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.

  • 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

    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.

    Ohter details are as follows...
    VALUE FIELDS : Defines the Structure of your Costs & Revenues. (Op. Concern 120 Value Fields) 
    1)     The client requires three new value fields to be created. Value fields for :
    -     Other Airport Charges - International
    -     Cargo Commission Cost
    -     Personal Cost (Direct)
    2)     What are the Steps involved in creation of new value fields? The steps are :
    1)     Before creating new value field we need to check whether we can use already existing UNUSED value fields (There are 62 value fields created for the op concern 1000, in production the value fields TBUL1-L7 i.e. to be used (I assume) screen shot1 provided. My predecessor has used value field VV291, VV292, VV380 original description being TBUL3, TBUL4, and TBUL1. I believe he has changed the description in development client and created a transport request ref screen shot 2)
    2)     You can create new value field thru T-Code KEA6 (4-5 characters beginning with VV) u2013 My predecessor has reused the value fields originally created he has not created new one I believe. please provide give your comments)
    3)     Specify whether this field is for Currency or Quantity (currency defined in attribute of op concern and quantity defined by its own field u2013 unit of measure) u2013 My predecessor has configured the three value fields as Currency.
    4)     Describe how the values in this field are aggregated over characteristics. (SUM, LAS, AVG) u2013 My predecessor has aggregated all the three value fields as SUM and they are in Active status.
    5)     After the value field is created you have to add the value field (active status only) to the operating concern by Editing the Data Structure. (I guess this is done in the next step)
    6)     Assign newly created Value fields to the Operating Concern u2013 T-Code KEA0 (In development client the value fields are assigned to the op concern 1000 refer screen shot 3. In the production client also those three value fields exist (does it mean they are assigned? your comments please.) As they have the original description TBUL3, TBUL4, and TBUL1 refer screen shot 4.
    7)     After the Data Structure is defined you need to activate them. (creates plan vs actual database) u2013 Go to the data structure tab and Choose Activate. The status in dev client is Active with correct description but in the production client it is Active with the OLD description. After addition of the value field you need to regenerate the operating concern. T-Code KEA0 u2013 right?
    8)     Condition Types are assigned to Value Fields? Donu2019t know u2013 T-Code KE45 (I think this is NOT required in our case u2013 Please give your comments)
    9)     Define and Assign Valuation Strategy u2013 Cost assigned to Value fields u2013 T-Code KE4U (I think this is also NOT required in our case)
    10)     Define PA Transfer Structure for Settlement u2013 T-Code KEI1 (This step is crucial u2013 I think I have to to include newly created value fields, but am not aware how to do it and what is the connectivity or what happens after this is done)
    Note: My predecessor has created a Transport Request No# KEDK902167 for the value fields created by him.
    3)     Whether my predecessor has performed all the steps for value field creation? How to test it and check that?
    4)     If yes then,  Do I need to perform additional configuration or can I proceed to transport it to Production?
    5)     What is COPA Allocation Structure & PA Transfer Structure? Where and Why It is used?
    6)     What are the different methods of cost and revenue allocations in SAP?
    7)     I have checked the status of the value fields across clients, It is as followsu2026
         Value Field     Value Field For     Description     Development      Quality     Production
    1     VV291     Other Airport Charges International     TBUL3     Exists      DNE     DNE
    2     VV292     Cargo Commission Cost     TBUL4     Exists      DNE     DNE
    3     VV380     Personal Cost u2013 Direct     TBUL1     Exists      DNE     DNE
    #DNE : Does Not Exist (assumed since the description given to value field is not the same as in development client.)

