Cost Elements in OKG2 (Result Analysis Version)

Dear All,
Can we maintain  a Single Cost Element or Can we maintain Different Cost Elements for the Different purpose.  What is the necessary we have to maintain the Cost Elements & At what level it picks cost.  Can any body share some inputs on ths.
Regards

Hi Raj,
If you check the settings for RA version 0 for CO area 0001 you will find that a single cost element is maintained.
Based on your requirement you may also define different cost elements for different reasons...
eg: You want to track Imminent Losses separately... then you can maintain a different cost element for calculating and posting imminent losses similarly you may want to capture Rev. in Excess of Billing in a separate cost element.
You can create separate cost elements for
Capitalized costs, Reserves for unrealized costs, Reserves for costs of complaints, Reserves for imminent loss, Work in process.
As such based on the requirement you may decide to have a same or different cost elements maintained in here.
When you execute RA (WIP calculation) system will calculate the values and will make a posting to the cost elements maintained in OKG2.
Also you need to maintain Line Id for the cost elements you have maintained here in OKG5.

Sameer

  • Stastical Costs on WBS in result analysis

    Dear Gurus,
    At my client scenario, I am using valuated project stock. Normally in case of valuated project stock, actual cost does not get updated on WBS element at the time of good receipt from PO account assigned to WBS Element.
    But I referred SAP note 533207 to achieve actual cost on WBS Element.
    As per note, I have created cost element with category 90 for Balance sheet GL account (called at the time of good receipt).
    Due to this, at the time of goods receipt, statistical cost gets posted on WBS Element and seen as actual cost on WBS Element reports (This is solving our reporting requirement).
    But when I run result analysis (KKA2) on partiular WBS Element, system does not consider this actual cost (stastical cost posted on WBS Element).
    It seems system is not considering statistical costs on WBS Element in result analysis (KKA2).
    Is there any way to achieve this (consideration of stastical costs on WBS Element in result analysis)
    Thanks and Regards,
    Parimal

    Hi All,
    Thanks for your replies....I also appreciate that stastical cost can not be considered as actual cost in result analysis.
    But in case of valuated project stock, if stock is available for WBS Element and not issued to production order or any other receiver, under which category the value of WBS stock is to be shown in result analysis.
    Is there any other period end function to be carry out specifically for stock valuation or
    how to represent it in results of project period end procedures

  • Results Analysis cost elements

    Hello,
    The Results Analysis saves the Results Analysis data under secondary cost elements. These cost elements can be determined thru assignment to Line IDs in the transaction OKG4 (OKGA) u201CUpdate of WIP Calculation and Results Analysisu201D, or they can be determined in the definition of Result Analysis Version (transaction OKG2 or OKG9) in the section u201CCost Elements: Results Analysis Datau201D of the Extended Control.
    Could you please tell me when the system saves the Results Analysis data under cost elements specified in OKG4/OKGA and when under cost elements specified in Results Analysis Version in OKG2/OKG9 ? How do you control this?
    Best regards,
    Robert

    Hi Sarada,
    thank you for your reply.
    However in Results Analysis Version in OKG2 I see the Technical RA Cost Element only in simplified control (Costs Elements Off). In u201CCosts Elements Onu201D control I see the following Cost Elements for Results Analysis Data:
    1. Valuated Actual Costs
    2. Calculated Costs
    3. Capitalized Profit
    4. Calculated Revenue
    5. Revenue in Excess of Billing
    6. Revenue Surplus
    When are these cost elements used?
    In my KKBC_KUN report I can see some of these cost elements (1 u2013 4), but with 0 values, whereas WIP and COS/Revenue cost elements assigned to Line IDs have positive valuesu2026

