Allocation Structure, Assessment in Controlling

What is the need of Assessment and Allocation in Controlling
Srinivas

To add, assessment uses secondary cost elements for posting, so that they can be distinguished in reports.    'Allocation structure' is created to map different primary cost elements to different assessment cost elements.   When the allocation structure is used, the postings in these primary cost elements are moved out using the assessment cost element mapped to them in the structure.     Hope this helps.

  • Allocation Structure, Settlement issue

    Dear All,
    I have created a Allocation Structure with following details:
    Allocation Structure: XX
    Assignment: 01, 02, 03...
    Co AREA: YYYY
    In Source: I assigned relevant Cosat element groups
    In Settelment Cost Elements: I assigned Secondary Cost elements
    I have maintained the Settlement rule to settle WBS to CTR in CJ20N.
    I have also checked that Allocation Structure XX is comming in Settlement paramters in the WBS (CJ20N)
    After few postings on WBS element i get an error "Maintain sources for allocation structure A1 (this is pointing to a different allocation structure) in controlling area YYYY"
    Ques 1: Is there any other config to be maintained required to Settle the Project to CTR.
    Ques 2: In the settlement Profile what Document type i need to maintain?? Is this mandatory?
    Ques 3: Is it must to create a source structure? 
    Warm Regards,
    Jatinder

    Dear Gokul,
    Yes this is newly configured allocation structure.
    I have created a new settlement profile (where i have also assigned the new allocation structure) and assigned the Project profile.

  • Allocation Structure - Maintenance in production system

    Hi all,
    is there any way of maintaining the allocation structures (KSES) in production without opening the system (modifying the client status)?
    Thanks in advance for your replyes!!!

    Hello Sadishivan,
    The idea is not to create the allocation structure in production directly, but to be able to maintain the assessment cost element or even insert a new assigment, without the need of a Transport Order.
    As example, the maintanance of Cycles is not modificable by default, but there is an option to maintain them in a not modificable mandt by implementing note OSS 326080.
    I didnt find any OSS Note which would allow to do that with the allocation structures... but maybe there is another way of maintaining them in a not modificable mandant?
    Thanks again for the reply

  • Complete Allocation Structure A1

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem concerning settlement of orders. Running transaction va88 gives me an error message stating that I should complete allocation structure a1. However, this is not the allocation structure I want to use. The message says that I can assign a different allocaton structure to the sender by chosing Settlement Rule --> Goto --> Settlement Parameters in the master data of the sender.
    Now my question is where to find the master data of the sender!? Thanks for your help!
    Regards,
    Martin

    Hi,
    I have solved this issue now. Changed the allocation structure. Now I still have one problem concerning an account which is not maintained in the strucutre. However, to assign this cost element to the right part of the structure is something my controlling people have to figure out.
    Thanks anyway for all you help.

  • Assignment under Allocation Structure.

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    I would like to know the functionality of Assignment under allocation structure.  Let us consider one ex:, I have 10 accounts (cost elements) and I divided those into 2 groups.  I considered one group under one assignment and another group under another assignment. 
    I want to settle expenditure related to first group to one g/l account and another group expenditure to another g/l account.  I don't want to consider % in settlement rule. 
    In that case, how I have to proceed, please let me know at the earliest.
    Regards.

    Hi Raman ,
    Cost Center Accounting , Profit Center Accounting and COPA Reporting are all distincts .
    Cost Center Accounting cycles ( assessment and distribution) will not effect Profit Center Accounting ..
    Wether you use Assessment or Distribution in cost center accounting will deciede upon what costs are there is your sender cost centers. If you have only primary costs ( from 1-2 GL A/c) only.. then use distribution otheriwse you have to use  CCA assessment cycles..
    For COPA Assessment cycles.. source and asessment cycle ... must be different in order to trace the costs later on ...
    Your Design must be
    1. Assessment/Distribution cycle to transfer the costs from pool CC to down CC
    2. COPA assessment cycle sto transfer the Costs to COPA .
    3. PCA cycles to distribute between profit centers .. to have profit center reports..
    Please revert back for any further clarifications

  • Allocation Structure in Inetrnal Order

    Hi Friends,
    Can any one explain me what is the function of Allocation Structue, which is assigned ( A1, P1 etc)to Settlement profile in Internal Orders.

    Hi,
    Basically there are 3 basis types of structures that are defined in settlement parameters.
    1. Allocation structure
    2. PA transfer str
    3. Source structure
    Allocation structure is basically a tool that allocates the costs incurred on a sender by cost element or cost element group.
    The allocation structure is used for settlement and for assessment.
    An assignment assigns a cost element or cost element group to a settlement or assessment cost element. Each allocation structure contains a number of such assignments.
    The allocation structure must meet the following criteria:
    Completeness -
    For a settlement or assessment to be executed correctly, the allocation structure must represent all cost elements under which costs are incurred.
    Unambiguity -
    There must be only one cost element in an allocation structure.
    Hope this helps.
    Reward suitable points if helps.

