Allocation Cycle

Dear Experts ; I like to know why all costs not credited in distribution cycle whish I defined as follows :
No Currency Change Occured ;
Sender rule : Posted Amount ;
Share in % : 100 % -> Plan Values ;
Receiver rule : Variable Portion ;
Var.portion type : I Checked more than 3 option
Scale Neg. Tracing Factors :No scalling ;
Cost Center : Finance Charges ;
Cost Element : 425852 ;
Sender Values : Share in % 100 Plan Value
Version 0
receiver weighting factor :
factor per 100
Cost Centers 100

Hi,
Please check the following steps followed correctly or not
1) Segment Header
Sender rule : Posted Amount ;
Share in % : 100 % -> Plan Values ;
Receiver rule : Variable Portion ;
Var.portion type : I Checked more than 3 option (Plan Stat.Key Firgures)
Scale Neg. Tracing Factors :No scalling ;
2) Senders/Receivers
Sender
Cost Center : Finance Charges ;
Cost Element : 425852 ;
Receiver
You are not mentioned any thing, Please Main Receiver Cost Centers or Group
3) Sender Values
Sender Values : Share in % 100 Plan Value
Version 0
Note: If you are Selected Variable Portion, Stat.Key Fig you will get another Tab
4) Receiver Tracing Factor:
Here you Have to Maintain Stat.Key Figures you already maintained in the (KP46)
5) Receiver weighting factor
receiver weighting factor :
factor per 100
Cost Centers 100
Make sure that the above parameters should be Maintain, All it should Planning,
Because you are doing Planning for Distribution

Allocation cycle error

Dear all,
I am getting the following error while doing the allocation cycle run.
"Record KOUOFIDFINOC-RCS4RKIUOO imported as a sender is used as a sender in several segments"
I understand that this error is coming up because of the cost center being used in more than one segment and the sender being credited by more than 100%.
but what is the record in the above error?"KOUOFIDFINOC-RCS4RKIUOO" .
Thanks
srikanth

Hi Enrico
You are not using the functionality in the way it is intended
Distribution cycle is meant to distribute costs from one cost center to another cost center... What you are trying to do is distribute costs between 2 act types of same cost center... Thats not the purpose of Distr Cycle
In your case, you should plan as per your end result.. Calculate these values in excel and upload
Cost Center 100001
Cost Element 101 - Activity SET UP - Fix Cost XXX and Var Cost YYYY (Usually Var cost does not apply to Set up time)
Cost Element 102 - Activity MACH HRS - Fix Cost XXX and Var Cost YYY

Anay standard function module or report to read Allocation Cycle

Hi
I am looking for any standard function module / Report to read allocation cycle.
Appriciate your help.
Thanks
Lakshman

Hello Lakshman
Using function module RK_AL_CYCLE_READ you can read allocation cycles.
However, you will need additional fm's in order to read the entire cycle data.

Close PCA allocation cycle posting periods

Hello all,
I want to close PCA allocation cycles posting periods.We can't control this through OKP1.As SAP allows to post PCA allocation cycles after closure of periods in FI & CO.Hence there is mismatch with data sent to BCS system.
Can anyone advice on closure of PCA allocation cycles posting ?
Thanks in advance!

Recurring Job for Allocation cycle reversal

Dear colleagues,
I want to create a recurring job for FI allocation cycles Reversal but I cannot find any transaction or program that can be executed through the SM36 for such purpose.
The only way to do this reversal is to execute the transcation FAGLGA35 and to navigate to the menu tin order to select the option "-> Reverse".
Has any one of you a tip for that or do you confirm that I need to create a specific program for such requirement?
Thank you in advance
Pascal.