  • Technical Result Analysis Cost element - OKG2

    Hi,
    Need some inputs on Techincal Result analysis cost element(Whats the purpose and its use)
    How is it different from those which we assign in Line ids.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Cost element created for the following internal purposes:
    For calculating work in process ( WIP calculation)
    For results analysis
    Work in Process
    When work in process is calculated, the following data is updated under this cost element:
    Valuated actual costs
    Calculated costs
    For the calculation of work in process, the valuated actual costs and the calculated costs are only used for internal purposes and do not require separate cost elements. All that is needed is a technical results analysis cost element.
    Results Analysis
    In results analysis, the following results analysis data is updated under this cost element:
    Valuated actual costs
    Calculated costs
    Capitalized profit
    Calculated revenue
    Revenue in excess of billings
    Revenue surplus
    Reserves for imminent loss
    Creation of reserve
    Usage of reserve
    Value adjustment
    Results analysis data calculated by the
    POC method such as:
    POC Profit increase
    POC Profit decrease
    POC Loss creation
    POC Loss cancellation
    POC Loss realization
    Other cost elements
    Valuated actual costs for complaints and commissions
    Variances in variance calculation for collective orders
    The results analysis cost element for the results analysis data is only for internal purposes, so you don't need to create a separate cost element for each piece of results analysis data. You only need a technical results analysis cost element.

  • Results analysis: any way to exclude certain cost element from calculation?

    Hi everyone!
    We are implementing Results Analysis for projects. But the client is asking if there is a way to exclude some cost elements of the results analysis calculation. We are using method 07, POC based in the project milestones.
    This is why they need this. They say that very often they they have costs higher to what they should be according to the month's billing. So they need to send the corresponding part to a WIP account. But not all the costs. They have internal costs (like the hours of internal resources) and external costs (like materials procurement or external services contracts). They only want to send to WIP the exceeding external costs. But leave all the internal costs in a cost account. So to do this we need to exclude these kind of cost elements (secondary cost elements) from the results analysis calculation. Is there any way to do this? Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Thalos.

    Hi,
    In OKG4, next to Line ID there is a field where you can set "N" which means not to include. Make this settinng for required cost elements / Line ID's and then test the changes.

  • Planned cost for Results Analysis

    Dear Friends,
    SAP reads line items from COSS and COSP to determine the planned cost for result analysis.  What line items does it consider while summing up the planned cost.  I wish to reconcile the planned cost as considered in result analysis.
    I am considering the line items from COSS and COSP where
    Value type = 1 or 11
    Beltyp = 1
    Version = 0
    Business Transaction ????
    What values should I put for business transation ?    Or is there a SAP standard report which matches with the planned cost value of result analysis.
    Standard report S_ALR**** does not always match with the planned cost value in result analysis.  These reports read values from RPSCO table which is a summary table.  
    Regards
    Jayesh.

    After releasing production order all primary and secondary costs get attached to the order.
    You can see planned cost in Tcode:CO02>>>>Goto>>>>>>>Costs>>>Analysis>>>under cost trend layput.

  • Results Analysis Message KJ436

    While setting up Results Analysis for the POC method (03) and executing transaction KKA2, we got the following message. Both the CO version and the RA version are set to the same valuation (Group valuation). Any help would be appriciated.
    Basic RA version must have valuation category "0" (operational valuation)
    Message no. KJ436
    Diagnosis
    If a version has actual data (see basic version setting), it must be relevant to settlement in results analysis (see maintenance of version of results analysis).
    If a version does not have actual data (see basic version setting), it cannot be relevant to settlement in results analysis (see maintenance of the version of results analysis).
    Procedure
    1. Check the basic version setting in the maintenance of the general versions.
    2. Modify the results analysis version to conform to the basic version setting.
    3. Turn the indicator Version relevant to settlement on or off, whichever is appropriate.We are using CO plan version 0 (see below) and it is set for actual and plan. The RA version (0) (also below) is marked as being relevant to settlement. These settings seems to address the error message but I guess we are missing something.

