Problems when Reconsilation in Profitability Analysis

hi,
when we are doing reconsilation for profitability analysis it is not matching with ledger.then what is the solution?

Looks like characterstic value XXX which was determined during billing process doesnt exist when release is happening. Please go to transaction KES1 and check if value is maintained against the characterstic, else maintain the value and release to Accounting.

Costs of the product calculation lack in the profitability analysis

Hello there,
A group of students and I are currently working on a SAP project which is about to implement a full cost accounting in the SAP system (ERP). At first we used a case study reading (Friedl,Hilz,Pedell), some important components for calculating the products like u201Ccosting sheetu201D, u201Ccost component structureu201D and u201Ccosting variantu201D do exist already.
For our project we had to insert an additional primary cost center. For that reason we also added new components (the above given ones). After that the costs for our products could be calculated in the right way. We also booked supplies and stated the quantity of sales. Our problem is that the Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) does not show any costs of our cost centers (material input, manufacturing costs, overhead costs) only the earnings. We did not add any u201Cattributesu201D, u201Cderivation rulesu201D or u201Cvalue fieldsu201D but fulfilled all requirements in the Customizing menu (u201CAssign costing key to productu201D, u201CAssign costing key to productu201D, u201CAssign value fields for cost component structureu201D).
The first time when we used the case study reading and therefore another company code everything worked fine. We think that the problem might be that the costing key is not attached to the products.
Thank you for any help and suggestions,
Kind regards!

In the same area as where you assign the costing key to the product, there is also an entry where you need to define the costing key. You don'tr mention that you have done that.
In the user menu for Profitability Analysis, there are also a lot of tcodes that will help you investigate the flows of values and derivation of characteristics. They are very helpful in most cases.

BW Analysis Authorization Problem when no selection is done

Hi Everybody,
I am facing the following problem with the implemented authorization concept.
We have marked 2 IOs as Authorization relevant: company and costcenter. We have defined an authorization object where the values are assigned through two variables $ZCompany and $ZCostcenter. The values are picked up from 2 Ztables where the User/Usergroup/Values assignement is done. Eveything seems to work fine.
We have a problem when using an optional variable built on Company or Costcenter in our queries and no selection is done.
If no selection is done, the variables ZCompay and ZCostcenter both are given values equals *. It si the same as every value. Since the user ZTESTUSER is authorized only for some comapnies and some costcenters, the match between the * selection and the authorization set is not sucessful and the user doesn´t get any authorization. this is what we can when executing the display error log:

What i don´t really understand is why the user doesn´t get any authorization only for the values subset for which he is authorized for. Is that normal according to your experience?
How can we get rid of it obtaining that for such selection the user gets authorizations for the subset?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Enrico

Hi,
thank you both for the answers.
Since the user is authorized for some certain values rappresenting a subset of * (all values) I dont really understand why he receives an error message as if he hasn´t any authorization at all. According to my logic, a partial dispaly of the data should be possible.. according to my logic, I repeat
Using a mandatory variable would force the user to give a value. The problem is that we have users who are authorized for a large number of costcenters. In this case the best solution would be to define the mandatory variable as a selection option, allowing the user to define intervals of values as well. BUT in this case we would have the same problem described above as soon as the user pick up an interval of values containing also single costcenters for which he has no authorization. I hope, it is clear what i mean.
Using an Authorization variable has the only charme that we get a kind of preselection of values. If the user wants to modify the selection and to define an interval, then we face the same issue again.
It seems to me that BW Authorization concept doesn´t work with "subset" of values. Am i right? Any suggestion?
Best regards
Enrico

COPA Values in the Profitability analysis for a credit memo request

Hi All,
When I am trying to create an Invoice document for a Credit Memo request having a Configurable material , in the accounting document profitable analysis Profit Center view fields are not getting updated.
If we do the same thing for a reference material profit center view fields are getting updated properly.
What is the problem with the Configurable material.
Thanks in advance,
RajaMahi

I would start fresh with a new sales order. When you create with reference both the return delivery and credit memo are created with reference to the return sales order. Here is an example document flow to clarify:

Creating Profitability Analysis Reports????

