  • COPA - Material Desription

    Hi Experts,
    I am having problem in COPA drill down reports that material description is not being displayed completely, system turncates description after 20 characters. In report painter, i have increased length of field, but problem not resolved.
    please guide me..
    Regards

    Hi
    Go to settings > Characteristic Display > Choose Key and Description > And set the length of the field
    After this, In the 1st Menu > Save report definition.. The length that you choose wud remain constant then and not changed.

  • Help on COPA material Valuation

    Dear All,
    Our client has 3 manufacturing plants. 2 in Delhi, 1 in Pune
    Plant in Pune manufactures few products and  on the other side receives manufactured products from Delhi plants and does some processing then despatch to customers. The processing charges incurred in Pune is not inventorised and is not cost relevant and no product costing is done for the these materials received from other plants in Pune plant.
    Here there are two things, one - Few products for which Cost estimation is done and for few products for which cost estimation is not done and Price is updated with MR21 though the price indicator is "S".
    From the COPA perspective, "Error if cost estimation is not found indicator" is checked while valuating the materials in COPA.
    Client wants this indicator to be active, but how it is possible to deactivate this indicator for the products received from other plants to Pune as Cost estimation is not done.
    Please help me on this, any possibility of restricting this error message by creating a new costing key and assigning these with respect to material, plant combination.
    Please your suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks & Regards

    Dear Ajay,
    Further to the above message, my costing key configuration is like this:
    "Period Indicator: current cost estimate acc to enty in the material master"
    Can you let me know, if the COPA valuation is with the current cost estimate, then for the Material for which cost estimation has not happend or released, how do the billing and its release to accounting happen.
    If COPA is implemented and material valuation is done through Access to the standard cost estimation, then is it like every month Cost estimation is to be released.
    If this is the case, then how it helps me in the scenario discussed. As i m unable to release the billing to accounting. the error message is below:
    Valuation with material cost estimate: error with product "X"
    Message no. KE350
    Diagnosis
    In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to valuate a line item using the current standard cost estimate.
    In order to determine the current plan period, the system needs to read the valuation segment of the material master.
    The system has found that the current plan period is not filled for product "X" in plant "ABCD".
    Display material (View: Costing)
    The system looked for the material cost estimate using costing key "Z01", as defined in the Customizing settings for CO-PA.
    System Response
    The document cannot be processed.
    Procedure
    Contact your system administrator.
    Please let me know on this.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Production variance in COPA

    Hi All,
    We are settling production variances to COPA and We have 3 values fields in COPA,Material Variance,production labor variance and Other variance.
    Variance categories are mapped to material, labor variance and others value fields.but i dont see any labor variances in Variance value field.i have reviewed and this is becuase of Variance categories.which are not one to one mapping to value fields.
    we have 9 Variance categories mapped to 3 value fields.
    client requirement is labor variances to settled to Variance value field,material variance to Material value field and Overhead and other variances to settlement others value field.is this possible?if yes.how can i do this?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Anusha

    Hi,
    As explained earlier by other forum colleagues,variances captured at production can be assigned to COPA under value field.This assignment is happening through PA transfer structure for variance settlement.
    Normally this can be defined broadly into 2 categories : 1.Cost element and 2.Variance categories.
    After looking at your requirement,your main interest is in cost element based production variance push to COPA for reporting.i.e.Labor variance.
    Production order shows this variance under secondary cost element labor and difference between target/actual.COPA transfer structure doesn't push 2 seprate values (target/actual) ,whereas only delta gets posted.
    I feel your requirement is not possible through PA transfer structure.
    I would suggest,you push cost center specific labor expenses under new value field,capture cost component wise break up of standard cost udner different value field.
    Comparision of cost center expense and labor part of standard cost will provide you expected value.
    I know this complex thing to do,so discuss with client do they really want from COPA?
    Same reporting they can get from cost cente i.e.expense posted(labor ) and absorbed on product under secondary cost element.

  • Material text copy user exit

    Hi,
            I want to know user exit name for sales order when it copies material text to sales order in  line item text.

