CO-PA posting to value field

Hi
Can some help on the question below:
Even if we have assigned condition types to value field in CO-PA, what could be the reason the value doesn't flow to value field? What could be the error?
Thank you.

Nivi,
To better answer your question, I have a quick question:
What is the transaction you are doing - Goods Issue/Billing etc? If it's Goods Issue, I guess you might know, but wanted to make sure that this would not update CO - PA.

2 Sales order types to post to 2 value fields

Hi,
Previously, 2 sales order types ZSA4-samples med. & ZSA5-samples adv. posts to one value field which is VV310 Local mktg mgt. Business users now requires these sales order types to post to 2 new separate value fields.
So, in Controlling I assigned condition types Z231 VAT Expense & Z232 VAT Exp/Sample FOC to value fields VV230 & VV201 respectively.
The SD consultant then changed the ZTHV07 pricing procedure to include these 2 condition types by creating 2 new steps and assigning them to routines 914 & 915. I am not sure if I should change these routines.
ZSA5 sales order type is posting correctly to value field VV201 but ZSA4 is also posting to VV201. It should post to VV230.
Thanks to advise if there's any setting whether in SD or CO I should change.
P.S.
The following are the other configurations inside the system:
ZSA4 & ZSA5 sales order types are assigned to D (Sample) document pricing procedure.
Pricing procedure ZTHV07 is assigned to document pricing procedure D.
Thanks and regards,
Thess

Let us understand more on your requirement.
For doc.type ZSA4, you want to have only condition type Z231. And for doc type ZSA5, you want to have only condition type Z232. Therefore, each document type will post to COPA to correct value field.
Well, then if that's the case, I would say your requirement number 914, 915 doesn't work (it's definitely on SD side). They are developed based on your requirements so I cannot comment since it is not standard routine.

Info about a new value field in a live operating concern

Hi Team,
I'm working on 4.7 system.
I have a live Operating Concern with 120 value fields in "Active" Status.
Some of them never have been posted until now. I need a new "Quantity type" value field, but I can't create another one because I already have 120.
In addition, the value fields that have not been used until now are "Amount type" ones.
Is it possible to delete or modify one of these value files and create another "Quantity type" one, considering that Operating Concern is productive? And how can I do it? What kind of problems could I have?
Best Regards,
Gio

Hi Gio,
Good evening and greetings,
Please go through the SAP Note No.21207 on Deleting a Characteristic / Value Field from an active Operating Concern. This should clarify your questions.
Please reward points if the note is of some use to you.
Thanking you,
With kindest regards

KE28 Top-down distribution for only part of the Value Field

Hi Experts,
We have a situation where we will make manual postings in CO-PA through KE21N. Part of this postings will be at the lowest detailed level and part will be for a more summarized level od characteristics. All the postings will flow to the same value field.
We need to make a top-down distribution only for the postings that were made in a summarized level, because the other postings already have the details that we need.
Is it possible?
Kind Regards
Mayumi Blak

Hi Venkata,
Please note that :-
you can not distribute to a characteristic that already contains a
value. Please see note 77476. If you want to distribute to eg.
profit center, then the characteristic must be initial (in the data
to be distributed).
In the case where the log showed "number of receivers" but no line
written is a common problem in transaction KE28 logged by customers.
One example is that, if the amount of line items is 0.00 for all the
receivers, no line item will be written.
No values in reference data:
If there are no values in reference data for some segments (see the
log). No records are posted (segments which were distributed, but
their value is zero i.e. there is no value to be distributed, are not
posted).
No initial values in the distribution level (ie. # - non assigned)
in each of the characteristics in distribution level.
Kind Regards,

How to post null values from h:inputText?

Hello,
I have a form made of h:inputText fields that map to an entity class as the backing bean. Whenever I post the form from a web page, all the fields that I did not fill out and that are mapped to String fields in the entity class are set to "" (empty string) instead of null.
However, I would like to post null values to my entity, because that would indicate that the user did not fill out the field. In other contexts (outside of the web app) it is possible to set the fields to empty strings, but from the web app it should always be null. How can I get JSF to do this correctly?
Also, when reading entitys with null values from the database, these are converted to empty h:inputText fields, so this direction works as expected.
Ulrich

I haven't seen a solution for this as far.
This is how I do it:
public void action() {
    if (isEmpty(inputValue)) {
        // do your thing
    } else {
        // do your thing
public static boolean isEmpty(Object value) {
    if (value == null) {
        return true;
    if (value instanceof String && ((String) value).trim().length() == 0) {
        return true;
    if (value instanceof Collection && ((Collection) value).size() == 0) {
        return true;
    // And go so on .. make it an utility method.
    return false;
}