Hello Everyone!
I am trying to learn creation of reports in CO-PA. So far I tried creating some simple reports. I have some questions about the same. Maybe someone can help me if I tell exactly what I am doing:
1. Accounting -> Controlling -> Profitability Analysis -> Environment -> Set Operating Concern (TC: KEBC)
2. Create a report in with TC KE31,
Accounting -> Controlling -> Profitability Analysis -> Information System -> Define report
3. Took the option with basic report, included some characteristics, keyfigure(selected one key figure), variables(some entered at the execution time), output type(classis drilldown).
4. I am getting the output as a drilldown. I wanted all the selected characteristics as colums rather than drilldown in my final report. How do I make all the characteristics as columns? Ex: 5 columns containing customer, quantity of sales, address, product
Thanks in advance for your help!
Swapna

Hey Nisha,
Thanks a lot for your response. I tried creating a report like you said. But the problem is that I wanted columns with Example (sorry about the format, this was the best I could do without uploading an excel sheet):
Customer,           Material,     Quantity sold,    Total Revenue
XYZ Company,    Computer,   10pieces,           $500
But my output was:
                      Customer,       Material
Quatity Sold    10 EA                 10EA
Total Revenue   $ 500                 $500
I am not seeing the customer name and material instead I am seeing it as a matrix with values for the rows. And when I create a form with one axis, outout is coming out as a drilldown. Hope my explanation makes sense. Can anyone help me with this situation?
Thanks,
Swapna

Problem when using About Operator in Contains Query

Hi,
I'm new to Oracle and this forums too. I have a problem when using about operator in contains query.
I create a table with some records and then create a context index on 'name' column.
CREATE TABLE my_items (
id           NUMBER(10)      NOT NULL,
name         VARCHAR2(200)   NOT NULL,
description VARCHAR2(4000) NOT NULL,
price        NUMBER(7,2)     NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE my_items ADD (
CONSTRAINT my_items_pk PRIMARY KEY (id)
CREATE SEQUENCE my_items_seq;
INSERT INTO my_items VALUES(my_items_seq.nextval, 'Car', 'Car description', 1);
INSERT INTO my_items VALUES(my_items_seq.nextval, 'Train', 'Train description', 2);
INSERT INTO my_items VALUES(my_items_seq.nextval, 'Japan', 'Japan description', 3);
INSERT INTO my_items VALUES(my_items_seq.nextval, 'China', 'China description', 4);
COMMIT;
EXEC ctx_ddl.create_preference('english_lexer','basic_lexer');
EXEC ctx_ddl.set_attribute('english_lexer','index_themes','yes');
EXEC ctx_ddl.set_attribute('english_lexer','theme_language','english');
CREATE INDEX my_items_name_idx ON my_items(name) INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT PARAMETERS('lexer english_lexer');
EXEC ctx_ddl.sync_index('my_items_name_idx');Then I perform contains query to retrieve record :
SELECT count(*) FROM my_items WHERE contains(name, 'Japan', 1) > 0;
COUNT(*)
      1
SELECT count(*) FROM my_items WHERE contains(name, 'about(Japan)', 1) > 0;
COUNT(*)
      1But the problem is when I using ABOUT operator like in Oracle's English Knowledge Base Category Hierarchy it return 0
SELECT count(*) FROM my_items WHERE contains(name, 'about(Asia)', 1) > 0;
COUNT(*)
      0
SELECT count(*) FROM my_items WHERE contains(name, 'about(transportation)', 1) > 0;
COUNT(*)
      0I can't figure out what 's wrong in my query or in my index.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello (and welcome),
You'd be best asking this question in the Oracle Text forum, here:
Text
And by the way, it will help others to analyse if you put {noformat}{noformat} (lowercase code in curly brackets) before and after your code snippets.
Good luck!

Profitability Analysis not generated in Contract billing Document

I have created the Billing document against the contract order but the Profitability Analysis is not getting generated. But any sale order related billing document is created; system automatically creates the Profitability Analysis.
Can you tell me where the problem is or have I missed any steps?
Regards,
Devendra

1) For a service material (DIEN), We are creating an Sales Order (VA01) and doing a order based billing (VF01). In the Sales Order we are giving the plant (no shipping point and storage location as it is a DIEN material).
Once we do the billing we are able to see the Profitability Analysis document.
2) Now we are using the same material we are creating a Contract (VA41) for a period of one year and doing a monthly billing. In this case we are using VF04 for doing the bills that are due.
We are getting two results in this:
a) If we give a Plant in the contract, the Profitability Analysis document is not getting generated at the time of billing.
b) If we do not give any plant, the Profitability Analysis document is getting generated at the time of billing.
Please note that we are using the same material, same pricing procedure in both the above cases 1) and 2). Only difference is that the source documents are different i.e., one is Sales Order and the other one is Contract.
In our copa valuation we have assigned the conditions to value field, no derivation rule assigned.

