Result Analysis Question
Hi,
I need one clarification -
Is it really required to have a revenue in project to run the RA Key.
If i have a actual cost and i want split it into to components (one is 80% and other is 20%).
Then is it possible to achieve using the RA Key?
What i heard about RA is that it hits the controlling and accounting at the period end i.e. Month end and then during the next month appear automatically on the PS object i.e. WBS without doing anything. Is it true?
Waiting for help.
Thanks
Dear,
You should configure settlement peofile and here Allocation structure in in.And PA transfer structure defines where you wnt to settle.And for distribution of settlement amount you have to define source structure and distribution rule in settlement parameter.
Here you can define the percentage of amount that you want to settle.
Only the result analysis data is avilable to settle.

Identifying Questions in Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyser
Hi All,
We have seen people requesting for identifying the Question from with in Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyser. In what way do you think Question needs to be reperesented within Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyser?
Will it useful if we show the actual thumbnail of the question itself?
Or just showing the Question text will suffice?
Thanks,
VikramMaybe you'd be better off turning off the shuffling of answers (given that it fouls up the reliability of the variable representing what you want) and use Question Pools instead.
This would allow you to get some randomisation of the questions (which is what the answer shuffling is sort of trying to accomplish) but you'd be tracking actual questions. You could have a number of variations of the same question in the pool.
Does that get you any closer to your goal? -
Results Analysis on Sales Orders
Hi Fellows,
When i am running the results analysis for Sales orders using KKAK transaction , I do not wish to see the WIP items with 0 Values.So i selected the option " Hide Orders with 0 values in Results List ".
However I am still getting the WIP items with 0 Value.
I saw the help for this and it says
" Note: In some cases individual objects may still appear in the list when both the column "Reserves for unrealized costs" (reserve for unrealized costs + reserve for complaints/commissions) and the column "Reserves for imminent loss" are a sum of multiple value fields and these value fields are checked individually for zero value ".
From the above, I came to the conclusion that the 0 value items may still come even if we check the box.
However from the above note, can anyone tell me where i can check the " Reserves for Unrealized Costs " and " Reserves for Imminent Loss " and also how can i know what are the value fields which are adding up to these columns.
Also it says the Value fields are individually checked for zero value.
Where can i see the Value fields associated with this Results Analysis and where can i see if the Value fields are assigned a value of zero.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts on this..
Thanks in advance..
SrikHi,
Check whether Note 501915 - Creation, cancellation, and usage of reserves would help.

P.S: Please post this question in FI/CO forum so that you can get answers quickly. -
Results Analysis Settle Internal Order (from CRM) - No cost element allowed
In SPRO results analysis configuration to "Define Posting Rules for Settlement to Financial Accounting" I am not allowed to use an account with a cost element. (Error: I get error KQ 119 G/L account ### cannot be created as a cost element.)
I configure a G/L account with no cost element. KO88 Settlement posts to G/L account fine; however, does not post to the internal order because the config mentioned on first line does not allow me to use an account with a cost element.
Problem: I am unable to see settlement in KOB1 report because settlement goes to GL Account, but does not post to the internal order.
Failed solution: I tried to use OKC9 substitution at KO88 to substitute the internal order number. The problem is that table AUFKV is empty when the substitution runs at KO88 settlement. I am not able to substitute the order number because the order number isn't even available in the substitution at internal order settlement.
I put a break manual break point in program GBTACCOB at the call to the substitution rule I defined. The breakpoint stops at the substitution when I run KO88 settlement; however, fields are blank. I am unable to do substitution. I know this works because I have a similar substitution on the same internal order for accounting indicator when doing an MB1A goods issue to an internal order. The break point stops there and the AUFKV data is available for substitution rule.
Question:
Any suggested solutions to to have internal order update into KO88 settlement after KKA1 results analysis would be helpfull.It is more of a reporting issue really.
The problem is that internal order settlement with settlement profile instead of results analysis does post the settlement to the internal order and does use a cost element. This is the business process the users currently have. Our users have a requirement to settle the orders weekly. This helps them find issues earlier and speeds up the month end close.
In the past we could use KOB1 and see the current balance of an internal order and see the settlement. Now that report no longer shows the settlement. How can I see what has been settled on an order and what hasn't now? -
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,
SamratHi 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.

