Profitability Assessment cycles
Is it possible to run PA assessment cycles in a group? I mean, I would like to be able to execute several assessment cycles at the same moment but have them run sequentially.
Hi Chintan,
Many thanks for your answer. However, we have 6-8 assessment cycles set up. Each assessment cycles already has multiple segments (up to 30 approx in some cases). What I want to do is set the cycles to run at the same time but in sequence since some of the cycles are depending on each other.
Thanks

In KEU9 - plan assessment cycle, receiver ' company code' means what
Hi
In KEU9, plan assessment cycle for copa, in RECEIVER there are many eg...product, WBS , company code.
How does the assessemnt happen for receiver ' company code'
Thanks
kamalaHI,
To reflect all the actual costs from Overhead Cost Controlling in Profitability Analysis, you need to transfer the cost center costs which are not directly attributable to the production process. You can transfer these costs to any profitability segments you wish and thus assign them to any level of your contribution margin hierarchies.
That way you can assign them to the level that best reflects the cause of the overhead.
For example, you can assign the costs that arose in the marketing for a certain customer group to that particular customer group in CO-PA. Similarly, the fixed costs and the excess costs in production should be assigned to the products or product groups that caused these costs.
If you assess the overhead costs to Company Code level, then in your KE30 report these costs are available at Company code level which you can't drill down to lower level.
Hope this helps. -
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
MonicaHi 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....

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,
SoumyaHi 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...

Assessment Cycle - Detailed Line Item Report
Hi,
The users have run the Assessment Cycle for allocation of costs from one cost center to various other Cost Centers. They now want to view the line item report, giving the details of cost allocations performed and the cost centers. Could you please advise as to how can we get this report?
Thanks in advance.
RegardsHi Ragini
Thank you so much. The Report is quite valuable in analysing the results of assessment cycle and cost allocations. (Points assigned).

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

Plant Name Qty Produced (in Kgs) Total Cost Per Kg Cost
A 1000 100000 100
B 200 20000 100
C 500 100000 200
D 1500 450000 300
Requirement
* I need to get the cost per kg forr each plant is required in SAP
i.e Last Column results shoulh come in SAP
* Is there any possibility to maintain any Assessment Cycle to achieve this?
* Suggest me how to get those results in SAP
If possible What are the senders and receivers and Skfs/ Activity Types to be maintained..............?Hi
Assessment cycles are used to transfer costs from one cost center to multiple cost centers (KSU5) or from a cost center to multiple PA segments (KEU5). You cannot use plants in an assessment cycle.
Maybe if the data you have given is available in COPA then you get get the required info using a formula in a KE30 report

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.

Run PCA Assessment Cycle under New GL
I'm on ECC6.0, and I'm trying to run PCA assessment cycle using FAGLGA15, I've created the PCA assessment cycle. But I got the warning message saying " no valid sender found", I checked table FAGLFLEXA, the sender profit center has values which I posted through FB50 , anybody has encountered the same issue?
please advise.Hi,
In NewGL, all actual data is saved under version '1' by system design. You can see this in FAGLFLEXT-RVERS.

