POC RA key to calculate reserves

Dear all,
I have introduced the POC method ( RA type E with profit indicator Q) for projects and all my RA/settlement is working fine. All excess costs/billings will be calculated and posted to FI.
Now I want to create at the same time warranty costs, which should not be involved in the calculation of the POC progress. But pending of the POC progress SAP should post a warranty reserve by the formula: planned waranty costs* POC progress = actual warranty reserve. Is this possible???
Therefor I have created an extra line ID for waranty, assigned a cost element in OKG5 for planning and in KKA2 I get now a extra line in the planned data for warranty costs. perfect. I created the cost elements in OKG4 with category P - Costs of Complaints and Commissions for reserves and COS.
I have created the FI accounts in OKG8 with RA category with RUCR. - But still the RA does not give me actual reserves. It is always 0. Did I miss anything? What is wrong on my setup?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi sridhar,
I am putting very short you need read lot of help for more information.
1 okg1 create new key
2 okg2 version 0 (will be there) turn extended control on and technical cost elements give a single cost element for the fields cost element category 31 RA. tick the indicator transfer to financial accounting.
3 maintain the combination Ra version and Ra key and select the 03 method cost based poc method.
4 maintain line id for costs, revenues
5 in okg5 assign all the cost elements to line id costs,
revenue elements to the line id revenues
6 in okg4 assign the cost line id to k and revenue line id to revenue category.
update the line id to cost elements
7 define the posting rules for cosr ans wipr rucr.
please include the cost element in your allocation structure or else it will throw you a error at the time of settlement.
I tried put it very simple, But it requires lot of reading the sap help to understand in detail.
Thanking you

MB21 - Reservation in reference to a BOM - Special procurement key

Hello,
I want to create a manual material reservation against a WBS element in reference to a BOM which uses a special procurement key at component level. This special procurement 70 uses the following configuration points:
- Procurement type: External procurement
- Withdrawn alternate plant indicator: checked
- Issuing plant: 0410
When creating the reservation with MB21, the BOM referenced is created in plant 0100. I was expecting component reservations created from plant 0410 but not. All reservations created are from plant 0100. Any ideas why the special procurement key is NOT taken into account in this scenario using MB21?
On the other hand, I successfully tested this procurement key within a PM order; all component reservations created are from plant 0410, as expected.
Thanks for your help.
Christian

Hi Christian,
Happy to see your posting. Good that your work is going ahead.
But, I think your initial post was not checking "How to..." but was "Why it is not possible in manual MB21 when possible with PM order linked scenario?". Right? For "How to.." the SAP feedback is OK to make use of user exit which one can anyway decide (without SAP involvement) to carry out his/her work.
May I know specific--Has SAP suggested a SAP Note wherein use of User Exit is recommended? or a simple reply to your SOS message as a recommended option?
The reason behind making this point is How it can be considered as standard behaviour when on one side - BOM explosion wrt special proc key and creating reservation/requisition through PM order scenario goes successful and on the other hand not possible through manual MB21?
Bye..

Results Analysis splitting POCS (Revenue Surplus)

I am not able to split POCS between two different GL Accounts. I am able to do it with VLRV with two different Line ID's; but can't do it with POCS.
On OKG2 Revenue surplus (POCS) is defined with cost element 982133.
On OKG4 I split revenue by the following
COArea Vsn RAKEY (RVD) (E) 982284    " Revenue Domestic
COArea Vsn RAKEY (RVI) (E) 982285     " Revenue International
On OKG5 I define the split of revenue accounts to RVD & RVI.
Account 311*** = RVD
Account 315*** = RVI
On OKG8 I am able to split VLRV to different accounts using cost element 982284 & 982285. I do not know how to define a split of POCS because it used the cost element 982133 from OKG2 and was not defined by my split in OKG4.
My KKAI / KO88 Settlement works to split VLRV, but POCS goes to the same account.
How can I split POCS value between two different accounts based on if the revenue was international or domestic (same as my split I used for VLRV)?

