Hi,
If there is no posting happening in FI then there could be some thing wrong in Cost element / G/L assignment as this will play major role in carrying cost / revenue from project to settlement receiver. Please cross-check your settlement configuration as this will carry calculated revenue / cost from project to FI. Please take the help of FI/CO consultant on this matter.
After calculating revenue / cost through RA, the same will be settled to a receiver such as PSG / G/L etc. There is only one steps after RA i.e. project settlement
If you want to post calculated revenue / cost into FI then calculated result after RA need to be settled to permanent cost object. However after RA, details can be obtained at project level.
In order do settlement, you have to configure settlement profile of the project with allocation structure / PA transfer structure / source structre (if required) etc.
The critical in settlement configuration is proper debit or and credit account should be defined properly to carry out calculated revenue / cost from project to permanent cost object.
Hope this will help you.

Automatic Reversal of Result Analysis Posting

Dear Experts,
I would like to ask for suggestions in solving below case in my current project:
1. Project is created for sales of power solutions. Most of them are long-term, thus cost-based revenue recognition method is applied.
2. Result analysis with cost-based method (03) is periodically executed for project. Therefore, every month there are some revenue deferral/ accrual posting calculated based on actual cost - before the project is completely billed.
3. It is expected for revenue deferral/ accrual posting resulted from result analysis to be automatically reversed immediately in the next period (e.g. if RA is executed for July 2014, reversal posting needs to be immediately posted with posting date Aug 1st, 2014).
At first we were thinking to define new document type specifically for the result analysis posting, and perform mass reversal using F.80 transaction. But then we came to realize that result analysis entries are posted after settlement is executed -and accounting document generated from settlement transaction cannot be directly reversed in finance.
Anyone has encountered the same issue? How do we reverse result analysis posting without reversing the whole settlement transaction?
Thank you,
Regards,
Analistia

Hello,
First you need to configure the functionality from the bellow path
SPRO Financial AccountingGeneral Ledger Accounting Business Transaction  Manual Accruals  Basic Settings
Once Engine configured Accrual document can be created through the easy access menu.

Which Results Analysis Method is good for LOSS Projects?

Dear Experts,
Our client have Loss projects scenario.
for Eg. Plan Revenue_: 100,
Plan Cost__________: 120
Loss______________: = -20
Loss 20 should post in accounts at first period end closing time itself for that which Results Analysis Method can help me for it. Plz give me your valuable solution soon.
Thanks
Bhagirath

Hi,
which RA Method you are using.
If you are using method 01 then in OKG8,Choose RA Cat RIML(Reserves for Imminent loss) or if you are using 03 method then use POCL .Assign the GL accounts againt these RA cat one B/S Account and one P&L (not a Cost element).

Result Analysis for TECO status - all values are 0

Dear guru,
I've done the configuration for Result Analysis with POC method 03, for project.
There are 4 relevant status: PREL, REL, FNBL and TECO. TECO is mark as final RA.
PREL, REL, FNBL are ok, but I face problem with TECO.
In project I plan cost, plan revenue, and post actual cost through production order. There is no actual revenue.
However, when I set the status to TECO and run Result Analysis, all the value: plan cost, plan revenue, actual cost,... are 0.
I confuse why it is happen. Please help me.

And another point, actual cost can be see in report, but in RA the actual cost is 0, for also other status.
When I post actual cost through F-02, it is ok. But in this case actual cost is posted to project through confirming production order and receipt material.

Settlement in CJ88 after succesful results analysis on WBS

Dear All,
When I run CNE1 after i have estimated my PoC on my WBS project, this is succesful. I calculate the results analysis succesfully in KKA2 for my project. When i want to post the settlement of the RA, I receive errors such as "Maintain settlement rule on sender" and "the GL account needs a CO assignment".
My settlement rule is 100% PER and is maintained on every level of the WBS structure except one position which is the Receiver.
Any ideas?
Thanks Debora

Hello Debora
The Error KD 205 is issued during settlement becasue the results analysis is calculating costs of sales on line ID level.
Those costs of sales do add up to zero, but as settlement is checking on line ID level, the message is issued.
To avoid that results analysis is calculating cost of sales if you choose special function B in the valuation method (OKG3).
The system will then calculate negative WIP instead of reserves for
unrealized costs in the case of negative actual costs (see notes 365075 and 385616).
If you do want reserves for unrealized costs being calculated in the case of negative actual costs, but no costs of sales
(no error KD 205 when no settlement rule exists),
you could also change the method of apportionment in OKG3 to 'I'. The reserves for unrealized costs
will then be apportioned in proportion to the actual costs, so no cost of sales will be calculated on line ID level.
hope this helps

Result Analysis , Settlement and Revenue

Dear Gurus,
I really appreciate if you can help me in resolving the below issue.
We are using results analysis and settlement processes in our project
We want to recognize the revenue before billing.
Is there any way I can post actual revene to financial accounting before doing
billing through Settlement.
I would be greatul to you guys if some one can help me at the earliest .
Thanks,
Viswas Anantharangachar

Hi,
In my understanding this is the requirement of Revenue recognition functionality implementation. This is more SD than PS function. Please use T-Code VF44 , or VF47.
Please remember that the RR functionality was not enough stable in the ver 4.7 so you must have ECC5 in place.
Enjoy SAP.
Dont forget to give points if its useful ans.

