Production Volume figures in COPA

Hi All,
Anyboday has any idea how to flow Production Volume Figures into COPA. I am not talking about abap option. I would like to know how can it be done in Standard SAP. Anybody who has any idea, please share your experience. Thanks.

Hi Young,
There are three ways for transferring production variances:
1. For displaying the individual variance categories for Cost Object
Controlling (CO-PC-OBJ) in CO-PA -- you would settle the variance categories
to CO-PA.
2. For merely displaying the production variances as a total in CO-PA, which is how they are posted to FI -- there is no need to calculate cost object variances and if you only wish to assign the relevant FI posting to CO-PA. In that case, you would post the production variances in FI to CO-PA.
3. You implement the Material Ledger (CO-PC-ACT). For the closing operations in Material Ledger, you might not wish to replace just the posted standard prices with the actual costs incurred. At the same time, you might want to subsequently allocate (across multiple levels) production variances to finished products at the end of the period and then display the revised variances in CO-PA. In that case, you would allocate the production variances subsequently using the Material Ledger.
Hope it gave you some insight
Thanks

Calculating Key Figures in Copa based as sales Rev / Cusomter Price Based

Hello Gurus,
I have a requirement in which i would like to calculate some key figures in COPA as sales revenue.
I would like for e.g to calculate the following: Cusomter Price Based Discount but do not know what to take into consideration.
Is there any document which can help me to build it?
I have created the generic datasource based on the table CE1XXXXX.
Thank you

Hi Anindya,
thank you for replying.
The steps in that document was already being done.
I have all Key Figures comin from CE1xxx Table. We are using the cost based COPA.
My problem now is to build some Key Figures as sales revenue (Sales View) like for e.g Cusomter Price Based Discount.
I would like to know how to proceed to build them. Any sample?
Is it possible to build them directly based only on the generated extractor? or should i have to take dta from Billing as well?
Thank you.

Defination and use of key figure in copa

dear experts,
   i'm new to co-pa.
   can anyone explain to me the defination and use of key figure in copa??
many thanks
mu

Hi!
Generally you use key figure for defining calculated values for use as tracing factors for cost center assessment to COPA.
    You can use for this t.code KE2K as define calculated values as reference values.
For Ex.
Key Figure R1 contains below value fields through formula :
R1 = ERLOS + VV00 + VV01 + VV02
where ERLOS = Revenue
VV00 = Exports Revenue
VV01 = Domestic Discount
VV02 = Exports Discount
So, this key figure you can use as a base for tracing factors for cost cetner assessment to COPA.
Hope it will clear to you. Pls ask for any further query.
Thanks & Regards,

Planned Figures in COPA Reports

Hi,
While we are able to capture the actual figures in the COPA Reports, we desire to key in the planned figures also in the COPA for comparing the actual with plan.. What are the relevant value fields for the same and how do we maintain the characteristics for entering the planned figures in COPA.
Would appreciate assistance in this regard.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ashok,
Thanks for the feedback, Would you explain a bit more as to how to create the Transfer Structure. Or else if there is a documentation would you be able to pass on the same to me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi ABAPers,
I am using KEFC tcode for CO-PA external data transfer in ECC 6.0.
I am using structure YCO_PLANDATEN for file uploading.
The file which is in presentation server is imported successfully.
But records are not updated in database table CE22000.
In sap4.6 it is doing successfully for the same file.
Anyone help me regarding this.
Thanks in advance,

Key figure in COPA cube

Hi,
In COPA cube, there is Revenue, sales tax key figures. They are transferred from R/3 with the local currency and operating concern currency. In some of my billing document, the document currency is differnt from them. How to transfer the revenue, sales tax etc to BW also with the document currency.
Many Thanks
Jean

Thanks for you reply.
Actually I solved the problem now. It is actually the Key figure that wasn't added to the Key figure list at the Perameter level. But it was in planning level.
So I added it and it worked well

Activity variance and production variance seperate in COPA

Dear experts,
My client wanted to break production variance(ko88 in two parts in COPA reports
Total material variance
Total Activity variance
What i am thinking- In PA transfer structure of Production order.I will create four assignements
1)Material price variance-Only RM cost element(Cost element Group)-Price variance category-Material Variance(value field)
2)Material QTY variance-Only RM cost element(Cost element Group)-Qty variance category-Material Variance(value field)
So both assignment linked to material variance value fields.
same way for activity
1)Activity price variance-Only Activity cost element with 43 categoryt(Cost element Group)-Price variance category-Activity Variance(value field)
2)Activity QTY variance-Only Activity cost element with 43 category(Cost element Group)-Qty variance-category-Activity Variance(value field)
So both assignment linked to activity variance value fields.
Is it works for the above requirements or I will face any technical difficulties.
regards
RR