Hi,
RA categories POCS (Revenue surplus) is updated with an RA technical cost element customized in OKG2, not that from OKG4. As a result, when you specify in OKG8 a cost element different from that in OKG2, nothing is selected from settlement.
If you need to distribute such RA categories as POCS between the RA lind IDs to post to different G/L accounts, you can use the solution of the Note 38070. Please, read this Note carefully.
POCI and POCS is undated on the database under the respective RA technical cost elements defined in the definition of the RA version (transaction OKG2). The matter is that POCI and POCS cannot be distributed to RA line IDs in standard and, therefore, the customizing in OKG4 is not relevant for these RA categories. You have, however, the following workarounds.
1. Use the user exit 4 (see the note 67793). In this case you    can assign two different technical RA cost elements for two different   RA keys and, consequently, two different FI posting rules (OKG8) to   settle to different G/L accounts for projects and internal orders.
2. Use of the user exit 1 with the coding from the attached note 38070.   With this workaround POCI is updated as WIP on RA line IDs W00,   W=1, ... and POCS is updated as the reserves for unrealized costs   (RUCR) on these RA line IDs under the respective RA cost elements   defined in OKG4 for line IDs W00. W01....

FS-CD reconciliation key

Dear all,
Is there a transaction code in SAP FS-CD whereby I can see which reconciliation keys have not been processed successfully.
Kind regards

Why don't you check FPG4.
Automatic Reconciliation Key Closing
The program reads reconciliation keys that are still open according to the selection criteria. All keys that are not reserved for a specific group of postings (for example, postings to a payment lot, a returns lot, a payment run, ...), are closed.
In addition, keys that are reserved for posting billing documents from SD are read.
If necessary, you can also delete reconciliation keys that have been created but are not used. To do this, select the parameters Delete Unused Open Keys or Delete Unused Closed Keys.
-- choose Processing mode as Test Run and it will display all the reconciliation which are open.

Remapping keys for Spaces

How can I remap F5 and F6 to go to Space 1 and Space 2, respectively?
I'm just starting to use Spaces. I'm a Final Cut Studio editor, and the ^/cmd/option-numpad keys are already reserved for other functions within my edit layout. On my keyboard, it looks like F5 and F6 aren't used. I would love to make use of those keys to shuttle me between space 1 and space 2. I tried going into SysPrefs > Keyboard&Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts, but it's asking me for the specific menu item in spaces, and I don't know what they're called.
Bonus question: How do I move FCP to another space without dragging each window one-by-one?
Thanks en avance!

I suggest just mapping FCP to a set space that you always use. In System Preferences you can set spaces up to have an app run in a specific space. The just select your app either from the dock or CMD + Tab to shift across to FCP.
Bonus Answer... you can move everything in a space by opening spaces, clicking on a blank part of the space you want to move and dragging everything in that space to a new position. You'll move the entire space to a new position

Depreciation key can it be changed

1) Can we change the depreciation key beofre running depreciation for assets. Suppose we decide that we want to change the depreciaiton key to calculate depreciation at 4% rather then at 2%, can we do that. If yes, how do we do that. Also can we do the same for Asset Group.
2) What is the purpose acquiring asset with automatic offsetting entry ABZON?
Why would we post capitalize existing assets if the previous year is closed. They must still be depreciated since they are existing in the system. Please explain why do we need to post capitalize an existing asset. I can understand for a new asset, it works.

Hi,,
We can chnge depreciation key when ever we want. after changing depreciation key the new values are not showing in planned values then we have to run recalculate depreciation program for that asset i.e in ARAR .

F10 Key not working in Web Browser mode

I created a click box on a CP5 screen and assigned F10 as the Shortcut key and the action is "Go to the next slide." When the user presses F10 the demo would advance to the next screen.
This works great in preview mode. However, when in Web Browser mode, nothing happens except I get this message at the bottom of the screen, "Contains commands for working with selected item."
How do I get the F10 key to work (action desired: advance to the next screen in my demo) in browser mode?

Hi there
LIkely it depends on the browser, but some keys are always reserved for use by the browser itself and they cannot be used as shortcut keys by a Captivate SWF because the browser will intercept them and not pass them on to the SWF.
I'm not sure if F10 is among those keys, but it may well be.
This would likely beg the question of why Captivate would allow you to assign a shortcut key if if wouldn't work when you publish and play in the browser. And for that I would remind you that SWF output is just one of the ouputs Captivate may produce. If you published as EXE, you aren't bound by browser behavior and the key would likely work just dandy.

