Distribution criteria list in Assessment cycle takes time

Dear Peers,
When I click the tab 'Receiver Tracing factors' of the COPA Cost Center cycles, a dialog 'Distribution criteria list' which asks for one more selection for confirming the receiver parameters. After selecting all of them, it takes very long time but in vain.
In my case, I want to allocate the selling overheads on the basis for those products with particular batch, say, which starts with say '1' by giving the range as 1AAAAAA TO 1ZZZZZZZ. This '1' denotes one of the manufacturing plants. Hence, I want to pick up the batches which have been sold across the company code in other plants as well as in depots numbering 100+. I had already created  the summarization levels and now I had refreshed it but it has no effect on it. Do we need to create seperate summarization level manually for this and how? Is there any thing other than summarization, we need to do?
Regards,
Ashok singh

Hi Ashok
Summ levels can be used in Assessment cycles... Your "Distribution List" tab might take time to finish...
However, I would ask you to assess your req once again... This level of allocation is more likely to cause performance issues
however, if no of docs in COPA is not much, then you need not worry
What worries me is that you cant use non-segment level chars as receivers in COPA assessment cycle.. have you specified BATCH No as segment level char in KEQ3? If yes, please undo it.. Else, you are going to face a nightmare situation

    Hello,
    Thanks for response
    Process:
    We are implementing SAP B1 in manufacturing company they do MTS & MTO of labels for garments.What our client did , they put up the operators for creating the sales quotation and sales order under the request of the CS ececutive.And CS Executive have been taking orders from the customer.
    Item Master detail:
    Each orders from the customer generate new ITEM master data because there is variance of size,color,style No.,Bar code,matter etc.So for tracking every ITEM in warehouse operators have been generate new item master data.
    Problem:
    Only for operator support to easily find out the items from the list of item we group the items on the bases of the item group(Price Ticket FG,Printed Label FG,Woven label FG) and Item sub grooup(it is the part of the Item code)
    Is it possible to put different formatted search for different operator on the item no.(raw level) of sales quotation because Each operators create sales quotation and sales order for different labels one for(Price ticket), one for (Printed Label),one for (Woven label),Tape etc.)

  • Assessment Cycle VS Distribution Cycle

    Hello Frds,
    I am having tough time to know difference between Assessment Cycle VS Distribution Cycle.
    1) Steps to Define these Cycles
    2) Simple Scenarios would be great help
    I understand that Distribution is used to allocate Primary costs and Assessment is used to allocate Primary and secondary costs.
    Appreciate your help!
    Jag

    Hi,
    The main difference between Assessment cycle and Distribution cycle is - in case of Assessment we use secondary cost element.
    An example to highlight the difference is as under:
    Common Costs incurred for example for Factory Cafeteria are booked to Cost Center - Z using primary cost element 400100 (Amount $ 100). During period end closing the costs are be allocated to Cost Centers A, B and C in the ratio of 50%, 20% and 30% respectively.
    Distribution:
    Sender Rule: Posted Amounts
    Sender Cost Center - Z
    Sender Cost Element - 400100
    Receiver Cost Centers are A, B and C
    In Receiving Tracing factor - we specify the percentages for each cost center.
    When distribution cycle is executed. Cost Center Z will be credited by $ 100 and Cost Center A, B and C will be debited with $50, $20 and $30. All the postings will be made using the primary cost element 400100.
    Assessment:
    <b>Assessment Cost Element: 600100</b>.
    Sender Rule: Posted Amounts
    Sender Cost Center - Z
    Sender Cost Element - 400100
    Receiver Cost Centers are A, B and C
    In Receiving Tracing factor - we specify the percentages for each cost center.
    When assessment cycle is executed. Cost Center Z will be credited by $ 100 and Cost Center A, B and C will be debited with $50, $20 and $30.
    In Assessment all the postings will be made using Assessment Cost Element - which is secondary cost element.
    The advantage of Assessment is the original postings made to the primary cost element are retained.
    In this example, if we execute a report for Cost Center Z for Cost Element 400100, we can still display the values. If we execute the report for cost element 400100 and 600100 together, the value will be zero.
    Hope this clarifies.
    Thanks
    Murali.

  • Distribution and Assessment Cycles

    Could anyone tell me the difference between distribution and assessment cycles?

    hi,
    in distribution the original primary costs are sent from the sender to the receiver. thus the original costs can be seen in the receiving cost centre.
    in assessment the primary costs are assigned to a secondary cost element in an Allocation structure and the secondary cost elements are seen in the receiving cost centre 
    assign points if useful.

