Maintain Operating Concern

We are only tracking expenses & revenue by products. My question is , while maintaining Operating Concern, do we need to choose the Characteristics. Because I do not see the Characteristic "Product" there. All we have there is "Product Hierarchy". How do we get to choose Product in "Maintain Operating Concern"?

Hi Sheena,
In KEA0 Product is a Fixed charachteristic provided by SAP. The technical field name is ARTNR and origin table is MARA. You can check the field once you click on extras - Fixed fields in data structure view of KEA0.
Hope it helps.

  • Maintaining operating concern after adding new value field

    Hello,
    I added a new value field to our live operating concern,maintained the data structure throguh KEA0(Maintain operating concern).The changes are transported from Development to Quality,Changes were reflected in Q system.After testing in Q system transports were pushed to production system.The new value field is added to the operating concern. When i check the log for KEA0 in production system it displayed one message like:
    Field VV088 was added to the reference structure
    Message no. KE782.You probably either  changed the operating concern or SAP-EIS aspect, and added the field VV099 to the definition.
    The added a CO-PA value field:
    In this case, the field is added to the definition or the summarization levels. This invalidates all existing levels. Consequently, you need to activate them again and fill them with data.
    In production system maintaining operating concenr or KEAO is only in display mode.Is it needed to regenerate the operating concern once again in production, how to do it. Is the message talking about the KEDV summarization levels.?
    thanks
    rahul

    Hi,
    No no ....KEDV is nothing to do here....that is creation of summarization in CO-PA.
    Since you added new value field you necessarily have to Regenerate the operating concern...
    Use Tcode KEA0...go to Environment tab...there the status of Cross client part  and client specific part both will be in RED....now just click on the Cross client (candle button)...now the system would regenerate the operating concern...once it is over do the same for the client specific...
    Beware when you do regenerate the operating concern no body can enter any transaction in that server since it is cross client table ...hence better do it after business hours.
    Hope this helps!
    Running KEDU with rebuild is relevant only when you already have created summarization and called up the same in the CO-PA report "options" tab. If you did not created the summarization you are nothing to do with KEDU.
    Next: The new value field has to be transported to PRD and hence even in PRD we have to do the regeneration manually.

  • Maintain Operating Concern (KEA0)

    Hi,
    I have created a new value field via KEA0. The problem is how can i transport the changes to production system? Thanks.

    Use KE3I to transport your Operating Concern. Then use KE0A to regenerate it. Always test in QA first.
    pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks.

  • Remove Value Field from Operating Concern

    Hi all,
    I created a new value field in DEV and assigned it to the corresponding Operating Concern.
    Now, after some discussions, it is not necessary this value field.
    I want to "un-assign" from the Operating Concern they use.
    No data is being posted to this value field and nothing has been transported to QA yet.
    Is this possible? Any ideas?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Flower.

