Incorrect material group derivation for Profitability Analysis doucment

Hi Gurus,
I found out some of the Profitability Analysis doucment generated with wrong material group assigned. Material group was derived from Product number, in my case it is defined as "table lookup" step type as below.
Source fields for table lookup:
MARA-MATNR = COPA-ARTNR
Assignement of Table fields to target fields:
MARA-MATKL = COPA-MATKL
Any idea of why this could be happen? Will it be due to my program error?
Pls advise asap.
Thanks & regards,
LOI

check KEQ3. maybe it is defined as "not used"

  • Characteristic Derivation in Profitability Analysis

    Dear Experts,
    I am finding it bit difficult to understand the concept fully when it comes to the Characteristic Derivation in Profitability Analysis.
    I had gone through the various SAP explanations of MOVE, LOOK UP, ENHANCEMENT, DERIVATION RULEu2026. And now I am having rough understanding of all of it. But I am finding it difficult to understand on how these various steps or rule impact the COPA output. In other words if someone can explain the usage of all the MOVE, LOOK UP, ENHANCEMENT, DERIVATION RULE steps with an example?
    Thanks in advance
    Paul

    Hello Paul,
    Its purely clients decision/requirements  which determine whether derivation is required or not.  But in all COPA implemenation you need at least couple of derivations.
    I will explain a simple scenario for Table Look up. Suppose you are settling production orders linked to a sales order ( Make to order scenario).
    When the production order settles variances to COPA, system will not transfer Customer ( sold to party) characteristics.
    But you can tweak the system through a small derivation rule to bring the customer from sales order and pass it to COPA when production order is settled.
    For table look up first you have to identify the table, here our reference is sales order (VBAP-VBELN) and the required field is sold to party (VBAP-KUNNR), both are in VBAK
    In the source field for table look up
    VBAP- VBELN =  CO-PA- KAUFN ( means if sales order number from VBAP table is same as the COPA sales order number)
    VBAK-KUNNR= CO-PA-KDNR  ( then pull the customer number associated with that sales order and populate the COPA customer field)
    Please carefully go through SAP help for derivation, it is clearly explained with simple examples

  • Incorrect Commitment item derived for GR/IR for service orders

    Hi Guys
    We are currently on support pack 14, release 200 of EA-PS. I'm experiencing problems in with FM account assignment derivation. Especially with regards to service entry sheets.
    The system is deriving account assignments well from goods reciepts to invoice reciept stage. The problem kicks in when clearing GR/IR - clearing using transaction code MR11. The system derives the expenditure commitment item using the GR/IR account in FI. I created assignments for my commitment items to be derived from G/L accounts as there is a one to one relationship between my G/L account and commitment item.
    This condition results in a debit and credit entry being posted to the same commitment item in one transaction. I would expect only one item to be posted to the expense commitment item as it is the only one in the two line document whose financial transaction field set to 30. The GR/IR commitment's financial field is set to 40.
    Regards
    Thuso Mudau.

    Hi,
    First thing I's do is to activate the FMDERIVE trace and see what is this commitment item derived from.
    See what GL accounts are posted in the financial doc, and have a look at the log to see if the commitment item is derived directly from those acocunts.
    Let me know the results...

  • Source List for Material Group

    Hi All,
    How do I maintain a source list for a material group.? Since ME01 requires a material, I cannot create source list in this tranasction.
    The client want a the Source (for material Group) to be assigned automatically in PR assignment step.
    Again, within a material group there can be several infor records, For example:
    Mater Group: Office Supp.....I can have two infor rec for the same vendor....one with "Short Text" Notepad and another info rec with "Short Text": Paperclips. Or the second info record could be a different vendor also.
    How could the system know which one to assign as a source since it's the same material group (one for Notepads and the other for paperclips)??
    Thanks in advance

    Hi duke,
    In SAP we have a choice of creating source list for a "Material Group ". Following is the method.
    You may have the outline agreements related to material group rather than a single specific material - For ex. outline agreement with a item category M( Material unknown) or      W ( material group).In doing so you can decide whether to exclude or include certain materials of the relevant material group by means of the source list.
    To create the source list for a material group proceed as follows.
    1) On the outline agreement overview screen, select the items for which you wish to enter the source list record & choose Item --> Maintain source list
    2) To exclude the particular material keep the "Exclusion" indicator set against a material with a validity period.
    I hope this will be useful to you.

