No COPA document for Cost of Goods Sold

I am using both account-based and costing-based COPA. All transactions from SD billing and FI are posted to COPA. However, document type WL (goods issue/delivery) does not create a profitability analysis document even if the profitability segment in the accounting document is filled up with values for the goods issued.
I have also assigned condition type VPRS as a value field in KE41.
What should I do to post the cost of goods sold to COPA?
Thanks,
Agnes

Hello Agnes,
As far as Account-based goes, you do not need value fields, as account-based uses GL accounts to post in CO-PA. So, there is no need to do mapping in KEI2.
KE4I and KEI2 should not have the same mapping.
It is important to keep in mind that Cost-based uses value fileds, and that COGS gets posted at time of billing (whereas FI gets the COGS at time of Goods Issue).
In Account-based, GL accounts are being used, and COGS is posted in both FI and CO-PA at the same time, that is at Goods Issue.
Hoping this helps!

CO - Cost of Goods Sold as a cost element?

Hi,
I've been creating primary cost elements for cost and revenues accounts.
I have already created cost elements for revenues, but I have some doubts about an account Cost of Goods Sold. Do I have to make cost element for it?
SD module is being implemented and revenues and cost of goods sold will be posted on SD orders.
CO-PA will not be used.
What is the best solution? Should I create cost elements for Cost of goods sold Account and if YES, which cost element type should I choose (1 or 11?)
Best wishes,
Karol

Thank you very much! Your answer solved my problem.
I have one more question about profit centers assignment to material master.
I have divided my profit center hierarchy in such a way - that I could easily prepare a COS profit and loss statement using them. Basically I have such profit centers like:
- Profit on sale of Goods
- Profit on sale of Materials
- Profit on sale of Service
- Costs of Production
- Other costs of sales
- Costs of Administration
As you can see I didn't reflect in this hierarchy an organization structure.
I was wondering which profit center could be used for Material master assignment.
I know that for sales order there has to be assigned one of:
- Profit on sale of Goods
- Profit on sale of Materials
- Profit on sale of Service
But I don't know whether it is OK to use them for materials master assignment. Can you suggest me some solution? I think that there should be different profit centers for goods and different profit centers for materials.

Cost of goods sold for trading goods

In my company Cost based copa is configured.
We do manufacture and sale the goods, also we do trading to goods. for manufacturing goods the standard cost estimation is released but for trading we are not doing std cost estimation. In SD pricing procedure VPRS condition is incorporated to get cost of good manufactured. Now i want the cost of goods sold for Trading material to flow to co-pa.
How do i do it?
Do i need to create and release the std cost estimate for trading material? or there is any way i can manage the cogs to flow to co-pa actual cost.
Regards
Sanjay Petkar

One way is certainly to create standard cost estimates for the purchased products. Depending on your costing view qty structure and MRP view procurement settings you can use either CK40N or costing without qty stucture.
If you want moving average, then you need to exclude the purrchased material type from looking for a cost estimate in COPA, and then you need to link VPRS to your cost of sales key figure in PA.

Account Based COPA Cost of goods sold and Revenue Split

Dear Experts,
We are using account based copa in a automobile company.
As per the requirement when a car is sold, depending on the customer request the car goes for a conversion. like adding Radio, Seat cover, etc
As per our setup we have different profit centers for vehicle and Parts(radio, seat cover etc) and in this case radio, seat cover, etc are the classes of the material vehicle(not separate material).
After the vehicle conversion there is a sales order raised which goes to profit center derived from vehicle material master.
As per the reporting requirement I need to spit the Cost of good sold and revenue by vehicle profit center and parts profit center for COPA reporting purpose
Is there any way to do this in standard SAP? Or I need an exit?
Appreciate your response and please let me know in case of any clarification.
Many thanks
Roy

For those who may need an answer to this, our solution was the following:
1)       Created new types for SO, SO Item, Sched. Line, Delivery, Delivery Item, Billing type
2)       Created new Pricing procedure
3)       Created new movement type Y61/Y62 modeled after 601/602
4)       Mapped Y61/Y62 to account modifier ZAX.
5)       Mapped GBB/ZAX to the new account.
Benefits, they now have better view of the orders going inter-company. It is flexible enough to adjusting prices for intercompany separate from standard orders, even though for now it is a straight copy of cost. They are able to remove the sales/use tax, from the calculations. They are able to plan with these orders separated out. Plus, this will standardize their process for inter-company.
Hope this helps someone.

