Profitability analysis activated in POS Interface, performane/tuning issue?

We are about to golive with a SAP retail system. All purchases made by customers in store are sent into SAP via and idoc via the so called POS (point of sales) Interface.
A reciept received via an idoc creates material docs, invoice docs, accounting documents, controlling documents, profit center docs and profit ability analysis documents.
Each day we recive all receipt from each store collected in one idoc per store.
When deactivate our profit ability analysis an average store are posted in about 40 seconds with sales from an average day. When we post and profit ability analysis are activated the average time per store are almost 75 seconds.
How can simple postings to profit ability analysis increase the posting time with almost 50 %? Is this a performance/tuning issue?
Best regards
Carl-Johan
Point will be assigned generously for info that leads to better performance!

which CO document does the system creates : CCA document ?
on which cost centre ? PCA document ?
What is the CE category of the CE used for posting the variance ?

Activate Profitability analysis

Dear Gurus,
Whnever My SD member is creating the Excise Invoice in J1IIN, thn the message is coming as " Activate Profitability Analysis in Controlling Area". After activating the same the message is coming as " System failure during the locking of the GL account".
The Message no for Profitability analysis is KI144.
SATYA

Have you defined Excise GL code as a cost element in controlling and assigned to PA segment?
In case you do not want to activate COPA, remove the assignment to PA and assign default cost center in case you are not able to delete cost element (t code KA04).

Profitability Analysis for Project and Project Team

Hello Experts,
Need your ideas and expertise to the below business case, could be simple or complicated, please provide some insight.
the business case is like this. 2 specific project teams are available. there can be around 10 projects executed in a year. So in our PS we can have project team allocated to a project. workforce planning is done for the project for effective utilization, it is like 2 projects with 2 teams assigned. till now it is fine. the business calls for that 1 st team is assigned to another project only after closure of the assigned project.
Let us assume P1, P2,...P10 are the projects in a year. Assume T1, T2 are the teams available. Initially T1 is assigned to P1, T2 is assigned to P2.
Business confirms that T1 will be assigned to P3 only after completion of P1. This requirement is also straight. Assume that team T1 has executed 6 projects and team T2 has executed 4 projects.
The requirement is profitability analysis at project level i.e at P1, P2, ...P10 which is also pretty straight. Business requirement is also to have profitability analysis against each team i.e for T1 and T2. it is like each team has a project lead and team assigned under him. based on the expenses and revenue booked against the team, there will be performance evaluation of the team.( assume that P1, P3, P5, P6, P8,P9 are the projects executed by team T1, we need to have revenue and expenses of the said projects to be mapped to team T1 as well), so we have profitability analysis at team level.
Experts, require your advice on how to map the requirement. Is there any possibility to map projects to team rather assigning team to a project. please advice. provide some insight on how do we map the scenario.
Regards,
Murthy

Hello Murthy,
In SAP you carry out Month end closing activities. In order to carry out this activity, you post all period based data on the project. Subsequently data relevant for Profitability analysis can be determined for the given period and then this data can be settled to COPA.
This data can be evaluated in the project information system or in Profitability analysis.
You can check report KE30 for Profitability Analysis.
Refer SAP help for more details

Order value fields by field label in the profitability analysis document

Hello,
I am displaying a profitability analysis document and I want to order the value fields by their technical name (VV001, VV002, VV003...) instead of in alphabetical order (the system orders them by the field label).
Is it possible?
Thank you very much
Bea

Hello,
Check in KE4M whether sd condition type FKLMG is mapped corresponding value field in COPA.As you are getting the value for other company codes, this setting should be there.
You can also try checking simulation of billing document transfer through KE4ST. Check the details analysis
thanks

Mariana

Hi Mariana,
Pl use the following link:
help.sap.com/bp_retailv1470/documentation/EN/Store%20Business%20Offline%20EPOS_EN_PRES_V147.ppt
IDOC for down payment is WPUTAB01.
Entries will be as follows:
If a customer is making a down payment of Rs.1000/-
Cash a/c DR 1000/-
Customer or Site CR(Retail Stores if u dont maintain individual customers) 1000/-
When sales are closed say for example Rs.10000/-
Cash a/c DR Rs.9000/-
Customer or Site DR Rs.1000/-
Sales CR Rs.10000/-
In SAP u need to create a Special G/L with Indicator A and this special G/L will be assigned to your main a/c in Tcode OBXR.
F-29 Post Customer Down Payment ,F-32 Clear Customer ,F-39 Clear Customer Down Payment are the FICO transactions which will be used. Pl contact yr FICO
consultant for further details.
Hope this helps you.

Field catalog in Profitability Analysis

Hi,
In profitability analysis, if we want to use a particular characteristic or value field, then they should be maintained in field catalog.
Could anyone please explain me where we will define this field catalog.
Thanks
Chandra

You need to create the Characteristics and/or Value Fields using transaciton KEA5 / KEA6
Once this is done, assign these to the Operating Concern using transaction KEA0
In this transaction, enter the Operating Concern you need to modify, and then enter the Data Structure in the Data Structure tab. Assign the Characteristics / VFs in this screen (click on the respective tab to access the assignment). Once done, remember to generate the Operating Concern.
If you exit the maintenance screen on saving, the system normally prompts you to Generate the Op Co. Once this is generated, you can use these in your config./ analysis.
Cheers.

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.
Regards
Devendra

How to copy the payload from onMessage Activity in BPEL interface

Hi All,
how to copy the payload from onMessage Activity in BPEL interface when it is there at the starting of the process and when clicking on the OnMessage Activity
i'm able to see the View XML Document link. By Clicking on View XML Document Payload is getting opened for me but at this point i'm not able to copy the payload and more over the scroll bar is also not there.
When i'm saving it as .xml i'm able to see the payload but not in an xml format.
When trying the payload in SOAPUI it's not getting reformatted.
How can we solve the issue.
Regards,
CH

The input payload can be seen from "Audit Trail" tab and "Flow" tab of any BPEL instance. The XML shown in "Flow" tab are not rightly formatted XMLs and you may not able to copy them "as is" to a text editor. But, the XML shown in "Audit Trail" should be in the right XML format and you should be able to click on any audit trail entry and copy the XML payload to a text editor. soapUI should also be able to format such XMLs without any issue. Just make sure that you don't overwrite soap header/body section when pasting to soapUI request.

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:
Document                                      Date               Qty/value   UoM/Cur   Overall proc. status
                                                                                Return 60000077 / 10                          08/25/05               10.000 EA      Completed
. Returns Delivery 500000016 / 10             08/25/05               10.000 EA      Completed

Exchange Rate in Profitability Analysis Document

How is the exchange rate populated in profitability analysis document?
We have couple of scenarios:
Scenario 1: Credit memo request created without any reference and credit memo is created successfully. Exchange rate populated in the profitability analysis document is the exchange rate which applicable to current date.
Scenario 2: Credit memo request created with reference to customer invoice document and credit memo is created successfully. Exchange rate populated in the profitability analysis document is the exchange rate which applicable to the past date. We dont know how the system picked the exchange rate which does not applicable to the current date.
Any poiniters to this issue?

HI,