Hi All,
I have the following doubt in assessment cycle :-
Consider the following scenario. There are three cost centres :- D015, D020 and D025 .
An assessment cycle is being created where D015 is the sender and D020, D025 are the receivers . A cost of 1,00,000 is assigned to the cost centre D015. As per the assessment cycle, the cost centres D020 and D025 will get 50% each of the cost that is assigned to cost centre D015. I created a secondary cost element 824030 and performed the assessment. After the assessment, when I reviewed the actual line item report in ksb1 transaction, I found that under cost element 824030, each of the cost centres D020 and D025 had a cost of 50,000 each . Under cost centre, D015 the net amount after the assessment was 0 .
I created another secondary cost element 825030 and performed the assessment again with 825030 as the assessment cost element, with D015 as the sender and D020, D025 as the receivers of the assessment. As per this assessment cycle too, I maintained the same percentage ratio - cost centres D020 and D025 will get 50% each of the cost assigned to cost centre D015 .
After running the second assessment cycle, when I reviewed the actual line item report in ksb1 transaction, to my surprise, I found that under cost element 825030, cost centres D020 and D025 had 50,000 each . Under D015, the net amount was 100,000 - .
My question here is after performing the first assessment, when there were no costs in D015, how did a cost of 100,000 be allocated to cost elements D020 and D025 ?
In an assessment, costs are removed from one cost centre and placed to another cost centre. When there are no costs in a cost centre, how are costs being allocated to another cost centre.
Regards,
Sushanth HulkodHi,
My cost elements are different in my first and second assessment. In my first assessment, my cost element is 824030 and in my second assessment, my cost element is 825030 . In both the assessments, D015 is my sender and D020, D025 are my receivers.
When I ran the cost centres : Actual / Plan / Variance Report, the output that I see is :-
Under D015 :-
Actual Costs Plan Costs Var.(Abs) Var.(%)
824030 100,000 - 100,000-
825030 100,000- 100,000-
Credit 200,000- 200,000-
Under D020 :-
Actual Costs Plan Costs Var.(Abs) Var.(%)
824030 50,000 50,000
825030 50,000 50,000
Debit 100,000 100,000
Under D025 :-
Actual Costs Plan Costs Var.(Abs) Var.(%)
824030 50,000 50,000
825030 50,000 50,000
Debit 100,000 100,000
My question is in the second assessment, how is D015 assessing the cost to receivers D020 and D025 when it does not have any cost with it ?

Cost center Group & Assessment cycle
We are running CC reports for CC groups X and Y - Report GR55, Report group 1000 - Run in both currencies Pesos and USD by running in both currency modes.
Requirement:
1) How can we see the net balance in CC reports after assessments out = 0 in both Pesos and USD currencies.
2) Where we can see the link between Cost center Group and Assessment cycle.
Thanks,
RajuHi,
1) You will see the credit entries in the report after the assessment is run. Here, report should have configured in such a way, you can see both debit and credit entries.
2) If you have assigned the KSB1 Actual cost line report to the report, you can doubte click and see from which cost centers the values have flown through assessment.
Trust this helps much!
Cheers! -
Assessment cycles, gr55 and ke30
hi there,
we have many assessment cycles, cost objets, report painter, Z and COPA reports. I am sure we cant transport master data but can have transport requests for config in IMG. Can we transport the sets/ reports from DEV-QA- Prodn? I am referring to gr31/gr51 and COPA reports?
Also can we transport the assessment cycles along with their segments?
Thanks.Hi,
Report Groups and reports in report painter can be transported from DEV-QA-PRD. You can do this using T.code GCTR.
You can also transport sets from DEV-QA-PRD. Go to GS02 Change sets. Mention the set you want to transport and then go to utilities in menu bar. Under utilities you will have the option of transport which have transport request has sub node.
Please assign points if useful.

Assessment Cycle for Planned Cost
Hi,
I have production cost centers and dept cost centers for which cost center planning has been maintained in KP06. I have maintained assessment cycle for planned costs with planned skf. When I run the cycle, system is apportioning the costs based on the factors maintained.
However on execution, without test tun, the system is posting the costs to the receiver cost centers as Actual Costs and not Planned Costs..
Can anyone tell me what is the reason?Hi,
Have you created ur assessment cycle in T.Code: S_ALR_87005540 - Define Assessment for Plan cost (or) S_ALR_87005742 - Define Assessment for Actual cost. Assessment cycle execution t.code. KSUB for Plant cost posting. and KSU5 for actual cost posting.
If you define cycle in S_ALR_87005540, Please check have u select Plan (or) Actual Radio button

Hi guys. I need help on how to create gl assessment cycle step by step. I created a cycle using FAGLGA11 but i keep getting an error message that the sender and receiver doesn't exist. Is there something that I am missing. My goal is to do profit center assessment to transfer costs from one cost center(service) to 8 cost centers (production) and post the costs into one GL account. Please help , its urgent.Thanks for your help.
Moderator: Please, read and respect the rules of SDNHi Sridhar,
You have defined is ok, further you have to give the selections in the Receiver Tracing Factor - Reveiver Rule / Var portion type.
You have the following options:
1. Receiver Rule - You want to transfer the variable portions / fixed amounts / fixed % etc.,
2. Var. Portion type - On what basis you want to split the sender amount from 201 to receiver cost center group Actual costs / plan costs / actual Statistical key figures / plan Statistical key figures.
Unless you dont do the selections it would not be able to identify the sender and receiver.