    Hai Mikhail
    As u mentioned u set the RA method for POC3 in OKG3.
    Assuming maintained in OKG3 - the status control ,profit Basis,Valuation Level and its Minimum Values.
    Is the RA version been maintained in  OKG2 ?
    In OKG2 - need to maintain the RA version with respect to the Controlling Area like 0 or 1.
    Is OKG8 has been maintained on the Posting Rules - means where the RA version should have the corrsponding Profit & loss account number and Balance sheet account number.
    Kindly check and verify according to the relevant RA used/picked using OKG1 in Config - OKG2(maintain RA versions), OKG3(valuation methods for RA), Define Line ID's , OKG5 ( Assignment of Cost elements for WIP and RA) , OKG4( update of WIP calculation and RA) , OKG8 ( Posting rules in WIP and RA) .
    If all these maintained u will definetelu get the KKA2 result.
    ENJOY SAP PS

  • Doubt in Result Analysis

    Hi Experts,
    Result

    Hi,
    Result Analysis:
    Overview:
    The objective for calculating Work in Process (WIP) is to determine the value of manufacturing activity in process at the end of a fiscal period, during a fiscal period and to properly reflect this value on the financial statements. WIP calculation is a facet of Results Analysis (RA). RA is a specialized tool within the controlling module that computes and analyzes the value of WIP. The terms WIP calculation and RA are generally interchangeable.
    Results analysis is used to:
    a. Calculate the inventory value of finished and unfinished products in a non-valuated project stock or non-valuated sales stock environment or
    b. You are using a valuated sales order stock or valuated project stock and want to capitalize goods that have been delivered but not yet invoiced.
    The difference between SAP and other systems is in the treatment of material consumption for manufacturing. Component issues to production orders, run schedules, WBSs, etc is immediately treated as an expense to the P&L statement. The issue is not treated as a reclassification from raw or semi-finished inventory to WIP inventory. SAP considers WIP to be a snapshot of values that can be computed on demand and passed to the general ledger as required to re-class the values to the balance sheet. This process demands a specific, methodical approach to be used for period-end and mid-period processing. Rules used to calculate the value of WIP and settle WIP to the G/L are defined in multiple RA tables depending upon the requirements of the company. RA is designed to support a variety of calculation techniques and there may and are alternate settings depending on the demands of the company. To support the configuration, scenarios and unit testing need to be thorough. RA needs to be configured towards the middle of the of the implementation with subsequent testing. This will allow for configuration of the data needed to support WIP and RA (chart of accounts, production orders, projects, cost centers, cost elements, etc.)

  • RA Cost Element

    Hi,
    Could some one tell me the behavior of RA Cost Elements:
    1. Are they always in debit? Or do they need to be settled to get into a credit value?
    2. Is Value Type always in Planned?
    I am trying to add up the revenue using the Credit Indicator but am missing all RA Cost Element Accounts, i was curious if those accounts ever move into Credit.
    Cheers

    Hi ,
    You should check, if not done already, that there has been no
    change to the customizing with regard to the "Write Line Items"
    setting for the variance calculation.
    This setting is not particularly recommended but I presume it is
    required to have in your case.
    If you want to get the line item you have to manage this in your
    customizing. Please have a look at this two points:
    1. goto transaction okg2 and go to the relevant results analysis version
       within the point extended control you have to switch "generate
       line items" on.
    2. goto transaction OKV1 "variance key" and have a look at the relevant
       key for your orders. Under the point Update "write line items" must
       be switched on.

  • Result Analysis:

    What is the difference between the Cost element data in the result analysis where we maintian the cost elements Gl accounts in RESULT analysis version with the G/l accounts or cost elements in the Line ID updating.
    We maintain both these G/l accounts where would the posting of the result analysis happen.

    Hi,
    In the Line ID you need to maintain the GL Account range and posting rules for FI you need to maitain GL Accounts for respective Valuation methods.

