COPA planning

Hi
Currenlty we do COPA planning through KEPM but we have an issue,  previously the plan values for revenue,  cost of goods sold freight charges etc were determined in the same way by the same distribution key,  however,  we want to plan the revenue for each period in the year a different way, therfore we want ot use a different distribution key.  So I created two different planning parameters sets one for the cost of goods sold and freight with one type of planning layout and distribution key and then I created another parameter set for the revenue and used a different planning layout and distribution key.       These posted how I wanted them to,  however they posted into different COPA planning documents.  Is there a way I can incorporate them into the same planning document but with different distribution keys, because when you look at the line item you now get two line items in planning.
please advise
thanks

Hi
You need to have 12 columns in your Plan Layout so that you can enter Plan values for each month in one go... You shoudl npt be concerned about the no of docs that the system would generate...
You would analyse Plan Vs Actual in KE30 reports which is a summarized report.... Hence, in my opinion, dont press too much on the no of docs generated in the process
If you generate 2 docs in another versoin and then copy to Version 0, you would end up generating even more no of docs

    -While saving the planning layout i have defined the coloumns for Company code, distribution channel, division as Lead columns.
    When i am trying to execute the parameter set, excel gets generated. i am unprotecting the excel and doing the changes in layout, Since i want Characteristics in rows and Values in their corresponding columns . i save that excel to my desktop in text format.
    After this in KEPM i goto settings > fomatting > Save file description.

  • COPA Planning to Profit Center Accounting

    Hi,
    We are using ECC 6.0.
    When we do COPA planning and transfer the values of COPA to Profit Center, no data has been transfered to profit center plan items.
    We have not activated Planning version of Classic Profit Center Accounting. Is it required for ECC 6.0 also to activate Classic Profit Center Accoutning?
    We have Mapped requisit Value fields of COPA to GL Accounts.
    Can any one guide us in this regard.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
       In COPA the planning has been done to the value field of PRCTR which represents Profit center. Through report forms the actual and plan data for the value fields can be derived in COPA itself. I dont think that the planned values can be transferred to profit center accouting. On the other hand the actuals of profit center with the same value fields can be derived in COPA.
    Assign points if its useful

  • COPA Plan values not appearing in report

    Hi
    I posted COPA Plan values using KEPM and line items are appearing in KE25 but no values are not being appeared in COPA line item report we created using report painter. We used KE94 and KE91.
    Actual values appearing correctly in report.
    Any help??

    Check if you have Plan/Act indicator maintained correctly with the plan value. If it shows up in other reports, I don't see any reason why it will not show up here. I would also check other parameters entered in the report and see if any other characteristic is preventing plan values from populating.

  • COPA - Planned Material Cost not appearing in KE30 report

    Hi all
      In COPA planning, I manually planned the Material cost (Material External Price) along with the Sales Quantity and Revenue for two company codes (one plant in each co code). But in KE30 report, I could see the material cost (MEP) values only for one company codeplant. What could be the issue?
      I even tried valuation in KEPM. Valuation step is calculating and populating the material cost in KEPM, but the values are not flowing to KE30 reports. And this happens to only one of the two company codes.
    Thanks
    Vamsi

    Hi Vamsi
    Please check table CE2XXXX, where XXXX = Op Concern.... Here, can you see the plan line items??
    If yes, then the issue is with your report definition in KE30... May be you are restricting values display in KE30 report by virtue of your selection parameters

  • COPA Planning Module on R/3 side and update to BW

    For some record types we are using the COPA Planning Module on R/3 to "upload" to COPA.  Running COPA reports in R/3 these record types show up.  In BW, the dataloads are not picking these record types up.
    So my question:
    What has to happen on the R/3 side, when using the COPA planning module, to "upload/update" these records so BW recognizes them?
    Thanks,  Mark.

    Anyone have any ideas?

  • COPA plan version

    Currently, only version 0 is used for actuals and plan.  Again this year we have used version 0 for cost center planning, profit center planning and also COPA planning.  The user community would like to create a new version for COPA planning only to upload new data.  Can I have a different plan version # for COPA only for this year?  If so, how do I do that?  Does it impact the other areas of planning?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    Did you checked infoobject 0version??
    Just check it
    I think it is of char 1.

  • Budget and Target COPA Planning tables

    Dear All
    I started to use SAP .Net Connector 3 with VS2010.
    I want to get the Budget and Target from SAP tables it all reside in COPA planning.
    The TCode = “KEPM”.

    Almost all .NET Connector work begins with finding the right RFC-enabled BAPI to call.  In your case, this is most likely BAPI_COPAPLANNING_GETDATA.  From that point, please refer to the tutorials available for invoking this function module from your C# or VB code.

