steps that have been followed.
Created an Internal Order, #2000####. (1998)
Created the AuC asset. #600####(2011)
Created Settlement Rule (Sender – Internal Order, Receiver - AUC) (2011
Settle Internal Order to AUC.
Create Assets. (2014). #900###1 - #900##99 etc.
Create Settlement Rule (Sender – AUC, Receiver – Multiple Assets) This is where my customer gets the error.
They were able to settle other items from this AuC to Assets last October. It seems very strange to me that the Internal Order was created in 1998 and the AUC was created in 2011 but as I said, this was working at least last October and possibly in March of this year.
Thanks for you help.

Hello Stacy,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but I just had a major implementation go live on the 2nd so I've been rather busy. I opened a ticket with SAP on this and this is what was found.
Joachim from SAP Support explained that the AUC had been settled to itself last year, that is the posting the program was throwing the error on. My assumption is that we were able to settle AUC's to themselves prior to our March upgrade. This explains the problem and we have a resolution. We are transferring AUCs that this has happened with to a new AUC and then settling the new AUC as usual.
I believe SAP fixed a bug that had previously allowed AUC's to settle to themselves in one of the updates but because this AUC had a record from the past where it settled to itself the program was validating old line items and that is why it throws the error.
Ramnik's suggestion was another option but we didn't want to change the message to a warning because we didn't want anyone to settle an asset to itself.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Rick

Got error "Enter distribution rule for Asset without a validity limit"

Hi
I need to make AUC settlement to GL account using t.code AIAB. I have maintained the settlement rule but when I click on check button I got message " Enter distribution rule for Asset without a validity limit". The error msg no. KD059.
Thanks in advance.

Please do the
following. , instead of assigning cost center, assign fixed asset(any asset)
Then go back and click on detach then create your normal rule again at the same
line
The rule is that AUC should have at least one settlements rule for fixed asset
even if it not used

Automatic settlement rule for receiver 'Fixed asset' (with out IM)

Hi Experts
I am working with project settlement to a fixed asset.
I have defined a selttlement profile in which, FXA is the only valid receiver.
Please note that we do not use Investment managent and hence no automatic AUC.The predefined asset to be used for settlement.
In this situation i am unable to generate settlement rule automatically as like the case with CTR.
The below message is experienced.
"Enter a distribution rule for Asset without a validity limit"
However i have manually maintained the settlement rule with specification of appropriate asset as receiver and settled.
In this scenario, how to ensure that the settlement rule is automatically generated, any where can we refer the fixed asset?
warm regards
ramSiva

Hi,
Settlement rule cannot be automatically maintsined, you have to maintain manually, for example if you want to settle to fixed asset, how the system know to which fixed asset it should settle. You have to maintain settlement parameter manually.

Itu00B4s possible to change the Distribution rules for a order type RM01 ??

Hi Experts:
I need to change the settlement rule which is automatic created at the moment that you create a Cost colector (class order RM01) transaction KKF6N..
but when I go into KKF6N transaction and I select the "change" option and after that I go into settlement rule screen, I can´t change the distribution rule.
I would need to change the settlement type from "PER" value to "TOT" value.. It´is possible in this kind of Cost colectors??
Thanks and regards!
Manuel

Hi,
Please note that you will not be able to change manually the settlement rule for a cost collector.
When you save, the system creates a settlement rule for the product cost collector.
The settlement rule for the product cost collector always specifies the distribution rule "100% to material" and the settlement type is always PER (periodic).
Also refer the note 388457 in which one of the paragraph it says "As of Release 4.5, a special settlement rule is generated when you create a product cost collector (with procedure 5: delivery value for product cost collector). You cannot subsequently change this settlement rule".

Distribution rules for Settlement Profile

Hi
I have setup a PM Orders which collect all the maintenance and running cost of vehicles (equipments). I have assigned settlement Profile "Internal Order" with settlement rule "Mandatory for release".
Now when I click settlement rule button in work order, there are two distribution rules PER and FUL both 100% and to same cost centre (which belongs to equipment).
Is this normal to have two distribution rules? will it cause any issues? where can I go to setup distribution rule to just one e.g FUL 100 (just one line), if I have to.
Thanks in Advance.

hi..
1. This is SAto creat two dis rule by default.
2. This will not creat any problem in settlement.
Basic concept is :
A) Maintenance Order settlement rule having 2 lines that is Per & Ful. Peroidic Settlement- in this settlement rule system settle whatever cost occurs upto today & suppose in future if you want to charge some more cost on the same Maint. Order then system will accept it. And when ful or Final settlement runs the rest of the cost will settle to the cost receiver.
B) You need not to delete any line whether this is PER or FUL.Its depends upon the settlement job which is done manually or schedule batch job. Suppose you has created schedule batch job for PER and FUL both. And the schedule frequency of PER is weekly and schedule frequency of FUL is monthly.
I think this will give you some light on this issue.

