Copa and cost acct document

hi,
need advice on the below.
1) during migo and miro, if there is price difference, system will create profitability analysis document. this is directly go to copa. may i know where is the customising to have this hapen?
2) in migo and miro, when there is a price difference, system will create both copa and cost accounting document. why?
thanks

1) during migo and miro, if there is price difference, system will create profitability analysis document. this is directly go to copa. may i know where is the customising to have this hapen?
        In OKB9, we activate the indicatior "PRFSEG" and in KEi2, we assign the cost element to a value field in FI transfer structure 
2) in migo and miro, when there is a price difference, system will create both copa and cost accounting document. why?
           Cost accounting document is statistical while copa document is real.
helpful remarks must be rewarded

  • Costing COPA and cost element category '1' for Revenue and COGS

    Hi,
    In my SAP environment historically Revenue GL accounts were created as cost element with category '1' (costs) and are being posted against cost centres. I know it is not SAP best practice, but it has been working like that in here for years. We have not activated and used COPA so far.
    I am currently analysing options of implementing costing based COPA. I wonder if the fact that Revenue and COGS accounts are created as cost element with category '1' should cause any issues with COPA.
    I know that in a perfect world it should be '11' for revenues and '12' or no cost element for COGS, I just hope we can leave CE category '1'.
    Thank you,
    Karol

    Hi Ajay,
    Thank you for explanation. I feared it would cause issues. However, I checked with one company code that has active COPA.
    It has two Revenue accounts: one set as '11' , which is used for most automatic SD postings and other one with '1' category which is 'Other revenues' - sometimes used for automatic postings (configured in VKOA for services) and often used for manual revenue postings.
    What I noticed is that documents posted for this 'Other Revenues' were posted against cost centre but also profitability segment was populated. However, it was only populated with sales quantity, no Revenue value field was updated. It must have been configured so it does not show error in COPA but update is not complete in PA table. No COGS split value fields are updated as these postings refer to services.
    What I also obseved is that all COGS accounts are set as '1' and are linked to cost centre. But this seems to not affect COPA and it creates COPA document with correct COGS split into cost component category value fields.
    So I assume this is only issue for Revenue accounts with '1'. COGS can be left with '1' for time being.
    Do you know which config for Revenue account  with '1' might have stopped COPA from giving error while posting invoices in SD?
    Thank you,
    Karol

    HI
    Costing-based Profitability Analysis is the form of profitability analysis that groups costs and revenues according to value fields and costing-based valuation approaches, both of which you can define yourself. It guarantees you access at all times to a complete, short-term profitability report.
    Account-based Profitability Analysis is a form of profitability analysis organized in accounts and using an account-based valuation approach. The distinguishing characteristic of this form is its use of cost and revenue elements. It provides you with a profitability report that is permanently reconciled with financial accounting

  • COPA : Accounting Based and Costing Based

    Hello Guru's,
    We are on ECC 6.0 and BI 7.3. Our customer is going to implement Accounting based COPA and Costing based COPA in ECC. We have a requirement to have both the Accounting based and Costing based COPA analysis  available in BI. 
    My questions and concerns:
    If we configure both type of COPA in ECC then Can we create both type of data sources also in ECC  ? one for Accounting based COPA and one for Costing based copa ?  If yes then do we need to have 2 infocubes in BI  or one infocube with mapping of both the data source will work ? ... do please correct me or suggest me.

  • Account-based COPA and having Cost Center as Real Object in Sales Order

    Hi,
    We have recently activated account-based COPA and in our SO, we realized the Profitability Segment being populated- that is not a problem in normal scenarios.
    However, in some cases, we would like to charge to a cost center instead of COPA. We have tried the 2 ways mentioned in the forum/on the web to include Cost Center in Sales Order:
    1. Go to OVF3 t-code and configure a default cost center for the order reason
    2. Change the SD Document Category under 'Define Sales Document Types' to 'I- Order w/o charge'.
    However both ways only open the Cost center field but still populates the COPA. At accounting entries, cost center will become a statistical object and COPA, the real object- which is not what we want.
    Is there a way to stop the auto-populating of Profitabiltiy Segment in SO when cost center is being entered?
    Thanks very much in advance for any suggestions.
    Regards,
    Huimin

    Solved by myself, with help of OSS Note: 44381 - Profitability Segment Not Required in SD Postings. Have a CO substitution rule to clear away the Profitability Segment number based on certain conditions. Thanks!

  • COPA derivation for thecombination of Cost center and Cost element/GL accou

    Hi Gurus,
    In COPA derivation using KEDR i am trying to make a derivation for the
    combination of Cost center and Cost element. Here i got following problems
    • While posting FI document using t.code FB50 system not automatically
    updating the fields Cost center and cost element in Profitability
    segment. Hence system not posting COPA document. How can i make this
    derivation? Is there any note should i apply regarding these.
    • How can i create cost element as characteristic.
    • If i configure derivation for the combination of Cost center and cost
    element will it be posted with copa document for postings or automatic
    postings from MM,HR and FI
    Pls provide me solution at the earliest.
    Thanks and Best regards,

