COPA-Assessment cycle KEU5

We have run cost center -assessment cycle for a cost center group and all the cost of the profit centers are distributed to respective costcenters.And now we goto COPA-Assessment cycle KEU5 and run the cycle for the cycle with same cost center group as sender.
System posts a difference amount of positive amount in the credit side of each costcenter of that group.Which reduces the credit value and shows in over/under absorption.
Please suggest where from the system is finding the difference when all the costcenters are with zero value as cost is distributed thru CCA assessment cycle.What differences will a cycle run in co-pa determine.Please suggest.

Hi,
Actually, the Sales overhead and Corporate expenses which are captured in the Cost Center shall be allocated to the COPA. All other expenses captured in other Cost Centers shall be allocated to the Production and shall be absorped into the products manufactured. Hence, the same Cost Center shall not be used as sender in both the cycles. If we use like what you described, it will definitely result in over absorption that is more credits. Hence, please describe why need to add the same Cost Center group in both the CC cycle and Copa CC cycle.
Trust this helps much!
Cheers!

COPA Assessment Cycles and FI Period closing.

Hi Gurus,
I have question related to the COPA Assessment cycles.
We have closed the FI Period 03 and running the COPA Assessment cycles. while running the same, for few of the assesment cycles are completed and for the rest of the few cycles it is error out stating the Period is closed.
Why it is running successfully for few cycles and why it is complaining for Period closing for the others. We are on ECC 6 Version of SAP.
Error out cycles contains Cost accounts and Asset Account GL Accoutns.

Hi:
If your CO allocation has some external postings (like GL or fixed assets) or generating some intercompany documents, then it needs FI to be open also. It happens sometimes if the allocation goes external so it would need fI period to be open also. If FI is close but CO is open, it would only work for CO specific allocations and others would error out.
Please check the cycle/segment which is in error. If it is suppose to hit FI, then FI (OB52) and CO (OKP1) periods should be in sync.
Thanks.

How to analyse the Receiver Tracing Factor in COPA Assessment cycle -KEU5

Hi
While executing the COPA Assessment cycle,we will get receiver tracing factor.My client wants to know how we got that.How can i analyse that Receiver tracing factor?Kindly advice me...
How can I recalculate the tracing factor for assesstment?
For example, Actual Assessment Cycle RS_A01 under Segment ITCMFG2AD uses Variable Portions Rule for Receiver tracing Factor with Value Field of 62 Sales.
The intent of this assessment was to be allocated based upon sales dollar values however when I review the test calculation, it appears the tracing factor is in billions of dollars when our monthly sales are in the million of dollars range.
Supriya

Hi,
If Receier Tracing Factor Rule is Variable Portion, then please also check the Receiver Weighting factor (the last tab in the assessment cycle, it normally is 100 for the receivers.
Secondly also check if there is different currency setting in CO Area & the Operating Concern which translates into different figures.
Hope this works.

Saket

COPA Assessment Cycles

Hi Guru,
I really need some help with setting up COPA assessment cycles in 6.0. I have used the best practice guides but unfortunately they were to lazy to be thorough. I am using transaction code KEU7 to create the cycle. I have attached a few segments to the cycle and added the sender/receiver (cost centers, companycode) details aswell. I checked it before saving the cycle and i got no error messages. Now when i execute the cycle through tcode KEUB i get errorr/warning messages saying that "no valid sender entries found" and "this segment does not contain any senders". I am not sure what i am missing and what i may be doing incorrectly. Can someone please help me understand how to rectify this issue. I am extremely generous with rewarding points!!!
Thanks in advance,
Shaun

Hi Smith,
Basically we created copa cycles in KEU1 and execute through KEU5.Find that recivers are product hi-erarachies, In our orgainisation Corporate oh are be charge to products through copa cycles.
Coming to your problem,When ever you define new copa cyle you find the error in differet ways.
1) NO VALID SENDER FOUND for segment means, Go to the segment there is an button ie consistancy chek box.Click on the check box System returns relavant segment.Observe that segment contains valid senders and revicers are produtc hierarachies or not.
2) Other wise go to the segment and clik on find button, give the cost center, cost elements.Observe secondary cost elements and rules.
3) other wise you can directly execute the co-pa cycle and click on segments.Here you can easily find that sender contains valid recivers or not.Basically these kind of error message will appears still now there is no Transaction passed to that products..
I hope you understood.