    Hi,
    Try using USEREXIT_AVAILABILITY_IN(RV03VFZZ) or USEREXIT_ADD_FIELD_TO_LINE(FV45VFZZ) exits in SD. Due to various combinations possible (for example if you use route-scheduling it may behave differently than otherwise), it may not be possible to apply a common logic.
    I would suggest using USEREXIT_ADD_FIELD_TO_LINE to modify the date fields in the structure MVERF (field EDATU : Delivery date, MBDAT : Material avail. date and so on). At this point, system has already calculated the first set of dates based on customer requested delivery date, so you will need to do adjustments in all fields accordingly.
    Eg in this exit:
    w_date = sy-datum + 60.
    offset = w_date - mverf-mbdat.
    mverf-mbdat = mverf-mbdat + offset.
    mverf-lddat = mverf-lddat + offset.
    mverf-edatu = mverf-edatu + offset.
    Please note it will need some adjustments if you have a shipping calendar (eg sundays off..) in which case the offset may be a little different for EDATU.

  • MTO Settlement

    Pls help!
    We use make-to-order scenario with both order and sales order as cost objects.
    First question - the cost object is determined under cost object controlling by sales order > requirement class >  account assignment category.  If category is E, then sales order is the object, correct?  And the requirements type that the class is assigned to is included on sales order line item and appropriately assigned to the item category in configuration?  Please confirm understanding.
    If we do not have requirements type defaulted in the sales order, then its assumed its make to order with production order as cost object?  Therefore, if we never wanted the sales order to be the cost object, we would not have to configure th area cost object controlling by sales order.  This point confuses me so please confirm.
    When we settle the production orders or sales order, is the cost component split used to map the costs (cost element range) to the copa value fields?   I do see this configuration set up in the system under valuation in copa (KER4) and wondering if it comes into play during settlement of production (co88) and sales orders (va88)?
    We have our allocation structure set up to settle costs to psg and we have the pa transfer structure set up as well. 
    The pa transfer structure assigned in the production order type does include the cost element ranges for material, labor, overhead, but the value fields are mapped to the material variance, labor variance, overhead variance value fields, not the material, labor, overhead cost value fields. 
    So if I don't see the material, labor, overhead cost value fields mapped in the pa transfer structure, how are costs actually flowing through to copa (material, labor, oh)?  are they missing from profitability transfer structure?  I do see them on the copa reports (ke24) so their must be config allowing this data to pass, which is why I think it might be the cost component structure.  Please confirm.
    Thank you!!!!!

    Hi,
    1. If you dont want sales order as a cost object,
    a. Either follow the steps I mentioned above, OR
    b. Do Not assign any req type at all
    2. There are 2 scenarios here,
    a. SO is cost obj with non valuated stock (SAP recommends this)
    b. SO is cost obj with valuated stock...
    2.a -
    Prod Order is settled upon sales order.. GR from prod order does not update any acc doc
    Sales order is settled to COPA.. Here you can use a PA Trf Str where in you have replicated your Cost Comp Str... i.e. You can create as many assignment lines in KEI1 as your CCS in OKTZ and assign each one of them to a separtae value field
    No question of variances in this case
    2.b
    Prod order is not settled upon sales order.... GR from Prod order updates acc doc.... However, variance from prod order can be settled to the sales order if you create variance account as a cost element... Else, it is settled to COPA
    Upon PGI, the COGS is posted to Sales Order as a single line item
    Here, in your PA Trf Str, you would create an Assignment line and tick "Qty Billed/Delivered".... This would update the Billing Qty to COPA upon settlement of Sales order
    This Qty update will trigger KE4R.... i.e. You need to assign CCS to VF in KE4R for PV=01 and Rec Type = C.... This would update the CCS in COPA as per the Sales Order cost estimate
    The Costing Key in KE40 should refer to "Sales order cost estimate" and not "Std Cost estimate"

    Hope, I have not confused you.. I am going to sleep as its 2 AM in India now.. Will reply tomorrow, if you need any assistance.. Byeeee.

  • COPA document is not visible for a material document ?? Why

    Hi Experts,
    We have a material document, for which we have accounting doc and CO document respectively. But we don't have a PA document(not Visible). Any Idea why it is not visible.
    Moderator: Please do not ask basic questions

    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.