Hi
For sure, it will work....
Another approach can be to update the variance as per cost component structure instead of variance categories in COPA.... Stil the category wise variances can be seen in Other CO reports like Co03 / KKBC_HOE/KKO0 reports

Transfer of Costs in Product Cost Collector to COPA

Dear Experts,
Please can you advise me on this current issue I'm having. Below is a description of problem:
Customer is currently using report designed in COPA (KE30) to derive P&L report for using Plant as a characteristic.
This was being done at a time when Product Costing functionality was not being used
All costs (administrative, sales and production costs) were being collected in cost centers
At end of month assessment of cost center values to COPA is executed (KEU5)
Customer is then able to derive P&L report per Plant characteristic
However with implementation of Product Costing, all Production related costs are captured in Product Cost Collectors and not Cost Center
Hence we have no way of assessing or transferring total production costs from Product Cost Collector to CO-PA
We have tried to configure FI/MM PA transfer structure (KEI1) and default account assignment (OKB9) for automatic transfer of costs on goods receipt/issue, however this is not working because the product cost collector is used as the default account assignment for the transactions
So far only material cost valuation of sales/billed materials are possible (which does not address concern)
As a result we have a gap and customer is unable to derive P&L by Plant from CO-PA.
Can you advise if there is a way out, in order to have all Production Cost transferred to CO-PA.
Thanks,
Ola.

Hi Ola
Your Cost centers would be categorized as below
1. MFG Cost Centers (In Plant)
2. Service Cost Centers (In Plant)
3. Few Cost centers (outside plant) Eg: Sales, Marketing, Sales offices etc
At period end
1. Allocate the Costs from SER CC to MFG CC using Distribution / Assessment cycle.
This will make SER CC as zero
2. Calculate actual activity price in MFG CC (KSS2 / KSII)
3. After this, do revaluation of PCC using CON2.. This will make balance in MFG CC as zero
4. Allow the Variances to be updated to COPA by ticking the "Variances to Costing based COPA" in your settlement profile
5. In short, what remains for you to allocate to COPA is the 3rd category of CC.. i.e. you should allocate those CC to COPA whose cost is not included in the cost of product using COPC module

Change in Key figures for COPA report

Hi
We have changed some formula using T.code KER1 for a element of Key figure scheme which is used in COPA report.
How do we find out which all COPA reports will get impacted by this change.
Regards,
Rams

that key figure mapping helps you to map the value fields to the std fields (the ones that are included in the std COPA content cubes.) So that you dont end up creating ur own Zfields in BI to correspond to the value fields. If you have a functional guy how can do the mapping or help u do it - go for it .... orelse you can always create ur own Z objects, so that you dont have to go back to source system to figure which IO refers to which value field.

Product Hierarchy Derivation in COPA

Hi Gurus,
We have 6 levels of Product hierarchy defined in the system and I am able to include it in the data structure. The related Characteristics are PAPH1,PAPH2,PAPH3,PAPH4,PAPH5,PAPH6 included in my operating concern. Level 1 has 1 character in number and rest of the levels has 3 characters each in number as follows.
Level 1--1 Number of Character
Level 2--3 Number of Characters
Level 3--3 Number of Characters
Level 4--3 Number of Characters
Level 5--3 Number of Characters
Level 6--3 Number of Characters
Hence all together the total number/length is 16.
Now, when I generated the operating concern,the derivation rules for product hierarchy are created automatically as follows.
Following is the screen shot for source field if I open step number 22
The corresponding screen shot for Target field is as follows
For step 23 , the source field details are same as step 22 but target field details are as follows
We have assigned Product hierarchy in Material master in tab Sales:Sales Org 2 which is 16 digits.
Now when I try to test the derivation rule for step 22, system gives me following error
=================================================================================
Characteristic value 010 does not exist for characteristic PAPH2 (ProdHier01-2)
Message no. KE0C133
Diagnosis
The characteristic "PAPH2" ("ProdHier01-2") should be posted to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA). When the system checked the entries, it was established that the transferred characteristic value (" 010") is not valid in CO-PA.
System Response
The data is not consistent and therefore cannot be transferred to CO-PA.
Procedure
With the function Maintain Characteristic Values, you can add characteristic values to those that are valid.
==================================================================================
I am getting the same error for all steps in test mode. How to fix this error? Do I need delete the PAPH1--PAPH6 characteristics and use the user defined characteristics and write derivation rule again? Also I want to know the use of steps 28 to 31 (clear) in this regard.
I have not included characteristic PRODH in my data structure. Do I require to include it in my Operating concern?
Regards,
makrand

