Cost Elements Values flow to COPA

Dear Experts,
       We are using Costing based Operating Concern. I am clear that how to get values from SD to COPA Value Fields, I.e. assignment of Value Fields with condition types. But my confusion is how to get the values of cost element and cost element groups to COPA Value Fields.
This is not my confusion its my client requirment.
Thanks in advance,

Balaji Bhonsle

Hi Balaji
Which cost elements are you talking about? You can directly make FI postings to COPA in F-02 by clicking on "Prf Seg"
Note that a cost element will either be posted to COPA or Cost Center or Internal order or WBS element... Real posting happens only to one of these...
Out of these, some Cost Centers merge into COGM/COGS i.e. Std cost and this is reflected as COGS.... The variance is posted as variance in COPA
Some cost centers like Marketing which do not form part of COGM/COGS, can be allocated from CO to COPA using KEU5...
This is how the values flow to COPA

  • Cost of sales flow in COPA and its detailed breakdown cost component f

    Hi ,
    we have a requirement that we need details about what makes cost of sales numbers in COPA.
    i know the our VPRS value is flowing into COPA as COGS but now we want that we should have ite detailed breakdown as per cost components.
    can you please tell me detailed configuration steps to make this happen so that we can create a new COPA ke30 report which gives us the breakdown of the COGS numbers.
    one more requirement is that for purchase parts our client is maintaing price PB00 condition and some other conditions like brokerage, freight etc in the info record for those materials and they want that all these conditions value should add up to show the COGS value for these purchase parts in the COPA report.. how do we do that?
    please reply soon...

  • 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,

    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.

  • Value flows to COPA through Billing

    Hi!
    we have defined Operating concern as Costing based.
    We have assigned value fields to SD conditon types which are related to different revenues.
    By mistake one of the revenue GL is not defined as revenue element, so values are not flowed to COPA.
    Now , how to rectify values in COPA.
    whether we need to post manually the value to copa to that specific value field by arriving amount by other method?
    or can we repost Billing document to rectify the values in COPA? what is the best method to follow?
    we have another problem of cost of goods sold. we are treating VPRS condition type in Billing as Cost of goods sold.
    But my doubt is even though there will not be any cost element with respective to VPRS condition type, the value will flow to COPA or not?
    we have not defined cost of goods sold as cost element and don't want to flow the value from this GL account which is coming from PGI to COPA.
    How can we get VPRS cost to COPA ?

    ajay,
    KE4SFI, is only to transfer FI documents ( directly posted in FI) to COPA, so, this is not required for us.
    Of course I tried by entering billing accounting document numbers, but not posting.
    secondly, our scenario is now we have to adjust copa values for already posted Billing documents.  For example we have two types of revenues _ direct revenue and pallet revenue. direct revenue already flowed to COPA, where as pallet revenue is not flowed because, we have forgotten to create that GL account as cost/revenue element.
    Now If I use KE21N, I am not able to give reference Billing document number, there by I can get report for each billng document wise.
    Secondly if i use KE4S, if i ticked Update control with "check for existing records", system is not posting any thing ( In this I want to transfer only pallet price to COPA not any other values).
    If  I ticked update control with "Posting with out check", system is generating COPA document i.e it is posting all the values again. SO, for the same billing document we will have to copa document which will duplicate the values which are already posted, which is not correct.
    I think now I have explained my situaiton.
    can you suggest to pass only pallet price to copa with reference to billing document?

  • COST ELEMENTS IN ACCOUNT BASED COPA

    Hi all,
    1. I understand that all FI/GL accounts correspond to COST   ELEMENTS in COPA.
    2. I also understand that there are NO value fields in an Account Based Profitability Analysis.So there is no VALUE FIELD to KEY FIGURE mapping.
    3. My question is: how do we map each individual GL account into BI?
    4. If we dont map each individual GL account, how do we report these accounts in BI?
    This part of Account based has been very confusing. I have searched numerous posts, but they all have the same answers, none that explains how we handle the numeric fields of account based profitability analysis.
    Cheers
    TJ

    You will have a KF lets say amount
    In account based COPA your Cost and revenue elements will identify what does the value in this KF corresponds to.
    your report will look something like below:
    Ex:
    Cost and Revenue Element #     Amount
    800 - Revenues                     1,000,000
    808 - Sales deductions             100,000
    800 - 808 = Net Revenue            900,000
    893 - Cost of Sales               90,000
    231 - Price Difference              10,000
    Total                               1,000,000
    You may get amount from source system in 2-3 diff currencies like controlling area curr, transaction curr...
    Sometimes range of accounts correspond to a value. Ex: Accounts 800-900 resemble revenue.
    In such a case you may create Text node in hierarchy called revenue and use it in report (if no hierarchy available from the source system) or create selection in the report.,

