Automatic Reversal of Result Analysis Posting

Dear Experts,
I would like to ask for suggestions in solving below case in my current project:
1. Project is created for sales of power solutions. Most of them are long-term, thus cost-based revenue recognition method is applied.
2. Result analysis with cost-based method (03) is periodically executed for project. Therefore, every month there are some revenue deferral/ accrual posting calculated based on actual cost - before the project is completely billed.
3. It is expected for revenue deferral/ accrual posting resulted from result analysis to be automatically reversed immediately in the next period (e.g. if RA is executed for July 2014, reversal posting needs to be immediately posted with posting date Aug 1st, 2014).
At first we were thinking to define new document type specifically for the result analysis posting, and perform mass reversal using F.80 transaction. But then we came to realize that result analysis entries are posted after settlement is executed -and accounting document generated from settlement transaction cannot be directly reversed in finance.
Anyone has encountered the same issue? How do we reverse result analysis posting without reversing the whole settlement transaction?
Thank you,
Regards,
Analistia

Hello,
First you need to configure the functionality from the bellow path

  • Result Analysis Posting to FI incase of Projects.

    Dear All,

    Hi,
    If there is no posting happening in FI then there could be some thing wrong in Cost element / G/L assignment as this will play major role in carrying cost / revenue from project to settlement receiver. Please cross-check your settlement configuration as this will carry calculated revenue / cost from project to FI. Please take the help of FI/CO consultant on this matter.
    After calculating revenue / cost through RA, the same will be settled to a receiver such as PSG / G/L etc. There is only one steps after RA i.e. project settlement
    If you want to post calculated revenue / cost into FI then calculated result after RA need to be settled to permanent cost object. However after RA, details can be obtained at project level.
    In order do settlement, you have to configure settlement profile of the project with allocation structure / PA transfer structure / source structre (if required) etc.
    The critical in settlement configuration is proper debit or and  credit account should be defined properly to carry out calculated revenue / cost from project to permanent cost object.
    Hope this will help you.

  • CO-PA: Result analysis process

    Hi COPA Guru,
    1) Will Result analysis post WIP for FI posting or it only calculate the figure?
    2) Is it Result analysis always necessary before settlement?
    Thanks,
    Kick

    Hi,
    At period-end, you can calculate WIP using Individual or Collective settlement.
    The following activities relating to WIP nneds to be done at period-end:
    1) Allocation of Overheads to Production/Process Orders at planned rates
    2) Actual Price calculation (T-Code - KSII)
    3) Revaluation of Production/Process Orders (T-Code -CON2)
    4) Change Cut-off period for WIP (KKA0)
    This is required to prevent the system overwriting the WIP calculations already posted till the previous period.
    5) WIP Calculation (KKAX/KKAO)
    This only calculates the WIP but does not post to FI.
    The system calculates WIP based on the status of the Production/Process Orders. WIP is calculated on all Prod/Process Orders which do not have status DLV (Delivered) or TECO(Technically complete)
    6) Variance calculation (KKS1/KKS2)
    The system calculates Variances based on the status of the Production/Process Orders. Variances are calculated on all Prod/Process Orders which have status DLV (Delivered) or TECO(Technically complete)
    7) Settlement of Production/Process orders (CO88/KO88)
    The system posts the WIP & the Variances calculated in 5 & 6 above.
    Once the status of the Orders change to DLV or TECO, system will reverse the WIP postings made in previous periods.
    To answer your specific questions:
    Result Analysis is the WIP calculation (KKAX/KKAO), which only calculates the WIP but does not post to FI.
    Result analysis is always necessary before settlement.

    Assign points if useful.

  • Project Results Analysis KKA2 Enhancement

    In SPRO - Project System - Revenue & Earnings- Automatic & Periodic
    Allocation - Result Analysis - Edit result analysis key & version -
    Maintain Result analysis version,
    If, CO Area 1000 & RA Version 0 selected, system is not allowing cross-

    Now the problem is that, if "cross-company valuation check box" is not
    selected the system is not skiping steps as mentioned in screen.
    Hence, enhancement KKAG0001 cannot be activated.
    Kindly provide the solution.

  • Post Cost of Sales in PS after Result Analysis

    Hi SAP experts,
    I'm testing SAP EC&O best practice solution at this moment.
    I executed KKAJ (results analysis) and both Cost of Sales and WIP were calculated correctly.
    COS: for a TECO WBS, which already have billing document
    WIP: for other WBS which is still in progress.
    I already saved this results analysis, however, when I execute settlement (CJ8G), I can only find the posting to FI of WIP. (Dr GL WIP account/Cr P&L WIP account). My expect is to have COS posted to FI as well (to recognize COS for the billing of completed WBS above).
    Kindly help me to figure out what I was missing here? I don't know at what step COS will be posted to FI. I searched all configuration document in Best Practice but cannot find any configuration for Results Analysis & Settlement for COS account.
    Thanks so much for your help.

