Operation account assignment

Hi experts,
I have a technical system represented as function location and its high value components as equipment's under it. I want to capture maint costs for each equipment by using single order(created order on function location and included equipments in operations). I have activated OAA and included equipment's in operations, settlement rule for each operation is getting created based on equipment maintained in it but costs are passed to main header reference object i.e. function location.
My queries are 1. Is passing cost to equipment maintained in operation instead of order header is not possible in operation account assignment.
2. Is there standard solution to get costs for each equipment by using single maintenance order without much work around.
Regards, Srinivas

Hi All ,
Thanks for reply previously i had developed reports to solve above problem. Though I expected SAP will include this in OAA functionality.
when we were working in EHP 3 pack we had few problems tracking inspection rounds and minor routine maintenance on equipments , the inspection rounds/ inspection planning functionality in EHP4 address this problem very clearly by providing option to include equipment's in tasklist hope SAP will bring option to send cost to equipment in operation in future.

Srinivas

Reporting on Operation Level costing / Operational Account assignment data

Hi folks,
Please can anyone here with experience in dealing with extracting Operation Level costing (OLC) / Operational Account assignment (OAA) data for Maintenance Orders share their experience.
We have done some basic checking around this and Account assignment at activity level has been enabled. Been trying to use 0PM_OM_OPA_2 extractor to get this Operational Account assignment data but no luck.
Perhaps PM Consultants familiar with OLC/OAA solution can help answer this. What are the tables to look at for getting to this Operational Account assignment data?
Any clues will be appreciated.Thanks for your help!

Better cost tracking WBS or OAA(Operation Account assignment)

hi Experts,
One of my Client want to know whether,
. They are a big SAP shop wants to track costs of projects at WBS level. They are implementing SAP Primavera . Some consulting companies have suggested SAP Project Systems but they has doubts of integration with MM orders and ability to automate. Also they use powerplant as there asset management system and whichever solution they go with should integrate with powerplant. Do we have expertise to suggest a solution?
Actually I want to know if anyone can give some comparative analysisis, WBS tracking cost is better or OAA level tracking cost better ?
Please advise.

Revoked SES with account assignment distributed by quantity cannot be modified or deleted

Hi All
I have users who are posting service entry sheet with the account assignment distributed
on a quantity basis across multiple maintenance orders. The acceptance works perfectly but we are having problems if a correction or cancellation is required.
The service acceptance can be revoked successfully but afterwards it is not possible to change the service quantity or to delete the service entry sheet. When we try we receive an ABAP runtime error:
Runtime Errors         COMPUTE_BCD_OVERFLOW
Exception              CX_SY_ARITHMETIC_OVERFLOW
Date and Time          08.07.2014 14:25:12
Short text
     Overflow during the arithmetical operation (type P) in program
What happened?
     Error in the ABAP Application Program
     The current ABAP program "CL_EX_MMSRV_ACC_DIST_SAP======CP" had to be
      terminated because it has
     come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
What can you do?
     Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
     To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
     administrator.
     Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
     at and manage termination messages, and you can also
     keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
     An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
     The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_ARITHMETIC_OVERFLOW', was not
      caught in
     procedure "IF_EX_MMSRV_ACC_DIST_SAP~DISTRIBUTE_ACC_ASSIGNMENTS" "(METHOD)", nor
      was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
     Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
     exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
     The reason for the exception is:
     An overflow was discovered in an ongoing arithmetical operation with
     operands of type P. Possible causes are:
     1. The result field of type P is too small for the result.
     2. The result or a intermediate result has more than 31 decimal places.
This problem does not occur if I run the same scenario any of the following variations so I'm confident the problem is related to the account assignment distribution by quantity:
Single account assignment
Distributed account assignment via percentage
No service acceptance/revoke has been posted
There are ways to get around the problem but I'm trying to find a SAP Note that may be relevant. I haven't had any luck yet. Does this problem ring a bell with anybody who might be able to point me towards an appropriate note?
Thanks
Robyn