  • Statistical cost element (Value type 11) line item entry in CJI3

    Dear all
    I am doing WBS settlement to AUC thr CJ88. Suppose actual cost on WBS is 100 rs.
    CJI3 report shows the balance to be settled to AUC. Now It is showing 100 rs balance. I carry out WBS settlement to AUC.
    Even though settlement has taken place to AUC, CJI3 is showing line item entry of 100 rs (Statistical cost element with value type 11).
    This also affects our reporting as in report S_ALR_87013558, because of statistical cost element line item entry, WBS actual cost is showing as (100+100 st'cal)
    Also, I read in sap note 666152 that we can define transaction type as not releavent for account assignment. But i dont see this kind of setting anywhere in transaction type.
    Can we restrict the statistical cost element to not take part in CJI3 (CO reporting)?  How we can avoid statistical CO postings.
    Pls suggest
    Madhusudan Patil

    Hello,
    Statistical postings could be generated, if
    (a) you have 2 co-objects, e.g. cost center and internal order. There is a default rule in the system, that in this case the internal order will be posted real and the cost center statistical
    (b) you have 2 co-objects and one is marked as statistical in the master data. Actual Postings only to statistical co-objects are not possible. You can not settle statistical values, they will stay at the object.
    Please check OSS-message 106968. It explains everything in detail.
    You can modify your report, that it will show only real postings (value type 04), but I wouldn't do it. For me it sounds that you have to check your value flows in general. They look inconsistent, if you do not expect statistical postings.
    Kind regards

  • Value flow to COPA

    Hi All,
    We map condition types in SD to value fields in COPA to see revenues and costs in COPA.
    But how do we send the plan values to COPA. What are the configuration settings. Are plan values also updated under version 0.
    Regards,
    Reddy

    Hi Reddy,
    KEPM is used to send plan values to CO-PA. As there will be no flows in case of planning you need to upload your planning data in KEPM.

  • Secondary Cost Element Values doesn't display in Profit Center Report

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having a problem with our Profit Center plan/actual/variance reports wherein it doesn't display the postings I made to the Secondary cost element when I executed an assessment cycle (KSU5). I already set in the configuration that all postings to be done in the cost centers, should have a parallel posting to the profit center assigned to it. I can see the postings in my cost center reports, but not in my profit center report. Could I have missed out on any procedure to enable the secondary cost element parallel posting in my profit centers? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    it might be the configuration of the library or some parameter in the report (record type should be 0 and 2 for actual values, where 2 stands for distributed values and 1 and 3 for planned values)
    but it also might be that the reconciliation is done between different CC and same PC
    - check your CC organisation asignment
    - if sender cost center and receiver cost center have tha same PC it is probably the reason
    - I had that problem my self and didn't solve it
    cheers

  • COPA - SD Condition Type value flow into COPA - Sign

    Dear Experts,
    We have a scenario where an SD condition type has been created which permits both positive & negative. However, the value goes into COPA only as Positive.
    In KE4i we enabled the check box Transfer +/-, however the values doesn't flow correctly in COPA.
    There is no issue with FI.
    Example:
    Condition Type
    ZREB   Discount                  -   3000
    ZHKP   Rebate on Disc        -  (1000)
    Net is 2000, however in COPA it is updated as 4000. Both the above condition types are mapped to same GL and Value field.
    Any inputs will really help.
    regards
    Diwakar

    Dear Sarada,
    I read the notes but still have a question -
    In my case the sales order is type ZXX3 (return w/o reference). The customer makes order of the said type via VA01, then creates outbound delivery via VL01N, then releases billing block via VA02 and finally creates billing document via VF01.
    In VA01 there are two condition types ZXX7(discount) - Rs 200 & ZXX8(discount margin) - Rs. 100 appearing with a negative sign in condition value. When  the customer makes the billing document via VF01he manually enters one more condition type ZXX9 (extra discount / surcharge) + Rs. 50 ..for this scenario its sort of discount received back / surcharge). Hence in the billing document the above two conditions ZXX7 & ZXX8 are deducted and ZXX9 is added.(-200-100+50 = -250)
    Presently in KE24 for this billing document  the discounts appear as - xxx (discount) -xxx (discount margin & -xxx (surcharge)... The issue here is surcharge though positive is getting added up and only one consolidated figure is coming (-350)
    I checked the transfer +/- checkbox in KE4I for ZXX7 & ZXX8 and then rechecked. The netting is being done but the negative sign does not appear now which is wierd. (250)
    Can you let me know whether the values appearing in COPA after changing the setting are correct or not. I use ECC6
    Thanks