COPA Assessment Cycle

Hi,
I prepared one copa assessment cycle(T.code : KEU1) with a receiver type -Variable portions / Revenue with Billing type (F) . When i run the COPA Assessment cycle , i got a message that no sender values found. I created some revenue entries in the period 12 and some Cost center related expenditure.
I prepared another cycle with receiving type as fixed amounts. When i run the KEU5 , The values are perfectly flowing.
Any inputs on this. Thanks in advance.
Thanking You,
D.K.Lakshmi Narayana

Hello Pran,
With reference to your Error
1) Please check the value of Sender. I think it is 0.
2) In second case please add the reported GL in allocation structure KF which you are using.
Hope this will help you.

COPA Assessment cycle + OKP1

Hi,
As part of month end activities, OB52 and OKP1 were closed for last month.
But still COPA assessment cycle is not completed.
Pls. let me know if they need to be opened again for executing the assessment cycles.
Thanks,
Sridevi

Hi Sridevi,
Goto OKP1 T.code and open transaction "Assessment to CO-PA" for particulare period and execute Assessment cycles for COPA and Goto OKP1 T.code and close transaction "Assessment to CO-PA" for previously open period.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,

COPA Assessment Cycle Process

Hi
Can any one tell me the entire COPA assessement Cycle with its uses and period end activity,sender and receiver logic,etc.
If u have any document,can u send it to me... praviin_5at yahoo.co.in
I m in 6.0
Regards
Praveen

Hi,
COPA assessment cycle is used to bring the overhead values, cost center values to copa through copa assessment cycle. for that you have to create a COPA assessment cycle in KEU1 with senders, receivers value fields. After that you have to execute KEU5 t code.

COPA Assessment Cycles Issue.

Dear All,
I have an issue with assessment cycles through COPA.
I have created assessment cycles for transferring the cost from cost center to products. So Maintained the sender cost center and cost elements but i maintained the receiver charecteristics which is not executing.
We have many charecteristics in copa report. But client has given the percentages for products only to distribute the cost from cost center to Products.
How can i achive this with proper execution of assessment cycles.
Regards,
Prakash.

Dear Prakash,
Check in Tcode KE24 whether values are posted for the combination of receivers you have mentioned in Assessment cycle. If the values are not posted for the combinations as receivers, system will not post the values through assessment cycle.Restrict the receiver characteristics for e.g. company code, Material Group etc.

COPA assessment cycles for revenue postings

Dear SAP gurus,
is it possible to allocate revenues to COPA via assessment cycles (tcode KEU5)? We have service income related revenues that are not linked to COGS therefore they are posted to Cost Centers but they need to be visible in the cOPA report to have a complete profitability by product. at the moment I am not allowed as revenue are considered statistical postings... any clue how can I solve this?
Thanks
Monica

Hi Monica
Welcome to SDN!
I dont agree with the responses provided above.. As far as I know, statistical postings can neither be settled, nor can they be allocated
Catg 11 cost elements post statistically to Cost Centers.. Hence, you cant allocate...
For the postings made till now, Manually update COPA using KE21N (If you are using Costing Based COPA)
Way Forward: Make your service income postings in an Internal Order and you can settle the same to COPA and then allocate using Top Down Dist KE28...
Try note 605281 and see if it allows to use IO as senders in KEU5....