Devendra

Problem in calculation with web analysis

Hi, Experts..
Here is an interesting quetion...with Web Analysis
I need to calculate mat ov/kg for a site which is obatained by (total value/total volume). When i went for calculation option in analysis tool manager and apply formula this,It is taking for only one site calculation not happening for the other sites.Totally we have 60 sites with us and would not be flexible to calculate it individually.
Is there any possibility to run calc scripts...in web analysis... or how to solve this problem?

It might be because you have set up the 60 sites individually within the Web Analysis grid? We had some difficulty when first using Web Analysis and needed to put the calculations at the highest level using the calc manager. You also have to be careful if there are lots of columns, due to the way the calculation manager applies calcs and formats due to the inheritance.
Another option would be to push the calculation back to the cube, which is best practice as it's easier, more scalable for deployments.

Drill down problem when using union all combination

Hi All,
I have a simple report with a drill down. The report has three columns Region, Sales, Flag... which will drill down to detail level of sales. The Flag column has Y, N values and we added 'All' Value in flag so that the user can select Y, N and All from the table prompt in the report . We have used union all in the report using combination to add the ' All ' Value in the flag. The problem is that now the main report is not passing the Flag values to the detail report. Flag is prompted in the filter in detail report.
If I remove the 'All' value from Analysis with only Y N selection criteria the drill down works.
Is there any work around? I have to use table prompt and All value selection in flag for drill down.
Thanks,
Virat

The problem is without union all when doing combination of analysis drill down works, when I use combination drill down does not work because it does not pass the parameters for flag . I have used union all to add All value in flag.

CAPTURING OF COST IN PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS FOR BY PRODUCT

Dear Team,
We had a requirement when standard material cost estimate is executed we can get the standard price for main material as well as by product for which values are flowing to COPA (T.code KE30).
The scenario works fine for Main Product, since the actuals as well as Costs are flowing to COPA. Where as only actuals are posting to byproduct as there are no separate cost estimate for Byproduct.
So only acutals are caputured to Profitability analysis.
At present we are manually changing the price of the byproduct material through MR21 which is constant through out the period.
Our requirement:- Since Byproduct doesnt have any separate BOM and Routing, Is it possible to capture this byproducts price to COPA.
or
capturing of COGS for this byproducts price is also ok.
Please anybody can guide me.
Thanks & regards,
Sandeep

Dear Santosh,
Thanks for your early reply.
It might work, Please elaborate.
Request you to send any document if you have any, since i am new in CO.
it was availbale in my user profile.
Thanks & regards,

Characteristic and value field in profitability analysis document

hi,
1 in VF03, when i click the accounting button, i got the profitability analysis document.
when i click on it, it shows display line items with tabs like characteristic and value fields.
may i know where i can see the characteristic and value fields defined where each time when i click on profitability analysis document, i get the list of characteristic and value field.
2 also if open FB03, can see the profit segment. the characteristic and value defined in where?

Characteristic Derivation in Profitability Analysis

Dear Experts,
I am finding it bit difficult to understand the concept fully when it comes to the Characteristic Derivation in Profitability Analysis.
I had gone through the various SAP explanations of MOVE, LOOK UP, ENHANCEMENT, DERIVATION RULEu2026. And now I am having rough understanding of all of it. But I am finding it difficult to understand on how these various steps or rule impact the COPA output. In other words if someone can explain the usage of all the MOVE, LOOK UP, ENHANCEMENT, DERIVATION RULE steps with an example?
Thanks in advance
Paul

Hello Paul,
Its purely clients decision/requirements which determine whether derivation is required or not. But in all COPA implemenation you need at least couple of derivations.
I will explain a simple scenario for Table Look up. Suppose you are settling production orders linked to a sales order ( Make to order scenario).
When the production order settles variances to COPA, system will not transfer Customer ( sold to party) characteristics.
But you can tweak the system through a small derivation rule to bring the customer from sales order and pass it to COPA when production order is settled.
For table look up first you have to identify the table, here our reference is sales order (VBAP-VBELN) and the required field is sold to party (VBAP-KUNNR), both are in VBAK
In the source field for table look up
VBAP- VBELN = CO-PA- KAUFN ( means if sales order number from VBAP table is same as the COPA sales order number)
VBAK-KUNNR= CO-PA-KDNR ( then pull the customer number associated with that sales order and populate the COPA customer field)
Please carefully go through SAP help for derivation, it is clearly explained with simple examples

Can someone tell me his/her experience about a specific scenario in Profitability Analysis where he/she faced a problem and did something special in configuration/development in order to move from legacy to SAP system.
I would appreciate the help and award suitable points.
Thanks
