COPA- Billing document transfer

Hi All
When I am creating a sales document , A profitability document is getting created and Gross sales(PR00) and costs(VPRS) are getting transfered to COPA, But when I am creating Billing document, A COPA document is getting created without gross sales value, Value in PR00 is not getting transferred...It is passing only costs(VPRS) to COPA....Am I missing any configuration?
Also
With document types A Sales order and F Billing data I am transferring revenue to COPA twice , Is this a best practice?

You need to configure the Condition types with values fields in TCode KE4I.
Check if you have reset the condition types for Billing types of Billing Document which would stop or zeroise the values that flow to COPA.
It is not duplication of transferring Sales order and Billing Document to COPA, they are meant for two different purposes, Sales order is forecasting your sales and Billing Documents is your actual sales.

COPA billing documents - reverse and repost in different period

At the end of the period accounting is required to reverse certain sales posted for the period and repost to the following period due to shipping terms and revenue recognition requirements. They currently do this in FI using a high level entry in FB50. How can we also reverse and repost the COPA billing documents to a different period?
Thanks

Hi,
You should not be required to assign a profit center in OKB9 except for a few situations where the system does (can) not put profit center in the line item or you do not put profit center while posting.
Therefore, if the the profit center is alreadt in line item then the OKB9 profit center will not be defaulted.
Use of OKB9 for default profit center should be done sparingly.

ERLOS value 0 for subsequent billing documents transfer function

Greetings
I am trying to make use of KE4S Transfer SD billing documents to CO-PA function in my DEV environment. Our company recently started using CO-PA, so I would like to use this function to transfer FI docs over. The environment is 4.7 EN.
The problem is, when I run this function all of my ERLOS values are 0. Quantity and VPRS transfer over fine. But when I look at the actual COPA data at KE24, it shows ERLOS values as 0.
Any reason as to why these values would be zero? I have made the appropriate settings at KE4I so my SD condition type is linked to ERLOS.
I have tried deleting all the transaction data and re-executing KE4S, but the result is the same.
Any input would be appreciated.
Regards
Ken

I guess ERLOS is intercompany revenue value field.
Check the following
1: KE4I condition type mapped to value field ERLOS
2: g/l account that is getting het must be created as cost element with category 11 or 12

SD billing document (transfer between plants) error in document splitting

Dear Gurus.
I have the following scenario.
New GL activated
Zero balance on Profit Center.
SD billing document is created after the shipping of material (internal transfer) between 2 plants belonging to the same company code.
I have several user exits activated and they are not well documented if activated.
Case1.
The billing document is usually created with materials populated with the same Profit Center.
In Tr VF01/VF02 the function: Release for Accounting is executed and no accounting document is created (OK cause they belong to the same company code), this function is just closing the cycle of the billing document to set the status as completed.
Case2.
Billing document containing several materials with more than one Profit Center
During the execution of the function: Release for accounting the following error is gotten: Position 1 is not populated with Profit Center - apparently caused by the splitting rule - financial document creation - the status of the billing document is not set to Completed, is kept as opened.
As I commented In case 1 I do not have any accounting document (no error message)
Doubt 1
Is it possible that the splitting rule is being checked even though no accounting document is created (remember billing in a scenario of material transfer between plants belonging to the same company code)?
Apparently in case 1 I do not have any error cause the splitting rule is deriving the profit center in a passive basis: Inheritance.
In the other way, in case 2 the splitting rule is trying to derive the profit center in an active basis. In my configuration I actually do not have any configuration for the combination of transaction, variant, position to be derived, position basis.
Doubt 2.
Is this the standard behavior of SAP?
Could this be caused by a user exit not identified?
thanks in advance for any advice provided
Regards vpa
Valentin PA.
2.
In case 1 is clear that as only one profit center is shown theoretically the inheritance rule is populating the Profi

It would be possible, I suppose. You could generate Idocs from the SD system (or an interface file) and import that info into the FICA system. Of course the FICA system could not know about the sales order etc - so limited research abilities would exist.
For the second question, that would only function in a single system scenario, and yes the SD document flow would reflect its clearing status in FICA.

FB01 and entering billing document number

Hi,
We're trying to create an LSMW for FB01 - but would want to but in a billing document transfer.
Is this possible to be done in LSMW or must it be done in BAPI ?

HI,
At the moment doing we do not have a choice on running on LSMW and BAPI - we are not familiar running it. The key question can FB01 in LSMW accept posting on billing document number (VBELN) field ? I recall that this field is not editable once the document is created. So if we post via FB01 can we enter this field ?

Transfer of Billing Document to COPA

Hi,
We are using Account based CO PA and when we are doing Post Good issue the COPA document is generating for COGS but when we are doing the billing the COPA document is not generating to transfer the Sales,Sales Deduction to the COPA.
What would be the resaons for this and help me in this.