Settle Production Variances to COPA- Cost elements and Value fields

Dear All,
I know this question has been discussed in the past, but I have one specific doubt regarding this topic.:
When assigning cost elements to variance categories in t-code KEI1, how do we figure out what combination of cost elements (in the top half of the screen) constitute Input Price Variance, Scrap variance etc (in the bottom half of the screen)? I know the net of the postings on those cost elements tells us what variances we are looking it, but how do we get the cost elements (group) for let's say, 'Input/Output Quanity Varinace or 'Lot size Variance' ?
Or is this a futile exercise? May be I should just create three types of variances: Labor, Machine and Overhead. And I know what cost elements (net of the postings) would, in total, make up the $ variance in each of those categories. I can then use them in my report painter reports.
Please help clear the fog for me.
Ajay?
Thanks a lot,
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
Welcome to SDN!!
There are 2 ways of updating variances in COPA... I Prefer the 2nd option always...
1. Category wise variances (Input Prc, Usage var, etc) - Here, create a Cost ele group, where in you include all the Cost elements that can be posted to the Prod orders
For the sake of simplicity, you can include Cost elements 1 to 99999999 in the Cost element group...
2. Cost Comp Structure wise variances -
a. Create as many assignment lines in PA Trf Structure as in your Cost Comp Str...
Eg: If your Cost Comp Str in OKTZ has Raw Mat, Labor, Overhead - Create 3 Assignments in PA Trf Structure..
b. Assign the same cost elements in the SOURCE as in the Cost Comp Str
c. Choose the radio button "Costs/Revenues" in your assignment line, instead of " Variance on Production orders"
d. Assign each Assignment line to a separate Value Field

COPA Re-alignment fro new value field

Hi,
I would like to know if the COPA realignment would popolate the values for a new value field for the past transactions.

Hi Jayram,
Thanks for the response.
Yes I want to either change the mapping for a existing quantity value fields or add another value fields for quantity. I am exploring this 2 options.
In both cases I want to populate the data for the history records. i.e for the transactions that have been posted till this change.
Is this possible in COPA.

Value Field in PA Document

Hi,
We are seeing a difference while doing an automatic posting and manual posting of an GL transaction.
After posting a document, going to T.code:FB03 giving the document number and looking into the document and from there going to Environment>Document environment>Accounting document-->Selecting (Profitability analysis document)
Here when the CO-PA document opens in tab 2- Value fields on the bottom we have Foreign currency/operating currency/local currency.
What is exactly happening here is when we post documents manually in foreign currency it is still showing as Local currency. But something interesting is when the documents are automatically posted it is showing foreign currency.
I hope there is something maintained in derivation rule. Please help me to solve this query...
Thanks in advance

any suggestions please...

COPA - New value field defined as "Last Value"

Hi experts:
We have defined a new value field that it is integrated as a 'LAST VALUE' instead of 'SUM'. However, when posting different entries the amount continue to sum instead of showing the last value. The new value field has the same behaviour as a sum value field. In KE30 all entries are summarized and in table CE3XXXX I can see all entries summarized.
Now, I have to entries (100 + 125) for the same characteristics and the value field show the total amount 225 instead of the last value 125.
Thanks in advance for your help
Best regards
   Jose

Hi,
      The 'last value' is typically used for no of employees or some similar value where the last number is really important. In such cases it does not make sense to use this field in KE30 reports and take the sum of these values.
    In such cases only the last entry posted is important from reporting purpose. Also this type of value fields are important in planning.

How to create Formula based value field in COPA

Hi,
I want to know how to create formula based value field in COPA
My Requirement is i want to collect some value in formula based value field and want to use in copa allocation cycle as a tracing
factor.
anybody give some light on the same topic or requirement ?
Thanks
Nilesh R

The key figure you are creating in KE2K is not a value field, i.e. you can't post to it and you can't use it in a report. It is a caluculated value that can be used only in assessment and top-down-distribution.
In Ke2K, enter a name for your key figure, then click on the the white sheet button to create it. Now the formular area is open for input. Input your formular (e.g. VV001 + VV002 - VV003 .... where VVXXX are the technical names of value fields).
Now click the "check formuar"-button. Then save.
Before you can use the key figure in assessment, execute TC KEUG.
Now the key figure is available as any value field in the tracing factor selection of your assessment cycle.
I hope this made it clearer.
Regards
Nikolas

Changing Value field in COPA

Hi,
We have already posted a billing document. The material contains alternative unit of measurement. In the material master the alternative unit of measurement has been maintained wrongly. Due to this the report in copa shows a wrong picture in terms of units sold and the respective COGS for the material. Now we have changed the alternative unit of measurement.
But how to change the value in the value field. Kindly help me in this regards
Example: Material 1 Base unit : M2, Sale unit PC. Alt UOM wrongly maintained: 1 pc = 100 M2. Sold qty = 10 Pc, sold qty in Base unit : 1000 M2. Actual UOM : 10 PC = 100 M2, Actual old qty : 10 PC , 100 M2.
Regards

Hi Vasantha,
For this you can do manually cancel copa line item by using
T CODE- KE4S00 ofter you post line item correctly (please maintain correct alternative unit of measurement )by using
T CODE - KE21n .
K.Satish
With this method you will delete CO-PA line item and you will loose connection to the original billing document.

You have to declare the l_lotno and l_batno as global variables.
here they are local variables and their scope is withing the block in which they are defined.
Declare them outside the blocks(Performs etc)
