Account Based COPA Cost of goods sold and Revenue Split

Dear Experts,
We are using account based copa in a automobile company.
As per the requirement when a car is sold, depending on the customer request the car goes for a conversion. like adding Radio, Seat cover, etc
As per our setup we have different profit centers for vehicle and Parts(radio, seat cover etc) and in this case radio, seat cover, etc are the classes of the material vehicle(not separate material).
After the vehicle conversion there is a sales order raised which goes to profit center derived from vehicle material master.
As per the reporting requirement I need to spit the Cost of good sold and revenue by vehicle profit center and parts profit center for COPA reporting purpose
Is there any way to do this in standard SAP? Or I need an exit?
Appreciate your response and please let me know in case of any clarification.
Many thanks
Roy

For those who may need an answer to this, our solution was the following:
1)       Created new types for SO, SO Item, Sched. Line, Delivery, Delivery Item, Billing type
2)       Created new Pricing procedure
3)       Created new movement type Y61/Y62 modeled after 601/602
4)       Mapped Y61/Y62 to account modifier ZAX.
5)       Mapped GBB/ZAX to the new account.
Benefits, they now have better view of the orders going inter-company. It is flexible enough to adjusting prices for intercompany separate from standard orders, even though for now it is a straight copy of cost. They are able to remove the sales/use tax, from the calculations. They are able to plan with these orders separated out. Plus, this will standardize their process for inter-company.
Hope this helps someone.
Cheers!

Cost Allocation based on receiving cost center

Hi All,
I have a uniqure requirement. I have 1 producing cost center A and i have two main cost centers Z1 & Z2. I use KB21N for activity allocation and i use sending cost center A and receiving cost center Z1 for 100 hours and Z2 for 200 hours at $2 per hour for activity type labor. The entry posted is credit cost center A and debit cost center Z1 & Z2. At month end i end up over/under absorption of $5000 in cost center A, and i need to allocate this over/under absorption of $5000 to cost center Z1 and Z2 based on the actual consumption from cost center A. This can be done easily, based on the secondary cost element cost of the activity type, BUT the catch is cost center Z1 & Z2 also get costs for the labor cost element from other cost center too. For example cost center Z1 as labor cost element of $500 in total out which it has $200 from cost center A and rest from other cost centers, if i allocate the over/under absorption of $5000 based on the total $ values on the secondar cost element, it takes the total of labor cost element for allocation, that is $500 for basis of allocation. SKF also does
How can we address this issue, can it be done apart from assessment? Please let me know

Cost Center Assessment to Cost Hierarchy based on Actual Consumption error

Assessment is set up:
SENDER: Cost Center: Overhead Expenses (values in expense accounts)
RECEIVER: Top Node of Cost Object Hierarchy (material consumption has been posted to two objects - related account has value and quantity fields)
Segment is set up:
Sender Rules: Posted Amounts
Share:100%
Actual value origin
Receiving tracing factor:
Receiver rule: Variable Portions
Var. portion type: Actual Consumption
No Scaling
Assumption is that "Var. portion type: Actual Consumptions" means the quantity in the consumption account on the receiver from the inventory posting. Is this true?

Hi dear Ajay, thank you for your answer.
first, I understand the difference between KSUB and KSU5, in the defined scenario, we have both. planned values, become actual with the MEC activities. business definition.
regarding the cycle, I have setup assessment cost element so we can get all planned lines posted as 1.
On sender tab I have only the cost center. no cost element defined.
receiver its cost center.
furthermore, i've not setup allocation structure, so all cost elements should be allow, there is no restriction on this.
the only difference is: planned costs which their origin is already an assessment are not being assessed again.
I can show you the print screens with cycles setup if it helps
best regards

Cost allocation based on time sheet

Hi,
I have a scenario to capture employees working time based on different projects/ sales order/ Internal services etc., and their cost has to be assigned to respective costcenters based on their actual (no.of hours) effort.
For Eg: If an employee works for 3 different projects in a day, his actual effort (2 hours in project#1, 3hours for Project#2, 3 hours for project#3) has to be assigned to respective costcenters.
Please help to address this scenario.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I think without CATS, you can not maintain the details Project wise.
Also You should have the PS module to identify tasks, and the hours against that, then the WBS elements, for each WBS element there will be cost center assigned.
So when you are booking the time sheets through cats, you will mention WBS element and hours.
This is the process.
Try this process, You can create different Attendance types and book your attendance manually for each attendance type and generate TWT, and at some point of time these attendances, or TWT or at Payroll processing you need to assign different cost centers to the different attendances, or TWT or WT.
And if you follow the above procedure, you need to give time consttraint accordingly to 2001 IT.
Pl award points, if it is useful to you.

Revenue Posting to Cost Center & Pforfitibility Segment (Object Numbers)

Dear All,
I have tested a scnario, i.e., Can we post Revenue to the Cost Center?
1st Case:- I tried to post Revenue to Cost Center & it was done. The Cost Center was updated Stastical Posting. ( Here i had entered Cost Center Manually, no other object was entered except Cost Cneter)
2nd Case :- I have done the same way but i have entered PSG manually.
But here my doubt is : in COEP Table both documents were updated Object Number AOXXXXXXXXXX10610. Which is Recon Object Type. In 2nd case i have entered PSG but in 1st case i have entered only one Cost Center but how the system was updated the CO Object Number AOXXXXXXXXXX10610
Regards