Result analysis (KKA2)
What are the business prerequisites for the use of revenue-based, cost-based and quantity-based percentage of completion in the result analysis (KKA2)
In order to comply with accounting standards, the value of work completed on projects in progress need to be capitalized. RA is used for this purpose.
For cost based RA, first calculate the percentage of completion (POC) = actual cost / plan cost * 100
POC * actual revenue gives the revenue attributable to the work competed so far (this is called calculated revenue). Compare calculated revenue and actual revenue booked in GL. This difference in value is capitalized / accrued by SAP when RA is properly configured.
This is suitable for consturction projects.
Revenue based:
Here the starting point is revenue.
POC = actua revenue / plan revenue
calculated cost = POC * plan cost.
The difference between calculated cost and actual cost is capitalized / loss is recognized.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Result Analysis: Planned Quantity from Sales Order Quantity
Hi,
How to update SO item quantity into planned quantity in transaction KKAK ?
Is there any transaction to run ?
Our scenario doesn't require delivery or production order.
Sorry for beginner question.
Thanks,Dear Max,
We need to have a valuation method assigned through a Result Analysis key which is assinged in the requirement class of the sales order item. In that we have the customisation for the requested functionality:
Please take a look into the below link for more details:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/90/ba6f37446711d189420000e829fbbd/content.htm
We have a customisation for Profit Basis in OKG3 and it goes as below:
The profit basis specifies how the system determines the planned costs that are used to calculate the results analysis data. For example, the planned costs may be based on the preliminary cost estimate for the production order or on the sales order cost estimate.
Kind Regards

Configuring OKG8 in Results Analysis
When configuring OKG8, the results analysis key is not available for entry in the view. However, results analysis key field (ABGSL) does exist in the underlining table TKKAB. This is limiting when one wants to direct postings to different GL accounts based on the RA key. Using cost elements as a separator is not an option as categories in question are POCI and POCS and apportionment by line id is not supported. Instead the system uses the technical cost element in the RA version to direct postings to FI-GL.
any idea how to activate RA Key in this table and make the program use it to determine the reight set of GL accounts?
Thanks,
AlexHi,
The standard SAP will allow you to use this. check the RA configuration in OKG9. If still problem exist check the SAP note.

Transaction Currency in Result Analysis - KKA2
Hi,
We have a Z program to calculate WIP for projects at the end of the month. This program in turn calls transaction KKA2 - Result Analysis. We have EUR as controlling area currency and INR as object currency (CC currency). Our projects have INR as project currency but the transactions are booked in USD EUR SGD and INR. We want to calculate WIP in transaction currency.
We checked and found that COSB table is updated with values in controlling area currency EUR and object currency INR. but transaction value(COSB-WTGXX) is not updated when we do KKA2. COSB is always updated with object currency(INR) and CO area currency(EUR) while value in transaction currencies are blank.
We tried to set transaction currency as default for project with transaction RPXN- CO-OM Information System: Settings but that did not help. We checked and found that in controlling area configuration indicator 'All currencies' is selected.
Will you please let me know if there is a way to update COSB with transaction currency values with configuration changes in Result Analysis version used for KKA2 or any other means?
Thanks for your help.
With RegardsHi,
the requirement is bit surprising to me.
transaction currency is normally related to FI related transactions. Because either the you might bill to the customers in a currently other than co.code currency if it is required by the contract with customer or you might get bills from the vendor in a currency other than your co.code currency
This should not have any bearing on the controlling stuff.
When you post the values to CO, the values will be converted in to object currency and controlling area currency.
Result Analysis calcution will necessarily be in co.code and controlling area currency. There is no transaction currency involved here.
Hope this clarifies your question
Best Regards

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
MuraliHello 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.

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,
KickHi,
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.