Workflow is the only option

Also what is cycle definition, cycle run...please explain me from scratch...
Will really appreciate ur help. and guidance...
Cheers:Sam

Please rewrd points if helpfull.
Allocations enable you to periodically allocate amounts and quantities from sender objects to receiver objects. The two main types of allocations are assessment and distribution. You can allocate both plan and actual data. You perform the allocation using the allocation cycle function. You use allocation rules to determine how amounts and quantities should be allocated from sender object to receiver object. It is possible to assess/distribute amounts and quantities according to the following criteria, for example:
● Sales costs
● Sales for a particular period
Allocation TypDistribution
Amounts and quantities of one or more sender objects are distributed to one or more receiver objects, The debit and credit postings for the distribution occur under the original account/original cost element with which the amounts and quantities are posted at the sender. The information of the original account/original cost element remains intact.
The distribution can be performed with actual and plan data.
e
Assessment
AssessmentThe assessment works in the same way as the distribution. However, with the assessment, the debit and credit postings do not occur under the original account or the original cost element but under an assessment account or an assessment cost element. The information of the original account/original cost element are lost.
The assessment can be performed with actual and plan data.
Assessment
With an assessment, both sender and receiver amounts are posted to an assessment account.
The allocation is performed as follows:
 1. Assessment account 600000 accumulates the balances of the accounts (510000, 520000, and 530000).
 2. Assessment account 600000 equally allocates the balance from the utilities accounts (EUR 1,500) to EDP (profit center 100), Sales (profit center 300), and Marketing (profit center 400).
 3. The amount EUR 500 is debited from each of the receiving profit centers in account 600000.
 4. The assessment account 600000 is credited with the amount EUR 1,500.
DistributionWhen you perform a distribution, you allocate the balance from the original sender to the receiver. During the distribution, the original sender account is credited and the receiver account debited.
The allocation is processed as follows:
 1. The amounts of the sender accounts (510000, 520000, 530000) are distributed equally to EDP (profit center 100), Sales (profit center 300), and Marketing (profit center 400).
 2. The amount EUR 500 is charged to each of the receiving profit centers in accounts 510000, 520000, and 530000. The original account is therefore retained.
 3. The accounts 510000, 520000, and 530000 of the Administration profit center are credited.

Adding segment to allocation cycle

Hi,
Has anyone used the FM KGAL_APPEND_SEGMENT to add segment to an allocation cycle ?? There seems to be some error with the FM. Let me know if anyone has used this FM
Thanks Much.

Hi Pawan,
You can do a where used list of the segement to see whether it is being used anywhere. These errors will come because it is being used elsewhere.
If you still want to change a segement you can do it by creating another version of the Segement.
Thanks
Lakshman

SAP Allocation cycle Set Creation

Hello Experts,
We are executing Planning allocation cycle in FAGLGA4b.
In allocation cycle we have created, we have given a set in Sender list.
This set is for 6 port (custom Dimension), numbers are not in range. for e.g. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Set is for 1, 3, 5, 7 , 9, 10.
When we put one value in set say port 1, its working fine. But if we put a range or insert
Individual ports in each line item, it does not work.
From To
1 10
From To
1 1
3 3
5 5
7 7
9 9
10 10
Any combination is not working except single value.
Guys please help me out for this why its not working
Regards
Zunaid

Didn't quite understand your question. Well, the t code to create sets is GS01, if that is what you are looking for.

Need to populate text/ref fields for docs generated by allocation cycles

When executing distribution or assessment cycles the doc header text, reference field and line item text are all left blank in the generated accounting document. We would like to populate these fields with some reference to the cycle or segment names. Is there any doc type or cycle setting or standard config that would allow us to populate these fields without the use of an exit? Thank you in advance.

Hi
Goto GGB1 TCode
under Cost Accounting you can find three allocation areas
Find out right one and create new substitution rule to update text or ref

Transportation of Allocation Cycles

Hi all,
We are in the on-going support phase. Now there is a new requirement for alloaction of expenses. We will be using distribution cycles. Needed to know the following:
1) Since it is not part of BBP, would it constitute a Change request?
2) Are distribution cycles transported using a transport request or are they directly created in production? What is the best practice in this case?
Regards,
Sangeeta

Hi,
1) Since it is not part of BBP, would it constitute a Change request?
In my opinion you could propose the two options, allthough in theory, a new costs distribution requirement is something very common, therefore I would prefer not consider a change request, but I would speak with the customer about the dificulty...
2) Are distribution cycles transported using a transport request or are they directly created in production? What is the best practice in this case?
It is much better to use requests, you willl be able to test the diferent cycles in other environments before. And later on, you will not do mistakes in production.