  • Result Analysis(WIP) not posted after 4 cycle run

    Hi,
    Every month value is posted in Result Analysis GL account for WIP. But we found in period 10 and period 11 value is not posted Result Analysis GL account after running 4 cycle run (Overhead calculation, WIP calculation, Variance calculation and Settlement). What may be reason ??
    Regards,
    Samrat

    Hi Christian ,
    One question related to Cut-Off period regarding WIP calculation which myself and Ajay were discussing 15 days  back..
    Is it required to change the cut-off everymonth when we calculate WIP . In my client.. then donot do that .. but still we calculate the WIP..
    Is the significance of cut-off period is to tell the system the first period to calculate WIP .. during implementation .. My client never changes that and its in a MTS ( Process Order Senario )... but calculates WIP every month.

  • Automatic reversal of journal entry into new posting period

    Is there a way to set automatic reversal of a journal entry when creating a JE in the next posting period?

    Hi,
    I do not think this requirement can be met. There is no automatic reversal of document if it is being posted in the next period.
    However, you can write a validation in order to prevent the users to post in next period in GGB0 and assign the same in OB28.
    Hope this will solve your issue.

  • Result Analysis Settlement - Posting to FI

    Hi all
    I am configuring Result analysis related configuration to post WIP values to FI on period basis. I did following nodes configuration
    1.  Create Result Analysis Keys
    2.  Define Result Analysis Versions
    3.  Define Valuation Methods for Result Analysis
    4.  Define LIne ID
    5.  Define Assignment for Result Analysis
    6.  Define update for Result Analsysis
    7.  Define posting rules for Settlement to Finanacial Accounting
    We have RA connection with Projects
    After making all above configurations when we are performing KKA2 and CJ88, NO FI documents are getting posted and we are repeatedly getting message as there is no "Accrual" values. 
    We even not getting WIP values at KKA2, though we have eligble values at Project.
    we need to fix that at high priority...
    your inputs are highly appreciated..
    Kindly let me know, if any further clarifications required on this.
    best regards,
    S. Habib Pasha.

    Hi ,
    Based up on the above discussion did you executed any standard cost and revenue reports against the relevant WBS elements and verified that costs and revenue are flowing properly to the project ?
    In the RA are you able to see the WIP Values,Planned values and Actual values for COST and REVENUE ?
    And what are the parameters you maintained in  Settelement Profile ?
    Thanks,

  • Posting Rules in Results Analysis for COSR must go to different GL

    WE have "Non Valuated KMAT Sales Order Stock" scenario.
    It posts COS at time of settlement of Sales Order. Everything works fine. We have a new scenario.
    Currently both interco and external customer sales order posts to same COS GL at time of settlement.
    Interco KMAT sales orders during settlement must post to Interco COS GL.
    In OKG8 - RA Category "COSR" Key is used to post the the GL account.
    I have CoArea/CoCd/RAVersion/RACategory for COSR.
    Is it possible for system to differentiate and post to different GL, when settling IntercoSales Order vs Regular sales order

    Hi Kala,
    We had similar scenario and this what we have implemented.
    created two Result Analysis keys.one for Regular one and one for Interco
    created two usages one for interco business and one for regular one and which is populated each sales order line item.
    based on usage,RA key populated.
    If usage External : RA key "A" or If Interco "RA key "B".
    1.Assign  cost elements to respective line ids in OKG5 by RA key
    2.Assign line id to RA cost element(31) in OKG4 by RA key(create seperate 31 cost elements for both RA keys)
    3.Assign RA cost element(31) to Balance sheet and P&L accounts in OKG8 based.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Foreign currency valuation(f.05) reversal is not getting posted automatically.

    Hi All,
    i performed foreign currency valuation using F.05 with evaluation key date as 31/05/2014.
    i checked the check boxes  'create postings' and 'reverse postings' for G/L account balance valuation and haven't entered any date for reversal 'posting date'.
    evaluation postings got generated but reversal posting were not generated. i was under the impression that the reverse postings should be posted on the next day. but i can't see any reverse postings till now.
    Kindly advise me on this.
    Regards,
    Sreeni.

    HI ,
    I believe becuase you did not enter any date that's why they did n't reverse automtcially . You need to enter to reverse.
    now you can use f.80 mass reversal for all of them
    Many Thanks

  • Result Analysis Question

    Hi,
    I need one clarification -
    Is it really required to have a revenue in project to run the RA Key.
    If i have a actual cost and i want split it into to components (one is 80% and other is 20%).
    Then is it possible to achieve using the RA Key?
    What i heard about RA is that it hits the controlling and accounting at the period end i.e. Month end and then during the next month appear automatically on the PS object i.e. WBS without doing anything. Is it true?
    Waiting for help.
    Thanks

    Dear,
           You should configure settlement peofile and here Allocation structure in in.And  PA transfer structure defines where you wnt to settle.And for distribution of settlement amount you have to define source structure and distribution rule in settlement parameter.
    Here you can define the percentage of amount that you want to settle.
                                                                                    Only the result analysis data is avilable to settle.

  • Results Analysis Keyu2019

    What is the significance of u2018Results Analysis Keyu2019 parameter in process order?

