Hi,
I will explain the similary scenrio in Cost Center level hope it will help you.
They are having Two Company codes. Both are having separate cost center.
A expense belongs to both the cost center.
So, when I am making the entry the system wont allow the other cost center for posting.
So, what I am doing is I am creating a Dummy cost center under this posting company code after that i will transfer this expense from Dummy to Real cost center of the other company code
Cost Center reconciliation is must this type of config.
Warm Regards,

Unable to default a value in LOV in Expense Allocations page of iExpenses

Hi friends,
I am trying to default a value in a Lov (Which is a one of the segments in KFF).
This Lov is in a HGrid region of "expense allocations page" of iExpenses.
But i am unable to default that.
I am using the below code.
public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean);
OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
OADBTransaction dbTran = am.getOADBTransaction();
OAApplicationModule am1 = pageContext.getRootApplicationModule();
dbTran.writeDiagnostics(this,"tnv AM, AM1 : "+am+", "+am1, 2);
// AllocationsHeaderVO
OAViewObject vo = (OAViewObject)am.findViewObject("AllocationsHeaderVO");// AllocationsHeaderVO
dbTran.writeDiagnostics(this,"tnv AllocationsHeaderVO : "+vo,2);
Row row = vo.getCurrentRow();
dbTran.writeDiagnostics(this,"tnv AllocationsHeaderVO row: "+row,2);
String arr[]= row.getAttributeNames();
Object arrVal[] = row.getAttributeValues();
for (int i = 0; i <arr.length ; i++)
try
dbTran.writeDiagnostics(this,"tnv arr[i] : "+arr,2);
dbTran.writeDiagnostics(this,"tnv arrVal[i] : "+arrVal[i].toString(),2);
}catch(Exception e)
dbTran.writeDiagnostics(this,"tnv null Exp arrVal[i] : "+i,2);
OAMessageLovInputBean busAreaSeg2 = (OAMessageLovInputBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("KffSEGMENT2");
OAMessageStyledTextBean busAreaSeg2Desc = (OAMessageStyledTextBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("KffSEGMENT2Desc");
busAreaSeg2.setText("100"); // A -- I am able to default this value, but user is having no option to change the value, if i go with this.
busAreaSeg2.setText(pageContext, "100"); // B -- Unable to default with this....
busAreaSeg2.setValue(pageContext, "100"); // C -- Unable to default with this...
Could somebody please help me out, in defaulting this.
Thanks in advance,

Expense allocation calculations on OPM Actual costing.

Can any body provide a Document on Expense allocation calculation on OPM Actual Costing please.
Regards
Raj

Jayabalan,
Sorry for delay. I have to check the other setups too to determine the cause of this error.
Please check if this item is transacted in prior period (Mar 2006) and ic_perd_bal table has any record for this item-whse.
Else we have to involve Oracle Support through TAR to verify the log file and other setups to determine the cause of this error. They may need the Actual Cost Process log file with debug level 3 (profile: "GMF: Debug Flag")
You can contact me through mail [email protected] if you want any help in debugging more in this.
Thanks,

CO - Assessment (Expenses allocation)

Hi,
The client highlighted:
"Corporate Expenses are not reflecting in the trial balance of North
Zone as Corporate expenses are not getting transferred to zonal level from
Head Office level which is required to assess the profitability on zonal
level"
Kindly assist as to where, how and what i need to check?
Please assist at the earliest.......
The flow is:
Corporate expenses > Zonal Level > Plant Level > Absorbed in Product Cost
> = transferred to

Hi,
I might be able to help you if you can give me some details.
If i have not got it wrong You need that 2 cost centers should receive the cost based on No. Of employees which is SKF.
Sender would be : 1 cost center + Activity type
Receiver would be : 2 cost center - with SKF as receiving factor.
So the entire cost at cost center + activity type is allocated based on SKF to new cost centers.
This also depends on the Receiver tracing factor in Segment header if it is variable portion / fixed portion / fixed % etc.
Hope this helps.

