COPA:Scenario

Dear Guru`s,
I have one scenario...
How can I distribute plant maintenance cost on products in CO module using COPA.
Let say if rs1000 is paid as plant maintenance charges and plant produces 100 quantity of Product A in a month.I wan`t to distribute that rs1000 to 100 quantity,is it possible???
Regards
Nitisha

Hi Nitisha
Its a Looooooooong process
You settle the PM Order to Appropriate cost center.. Assume maintenance is incurred for Mfg CC.. Then settle the PM Order to Mfg CC
Now this cost will get included in the activity price of the Cost center (Say, machine hr rate)
From there, it gets charged to the products depending on how much machine hrs is used by each product

Please give me your ideas on this.

Hi Durgesh,
Thanks for your response,
Data is coming perfectly in RSA3 for COPA datasource.
There is a confusion while reconciling the data with ECC system.(transaction KE24).
Functional consultant has reconcile one transaction with a reference document number and with certain currency type(Company code currency/Operating concern currency).
But still i confuse with the Masterdata Loading.
Because masterdata attribute fileds are taking directly from the operating concern in COPA which is normally won't happen with the other scenario.
(Say for CUSTOMER attribute are CUSTOMER GROUP and COUNTRY, In COPA scenario these are directly available in operating concern which will be available for datasource.But for other scenarios for CUSTOMER GROUP and COUNTRY fill with the CUSTOMER attributes hence my idea is whether we need to load masterdata in BI or not.)
Please give your valuable o/p.
Thanks,
Satya

System Copy vs Client copy

Hi,
I have to choose between a copy with or whitout data from PRD system to DEV.
I'm little confused about the difference between System Copy and Client Copy.
Which is that includes a copy of data also?
Then, System copy = Refresh system?
Please, reply me directly, without post link.....
Many thanks.

Hi,
Please do an SDN search of these terms.
Also read SAP Note 886102 for all system copies scenarios.

Taking requirements in BW

Dear Gurus,
I'd like to know all the steps, important points, questions... All the things necessary for taking requirements in BW. I've been looking for documents but I didn't find anything interesting.
In my case I'll have to handle FICO and COPA scenarios (I have some information about COPA modeling and FICO (not as much as COPA actually), what I'm trying to find is all necessary questions I will need to ask to the client).
Some of the important questions I think are necessary are:
1. KF's and Master Data (and attributes) to analyze
2. Level of detail of the information
3. What kind of information is necessary to analyze? Preliminary or Definitive? Detail or Agregated?
4. Is it any deleting of the preliminary or definitive information? (In that case I guess I would have to procedure to a FULL load of the information)
5. Which tables contain the desired information?
6. Time detail of the information? Day, month, etc.
Any other relevant information I need to know would be great to know
If there's any document you have, it would be also nice.
Many thanks,
Regards,
J.

COPA DOCUMENT IN STOCK TRANSFER SCENARIO-INTRA COMPANY

HI,
Currently in our current organisation in case of STO we are fallowing Stock Transport Order with Delivery via Shipping but without Billing.
It was creating GI/GR/Delivery Document along while PGI.However no COPA document creating. Business want to charge some cost for movement of good between plant like freight/ service fee, which they want to flow COPA in STO scenario.
The data to post in COPA would include:
- Period
- Year
- Period/Year (this is a separate field in COPA)
- Sales Organization
- Company Code
- Product (Material or "SKU")
- Plant ("Site") - (This will be the RECIEVING site, where the product ends up at)
- dollar values for the four new conditions we are creating
- Freight In/ Management Fee
- Accessorial/Fuel
We DO NOT want to post the following data from MM into COPA:
- Cases (volume)
- Weight
Please suggest me how to proceed further to take this challange.
Regards,
Lokanath

Normally freight & service charges if incurred would be loaded into the stock value of the receiving plant.
However if you want to post them to COPA you have to post these values to P&L by making necessery changes in MM pricing procedure and making the respective GL accounts as cost elements and assign them in OKB9 to a Prof Segment.