  • Actual cost of material in COPA

    Hi Team,
    We have implemented PP, CO & COPA  our client has the requirement to see the actual cost of material in COPA as per their requirement we designed the KE30 report as product wise profitability report in that report we used the record types B( direct postings from FI), C(Order settlement), D(over head cost) from the copa assessment cycle & F ( SD billing).
    1) Is it possible to see the actual cost of material( Including activity cost) in copa.
    2) If it is possible please advise.

    Hello
    It is not possible to get the actual cost of the material in COPA. Actual cost can only be derived if you implement material ledger.
    However in COPA we may come close to actual cost to some extent. The following configuration needs to be done:
    1. Run standard cost estimate every month so that the price reflects the most recent material prices.
    2. Define assessment cycles for auxiliary cost centers (whose cost should form part of inventory cost) to production cost centers.
    3. Configure for splitting and revaluation at actual price.
    4. Take the production variances to COPA.
    5. Create a report to show the standard cost and variances.
    One of the difference is that the total standard cost is for the quantities sold during the period however the variances will be for the quantities produced during the period.
    Another difference is that the unabsorbed overheads could not be allocated to individual materials.
    Hope this helps.

  • Impacts in COPA of changing material and customer master data

    Dear experts,
    In my company we are considering following scenario:
    Currently mySAPerp 6.0 is implemented for all modules for the mother company.
    We have developed a new global template where there are significant changes versus the existing system, especially in the SD processes. Material and customer master also change significantly in terms of content in the tables/fields and/or values in the fields.
    The idea was to build the template from scratch in a new machine and roll-out all group affiliates, but now we are considering the possibility of making an evolutionary of the current system and try to stretch it to the processes defined in the global template.
    The scenario we want to analyze is: Keeping same organizational structure in terms of Company code, CO area and Operating Concern in existing SAP client and make an evolutionary of the existing settings to the global template processes.
    The doubts we are having are the following:
    Changing material & customer master data: Impact in COPA
    Option 1: Material master data and customer master data codes are maintained but content in the tables/fields is changed substantially, both in terms of logical content of specific fields and/or the values in the specific fields. We have following examples of changes.
    Case 1: source field in material master changes logical content. E.g. Material master field MVGR1 is currently used for product series (design line) and the content changes to be the Market Segment. The product series will be moved to a classification field. At least 5 other fields are affected by this. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
    Case 2: the source field is not changed so that the logical content of the field remains but the values change, i.e. for the same concept there will be different codifications. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
    Case 3: Characteristics where currently the source material master field is a Z field and the derivation is via table look up and where the Z field changes to a classification field. How can you convert the existing COPA line items to ensure that attributes are aligned? Should new characteristics be created or just change the derivation logic of the characteristic?
    Option 2: Material master data and customer data codes are re-created (codification of records is changed), meaning that new material and customer codes will exist and content in tables/fields is changed (as in option 1)
    Case: material and customer codes are changed. How can data in terms of COPA line items be converted so that they are aligned at time of reporting?
    Iu2019ve never phased a similar scenario and I fear that maintaining operating concern while changing source master data and also SD flows (we have new billing types, item categories, sales doc. Types, order reasons) may lead to inconsistencies and problems in COPA.
    I would like to ask you experts if you have come across a similar scenario and if from your experience, it is something feasible to do or there are many risks involved. What can be the impact of this scenario in existing Operating Concern for both option 1 and 2 and what would be the key activities to perform to adapt the existing operating concern. What will be the impact of the needed conversions on P&L reporting?
    Sorry for the long story. I hope you can help me out.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Eric

    Hi,
       First i think you will need to test if it works for new COPA documents created via billing.
      If it works fine then the issue is if you wish to apply these changes to the historical data already posted.
      Normally there are transactions like KE4S where you can repost the billing document to COPA
      However this may not be viable for bulk postings
      You can perform realignment (KEND) but this only works at the PA segment level (table CE4XXXX)

    Hi Ajay
    Thanks for the reply.
    The COPA Documents Generated 2 Times through settlement.
    *When document generated.*
    1 After Delivery Sales order is settled
    2 After Billing  Sales order is settled
    *What sort of value*
    There i maintain the PA Stracture as same as CCS. But in the COPA report system is updating Material Cost 2 times.
    *Record Type*
    Record Type for documents is C in both cases
    Settlement after Billing  & Delivery.