  • How to remove overlap of cost element in allocation structure?

    hi experts,

    thanks!

  • Message no. KD503 - Complete allocation structure K1 for Internal Order

    Hi,
    During Internal order settlement through KO88 I am getting this error as :
    Message no. KD503 - Complete allocation structure K1
    Diagnosis :
    During settlement, the system puts the sender debits into groups  (assignments), which are settled using the same settlement cost element. The settlement assignment is made in the allocation structure, which is stored in the settlement rule for the sender (under settlement parameters). Cost element 430500 cannot be assigned to a settlement cost assignment in allocation structure K1, and therefore it cannot be assigned to a  settlement cost element.
    Procedure :
        Possible solutions are as follows:
        o   If the posting under cost element 430500 was made to the sender because of an incorrect entry, and you can reverse the posting, and do not need to update the allocation structure. You only need to reverse the incorrectly assigned posting before repeating the settlement. Exception: For an investment measure with a line item settlement, you need to extend the allocation structure, even after the reversal.
        o   If the posting was made correctly, you can do the following:
    a)  You can assign a different allocation structure to the sender: In the master data maintenance for the sender, choose
        "Settlement rule -> Goto -> Settlement parameters" and then enter a different allocation structure.  If necessary, also check whether the correct allocation structure is entered in the settlement profile. The allocation structure is defaulted  in the settlement profile when you create sender master data or when you maintain the settlement  rule.
    -   You can update allocation structure K1
    The same configuration in  Development Server there is no error but problem occurs in Quality server. Here the process is Internal Order creation - Creation of Reservation through MB21- Goods Issue against reservation  through MB1A and finally settlement through KO88.  During settlement this error occur. In configuration setting of allocation structure under Internal Order I have mentioned only revenue settlement (as per business) against assignments. Under source mentioned cost element group and under settlement cost elment Receiver Cat is "CTR" and tick "By Cost Element".
    During MB1A i.e, goods issue accounting entry is generated as
    81(Dr). 430500 Constimptuion Saprae and Stores
    99(Cr). 310411 Inventory Machinery and Spare.
    During settlement this debit figure should credit. But not allowiing to credit. Even in configuration under settlement cost element if I remove the tick of "By cost element" and mention secondary gl account whose cost element category is 21, still showing the same error in QA server. What may be the probabale solution ? Even if i remove allocation structure K1 from settlement profile 20 still same error exist. How this link gets during settlment inspite of removing allocation structure from settlement profile...
    NB.. COPA is not implemented in our company. So PA structure should not arrise here....
    Thanks & regards,
    Samrat

    Hi Samrat,
    The issue is very simple.. Cost element 430500  is posted in your IO...
    While settling you have 2 options... Either you can credit the original GL account 430500.. This happens when you tick "By Cost element".. This you have done already...
    2nd option is not to tick "By Cost element" and assign a secondary cost ele category 21...
    But for any of these options to work, you have to include GL 430500 in the "source"... The above 2 options apply only to those GL accounts which are mentioned in the "Source".... for rest of the GL accounts, system gives this error
    Include 430500 in your "source" cost ele group.. Error will be resolved
    Regards

    Hi,
    within allocation structure customizing you create assignments for allocation structure Z1.
    Each assignment has a source (cost element, cost element range, cost element group).
    The cost element 40512006 is not included in the source definition of allocation structure Z1 but there are values to be settled available on your sender.
    Thus they cannot be settled and thats why the message occurs. So maintain alloc. structure Z1 completely.
    Best regards, Christian

  • WBS settlement issue:Complete allocation structure A1.Message no. KD503

    hi all
    I created an WBS  600041 and through FB60 posted the JV by assigning the WBS 600041.
    Then I saw in CJI3 the posting is done and it is showing there and I created a settlement rule and gave the 100 % cost settlement on AUC and saved it. Now when I go to CJ88 and do the actual settlement and gave all the parameters for full settlement and execute it is giving the following error
    Complete allocation structure A1.Message no. KD503
    Is this problem due to cost elements? How do I go about it.please suggest.
    kind regards

    We have assigned Cost element for Receiver Cat. FXA.
    What is the Problem?
    Thanks in advance

    In the allocation structure you need to include the source CE 410006.
    Allocation Structure>Assignments (double click)>Source (double click)
    Here in source you should have the CE mention in From else you should have created a CE group including this CE.
    And now for this source ensure you've maintained the Settlement cost element (for FXA) either 'By Cost Element' or Settlement cost element.
