COPA and FI Reconciliation

Hi Sapients,
In a costing based Profitability analysis:
What options do we have inorder to send values to COPA for any manual FI postings for Cost of Sales -Manual and Sales Manual? Assuming that Cost of Sales Manual account and Sales Manual account are NOT created as cost elements.
Thank you

  • COPA and FI reconciliation report

    Hi All,
    We are implementing costing based COPA for Product wise profitability report and revenues will be uploaded directly to COPA through external data transfer. The revenue g/l are made on the nature of services provided by the company and not to products offered by the client.
    My queries are:
    1. Is there any possibility to provide FI &COPA reconciliation report within COPA.
    2. Is there any possibility to provide reconciliation report to check variance between FI vs System (Auto feed) data before uploading to CO-PA.(As the data which is to be posted to COPA will also be provided in Ztable in SAP).
    3.Is there any possibility to give selection parameter  ( Region hierarchy/ Product hierarchy wise) along with date parameter in a Profitability report in COPA.
    Regards
    Nitisha

    Hi NItu
    1. No, there is no such report possible
    2. Same as above.
    3. Yes, its possible.,. You need to have those chars in COPA
    For 1 and 2 - To minimise the cases of reco, post to COPA through FI i.e. when you post to FI, choose PSG as the CO object

  • Reconciliation of  costing based COPA and account based COPA

    hi experts,
                 I want reconciliation statement of A/c based copa and costing based copa through SAP. we have not configured any account based copa reports. now we are manually doing the reconciliation. Please tell me the configuration.
    Thanks & regards

    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

  • Difference between COPA and COPA cube

    Hello,
    We have recently implemented COPA. There is a difference between COPA R3 and COPA BW. What can be the reason. Can it be internal orders if so how can we check and correct that.
    thanks

    Hi,
    Where can you find the difference ? In the data being pulled into BW ?
    First check for a sample data in R/3 RSA3 and see data for the same selections in BW PSA or any staging layers.

  • 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!

  • I am having to install tbird again on a new system, I copied and backup-ed my previous emails. When I view my copies and/or restored email files are empty. Why?

    I am having to install tbird again on a new system, I copied and backup-ed my previous emails. When I view my copies and/or restored email files they are empty, nothing is displayed and the window shows message of being empty. I an sure of the backup and of my copy/paste steps. Where and/or what has happened to my emails? I also searched each disk and all files for email extensions (*.mozmsgs and *.sbd and *.sbf) with no results. I can not find a way to restore over 10 years worth of very important emails. Can someone please help me recover what I know is their? All my emails in Seamonkey are on another system (the one I replaced with new win7 pro 64 i7 based system) and all the emails I had in tbird, before having to reinstall everything on new system due to something that happened to the os, are the copied and backup-ed files that are showing empty. Prior to new install all old Seamonkey emails transferred to tbird and all the tbird emails prior were their and were the copied/backup-ed files showing empty now. This is turning into my worst experience and nightmare in over 25 years of systems. I am really lost on this one. please help....

    Are you saying you split your profile between C and D drive, perhaps through specifying a location in the account settings.
    BTW.
    *.mozmsgs useless duplicate files created for windows search integration. Simply wasted space on the disk.
    *.sbd a folder indicating the presence of a sub folder (contains no mail at all.
    *.sbf (I don't know that one.
    *.msf an index of mail. contains tags, but otherwise useless and will be recreated when the mail is loaded in Thunderbird so it can display the mail list.
    *. that is no file extension. You mail in files with the same name as the folders they came from.

  • Internal and External Reconciliations

    I am trying to figure out how to use the bank reconciliation process. I keep seeing reference to an "expert sesion" and a link to it.  However I get an Access Denied message when I try the link.
    Help. ? If this "expert session" is on the Partner Portal, how are we lowly Customer to get it?
    "External reconciliation is used for bank reconciliation , however when you go in detail , you have to use internal reconciliation for Business partner and Vendor .

  • FI and FM reconciliation

    When the reconciliation analysis report is generated, there is a difference (in negative). Please provide me an explanation as to the cause of the difference and the possible solutions from FI and FM reconciliation tool perspective. Thanks.

    Hi,
    FM is not subsidiary of FI, therefore reconciliation between them is not obvious and depends on specific definitions made in FM update profile, budget consumption logic, etc. For example, you might have entries in FI with no FM documents (only update in totals) and, on the contrary, you can have consumption in FM (e.g. PO, EMF, etc.) with no impact on FI. Only if you use budgetary ledger functionality in FM, the reconciliation becomes more structured. Otherwise, you have to perform complete analysis of your postings in FM and take(or exclude) some entries depending on your customization.

  • Trusted and Target Reconciliation

    Hi All,
    Can we do trusted and target reconciliation from the same resource.I have to get email id and few attributes from ad on user profile and I need to do target recon for existing AD ids for further reporting and attestation. Can any one make recommendation for best possible way.
    Regards
    Nitesh

    For trusted recon: do you only have to fetch some attributes from AD to be populated on the User Profile only one time for e.g. contracter end dates are normally stored in AD and after the users have been reconciled in OIM, the end dates need to be updated on the oim profile from AD for the users. Is this the scenario or do you need to do this on an on-going basis, meaning when those attributes change in AD you need it propagated in OIM?
    If it is a one time thingy all you need to do is write a ST that will be run only once, to populate the required fields on the oim user profile of all users after day 1 recon has been completed.
    if you need this on an ongoing basis, you can configure only an app recon and on recon update recd write an adapter to see what fields have changed on the process form, see if those are the fields that you need to propagate to the user form, if so then simply update the user form with the value that is there for that field on the process form.

  • Reconciliation and alternative reconciliation

    Hi all.
    Can any one tel me what is purpus of Reconciliation and alternative reconciliation.
    what are all the banefits for creating them in sam.
    please explain me clearely...
    Thanku

    Recon account: Every customer and vendor account will be assigned to a Recon account. You cannot post to a recon account directly. When ever a customer/ vendor account is posted in sub ledger , recon account is also getting posted in GL.
    Consider the following entry:
    Customer     Dr (Sub ledger )  10000 USD
    REcon a/c Dr (GL)                 10000 USD
    Revenue    Cr (GL)                 10000 USD
    While recon account will give you the total receivables or payables at any point of time, the individaul account will show you the details of the customer account. Recon account will always be in summarized form.
    Alternate recon account:
    There are some reporting requirements like down payments received or paid. These transactions should not shown along normal transactions and they need to be shown separately. They are called in Sp GL transaction in SAP. Every recon account is assigned to a alternate recon account with Sp GL indicator in the configuration. Whenever a transaction using the Sp GL is posted to the customer/ vendor a/c, they will be posted to the alternate recon account instead of normal recon account.
    Special G/L transactions are special transactions in accounts receivable and accounts payable that are displayed separately in the general ledger and the subledger. This is achieved by posting to alternative reconciliation accounts, instead of posting to the reconciliation accounts for receivables and payables

  • COPA and SL Integration

    Hi Guys,
    Is there any document explaining the integration between Account-based COPA and FI-SL?
    Regards.

    I am curious to know why. Because COPA will be used for purpose and I guess SL is not linked for any reason. In none of my past COPA projects they had to integrate the SL.

  • 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 vishal,
    The question u posted is very general and indeed u need an understanding of underlying table and their contents and how the table contents are related to the Business process.. The best think i wud suggest you to look for is SAP course material related to Exraction it should be TBW30, or BW350 i believe. You can get a very clear idea of COPA and FISL extraction.. Sorry i dont have the material, but this is where u can look in to for a clear conceptual explanation.

  • 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