Cost of Goods sold in cross company sales

Hi ,
We have a situation where we need to transfer goods from one company code and site ( Company A ) to another company code and site ( Company B )at the cost price of company A. We are creating a purchase order for this goods from Company B to Comapny A and in turn a sales order is issued for this from Company A.We pick up purchase price in PO from as the Per unit cost of comapny A.
The issue arises here about in the delivery from company A where the cost of goods sold in delivery is done based on the total stock value divided by the quantity sold as this is SAP method of calculation and this does not always match with the per unit cost. Currently we are passing this difference as discounts.
This is the best we could achieve where by we have been able to satisfy the business need of having no difference on the purchanse price of company B and sales price of company A.
My question is : Whether is there any more effecient method of achieving the desired result without having the difference which we are currently passing on as discounts ???
Would really appreciate any help.
Thanks and Regards,
Kartik Shah

Hi Raj/ Mahendro,
Thank you for sending me the reply. I will briefly explain you the our process. The purchase from external vendor is done in warehouse belonging to one company code. The purchase is done at Moving average price but normally for an article there are no price variations. Goods receipt in warehouse is done after adding freight and insurance onto the cost of article.This is the value at which we want to transfer to another site in anotehr company code.
Now the replneshiment requirement from the other site which belongs to different company code raises a PO on to the warehouse. This PO picks up the article price (KOMV-KBETR) as the MAP from the warehouse (MBEW-VERPR). However the field MBEW-SALK3 for the warehouse is not exactly the quantity multiplied by MAP.It is actually the VERPR field which has the value based on the field SALK3 divided by the stock quantity and rounded off to the two decimal places. There is slight variation here itself due to the rounding of the total stock value and then again rounding at the per unit price.( Both the above fields of MBEW)
What we are doing on the sales order is to pass the MBEW-VERPR as EDI1 and the sotck value for the quantity ordered ( ZDEI a new condition) by the site as MBEW-SALK3 divided by the total stock at that point and multiply by the quantity ordered. So due to rounding differences there is difference in the value of EDI1 and ZEDI . Again during the billing from warehouse this condition ZEDI picks up the stock value based on the quantity delivered.
Since there are minor differences due to the rounding of values between per unit price and the actual stock value this are being passed off as discount and the payables by the ordering site and receivables from the warehouse are the same. Cost of goods sold from warehouse is the actual stock value being sold which is the revenue for the warehouse.
Even if we use the standard SAP stock transport order with billing how could we ensure that we do not have even this minor differences.
Doing away with another document is not the requirement since we already have automated the process of sales order creation from the pruchase orders.
Do you think we can achieve our requirement using SAP standard process? Except for this rounding differences we are fine with the current process as well.
Do Look forward to your answer.

Kartik Shah

Now suggest me as how to come out from this situation?
If I need to do Validation ,request you to give your guidance as how to do it as I never done.
Thnaks in advance.

Substituting Cost of Goods Sold Account Profit Center

Hi
I am using Sales Order substitution to change the Profit Center according to Sales Org + Product Hierarchy + Customer Group + Acct Asst Grp. This perfectly replace the Profit Center in Sales Order. The Profit Center from Sales Order is perfectly flowing to Outbound Delivery.
While doing PGI, in accounting document, Cost of Goods Sold line item is not getting the profit center from outbound delivery. It post COGS line item with Material Master profit center. We want profit center of Cost of Goods Sold line item is same as Sales order / Outbound Delivery.
I checked SCN, everyone provided the solution of using FI Substitution to change the Profit Center of COGS line item.
Is it any other way it can be achieved? if FI Substitution is only the way, can anyone provide the sample code, so that it can be developed fast.
Thanks