    I guess you can delete the value field as it was not transported to QA and PRD.
    Here is some information given by SAP.
    Deleting characteristics/value fields from an operating concern
    You can delete characteristics and value fields retrospectively from an operating concern that you have already activated. However, you should only use this deletion function for operating concerns that have not yet been used productively. You should also note that some database systems require the operating concern tables to be converted (database conversion) after the deletion has taken place if data had already been posted to the operating concern. Depending on the data volumes involved, the database conversion can take a matter of seconds or indeed several hours. Moreover, you cannot post data or run reports during the conversion. Due to integration, other applications are also affected when data is postedwith an assignment to profitability segments (such as settlement and direct assignment from FI/MM). If the operating concern has been transported to another system (such as the productive system), then the database conversion must also occur in that target system.
    Depending on the fields that were deleted, the following tables need to be converted (where xxxx = operating concern):
    Characteristics: CE1xxxx, CE2xxxx, CE4xxxx, CE4xxxx_ACCT, CE4xxxx_FLAG, and CE4xxxx_KENC
    Amount fields: CE1xxxx, CE2xxxx and CE3xxxx
    Quantity fields: CE1xxxx, CE2xxxx, CE3xxxx, CE4xxxx, CE4xxxx_ACCT, CE4xxxx_ACCT, CE4xxxx_FLAG, and CE4xxxx_KENC
    Before deleting fields from an operating concern with a large data volume (more that 10 000 records in a table), you should refer to the section "The Database Utility" in the ABAP dictionary documentation. This section describes the database conversion process.
    For database systems that do not require conversion (such as DB2 for AS/400, Informix, MSSQL), it can still take a considerable amount of time for the operating concern to be activated.
    To delete characteristics or value fields, perform the following activities:
    1. Delete the corresponding characteristics and value fields from Customizing in all clients (this includes forms, reports, planning layouts, and so forth). To locate characteristics and value fields, use the appropriate where-used list in the Customizing Monitor. You can access it by choosing Tools -> Analysis -> Check Customizing Settings. You can jump directly from the where-used list to the relevant Customizing transaction and then delete the appropriate field there.
    2. Switch to the screen for maintaining the data structure of an operating concern (Maintain operating concern).
    3. If you need to effect other changes to the datastucture for the operating concern before making any deletions, effect those changes and save the data structure.
    4. In order to be able to select the fields of the data structure, choose Extras -> Characteristics (or Value fields) -> Unlock.
    5. Select the characteristics and value fields to be deleted and remove them from the data structure with the "Reset fields" function.
    6. Reactivate the operating concern. The system starts by checking whether the operating concern contains any data and whether the fields to be deleted are still being used in any Customizing settings.
    7. If none of the fields are still in use, the system then starts the re-activation. If the operating concern does not contain any data or does not require the database system to be converted, the tables are activated. You are then able to activate the environment for the operating concern. In this case, the following activities no longer apply.
    If the operating concern already contains data, a system message tells you that the database needs to be converted. If you proceed, an activation log appears (at the top of the list).
    8. Analyze the activation log. If it only contains error messages telling you to convert the tables, proceed with the next activity.
    You must otherwise remove the cause of the errors before the tables can be converted. In this case, you should answer "No" to the next prompt, which asks whether the conversion transaction should start.
    9. If you still only receive error messages telling you to convert the tables, choose "Back" and start the conversion.
    10. Plan a job for the conversion. A list of the tables to be converted is shown for this. If the tables only contain a small amount of data (less than 10 000 records), then all the tables can be converted in one job. In that case, you can select all the tables.
    For larger tables, conversion should take place in several jobs. However, you should ensure that table CE4xxxx (where xxxx = operating concern) is the last table to be converted.
    Warning. No other changes can be made to the operating concern during the conversion.
    A copy of the table is generated during the conversion. The database system should have sufficient memory available for this copy.
    To schedule conversion as a job, use the "Schedule selections" function. You can display the current status of the conversion by selecting the "Refresh" icon. Tables disappear from the list once they have been converted sucessfully. If a conversion is taking a while, it is also possible to leave the transaction. You can then continue the conversion using DB requests -> Mass processing in one of the following ways:
    With the job overview. You access this by choosing System -> Services -> Jobs.
    Using the database utility transaction. You access this by choosing Utilities -> Database Utility in the ABAP Dictionary menu.
    You can use the status function to call up the status of the operating concern during operating concern maintenance. You need to activate all tables after conversion.
    11. To analyze errors that have occurred during the conversion, you can use the database utility transaction by choosing Extras -> Logs. The log has the same name as the conversion job: TBATG-date. You can also restart the conversion with this transaction.
    For more information on the database utility, choose Help -> Application help while still in the above transaction.
    12. Once you have activated all the tables in the operating concern, generate the operating concern environment from within operating concern maintenance.
    You can then use the operating concern again.
    If you want to transport the operating concern into a different system, see the section "Notes on transport"
    Note
    Hope this helps

  • Operating concern for two company code with different currency

    Hi,
    We are merging two company code into one SAP server.
    We decide to use on chart of account, and to use one operating concern.
    For company code A: the currency is CNY, for company code B: the currency is TWD.  The operating concern currency is:CNY.
    So i need to in KEA0(maintain operating concern) active company code currency, right?
    So every posting in company code B will be posted in TWD and CNY to COPA same item, right?
    In KE30 report, where to add characters: Currency type that i can show company code B report in TWD?
    Thanks.

    Dear David,
    Yes. If you have different compancy codes within one controlling area, you have to maintain currency type with 10-Company code currecny and while maintaining the operating concern also you have to choose the company code currency only.  Then only you will get the reports with respect of your company code currecny level. This will be basing on your company code-sales organisation, plants and other charcters assignment basis in your configuration.
    All the best,
    Dharma Rao. Yekula.

  • If no COPA then no need of configuring Operating Concern

    Hi All,
    Pls tell me if I am not implementing COPA then I don't have to configure Operating Concern. Pls also tell me the importance of Operating Concern with Example and how to configure it. Points will be rewarded.
    Thanks & Regards,
    JC