  • Derivation of Material classification Characteristics values in COPA

    Hi,
    Although  similar type of questions are there in Forum, But I did not find the correct solution, hence I am putting this thread.
    My question is , in classification view of material master we have Class type - 23 (Batch).
    We are maintaining many chracteristics and their values in the material master.
    Now my requirement is whenever the billing is done for any sales order having this material, all the characteristics and its value should flow to COPA.
    Although the details are there in table AUSP. But I am not finding any way out to derive these characteristics and its value or get these information in COPA.
    Please help.
    Regards
    Kami

    Hi Ajay,
    The attribute tab is not available in MOVE. Is there any other place where I can find this attribute tab.
    While doing the Analysis of derivation, it showing the message :
    *"Derivation was not carried out. Reason: Not available"*
    Both Source field and Target filed is showing blank. I am not able to figure out the reason.
    Is there any relation with Class Type. We are using here Class Type - 23 (Batch).
    And in KEDR , in MOVE as you suggested I am using Source Vield VCONF.
    I hope these are OK.
    I am using the User defined characteristics WW09 , with own value maintenence. Is this OK?
    What could be the possible reasons for not populating the data.

  • Assign direct material cost to value field in copa while issue to Prod orde

    Dear All,
    My requirement is like this:
    There are some 16 material groups from A to P each containing some materials(finished goods).
    I want to allocate overhead to different material groups(Charecteristic in copa) in COPA using the periodic assesment cycles. I am able to allocate overhead(admin & sales cost) to different value fields in copa from different cost centers.
    I want to analyse the product cost and also the profitability of each material group in COPA using Report painter. Iam able to pull all the costs which i assign to value fields using assessment. But, i am NOT able to get the direct material cost which is issued to production orders using BOM.
    My question is whether we can assign the direct material cost to any user defined value field(material cost value field) while the material is being issued to production orders. Is there any automated way where we can directly assign the direct material cost to value field in copa while issuing the material to Production orders.
    Pls explain me whether we can do it. if yes how?
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Regards,
    Vishnu
    VST-IT.

    PA is a Profitability analysis tool. That means it gets updated when a sale is made, not before. (Except for settlements and assessment of overheads.)
    Goods issues for production gets updated in CO-PC, and needs to be analysed there. If you don't, you loose all the inbuilt tools for variance analysis, cost estimate comparisons, Wip Calculation etc. To the best of my knowledge, a Profitability Segment cannot be used as a cost object in Production Planning, because amongst others, you need to be able to capitalise the produced materials to stock at the end of the production run, or to WIP at the end of the Financial period,which is not possible with PS.
    Similarly, overheads are recorded in CCA and needs to be analysed there.
    If one goes against these big groupings in SAP, you always run into problems.

  • Split Valuation Material Cost Estimate into COPA

    Hi all,
    Is there any way how we can transfer the split valuation material cost estimate into COPA?
    I checked the actual line items, there is no "valuation type / batch" characteristics there.
    Is this the main cause?
    Please kindly suggest on the best way to solve this issue
    Thank you very much
    Regards, Erwin

    Hi, Ajay
    Does this mean that, even though i manage to create the valuation type as characteristic in COPA, i won't be able to get 2 different cost estimate based on valuation type into COPA?
    Hm, then, are there any solutions which can be done to solve this issue?
    The client needs a COPA report which can show the breakdown of the sold materials cost estimates
    As usual, thank you very much for your help

  • Pro's and Con's to using Copies of Standard Material Types

    Hi
    We are looking for the pro's and con's of using copies of standard SAP material types for my company.  We are a consumer goods company and looking to see if there are drawbacks and benefits when it comes time to upgrade SAP.  Also what industry standards are out there for when we change / add views to standard SAP material types.
    Regards,
    Josh

    there are no real pros and cons - just philosophy
    We're using the SAP given material types, even adjusted to our needs, already for many years from 3.1 to 6.3 release and had never any issue with hotpackages or ith release changes.
    We are using as well many own material types created by copy of SAP material types.
    the only issues I know are, that the users need some time to understand which type to use if the description appears twice.
    (Remember, it is a personal setting if keys are shown in dropdown lists, and I know many user who do not display the keys)

Maybe you are looking for
