PCA Assessment/ Distribution cycles data to FI-SL

Hi,
Can anyone advise if it is possible to transfer PCA data to FI-SL - Special Purpose Ledger?
Specifically I am looking for transferring PCA Assessment and Distribution cycles data to FI-SL and we are in 4.6C.
Thanks and regards,
Leelendra

I just got SAP note 155884 that gives information on the issue. Thanks.

Difference between Costing Sheet and Assessment & Distribution Cycle.

Hello Co Experts
I need to understand the exact difference bewteen Costing sheet and Assessment dictribution cycles and their use for applying overhead cost to cost object especially Project WBS. Kind request to illustrate the preference of these two functionalityover each other with respect to business scenarios.
Best Regards

Hi Deshpande,
The purpose of both are completely different.
Assessment or Distribution cycles are used to transfer cost from the service/utility cost centers to the Production cost centers.
Where as Costing sheet is a tool where you configure how system should calculate Production, Material ,Administration & Selling&Distribution in Product costing.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,

Run PCA Assessment Cycle under New GL

I'm on ECC6.0, and I'm trying to run PCA assessment cycle using FAGLGA15, I've created the PCA assessment cycle. But I got the warning message saying " no valid sender found", I checked table FAGLFLEXA, the sender profit center has values which I posted through FB50 , anybody has encountered the same issue?
please advise.

Hi,
In NewGL, all actual data is saved under version '1' by system design. You can see this in FAGLFLEXT-RVERS.

Assessment and Distribution Cycles

Hi
We are yet to carry forward the GL account balances (both balance sheet and PL) from 2008 to 2009 in FI module.
Can we run the assessment and the distribution cycles for the month of January without carrying the GL account balances to 2009? OR do we need to carry the GL account balances first to run the two cycles
Thanks

Hi Trishan,
It's not a good idea to run distibution and assessment before carrying forward GL balances. You can check the documentation in help.sap.com. Please check note 110249. This note gives you additional advantage in balance carry forward and distribution. For FI-SL, EC-PCA and FI-GL, the same balance carry forward program is used.

How create a 'set' of accounts (PCA assessment cycle (3ke1)

Guys hi,
I need to build a PCA assessment cycle between profit centers. (3Ke1)
The equivalent of cost element group in CCA cycle (KSU3) is apparently a 'set' in PCA, which I imagine is a group of FI accounts.
Do you know how create those sets? (couldn't find anything of the sort in the FI account master data !?)
Thanks for your time

Assessment Cycles data

Hi,
Our configurator are customising the data in the 'Change actual distribution cycle for joint venture' segments. For every segment / distribution cycle it prompting the customizing change request. we want to avoid creating customizing request for every segment and treat this as master data.
Is there a table or transaction where it can disable from creating a transport?
how change the Assessment Cycles not be a transportable?
Appreciate any help
Thanks,
Sunil

Please contact your basis team/ consultant. They wpould be able to help you out in this matter.

Viewing original cost in PCA after the Distribution cycle run in CCA

Hi,
We have allocated costs from common cost centers to product cost centers using Distribution Cycles in Cost Center Accounting (CCA). If we want to only view the original costs before distribution in a Cost center report, we use the filter & exclude distributed costs based on type of Business Transaction.
We have not executed any cycles in Profit Center Accounting (PCA). The distributed costs automatically hit the new profit centers because of assignment in the cost center master data. Now if we want to see the original costs before distribution in a Profit center report KE5Z, what filter should we use? There is no Business Transaction as a parameter to filter. Even reord type does not work since the distribution has been done in CCA.
Regards,
Sangeeta

Hi,
After distribution of the cost from service costcenter to production costcenter,The PCA will hit automatically because of the assignment of profitcenter in the cost center master.
When you see the CCA report the system will display the cost based on the costelement,same as for the Profitcenter also.
So make the filter crieteria in Cost element & find out the distribution cost in profitcenter & costcenter,

Raj

Tables for amount of document against assessment cycle & distribution cycle

Assessment Cycle VS Distribution Cycle

Hello Frds,
I am having tough time to know difference between Assessment Cycle VS Distribution Cycle.
1) Steps to Define these Cycles
2) Simple Scenarios would be great help
I understand that Distribution is used to allocate Primary costs and Assessment is used to allocate Primary and secondary costs.
Appreciate your help!
Jag