Dear Ajay,
Hearty Thanks for the solution. As suggested by you, I removed "move" steps and defined the Table Lookup" steps.
There are two target entries i.e MVKE (Origin) table and the field name is PRODH (Product Hierarchy) which is equivalent to second target entry COPA (Origin) field (PAPH1 -----to PAPH6) in the same line.
In field PRODH,I used offset position. I selected "Entire Field Contents" and kept character position as 0 and kept total characters as 16 in each table lookup entry.
Again I have to make offset settings in PAPH1---PAPH6 fields. I selected "Entire Field Contents" tab and system automatically changed the field length for PAPH1 to PAPH6. Now the results are correct.
I arrived at solution after making some combinations in offset. Thought, this may be useful for somebody facing the similar issue.
What's the use of "Clear" steps which are generated by system?
Thanks and regards,
makrand

Product wise profitability without COPA

Dear Friends
I have a problem with my client.
We are implementing SAP R/3 Ecc 6.0 version. Our client is having only one manufacturing plant, he is making 8 different products in the same plant. There they use common materials and common utilities for 8 products. When we prepare the Org.Structure, we have proposed single Plant and single profit center. Initially he asked us to maintain 8 different plants for each product, some how we could able to convinced him that it is not possible. Since, he wanted to see product wise profitability, he is insisting us to maintain 8 different profit centres or segments. We said it is also not possible, since he has a common expenses and materials, we have suggested to go for COPA or Z report. He does not want to take COPA or Z report for the same.
In such scenario, how can we address his requirement. Experts please throw light at the earliest possible.
Regards
Prabhakar

Hi,
With 8 Products as Cost Centers and Profit Centers, you may have to define the GL A/cs accordingly to capture the costs & revenues. Purchase, Inventory, Consumption, Inventory Change, GR/IR Clg/,
Cost of Goods Sold, Sales etc. You can create Customer Group also Product wise. Make OBYC settings accordingly and define OB40 relatively. Valuation area for SFG & Finished goods will have to different so that it captures the relative accounts assignments according to Products. For each BOM & Routing will be well defined for each product to be manufactured. You will have to define the relative
Work Centers and their activities linked to product wise cost centers with necessary costing sheet and
cost component structure and allocation structure. Create Cost center and Profit Center Heirarchy profit wise.

Production order Settlement to COPA

Hi,
How production order settlement will flow to COPA? Kindly help me by providing the Process flow for this.
I have ticked on settle to settlemtn COPA in settlement profile, and also assigned Pa transfer structure to profile, then system give below error
Enter a PA transfer structure
Message no. KD044
Diagnosis
A PA transfer structure is required for settlement to profitability
analysis.
If any body has any idea then pleas inform me.
Harry

Hi,
Please ensure that following:
1. Create the Settlement Profile. Make sure the settings are correct like valid receivers Segment should be made mandatory.
2. Make sure that the allocation sturcure is created correctly with all the cost elements and value fields
3. Please assign this allocation structure to Settlement Profile
4. in KOT2 assign the settlement profile to Order type
Once this is done, you are through with the settings and you will be able to do the settlement

Production Variance settlement to COPA

Hi Experts,
Here I have scenario regarding the production variance.
production requirement is 100 units
but the actual produced quantity is 110 units.
here we have a production variance of 10 units
Which is reflecting the report as following
My COGS is 10000 Rs
Split of the COGS
input material is 11000 Rs
labour is 200 Rs
machine is 300 Rs
Here my COGS posted to GL account is less than the actual production, which is posted as per the sales order
Here where do i get the production variance, how to find out the quantiy variance and price
Please help
Regards,
Ram

Hi
Execute KKS1 / 2.. After that settle the prod order to COPA from KO88....
you can see all the categories of variance in CO03...Menu Go to > Costs > Analysis and change the layout and include all the categories of variances

Drag File From Safari Download Window to Other Volume - Moves not Copies File - Bug or Feature ?

Hi,
Appreciate comment on what I thought was unusual Mac OS behavior. Running Safari 5.1.5, OS 10.6.8.
Mac OSs in my experience copy a file when it is dragged and dropped to another volume/drive. (Let's leave classic desktop out of this.)
It may be the first time I've ever done it in any version of Safari, but just dragged a file directly from the Safari Downloads panel onto another drive's icon - and it appeared to "move" the file from its original download destination to the other drive and not simply copy it onto the other drive.
Didn't look like a copy and standard Finder delete since I didn't see file in the trash, although it was gone from the finder window for the download folder (Desktop in my prefs), and afterwards Safari Download Window magnifying glass icon "can’t show the file “filename” in the Finder because “filename” has moved since you downloaded it." It's reproducible.
Assuming it's not unique to my configuration, is this a bug or "feature" ?
Thanks.

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the General tab.
You can deselect: Open "safe" files after downloading.
