Assessment Cycle - Posting affected in GL Account

Hi,
The users have created the assessment cycle, specifying the Sender and Receiver Cost Centers and the fixed percentages. After executing the assessment cycle, it is noted that one of the GL Accounts is getting impacted with the running of the assessment cycle and the postings are taking place in this GL Account, whereas by running the assessment cycle, there should not be any postings in the GL Account.
Could you please advise as to how what could be the reason and how can we check the same?
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
Regards

Hi Ashok,
Thanks for the feedback. As suggested by you, I have checked the Cost Element for the GL Account that is impacting the Finance and find that the Cost Element Category is 1, i.e. Primary Costs. I presume that you want me to check the Cost Element category of only that GL Account which is getting impacted.
Would really appreciate your help in assisting me to investigate the cause.
Regards

Cross company code posting in assessment cycle

Friends,
I developed one assessment cycle to send from Cost center A ( company code A with USD) to Receiver cost centers B ( company code B with CAD) and Cost center C ( Company Code A and USD), When I do the assessment cycle and check the details it is showing me 100% taken out of sender and assessed to B and C. But when I check cost center report of Cost center A, the credit is not same as the debits ( i made the cycle to take out 100%). When i drilled down in the credits ( sent from assessment cost element), I see object currency to be different from transaction currency ( should be the amount that needs to be credited) even though Object and transactions currencies are in USD.
Any input on why object currency value will be different from transaction currency value even though both are in USD? Is it something because of cross company posting with different currencies? Thanks in advance

Hi,
check SAPNET note 549430 it describes the system beahivour and what you can do.

How create a 'set' of accounts (PCA assessment cycle (3ke1)

Guys hi,
I need to build a PCA assessment cycle between profit centers. (3Ke1)
The equivalent of cost element group in CCA cycle (KSU3) is apparently a 'set' in PCA, which I imagine is a group of FI accounts.
Do you know how create those sets? (couldn't find anything of the sort in the FI account master data !?)
Thanks for your time

Through Assessment cycle can we post costs through Primary cost Element

Can we Send the Costs from Sender Cost Center to Receiver Cost Center by using Primary Cost emlement which is created with Cost Element Category as1 and by executing Assessment Cycle (KSU5)
Thank you all

Hi Naga,
1. Do you want to transfer the cost in the Cost Element which is of category 1 OR
2. You want to use that Cost Element as a cost carrier in Assessment?
In case 1, YES, you can transter the cost
In case 2, NO, you must create secondary cost element with category 42 for this purpose.
Pls revert back for further explanation

Different functional areas during assessment cycles

We have an assessment cycle set up executed via KSU5.
We have the sender cost center assigned to functional area 300. In this case, the receiving cost center is also functional area 300.
All of the financial transactions (journal entries, invoices, goods receipts and depreciation posting) are all assigned to functional area 300.
However, when the assessment cycle is run, a portion of the credit to the sender cost center is assigning itself to functional area 200. I cannot tie this out to a single transaction or even a single (or combination of) cost elements.
What could be causing my credits to post to two different functional areas if all G/L accounts, all transactions and all affected cost centers are the same functional area?
Thanks
Josh

Thanks for the reply. I checked GGB1 and didn't see anything that would pertain to a substitution affecting functional area 200.
Are there any other places I should check?
Thanks
Josh

Assessment cycle

Hi guys. I need help on how to create gl assessment cycle step by step. I created a cycle using FAGLGA11 but i keep getting an error message that the sender and receiver doesn't exist. Is there something that I am missing. My goal is to do profit center assessment to transfer costs from one cost center(service) to 8 cost centers (production) and post the costs into one GL account. Please help , its urgent.Thanks for your help.
Moderator: Please, read and respect the rules of SDN

Hi Sridhar,
You have defined is ok, further you have to give the selections in the Receiver Tracing Factor - Reveiver Rule / Var portion type.
You have the following options:
1. Receiver Rule - You want to transfer the variable portions / fixed amounts / fixed % etc.,
2. Var. Portion type - On what basis you want to split the sender amount from 201 to receiver cost center group Actual costs / plan costs / actual Statistical key figures / plan Statistical key figures.
Unless you dont do the selections it would not be able to identify the sender and receiver.

