Configuring OKG8 in Results Analysis

When configuring OKG8, the results analysis key is not available for entry in the view. However, results analysis key field (ABGSL) does exist in the underlining table TKKAB. This is limiting when one wants to direct postings to different GL accounts based on the RA key. Using cost elements as a separator is not an option as categories in question are POCI and POCS and apportionment by line id is not supported. Instead the system uses the technical cost element in the RA version to direct postings to FI-GL.
any idea how to activate RA Key in this table and make the program use it to determine the reight set of GL accounts?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi,
The standard SAP will allow you to use this. check the RA configuration in OKG9. If still problem exist check the SAP note.

Thanks for your response. The categories that we use to calculate revenue are POCI and POCS. According to SAP they are not apportioned to line ID in the standard solution. Is there something I am missing?
Turning on an Assignment/RA key in the version provides the facility to assign a different cost element based on the RA Key for categories that have values apportioned into line ID. This does not seem an option for POCI and POCS.

Transaction Currency in Result Analysis - KKA2

Hi,
We have a Z program to calculate WIP for projects at the end of the month. This program in turn calls transaction KKA2 - Result Analysis. We have EUR as controlling area currency and INR as object currency (CC currency). Our projects have INR as project currency but the transactions are booked in USD EUR SGD and INR. We want to calculate WIP in transaction currency.
We checked and found that COSB table is updated with values in controlling area currency EUR and object currency INR. but transaction value(COSB-WTGXX) is not updated when we do KKA2. COSB is always updated with object currency(INR) and CO area currency(EUR) while value in transaction currencies are blank.
We tried to set transaction currency as default for project with transaction RPXN- CO-OM Information System: Settings but that did not help. We checked and found that in controlling area configuration indicator 'All currencies' is selected.
Will you please let me know if there is a way to update COSB with transaction currency values with configuration changes in Result Analysis version used for KKA2 or any other means?
Thanks for your help.
With Regards

Hi,
the requirement is bit surprising to me.
transaction currency is normally related to FI related transactions. Because either the you might bill to the customers in a currently other than co.code currency if it is required by the contract with customer or you might get bills from the vendor in a currency other than your co.code currency
This should not have any bearing on the controlling stuff.
When you post the values to CO, the values will be converted in to object currency and controlling area currency.
Result Analysis calcution will necessarily be in co.code and controlling area currency. There is no transaction currency involved here.
Hope this clarifies your question

How to configure Reserves Settings in WIP-Result Analysis Key

Hi,
I need to Capitalize the un-realized revenues/Cost?. I came to know that it can be fixed by doing configuration in Result Analysis Key. What are the settings that i need to do in WIP configuraion (Product Costing). Kindy help me or provide me some inputs to full fill this requirement.
Thanks
Kishore

Use Tcode OKG5 - Assign the required Cost elemnets to a Line ID, under "Req To Cap" coloum.

Documents related to Result analysis.

Dear All,
I have to use period end activities in my project for that i need some information about Result Analysis.and
I also request to send me Configuration Document of RA .....
Regards
Lallan.

Hi,
In short please follow these steps:
1. Maintain RA Key (Tcode :OKG1)
2. Maintain RA Version (Tcode :OKG2)
3. Define Valuation method for RA (Tcode : OKG3)
4. Define Line ID's
5. Define Assignment of RA (Tcode :OKG5)
6. Define Update for RA (Tcode : OKG4)
7 Define Posting rules for settlement to accounting (Tcode: OKG8)
8. Maintain the RA Key in Tcode: OPSA Controlling tab, if the Defualt RA key is to be maintained while creation of the project.
Beside this please follow the link below:

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.

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.
Andy

Zeketa,
Look this with an ABAP consultant, this is an development.

Results Analysis Settle Internal Order (from CRM) - No cost element allowed

In SPRO results analysis configuration to "Define Posting Rules for Settlement to Financial Accounting" I am not allowed to use an account with a cost element. (Error: I get error KQ 119 G/L account ### cannot be created as a cost element.)
I configure a G/L account with no cost element. KO88 Settlement posts to G/L account fine; however, does not post to the internal order because the config mentioned on first line does not allow me to use an account with a cost element.
Problem: I am unable to see settlement in KOB1 report because settlement goes to GL Account, but does not post to the internal order.
Failed solution: I tried to use OKC9 substitution at KO88 to substitute the internal order number. The problem is that table AUFKV is empty when the substitution runs at KO88 settlement. I am not able to substitute the order number because the order number isn't even available in the substitution at internal order settlement.
I put a break manual break point in program GBTACCOB at the call to the substitution rule I defined. The breakpoint stops at the substitution when I run KO88 settlement; however, fields are blank. I am unable to do substitution. I know this works because I have a similar substitution on the same internal order for accounting indicator when doing an MB1A goods issue to an internal order. The break point stops there and the AUFKV data is available for substitution rule.
Question:
Any suggested solutions to to have internal order update into KO88 settlement after KKA1 results analysis would be helpfull.

