Assessment Cycles control issue

Hi Folks,
I have 2 assessment cycle A1 and A2, A2 cycle should be run after A1. So my question is How do I ensure that cycle A1 is run before A2. Also i dont want to re run any particular cycle again.
Regards,
Ravi

Set up cycle A1 as a background job and schedule it. Set up cycle A2 as a background job and schedule it but make this one run dependebt upon the completeion of the A1 background job. You set this up in the background job processing parameters. Set A2 to run after the A1 cycle job name that you create.
pls assign points if helpful as a way to say 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...

COPA Assessment Cycles Issue.

Dear All,
I have an issue with assessment cycles through COPA.
I have created assessment cycles for transferring the cost from cost center to products. So Maintained the sender cost center and cost elements but i maintained the receiver charecteristics which is not executing.
We have many charecteristics in copa report. But client has given the percentages for products only to distribute the cost from cost center to Products.
How can i achive this with proper execution of assessment cycles.
Regards,
Prakash.

Dear Prakash,
Check in Tcode KE24 whether values are posted for the combination of receivers you have mentioned in Assessment cycle. If the values are not posted for the combinations as receivers, system will not post the values through assessment cycle.Restrict the receiver characteristics for e.g. company code, Material Group etc.

I'm on ECC6.0, and I'm trying to run PCA assessment cycle using FAGLGA15, I've created the PCA assessment cycle. But I got the warning message saying " no valid sender found", I checked table FAGLFLEXA, the sender profit center has values which I posted through FB50 , anybody has encountered the same issue?
please advise.

Hi,
In NewGL, all actual data is saved under version '1' by system design. You can see this in FAGLFLEXT-RVERS.

Error with assessment Cycle

Hi all
When I run Assessment cycle its giving this error .Test run is successful, but normal run its giving the error
"No account was specified for account type "S" in item "0000000001" of the FI/CO document"
trying to find out whats happenning.
Is it some thing with the recon account
Thanks in advance

It seems that FI/CO reconciliation is active for CO postings. During assesment it is trying to create a FI document and unable to find GL account. Plz maintain account determination for CO postings.
If your SAP is 4.7 or below, check the following settings -
SPRo - Controlling - Cost Element Accounting - Reconciliation Ledger
If you are on ECC, check out the following settings -
Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) Ledgers - Real Time Integration of Controlling with Financial Accounting.

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.

Distribution criteria list in Assessment cycle takes time

Dear Peers,
When I click the tab 'Receiver Tracing factors' of the COPA Cost Center cycles, a dialog 'Distribution criteria list' which asks for one more selection for confirming the receiver parameters. After selecting all of them, it takes very long time but in vain.
In my case, I want to allocate the selling overheads on the basis for those products with particular batch, say, which starts with say '1' by giving the range as 1AAAAAA TO 1ZZZZZZZ. This '1' denotes one of the manufacturing plants. Hence, I want to pick up the batches which have been sold across the company code in other plants as well as in depots numbering 100+. I had already created the summarization levels and now I had refreshed it but it has no effect on it. Do we need to create seperate summarization level manually for this and how? Is there any thing other than summarization, we need to do?
Regards,
Ashok singh

Hi Ashok
Summ levels can be used in Assessment cycles... Your "Distribution List" tab might take time to finish...
However, I would ask you to assess your req once again... This level of allocation is more likely to cause performance issues
however, if no of docs in COPA is not much, then you need not worry
What worries me is that you cant use non-segment level chars as receivers in COPA assessment cycle.. have you specified BATCH No as segment level char in KEQ3? If yes, please undo it.. Else, you are going to face a nightmare situation

Problem in Actual assessment cycle.

Hi Team,
We are using assessment cycle to distribute the cost from utility cost center to production cost center, after cycle execution we found the cost in debit side of the production cost center with assessment cost element. And also we are using the substitution is that the cost which is coming on the assessment cost element will flow to FICO reconciliation GL. We created 5 sets of assessment cost element groups( depreciation secondary cost element group, Admin OH, Store spares, Salary wages & power & Fuel) which correspond to five 9 series reconciliation accounts.
The 5 reconciliation GLu2019s are as follows:
1. Depreciation                90102003
2. Administrative overheads     90102004
3. Store spares.                90102005
4. Salary & wages                   90102006
5. Power water & fuel.           90102007.
After assessment cycles when FI team runs the transaction F.01 for the above GLu2019s the cost is appearing. Which is the consolidated cost which is distributed from utility cost centers is there any way to get the primary cost element wise breakup of the above five heads. This is the requirement raised by the FI team kindly advice.
Regards,
Ravi.