Delete Distribution Rules For AUC

Hi,
I am wroking on one problem address to me. User haas created 999 distribution rule group for AUC settlement...and getting error message KD803.... Maximum distribution rule group reached.(T code AIAB).. we have implemented note 720619 and 483600 to delete unused distribution rule group.... but I am still not able to delete the same....as I found in programme (Z_SAP_SRULE_DEl_DISTR_GROUPS) it is not supporting assets rule group....
can you please suggest some other way how to delete Dist. rule group.....
Regards,

Hello
If any un used rules are there then only the said programme deleted the rule, if 999 rules are used then it is better to look for other options like transfer the values to another Internal order
Thanks

Error-M2O-Settlement rule for assembly order for item...could not be genera

Hi,
When I am creating Sales Order (VA01) for M2O, I am able to do the costing and copy the EK02 condition type. I have verified the the incompletion log, it indicates that document is complete.
But while saving the sales order, the below error message is displaed:
Settlement rule for assembly order for item 000010 could not be generated. Should the order still be saved?
                Yes/No
1. If No is choosen the following error message is displayed
       Error when processing Production order
      Error when processing Production order
      Message no. V1380
      Diagnosis
        A technical error has occurred. On calling up the assembly interface, exception 5 was triggered. The exceptions have the following meanings:
1 = External block, 2 = General error, 3 = Insufficient data for the interface, 4 = Order was not found, 5 = Update has been rejected, 6 = Final document number for Production order is not issued. Procedure: Inform your system administrator.
2. If Yes is choosen, it is creating Production Order without settlement rule. Able to perform GI & Gr. If I try to enter settelement rule (Settlement receiver SDI - Sales document item) in production order (CO02), the belwo error message is displayed
"Distribution rule for Sales document item can only be created automatically Message no. KD063"
We are using the requierement class with below details:
Reqmts class: ZSO- for M2O
AAC = E, Valuation = A, Settlement profile =SD1, RAKey = 000004, Assembly type = 3.
Settlement profile contain:
Allocation structure, PA structure, Default object type = SDI. Valid receivers: Optional -Sales Order / Prof. seg.
If I make the Valuation field as blank in Reqmts class, there is no error while creating Sales order. And also Settelemnt rule with sales document item as receiver is successfully creating for the production order. Since the Valuation is blank in requirement class, it is Non valuated Sales order stock. All GIs & GR are non valuated
The business requirement is it should be valuated sales order stock and the production varinaces has to be settled to Sales order. Then Sales order has to be settled to COPA.
Need your valuable inputs to meet this requirement.
Let me know if you need any further details.
Thanks in advance.

Settlement Rule for Internal Order

Hi All
I have Maintained Settlement rule for Internal order as under
CAT - FXA
Settlement Receiver - Asset
% - 100
Settlement type - Full
Now after settlement of above Order in KO88 . I want again use above internal order. Hence i have trying to put Settlement rule 50% for some anther asset but system gave me following error. Please guide on this issue.
Total = 50.00%, ( Set.Type PER / Version / Actual settlement ), period 010/2011
Message no. KD042
Diagnosis
You have entered distribution rules which settle 50.00% in total. This applies for settlement view ( Set.Type PER / Version / Actual settlement ) in period 010/2011.
When checking the percentage total, the system found one of the following errors:
The total percentage for the distribution rules is more than 100%
The total percentage for the distribution rules is less than 100% and this is a rule for full settlement.
The total percentage for the distribution rules is less than 100% and the 100% check is switched on in the settlement profile.

Hi:
        Please refer to the contents of OSS Note 45612 - IM: pre-settlement does not work, or KD042... which states
"Symptom
    1. If a preliminary settlement rule (for example, to cost center) is entered for individual items of capital investment measures with line item management, this rule is not considered during periodic settlement. There is no settlement to cost centers.
    2. If you enter a final settlement rule for individual line items of investment measures with line item management for a partial capitalization (that is, the percentage rate is less than 100%), then you receive the unjustified error message KD042 "Total percent = xx%".
Additional key words
KOB5, CJ70, CJ88, CJ8G, KO88, KO8G, preliminary settlement, partial settlement, partial capitalization
Cause and prerequisites
    1. You did not enter the settlement type ACT in the preliminary settlement rule.
    You can check this in the Line Item Apportionment transaction by choosing the menu option "Goto" -> "Overview dist. rules" to display the distribution rule groups entered so far.
    The system displays rules which have no entry in the "SetTyp" field (settlement type, field name PERBZ).
    2. The check of the percentages is incorrect.
Solution
    1. Install the following correction. Afterwards reverse the incorrect settlement, re-enter the preliminary settlement rule and settle again.
    2. Install the following correction. Afterwards, you can maintain the settlement rule for the partial settlement.
    Note: If you want to use a default settlement rule (maintaining the settlement rule from the master data maintenance transaction), then you are required to distribute the line items at 100%. In order to carry out a partial capitalization (settlement of less than 100%), you have to use menu path "Actual postings -> Period-end closing -> Settlement -> Line item "

