Behaviour of Distribution rules of an Investment measure

Hi,
For Investment Measures (Internal Orders or WBSE) which are in REL status & AUC got created automatically, the distribution rules also get automatically created taking the AUC as receiver.
Any observations on the condition as mentioned below? :-
"Over a period of time, lets say after the 1st periodic settlment (or before also), distribution rules disappear (both in change / display modes of the object) but when you run respective settlements system behaves normally & settles the value to the same AUC".
regards

REL status & AUC got created automatically, the distribution rules also get automatically created taking the AUC as receiver.
Settlement rules will not be created automatically when AUC is created. it will be created only during first settlement run.
Over a period of time, lets say after the 1st periodic settlment (or before also), distribution rules disappear (both in change / display modes of the object)
If you dont see the settlement rule before first settlement run, it is a std behaviour. But I dont think it will disapper after you run settlement.

Auto generation of settlement rule for PM orders that are Investment Measur

Hi all
Has anyone successfully automatically generated settlement rules on a PM order that is an Investment measure? The settlement receiver would be an asset. User exit IWO10027 doesn't work. Std settings don't work either because a settlement rule is auto generated for the AUC on the order during settlement (Note 195607) because of IM.
Any ideas?
Thanks
CC

for a PM order as investm,ent measure the system assumes that you wish to create an AuC hence no other settlement rule generation is allowed
you can try by removing the asset class in the IM profile

Profit Center & Distribution Rule - figures not shown in P&L

hi experts,
I have created a distribution rule which consists of 5 profit centers as following:
Sales1 20%
Sales2 20%
Sales3 20%
Sales4 20%
Sales5 20%
I posted a JE with amount of 2000 to one of my expense accounts with distribution rule tagged in row level.
Run:
P&L statement with profit center Sales1 is selected (expected result: expense account 400)
Result:
Empty~NOTHING. (I believe 400 should be showing in my P&L right?)
Please advice on the statement above and PLEASE do not ask me to read previous threads as I had gone through them.

Hi,
The note 843508 explains the behaviour.
Hope it helps.

Asset Acquisition - Investment measure

Dear All,
Our client uses investment measures process for posting the acquitsition of fixed assets. We are facing a problem at the time of final settlement to the final asset. The system is not able to derive a profit center at the time of final settlement.
The following details might be useful -
1) Document splitting is active and profit center is mandatory in the document splitting settings
2) Investment order is created with Profit center A. The same is settled on an AUC periodically. Here the capitalisation entry is passed in Profit center A.
3) Two final assets are created with cost centers B & C. These are entered in the settlement rule (KOB5). When we execute the settlement we get an error saying that the profit center cannot be determined.
P.S If we put only one asset in the settlement rule, the settlement goes through smoothly. However, there is a problem - the entry is passed only in one profit center i.e. which is input in the cost center master (say B). This results in a
AUC value lying in Profit center A and the reversal of this in Profit center B.
Request you to provide a solution for this issue.
Regards,
SLS

Message no. AK005 - Asset is investment measure, transaction type not allow

Dear All,
I am getting following error while transfering Investment AuC to Main Asset.
Message no. AK005 - Asset is investment measure, transaction type not allow
I searched the Forum and got some input.., but in that I have a clarification.
Please see my doubt and the forum input.
Internal Order as Investment Measure:
Can you explain me Step 10. Settle the amounts to Main Asset from AuC(Prcg type: Full) - KO88 once again.
How we can give the Receiver Main Asset master in KO88. In KO88 we can only provide the Internal Order. But that Internal Order is already settled to AuC in Step 8.
Please guide me.
Thanks.

Re: Settlement of cost center to final asset ?
Posted: Oct 27, 2009 11:40 AM
Hi,
Are you doing any settlement using the AUC asset ?
Normal practice is to Create an Auc Asset and settle cost to Auc. Once the asset is ready for use, finally settle the Auc to final asset.
This can be done in two ways like - line item settlement / investment measure.
Below are steps in two scenarios :
Internal Order as Investment Measure:
1. Define the AuC Asset Class (with investment measure) - OAOA
2. Define the Asset Class u2013 for Main Asset - OAOA
3. Define Investment Profile - OITA
a. Assign the AuC Asset Class (Step-1) in the investment profile
4. Assign Investment Profile to Model Order - OITA
5. Define Order Type (Investment) - KOT2
a. Settlement Profile - OKO7
b. Maintain Allocation Structures - OKO6
c. Planning Profile - OKOS
d. Budget Profile - OKOB
6. Create an Internal Order - KO01
a. With the Investment Profile (Step-2)
b. AuC automatically created by the system using Asset Class given in the Investment Profile
7. Post the amounts to IO - FB01
8. Settle the amounts to AuC from IO (Prcg type: Automatic) - KO88
9. Create the Main Asset - AS01
10. Settle the amounts to Main Asset from AuC(Prcg type: Full) - KO88
AuC using Line Item Settlement:
1. Define the AuC Asset Class (with Line Item Settlement) - OAOA
2. Define the Asset Class u2013 for Main Asset - OAOA
3. Define Order Type (Overhead) - KOT2
4. Create an AuC-Asset (using Step-1 Asset Class) - AS01
5. Create an Internal Order - KO01
a. Assign the AuC u2013 Asset in Settlement Rule in IO
6. Post the amounts to IO - FB01
7. Settle the amounts to AuC from IO - KO88
8. Create Main Asset (using Step-2 Asset Class) - AS01
9. Assign the Main Asset in IO (Step-5) - KO02
10. Settlement AuC u2013 Line Item List - AIAB
11. Settlement AuC - Receiver - AIBU

