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.

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

Edited by: rajamallu on Jul 2, 2010 10:41 AM

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

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.

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.

Allocation structure changes at settlement (KO88)

Guys,
Here's a question from the PM contingent...
Is it possible to determine the <i>allocation structure</i> at the point of performing <i>settlement</i> for a PM order (e.g. KO88).
I've had a quick look for user-exits, but couldn't find anything.
Thanks in advance

Allocation Structure is define under settlement profile and this settlement profile is assigned to PM order Type.
Pl check and define your allocation structure and assinged to you allocation rule .
Thanks

Allocation structure error 503

Hello all,
The amounts incurred for an investment order have been posted using a wrong GL and the posting is reversed since it was a mistake. That GL is not included in the allocation structure used in the order type. When we are trying to settle the order in KO88, even though the posting is reversed it is still giving the error for the GL to be included in the allocation structure.
Please let me know if anyone out there know what I am dealing with.
Thanks
Naresh

Hi Sadashivan.
The allocation structure that we use for investment orders has one cost element assigned in it. User posted a accounting document on to the order using another cost element. Later he realized that it is a mistake and reversed the document. when we go to KOB1 to see the amounts for the order this reveral is visible making the balance 0 on that cost element. But when I go to KO88 to settle the amounts the system won't let me because the order has a transaction with cost element that is not in the Allocation structure. So for me to settle these costs, I have to add this CE to my Allocation str. and send it to P, run my settlements and then delete the CE from Allocation str and send it to P again. I was hoping if there is a process to avaoid that.
Thanks
Naresh

Allocation structure problem

Hi SAP,
I am having a problem to make settlement for Work Order. i have created a new Cost Element (90500014) but system does not allow the Work Order to be settled. Is there any configuration i have to do (SPRO)? eg: OKO6 and OKO7. If yes, how? since i have no experience in this Txn.
Btw, i received error message (NA KD503) Short text - Complete allocation structure MK.
Promise will give points for those who help me out.
TQ

Hi,
Yes, you need to maintian the created cost element as source in OKO6 or in OKEU.
Hope this helps.

Allocation structure maintenance

Hi Experts
How do i add a cost element in the cost element group to include it as a source in OKO6?
one of the users was trying to settle internal orders but got an error " KD503 - Complete allocation structure Z1" the error went on to say cost element 480010 needs to be included in the Z1 allocation structure.
only problem is that when i go into the structure under Source, there is a cost element group already maintained with 4 other cost elements, i want to add this cost element (480010) into the group.
please help
Thanks

Hi Srikanth,
i have tried adding the cost element into the desire group, and it didnt give me any errors. i asked the user to try and settle the order and it was successful. thank you so much.
if i may ask, what impact is this change going to have the system, because the user says he just want to enter it settle it then remove it again from that group.
initially i had suggested that he should reverse the posting, but he said it would be a long process because the payment has been done and they got discounts for it.
what effect do you think this will have on the system or in reporting?
