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

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

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.

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.

Please help resolve error below.
What do I need to reverse?
Is there a different way to enter actual cost for this?
What do you think is missing in my allocation structure?

Hi paul
This error message you are getting KD503
This message comes up at the time of settlement of the order when you are transferring the cost from on cost object to the other. Here you are giving the final cost settlement on the asset so the final asset is where all the cost is going to get settle for the cost which you have taken in the internal order. you have to define a roadmap for the cost elements which is carrying the cost from the IO to the final asset.
The resolution Is do the following: go to KO88 and explore the juke box where you have booked all the jv take note of all those cost elements now come to KSES and here under Z4 allocation structure give CO area and go to source tab and give the range of cost elements that you have used in ko88 and save it
This will resolve your issue.
Kind regards

Hi...
if you double-click on the message it will show you what are the cost elements that are not assigned yet.
You need to access the allocation structure you use (it should be in the error message) and proceed with adding the respective cost element to complete the settlement. (transaction OKO6->pick allocation structure)
Hope it helps.

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 .

KO88 - message KD503 'Complete allocation structure ZD'

Hello,
Need some help regarding settlement error KD503 a user is getting via KO88. User made posting to an incorrect primary cost element (611010). That cost element is NOT included in the allocation structure and it should not be included. The user reversed out the incorrect posting and tried to settle the IO. The KO88 transaction still yields KD503 error. Any ideas what the problem is?
Both transactions were made in currency 'SGD'. When running S_ALR_87012993 to check line item total for 611010 in IO, balance is 0 in 'SGD' but $.06 in CO area currency. Would this be causing the issue?
I'd appreciate your immediate help! I've attached files in case it helps.

Hi Mathew
Nice to be talking to you again
The balance of .06 is not the issue.. You posted a line item in the IO... And then reversed it
So, from system's point of view, it has 2 line items in the IO to be settled..
You will have to include this cost element temporarily in your allocation structure, as a formality.. Once the settlement is done, you can remove it again
Include this Cost ele under any assignment in your allocation structure.. Impact would be null because the 2 line items nullify each other

Allocation Structure & Source Structure

Hi,
Can any body explain me what is the difference between the Maintain allocation structure & Maintain source structure in order to define settlement profile.
More helpful if provided with an example.
Thanks,
Srini

During settlement, costs incurred under the primary and secondary cost elements by a sender are allocated to one or more receivers. When you settle by cost element, you settle using the appropriate original cost element.
An allocation structure comprises one or several settlement assignments. An assignment shows which costs (origin: cost element groups from debit cost elements) are to be settled to which receiver type (for example, cost center, order, and so on).
A source structure contains several source assignments, each of which contains the individual cost elements or cost element intervals to be settled using the same distribution rules.
In the settlement rule for the sender you can define one distribution rule, in which you specify the distribution and receivers for the costs for each source assignment.
Example
The object in question has incurred both direct and overhead costs. The direct costs are to be divided 50% each between a fixed asset and a cost center, while the overhead is to be settled in full to an administration cost center in CO.
To do this, you would create a source structure with two source assignments:
1. Direct cost elements
2. Overhead cost elements
pls assign points to say thanks.

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,
on KSES the source has double entry of cost element. those cost elements were defined under cost element group. when i checked on the Source screen the entries under the cost element group there is no double entry but when checked on Extras > Overview List i can see two entries of the cost element. how can i remove on the double entry of cost element on the source of the allocation structure?
thanks!

Hi,
Go to KAH2 . enter cost element group.
Select the cost element to be deleted , then select arrow (upwars left , 3rd button from top left) , right click and then remove.

More than one sender structure assigned to receiver structure R_*

We are doing a time based reduction using TDMS 3.0.
At the phase called " assign domain rules", we get warning (not error):
"more than one sender structure assigned to receiver structure R_*".
I have searched SND and SMP, google as well but no thread is found for this warning.
How to fix this problem?
Thanks!

Hi David,
They basically are referring to some of TDMS tables where the data type of the header table is different when compared to the underlying child table. The header table refers to TDMS own table for which the data element has been deliberately changed to hold data from other tables as well. This warning will not have any effect. You can ignore them.