  • WIP - Cost elements

    Hello All
    My WIP calculation is working fine. KKAX is calculating WIP correctly at Actual Cost and FI Postings happening fine.
    When I look at the Production Order  -> Cost -> Analysis , I can see the WIP based against the 2 Cost Elements linked to my 2 Line ID's.
    For example :
    Line ID          Cost Element  
    A                  1
    B                   2
    I can also see the 'Technical RA cost element' which we link in Result Analysis Version : OKG9 (for example : Cost element 3)
    but the value is zero.
    As I understand, SAP uses Cost element 3 only for internal calculation purpose and WIP is stored against Cost element 1 and 2 linked to line ID.
    I want to know if my understanding is correct ?
    If yes, then why SAP display's cost element 3 in Production order WIP field.
    If no, in which scenarion I will ever see any value in cost element 3 against Production Order.
    Best Regards

    HI all,
    As i understood with the above discussion is Secondary Cost element which i Maintained in OKG9 is for sap internal  calculation purpose and  we are maintaining P&L & BS GL Account in Posting Rules for Settling Work in Process (OKG8) which is to post an accounting entry in FI.
    eg:- WIP dr
           Inventory Change Work in Process cr
    but i need clarity on updates(OKG4)Exactly which cost element we are maintain and what is the purpose. and like wise we are doing masking on ASSIGNMENT(OKG5). 
    kindly provide your valuable inputs for my clearing understanding for RA(WIP)
    Best Regards

  • Result Analysis Settlement - Posting to FI

    Hi all
    I am configuring Result analysis related configuration to post WIP values to FI on period basis. I did following nodes configuration
    1.  Create Result Analysis Keys
    2.  Define Result Analysis Versions
    3.  Define Valuation Methods for Result Analysis
    4.  Define LIne ID
    5.  Define Assignment for Result Analysis
    6.  Define update for Result Analsysis
    7.  Define posting rules for Settlement to Finanacial Accounting
    We have RA connection with Projects
    After making all above configurations when we are performing KKA2 and CJ88, NO FI documents are getting posted and we are repeatedly getting message as there is no "Accrual" values. 
    We even not getting WIP values at KKA2, though we have eligble values at Project.
    we need to fix that at high priority...
    your inputs are highly appreciated..
    Kindly let me know, if any further clarifications required on this.
    best regards,
    S. Habib Pasha.

    Hi ,
    Based up on the above discussion did you executed any standard cost and revenue reports against the relevant WBS elements and verified that costs and revenue are flowing properly to the project ?
    In the RA are you able to see the WIP Values,Planned values and Actual values for COST and REVENUE ?
    And what are the parameters you maintained in  Settelement Profile ?
    Thanks,

  • KJ280 Message Results Analysis KKA1

    Hi All,
    I am Trying to do a Results Aanalysis on one Serivce Order in KKA1 and it throws the following Error , I changed the status TECO, and changed the RA Key ,Just a try, but still gives the same Error Message, If anyone can Help me in this I really appreciate that.
    Thanks,
    Sandhya
    Order without revenue: Only RA types F and Z permitted
    Message no. KJ280
    Diagnosis
    The order type of the order on which you are attempting to perform results analysis does not allow revenue posting.
    In the results analysis version, you specified that work in process for this order is calculated separately instead of through results analysis for the sales order item or WBS element. This means that the work in process will be calculated through the results analysis key in the order until the order has the status DLV (delivered) or TECO (technically completed). Once the order has one of these statuses, the actual costs for the order are included in results analysis for the higher-level sales order or WBS element.
    Procedure
    Enter a results analysis key in the order that is suitable for calculating work in process. To do this, choose a results analysis key for which a valuation method with results analysis type F (calculate work in process) or Z (cancel work in process) is defined.
    If no results analysis key has been defined for WIP calculation, you must go into Customizing and change the valuation method of the results analysis key accordingly.

    Hi,
    Plz check u r RA version. In the version check under calculate WIP or RA for section. I think in u r version there is tick box on Internal and service orders w/o revenue. In conjunction with this check which is more appropriate between first and last option in this section.
    If last option selected, it wont allow if you have any revenues on your order. Then check u r valuation method statuses and u r order status.