"S" key not working in header?

I cannot type an "s" in my header (I just received ver 8.3 downloaded to my standalone PC). I can add an activity with no "s" issues, but not in the header....never encountered the likes of this before!

check speech system preferences (both tabs) and make sure that the 's' key is not reserved for some special command.

"Some function keys are not available to Dreamweaver
topic update: May 17, 2005"
Issue
Some of the function keys in the Dreamweaver default keyboard
shortcuts are
reserved for Mac OS X 10.4 system functions. Attempting to
perform a
function within Dreamweaver using those function keys will
instead perform a
Mac system function:
* The function key F12 is reserved on the Macintosh for the
Dashboard
utility.
* The function keys F9, F10, and F11 are reserved on the
Macintosh for
the Expose utility.
* Command+F5 turns on the Mac "Voice Over" feature.
* PowerBooks and iBooks use additional function keys for
screen
brightness (F1 & F2), sound (F3, F4 & F5) and
keyboard light (F8).
Solution
* Change the Dreamweaver keyboard shortcuts. In the
Dreamweaver menu,
select Dreamweaver > Keyboard Shortcuts.
Note: To change the shortcut for Preview in Browser, when the
Keyboard
Shortcuts dialog box opens, choose Document editing from the
Commands menu,
then scroll down to Preview in Primary Browser to define an
alternate
shortcut.
* Use the menu commands instead of the keyboard shortcuts.
For example,
select your browser by choosing File > Preview in Browser
> the preferred
browser.
* Change the shortcut key for Dashboard and Expose in the
Macintosh
System Preferences: Apple menu > System Preferences>
Dashboard & Expose´.

Can we lock the reservation while entering GI ?

Can we lock the reservation while entering GI (like the PO is locked while entering GR)?
Steps that made a problem.
1. User A enter MIGO and key GI ref. reservation. (Not save yet)
2. User B enter MIGO and key GI ref. the same reservation.
3. Both of them save the materail document.
Then stock was double issued.
The problem happens when the system was slow too. User A enter GI ref. reservation and save it. The system has not finished updating. User A cannot see the material document, so he thinks the update was unsuccessful and enters it again.
I think if we can lock the reservation while entering GI, it will solved this problem.
If you know how or have another idea, please suggest me.

We have the data warehouse db, so no foreign key constraint between parent and child.This is the mistake: you need the foreign key constraint. It is vital to have these in a data warehouse. You need as many constraints as possible: they give information to the optimizer, without which the optimizer has no chance of developing efficient execution plans. Remember that constraints are not only about data integrity, you need them for performance as well.

Custom Depreciation Key

Hi gurus,
we'd like to create a custom depreciation key which calculates a fiscal depreciation following this rule:
80% of the IAS depreciation.
We tried to use the user exit EXIT_SAPLAFAR_002 without results.
Can you please provide me any suggestions about customizing settings needed and the correct user exit to be used?
Thanks to all.
Best regards.

I've found this SAP note: 1131960. It means that there are two BADIs to use: FAA_DC_CUSTOMER and FAA_EE_CUSTOMER. The user exit EXIT_SAPLAFAR_002 has been replaced by FAA_EE_CUSTOMER->SET_PERCENT_AMOUNT method as specified by SAP note. This is the start point for my custom immplementation...
Hi to all.

To maintain two rates under one Dep Key

Hi Experts,
It is not possible to maintain two rates under one Dep Key.
If your requirement is such that you need to maintain 35% and 15.% for book dep,and first rate 30% will be charge for 1st year
from capitalization date and 2nd rate applicable form next years.
if it is possible please late me inform.
waiting for reply.
warm regards,
Jemes

Dear
Use t.code AS02. Go to Depreciation Area. Double Click the Depreciation key which you want to change. Double Click on More intervals tab which you can see at the bottom of the screen. Click on Add Interval select the new depreciation key and give the date from which it is applicable.
If you change the existing depreciation key system calculates depreciation from the date the asset has been capitalised.
So there can be one rate under one depreciation key.
Hope I clarified.
