FI - PCA difference

Hi guys,
After running KE5T there is a nil bal in base ledger and a large balance in pca (comparative ledger) I have no clue what is going on.
Can anyone help please.
Any ideas will be great so that i can look into it.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can use T code GCAC which is for ledger comparison.
Pur ledger for GL 9Generally 0) with version and PCA ledger (generally 8A) with version, it will give you the line items where the difference is.

Vinod
If helpfull assign the points.

FI PCA Difference in Stock A/c

Hi
There is a difference between the GL account (FS10N run for company code & business area) and the profit centre report as at last financial period. I have carried out the following steps in order to clarify.
Via CSKS (cost centre master) table I selected the cost centres relevant to the business area and thereby the profit centres.
Using the list of profit centres from above ran the Profit centre report S_ALR_87009735 for the same period.
Ran FBL3N for the stock account restricting to the particular business area.Then sorted based on the profit centres and checked the PC totals with that of the profit centre report. They are not balancing.
Any guidance on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Nadini

Hi
One of the reasons, why your profit center stock balances and the balances of stocks as per FS10n or FBL3n may be becuase of some of the materials might not have been assigned to profit center.
You can check the same throught Table MARC where PRCTR=BLANK. If there are stocks of these materials which might not reflect in the profit center stock balances.
And secondly you either check for either business area or with profit centers, seems that you selection for checking also doesnot seems to be ok. Check business area and profit center seperately with the same selection.

PCA differences

Hello,
We have posted adjustment etries in previous years.
example: Entry date is 10.03.2010
Posting date and document date is 31.12.2008 in period 13.
After these entries posted we are getting the differences in KE5T in the period 000 in year 2010.
kindly advices how we can resolve this issue.
Best regards,
Bramhendra

Hi,
Run SAPF180A, and SAPF100 after posting adjustment entries.
then check in KE5T.
Please check OSS note : 124301 for further details.

1KEK and 1KEI Difference between FI and PCA KE5U

Hello All,
We have a difference between our FI and PCA and that is shown when we run the Transaction KE5U.
we have a calendar year with 4 special periods as our fiscal year and 12 2010 was the last normal period
The business made some postings in period 13 during their year end close.
These postings in periof 13 2010 are not shown in PCA.
I have tried the following
Ran 1KEK and 1KEI for period 13 => System response: You cannot run these transactions for special periods
Ran 1KEK and 1KEI for Period 12 => The difference still exist.
I dont think we can open period 12 2010 again as the fiscal year 2010 is closed.
Is there a different way to run these transactions and reconcile the balance?
Please advice
Subhani

We figured it out.
we had to perform the following steps in sequence to resolve the issue
1KEK and 1KEH should be run periodically, every time we run the previous month we have to run it for all the proceesing months
1. Ran 1KEH and 1KEK for Dec 2010 => this will transfer all the postings made in the special periods of 2010
2. PCA balance carry forward 2KES
3. 1KEH and 1KEK for Jan 2011 and Feb 2011 in sequence.
Thanks

Difference occurs after PCA Transferred for Accounts Receivable

Hi All,
There is a ticket which says.."Difference occurs after PCA Transferred for Accounts Receivable in month end ".
Can anyone help me in understanding the concept. What exactly does it mean and where do i need to check.
Thanks
Mercy

We were able to trace the reason for the difference.
We checked the difference between FI and PCA and found it is due to old document clearing timing problem.
Since it happened in April and we cannot change in FI , we can only manually adjust in PCA itself.
Thanks,
Mercy