Cross company code posting in assessment cycle

Friends,
I developed one assessment cycle to send from Cost center A ( company code A with USD) to Receiver cost centers B ( company code B with CAD) and Cost center C ( Company Code A and USD), When I do the assessment cycle and check the details it is showing me 100% taken out of sender and assessed to B and C. But when I check cost center report of Cost center A, the credit is not same as the debits ( i made the cycle to take out 100%). When i drilled down in the credits ( sent from assessment cost element), I see object currency to be different from transaction currency ( should be the amount that needs to be credited) even though Object and transactions currencies are in USD.
Any input on why object currency value will be different from transaction currency value even though both are in USD? Is it something because of cross company posting with different currencies? Thanks in advance

Hi,
check SAPNET note 549430 it describes the system beahivour and what you can do.

Reciever tracing factor in COPA assessment cycle

Hi All,
I have account-based COPA and am trying to create COPA cost center assessment cycle in Tcode KEU2. While filling the reciever tracing factors, i can see the following values
RCMEGI     Total Quantity
RCWKFI     Fixed Costs
RCWKGI     Total Costs
However i need to define another key figure based on headcount
Can anyone help me with how to create additional Amount/Qty Field for the assessment cycle. Where would be above be defined?
Thanks & Regards
Pooja Saxena

Hi Christian
Are you suggesting that the costs from cost center be allocated upon, say, some IOs based on SKF and then settling the IOs to COPA?
This would be very cumbersome to create as many IOs as the possible combinations of Customer/ product / Other receiver chars
Or are you suggesting some thing else which I could not catch?
Also, new qty field can be created in KEA6... Values updated for this thru KE21N will work for acct based COPA?
Regards

COPA Assessment Cycle - Segment Wise

Hello Friends,
Good Day!
I have created COPA Actual Assessment Cycle by T-Code KEU1. I have created around 5 Segments in that cycle. I want to execute the Assessment Cycle, but Segment Wise. I am trying to execute KEU5 and execute the Cycle. The assessment was properly as desired but for all Segment at once.
But if I want to execute this Cycle Segment Wise, is there any possible way to do that?
Many Thanks,
Pritesh Lodha

Dear Lodha,
Please try in the following manner which may suits your requirement:
Lock indicator available in Assessment cycles segment wise.
If you have many segments and want to run for few segments, you can use the lock indicator in assessment cycle T Code: KSU2
After locking the required segments you can run the assessment cycle using KEU5 by specifying the cycle name.
Cycle will consider the active segments only.

COPA Assessment Cycle using KEU5 for multiple controlling areas

Hello All,
There is an organization with operations in several countries. There is a separate controlling area for each country. There is one controlling area, for instance, for Germany and another for Netherlands.
A problem is encountered while executing transaction KEU5 for multiple controlling areas in parallel. For instance, when one user from Germany executes KEU5 for an assessment cycle for Germany controlling area and at the same time another user from Netherlands tries to execute KEU5 for a cycle for NL controlling area, the user from Netherlands encounters an error message u201C'Cycle XXXX 01.02.2008 cannot be started because run group 0000 is locked'.
Apparently SAP allows assessment cycles for exactly one controlling area to be executed together. This poses a problem since the organization plans to implement SAP in several other countries (There will be one separate controlling area for each country as per the organization structure adopted by the company).
Any ideas, views or suggestions on the aforesaid issue would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Soumya

Hi Soumya,
Did you find any text in SAP Documentation saying that "SAP does not allow cycles belonging to different controlling areas to be executed at the same time"...?
Pls find the following text from SAP Help...
Parallel Processing of Cycles of an Allocation Type
Use
Parallel processing of cycles results in considerable time savings. To process cycles of one allocation type in parallel, they must be assigned to different cycle run groups.
You define the cycle run groups in the cycle header data. You also assign cycles to the cycle run groups in the header data.
To process the cycles of a cycle run group in parallel, start the cycles one after the other, if required, in different sessions.
You are carrying out a cross-company code cost accounting and want to perform the actual assessment in the individual company codes in parallel. Create a cycle run group for each company code and assign the appropriate cycles to these groups. You can then carry out the actual assessment in the individual company codes in parallel.
When you execute a cycle, you can start a consistency check. The system checks whether you are allowed to execute the selected cycles in parallel.
Though I didn't come across such requirement, I feel, my earlier suggestion will work out...