Compare with my cost of goods sold account to my sales revenue account

Hi,
i want to compare with my cost of goods sold account to my sales revenue account.
After PGI my COGS a/c will be debited INVENTORY a/c will be credited so after sales my SALES a/c credit & customer a/c debit . I want to see what is the difference value of COGS a/c with respective billing Sales A/C
No doudt we can see in Profit of margin in billing doc. It is quite impossible to see all document in respective wise. Please give a solution for which i can know what is profit of margin with comparing values in both of Account.
Thank's
Abhay

Hi,
This is possible through CO-PA report. You can get the result per sales order.
Also the same can be achieved in FI as follows:
Outbound delivery document thr" VL01N is captured in "Reference field" of FI doc (BKPF-XBLNR) generated through delivery.
If the settings are done by SD person to capture the outbound delivery no. in "Reference field" of FI doc generated through Billing document (VF01), then there will be a common field to compare the documents in both accounts.
In transaction FAGLL03, select the account COGS & Sales revenue account. Once the report displays, sort or take sub total on this common field "Reference".
This will give you difference between COGS & Sales revenue per document.
Hope this resolves your query.

Ashutosh

How to post cost of goods sold to io per functional area and account determ

1. We create a sales order with reference to a revenue IO with functional area ABC01.
2. We create a delivery document on the sales order and goods issue XYZ.
3. We expect the cost of goods sold for the coal to hit an existing IO with functional area ABC02 based on account determination for XYZ.
4. Instead we see both the revenue and the COGS hitting the revenue IO on the Sales roder.
5. For now, the accountants responsible for those companies have been making journal entries all along to correct the postings.
Please advise what needs to be done for step 3 to happen so that the extra step 5 need not be done.
(IO - internal order)
Thanks,
Venkat

What is the IO you have assigned in the Sales Order please?
Just check the Sales Order - Account assignement, so that you can able to change if there is a different IO.
System won't pick up IO automayically until unless you secify in Sales order to done OKB9 settings.
Chek the above
Thanks

Posting of Commission Exp to calculate the Cost of Goods Sold

Hi Team,
I do work in an automobile manufacturing organization and is new to SAP FI module. I have a business requirement which I need to fulfill; I would appreciate if all you gurus help me with finding the solution.
Business Scenario: at present, we are posting the following entries to record the commission we paid to dealers for selling vehicles.
Commission Exp (DR)
Customer (CR)
Customer (DR)
Dealer (CR)
With these entries we are not been able to track the commission based on vehicle variants i.e. Toyota GLI, XLI etc.
New Requirement:
To calculate the Cost of Goods Sold for a variant, I need to track the commission expense based on vehicleu2019s variants. Please help me in finding the solution.
Thanks

Thanks for quick response.
Let me give little more details of type of commission entries we have
1) Normal Commission - Fixed commission variant wise and is derived from SD.
2) Additional Commission - No predefined formula, this is totally based on top management discretion. Management decides how much would be paid to a particular dealer.
3) Sliding Commission deduction - Deduction of certain amount from commission on late payments.
4) Additional Sliding Commission - Payment of additional commission based on early payment terms.
Currently, FI department is calculating all these figures on Excel sheets and then post a JV for each type of above mentioned commission.
How can I configure the system to calculate these amounts automatically without involving Excel Sheet help?
and how to post these amounts variant wise along with dealers and customers.

Cost of Goods Sold - Cost Element asking Cost Object

Dear All,
We have defined a G/L account :500000 (Cost of Goods Sold - Field Status Group:G030).
Normally we should not create it as a cost element,but when CRM consultant does a transaction ,system asks that GL account :500000 not created as a cost element,Hence that time I have created as a cost element.
Now every time ,system is asking for cost object for this cost element.
As you all know that ,we can maintain in OKB9,but in our scenario,we have more than 3500 Cost Centers,which is not possible.
Can anybody share as how to resolve this issue?
Regards
Subbu