FI - PCA data reconciliation - difference

Hi all,
We have technically upgraded the system in the year Aug 2007 and activated u201CNew GL functionality u201C. In the process we have not de-activated u201CClassical Old GL functionalityu201D since we have not migrated the data from Classical G/Lu2019s to New G/Lu2019s. Both related tables are getting updated.
Our client has implemented SAP in the year 2000-01 and as of today is finalizing the Balance Sheet as per Business Area. As a year-end activity when we tried to match PCA data with FI data, there is a difference getting shown in Tcode u2013 KE5T.
To match the data we have executed
1.     F.5D - Balance Sheet Readjustment Process
2.     1KEK - PCA - Trf Payables / Receivable.
But still difference is there from the year 2001. Need guidance on the following points u2013
1.     Do we need to execute F.5D alone (without F.5E / F.5F etc) every time?
2.     If any assignment is missing in Tcode u2013 3KEH? If that is missing and now if we have given
                that then what about the data posted in past without assignment of default Profit Center in
                Tcode u2013 3KEH?
3.     In past, some of the expense G/Lu2019s have been posted without CO-object indirectly without
                Profit Center attachment. u2013 How to transfer such amounts to Profit Center to tally FI-PCA
                data.
4.     Some of the Cost Centers have been created without attachment of Profit Center in it.
                Afterwards Profit Center attachment given in that hence how to transfer that non-assigned
                data to Profit Center accounting?
5.     In OKKP u2013 Controlling Area setting u2013 Profit Center activated for the Year 2001 To 9999.
                Same activation getting shown in Tcode u2013 u201C0KE5u201D u2013 u201CEC-PCA Controlling Area settingu201D for the
                year 2001 only. Do we need to activate per year or one time activation like 2001 To 9999 is
                acceptable?
6.     What about Transaction Code u2013 1KEI / 1KEH etc?
Points will be assigned for the proper answer.
Regards,
Shridhar

Hi Chetan,
Thanks for the reply, points assigned to you. Your reply has finalised some of the transaction execution for which we were confused.
Our client has made the requirement specific to match the Customer / Vendor / Asset balances with Profit Center instead of matching overall FI - PCA data.
We have executed Tcode - F.5D and subsequently Tcode - 1KEK every year from 2001 and then after that Tcode - 2KES for transferring the PCA balance to the next year.
1. In the year 2001, I found the difference (Only in the 4th period), which was due to the "Manual Posting" made to Profit Center Accounting (Since that data had document Type - A0 - std customization setting made for PCA). Please do correct me if I am wrong ?
2. In the year 2002, if I execute KE5T with selection of "Display Differences Only" system is showing the difference but if I remove that selection, data matches between FI & PCA? Why such thing happens?
3. In the year 2003 I am getting the difference between "Base Ledger " and "Comparison Ledger" for the period 1 & 12 only. Rest of the periods has been individually tallied between FI & PCA. Do you know the reason or the way to map the difference?
4. In the year 2004 data is matching
5. In the year 2005 again if I make the selection of "Display Differences Only" (in Tcode u2013 KE5T) system is showing the differences, currency wise namely, "EUR, INR, SEK, USD" etc. but if I remove that selection, data matches between FI & PCA.
I have assigned points to you for your earlier feedback and will assign for the next answer also.
Thanks & Regards,
Shridhar

Difference between G/L Account Balance and PCA Balance

Friends,
After executing KE5T for the period 6 we are seeing a difference in the G/L a/c balance figures and the profit center figures for 2 balance sheet accounts. In one case the PCA balance figures are greater than the G/L a/c balance figures and vice versa in the 2nd case.
What is the procedure to be followed in such cases? Is there any standard program that can identify the postings that are causing the differences?
Please confirm at your earliest.
Thanks & Regards,
Sameer S. Gupte

Eli,
Thanks for the reply.
However, the note 126910 specifically mentions that it is not to be used for balance sheet account balances transferred to PCA using 1KEK.
Can you please advise about reconciling differences between PCA and balance sheet accounts.
Thanks & Regards,
Sameer S. Gupte

Difference when using old and new PCA datasources

Hello experts,
We have implemented the new PCA datasources provided by business content version 3.3. We have built a new infocube (ZPCA_C01) as we were not concerned about the appropriate performance of these new datasources 0EC_PCA_3 and 0EC_PCA_4.
After loading the new cube (ZPCA_C01) with the new datasources 0EC_PCA_3 and 4, we made a comparison to the content of the old cube 0PCA_C01, that was loaded with 0EC_PCA_1.
For thesame period (2005.001-002) there is a difference between the contents of the cubes. When checking the results I found that this may be caused by the fact, that 0EC_PCA_4 does not populate "Total credit postings" and "Total debit postings" fields in the new cube, however, we have a couple of records in table GLPCA, where ACTIV = 'PRC4', and that have a corresponding record in GLPCT, where there is a figure in
TSL02 field. It results in the fact that>
- 0EC_PCA_1 extracts the figure from GLPCT for Posting Period 2,
- 0EC_PCA_4 does not extract the same figure from GLPCA.
Can you please help me with the above problem? Do you know how Credit and Debit figures get to BW from GLPCA, where ACTIV='PRC4'?
Thanks,
Csaba