It is more of a reporting issue really.
The problem is that internal order settlement with settlement profile instead of results analysis does post the settlement to the internal order and does use a cost element. This is the business process the users currently have. Our users have a requirement to settle the orders weekly. This helps them find issues earlier and speeds up the month end close.
In the past we could use KOB1 and see the current balance of an internal order and see the settlement. Now that report no longer shows the settlement. How can I see what has been settled on an order and what hasn't now?

Result Analysis Valuation Method 3

Hi PS Experts,
The building block document on Profit Realization 'I58_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE' says that as per IAS 11 and 18, we need to configure Result Analysis Valuation Method 3 only which is cost based. Is it right and whether you are all having this valuation method in your SAP system where IFRS standards are applicable.
Then, in addition to this cost based Revenue Recognition through this valuation method 3, we would like to input realistic POC(Engineer's certificate) into the system. Whether it is possible and if so, how and what other valuation method we need to use with or with changes to a particular valuation method. Appreciate your valuable inputs on this.
Regards!

Hello,
Cost based POC i.e Method 3 is compliant with IFRS requirements. Other methods also are so.
The choice of RA method depends on value/risk/duration/revenue plan of the project. We use this method for high value projects running for a long time where there is a need to recognise revenue before actual billing.
Completed contract method is also used and very much in accordance with accouning principles.
For POC calculated through progress determination- say Engineer's certificate- you can use method 7.
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.

Result analysis (KKA2)

What are the business prerequisites for the use of revenue-based, cost-based and quantity-based percentage of completion in the result analysis (KKA2)

In order to comply with accounting standards, the value of work completed on projects in progress need to be capitalized. RA is used for this purpose.
For cost based RA, first calculate the percentage of completion (POC) = actual cost / plan cost * 100
POC * actual revenue gives the revenue attributable to the work competed so far (this is called calculated revenue). Compare calculated revenue and actual revenue booked in GL. This difference in value is capitalized / accrued by SAP when RA is properly configured.
This is suitable for consturction projects.
Revenue based:
Here the starting point is revenue.
POC = actua revenue / plan revenue
calculated cost = POC * plan cost.
The difference between calculated cost and actual cost is capitalized / loss is recognized.
Let me know if you have any questions.

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,
Sai.

Results Analysis Message KJ436

While setting up Results Analysis for the POC method (03) and executing transaction KKA2, we got the following message. Both the CO version and the RA version are set to the same valuation (Group valuation). Any help would be appriciated.
Basic RA version must have valuation category "0" (operational valuation)
Message no. KJ436
Diagnosis
If a version has actual data (see basic version setting), it must be relevant to settlement in results analysis (see maintenance of version of results analysis).
If a version does not have actual data (see basic version setting), it cannot be relevant to settlement in results analysis (see maintenance of the version of results analysis).
Procedure
1. Check the basic version setting in the maintenance of the general versions.
2. Modify the results analysis version to conform to the basic version setting.
3. Turn the indicator Version relevant to settlement on or off, whichever is appropriate.We are using CO plan version 0 (see below) and it is set for actual and plan. The RA version (0) (also below) is marked as being relevant to settlement. These settings seems to address the error message but I guess we are missing something.

Hai Mikhail
As u mentioned u set the RA method for POC3 in OKG3.
Assuming maintained in OKG3 - the status control ,profit Basis,Valuation Level and its Minimum Values.
Is the RA version been maintained in OKG2 ?
In OKG2 - need to maintain the RA version with respect to the Controlling Area like 0 or 1.
Is OKG8 has been maintained on the Posting Rules - means where the RA version should have the corrsponding Profit & loss account number and Balance sheet account number.
Kindly check and verify according to the relevant RA used/picked using OKG1 in Config - OKG2(maintain RA versions), OKG3(valuation methods for RA), Define Line ID's , OKG5 ( Assignment of Cost elements for WIP and RA) , OKG4( update of WIP calculation and RA) , OKG8 ( Posting rules in WIP and RA) .
If all these maintained u will definetelu get the KKA2 result.
ENJOY SAP PS

Which Results Analysis Method is good for LOSS Projects?

Dear Experts,
Our client have Loss projects scenario.
for Eg. Plan Revenue_: 100,
Plan Cost__________: 120
Loss______________: = -20
Loss 20 should post in accounts at first period end closing time itself for that which Results Analysis Method can help me for it. Plz give me your valuable solution soon.
Thanks
Bhagirath

Hi,
which RA Method you are using.
If you are using method 01 then in OKG8,Choose RA Cat RIML(Reserves for Imminent loss) or if you are using 03 method then use POCL .Assign the GL accounts againt these RA cat one B/S Account and one P&L (not a Cost element).
