CCA to COPA allocation cycles with cumulative tracing factors

Hello
we are looking for a functionality to use tracing factors but cumulating forward and not backwards : hereafter the example.
Cost occur on cost center in month 1, 2 and 3. We would like to allocate these costs based on the generated revenue in month 2, 3 or more.
Tracing factors Sales Quantity seem only to work for past sales up to the current period. We have systematically unallocated costs in month 1 as the Sales in COPA only occur in following months.
Has anyone already encountered this ?
Thanks for your help
Best regards,
Philippe Meyer

I doubt cumulative ytd allocation is possible in KEU1. The 'cumulative' indicator in the KSU1 header screen, is not visible in KEU1.

COPA Assessment Cycle Process

Hi

If u have any document,can u send it to me... praviin_5at yahoo.co.in

Hi,
COPA assessment cycle is used to bring the overhead values, cost center values to copa through copa assessment cycle. for that you have to create a COPA assessment cycle in KEU1 with senders, receivers value fields. After that you have to execute KEU5 t code.

COPA Assessement - reciever tracing factors getting multiplied

HI All,
COPA assessment cycle has been defined to send the costs from cost centers to COPA profitability segments. Posted revenue has been used as tracing factors. My question is regarding calculation of tracing factors.
The revenue for receivers is 22.22 and 444, however when the cycle is executed, the receiver tracing factors as shown in test run screen is 44 and 888. System is internally doubling the receiver tracing factors while executing the cycle in KEU5. Although the receiver values are correct in absolute terms, Users cannot understand why the receiver tracing factors are multiplied
Why do the tracing factors get multiplied?
Thanks & Regards
Pooja Saxena

HI Ajay
Thanks for responding, My error is coming when i am trying to execute the assessment cycle, In some segments, the tracing factor got multiplied by 10!
So not always doubles
When you execute the cycles where reciver tracing factor is displayed in the output, is it always equal to the value that is in the system or some multiple of the same
Thanks & Regards

Tracing factor

Hi Friends,
In assessment cycle, if skf is used as tracing factor, how can I see this setting of skf in the cycle?
How does an SKF work?
Is my understanding correct , as described:
1. Canteen is used by 3 departments .
2. Each department has the following number of employees:
Dept A : 10
Dept B : 15
Dept C : 20
Using the above ratio, is cost allocated using skf of employee numbers simply as follows:
Cafeteria cost $1000
Cost allocated to Dept A : [10 / (101520) ] * 1000?
likewise for the rest of departments?
Is it just like what I described above? Kindly confirm for me if I am correct.
regards
Markus

Yes, it's exactly works in the same way. SKfs can be displayed using CCA reports or else during run time of assessment cycle in the 'tracing factor'

Receiver tracing factor rule

Hi all,
In KSU3, I see there are few selection of receiver rule.
May I know what are the purpose for the below?
variable portions
fixed amount
fixed percentage
fixed portion
Thanks alot
help.sap.com

Hi,
check if these divisions have any postings under cost element 627800. It's because you've selected variable portions with receiver tracing factor cost element 627800.
Why don't you use fixed percentages or fixed portions instead of variable portions?

Reciever tracing factor in COPA assessment cycle

Hi All,
I have account-based COPA and am trying to create COPA cost center assessment cycle in Tcode KEU2. While filling the reciever tracing factors, i can see the following values
RCMEGI     Total Quantity
RCWKFI     Fixed Costs
RCWKGI     Total Costs
However i need to define another key figure based on headcount
Can anyone help me with how to create additional Amount/Qty Field for the assessment cycle. Where would be above be defined?
Thanks & Regards
Pooja Saxena

Hi Christian
Are you suggesting that the costs from cost center be allocated upon, say, some IOs based on SKF and then settling the IOs to COPA?
This would be very cumbersome to create as many IOs as the possible combinations of Customer/ product / Other receiver chars
Or are you suggesting some thing else which I could not catch?
Also, new qty field can be created in KEA6... Values updated for this thru KE21N will work for acct based COPA?