  • Profitability Analysis for Project and Project Team

    Hello Experts,
    Need your ideas and expertise to the below business case, could be simple or complicated, please provide some insight.
    the business case is like this. 2 specific project teams are available. there can be around 10 projects executed in a year. So in our PS we can have project team allocated to a project. workforce planning is done for the project for effective utilization, it is like 2 projects with 2 teams assigned. till now it is fine. the business calls for that 1 st team is assigned to another project only after closure of the assigned project.
    Let us assume P1, P2,...P10 are the projects in a year. Assume T1, T2 are the teams available. Initially T1 is assigned to P1, T2 is assigned to P2.
    Business confirms that T1 will be assigned to P3 only after completion of P1. This requirement is also straight. Assume that team T1 has executed 6 projects and team T2 has executed 4 projects.
    The requirement is profitability analysis at project level i.e at P1, P2, ...P10 which is also pretty straight. Business requirement is also to have profitability analysis against each team i.e for T1 and T2. it is like each team has a project lead and team assigned under him. based on the expenses and revenue booked against the team, there will be performance evaluation of the team.( assume that P1, P3, P5, P6, P8,P9 are the projects executed by team T1, we need to have revenue and expenses of the said projects to be mapped to team T1 as well), so we have profitability analysis at team level.
    Experts, require your advice on how to map the requirement. Is there any possibility to map projects to team rather assigning team to a project. please advice. provide some insight on how do we map the scenario.
    Regards,
    Murthy

    Hello Murthy,
    In SAP you carry out Month end closing activities. In order to carry out this activity, you post all period based data on the project. Subsequently data relevant for Profitability analysis can be determined for the given period and then this data can be settled to COPA.
    This data can be evaluated in the project information system or in Profitability analysis.
    You can check report KE30 for Profitability Analysis.
    Refer SAP help for more details

  • Where do I find list of material group for service material

    Hi,
    please any one tell , where do i find list of material group used for service materials?
    regards,

    Hi,
    What is the criteria u are using to find out material groups?? If it is on the basis of material type DIEN (services) then go for T code MM60 put material type and u will get all the materials with material groups which has material type as DIEN.
    Also u can directly go to SE16 and in T023 table find all the material groups.

  • Costs of the product calculation lack in the profitability analysis

    Hello there,
    A group of students and I are currently working on a SAP project which is about to implement a full cost accounting in the SAP system (ERP). At first we used a case study reading (Friedl,Hilz,Pedell), some important components for calculating the products like u201Ccosting sheetu201D, u201Ccost component structureu201D and u201Ccosting variantu201D do exist already.
    For our project we had to insert an additional primary cost center. For that reason we also added new components (the above given ones). After that the costs for our products could be calculated in the right way. We also booked supplies and stated the quantity of sales. Our problem is that the Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) does not show any costs of our cost centers (material input, manufacturing costs, overhead costs) only the earnings. We did not add any u201Cattributesu201D, u201Cderivation rulesu201D or u201Cvalue fieldsu201D but fulfilled all requirements in the Customizing menu (u201CAssign costing key to productu201D, u201CAssign costing key to productu201D, u201CAssign value fields for cost component structureu201D).
    The first time when we used the case study reading and therefore another company code everything worked fine. We think that the problem might be that the costing key is not attached to the products.
    Thank you for any help and suggestions,
    Kind regards!

    In the same area as where you assign the costing key to the product, there is also an entry where you need to define the costing key. You don'tr mention that you have done that.
    In the user menu for Profitability Analysis, there are also a lot of tcodes that will help you investigate the flows of values and derivation of characteristics. They are very helpful in most cases.

  • Free good item proposal by considering material group

    Hi,

    For example:
    Material 1 - Drink 1  1500 ml. 
    Material 2 - Drink 2  1500 ml.
    Material 3 - Drink 3  1500 ml.
    If customer buy either Material 1 or Material 2 or Material 3 10 Each, they will received free goods 1 Each. How can I do this?
    As I have maintain customized key combination for free good condition record material group wise  i.e. in "NA00" and maintained condition record  for free goods master by material group but in sales order entry, system will consider free goods by Material Code not Material Group.
    Like the above scenario, is it possible that a sales order of
    Material A1 - 3 pieces
    Material A2- 5 pieces
    Material A3- 2 pieces
    will propose me a free goods item for 1 piece since the qty sums up to 10.
    Can the above requirement be configured in SAP??
    Please help with your valuable inputs and suggestions in std SAP.

