Receiver tracing factor rule

Hi all,
In KSU3, I see there are few selection of receiver rule.
May I know what are the purpose for the below?
variable portions
fixed amount
fixed percentage
fixed portion
Thanks alot
help.sap.com

Hi,
check if these divisions have any postings under cost element 627800. It's because you've selected variable portions with receiver tracing factor cost element 627800.
Why don't you use fixed percentages or fixed portions instead of variable portions?

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.

Difference between Receiver Tracing factors and weighting factor

Hi
I   have read sap help, but   the difference between receiver tracing factor and receiver weighting factor is still not clear.
Can u provide an example to understand it.
Thanks
kamala

Hi Kamala
As far as I know, the weigh fac is meant to determine the decimal places...and Sender values tab is meant for determining the % to be allocated...
In the tab "Weigh factor", you would see a field FACTOR PER, which has the following entries
0000001 No decimal places
0000010 One decimal place
0000100 Two decimal places
0001000 Three decimal places
0010000 Four decimal places
0100000 Five decimal places
1000000 Six decimal places
By default it is 0000100 which means 2 decimals..F1 help on this field shows that
You enter 123456 as the weighting factor. Depending on the factor, this number is interpreted as:
Factor      Decimal places   Weighting factor
1                 0              123456
10                 1              12345.6
100               2              1234.56
Hope this helps

How to calculate Tracing Factor in Assessment cycle

Hi,
Kindly help me How to Calculate Tracing Factor in Assessment Cycle
Is it the total of revenue for that division multiplied by the tracing factor (100)?
Kindly advice me
Thanks
Supriya

Hi Supriya,
1. If you are using Assessment Cycle for allocation of cost among cost centers, then, the Receiver Tracing Factor selection will by and large depend on your allocation purpose and basis.
Whether you want to allocate the costs on fixed percentages, OR , on the basis of Variable Proportions ( in which you can allocate the costs on the basis of some Statistical Key Figures data / already existing costs in those cost centers etc).
2. If you are using Assessment Cycle for the purpose of transferring values to COPA, in that case, the Receiver Tracing Factor can be selected and the basis can be any Value Field (basis on the value which is there in that value field). Pls chk the transaction code KEU1 / KEU2
Pls try to explain your complete requirement so as to suggest how u have to create cycle.

COPA Assessement - reciever tracing factors getting multiplied

HI All,
COPA assessment cycle has been defined to send the costs from cost centers to COPA profitability segments. Posted revenue has been used as tracing factors. My question is regarding calculation of tracing factors.
The revenue for receivers is 22.22 and 444, however when the cycle is executed, the receiver tracing factors as shown in test run screen is 44 and 888. System is internally doubling the receiver tracing factors while executing the cycle in KEU5. Although the receiver values are correct in absolute terms, Users cannot understand why the receiver tracing factors are multiplied
Why do the tracing factors get multiplied?
Thanks & Regards
Pooja Saxena

HI Ajay
Thanks for responding, My error is coming when i am trying to execute the assessment cycle, In some segments, the tracing factor got multiplied by 10!
So not always doubles
When you execute the cycles where reciver tracing factor is displayed in the output, is it always equal to the value that is in the system or some multiple of the same
Thanks & Regards

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?

Tracing factor and cost center

Hi,
May I know if I can associate like this. Please advise.
1)
SKF quantity is assigned to receiving cost center. Later sender cost center base on the quantity in receiving cost center to apportion out the cost.
Activity type quantity is assigned to sender cost center. Later receiviing cost center receive the cost base on the quantity in sender cost center.
2) But I see there are both SKF and AT being the tracing factor as receiver in cycle. This makes me baffled against point 1 above.
Need advice.
Thanks

1)
SKF quantity is assigned to receiving cost center. Later sender cost center base on the quantity in receiving cost center to apportion out the cost.
This is how the SKF distribution works by standard
Activity type quantity is assigned to sender cost center. Later receiviing cost center receive the cost base on the quantity in sender cost center.
This should not be possible possible, the system only checks the activity type quantities on the receiver side.
2) But I see there are both SKF and AT being the tracing factor as receiver in cycle. This makes me baffled against point 1 above
I dint get your point here

CCA to COPA allocation cycles with cumulative tracing factors

Hello
we are looking for a functionality to use tracing factors but cumulating forward and not backwards : hereafter the example.
Cost occur on cost center in month 1, 2 and 3. We would like to allocate these costs based on the generated revenue in month 2, 3 or more.
Tracing factors Sales Quantity seem only to work for past sales up to the current period. We have systematically unallocated costs in month 1 as the Sales in COPA only occur in following months.
Has anyone already encountered this ?
Thanks for your help
Best regards,
Philippe Meyer

I doubt cumulative ytd allocation is possible in KEU1. The 'cumulative' indicator in the KSU1 header screen, is not visible in KEU1.

Batch derivation with fields in receiver search strategy Rule.