Hi,
The main difference between Assessment cycle and Distribution cycle is - in case of Assessment we use secondary cost element.
An example to highlight the difference is as under:
Common Costs incurred for example for Factory Cafeteria are booked to Cost Center - Z using primary cost element 400100 (Amount $ 100). During period end closing the costs are be allocated to Cost Centers A, B and C in the ratio of 50%, 20% and 30% respectively.
Distribution:
Sender Rule: Posted Amounts
Sender Cost Center - Z
Sender Cost Element - 400100
Receiver Cost Centers are A, B and C
In Receiving Tracing factor - we specify the percentages for each cost center.
When distribution cycle is executed. Cost Center Z will be credited by $ 100 and Cost Center A, B and C will be debited with $50, $20 and $30. All the postings will be made using the primary cost element 400100.
Assessment:
<b>Assessment Cost Element: 600100</b>.
Sender Rule: Posted Amounts
Sender Cost Center - Z
Sender Cost Element - 400100
Receiver Cost Centers are A, B and C
In Receiving Tracing factor - we specify the percentages for each cost center.
When assessment cycle is executed. Cost Center Z will be credited by $ 100 and Cost Center A, B and C will be debited with $50, $20 and $30.
In Assessment all the postings will be made using Assessment Cost Element - which is secondary cost element.
The advantage of Assessment is the original postings made to the primary cost element are retained.
In this example, if we execute a report for Cost Center Z for Cost Element 400100, we can still display the values. If we execute the report for cost element 400100 and 600100 together, the value will be zero.
Hope this clarifies.
Thanks
Murali.

Distribution cycle error in PCA

Hi All,
I have an issue.
Through user defined layout, the Statistical key figures have been
updated into the Profit Center Accounting.
Then when the Distribution Cycle is run on the basis of Statistical Key
Figures, it is not happening giving an error saying the system could
not find the receivers. Kindly give necessary
inputs so that I can solve this problem.
Solution will be rewarded.
Regards,
Karthick S

check stastical key creation. when you create stastical key figure if you have given fixed value there is no need to post document every month. if variable key figure is given post document every month. check for this

Unable to create the Distribution cycle with WBS Element as Receiver

Dear SAP Friends,
I am creating the Distribution cycle in KSV1, Sender is Cost center and Receiver is WBS element.
Once i select Receiving tracing factor Tab i am getting the error like :
Message :
No valid receiver entries exist
Message no. GA015
Diagnosis
You have established a group of receivers by entering either intervals or groups in the selection criteria. However, in the master data check, the SAP System cound not find any valid receivers in your selected group.
System Response
The single value entry screen is not shown.
Procedure
Check your entries for the selection criteria. It is possible that the master data is locked. You can get more info be choosing "Error log...".
Please let me know how we need to create the Assesment cycle for WBS elements as receivers and Cost centre as Sender.
Let me know in this Regard ASAP..
Regards,
Anand

We are encountering a simiilar situation related to Cost Center Assessements to a Work Order (Order Category 30) I'm thinking the promble is related to a similar situation that you had with a WBS.
Thanks,

Assessment & Distribution

Hi,
What is the meaning and difference between Assessment & Distribution.
Its Urgent.
Thanks in Advance
Yours
S.VINAYA KUMAR

hi vinay,
3 Differences between Assessment & Distribution:-
a. Performance of System - Assessment takes lesser time.
b. Visibility of Sender - In assessment, visibility is lost.
c. Primary Cost Elements - Distribution is used only for Primary Cost Elements, whereas Assessment is used for Primary & Secondary Cost elements.
Activity Types & Statistical Key Figures can be related to as base in Assessment/Distribution between senders and receivers.
Assesment & Distribution
Bouth of them are used to transfer the cost form one cost center/object to another.
Assesment
Using of this you can transfer the cost form one cost center/object to another by Secondary Cost Element.
Steps
1. Goto KSU1
2. In the first step create cycle and date
3. in the second step give text
4. in third step give segment and way of assessment and assessment cost element under that give from which cost center and from which primary cost element you want to transfer the cost under give to which cost centers you want to transfer the cost.
5. mention your versa
6. in fourth step give amount are %
7. save all
8. now go to KSU5 and exquet it
Distribution
Using of this you can transfer the cost from one cost center/object to another by Primary Cost Element.
Steps
9. Goto KSV1
10. In the first step create cycle and date
11. in the second step give text
12. in third step give segment and way of assessment under that give from which cost center and from which primary cost element you want to transfer the cost under give to which cost centers you want to transfer the cost.
13. in fourth step give amount are %
14. save all
15. now go to KSV5 and exquit it
The Basic difference between an Assessment and Distribution is:
1.Assessment is done for Secondary Cost elements and Distribution is done for Primary Cost elements.
2.When you do a Assessment it creates a seperate Line Item, where as Distribution does not create a seperate Line Item. For Exp: when a Cost say salaries is transferred from X to y,when doing an Assessment, it creates a seperate Line Item in the salaries a/c of Y clearly showing the amount transferred from X, but in case of distribution, it just merges the expenses.
3.KSV5 is used for Cost Center Distribution and KSU5 for Assessment Cycle. 4KE2 is for Distribution Cycle for Profit Center and 3KE1 is for Assessment Cycle.
Hope this will give you a clear picture.