  • Undelete COPA plan data

    Hi Experts,
       I have used KE1C to delete COPA plan data. It generate a negative posting to offset. Later, I found I have deleted it wrongly. Is there any way to undelete the data? Thanks.

    hi,
    Transaction KE1C is used to delete planning data.          
    But KE1C does not phyically delete entries made in table      
    CE2xxxx. The method used in this situation is the reversal method (the    
    line item is reversed out of the table by posting a negative line item).  
    If you want to delete these line items totally then it is necessary to     
    use the archiving transaction SARA. This will reduce the table   
    size.                                                                               
    You could also use KE13N to post the delta to edit/correct the entries.  
    For example for customer A and product B you have revenue of 1000 (but  
    it should be 900). In that case you can post a line item of -100 so      
    that the result is 900.                                                   
    You can see which option is most suitable for you.

  • COPA Planning Framework

    Dear Experts,
           I am doing COPA Planning Framework.
    First Step: Created Planning Level as Co.Code Sales Plan.
    Second Step: Created Planning Package as Co.Code Sales Plan for 2010.
    Now I am trying to create Planning method. But system automatically showing that Planning Level as Planning Method.
    Why it is like that?
    Then Should I need to create directly the Parameter Set?
    Pls correct me.....
    Regards,
    Balaji Bhonsle..

    Hi Balaji ,
    A planning layout consists of a header area and the lead and data columns
    Header Area
    One or more rows make up the header area of a planning layout. These rows display the global selection criteria for all the plan data that is displayed, or to be entered in the layout. The characteristic values in the header area (for example version, fiscal year) move within the limits that are set by the selection criteria in the planning package or level. They are valid for the entire planning layout. The header area can contain only characteristics, that is, no key figures. You can also build planning layouts that do not contain header areas. Usually, however, this will only be appropriate when you use very few characteristics and especially when very few combinations can be formed from the characteristic values. Otherwise, the layout will contain either very many columns or very many rows..
    Lead Columns,
    The lead columns determine what the plan data displayed in the data columns refers to:
    If you display key figures in the data columns, then the lead column shows which characteristic values (or which combination of characteristic values) the plan data in the data columns refers to.
    If you display key figures in the lead column, then the lead column contains a list of all the key figures used in the layout. This means that each row in the data column contains the plan data for the key figure listed in the lead column.
    Each planning layout must have at least one lead column.
    Suppose Report is
    Fiscal Year                   Revenue
    2010                                500
    Then  fiscal Year will become lead colums ...

  • COPA Planning Framework(KEPM) valuate system

    How the COPA Plannign Framework(Tcode KEPM) works?
    Where they pull out the figure or value fields? How the system will work?

    You define planning levels , planning package, and planning method. This then allows you to enter your plan data into COPA. It can be used to calculate and distribute plan data too. The set up uses value fields and characteristics from COPA.
    plsassign points to say thanks.

  • Check material master data attributes for COPA planning?

    Hi
    Our users use COPA for sales forecast. Apparantly they don't know their data, because they often manage to plan sales on materials that are no longer "active", defined by "plant specific material status" in the MRP view of the material master.
    They would like the system to issue a warning or forbid planning on a material if it has a certain status.
    I don't know any way to do this other than getting someone to code a validation that runs whenever planned data is saved. Is there an easier way?

    Actually, we are only using ke11 for planning input, so your suggestion won't work for us:-(
    However, reading it and trying to write why it wouldn't work inspired me to come up with a possible solution myself using simple derivation:-)
    Rule 1:
    Table lookup:Source field MARC-MMSTA, target field USERTEMP1
    Condition: PLIKZ=1
    Rule 2:
    Derivation rule: Source field USERTEMP1, target field USERTEMP2
    Condition: PLIKZ=1
    Attribute: "Issue error message if no value found"
    Rule values: Only entries for the valid status (we only have vlaues 1-4, so I just made mapping 1-1, 2-2, 3-3 and left out 4, which should not be planned)
    This solution doesn't require that the field is added to the CO-PA structure which is a nice bonus:-)
    The request was for a warning, but maybe an error will be acceptable as well.

  • COPA planning - no plan data visible in KE30

    Hi all ,
    I have a issue with the planning in COPA.
    I did the planning and upload from excel , but I'm not able to see what I planned in the KE30 report / plan column.
    in the planning package the selection is :
    - controlling area : "X"
    - company code : "X"
    - period / year : from 001.2006 to 012.2006
    - posting type : F
    - version : 0
    in the KE30 report form / plan column the selection is :
    - plan/act indic. : 1
    - version : 0
    - fiscal year : variable (same as in actual column where the data exist)
    - period : variable (same as in actual column where the data exist)
    The issue is that even I planned and I can see the plan document in the line Items , it is not visible in the KE30 report.
    thx,
    Mihaela K

    Hi Mihaela
    If you are sure that Plan Line Items are posted, then there is an issue with your report definition...
    First, check CE2XXXX table or KE25 report.. If you see line items there, then check the steps below
    1. Go to KE35 and check your form
    2. Check what is the Plan/Actual Indicator that you selected... for Plan you should select "1".