Enter a true account assignment object with revenues while reversing FB08

Hi All
When I am reversing the document through FB08 I am getting the warning messege "Enter a true account assignment object with revenues"
Message no. KI166
Diagnosis
You made an account assignment for 31211100, a revenue element, in controlling area 1000 to a cost center or profit center.
System Response
Cost centers and profit centers can carry revenues in the SAP system as statistics only. To ensure reconciliation between FI and CO for revenue element 31211100, a CO account assignment object must record the revenues as a real value. This object type is used for updating to the reconciliation ledger.
In principle, it is possible for the SAP system to automatically derive this CO account assignment object, the reconciliation object. However, all postings made in CO for costing-based Profitability Analysis are logged in the reconciliation ledger under "reconciliation object". In this manner, the reconciliation ledger identifies the exact values flowing into the operating profit. If you post reconciliation objects during revenue postings to cost centers or profit centers, you must do so while keeping the interpretation of the reconciliation ledger reports in mind. The sums of revenue postings to profitability segments, cost centers, and profit centers cannot be broken down further.
Procedure
To avoid posting to reconciliation objects, make account assignments to a real CO account assignment object.
If you want to post to reconciliation objects, you can change this message to a warning or a note for future users, or deactivate the message entirely. Use the Implementation Guide under "Controlling: General" and choose Change message control. Enter area KI and message number 166. If you do not enter an individual user here, the change is valid for all users.
It is not allowing me to reverse the document already posted.
Please guide
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Do you have this cost element maintained in OKB9 with a reference to an internal order or profitability segment? If yes, please look at the note 373823.

No entry for account key 1002 in HRA transaction key in Account assignment

Dear sap-gurus,
the following problem occured. When posting a document (s-modelling), system displayed an error that there is no entry for account key 1002 in HRA transcation key in SPRO Account assignment.
The document's size is very big, it considers many lime items in it. May be this happened because of this?
In F1 for SPRO Account assignment we have:
In this step, you assign a document split account to an account key. This is a clearing acount (Transaction HRA) in Accounting.
For various reasons, payroll data that is formatted for posting to accounting must be split into several documents per posting run. In Human Resources (HR), key 1001 is used for the breakdown of documents. A breakdown occurs if:
There are several company codes
There are different posting dates
There are postings to G/L accounts, customer accounts, vendor accounts
This is specified in the step Create Posting Variants (for example, document breakdown for expenses and payables)
The document split account that is stored under the key 1001 is also used to clear the balance within a G/L account document for each business area.
An additional split may be required depending on the size of the document in Financial Accounting. In this case, the clearing account specified under account key 1002 in transaction HRA, is used as the document split account.
Further notes
To avoid problems in current operations, it is advisable to set up a document split account even if a document breakdown is not necessary. In this way, you can avoid having to set up the system at short notice if changes are made to the settings or if there is an increased number of postings, or if cross-company code transactions occur.
We have an entry 1001 and a clearing account for postings between several company codes. What are we supposed to do? How to avoid this error and post the documents to FI? Please, help!
Best regards,
Eldar

Hello,
How did you resolve this issue? Any inputs anyone.

Account assignment and G/L account

Hi
Im a SAP-BW Consultant. I need some information in MM.
1) what is account assignment ..why it is required ...and how it is link to FI.I need some information regading account assignment .
2) what is G/L account...why it is required and how can it link to FI.
Pls help me
kumar

Dear Kumar,
According to the document principle. a document must be generated and stored in the system for every transaction/event that causes a change in stock.
When posting a goods movement in the SAP System, the following documents are created:
Material document
In the Inventory Management system, when a goods movement is posted, a material document is generated that serves as proof of the movement and as a source of information for any applications that follow.
A material document consists of a header and at least one item. The header contains general data about the movement (for example, its date). Each item describes one movement.
Accounting document
If the movement is relevant for Financial Accounting (that is, if it leads to an update of the G/L accounts), an accounting document is created parallel to the material document.
In some cases, several accounting documents are created for a single material document. This might be the case, for example, if you have two material document items with different plants that belong to different company codes.
The G/L accounts involved in a goods movement are updated through an automatic account assignment.
For goods receipts for purchase orders, goods movements for stock transport orders and consignment withdrawals, business partners may have different local currencies. Therefore, as well as the local currency, the accounting document must also contain another currency for processing and postings. For this purpose, accounting documents created as a result of these goods movements will automatically be managed in the local currency and in the document currency. You can switch between both currencies by choosing Settings -> Currency display.