Dear All,
In receiver search strategy rule i wanted to give a character, but when i do so i get the below error message.
Instead of the characteristic , use the field
Message no. VBDRV011
Diagnosis
The characteristic you entered is assigned to an object characteristic and batch field .
System Response
Object characteristics cannot be changed.
You must make changes to the corresponding batch field. These are then copied automatically to the classification.
Procedure
Instead of using the characteristic , use the field
Now this because in the character additinal data (TCode CT04) Value is coming from Table Name: MCHA and Field Name: CHARG.
Hence I decided to use the field CHARG in receiver search strategy rule. But when I did so i got the following error message
This field does not exist or is not allowed for derivation
Message no. VBDRV009
Please suggest as to how do i bring the filed in?
Regards
Vinod

Hi Vinod,
Batch derivation is used to transport characteristic value from one batch (Sender batch) to another Batch of Header material (Receiving Batch) during Production / Process Order Execution.
Now field which you have assign CHARG is non another but it is field of batch No.itself and it is not possible to change Batch No. of Receiving Batch because it is already assign and can not be change.
You can use only those characteristic or fields which represent the characteristic of Batch for example Shelf life expiry, manufacturing Date etc.

SKF as a Tracing Factor for an Overhead Cost Assessment to PA

Hi,
I am trying to use a Statistical Key Figure as a user defined tracing factor for a periodic settlement (KEU5) of overhead costs into PA.
However I am running into difficulties trying to configure this.
Has anyone out there know how to do this and give me some pointers
I am getting an error message GA733. Incidentally I get the same error message when trying to perform a similar settlement in CCA using KSU5.
Im using ECC6.0
Many thanks.

Hi Dawn
Not clear about your requirement... You have captured expenses in IOs? or In Cost Center?
Your question is bit confusing as you want to capture SKF against IO, but you said you want to allocate cost centers.. So, I am confused
You can capture SKF against IO in KB31N... If you want to allocate expenses from IO based on SKF to COPA - use note 605281 so that IOs can be used as senders in assmt or dist cycle...

Tracing factor

Hi Friends,
In assessment cycle, if skf is used as tracing factor, how can I see this setting of skf in the cycle?
How does an SKF work?
Is my understanding correct , as described:
1. Canteen is used by 3 departments .
2. Each department has the following number of employees:
Dept A : 10
Dept B : 15
Dept C : 20
Using the above ratio, is cost allocated using skf of employee numbers simply as follows:
Cafeteria cost $1000
Cost allocated to Dept A : [10 / (101520) ] * 1000?
likewise for the rest of departments?
Is it just like what I described above? Kindly confirm for me if I am correct.
regards
Markus

Yes, it's exactly works in the same way. SKfs can be displayed using CCA reports or else during run time of assessment cycle in the 'tracing factor'

Re:Tracing Factor - SKF

Hi All,
I would like to know whether we can use the numbers with decimals as tracing factors in SKF (cost allocations).
What is the maximum and minimum numbers we can use in tracing factors
Thanks,

Using "string-length" in STANDARD receiver determ xpath rule in PI 7.11

Hi
I have a situation, where I need to call one system, if the businesspartner value is 6 characters long and call an other system, if the length is different from 6 characters.
I am trying to use the standard receiver determination by entering this rule, but it does not work:
(string-length(/p1:ValidateUserRequest/Businesspartner)) = 6 -> system1
(string-length(/p1:ValidateUserRequest/Businesspartner)) not= 6 -> system2
Is there no way of sprucing up the standard xpath expression in the way I try?
What alternatives do I have?
Mikael

Hi,
Please try giving the XPath expression as given below:
/p1:ValidateUserRequest [string-length(Businesspartner) = 6] system1
/p1:ValidateUserRequest [string-length(Businesspartner) != 6] system 2
Please use square brackets before "string" and after "6"...its not getting displayed in my reply...:-(

Problem in Settlement Receiver during Settlement Rule in T.code IW31/32

Hi,
We have created an Equipment Number 11001212 with Business Area 1451 / Cost center 145130100. After that when are create Order in respect to that Equipment Number through IW31.
During Settlement Rule, when we select Account assignment category CTR - Cost Center...and press F4 on Settlement Receiver column, it shows the value in respect to all Cost Centers.
We want that in settlement receiver column, values should show in respect to related cost center. (defined as per Equipment Master).
Please guide...

Hi,
Pass the Order number in AFIH to get Equipment Number (EQUNR) value.
Pass the Equipment No in V_EQUI table with Valid to date (DATBI) as 31.12.999 & get the value of ILOAN value.
Pass this value in ITOB table & get Cost Center KOSTL value.
In IWO10027 user exit, in F4 possible entry option, ABAP people can restrict the required cost center.
IWO10009 PM Order: Customer Check for 'Save' Event
Even though the user enters manually some other cost center without going for F4 option, by check that value, you can give the error message, while saving the order.
Pass the Order number in AUFK table to get Object Number (OBJNR).
Pass OBJNR value in COBRB table to get KOSTL value.
Compare both the value & you can give the error message.
Give these tables, fields & user exits to ABAP people. They can form the correct logic.
Incorporate both the logic.
Regards,
Maheswaran.