Transfer of Billing Documents
In this step you define how billing document items for sales from stock are transferred to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA).
In costing-based CO-PA, you need to assign condition types and quantity fields from Sales and Distribution (SD) to the value and quantity fields CO-PA.
Activities:
Assign condition types to the desired value fields. These assignments let you transfer "real" conditions (those that are posted to FI) and "statistical" (fictitious) conditions to CO-PA. Assign value fields.
For real conditions, the corresponding revenue, sales deduction, and cost-of-sales accounts must be defined as CO-relevant accounts (cost or revenue elements).
Assign the quantity fields in SD to the desired quantity fields in CO-PA. Assign quantity fields.
If desired, reset individual value fields for billing documents of a certain billing type. Reset value fields.
For account-based CO-PA, the system only transfers those posting lines that are posted to FI as well.
Activities:
Only "real" postings that are posted to FI can be transferred to account-based CO-PA. All you need to do to transfer this data to CO-PA is make sure that the desired revenue, sales deduction, and cost-of-sales accounts are defined as relevant for CO.
Prerequisites
The operating concern to which you want to transfer billing documents has been completely defined.
You have maintained record type "F" for the necessary number ranges.
You have activated the desired form(s) of Profitability Analysis.
Carry out proper setting in the following transaction for transfering SD-Billing Document to CO PA:
In SPRO Transaction follow the below mentioned path and carry out the settings
Controlling->Profitability Analysis->Flow of actual values---->Transfer of billing documents
(please see the relevant documentation mentioned there to understand the concept in detail)
1. Assign Value Field - KE4I
2. Assign Quantity Field - KE4M
3. Reset Value and Quantity Field - KE4W
In SPRO Transaction follow the below mentioned path and carry out the settings

Billing document to COPA partially

I would like to make some billing documents generating FI and COPA document, and some would generate FI document only.
Does anyone know
1) Is it possible in SAP by seperate different billing type or etc.
2) how does SAP determinate to generate COPA document or not.
Thankis in advance.
Best
Kyle

Hi,
Check SAP note # 20254, on prerequisites for value flow to CO-PA from SD.
Cost element has to be either '11' or '12' to transfer values to CO-PA from SD. However, it is possible to stop posting to CO-PA for certain documents using CO-PA enhancements.
Try using KE4S transaction in 'Test mode' to understand what the issue is.
Hope this helps.

COPA document is not generating for import sales billing document.

Hi Gurus,
At the time of billing i got an error that condition type is not assigned to COPA. I assigned the condition type in KE4I and the entry posted but no COPA document generated.
Why the COPA document not generated?
Is there any link between billing type and COPA? if yes, then where we link the same to copa!
Note:- COPA document is generating for other billing documents.
What are the criterias for system to determine the generation of COPA documents?
It is urgent.
Regards,
Ramakanta

Hi ,
I am really very much appreciate your cooperation for the issue.
When i try the same through KE4S in test run system is showing the below lines.....
Number of billing documents read:                        1
Number of line items to be transferred:                  0
No. of billing doc. items already transferred:           0
Number of billing docs with errors:                      0
Note:- Number of line items to be transfered 0 then there is nothing to transfer to COPA.
Please suggest.

Issue in Transfer of Billing document to GTS

Hi Experts,
I have a question on the transfer of billing documents and the creation of customs declaration. All the documents are struck in the ECC queue and not transferred automatically to GTS system. The problem is that when I manually push them in SM58 it is procesing immediately but the program RSARFCEX is not picking the entries and posting them. Also there are lots of errored entried in the SM58 for this destination.
Kindly help me.
Regards,

This issue is resolved. This was due to the large error entries in the SM58 for the specific destination. We have reorganised the trfc queues and now it works perfectly.

Transfer Billing document to accounting, Error: 'Object not known in COu2019

Hi all,
I have created an acquisition contract and subsequently created a billing document in CRM but when I try and transfer this to accounting, the system displays error message IAOM028 u2013 u2018Object not known in COu2019. My account assignment category on the contract is EROBJ u2013Profitability Segment CO-PA, however I have tried creating acquisition contracts with other account assignments but the same error occurs, even though the controlling object exists in SAP ERP. Iu2019ve searched the SAP notes and I did see note 683886, but this affected release 4 and we are working with release 7. Any help or advice in resolving this error would be much appreciated.
Alternatively how do I mark the item category as not relevant to CO? For now itu2019s not imperative that I post to a controlling object? The SAP help portal refers to selecting (or in my case deselecting) the Service setting in the Assign BW/CO fieldu2019 but I canu2019t find this field on the item category. Any advice again would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Lee

Hello,
The reason might be the transfer error, is due to the incomplete distribution of the order/contract to R/3 account assignment table IAOM_EXT_OBJ_INF.
For your invoice, check entry for document number/item number. It might be missing and if so, system shows error message as you mentioned.
If entries are missing, then the order/contracts need to be re-distributed to R/3, so that the entries are created for these missing items in the IAOM tables. The transfer process then will complete missing entries successfully.
To re-distribute to R/3, the respective document needs to be save after making a change in the document. Unless there is a change in the document, the re-distribution will not happen.
I hope this information may helpful to solve your issue.
Regards,
Harshad Patel.

COPA -Credit Memo without reference to a Billing Document

Hi -
When we create a credit memo without reference to a billing document ( Manully entering a value in condition type), Data flows to COPA as -ve irrespective of +/- sign ticked in KE4I. This creates inconsistancy if we chose +/- for some discount condition types as they come to COPA as positive when the credit memo is created with reference. Any ideas, how to handle this ??
More info: In SD conditon type maintenance plus/minus = positive. It has to be postive then only customer gets credited when a credit memo is created.
Thanks
Krishna

Thanks Ajay -
Example:
1) I have a condition type in billing Z012 - Additinal Discounts... asigned to VV230 - Discounts. From billing, VV230 gets a +ve value lets say $100.
2) I have a credit memo ( stand alone, not refering to a billing doc), it has a condition type ZZ12 which can be manually entered and is also assigned to VV230. Now, VV230 gets -ve values lets say -$50.
In reporting, VV230 shows $50 ( +100-50), but the total discounts given to customer is $150.
Where is it going wrong?
Thanks
KP