  • Difference between Distribution and Assessment cycle

    Hi,
    Can any one help me regarding the above(Difference between Distribution and Assessment cycle)
    Thanks in advance
    Rajani

    HI,
    Assessment:
    Assessment was created to transfer primary and secondary costs from a sender cost center to receiving controlling objects. During assessment, cost centers or business processes can be used as senders .n The receivers for an assessment can be a cost center, WBS element, internal order, cost object, or a
    business process. You can restrict the number of receiver categories in customizing. n Primary and secondary postings are allocated at the end of the period by means of the user-defined
    key.
    n During assessment, the original cost elements are summarized into assessment cost elements
    (secondary cost element category = 42). As the system writes fewer totals records, the assessment
    has a better performance than periodic reposting and distribution.
    n Line items are posted for the sender as well as for the receiver, enabling the allocation to be recorded
    exactly. The system does not display the original cost elements in the receivers. Therefore,
    assessment is useful if the cost drilldown for the receiver is not important, for example, as in the case
    of the allocation for the "cafeteria" cost center.
    n Similar to distribution, the partner is updated in the totals record during distribution.
    n You can reverse assessments as often as required.
    n You use the Cycle -Segment method to define sender-receiver relationships.
    Distribution:
    Differences between periodic reposting and distribution are due to information content and
    performance.
    n For periodic reposting, no separate credit record is written on the sender for the cost element in the
    summary report. Instead, the totals record for the cost element is reduced on the debit side, which
    means that the original debit amount can no longer be checked there ("unclean credit"). However,
    during distribution, the system writes a totals record for the credit ("clean credit"). The information
    on the receiver is the same for periodic reposting and distribution ("clean debit").
    n Compared with periodic reposting, during distribution, the system also updates the partner in the
    totals record for the sender. This means that the partner can be displayed in the information system
    on the totals record level.
    n As fewer totals records are written during periodic reposting, performance is better than during
    distribution. See customizing for an example with figures that illustrates this aspect. Under utilities,
    make settings for the SAPscript text display, then call up the text by choosing Periodic reposting,
    Distribution, or Assessment from the menu.

  • Assessment Cycle in Profit Center

    Hi,
    Need urgent help.
    I'm running an Assessment Cycle for Profit Center but every time system does not select any sender or receiver.
    Error message:
    Cycle 8ATEST1, start date 20070401, does not include any senders.
    Message no. GA749
    Diagnosis
    No senders were found for cycle 8ATEST1, starting date 20070401.
    System Response
    It is no longer possible to create receivers and assign senders for the segment.
    Procedure
    Check the definition of the cycle in the maintenance transaction for EC-PCA: Actual Assessment. No valid sender cost centers could be found to match your selection.
    If you use the sender rules "Posted amounts" or "Posted quantities", check whether records exist in the database for the criteria you entered (cost element, version...)
    During indirect activity allocation with the sender rule "posted quantities", you should also note that only the difference between the planned/posted activity allocation and the scheduled activity quantity is allocated. If you entered activity types as sender, you should at this point also check the activity type category. For those quantities posted with an activity type of category 1 (manual entry, manual allocation) no indirect activity allocation is possible.
    1. If this is an allocation in the FI/FI-SL area, the problem could also be due to the inheritance logic for FI-SL totals tables, whose "Inheritance of sender based on the receiver" indicator is activated in the "Partner object update" view (T811U-INHERSRC). These are tables that were installed before Release 4.6A.
    Use transaction GCA8 to check this, and see the section on:
    Inheritance Logic for Allocations
    then correct the affected cycle, if required.
    Pls help urgently.
    Regards,
    Vikas Malhotra

    Hello ,
    Did you double checked if any postings occurred to the respective profit centers in the cycle for that particular period you are executing??

  • (KP97) Copy All Secondary Costs and Assessment cycles to Another Version

    Does anybody know if transaction KP97 is capable of copying all planned secondary costs residing on a cost center from one version to another?  The only secondary cost we have been able to copy are the activity allocations.  We would like to be able to copy Overheads, Settlements and Assessments from one version to another. 
    Does anybody know of any SAP functionality that will allow you to copy assessment cycles in CO from one version to another?  Currently everytime we create a new version we have to recreate the assessment cycles in the new version...it sure would save us a lot of time if we could copy them.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hey,
    I currently encounter the same problem, but I do not have the solution...
    I can tell you the following: <i>"If you want the plan allocation data (such as assessment or distribution) to also be available in the target version, you need to make the corresponding allocations in the target version. You need to create the cycles in the target version. You can reference the cycles in the source version for this".</i> This is the official explanation of the SAP Help website.
    The copying of secondairy postings from settlements should be possible, but the copying of figures which result from settlements do not work when I run transaction KP97...
    You can find the information on the underneath location.

    I hope others will give there opinion, so we can solve this problem.