Assessment cycles

Hello all,
I have the following question regarding assessment cycles (KSU5) customized in KSU1 with Sender rule = 1.Posted amounts and Receive rule = 2. FIxed amounts. The issue is when you execute the KSU5 and the cost center sender is lower than the rule, for example, cost center sender has 100 euros and the rule gets that the cost center receiver will have 200. The system does not check the fixed rule against the total amount from cost center sender, and it transfer 200 and not 100.
Please, could you help me?
Thanks for your attention.

Hi,
What you have described is the standard behavior
Sender rule "posted amounts", receiver rule "fixed amounts"
The sender rule is not taken into account (nothing is read from the database). The fixed receiver amounts are credited to the sender with ALL cost elements of the segment definition. Assessment: the assessment cost element or the assessment cost elements of the allocation structure. Distribution: All cost elements of the segment definition for the sender in Sender/Receiver Tab.

Assessment Cycle in Profit Center

Hi,
Need urgent help.
I'm running an Assessment Cycle for Profit Center but every time system does not select any sender or receiver.
Error message:
Cycle 8ATEST1, start date 20070401, does not include any senders.
Message no. GA749
Diagnosis
No senders were found for cycle 8ATEST1, starting date 20070401.
System Response
It is no longer possible to create receivers and assign senders for the segment.
Procedure
Check the definition of the cycle in the maintenance transaction for EC-PCA: Actual Assessment. No valid sender cost centers could be found to match your selection.
If you use the sender rules "Posted amounts" or "Posted quantities", check whether records exist in the database for the criteria you entered (cost element, version...)
During indirect activity allocation with the sender rule "posted quantities", you should also note that only the difference between the planned/posted activity allocation and the scheduled activity quantity is allocated. If you entered activity types as sender, you should at this point also check the activity type category. For those quantities posted with an activity type of category 1 (manual entry, manual allocation) no indirect activity allocation is possible.
1. If this is an allocation in the FI/FI-SL area, the problem could also be due to the inheritance logic for FI-SL totals tables, whose "Inheritance of sender based on the receiver" indicator is activated in the "Partner object update" view (T811U-INHERSRC). These are tables that were installed before Release 4.6A.
Use transaction GCA8 to check this, and see the section on:
Inheritance Logic for Allocations
then correct the affected cycle, if required.
Pls help urgently.
Regards,
Vikas Malhotra

Hello ,
Did you double checked if any postings occurred to the respective profit centers in the cycle for that particular period you are executing??
Thanks,
Sai.

Assessment Cycle: ERROR asking FI period needs to be open to run cycle

Hi,
I'm trying to run the cost center assessment cycle using KSU5, but an error pops up asking the FI period needs to be open.
This is what I did:
1.       Just created two cost centers (one sender, one receiver).
2.       Posted an entry using FB50 to one of the cost center (sender) [Expense GL a/c Debit, Bank account credit]
3.       Created the assessment cycle
4.       Blocked the FI period using OB52
5.       Ran the test run u2013 worked perfectly (values all went correctly)
6.       While running the Real run u2013 an error popped up, saying FI period needs to be opened.
Dont know why I'm getting this error. Would really appreciate if anyone could help.
Thanks & rgds,
Nashad

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. But we know that FI period needs to be open. Just want to know if we could run the cycle without opening the FI period.
Eg. Our FI Period closes on the 4th of every month. We get all the SKFs for the cycles only on the 10th of each month. So, when we run the cycle FI period is already closed.
Is there no other option of running the cycle without opening the FI period?

Assessment Cycle run

Hi,
While I run assessment cycle i get error message:
No account is specified in item 0000000001
Message no. F5670
Diagnosis
No account was specified for account type "S" in item "0000000001" of the FI/CO document.
System Response
The Financial Accounting program cannot process the document.
Procedure
A system error has probably occurred in the application you called up. Check the data transferred to item "0000000001" of the FI/CO document.
It runs in test mode but it gives above error in real posting mode. I checked some of the OSS notes but none were helpful.
Thanks,