Settlement rule for order

hi co guru sir....kindly guide me to maintain settlement rule for production order. steps by steps..plz..
problem is this when i create planned order to production order ..first screen open for maintain settlement rule...i have maintained..but may be wrong...
plz guide me for maintain the settlement rule........
thanx

Hi,
Settlement rule determines which portion of the costs on a sender should be settled to which receiver(s).
You need to create a settlement rule to settle the actual costs of a sender object. The settlement rule contains the distribution rules for the sender.
Structure: The settlement rule contains:
- One or more distribution rules
- The settlement parameters for a sender object.
Creating a Settlement Rule:
You previously had to maintain the settlement rule for internal orders manually. Now the system can automatically generate settlement rules for internal orders.
Procedure:
1) Choose Settlement rule in the master data maintenance for the relevant sender object.
The Maintain Settlement Rules: Overview screen appears.
If you stored a default for account assignments in the settlement profile then the system displays the existing distribution rules. The settlement receiver is the object type you stored as an account assignment default in the settlement profile.
You maintain settlement rules in Customizing under Controlling -> Internal Orders -> Actual Postings -> Settlement -> Maintain Settlement Profiles.
2) Choose Edit -> New rule or enter the value directly.
Specify how the sender object costs are to be settled to the various settlement receivers:
- By percentage
- By equivalence numbers
For distribution rules of the same settlement type (periodic or total) you need to determine the portion using either percentage rates or equivalence numbers.
Specify the settlement type for each distribution rule.
The system defaults the settlement type depending on the receiver, for example PER for cost center, FUL for fixed asset. You can overwrite the default value, if required. When you save the sender object, you automatically save the settlement rule.
I hope it will help.
If helpful, please assign points.

Stastical Order CB was Deselect;
These are the things i maintained even though it shows the following Errors;

    Message no. KD059
2. Enter a distribution rule for Cost center without a validity limit

Actually my doubt is where we have to maintain the Validity Limit? In Settlement Profile or where?

Settlement rule for Network activity

hi,
in my project, settlement rule of network activity is automatic to the superior WBS.. however i noticed that the default settlement rule is FUL.. is it possible to make setting such that the default settlement rule would still be to the superior WBS but it is PER (periodic settlement insted of full)
how to do this?
thanks in advance.

see OSS note 317871
Summary
Symptom
When you create a network or a new network activity, the respective settlement rules can be generated automatically by default. In the standard system, default rule PS1 is currently supported for this. This default rule creates a settlement rule for the full settlement.
A default rule for the generation of a settlement rule for periodic settlement does currently not exist.
Additional key words
CN21, settlement rule
Cause and prerequisites
At present, the function is not supported in the standard system.
Solution
The attached program creates a corresponding new default rule PS2 which generates a periodic rule. In Customizing, you can assign this default rule to the affected network types afterwards.
It is planned to include this default rule in a future release in the standard system.

VA88 - Error list of settlement run displays irrelevant sales orders

Hi All,
This is a problem relating to transaction VA88 for settlement of sales orders into COPA. The error list of the settlement run is unnecessarily long since it also includes old, irrelevant sales orders that have no postings since the last VA88 run.
'Old' sales orders without recent postings on them are considered in the settlement run despite having the indicator "check trans. data" switched on in the VA88 selection screen.
What could be the reason???
Ideally, system should ignore the irrelevant sales orders (those without any transactional postings since the last settlement) if we select the "check transactional data" option in the VA88 selection screen
Any suggestions, thoughts, solutions would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Soumya
Edited by: Soumya Bhattacharya on Mar 17, 2009 10:42 AM

Hi Soumya
Please see below. Transaction data checks are not made in the following situations, even
if the indicator is set:
1. The sender has a results analysis key, and an accrual calculation
    was already executed. In Customizing for accrual calculation, line
    item updates are not active for a version relevant for settlement.
2. The sender has a variance key and variances have already been
    determined.
3. The sender is a capital investment measure and has the technically
    completed status. Alternatively, the sender is an investment measur
    and the settlement was started with processing type 3.
4. The settlement rule was changed since the last settlement.
5. There is a valid distribution rule for fixed amounts.
6. Both a periodic distribution rule and an overall distribution rule
    have been defined for the settlement of costs with the same origin,
    and only the periodic distribution rule was used for the last
    settlement.
Basically you should see if any of these scenarios exist in your case. Item no. 6 looks like the most probable cause. Please check them again.
Hope this helps. Let me know.