General Ledger Accounting:
The central task of G/L accounting is to provide a comprehensive picture for external accounting and accounts. Recording all business transactions (primary postings as well as settlements from internal accounting) in a software system that is fully integrated with all the other operational areas of a company ensures that the accounting data is always complete and accurate.
The SAP FI General Ledger has the following features:
Free choice of level: corporate group or company
Automatic and simultaneous posting of all sub-ledger items in the appropriate general ledger accounts (reconciliation accounts)
Simultaneous updating of general ledger and cost accounting areas
Real-time evaluation of and reporting on current accounting data, in the form of account displays, financial statements with different financial statement versions and additional analyses.
Essentially, the general ledger serves as a complete record of all business transactions. It is the centralized, up-to-date reference for the rendering of accounts. Actual individual transactions can be checked at any time in realtime processing by displaying the original documents, line items, and transaction figures at various levels such as:
Account information
Journals
Totals/transaction figures
Balance sheet/profit and loss evaluations
Account postings form an integrated part of SAP accounting. All transactions entered in the sub ledger accounts end up as general ledger postings in SAP. Thus, a posting to sub ledger account say account receivable, account payable will have an effect on the general ledger. As a rule, any accounting transaction, which affects the general ledger invariably results in a GL account posting.
But how does SAP recognize the correct GL account to be posted based on the sub ledger transaction entry. SAP recognized every transaction or entry in the sub ledger as a line item. Having said that, each line item has a unique account number, amount, and posting key. SAP FIGL uses this information in identifying the account to be posted. Similar to account postings, documents created in other modules such as production planning, sales & distribution, materials management, controlling, also get posted if they affect the general ledger i.e. SAP GL. A user in SAP does not even have to manually post a document / line item. SAP can be configured for automatic posting though an option is available for manual posting as well.

I dont understand when I am giving PC as CO Object assignment which is I think true assignment for revenue collecting over. Still system showing this warning message. I know this can be supressed by just pressing ENTER and I can save. By posting in this way document even , I am not able to draw any report based on PC, neither KE5Z or F.01. All says No data found.
What configuration piece I am missing ? Can any expert guide ?
Regards,
Revati Joshi.

Just go to OKB9 and check the Cost Element, whether any default cost center or Profitability segment have been been assigned or
not.
If not, check if the Cost element is Revenue related, assign Profitability analisys. If not, check with settings of PCA.
You shoukd never assign PC to a cost element ntil unless it is a Revenue element.
Hope it helps
Thanks

Funded Program in ME21N with Account Assignment Category equal BLANK

Hi
I am doing one ME21N (create purchase order) with Account Assignment Category equal BLANK " ". In u201Caccount assignmentu201D the system only allow to fill the fields u201Cfunds centeru201D, and the u201Ccommitment itemu201D but as the purchase is to INVESTMENT I need to fill the field FUNDED PROGRAM too. I haven´t internal order (CO) and project (wbs element) to do one derivation in this point of process (these objects will be create during the business process). I have already tried to use the fields of FMDERIVE´s trace but unfortunately any combination help me to define the Funded Program.
thanks,
Claudio

Hi Claudio,
I want also to share with you some information about Funded Programs.
Funded programs are used mainly as FM account assignment elements, in the same way as funds, funds centers, commitment items, and functional areas are. Budget can be entered for them and monitored in them.
You can enter the funded program directly in budgeting, but when you are using the funded program in integrated postings, it is not possible to enter the funded program directly. This is the system design.
The funded program uses much of the functionality of the Business Data Toolset (BDT). If you want to customize the funded program master data, you should be familiar with the BDT.
The use of funded program as part of FM account assignment for budgeting, can cause performance issues (posting and reports).
SAP recommends that:
a. Funded Program must be derived using rules specified in the FM derivation tool (FMDERIVE);
b. While you can use any operative element as the source for deriving funded programs, we strongly recommend that you use only WBS elements, orders, or networks.
For additional information, check SAP help in the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/74/35160eea86034aa4166151005e1a93/frameset.htm