Hi Ravi,
have you come up with any solution?
I have found, we can use substitution rules in New GL- CO reconciliation to fix assessment issue. In fact, we have to maintain multiple substitution rules or table to get correct P&L by primary cost element. This is pretty much possible.
My issue is, we are using COPA. COPA dont have distribution option.
Let me know if anyone has better option than substitution. because I don't want to loose my primary cost element information.

Number range error in Assessment cycle in CO-PA

Dear All,
During performing "Actual Assessment cycle in CO-PA" , system gives the error message
"An error occurred when the SAP System attempted to determine the document number. No interval was found for number range object RK_BELEG, sub-object 1000".
When I checked in KEN1 (Document ranges for actual posting) & also checked in
KANK, it is defined
Can some one can explain me how to re-solve the same.
Rgds
SMK Ganesh

Hi,
Please, check transaction KANK, under menu path of SPRO:
Controlling -> General Controlling -> Organization ->
Maintain number ranges for controlling documents
Choose Overview and find the corresponding CO area.
You will see that there are several business transactions not assigned
to any number range. One of them should be KSPA Assessment to CO-PA.
Please, assign this business transaction (and the ones required for other processes) to a number range.
Then, run again KEU5.
If the above does not help then check if problem is that you use too many receiver fields in copa cycle.
The number range object is derived from the co-area and if you are using more than 15 single value receiver fields the system wont consider the settings "behind" the co-area.

Waman

Assessment cycle- Transport

Hi All,
The assessment cycles are configured in the Development system. The transport created was released to integration and quality. We found that the segment do not reflect the way it is in Development system.
We want to transport the configurations once again.
Can anyone tell how the cycle needs to be included in the transport?
Thanks,

Hi,
Run TCode OKE5 - Transport : Controlling Settings
If your Assessment Cycles are Plan cycles then go to Planning2 tab, select Assessment. For actual cycles go to Actual postings 1 tab and under Cycles select Assessment.
Then click Include in Request (Shift+F6) button. All assessment cycles for your Controlling Area get included in the transport request.
If you do not want all to be transported, then Goto SE10 TCode and display the request. Then double click the task to select the objects. Double click on Table Contents and click Change button. Then delete the entries that you do not want. Save the request and release transport request.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sanjib

Iterative function in Assessment Cycles

As I know about "Iteration" function in assessment cycle is u201Cindicator controls whether iterative sender/receiver relationships are considered when this cycle is processed. The iteration is repeated until each sender is fully credited u201Cbut its setting is required to perform the said function?
Because we have activated the Iterative indicator but still not performing. Our requirement is to allocate the cost of two service cost centers which are providing services to each others how it could be done that until it become zero cost.
To achieve this what is required to create whether we create 1 cycle which contain 1 segment and system will perform Iteration automatically until the cost become zero or we need to create several segments to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Iterative Processing
If you want to execute the processing iteratively, you must select "Iterative" for the cycle. The SAP System also includes cyclical relationships in the cost center network (a receiver can also be a sender of costs).

Cost centre distribution & Assessment cycles

What is T.Code & navigation path for checking weather a GL A/C is used in any Cost centre distribution and in any assessment cycles?

KSV2
SPRO> Controlling> Cost Center Accounting> Actual Postings> Period-End Closing> Distribution> Define Distribution> Change Actual Distribution
Give your cycle name and start date. In Header Data Screen click on overview and select the segment you want to view
In tab Sender/Receiver you can see the desired information.