I am exeuting a trigger and while retrieving a date field from it using :OLD and :NEW variables, it leaves the timestamp part.
for example,the actual value for start_date field in the table is '10/12/2005 7:04:25 PM', but when I use :NEW.start_date , it returns only '10/12/2005' .
How to make it return the timestamp also?
Thanks.How are you determining that it's missing the time component from it?
If it's a DATE datatype then it will have both date and time components. If you take that and store it in a DATE datatype column then that too will store the date and time components. If you then go and view that data, it will have both date and time components unless you have your local settings (NLS settings etc) set so that dates are displayed without the time portion. That doesn't mean the data is not there, but that you are not displaying it when you query it.

Difference in Price per unit and Standard cost between COPA and PCA

Hi
I did a comparison between COPA and PCA for January. For few products,there is a difference in the Standard cost and PPU between the two reports(product wise). What might possibly be the reason for the difference. And how to analyze the root cause of this difference.
Thanks
Jaswanth

Hi
By PPU - Do you mean PUP i.e. Per Unit Price of Material Ledger??
If yes, then you are not comparing apple to apple.. Std cost is bound to be diff than actual cost

Difference between COPA-PCA

HI Guru's,
What are the major differences between COPA and PCA..
regards
JK

Hi,
this is a pure consulting issue and cannot be dealt within a few sentences.
PCA and COPA can be used simultaneously.
Please have a look on http:// help.sap.com --> ERP (english documentation) --> SAP ERP Central Component --> Financials --> Enterprise Controlling (EC) (for information regarding PCA) or follow the path Controlling (CO) --> Profitability Analysis (COPA) regarding information of COPA.
For a brief comparison between COPA and PCA follow the path:
Enterprise Controlling --> Profitcenter Accounting --> The Concept of Profit Center Accounting --> Role of Profit Center Accounting in the SAP System --> The Distinction Between Profit Center Accounting and Profitability Analysis (CO‑PA):
Profitability Analysis (CO‑PA), like Profit Center Accounting, is another form of profitability accounting. However, it is incorporated in operative cost accounting. That means that the profitability segments in CO‑PA are accounting assignment objects and are thus directly integrated in the flow of data in cost accounting.
In contrast to EC-PCA, where profits are found for areas of responsibility within the company, CO-PA lets you analyze the profitability of different segments of your operative business -- defined according to products, customers, orders, or any combinations or groups of these -- or organizational units, such as company codes or business areas. The aim of CO-PA is to provide the accounting department and decision-makers in sales, marketing, product management and corporate planning with information about the market.
You can define the master data and basic structures in CO‑PA flexibly to meet your companys specific requirements. By choosing just the objects for evaluation (characteristics) and key figures you require, you can create a company‑specific multidimensional structure for analysis.
Unlike EC‑PCA, CO‑PA lets you use an account‑based or a costing‑based approach. In the costing‑based approach, you can define your own value fields for analysis. In account‑based CO‑PA, the values are represented in accounts.
EC‑PCA and CO‑PA should not be regarded as alternative components. On the contrary, they complement one another and jointly provide you with a flexible and comprehensive profitability accounting tool, allowing you both a market‑oriented viewpoint as well as a responsibility‑ and person‑oriented one.
Best regards,
Andreas

Difference between classic and ECC pca

Hi All,
Could someone please tell me what is the difference between Classic and ECC PCA?
Regards
Suresh