nms,
Your message is not very clear - while you have mentioned at what stage are you getting the above-mentioned error message, you haven't mentioned exactly what you were trying to do. The fact that you are getting this error is a straight-forward indication that you are attempting to do something that SAP does expect.
However, answering your query about how to use KO88, you have to settle the AuC to a FA (fixed asset, with asset class other than AuC ), as that will close the open AuC, transfer the value from the AuC to the FA and from this point onwards, all transactions will happen to this FA. Your statement "in KO88, we can only provide the Internal Order" is incorrect.
Hope this helps.

AUC from Investment measure can't settle to the completed asset partially.

Dear.
I using IM module and AUC which made from Investment measure.
and I post cost to Investment order and settle to AUC periodically.
Some amount In nvestment order should be tranfer to the completed asset. so remained amount in that should be keep going on.
But, Investment order settlement rule only can be maintained by FULL settlement method.
It means, all amount that accumulated in Investment order must be settled.
What I want to do is the partial amount settle to the completed asset and remains left in investment order.
Of course, this investment order keep its function as collect the amount of AUC.
How can It be?

Hi,
Use KOB5 - Give the settlement rule - mention the required amount and asset code
Use KO88 and settle the asset by selecting Settlement Type - Partial Settlement

Muralidhar

Internal Order through Investment measure

Hi friends
I need help in the following issue:
I am creating Internal orders through Investment Measures.
When ever i create an internal order in the background it creates an AuC.
When I settle the IO the amount is posting to AuC.
After that I tried to Capitalize the AuC to main asset through AIBU transaction code, system throwing an error "Line item settlement is not possible for asset XXX XXXX".
Is this method of capitalizing right or any other method available to capitalize the AuC to Main Fixed Asset.
Please Advice me.

Capitalisation wouldn't be possible using AIBU in this case as your IO is an investement measure.
Options you've got to capitalise such AUC's is
1. Maintain the settlement rule on the IO with receiver as the final asset, set the status of the IO to TECO and then use T Code KO88 (Processing Type - Automatic) - Final Capitalisation
2. Maintain the settlement rule on the IO with receiver as the final asset and then use T Code KO88 (Processing Type - Partial Capitalisation) - Partial Capitalisation

Capitalization of AUC investment measure to asset

Hi,
I created a project and then settled corresponding WBS elements to AUC investment measure using CJ88.After that i am not able to capitalize to final asset.Please help me in procedure as I am not able to settle using normal line item settlement AUC as this is investment measure.

Hi Prad,
I am on 4.6C/D.
Please check on your settings for Capitalization of AUCs created through Investment Support Measures: -
1. Go to the IMG, Asset Accounting under Special Valuation and determine the Depreciation Areas you would like your Investment Support Measures to post to.
2. Still in Special Valuation, define an Investment Support Key and assign it to the relevant depreciation area
3. Also, define the relevant account determination for such posting under the Special Valuation
4. Proceed in the same area to define the Transaction type for the Investment Support Measure by changing any of the Standard ones in there in line with your requirements
5. Now move back to IMG, Asset Accounting then Master Data. Here you go to the screen layout and pick the relevant asset class for AUCs. Get this logical feild group and pick on the item Investment Support. Proceed to define its feild group rule as optional at the required asset maintenance level (Main Asset and/or Sub Level)
6. Leave the IMG and access the relevant AUC's Master Data from the User Menu. Click the tab Investment Support and insert the Investment Support Key you created in note 2 above
7. Now capitalise the AUC. Should work

Capitalization of Asset Under Conustruction(Investement Measure)

Hi Gurus.
I have created a Internal Order for AUC and posted expenses to that order. At the end of the period, i have settled the order using T.Code KO88.
How to capitalize part of the amount from that AUC to main asset. When i am trying to transfer to the amount using T.Code ABUMN, system is not allowing.
Please suggest me in this regard.
Thanks in Advance,
Ganesh

Hi,
Have you checked in the AUC asset class as Investment measures?
If it is Investment measures, you need to give second settlement rule for the same Internal order for transfering the value from AUC asset to main asset. Then do settlement again.

What is the Differance Between AUC Assets & Investment Measure Assets?