How to analyse the Receiver Tracing Factor in COPA Assessment cycle -KEU5

Hi
While executing the COPA Assessment cycle,we will get receiver tracing factor.My client wants to know how we got that.How can i analyse that Receiver tracing factor?Kindly advice me...
How can I recalculate the tracing factor for assesstment?
For example, Actual Assessment Cycle RS_A01 under Segment ITCMFG2AD uses Variable Portions Rule for Receiver tracing Factor with Value Field of 62 Sales.
The intent of this assessment was to be allocated based upon sales dollar values however when I review the test calculation, it appears the tracing factor is in billions of dollars when our monthly sales are in the million of dollars range.
Supriya

Hi,
If Receier Tracing Factor Rule is Variable Portion, then please also check the Receiver Weighting factor (the last tab in the assessment cycle, it normally is 100 for the receivers.
Secondly also check if there is different currency setting in CO Area & the Operating Concern which translates into different figures.
Hope this works.

COPA-Assessment cycle KEU5

We have run cost center -assessment cycle for a cost center group and all the cost of the profit centers are distributed to respective costcenters.And now we goto COPA-Assessment cycle KEU5 and run the cycle for the cycle with same cost center group as sender.
System posts a difference amount of positive amount in the credit side of each costcenter of that group.Which reduces the credit value and shows in over/under absorption.
Please suggest where from the system is finding the difference when all the costcenters are with zero value as cost is distributed thru CCA assessment cycle.What differences will a cycle run in co-pa determine.Please suggest.

Hi,
Actually, the Sales overhead and Corporate expenses which are captured in the Cost Center shall be allocated to the COPA. All other expenses captured in other Cost Centers shall be allocated to the Production and shall be absorped into the products manufactured. Hence, the same Cost Center shall not be used as sender in both the cycles. If we use like what you described, it will definitely result in over absorption that is more credits. Hence, please describe why need to add the same Cost Center group in both the CC cycle and Copa CC cycle.
Trust this helps much!
Cheers!

How to calculate Tracing Factor in Assessment cycle

Hi,
Kindly help me How to Calculate Tracing Factor in Assessment Cycle
Is it the total of revenue for that division multiplied by the tracing factor (100)?
Kindly advice me
Thanks
Supriya

Hi Supriya,
1. If you are using Assessment Cycle for allocation of cost among cost centers, then, the Receiver Tracing Factor selection will by and large depend on your allocation purpose and basis.
Whether you want to allocate the costs on fixed percentages, OR , on the basis of Variable Proportions ( in which you can allocate the costs on the basis of some Statistical Key Figures data / already existing costs in those cost centers etc).
2. If you are using Assessment Cycle for the purpose of transferring values to COPA, in that case, the Receiver Tracing Factor can be selected and the basis can be any Value Field (basis on the value which is there in that value field). Pls chk the transaction code KEU1 / KEU2
Pls try to explain your complete requirement so as to suggest how u have to create cycle.

COPA Assessment Cycle

Hi,
I prepared one copa assessment cycle(T.code : KEU1) with a receiver type -Variable portions / Revenue with Billing type (F) . When i run the COPA Assessment cycle , i got a message that no sender values found. I created some revenue entries in the period 12 and some Cost center related expenditure.
I prepared another cycle with receiving type as fixed amounts. When i run the KEU5 , The values are perfectly flowing.
Any inputs on this. Thanks in advance.
Thanking You,
D.K.Lakshmi Narayana

Hello Pran,
With reference to your Error
1) Please check the value of Sender. I think it is 0.
2) In second case please add the reported GL in allocation structure KF which you are using.
Hope this will help you.

Unable to create the Distribution cycle with WBS Element as Receiver

Dear SAP Friends,
I am creating the Distribution cycle in KSV1, Sender is Cost center and Receiver is WBS element.
Once i select Receiving tracing factor Tab i am getting the error like :
Message :
No valid receiver entries exist
Message no. GA015
Diagnosis
You have established a group of receivers by entering either intervals or groups in the selection criteria. However, in the master data check, the SAP System cound not find any valid receivers in your selected group.
System Response
The single value entry screen is not shown.
Procedure
Check your entries for the selection criteria. It is possible that the master data is locked. You can get more info be choosing "Error log...".
Please let me know how we need to create the Assesment cycle for WBS elements as receivers and Cost centre as Sender.
Let me know in this Regard ASAP..

Anand

We are encountering a simiilar situation related to Cost Center Assessements to a Work Order (Order Category 30) I'm thinking the promble is related to a similar situation that you had with a WBS.
Thanks,

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.
Rahul

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.