COPA Assessment Cycles

Hi Guru,
I really need some help with setting up COPA assessment cycles in 6.0. I have used the best practice guides but unfortunately they were to lazy to be thorough. I am using transaction code KEU7 to create the cycle. I have attached a few segments to the cycle and added the sender/receiver (cost centers, companycode) details aswell. I checked it before saving the cycle and i got no error messages. Now when i execute the cycle through tcode KEUB i get errorr/warning messages saying that "no valid sender entries found" and "this segment does not contain any senders". I am not sure what i am missing and what i may be doing incorrectly. Can someone please help me understand how to rectify this issue. I am extremely generous with rewarding points!!!
Thanks in advance,
Shaun

Hi Smith,
Basically we created copa cycles in KEU1 and execute through KEU5.Find that recivers are product hi-erarachies, In our orgainisation Corporate oh are be charge to products through copa cycles.
Coming to your problem,When ever you define new copa cyle you find the error in differet ways.
1) NO VALID SENDER FOUND for segment means, Go to the segment there is an button ie consistancy chek box.Click on the check box System returns relavant segment.Observe that segment contains valid senders and revicers are produtc hierarachies or not.
2) Other wise go to the segment and clik on find button, give the cost center, cost elements.Observe secondary cost elements and rules.
3) other wise you can directly execute the co-pa cycle and click on segments.Here you can easily find that sender contains valid recivers or not.Basically these kind of error message will appears still now there is no Transaction passed to that products..
I hope you understood.

In KEU9 - plan assessment cycle, receiver   ' company code' means what

Hi
In KEU9,    plan assessment cycle for copa,   in RECEIVER there are many eg...product, WBS , company code.
How does the assessemnt   happen for   receiver ' company code'
Thanks
kamala

HI,
To reflect all the actual costs from Overhead Cost Controlling in Profitability Analysis, you need to transfer the cost center costs which are not directly attributable to the production process. You can transfer these costs to any profitability segments you wish and thus assign them to any level of your contribution margin hierarchies.
That way you can assign them to the level that best reflects the cause of the overhead.
For example, you can assign the costs that arose in the marketing for a certain customer group to that particular customer group in CO-PA. Similarly, the fixed costs and the excess costs in production should be assigned to the products or product groups that caused these costs.
If you assess the overhead costs to Company Code level, then in your KE30 report these costs are available at Company code level which you can't drill down to lower level.
Hope this helps.

Difference between Distribution and Assessment cycle

Hi,
Can any one help me regarding the above(Difference between Distribution and Assessment cycle)
Thanks in advance
Rajani

HI,
Assessment:
Assessment was created to transfer primary and secondary costs from a sender cost center to receiving controlling objects. During assessment, cost centers or business processes can be used as senders .n The receivers for an assessment can be a cost center, WBS element, internal order, cost object, or a
business process. You can restrict the number of receiver categories in customizing. n Primary and secondary postings are allocated at the end of the period by means of the user-defined
key.
n During assessment, the original cost elements are summarized into assessment cost elements
(secondary cost element category = 42). As the system writes fewer totals records, the assessment
has a better performance than periodic reposting and distribution.
n Line items are posted for the sender as well as for the receiver, enabling the allocation to be recorded
exactly. The system does not display the original cost elements in the receivers. Therefore,
assessment is useful if the cost drilldown for the receiver is not important, for example, as in the case
of the allocation for the "cafeteria" cost center.
n Similar to distribution, the partner is updated in the totals record during distribution.
n You can reverse assessments as often as required.
n You use the Cycle -Segment method to define sender-receiver relationships.
Distribution:
Differences between periodic reposting and distribution are due to information content and
performance.
n For periodic reposting, no separate credit record is written on the sender for the cost element in the
summary report. Instead, the totals record for the cost element is reduced on the debit side, which
means that the original debit amount can no longer be checked there ("unclean credit"). However,
during distribution, the system writes a totals record for the credit ("clean credit"). The information
on the receiver is the same for periodic reposting and distribution ("clean debit").
n Compared with periodic reposting, during distribution, the system also updates the partner in the
totals record for the sender. This means that the partner can be displayed in the information system
on the totals record level.
n As fewer totals records are written during periodic reposting, performance is better than during
distribution. See customizing for an example with figures that illustrates this aspect. Under utilities,
make settings for the SAPscript text display, then call up the text by choosing Periodic reposting,
Distribution, or Assessment from the menu.

Meenakshi