  • Material group in Material master

    Dear All Warm greetings
    How to configure display of materials through material group? For end users
    Example when my user wants to view any material, system should only show the materials which he should as per material group
    Example while create Purchase requisition/Purchase order & display of material from MM04
    I tried by using parameter id in user profile, own data
    WGR & WM1 but doesnu2019t work
    Pleas advice me how can i process, Help he out with some solutions.
    Regards

    Edited by: shamulheq on Dec 22, 2009 7:52 AM

    Shamulheq
    I am a little unclear of your requirements.
    SET/GET parameters (from 'user profile own data') generally only work when the field is displayed on a selection screen for a program.  The parameter will then automatically populate the field on the selection screen. 
    As it happens, the two parms WGR and WM1 you mentioned are not used by any programs that I can see.
    MM04 does not contain material group, assigning a set/get parm to your userid wouldn't change much anyway.
    If you are talking about making it easier for your users to select a material, based on materials assigned to a material group, then you could try the F4 help on Material 'L - Material by Material group'  Here, you could enter the MatGrp and then have  displayed a list of the materials that are assigned to that group.  From this list the user could select the appropriate material.
    If you are talking about pre-populating the Material Group field in ME51 (probably other screens as well), try using parameter MKL in your user parameters.  You should log off/log on after changing a SET/GET parameter to see the effect.
    If you are talking about PREVENTING a user from displaying materials outside of a particular MatGrp, then you should consult with your authorization team to see if they can provide a solution.

  • Material group search list

    Hi Expert,
    I have a very simple problem but i cannot find the solution.
    When we go to MM03, we are able to search material code by material description for eg: place your cursor on the material code field, press F4 and enter " jett ", list of description with JETT will come out regardless it is capital or small letter.
    But however, if you search for material group list, for eg: place your cursor on the material group field,press F4 and enter " raff ", it will only list out the material group and description with "raff" . Other material group desc which also contains of raff but with capital letter will not come out. Means it is a case sensitive. Is this standard or we can set it somewhere so that it can ignore case sensitive, just like material code and material description?
    Thanks,
    Crystal

    Hi Crystal,
    The behaviour you are seeing is per standard design.
    For the Material Group, the standard generated search help H_T023
    is used. You may see this in transaction SE12.
    H_T023 browses through table T023 where all the Material groups are
    kept. The Search Help automaiticaly inherits the attributes of the
    fields in it from the Data Dictionary.
    The Material Group Description Example (WGBEZ) which belongs to Domain
    TEXT20, inherits the Case-sensitivty flag from TEXT20 which is set.
    The options which exist are as follows: (None of which are Supported
    by SAP as standard
    - You could change all descriptions for all you material groups to be
      Uppercase. To facilitate this, a small ABAP could be written.
    - You could create your own Search Help for Material Group, using its
      own view, and here specify that you do not want case sensitivity.

  • Management InfoRecords Type Material Group - Vendor

    Hi gurus,
    I have created a lot of inforecords for services (type material group-vendor) for production reasons (because in external operations in routings the purchase requisition is as service).
    My problem is how to select the vendors on flexible way. For example, when I am assigning a purchase requisition in ME57 appears all inforecords for ALL service in this material group. I need appears only the inforecords created for the specific service related in purchase requisition. Is posible?
    Please let me know how to achieve this. Any idea?
    I will revvard all answers!!!

    I don't pretend the system put automatically an inforecord, but I need in ME57 when I try assign a source supply, the list of InfoRecords for choose only appears the relevant inforecords for the type of "service" of the purchase requisition. Now, system shows me all inforecords for all material group-vendor created. I have differents inforecords for the same vendor for different actions, it is confusing for user.
    Maybe exists some key classification or a way to identify the inforecords more easily...
    Any idea?? Is posible or not? What do you think?
    Thank you, revvard points sure!!

  • Activate Profitability analysis

    Dear Gurus,
    Whnever My SD member is creating the Excise Invoice in J1IIN, thn the message is coming as "<i><b> Activate Profitability Analysis in Controlling Area</b></i>". After activating the same the message is coming as " <i><b>System failure during the locking of the GL account".</b></i>
    The Message no for Profitability analysis is KI144.
    SATYA

    Have you defined Excise GL code as a cost element in controlling and assigned to PA segment?
    In case you do not want to activate COPA, remove the assignment to PA and assign default cost center in case you are not able to delete cost element (t code KA04).

  • How to update Material group code in contracts ?

    Hi,
    We implemented SAP in my company a year ago. AS you can imagine we need to do some cleaning now we know how it works...
    We have change the Material Group code for over 1100 items.
    Thing is, the material group code in the contracts do not update automatically.
    I see two ways to handel this :
    1- re-enter contract
    2- delete lines that needs to be changed and recreate them...
    I know for sure that both solutions would work but they are time consuming so I was wondering if one of you had another idea ( a quick or at least a massive one would be appreciated...)
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    You can use transaction MEMASSCONTRACT for mass changes to contracts
    Caution:- Please use this transaction if you know, else first practice it in sandbox and then use in production environment