CO-PA: Result analysis process

Hi COPA Guru,
1) Will Result analysis post WIP for FI posting or it only calculate the figure?
2) Is it Result analysis always necessary before settlement?
Thanks,
Kick

Hi,
At period-end, you can calculate WIP using Individual or Collective settlement.
The following activities relating to WIP nneds to be done at period-end:
1) Allocation of Overheads to Production/Process Orders at planned rates
2) Actual Price calculation (T-Code - KSII)
3) Revaluation of Production/Process Orders (T-Code -CON2)
4) Change Cut-off period for WIP (KKA0)
This is required to prevent the system overwriting the WIP calculations already posted till the previous period.
5) WIP Calculation (KKAX/KKAO)
This only calculates the WIP but does not post to FI.
The system calculates WIP based on the status of the Production/Process Orders. WIP is calculated on all Prod/Process Orders which do not have status DLV (Delivered) or TECO(Technically complete)
6) Variance calculation (KKS1/KKS2)
The system calculates Variances based on the status of the Production/Process Orders. Variances are calculated on all Prod/Process Orders which have status DLV (Delivered) or TECO(Technically complete)
7) Settlement of Production/Process orders (CO88/KO88)
The system posts the WIP & the Variances calculated in 5 & 6 above.
Once the status of the Orders change to DLV or TECO, system will reverse the WIP postings made in previous periods.
To answer your specific questions:
Result Analysis is the WIP calculation (KKAX/KKAO), which only calculates the WIP but does not post to FI.
Result analysis is always necessary before settlement.

Assign points if useful.

Result Analysis Settlement - Posting to FI

Hi all
I am configuring Result analysis related configuration to post WIP values to FI on period basis. I did following nodes configuration
1. Create Result Analysis Keys
2. Define Result Analysis Versions
3. Define Valuation Methods for Result Analysis
4. Define LIne ID
5. Define Assignment for Result Analysis
6. Define update for Result Analsysis
7. Define posting rules for Settlement to Finanacial Accounting
We have RA connection with Projects
After making all above configurations when we are performing KKA2 and CJ88, NO FI documents are getting posted and we are repeatedly getting message as there is no "Accrual" values.
We even not getting WIP values at KKA2, though we have eligble values at Project.
we need to fix that at high priority...
your inputs are highly appreciated..
Kindly let me know, if any further clarifications required on this.
best regards,
S. Habib Pasha.

Hi ,
Based up on the above discussion did you executed any standard cost and revenue reports against the relevant WBS elements and verified that costs and revenue are flowing properly to the project ?
In the RA are you able to see the WIP Values,Planned values and Actual values for COST and REVENUE ?
And what are the parameters you maintained in Settelement Profile ?
Thanks,
Sai.

Results analysis and settlement for projects with Sales Order

Hi Costing Gurus,
We are implementing SAP for ECO business in ECC 6.0 with SD, FICO and PS modules and we have contracting jobs which will run for longer periods. we are planning to POC method based on actual cost and Progress billing methods in projects. my understanding is that Reasults analysis will be used to calculate the WIP, Reserves, Losses etc.. however revenue has to be recognized using sales and distribution module with (SD-BIL-RR) component. How ever i have started testing this scenario in test system and i have couple of clarifications and seeking some help from experts to correct my understanding.
i have below questions.
1. KKA* . results analysis only calculates the amounts (WIP, reserves, losses etc.) or it can update the accounting.
2. i found from the blogs and online documents FI posting only happens through settlement and it specifies the Profitability segemnt should be used as receiver in Project . is it madatory to use profitablty segemnt. as we are not implementing COPA can i use any other object and what would be the impact of it.
currenty i have selected update RA key and i could find no FICO documents created with that.
3. Do i need to use Revenue recognition in SD along RA in controlling to get my accrual posting for recenues. RA can only serve Cost part of the project or it can Revenue accrual also ?
Seeking expert suggestion on this.
Thanks
Murali

Hello Murali-
To answer your questions,
1. When you perform Results analysis, it does not post any accounting documents. Results analysis only does calcuation of WIP etc and when you do corresponding settlement like CO88(production order) or VA88 (sales order), it will post accounting entries.
2. It is not mandatory to have profitability segment as a receiver. If you are using COPA, then you would need to settle it to COPA in the end. For example in case of make to order environment, sales order can be used as a cost object and hence the receiver would be a sales order where all the costs would get settled.
Hope this helps.