    Hi,
    RA Key that defines the valuation of the order during period-end closing.
    How the results analysis key is used depends on the nature of the order.
    For orders with revenue ( internal orders, sales orders, and projects), the results analysis key determines how results analysis is carried out.
    Results analysis is recommended in the following situations:
    When you are using a nonvaluated sales order stock or nonvaluated project stock and you want to valuate the inventories at the end of the period
    When you are using a valuated sales order stock or valuated project stock and want to valuate goods that have been delivered but not yet invoiced, or when you want to create reserves automatically
    For orders without reference to a sales order item or WBS element, the results analysis key determines how the work in process is calculated.
    The production type can be make-to-stock or mass production on the basis of sales orders. The work in process is calculated at the level of the production order, process order, or product cost collector.
    For capital investment measures, the results analysis key determines how the system calculates the values to be capitalized.
    Examples
    For orders with revenue, costs may be incurred before any revenue is received. If you are using a nonvaluated sales order stock, results analysis enables you to report the costs as work in process. After the first revenue has been posted, you can calculate the cost of sales. If the calculated cost of sales is greater than the actual costs incurred to date, the system creates reserves for unrealized costs in the amount of the difference.
    No revenue is posted in CO for orders without reference to a sales order item. Each goods receipt for these orders is valuated. The work in process for these orders can be calculated with two different methods:
    Work in process at actual costs
    The actual costs for production orders and process orders for which no delivery has taken place are reported as work in process. After a partial delivery, the difference between the debit of the order with actual costs and the credit of the order from goods receipts is reported as work in process. When the order is complete, this work in process is canceled. The difference between the debit and credit of the order is then interpreted by the system as a variance.
    In Product Cost by Order, the work in process is usually valuated at actual costs.
    A requirement for the valuation of work in process at actual costs is that the default rule PP1 (full settlement) must be specified in the order.
    Work in process at target costs
    A confirmation is made for each operation or at certain reporting points. The system uses the confirmations to determine the quantity of work in process. This quantity is valuated using the strategy sequence specified in the valuation variant for work in process and scrap.
    In Product Cost by Period, the work in process is always valuated at target costs.
    A requirement for the valuation of work in process at target costs is that the default rule PP2 (periodic settlement) must be specified in the order.
    Hope it is clear.

  • Result Analysis for Refurbishment order

    Hi Experts,
    Could you please explain, can we calculate result analysis for refurbishment orders, I have created the RA key wip cost element ,selected internal and service orders w/o revenue in OKG9 and  other WIP setting, I have assigned this TA key to order type in OIOF, I have created one refurb order, released and confirmed the order, now I have to do month end activity like RA calculation in KKA1 and than settlement.
    When i am trying to execute KKA1  I am getting this message " Results analysis data was not changed
    Message no. KJ240"
    Could you please advise me how I need to fix this issue.
    Appreciate if you can explain the month end process for refurbishment order in detail.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    The default settlement rule for refurbishment ordrers is FUL rule to material. This type of rules defines the business scenario where the actual costs are settled only after the order is delivered or technically completed. In such cases the most used solution to monitor costs incurred on the order is to assign a results analysis key to the order and compute the so-called work in process (WIP). WIP (if computed) is equal to the actual costs on the order and it is posted to a WIP account when settling the order before DLV or TECO. When the order is delivered or technically completed, WIP calculation reverse WIP in CO
    and the consequent settlement post this WIP cancellation to FI. Simulateously, the actual balance of the order is settled to material.
    Check your customizing in OKG9 for the RA version ; have you set flag 'transfer to FI' ?
    regards
    Waman

  • Revenue Recognition Accounting in PS Results Analysis

    I am trying to understand certain aspects in the accountng involved for the process of Results Anaysis. In my case, we have configured RA for revenue recognition and all is working well. We have a project that has a billing element and an account assignment element under it.  Invoices go to the billing element, costs go to the aa elemet. RA key is entered on the billing element. RA calculates Revenues and COS and the billing element settles them to PA. While calculated, defered and unbilled revenue post to FI using OKG8 configuration settings. All is fine on the mechanics of this.
    What I do not understand is the treatment for the actual costs. Are they supposed to be settled to PA as well? If so...then, the costs seem to double up in PA (COS from RA calculated based on the actual costs via the billing element and Actual costs themselves from from the aa element). Are the actual costs supposed to remain in the aa WBS element and not be settled? It seems unbalanced. Can anyone explain?

    Hi,
    Settlement process involves a sender object and a receiver object. Receiver object is the cost object on which actual cost incurred in the sender object is settled. RA is one of the receiver objects for settlement, but not the only one.
    Your scenario seems to be periodic calculation of WIP (result analysis) and final settlement of production orders.
    The periodic WIP (RA) postings done in FI are reversed and replaced with COGM when the production order is finally delivered. The entries in FI at this stage is based on the "Standard Price" maintained in the material master (depending on the valuation variant). Then the final settlement of production order takes place and the total actual cost is arrived at. The difference in cost between "actual cost" and standard price" is settled to RA as a separate entry.
    The reversal of entries when the production is delivered (as explained above) ensures that cost is not reckoned twice.
    Hope this explanation meets your requirement.
    If so, you may like to close the thread. Otherwise, please revert.