    Hi Murali
    Thanks for update
    I explain my req clearly
    For me segment is Distribution channel field (EXPORT and DOMESTIC)
    If GL account is 1000-2000     always                      Export
    If GL account is 2001-3000    and Cost center is     X then Export.
    If GL account is 2001-3000    and Cost center is     Y then Domestic.
    Based on above REQ i am making derivation using KEDR T.code.
    These postings should work for all modules postings such as MM, HR also.
    Actually this should work automatically and after saving the transaction we should have copa document also.
    But problem is in source fields of derivation we have GL account (HKONT) and Cost element (KSTAR). I am making derivation using either of these.
    But after posting document system not giving COPA document.
    I found the reason is  at GL postings we are giving input to GL account (HKONT) but we took in KEDR source field as GL account (SAKNR). GL account (HKONT) is not updating GL account (SAKNR) field in PSEG screen in Fb50. Even i try with cost element (KSTAR), GL account (HKONT) is not updating this in PSEG screen in fb50.
    If GL account (HKONT) updates either GL account (SAKNR) or cost element (KSTAR) at the time of posting FB50
    Or
    If we have the field GL account (HKONT) as source field in KEDR i hope my problem
    Get solved.
    If you want further info pls give me your mobile number then i ll call you

  • Cost of sales flow in COPA and its detailed breakdown cost component f

    Hi ,
    we have a requirement that we need details about what makes cost of sales numbers in COPA.
    i know the our VPRS value is flowing into COPA as COGS but now we want that we should have ite detailed breakdown as per cost components.
    can you please tell me detailed configuration steps to make this happen so that we can create a new COPA ke30 report which gives us the breakdown of the COGS numbers.
    one more requirement is that for purchase parts our client is maintaing price PB00 condition and some other conditions like brokerage, freight etc in the info record for those materials and they want that all these conditions value should add up to show the COGS value for these purchase parts in the COPA report.. how do we do that?
    please reply soon...
    Thanks in advance,
    Gurjit

    Hi Balaji
    Which cost elements are you talking about? You can directly make FI postings to COPA in F-02 by clicking on "Prf Seg"
    Note that a cost element will either be posted to COPA or Cost Center or Internal order or WBS element... Real posting happens only to one of these...
    Out of these, some Cost Centers merge into COGM/COGS i.e. Std cost and this is reflected as COGS.... The variance is posted as variance in COPA
    Some cost centers like Marketing which do not form part of COGM/COGS, can be allocated from CO to COPA using KEU5...
    This is how the values flow to COPA

  • What is the impact of business area and cost center in the sales document

    Hi all
    I have small doubt regarding what is the impact of bussiness area and cost center in the sales document... what is the uses of these (bussiness area, cost center) is help full for sd module
    can any one reply plz....
    Thanking you

    Hi,
    Business Area determines where the revenue should be allocated when you sell a material or a service.
    For eg: If your customer is in say Mumbai and he is ordering for a service in Delhi (say DIAL - Delhi International Airport Limited) then based on the terminology.
    Your customer would belong to B Basis Business Area - WHERE THE REVENUE IS COMING FROM or WHERE YOUR CUSTOMER BELONGS TO (SALES OFFICE).
    Whereas your DIAL sales will belong to A Basis Business Area - WHERE THE REVENUE IS GOING TO.
    Cost Center would determine where your allocate your cost to.
    Say Rounding Off can be used as a cost element, because some sort of revenue is lost when figures are roudned off..
    Hope it clarifies your doubt.
    Reward points if satisfactory

  • 1 Operating Concern for Account Based and Cost Based COPA

    Hi,
    We are using Operating Concern 3000 for Account Based and Cost based Profitability Analysis. However when i try to extract data from the account based Operating concern it gives me an error in extraction : error 09.
    Could it be that we cannot use one operating concern for both types or COPA?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Have you deactivated any of the characteristics used in Account based COPA
    Check KEQ3 and you may have activated only for Costing based COPA

  • Difference in Price per unit and Standard cost between COPA and PCA

    Hi
    I did a comparison between COPA and PCA for January. For few products,there is a difference in the Standard cost and PPU between the two reports(product wise). What might possibly be the reason for the difference. And how to analyze the root cause of this difference.
    Thanks
    Jaswanth

    Hi
    By PPU - Do you mean PUP i.e. Per Unit Price of Material Ledger??
    If yes, then you are not comparing apple to apple.. Std cost is bound to be diff than actual cost

    Hi,
    Please try using SREL_GET_NEXT_RELATIONS. Please try to search on SDN and you should find an example fo this. The only thing you need to pass is the Business Object Name for Vendor Invoice number. Or if you have an alternal field like even PO that you can pass , that will be of great help as well.

    Data Source-Accounting Base:
    When we generate CO-PA Data Source select accounting based option.
    Fields KOKRS, BUKRS, KSTAR are compulsory.
    There are no Characteristics available for line Items because accounting based data sources do not contain characteristics.
    There are no value fields or calculated key figures available
    KOKRS and PERIO must be selected as selection fields.
    To Provide Data Source for BW all CO-PA Data Sources must be generated in the Source System.
    Data Sources can be defined at Operating Concern and client level.
    Data Source Contains the following Information
    Name of the Operating Concern
    Client
    Subset of the Characteristics
    Subset of the Value fields
    Time Stamp which data has already been loaded in to BW.
    Cost based:
    Cost based CO-PA is the form of Profitability Analysis that groups costs and Revenues according to value fields and costing based valuation approaches,both of which you can define your self.
    It gaurentees you can access at all times to complete,short-term profitability report.
    In Overhead cost controlling primary postings are made to objects in overhead cost controlling and assigned to relevant cost object. Actual cost of goods manufactured also assigned to cost objects and at the same time performing cost centers are credited