  • New Value Field

    Dear Friends,
    We are planning to add new value field in current copa structure, for this I need know :
    1. As soon as we add new value field current operation conern gets deactivated ?
    2. If there is only one server for development and production then as soon as we create value filed in development, what would be the impcat in production client ?
    3. If server is same than transport of value field is required ?
    4. If required then opernation concern shuld be re-generate after transport ?
    5. If server is same then operating concern has to be regenerated in every client ? i.e. dev, testing, preprod, prod.
    and what ever impact would be in this case and also if we have different server for dev nad product. Kindly let me know about you expert comment.
    If there is any risk while regenerate operating concern, also please let me know.
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Hi,
    Activation of Operating concern has two aspects- Cross client and client specific...  for your questions.. if you have operating concern in the same server it is enough if you activate only client specific one..
    On each change of u r datastructure i.e changes to characteristics and value fields u need to generate.. till then it will be in Inactive mode..
    In terms of different systems generally u can transfer the active operating concern on addition of new value field.  However sometimes it may be required to activate specifically..

  • New Value Field Transport

    Experts,
    How shall I transport a new value field I have created. Also, I have assigned this value field to one of the operating concern...
    I understand it has to be transported via KE3i. After that needs to Select Operating Concern..after that I am confused what to select ??
    Please advice
    Amit

    Hi,
    If Value field is assigned to Data structure then you need to regenerate operating concern in KEAO. you cannot transport single value fields in COPA. All value fields which are assigned to Data structure are  picked during transport.

    Hello SAP Experts,
    I have created a new COPA value field. Now i would like to transport the same to Test (Acceptance or Quality) server, can you kindly let me know how can i proceed with this.

    Hi,
    Please read note 131664 regarding the use transaction KE3I to transport operating concern structures.
      In principle you can transport a new value field with a transport of an operating concern - part 'Structures: ABAP Repository objects' in transaction KE3I.
      You need to perform the following steps:
    1. Value field added in source system thro tcode KEA6
    2. Regenerate the environment of operating concern in source system (tcode KEA0)
    3. Transport using KE3I (select: ABAP repository objects)
    4. Regenerate the environment of operating concern in target system.
    Via transaction code KE3I you have the option to transport specific object classes.  If you select 'Structures: ABAP Repository objects' the following settings are transported:
    Cross-client objects in the SAP Repositiory
    - Tables and structures of the operating concern (CE1xxxx - CE8xxxx)
    - Domains and data elements for CO-PA characteristics
    - Master data tables for CO-PA characteristics (without data)
    Cross-client control tables
    - CO-PA field catalog
    - View directory
    Normally we advise customer to add a new value field/characteristic to
    DEV then transport to QAS and then transport to PRD. This ensures that
    the operating concerns in the 3 systems are in sync.

  • Issue in Creation of new Value Field in CO-PA

    Hi,
    I have a query in CO-PA Value Field Linking.
    In my Development Client,
    1. Created a New Value Field (No Transport Request Generated)
    2. Linked to the above to new Conditon type created in SD. (Tranport request was generated) i.e. in Flow of Actual Values->Transfer of Billing Documents->Assign Value Fields
    However then i try creating a new Value Field in my Production Client it throws a message 'You have no authorization to change Fields".
    Is this an issue with authorization or i need to transport the Value field too from Development to Production client.
    Please Advise.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Safi

    Thanks Phaneendra for the response.
    The creation of Value field did not create any tranportation request. Will this too be transported if i transport the Operating Concern.
    Please Advise.

  • New Value fields created in existing opr struc problem in transport request

    Hi,
    I have created new value fields in existing operating structure but system has now created any transport request for value field creation also for value field activation and later on operating concern generation on development environment.
    What is the other way of doing transporting value field (also activation of same) from Dev to QA?
    Regards,
    Sayujya

    Hi,
    Creation of new value field or characterisitics will not generate any Transport request. Goto transaction KE3I and create transport request.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • New Value Field in COPA

    Hi
    I have created new conditions in SD. These have been assigned to a value field which was never assigned to any conditions. Now this KE4I config is moved to test system and I found that values of these conditions are not appearing under new value field.
    Earlier these new conditions were assigned to old value field and those were coming correctly in billing doc. Still these conditions values are appearing under that old value field.
    Am I missing any step ? Please help
    Raj

    HI,
    Billing document value flow is as per KE4I mapping to value fields.
    There are some value flow analysis tools under CO-PA to check your settings with respect to value flows. Use transaction KE4ST (Simulate billing document transfer -> Value flow (<Ctrl +F7>) to check where things went wrong.
    Hope this helps.