Distribution Cycle error: "No Senders have been found"

Hello,
I have created a distribution cycle in FAGLGA31 with three segments with the following criteria,
Sender:
Account, Profit Centre C postings and Functional Area YB20
Receiver:
function area YB20, profit center A: 80%
functional area YB20, profit center B 20%
Likewise I have the other 2 segments with different % of distribution.
But when I am trying to execute the cycle in FAGLGA35, i am getting the error message that "no sender has been found". Please find below the details of the error message. I have checked the cycle completely and all the relevant master data exists. Also transactional data relating to document type SA also exists in the system.
Cycle 0L2050, start date 20110101, does not include any senders.
Message no. GA749
Diagnosis
No senders were found for cycle 0L2050, starting date 20110101.
System Response
It is no longer possible to create receivers and assign senders for the segment.
Procedure
Check the definition of the cycle in the maintenance transaction for Actual Distribution: General Ledger. No valid sender cost centers could be found to match your selection.
If you use the sender rules "Posted amounts" or "Posted quantities", check whether records exist in the database for the criteria you entered (cost element, version...)
During indirect activity allocation with the sender rule "posted quantities", you should also note that only the difference between the planned/posted activity allocation and the scheduled activity quantity is allocated. If you entered activity types as sender, you should at this point also check the activity type category. For those quantities posted with an activity type of category 1 (manual entry, manual allocation) no indirect activity allocation is possible.
1. If this is an allocation in the FI/FI-SL area, the problem could also be due to the inheritance logic for FI-SL totals tables, whose "Inheritance of sender based on the receiver" indicator is activated in the "Partner object update" view (T811U-INHERSRC). These are tables that were installed before Release 4.6A.
Use transaction GCA8 to check this, and see the section on:
Inheritance Logic for Allocations
then correct the affected cycle, if required.
Request help on how to correct this.

Dear Latha,
the most common reason for error message GA749 in NewGL allocation is
that wrong "version" is specified in cycle header. Actual data in NewGL
is stored with version 001 (RVERS), so please make sure this value is
specified on cycle header, instead of 000, for example.
I hope this can help.

Distribution cycle for cost centers

Hi,
I have created a distribution cycle for cost centers using SKF. I have even created document using KB31N. based on this document the sender should have some amount after executing the distribution cycle, but here the sender value is completely distributed to recievers leading to incorrect results.
Can any one help me solve this?
Thanks,
Sravanthi

Hello
Pls check the rule once again.
You use allocation rules to determine how amounts and quantities are allocated between sender objects (sender values) and receiver objects (receiver tracing factor). The rules for the allocation types are made up of sender and receiver rules.
Sender rules
Determination of the sender values for the distribution/assessment can occur according to the following rules:
Posted amounts
Fixed amounts
Fixed rates
Receiver rules
Determination of the sender values for the distribution/assessment can occur according to the following rules:
Variable portions
Fixed amounts
Fixed percentages
Fixed portions
Reg
assign points if useful

Functional Area derivation as obligatory checkbox in Cost Center distribution cycle?

Dear All,
We are using Cost of Sales accounting with FI-CO online integration. Derivation of Functional Area for Cost Center assessment cycles is an obligatory indicator. Nevertheless I may create Cos Center distribution cycles without this option (what affects FI-CO online integration). Can anybody explain a system logic behind it?
Can I set Functional Area derivation as an obligatory checkbox for Cost Center distribution cycles too?
Bartlomiej Seidel

Hi,
I have searched for any useful note, but without result so far. The point is that any new distribution or assessment cycle (cost centers) in our company must work with Functional Area derivation (than FI-CO online integration works correctly). With our current SAP setup I must select this indicator for every assessment cycle - it is obligatory. But is not obligatory for distribution cycles - and I don't know why?
I would like to protect everybody from crating distribution cycles without FA derivation indicator (like it works now for assessment cycles). How may I do it?
Bart