    Hi JC
    If you are not using PA then no you do not need to configure the Operating Concern.
    The OpConcern is the organizational unit that holds COPA data, the overall structure being:
    Opertating Concern(CO-PA)
                   ¦
    ...............¦
    Controlling Area (CO-OM)
                   ¦
    ...............¦
       Company Code (FI)
                   ¦
    ...............¦
           Valuation Area/Plant
    You define an operating concern in customizing, t-code KEA0. Go to SPRO -> IMG -> Controlling -> Profitability Analysis -> Structures -> Define Operating Concern. You will find the supporting documentation
    here also.
    I copied a brief part of the IMG documentation below in case you dont have access:
    =============================================================================
    In this section, you create an operating concern.
    In order to use Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), you have to define operating concerns. An operating concern is an organizational unit in Financials. The structure of an operating concern is determined by analysis criteria (characteristics) and the values to be evaluated (value fields).
    In a first step, you have to define the characteristics for your operating concerns. You define characteristics in the Customizing activity Maintain characteristics. For costing-based Profitability Analysis, you also need to define value fields. You do this using the activity Maintain value fields. These characteristics and value fields can be used in several operating concerns. Their definition applies to all clients.
    After this, you have to define the structure of your operating concern in the activity Maintain operating concern. You do this by selecting the desired characteristics and adding them to the data structures of your operating concern. If costing-based Profitability Analysis is active, you also need to select and add the required value fields. The structure of an operating concern is valid in all clients.
    In the step "Maintain operating concern", you also specify the attributes of your operating concern (fiscal year variant, currencies). By maintaining the attributes, you make an operating concern "known" in the current client. The attributes are client-specific.
    ==============================================================================
    Hope this helps.

  • Error when create Operating Concern

    Hi Experts;
         At the time of creating a new operating concern after i have defined Characteristics and Value Fields, and checking the status I received the following error:
    Error generating table KOMPAKE
    Message no. KE434
    Diagnosis
    An error occurred while Table KOMPAKE was being generated.
    Procedure
    Analyze the error using Transaction SE11. Use the function 'Check'.
    Then I wen to SE11 to check giving the table name as mentioned above, I found the following and could not fix the error;
    Then after opening the Long Text it gave the following message:
    Enhancement category for table missing
    Message no. DT192
    Procedure
    Maintain the enhancement category in the table or structure maintenance in the ABAP Dictionary.
    Then by opening the ((enhancement category)) link i received the following message then STOPPED where I could not do anything more!!!
    Enhancement Category Selection
    Definition
    Structures and tables that were defined by SAP in the ABAP Dictionary can be enhanced subsequently by customers using Customizing includes or append structures. The enhancements do not only refer to structures/ tables themselves, but also to dependent structures that adopt the enhancement as an include or referenced structure. Append structures that only take effect at the end of the original structure can also cause shifts - in the case of dependent structures - even within these structures.
    You must select an enhancement category for the following reason: In programs where there is no active Unicode check, enhancements to tables and structures can cause syntax and runtime errors during type checks and particularly in combination with deep structures.
    In programs where there is an active Unicode check, statements, operand checks, and accesses with an offset and length are problematic - for example, if numeric or deep components are inserted into a purely character-type structure and the structure thus loses its character- type nature.
    Depending on the structure definition, the radio buttons allowed in the dialog box are ready for input. Choose one of the possible enhancement categories:
    Cannot be enhanced
    The structure must not be enhanced.
    Can be enhanced or character type
    All structure components and their enhancements must be character-type (C, N, D, or T). The original structure and all enhancements through Customizing includes or through append structures are subject to this limitation.
    Can be enhanced or character-type or numeric
    The structure and its enhancement must not contain any deep data types (tables, references, strings).
    Can be enhanced in any way
    The structure and its enhancement may contain components whose data type can be of any type.
    Not classified
    This category can be chosen, for example, for a transition status; however, it must not be chosen for creating structures.
    The rules for defining the enhancement category result implicitly from the structure setup and the classification of the types used. These rules are as follows:
    If the object contains at least one numeric type or a substructure or component (field has a structure/table/view as its type) that can be enhanced numerically, the object can no longer be enhanced character-type, but is itself, at most, enhanceable character-type or numeric.
    If the object contains a deep component (string, reference, or table type), or it contains a substructure or component that is marked as enhanceable in any way, then the object itself is enhanceable in any way.
    If the object does not contain any substructure or component that is marked as enhanceable, you can select cannot be enhanced. If the structure has not yet been enhanced, you can choose the category cannot be enhanced in any case.
    If you are creating new tables and structures in the ABAP Dictionary, the system proposes the category can be enhanced in any way as standard value for the classification of the enhancement options. If the developer chooses a more restrictive classification than can be enhanced in any way for a particular structure, then only the classification levels that adhere to the rules above are allowed. It is not possible to choose an enhancement option of a structure that is more restrictive than the classification resulting immplicitly from the structure setup and from the classification of the types used. Therefore, only the allowed categories are proposed for selection in the maintenance user interface.
    If a structure depends on one or several other structures, the smallest category is chosen as implicit classification (in the order cannot be enhanced < can be enhanced and character-type < can be enhanced and character-type or numeric < can be enhanced in any way). This classification is greater than or less than the category in the other structures and also greater than or the same as the category that results from the actual setup in the original structure itself.
    For more information, refer to the online documentation (pushbutton "i").