MB01 GR error Enter only one true account assignment KI249

Hi Experts,
We are getting an error message as "Enter only one true account assignment KI 249" in MB01 transaction while doing goods receipt for a subcontracting PO. Subcontracting PO is created from a maintanence order for external operation. Account assignment of PO is with maintanence order. Account assignment F and item category L. Maintanence order inturn is reference to a sales order. We are into ECC 6 DIMP system. Same scenario is working fine in ECC 5 system and this issue is appearing in upgrade. Please provide your inputs for this problem.
Thanks

Invalid account assignment category for Service order

Hi Experts,
We upgrade in ECC. I suppose this topic is linked to this one. See more detail below.
On a repairing flow, central alerts by a complaint from customer. Operator creates a Repair request, next receive the broken machine (VRRE + VL02N). A inspection lot is automatically generated. When operator takes Usage decision, customizing allow to create a Service order according to the right UD code.
My issue is on this place. When operator take the usage decision, SAP displays the error message "Invalid account assignment category".
Data in standard customizing are missing in "Define account assignment cat. and document type for purchase requisitions". Only "Acct. Assgmnt Cat. Gen." is filled with "F" value (Order). 3 other are blank. If I tryed to save, SAP rejected and asked for values.
If I check in SAP help, SAP indicates that we don't have to change these values if new types of categorie are not customized. Also SAP detailled the right values. What is strange is that the flow is running without these values in production. Test in development environnement block the flow and the creation of the Service order.
Have you already heard some strange behavior like this one ?
Moreover if you have more detail on the impact on this customizing, I'm very interesting, and also the good way to solve this issue will be great.
Thanks a lot for your precious help.

An error occurred in system during account assignment RFC way

Hello Partners.
I created a function ( FM ) type RFC and this FM call CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN .
The function creates Service Reques 'BUS2000223'.
When I test the function locally, All is ok.
But when the function is called from SAP IS-U, I have a problem
The operation is created but with an error:
An error occurred in system XXXXX during account assignment
Errors occurred when assigning an account assignment object to a business transaction
CRM_ORDER_MISC 060
CRM_OFI 002
I don´t have standard integration with the service request with sap IS-U.
Regards.
Roberto

Hi Manoj
You need to assign the Controlling object type and as per the standard there are 3 controlling object types those are,
1) Single object Controlling --> The service order replicated to ECC creates a Internal order and finally cost and revenues are posted or settled in the cost center
2) Mass Object Controlling --> The cost and revenues of the service order are directly posted to CO-PA(Cost & Profitability Analysis)
3) No Controlling
Based on the business requirements you need to define the Controlling obejct,you will find the IMG customization path in ECC as follows,
IMG>Integration with other mySAP components>CRM>Settings for Service Processing>Controlling integration-->Establish Controlling type, Controlling scenario & Controlling level.
I hope this helps.
Thanks

Account assignment for clearing lines

Hello,
My client business need the derivation tool to overwrite the commitment item for the clearing account lines (operation WRX) instead of being inherited from the predecessor PO.
Therefore, as specified in sap note 923672, I activated the predelivered parameter FLG_FMDERIVE_FORCE in table FM01X. Unfortunately the results were not as I expected. Although it shows in the derivation trace that the commitment item is overwritten for the clearing account, this does not match with the FI doc.
Have anyone ever used this feature? Do anyone know why this is happening?
Best regards,
Bernardo

Hello Bernardo,
Same problem has been reported in the OSS, (probably by you?).
Depending on the release and support package customers are working on, these notes should solve the problem, some of them are also for overwriting PO account assignment in Service Entry Sheets:
977363 New manual FM account assignment incorrectly overwritten --> (specially this one)
1041730 FM Account Assignments objects are not correctly determined
1077529 RFFMCHAT incorrectly calls FMDERIVE instead of reassignment
1146677 Service Entry Sheet FM account assignment inherited from PO
Kind regards,