  • Assessment Cycle problem (KSU5)

    Hi experts!!!
    I am trying to do an assessment cycle, but somehow not all the cost are being taken.
    Only the real amounts are being taken. I need also to treat the real stadistic values.
    Anyone can give me some advise?
    Thanks in advance for your reply.

    Hi Alejandro Garcia,
    At the time of Allocation of costs (Distribution/Assessment etc), only real postings will be considered in the Sender object. Statistical postings are only for information purpose.
    Pls try to understand the reason with the following example...
    At the time of posting of an expense in FI, we will be able to select one Real object and two statistical Object. So, If you have selected Internal Order (which is real object) and one Cost Center, then, real posting will happen to Internal Order and Statistical posting to Cost Center.
    But, if you want this statistical posting also to be considered at the time of assessment of cost from that cost center, then it would be duplication of the same cost which will finally reach Product.
    I hope it is clear, please revert back for further explanation...

  • COPA Assessment Cycle using KEU5 for multiple controlling areas

    Hello All,
    There is an organization with operations in several countries. There is a separate controlling area for each country. There is one controlling area, for instance, for Germany and another for Netherlands.
    A problem is encountered while executing transaction KEU5 for multiple controlling areas in parallel. For instance, when one user from Germany executes KEU5 for an assessment cycle for Germany controlling area and at the same time another user from Netherlands tries to execute KEU5 for a cycle for NL controlling area, the user from Netherlands encounters an error message u201C'Cycle XXXX 01.02.2008 cannot be started because run group 0000 is locked'.
    Apparently SAP allows assessment cycles for exactly one controlling area to be executed together. This poses a problem since the organization plans to implement SAP in several other countries (There will be one separate controlling area for each country as per the organization structure adopted by the company).
    Any ideas, views or suggestions on the aforesaid issue would be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Soumya

    Hi Soumya,
    Did you find any text in SAP Documentation saying that "SAP does not allow cycles belonging to different controlling areas to be executed at the same time"...?
    Pls find the following text from SAP Help...
    Parallel Processing of Cycles of an Allocation Type
    Use
    Parallel processing of cycles results in considerable time savings. To process cycles of one allocation type in parallel, they must be assigned to different cycle run groups.
    You define the cycle run groups in the cycle header data. You also assign cycles to the cycle run groups in the header data.
    To process the cycles of a cycle run group in parallel, start the cycles one after the other, if required, in different sessions.
    You are carrying out a cross-company code cost accounting and want to perform the actual assessment in the individual company codes in parallel. Create a cycle run group for each company code and assign the appropriate cycles to these groups. You can then carry out the actual assessment in the individual company codes in parallel.
    When you execute a cycle, you can start a consistency check. The system checks whether you are allowed to execute the selected cycles in parallel.
    Though I didn't come across such requirement, I feel, my earlier suggestion will work out...

    WoW! I'm surprised by the speed you reply and how serious you are with your answers! Thank you very much guys!!!
    Replying to Toad-Hall:
    I have a proper mailing list created as the manual says. It's a small group of contacts that exist in the address book. I do not type them as CC I just write "clients" and before I finish the word the name of the list appears.
    How can I stop Avast from scanning out going mail? It's the free version and I haven't found a real solution. I also tried to totally turn off the "mail shield" but I kept facing the same issues. However, I just turned it off and tried to send the mail, I didn't restart windows or thunderbird
    The idea with ipage server was fantastic! It would never come to my mind!!! As far as I see, the limit is 250 mails per hour. I doubt if I have ever reached the 50% of it. I also don't reach the bandwith limits... Besides that, if I had exceeded the limit I would get multi responses that "mail was not delivered".
    I want to thank you both for your excellent help so far. I'm sad to say that I still haven't solved the issue. When I made smaller lists, with the same addresses chosen from the address book I could send the messages, having a short delay. I would blame Avast but I tried the same on another laptop with my favourite NOD32 and had the same problem.
    What else should I check? Should I focus on Avast?

  • Cross company code posting in assessment cycle

    Friends,
    I developed one assessment cycle to send from Cost center A ( company code A with USD) to Receiver cost centers B ( company code B with CAD) and Cost center C ( Company Code A and USD), When I do the assessment cycle and check the details it is showing me 100% taken out of sender and assessed to B and C.  But when I check cost center report of Cost center A, the credit is not same as the debits ( i made the cycle to take out 100%). When i drilled down in the credits ( sent from assessment cost element), I see object currency to be different from transaction currency ( should be the amount that needs to be credited) even though Object and transactions currencies are in USD.
    Any input on why object currency value will be different from transaction currency value even though both are in USD? Is it something because of cross company posting with different currencies? Thanks in advance