FI/MM - COPA Integration Scenarios

Dear Experts,
I am new with COPA and we are implementing it in out client. We need to integrate COPA with SD, FI/MM & PP.
I need to know what would be the general scenarios in FI/MM which would require FI/MM integration with COPA as it would clear my understanding and give me some starting point to initiate with COPA & FI/MM integration.
Thanks in Advance!
Regards,
Sapna

Hi Sapna,
1st Integration: SD-COPA:
Most of the values such as Revenue, discount and rebate will flow from SD to COPA (Apprx 75 to 80% of values) at the time of billing. Here we assign the SD condition type to COPA value fields.
2nd Integaration - FI/MM-COPA:
Certain costs such as Inventory revaluation and physical inventory difference from MM and specific expenses like marketing and sales commission from FI will also flow to COPA. For this, we need to crate FI/PA transfer structure and assign the related GL accounts in source and COPA value fields in Target.
3rd Integration - Cost Center - COPA
Usually, under/over absorbed cost will be transferred to COPA from cost centers through Assessment Cycle as part of month end activity. We maintain the list of sender cost centers which are having under/over absorbed cost and receiver combination of characteristics in COPA.
4th Integration - Product Costing - COPA
Production variance will be transferred to COPA from production orders through the PA transfer structure during the settlement process (KO88).
In PA transfer structure, we maintain production related cost elements in the source tab and assign it to relevant variance category in the target.
5th Integration: Internal Order/Any other orders - COPA
As like production orders, even internal orders and other others can be settled to COPA through PA transfer structure.

Scrap in copa by customer,country....CO-PA costing based scenario

Hi expert,
I have a question. In KE30 I have value field for scrap with an amount and my user want to see this amount splitted by customer, but if I select customer I donu2019t have any value linked, all the value is not assigned to char custumer
The pp order that generate this scrap is linked to an SD order, so I think that there should be the link with customer.
I have seen that Profitability Segment Characteristics KNDNR Customer is created and in transaction KEDR I have the following:
In step 13, Table lookup Sort field from Customer, in detail:
Definition :
Source fields for table lookup
     KNA1 KUNNR Customer Number 1 =CO-PA KNDNR Customer
Assignment of table fields to target fields
     KNA1 SORTL Sort field =CO-PA SORTL Sort field
Condition : Nothing
Attribution : Nothing
what i shoud do or check to have scrap by customer as detail in my report. I also would like to see the value field splitted by country , continent...etc all this char are already created and mentioned in KEDR.
i have more then one comany code.
thanks

Hi,
how could i be sure that scrap are charged on PP? If i look at ke24 and i select value field for scrap i can see from orign data the PP order and SD order.
In Characteristics of copa doc in Customer related chars i have the following filed mentioned but empty:
Customer
Country
Customer group
Sales Group
Sales Office
If i enter a new rule of derivation how can i update the historical data? to see all old scrap assigned to the characteristics of customer, country....ecc there is a tcode for update?
For country i have found already this derivation rule:
Source field:
CO-PA     LAND1     Country Key
target fields
CO-PA     WW030     Continent
why it doesn't work? if i have more company code should i enter them in folder condition of the derivation rule step?

GUI- Cop Catching up with speeder scenario

Here's the problem:
A state trooper spies a speeding car going at a speed of 100 miles/hour on I-95. The trooper's car can accelerate as much as 12 miles/hour/second.
* Write a simulator and GUI for this problem. Your GUI should have "Go" and "Quit" buttons, should depict the two cars going across from left to right and should show the point the two cars meet. Your simulator should find the distance traveled for each car as a function of time.
* At what time and distance does the trooper catch up with the speeding car?
* What is the trooper's speed at the moment they catch up?
* Plot the velocity function for each car.