Hi
Enhancement of new general ledger flexibility, that is you can enter user-defined fields and update the corresponding totals (Profit Center / Segment / Region). Many standard reports can evaluate the information from the user-defined fields.
Due to the new document splitting function (Online Split) you can create financial statements, if required, at the company code level as well as for entities, such as the Profit centers / Segment.
Using the u201CDocument splittingu201D function (online document split), you can create balance sheets for company codes as well as for further entities such as the profit center . The balance is then set to 0 for each document for the profit center.
There are no longer any time-consuming reconciliation tasks between FI and CO for the end of period, since in real-time in Controlling, the system transfers cross entity processes into the new general ledger.
Transactions 3KEH and 3KEI from the classic Profit Center Accounting for maintaining proposal profit centers for balance sheet and P&L accounts are no longer used to set the profit center.
Display of receivables and payable's per profit center real time ( if document splitting is active).
Detailed information for the setting the Profit Center accounting in the New General Ledger:
Define the update of the characteristics u201CProfit Centeru201D and u201CPartner Profit Centeru201D in the ledger by selecting the scenario u201CProfit center updateu201D.
Define the field u201CProfit centeru201D as a splitting characteristic in the document splitting.
Set the u201CZero balanceu201D indicator again for the added field u201CProfit centeru201D and you therefore have to create balance sheets on the profit center.
Activate the required entry field check to ensure that the profit center is set in all postings.
EC-PCA Profit Center Accounting u2013 Profit center accounting forms an interface between the operative controlling (CO) applications and the Enterprise Controlling (EC) module It reflects the actual and plan postings from operative controlling and settlements components with which it is in targeted in real-time. It then summarizes this data according to profit centers, which reflect the internal structure of areas of responsibility within the company code

Differences in FI & PCA Substitution

All,
I am primarily an SD consultant working on a small solution related to Goods Receipts and Profit Center Accounting.
After searching all the available forums with all sorts of keywords, no similiar issue could be found; hence posting this question hoping someone might propose a solution.
According to a posting requirement for goods receipt, we have activated an FI substitution to override accounts configured in OBYC. This works as expected but our main objective is to have the same account determination in PCA documents too. But the G/Ls determined in PCA doc are different because no corresponding substitution has been activated other than in FI. I tried a similar substitution in CO (OKC9) but the collection of fields is different from those of OBBH. Therefore looks like the logic of FI substitution cannot be replicated here.
With most of my experience in SD, I don't understand why account determination during goods receipt in FI should be different from that of PCA. And what needs to be done to determine the same G/L substitution in PCA as that in FI.
Can someone suggest how the G/L accounts can be kept same in both FI & PCA docs? All of your expert inputs are highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
KC

Reverted the G/L substitution in FI & instead opted to change the account keys dynamically during PO processing, using a pricing routine (condition value formula).

Currency difference in PCA reports

Dear All,
I am facing an issue in PCA report. When I run t code: S_ALR_87013326 for a particular profit center values are showing in the PrCt currency ie. SAR. Later, if I want to check the company code currency (e.e. EGP) by selecting currency translation and select EGP as currency and choose "default for drill down report. Here the value is showing as below:
Later, come back and check for actual line items, the value is showing different as below:
What I have observed is, I have checked the currency settings. Till 20.05.2014, currency translations was 1 SAR to 1.86 EGP. From 23.05.2014, we have changed the exchange rate as 1 SAR = 1.90 EGP. Today, I checked the profit center report for March 2014, it is converting the local currency (EGP) value with today's currency exchange rate i.e. 1.90. Actually it should be calculated based on 1.86.
How to achieve the above scenario?
Br, Srinivas Salpala

Hi Ajay,
Actually, when we check the report, initially values are in SAR. Later, when the user going for currency translation as shown in the below and select the local currency in EGP and choose "Default to drill down reporting" value is showing is converted with the today's rate i.e. 1.90 and the value is 76,612.90.
But when I come back and double click on the item to check actual line item with "In company local currency" from change layout, value is showing only EGP75,000.
Here, client wants when he checks with the currency translation as shown below, the value the value of SAR40,322.58 should be consider the exchange rate 1.86 (which was there at the time of posting the transaction in the month of March 2014). But its considering the exchange rate as 1.90 which is for today's rate.
How to achieve this?
BR, Srinivas Salpala

Exchange rate difference in FI document and PCA document.

When we invoice with foreign currency, document exchange rate used in posting to FI but exchange type M used in posting to PCA. Can we use document exchange rate to post to PCA?

I dont think this is possible. Generally in PCA config setting you maintain this exchange rate type. Go to OKEQ and selelct verion 0 and click against Settings for PC accounting on the left hand side. Here you can see the exchange rate type which is set. So you need to maintain the exchange rate type here. There is no way that document exchange rate can be set here.