Projects KKA2_ Results Analysis (Int. Orders/Projects)

Hi,
I have put the results analysis key under the control tab of a WBS element. When doint the KKA2 I am receiving the follwoing message.
I want to post WIP and have done all account settings. could anybody explain the process for this periodic processing of projects how to identify WIP.
I have posted via KB15 costs on this project and now I would expect the a WIP would be identified at this amount???
Thanks Ulrike
No entered status set. No results analysis will be performed
Message no. KJ210
Diagnosis
The valuation of the order or project in results analysis depends on the
    status of the object.
In this case, the object does not have an active status entered in the
    valuation methods in Customizing for WIP calculation and results
    analysis. Consequently, WIP calculation and results analysis cannot find
    a method with which the object can be processed.
Procedure
Decide whether the object should be processed in its current state
    (indicated by its active status in status management) by WIP calculation
    and results analysis.

RA is specific to the period you run for... this is standard behaviour.
Regards

Post Cost of Sales in PS after Result Analysis

Hi SAP experts,
I'm testing SAP EC&O best practice solution at this moment.
I executed KKAJ (results analysis) and both Cost of Sales and WIP were calculated correctly.
COS: for a TECO WBS, which already have billing document
WIP: for other WBS which is still in progress.
I already saved this results analysis, however, when I execute settlement (CJ8G), I can only find the posting to FI of WIP. (Dr GL WIP account/Cr P&L WIP account). My expect is to have COS posted to FI as well (to recognize COS for the billing of completed WBS above).
Kindly help me to figure out what I was missing here? I don't know at what step COS will be posted to FI. I searched all configuration document in Best Practice but cannot find any configuration for Results Analysis & Settlement for COS account.
Thanks so much for your help.

Zeketa,
Look this with an ABAP consultant, this is an development.

Result Analysis(WIP) not posted after 4 cycle run

Hi,
Every month value is posted in Result Analysis GL account for WIP. But we found in period 10 and period 11 value is not posted Result Analysis GL account after running 4 cycle run (Overhead calculation, WIP calculation, Variance calculation and Settlement). What may be reason ??
Regards,
Samrat

Hi Christian ,
One question related to Cut-Off period regarding WIP calculation which myself and Ajay were discussing 15 days back..
Is it required to change the cut-off everymonth when we calculate WIP . In my client.. then donot do that .. but still we calculate the WIP..
Is the significance of cut-off period is to tell the system the first period to calculate WIP .. during implementation .. My client never changes that and its in a MTS ( Process Order Senario )... but calculates WIP every month.

Results Analysis for Projects

Hi Guys,
We use Results analysis for projects and also we use RA in Product Costing.
Can anyone let me know what exactly does this Results Analysis mean ( not in SAP terms ).
I am trying to look for this over help.sap.com and google but could not find information on what exactly this term means.
Also how is this related to WIP?
Please clarify.
Thanks,
Srikanth.

Dear srikusap,
Calculation WIP through the SAP, RA key will play important role. Work in process calculation is diferent from industry to industry.
In SAP RA key will shows the WIP amount while u running KKAX Transaciton Code. After when ever u do the settlement then ti will be settled to Financial Account. At that time A Accounting Document was generaged. when ever the Order Status is Teco then the provious period WIP will be reversed.
Revert back if u any calrification.

Posting Rules in Results Analysis for COSR must go to different GL

WE have "Non Valuated KMAT Sales Order Stock" scenario.
It posts COS at time of settlement of Sales Order. Everything works fine. We have a new scenario.
Currently both interco and external customer sales order posts to same COS GL at time of settlement.
Interco KMAT sales orders during settlement must post to Interco COS GL.
In OKG8 - RA Category "COSR" Key is used to post the the GL account.
I have CoArea/CoCd/RAVersion/RACategory for COSR.
Is it possible for system to differentiate and post to different GL, when settling IntercoSales Order vs Regular sales order

Hi Kala,
We had similar scenario and this what we have implemented.
created two Result Analysis keys.one for Regular one and one for Interco
created two usages one for interco business and one for regular one and which is populated each sales order line item.
based on usage,RA key populated.
If usage External : RA key "A" or If Interco "RA key "B".
1.Assign cost elements to respective line ids in OKG5 by RA key
2.Assign line id to RA cost element(31) in OKG4 by RA key(create seperate 31 cost elements for both RA keys)
3.Assign RA cost element(31) to Balance sheet and P&L accounts in OKG8 based.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,
Rau

Results analysis for a project to be settled to sales order rather than PSG

Hi Experts
My client has two company codes.
CC1 executes project construction for CC2. This is to be mapped as a customer project.
As far as project settlement is concerned, since PA is not activated, it is proposed to settle to sales order item.
In this situation, what would be effect of results analysis.
With out PA, how the postings need to be handled with WIP, Reserves, Inventory and Revenue.
warm regards
ramSiva

Hi,
I have had this problem earlier, If PA is not abailable you have put in the settlement rule as not to be settled.
And for the postings have to be managed using the GL accounts that we give in the result analysis configuration. There is not much flexibility for customization here in this scenario. But you can do as much as possible using the diffrent result analysis categories.
So for the reserves WIP inventory and revenue use result analysis category to segregate them by GL account
Thanks