Hi,
As per note 41103 under point 6, revenues posted to cost centers will only be statistical. The category types 11 and 12 are revenue based cost elements.
As cost centers can carry revenues statistically only, the system has to create a reconciliation object automatically. It is just a generated object (containing charactersistics like company code, plant, business area, profit center,...) and this object is necessary to create as the real posting must be made. Otherwise, CO and FI would get out of sync.
If only costing based COPA is active reconciliation object ("REO") is posted to if there is no real account assignment for the revenues (no CO-PA object/no revenue order or any other object which can carry revenues->please see note 106968).
Thanks & Regards

Sender Cost center based allocation

Hi All,
This is unique scenario as per my knowledge.
Actually we have same cost centers present in two (rather more) different buildings in the company. And as per cost center design each building has been created as a cost center. And the building costs are getting allocated based on SQM (square meters) as SKF.
Problem: In KP46 where we enter the SKF, we can enter one total value for one cost center. So in SKF if I enter one total value (for all buildings) in the cost center then from all cost centers it will take more than its proportionate share of costs.
<b>Can you help me in solving this issue?</b>
I have already ruled out following options:
1. Creation of multiple SKFs
2. Creation of individual cost centers per building.
Because we may have 40-50 buildings in the design. And that will increase the data maintenance efforts many times.
Waiting for your replies.
Please post in case of any queries.
Rgds,
Manish Gupta

Hi,
no this is not causing the issue. It means that after the first internal allocation cycle run, the results are checked and if there are senders that still have values a second internal allocation cycle is porcessed (based on the results of the first one), this goes on and on till every sender is (nearly) allocated to zero (or the sender % it should be).
But again: Try to eliminate sending/receiving values within 1 segment for the same CO-object (cost center) to avoid situations like the one you've described.
Best regards, Christian

Differences between Costing based COPA and Account based COPA

Hi,
I wanted to know the main differences between Costing based COPA and Account based COPA?
For which scenarios account based COPA used and for which scenarios costing based copa used.
please guide me
sateesh

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

please help me on the following issue.

i have read the SAP help about project progress.
but it confused me.
my first question is how can i caculated the actual POC?
is there a standard predefined way to solve it?
please give me some hints or suggestions.
thanks a lot.
Judy

Hi,
Can anyone detail the steps involved in carrying out RA with Valuation Method 7 with progressive value analysis. Here, we can give a percentage of POC into the system as certified by the Engineers unlike Valuation method 3 where the POC is calculated on the basis of actual costs incurred.
In the case of valuation method 3, only revenue is analysed by the system with reference to the POC and necessary entries are posted as Revenue surplus or Revenue in excess of billings. Whereas in the case of valuation method 7, both the revenue and costs are analysed and necessary provisions are made both for revenue and costs.

Judy

Actual Cost & Actual Revenue

Dear Sir,
Can you please tell me what Actual Cost & Actual Revenue & also what is difference between Actual cost & Actual Revenue.
Regards,
Gagandeep Singh.

Hi,
IN any project you incur some expenses and at the same time when you sell something you generate revenue. But in the intitial stages you cant say what is the actual cost that you are going to incur or what is the actual revenue you are going to generate at a certain point/phase in a project.
Actual Cost refers to for eg. suppose you procure a bearing for your project. You will create a PR and then a PO. Until this stage system will treat this as a commitment. Once you do the GR/ GI this cost is converted to actual cost. Similarly lets say that you are building a ship and you have procured some components to build that ship. That procurement will lead to a cost because you are incurring some expenditures. Once you build that ship and sell it and bill the customer you will generate revenue. Till the time you receive the payment/revenue from your customer system treats this as Planned revenue. Once you bill your customer and receive the payment system will treat this is as the actual revenue.
So basically Actual Cost refers to the expenditures incurred in carrying out a project and Actual revenue refers to the income generated after billing the customer and receiving the payment for the goods sold.
Its just a basic explanation but hope this clears your query.
Best Regards,
Gokul

Is it Possible to post actual revenue against activity.
Regards,
Purna.M

Hello Purna,
Nopes.. It is not possible to post actual revenue against Network Activity.
If you try to do so, you will get an error message as
Revenue cannot be assigned to NWA XXXXXX
Message no. KI295
Diagnosis
The given object is not a valid additional account assignment for revenue or debit postings.
Procedure
In this transaction only use additional account assignments that allow revenue postings.
In that case, you need to post it to WBS element to which this Network activity is assigned.

COPA cost based data source missing data in BI

Hi All,
We have a copa cost based datasource.User has complained that some data is missing in BI frrom R3.When we checked in Infopackage history no data loads got failed and all requests were succesful.
Is there still a chance that data might get missed.
I created a full infopackage and again ran the load .Again load is green and complete.Still the same data comes in PSA.
Should i need to check repair full request flag.
What could be the other reason.User sent the R3 COPA report screenshots highlighting the missing data.
Regards,
Sushant

Hi,
Please check if all the value fields from ECC have been mapped in BI system.
May be the case that some value fields were not mapped & hence the data is missing.
try & reconcile your data with the data from table CE1<OP Concern> from ECC side.
u can Make use of transaction KE24 aswell.
Thanks & Regards,

COPA cost base same cond. map to NET Sales different cost elements problem

Hi Guru,
I have the following issue:
I mapped ONE billing condition type assigned to ONE value field. ZPCD is assigned to value field VV110 (net sales)
That one condition type can post to 2 different cost element based on the account assignment group of the item
One cost element is set up and revenue type 11 and the value is posted to COPA value field NET SALES
The other cost element is set up as cost type 1 and the posting to COPA is blank i.e. no posting to value field NET SALES
In both cases a COPA document is created i.e. total 2 COPA documents one for each posting.
What is the problem??
Thanks
Linda

For the purchased products, you may perhaps use the condition type VPRS to bring in the material price from the material master.