    Did you check all the tables of that particular Op concern?
    I mean  1.Segment level 2. Segment table 3.  line items 4.Value fields
    If not available there then it needs to be added to Operating Concern.   Transaction code to maintain Op concern is KEA0

  • More than one country assign to one operating concern

    Dear Experts,
    I have created one controlling area for dubai entity and one operating concern for dubai.
    now i am planning for country roll out so i have 10 countries for roll-out and all countries head office belong to dubai.
    so i am planning to maintain USD as controlling area currency as well as operating concern currency along with company code currency tick in operating concern and assign all other countries to dubai operating concern and dubai controlling area.
    Becoz management want to see reporting in USD as well as company code currency.
    but reporting in CO comes under controlling area currency and most of the CO transaction reflects in controlling area currency like assessment and allocation where system takes controlling area currency by default .
    any other point i am missing? and also how to see all CO reports in company code currency and how to do assessment in company code currency as well.?
    your help will be highly appreciated.
    regards
    RK

    Hi
    All CO reports are visible in both currencies i.e. Contr area and Comp Code currency.. Just select company code currency in RPC0 for Cost centers and RPO0 for Order related reports
    After executing Allocation, you can use the menu options and choose a layout for Displaying in OBJECT CURRENCY which means Comp Code currency
    While calculating activity prices, you need to click on the settings Tab and tick the check box "Iterate amounts independently"
    You can adopt single contr area provided all companies have same Fiscal Year and Chart of Accounts...
    If any of the company has a different FYV, its better to have a separate contr area for them. Though using new GL you can have single contr area in that case also - My personal exp says its better to have separtae in that case

  • Deactivation Of operating Concern

    Dear Experts,
      How do I deactivate the operating concern.
    Regards
    DKB

    Hi,
    - If you want to deactivate the operating concern you can do it with transaction KEKE for certain   
    controling area. This would have an effect, that no postings go to     
    CO-PA in the future and no account assignment to profitability segment 
    will be possible. So you have to decide, whether you will need CO-PA   
    data and reporting in the future or not.   
    - If you want to delete the operating concern, you need to carry out a number of preparatory steps:                                                                               
    1. Deactivate Profitability Analysis for all the controlling areas that            
    belong to the operating concern to be deleted and in all fiscal years              
    using the function Activate Profitability Analysis.                                
    2. Delete the assignment of controlling areas to your operating concern            
    using the function Assign Operating Concern (Customizing for the

  • Info about a new value field in a live operating concern

    Hi Team,
    I'm working on 4.7 system.
    I have a live Operating Concern with 120 value fields in "Active" Status.
    Some of them never have been posted until now. I need a new "Quantity type" value field, but I can't create another one because I already have 120.
    In addition, the value fields that have not been used until now are "Amount type" ones.
    Is it possible to delete or modify one of these value files and create another "Quantity type" one, considering that Operating Concern is productive? And how can I do it? What kind of problems could I have?
    Best Regards,
    Gio

    Hi Gio,
    Good evening and greetings,
    Please go through the SAP Note No.21207 on Deleting a Characteristic / Value Field from an active Operating Concern.  This should clarify your questions.
    Please reward points if the note is of some use to you.
    Thanking you,
    With kindest regards

  • Adding new value fields to an existing and productive operating concern

    Hi,
    I would like to have 5 new value fields active in 4 out of 6 operating concerns that I am working with.
    Is it correct that I could do this one of the following ways:
    1. Use a value field that exists already in an operating concern and rename it?
    In this case is it necessary to regenerate the operating concern?
    Do I transport the change ?
    2. Create an entirely new value field, and assign it to the operating concern?
    Is it necessary to regenerate the operating concerns in question?
    Do I transport the change?
    3. Select a value field that is currently in the system but is not assigned to any operating concern eg some kind of SAP delivered value field?  How do I assign it to the op  con? Do I need to re gen the op con?
    Which way is the best or is there a 4th option?
    Thanks for your help in adviance
    Regards

    Hi,
    This note is a catalogue of notes of consulting notes where SAP tell you steps, reports to use and son . If you read them (these notes and related notes) you have the steps, guides, reports that you must use. Better advice. Try a solution with all steps in mind and check it in a quality enviroment. As you know there a lot of things in CO-PA concern (you have your own tables, with your own fields, your reports as KE2Rxxxx, and so on), your secondary indexes, etc.. , the best is try the solution in your Quality Enviroment (a quasi-clone of your production enviroment) and check the results (create SO, invoices, after modifications to check possible problems,...).
    Regards,
    Eduardo
    pd: I forgot. If the size of tables (CE4xxxx, CE1XXXX, ...check them with DB02) are so big, get the opinion of a Basis Consultant. Surely in the before note there notes about this issue.