COPA Assessment Cycle using KEU5 for multiple controlling areas

Hello All,
There is an organization with operations in several countries. There is a separate controlling area for each country. There is one controlling area, for instance, for Germany and another for Netherlands.
A problem is encountered while executing transaction KEU5 for multiple controlling areas in parallel. For instance, when one user from Germany executes KEU5 for an assessment cycle for Germany controlling area and at the same time another user from Netherlands tries to execute KEU5 for a cycle for NL controlling area, the user from Netherlands encounters an error message u201C'Cycle XXXX 01.02.2008 cannot be started because run group 0000 is locked'.
Apparently SAP allows assessment cycles for exactly one controlling area to be executed together. This poses a problem since the organization plans to implement SAP in several other countries (There will be one separate controlling area for each country as per the organization structure adopted by the company).
Any ideas, views or suggestions on the aforesaid issue would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Soumya

Hi Soumya,
Did you find any text in SAP Documentation saying that "SAP does not allow cycles belonging to different controlling areas to be executed at the same time"...?
Pls find the following text from SAP Help...
Parallel Processing of Cycles of an Allocation Type
Use
Parallel processing of cycles results in considerable time savings. To process cycles of one allocation type in parallel, they must be assigned to different cycle run groups.
You define the cycle run groups in the cycle header data. You also assign cycles to the cycle run groups in the header data.
To process the cycles of a cycle run group in parallel, start the cycles one after the other, if required, in different sessions.
You are carrying out a cross-company code cost accounting and want to perform the actual assessment in the individual company codes in parallel. Create a cycle run group for each company code and assign the appropriate cycles to these groups. You can then carry out the actual assessment in the individual company codes in parallel.
When you execute a cycle, you can start a consistency check. The system checks whether you are allowed to execute the selected cycles in parallel.
Though I didn't come across such requirement, I feel, my earlier suggestion will work out...

Activating Direct Posting to G/L Accounts and Material Accounts

Hi,
Can anyone plz tell me with some examples ,what is the relevance of this ,'Activating Direct Posting to G/L Accounts and Material Accounts'.
Link for this is as below :
spro/Materials Management/ Logistics Invoice Verification / Incoming Invoices / Activate Direct Posting to G/L Accounts and Material Accounts
Whether normally everyone will use this or not ?
regards,

Sandeep
In Logistics Invoice Verification, you can also post invoices that do not refer to a purchase order or a delivery. A typical example of this is a bill for expenses.
As in the case of an invoice with a reference, you first need to enter the header data and the vendor information.
In contrast to invoices with a reference, the system does not display any proposed values for the invoice items, since it cannot determine any purchase order items and posted goods receipts for this invoice. As a result, the system does not know which accounts are affected by the offsetting entry for the vendor line item. Therefore, you must specify which accounts the amounts are to be posted to. The SAP System provides the following options:
Posting to a G/L account
You post to G/L accounts if you, for example, want to settle small amounts for freight costs and similar items and do not want to add these to the material accounts or cost accounts for the invoice items.
Posting to a material account
You post to material accounts, if you, for example, want to debit or credit a material without using a purchase order reference
You can also combine these options by generating the relevant posting lines one after the other, or by generating lines with reference to a purchase order.
When you enter an invoice without a reference, you may find that a vendor has not been created in the system. You can post this invoice to a one-time account.
You can have activated this functionality if you want to post directly to GL account and material.
Hope this clarifies
Thanks & Regards,
Sridhar

COPA Assessment Cycles and FI Period closing.

Hi Gurus,
I have question related to the COPA Assessment cycles.
We have closed the FI Period 03 and running the COPA Assessment cycles. while running the same, for few of the assesment cycles are completed and for the rest of the few cycles it is error out stating the Period is closed.
Why it is running successfully for few cycles and why it is complaining for Period closing for the others. We are on ECC 6 Version of SAP.
Error out cycles contains Cost accounts and Asset Account GL Accoutns.

Hi:
If your CO allocation has some external postings (like GL or fixed assets) or generating some intercompany documents, then it needs FI to be open also. It happens sometimes if the allocation goes external so it would need fI period to be open also. If FI is close but CO is open, it would only work for CO specific allocations and others would error out.
Please check the cycle/segment which is in error. If it is suppose to hit FI, then FI (OB52) and CO (OKP1) periods should be in sync.
Thanks.