HI,
1. What is the differance between AUC Assets & Investment Measure Assets? How to settle the Investment Measure AUC assets to main asset?
2. When i create the Internal Order, The system should automatically creates the Settlement rule for the AUC asset. I dont want to create settlement Rule Manually.
Kindly help me what should i do if the system wants to create the Settlement Rule Automatically? It would be a great help for me if you can provide some inputs..

Activation of Investment Measures

Dear All,
I have actvated Investment Measure for Asset Master Data thro' Screen Lay out rules.
I am testing Low Value Asset Transfer now.
1. Is there any impact of change the LVA screen layout?
2. Any impact of the existing LVA values after activating the Inv. measures?
Need valuable guidelines from the experts.
Regards,
SS

An Investment Measure is only working when you assign it to an asset. When not like LVA then notting happen. (field should not be requered)
Even when you fill in an Investment Measure notting is happen when you don,t post values on it.
When you search on this forum you will found more information. Take special attention about the transaction types that where created when you saved the Investment Measure.

Adding data to Manual Distribution Rule from DIAPI

Hi
I am searching for the object to insert the data to OMDR (manual distribution rule) using DI API. Can any one help me out.
I found many questions related to adding data to manual distribution rule using DIAPI which were not answered.
Thanks in Advance.

hi.
Just check the below posts.

Changing the automatic Distribution Rule from Per to Full

Hello SAPians,
I have a scenario where the Customer is maintaining the Moving Average Price (I know this is not SAP suggested, I am in the process of convincing to move from moving avg to Std) for the Semi-finished goods and finished goods.
It is Product Cost by Order scenario where Process Orders are using and the settlement rule to the Material and distribution rule is "Per" (Periodic). The main reason Customer had this Per was they would not be able to settle the Order once they settle it in full.
But due to increased issues in month end atctivities due to thie 'Per' settlement (settlement of Process Orders not settling properly in the last month due to the failure of Batch jobs and other reasons). I want to suggest them to use Distribution Rule 'Full' instead of 'Per' because of the following advantages considering the above scenario.
1. The 'Full' settlement can be settled if the Order is not in Teco or closed status any number of times as long as there is the Variance sitting on the Order.
2. The 'Full' Distribution rule will not create issue if the variance is sitting on the Order in the closed period because when you do the settlement in the next period, system will allocate the variances from the last period to the Material Receiver in the current Period(I have not yet tested this scenario) and has not been. (Yeah I know there will be issue if the Material has been moved out of inventory before the settlement happens, they have another set up to update the Material prices manually by keeping the track of cost of Material).
3. So the config change will be the Product cost by Order -> Manufacturing Order-> Define Cost-Accounting-Relevant Default Values for Order Typ --> change the Default rule from PP1 to PP2 'Process orders (periodic settlement)'
Please let me know if what I am thinking is wrong based on this sceanrio and also please give me some more insight if I am missing any points.
Thank you very much for your time!
-Harter.

Hi Balaji/Ajay,
Could you please help me in understanding the effect of Variances if I change the Order type to FULL in this scenario (Moving Average price for Finished good Material)?
I checked the configuration and the Variance is only Total Variance that is settling to FI and COPA.
Also client is more concentrated on Variance accumulated per year and not per month.
Let's say I have Order in Period 9 where the actual debits on the Order are $1000 and actual credits are $1200 where balance (variance) is $200 and suppose I missed the Period 9 settlement and I want to settle this Order in Period 10 where I had $100 variance in that Period 10
Period         Variance on Order                Status
9              $200                   missed
10              $100                   not yet
So now when I settle the Order in period 10 (with FULL as settlement type), it settles $300 instead of $100 variance. So if this is the case, if I look at the Variance data, yes the variance data is wrong but if I look at yearly perspective, it looks right but I think I am missing something here, right?
Also what happens if the Order is open more than one year and the same scenario happens, the Variance will be posted to new year which is again issue, right?
Am I in the right direction?
Please advice.
Thank you,
-Harter.

Itu00B4s possible to change the Distribution rules for a order type RM01 ??

Hi Experts:
I need to change the settlement rule which is automatic created at the moment that you create a Cost colector (class order RM01) transaction KKF6N..
but when I go into KKF6N transaction and I select the "change" option and after that I go into settlement rule screen, I can´t change the distribution rule.
I would need to change the settlement type from "PER" value to "TOT" value.. It´is possible in this kind of Cost colectors??
Thanks and regards!
Manuel

Hi,
Please note that you will not be able to change manually the settlement rule for a cost collector.
When you save, the system creates a settlement rule for the product cost collector.
The settlement rule for the product cost collector always specifies the distribution rule "100% to material" and the settlement type is always PER (periodic).
Also refer the note 388457 in which one of the paragraph it says "As of Release 4.5, a special settlement rule is generated when you create a product cost collector (with procedure 5: delivery value for product cost collector). You cannot subsequently change this settlement rule".