CCA to COPA allocation cycles with cumulative tracing factors

Hello
we are looking for a functionality to use tracing factors but cumulating forward and not backwards : hereafter the example.
Cost occur on cost center in month 1, 2 and 3. We would like to allocate these costs based on the generated revenue in month 2, 3 or more.
Tracing factors Sales Quantity seem only to work for past sales up to the current period. We have systematically unallocated costs in month 1 as the Sales in COPA only occur in following months.
Has anyone already encountered this ?
Thanks for your help
Best regards,
Philippe Meyer

I doubt cumulative ytd allocation is possible in KEU1. The 'cumulative' indicator in the KSU1 header screen, is not visible in KEU1.

Special Purpose Ledger - Upload Allocation Cycle

Hi all
Are there any standard tools for uploading Assessment or Distribution Cycles and Segments in Speacial Purpose Ledger. This relates to transactions GA11 and GA31.
I know how to achieve this using a BDC session and LSMW but this involves having multiple records eg 1 Create Cycle. 2 Create Segment. I need a tool that can have multiple cycles and multiple segments all loaded from one single file.
Tried looking for BAPI, Idoc etc but could not find anything.
Thanks in advance
Gidon

try these
JV_GB01_DOCUMENT_POST.
JV_GB01_DIRECT_INPUT this fm is used to to post directly to SPL
or try BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST
BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_CHECK
BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST

FI-GL allocation - distribution error: no valid receiver entries exist

When creating an allocation cycle with fixed percentages and distribution defined on own Z-field (exists in table T800D without
checks) we get Message no. GA109 when going to the receiver tracing factor screen.
This happens only when entering a range or set for the receiver. With one unique value we get the tracing factor screen.
This worked before with ranges and sets. As far as we know there are no changes done at the configuration.
What can trigger this error? Something must be changed, but I have no clue what...
Can you give me some tips to help me searching?

Hi Prasada,
I can change the set I use, so I guess it is not locked ?
The set consists of 18 single values, from 1 to 18. So I tried with a set with a range 1 to 18, and also without a set and just a range 1 to 18 but that didn't help.
When I use only 1 value I dont get the error.
Before we did some tests with the same cycle (same segments and sets) and we didn't had the problem.
We have the problem now for more than a week.
Any other suggestions?
Renaat.
UPDATE FYI: we had to activate valdiation on the fields used for the allocation
Strange because we did tests in the sandbox before without these validation on.

BAPI for creation of CO-allocation document

Hello,
I want to allocate costs from cost centeres to CO-PA using an own program.
Is there a BAPI creating the allocation document(s) on the cost Center as well as on the CO-PA side?
I looked into an allocation cycle (KEU1) executed it (KEU5) but the coding was too complicated for me to see anything.
do not want to use activity types.
Thanks a lot for any help.
Thomas

Hi Bulut,
I know that one. It requires a primary cost element.
Do you know a BAPI which
a) offers the CO-PA Segment and
b) can be used with a secondary cost element?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Thomas

Ditribution cycle with WBS as sender

Hi Friends,
We have support project cost cost booked on WBS elements , we want to allocate that costs to some cost cost centers.
We created 1 distributiion cycle having the WBS as sender & cost center as the receiver.
but when we run the distribution cycle, the cost is not getting distributed. the sender is not recognized when we run the cycle.
We are having message " Cycle PA01IND002, start date 20100101, does not include any senders."
kindly help.
Thanks & Regards
Bhairavi

HI,
SAPNET note 605281 describes what to do to enable allocation cycles to use WBS-element as a sender, I assume this is correct implemented in your system.
Check the sender master data / transaction data. Follow SAPNET note 64805 (point 4) for detailed analysis of the case (report RKACSHOW).
Best regards, Christian