  • Inter-company billing values flow to COPA

    Dear All,
    We are in inter-company sales scenario
    Issue -
    Sales persons have created two billing document with type F2 and IV
    Condition type PR00 and PI01 ( inter-comapny price ) assigned to COPA value field VVS04.
    Billing document F2 ( orderning plant ) - From sales order to accounting the net sales value has been updated as 0.17
    But COPA document is updated as 1.17 ( Net value 0.17+ cost 1 )
    But we require the value as 0.17
    In the above scenario FI & COPA are not getting reconcile
    Please throw some light on this
    Regards
    Madhu

    Hi
    It seems you have mapped both revenue and COGS to same value field..
    In COPA, all values are updated as absolute values i.e. without +/- sign except for billing reversals and credit memos...
    You should map both to separate value fields and show revenue- cost in reports

  • Value flow to COPA.(KE21N)

    Dear All,
    When we use KE21N to manually post COPA documents how does system works. As per my knowledge system creates a segment number while posting a COPA document and for this system 1st check that any other same segment number exist in tables or not.
    If we are posting actual data then will it update in CE1XXXX or CE3xxxx. I`m considering costing based COPA.
    Kindly share your experience on the same.....
    Regards
    Nitisha

    Dear Waman ,
    Thanks for your reply.
    "Anyways I do not see how the internal architecture of COPA matters from a user viewpoint"
    Nowhere I have mentioned that I`m thinking from a user viewpoint, i was interested to know how does internal architecture of COPA works for my knowledge as I want to be assured on what I`m working or delivering it as a solution to client.
    One can never assume what`s going on in client`s mind after all client is client.
    Any ways thanks for your input.

  • MM Condition Types values flow COPA

    Dear Gurus,
           My client requirement is MM Condition Types Values Should flow to COPA like SD to COPA. I had seen a screen that KE4IM is there we can map our COPA Value Field and MM Condition Types. But I am not sure that values flow to COPA, Because No document will be generated in FI or other while doing PO.
    Pl suggest me how can I fullfill this requirement.
    Regards,
    Balaji Bhonsle.

    Hi,
    If you read config doco for KE4IM you will find a statement:
    "It is also possible to transfer conditions from MM to update billing data in pooled payment in the IS Retail system. These are transferred according to the same rules as SD conditions."
    So KE4IM is only used in IS Retail. Are you IS Retail?
    If not you probably want to bring conditions from purchase orders to CO-PA.
    I agree with Ajay except for point 1.
    You can actualy trigger CO-PA posting during goods receipt (and invoice receipt) for PO.
    In order to achive it you need to activate "Purchase Accounting" in MM.
    SPRO -> Marterials Management -> Valuation and Account Assignment -> Account Determination -> Account Determination without Wizard -> Purchase Account Management
    Please read doco for Purchasing Account. In a nutshell when you activate it system will post addtional line item for GR and IR:
    Purchasing account and Purchasing Offseting account for value of purchased nmaterial and also for delivery costs.
    In table T030: Purchase account(EIN), purchase offsetting account (EKG), freight purchase account (FRE).
    Define EIN and FRE as cost elements and map to profitability segment in OKB9. Leave EKG as P&L account (no cost element).
    Then map cost elements to value fields in COPA.
    Done.
    Cheers,

  • No data found due to cost element adding leading values in report

    Hi Experts,
    I have an issue where when the run the analyser with some values in variable screen it is displaying the output correctly in analyser tool. I am filtering the cost element with a single value for ex 4545000 and I have kept that in rows . Still the report is working fine.  But then when I go back to variable screen and change the input for ex instead of period 3 if I change it to 4 , output is null since the cost element is adding leading values to the existing value in the filter and displaying no result.  for ex 4545000 is getting added with controlling area 0050 and its searching for 00500004545000 and since this is not the cost element value its not displaying output..
    Any ideas how to rectify this or is it a analyser tool issue..
    Thanks in advance