Common Expenses Allocation Ratiowise

Dear All,
Our clients wants to distribute common expenses (Eg security charges) in the ratio decided by users from one profit center to other profitcenter. Initially expenses will be booked under main profit center & then they wants to allocate at month end ratio wise. Also the accounting entries should get posted in the books of accounts as per profit center.
Eg.
Security Charges (Main Profit Center) Rs. 100000
Division A - 20% (20000)
Division B - 30% (30000)
The system should transfer 20% & 30% in each profit center & balance 50% remains in main profit center.
Awaits your valuable inputs.
Regards,
Nazia

If you profit centers are assigned properly and all postings for P & L item are happening to profit centers or you have profit center scenario activated then you can get the net profit.
With distribution you can increase or reduce the P & L of individual profit centers. Lets say you have 2 profit centers as A and B. After all the postings in FI you will get an P&L for A and B. Now with distribution you distribute some amount in profit center B to profit center A. Let's say telephone expenses for Rs.5000 out of Rs.10,000. Now the P&L of A will be reduced by 5000 and vice versa for B.
So distribution by itself do not give net profit of profit center but it affects the profit/loss.

Cost Allocation by Product & Customer in Financials Profitability Analytics

Hi,
The Fiancials Profitability Analytics have reports on Profitability by product & customer. How are the various costs & operating expenses like marketing, sales, service & other expenses allocated to individual products & customer in Oracle BI Applications? What is the source of these tables in the ware house?
Any help on the above query will be highly appreciated.
Regards

I can think of a number of Oracle apps that might be helpful. Contact your apps salesperson and invite them to come in and give you a "song and dance."
Specifically ask about BAM (Business Activity Monitoring).

Why ODM doesn't provide allocation cost ?

Allocating actual amount of costs for overhead is not available in ODM while OPM provides GL Expense Allocation.

Because they don't have permission from the copyright holders there to make enough available to justify opening an iTunes Store section for them.

How to amortize prepaid expenses

Is there a functionality in SAP wherein a certain prepaid expenses were incurred but subject to amortization for a certain no of periods. In this case, system will amortise automatically the actual expenses allocated to each periods.
Thanks
Robert

I think you can do this with creating accrual object......
SAP easy Access -> Accounting -> financial accounting -> General Ledger -> Periodic Processing -> Manual accuruals -> create accrual objects
Give company code, accrual object, start of life and end life
Then click on create button on item data tab
Give accurual type, accounting principle, amount, currency and accrual method.
You have to create one for costs and another for revenues
Then click on simulate button application bar and run
Then come to same screen, item data tab... click on one of the accrual object and then click on transfer accural item tab just above the line items
Then click on calculated accruals tab.. there you can see the planned accruals
Then click on posted accruals tab -- tehre you can see the posted accruals.
Then save. The created items is displayed in the navigation tree on the left
Everymonth run the T CODE FBS1

Hi,
For this kind of situation. you have different methods
1. Account solution
2. Ledger solution
3. Co Code solution
If you are using ECC5 or ECC6, you can have parallel ledgers (leading and non leading). If not you need to use Account solution that is you need to have diff depreciation areas and post accordingly.

Issues in Processing the Master-Detail Form values

We have a requirement in Oracle Internet Expenses (11.5.10) to fetch the form values from the Expense Allocations Screen.
This page is based on Multiple VOs with Master Detail relationship. The data from the VOs mentioned are displayed in the Hgrid region.
I need to fetch the input values for three fields (from different VOs) and pass them as paramater to the database function to perform the validation.
Here, I am creating the handle for VO objects and using the Row object getting all rows in range (getAllRowsinRange()).
The issue here is always, the Row length() is always fetched as 1 even it has multiple rows.
Any help on this would be highly appreciated.

Using Select Options u will get mulitiple values also u will get values like table.

2. Advise the application user to sign-off from Oracle Applications and allow 5 minutes before they sign-in again.
Any help or advise in the matter is appreciated.
Thank you.

Error while running Actual Cost Process.

Hi,
Currently i am trying to implement Actual Costing with calculation type as (PMAC). when i run the actual cost process it is showing the error below.
Errors:
Warning: Cannot find the previous cost period record.
Warning: Total allocated GL expense amount on item MN1-004 is zero or negative.
Do please help me in Using Gl Expense allocation process like what are the steps involved and how system will allocate the cost to items.
Thanks

For the currency you are converting to: XXX
INPUTCURRENCY dimension must have XXX as a member with "REPORTING" property set to "Y"
and
RPTCURRENCY dimension must have XXX as a member with "REPORTING" property set to "Y" and "CURRENCY_TYPE" property set to "R"
It needs to be in both dimensions with the right properties. INPUTCURRENCY is the currency dimension in the RATE cube, RPTCURRENCY is the currency dimension in the financial or consolidations cube.