ok so i'm kinda on my feet here.. and this is what i've got so far
import java.util.*;
public class ChaseSimulator
     public static final double STEP_LENGTH = 0.2;
     public static final int MAX_STEPS = 10000;
     Car speeder = null;
     Car cop = null;
     boolean caught = false;
     double finalTime = 0;
     public ChaseSimulator()
          speeder = new Car("Speeder", 0, 100, 0, STEP_LENGTH);
          cop = new Car ("Cop", 0, 0, 12, STEP_LENGTH);
          caught = false;
          finalTime = 0;
          simulate();
     public void simulate()
          for (int i=0; i < MAX_STEPS; i++) {
               speeder.takeTimeStep();
               cop.takeTimeStep();
          System.out.println(speeder.toString());
          System.out.println(cop.toString());
class Car
     double pos, vel, acc;
     double stepLength;
     String name;
     public Car(String name, double s_i, double v_i, double a_i, double stepLength)
          this.name = name;
          pos = s_i;
          vel = v_i;
          acc = a_i;
          this.stepLength = stepLength;
     public double getS() { return pos; }
     public double getV() { return vel; }
     public double getA() { return acc; }
     public void takeTimeStep() {
          pos += stepLength*vel;
          vel += stepLength*acc;
     public String toString() {
          String result = "";
          result += "Current Position= "+ pos + ", Current Velocity= " + vel + ", Current Acceleration= " + acc;
          return result;
}So, I made a text-based version of it with toStrings and what-not just so i could see if the velocities were working (they are). But what im really confused about is how the gui will work. Can you shed any light on that?

Problem with multiple copies of Office 2013 in the same account

This week our company purchased five more copies of Office Home & Business 2013. I followed the steps to redeem online and try to activate it. Now the problem I can't add any more license into this account (it already have 8 licenses
of office 2013). How many license can register in one account? How can I find out which one is which one? It is a pain to install a copy of office 2013. Due to this situation I am sure I had made a misktake and used the same key twice...now
I need to find out which key is reused and try to fix the problem. Can Microsoft make it easier for us? Please!!!

Hello friend,
I've never heard the limit of the number for one Microsoft Account, there shouldn't be a limit as I know, and One product key should only be able to activate one machine, if you attempt to use it activate a second machine, there should be a prompt.
It seems you don't have "too many" machines in your organization, you can refer to the below:
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/537
We can find the license keys for Office 2013 via a script from Microsoft:
Office 2013 (32-bit) on a 32-bit version of Windows
cscript
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
Office 2013 (32-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows
cscript
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
Office 2013 (64-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows
cscript
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
It only displays the last 5 characters, but in most cases you can tell which key this machine is using.
You may also need contact Microsoft's phone service when you need activation issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers/en-us
I hope this helps on your scenario.

Accounting Entry getting passed in case of Make to Order Scenario

Hi Experts,
In Make to Order scenario, as per my knowledge, when the goods is recieved from Production Order the Accounting entry gets passed is Inventory A/c Debit and Cost of Goods Produced Credit.
But how is Cost of Goods Produced, which is an expense, gets crebited? I am confused, because the above entry will create a credit balance to an expense account. Can anybody clarify this please?
Thanks and Regards,
Sameer Joshi

Thanks for the reply.
Do you mean that at the time of PGI, when the entry is posted to COGS, the amount of COP will also get transferred to COGS and then the whole amount will be posted at PGI?
Thanks and Regards,
Sameer

Issue with creation of COPA document

Hi
Can you please look into the following scenario and provide inputs on the issue
Single Finished Material Number in SAP for both plant
Plant 1 (Co Code 1000)u2013 Trading Material
Plant2 u2013Co Code 2000) Manufactures Material
Plant 2 manufacture Material and sell it to plant 1 and plant 1 sell it to third party. How can we create the COPA document at the time of billing (OTC) for plant 1
We do nt want to run the Std Cost Estimate for Plant 1.
thanks in advance
kind regards
sap student

Hi
If this scenario is applicable always i.e. Plant 2 will always make and Plant 1 will always sell, then you dont need to release cost estimate in Plant 1
1. Maintain Price Control V in Plant 1 so that it will accet the Std Price of Plant 2 whenever you do the GR
2. Create a Costing Key in Ke40 and specify the cost estimate Plant = PLANT 2... DO NOT check the radio button "use line item plant as cost estimate plant)... With this, whenever billing hapens from Plant 1, it will pick the Std cost of Plant 2

Free Goods, Samples in COPA

Hello Friends,
I searched quite a bit on FREE GOODS,SAMPLES (Outgoing), and how to handle the same in COPA, there were lots of threads on same, and few good ones. But i had some specific questions on same:
1) For Free Samples in Billing, its planned to do a sort of zero amount invoice (with some tax postings), hopefully the material cost will then flow to COPA through the VPRS condition type. Is there a way to route the VPRS values of scenarios like FREE GOODS, FREE SAMPLES to different value fields, and not the same value field which is used for Material Costs in the common billing scenarios.
FREE GOODS are those that are tied to some mail billing item, basically in those scenarios we have normal GOODS as well as FREE GOODS where as in FREE SAMPLES scenario, we just have free samples in the billing item, and nothing else.
Thanks
Balla

Hi
What you want is not the right way of doing it, but still it is possible in SAP
Either create a new cond type ZPRS as a copy of VPRS and use it in the Case of Samples... This means your Pricing Procedure needs to be changed in SD
ANother option is to use a Separate Bill Type in SD and use exit COPA0002 to move the Value from Normal Val Field to another in the case of Samples

Is there a one click save all edits to copies of photos option?

HI,
    Assuming... I have this correct... is there a way to export and merge all your "edits" with your photos and save them as copies with one click rather than individually / one at a time?
Why? Ultimately so I can save my resulting good photos... thousands... as copies that I can use with other apps... or NO apps.
But why?   OK, I am new and uncomfortable with the file system in lightroom. The way I understand it is you create a catalog, basically thumbnails of your images on your drive. Then any edits you do become part of a metafile, which is a large database of all your edits for all your photos in one file. When you pull up an image from a "catalog" (assuming you have not moved it) LR pulls up the image and combines it with the edits you made from the "metafile" to show you your edited photo.
OK, but why?   Because I use other software and AFTER my year is up, I may not renew.
The file system seems geared to make you dependent on Adobe and frankly, if that is so, it bothers me greatly. (Wait till SharePoint catches up to us.)
1) do not want my modified images locked up or my edits inaccessible.
2) I would like to try and learn it Adobe's way, and not have multiple copies all over the place.
3) but I am going to have to give up my hierarchy and easy way to find and save pics to do it Adobe's way (which I still do not completely understand.)
4) There are some things I do very easily with Photoshop and Cannot use Adobe until I figure them out... if at all possible.
SO before I commit to a years purchase.   Can someone answer my rather direct question as stated in the first two lines.
Thank you,
Kevin
I am old school, been using computers since before the 286's and the catalogs and this proprietary stuff is confusing because I have not found an explanation that helps me ask the right questions or explains it the way I need it. So, aside from the intro training videos... if anyone knows a information source that is useful, direct, to the point (that does not make you sit in your chair going ... My God, I have other things to do today, get to the point... Please share. I will consider every link. (I am used to being the Go To guy and this is frustrating.)

Because I use other software and AFTER my year is up, I may not renew.
In which case, all parts of Lightroom except develop and map are still available to you, indefinitely, which allows you to export your edited photos from Lightroom after you stop paying the subscription.
Is there a one-click way to save every edited photo? No, but you can do it with multiple clicks (Select All Photos, File->Export, set the desired options, click on Export), and even given all of your misgivings about Lightroom (which many people share and many people don't share), that seems to me like overkill. Worst case scenario: you stop paying your subscription and then you can still perform this export at that time.

Excise duty costs in COPA

Hi,
We are implementing COPA in an up and running application. As you are aware two accounting documents are posted during billing process. First document posts revenue and cost based on the sales order conditions to PA. There is another document is posted in CIN dispatches from a manufacturing scenario.
Request your help for
a)second FI document accounts for excise duty cost. How to take this to PA?
b)second PA document will get generated. In this document how do we suppress quantity information. As both PA documents have same billing document and there by billing type. This avoids duplication of quantity posting. This cannot be done in initalizing as billing type is same.
c)how is it handled i.e. whether any user exit is used for this purpose.
Please respond.
Cheers
Yesh

Hi Yeshwant
THere is a std way of doing it.... Tax conditions dont usually post to COPA because balance sheet accounts are assigned to COPA
However, if you are using Costing Based COPA, there is a way to do it
1. You will be already having excise condition types in SD Pricing Procedure, say, EXCS
2. Create a statistical condition type, say, ZEXD....
3. ZEXD will have a condition record of 100% based on the EXCS
4. Map ZEXD to a VF in KE4I....
When VF01 is done, the excise duty will also be posted to COPA...
I have myself done this and it works.... No need to post to COPA from the excise document...
