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.

Display document of the results analysis for Project

Hello expert,
I'd like to know if a transaction exists to display the document for which I can find the number in the S_ALR_87013572 Project results report and which is linked to the displayed line items.
Any idea?
Regards,
Céline O.

Hello,
I'm looking for a transaction to display the document which is created for the calculation of the results analysis.
We can find the number of the document when we run the KKA2 transaction : Menu/ Resutl Analysis/ Display Line Items of result Analysis.
That document number is also shown in the S_ALR_87013572 Project results report and I'd like to find a way to display it easily ((like FB03 for the accounting document, for example) by using the document number only.

Result analysis for sub-items on SD-order

Hello,
I would like to know, whether also the document flow for subitems is being checked while executing result analysis.
Example:
We have got an SD order, a higher-level item and a sub-item.
Both of them have assigned the same result analysis key. Within this key it is defined in customizing (OKG3), that the Sales Order Structure is A-"Summarize Plan and Actual Data of Subitems on Highest Item"....so the result analysis for the sub-item is being performg via the higher-level item.
The higher-level positions is already completed - the delivery is made and also the invoice is created.
The sub-item is not completed - neighter delivery is made nor the invoice.
While executing the result analysis for the higher-level item, the status FNBL (final billing) is recognized and all cost are settled from WIP to CO-PA.
As far as I know, the document flow should be checked withitn the result analysis and based on this the status should be recognized.
Therefore It seems, that only the document flow from the higher-level item is being checked. If also the document flow from the sub-item is checked, there would be no way to get the status FNBL as the sub-item is not complete.
Is it SAP standard delivered behaviour?
Thanks in advance
Peter

Thanks Waman,
I have tried to delete the result analysis key from the sub-item, but still the same result in result analysis...
Could you tell my the consequences from the 1A setup from the note? It is adviced withitn the note to not use the 1A setup. But we use this and it works fine. Just some messages during the result analysis, that it could not be performed for sub-items, but this has no influence on the values.
Regards
Peter

Results analysis for sales orders- actual costs/ revenues - (kka3-kkak)

Hi, i have a problem when I execute the individual results analysis for sales orders (kka3) I can see actual revenues and actual costs, however when I execute the collective processing (kkak) for the results analysis I don´t see these (actual revenues and costs). Is it normal? How can I see these in the collective processing?

Could be one of these possibilities:
1) Controlling Area set is wrong
2) You're input parameters are insufficient to get that sales order. Check Order Type etc you input in the main screen
3) The master data is wrong which is not allowing the link to the Sales Order. You would have to check each field thoroughly.
You will have to probably do a lot of checks before you resolve this. This isn't normal btw....you should see all Sales Orders
Assign Points if useful....

Results Analysis for Sales Orders

Hi
When i am calculting Results Analysis for Sales Orders as a part of Month End Closing Activities there are some errors for few orders...
Msg Type: E
AppAr: KJ
MsgNo: 216
Message Text: Planned Cost for Valuation are 0. Please Check the Object.
Can any one tell me what might be the error..
Thanks in Advance..
Sivaram

Hi,
The error is offen caused by one or possible more than one of following statements:
- the delivery block of the order is set
- the billing block is set
- the schedule line ( confirmed quantity ) is missing
- the position has been cancelled
- price condition is missing
In case no one of the mentioned options wouldn''t help, set the position status to technically completed, if the position is processed as well ( delivery, invoice, etc. ).
We often face this kind of issue
Good luck

Result Analysis for Refurbishment order

Hi Experts,
Could you please explain, can we calculate result analysis for refurbishment orders, I have created the RA key wip cost element ,selected internal and service orders w/o revenue in OKG9 and other WIP setting, I have assigned this TA key to order type in OIOF, I have created one refurb order, released and confirmed the order, now I have to do month end activity like RA calculation in KKA1 and than settlement.
When i am trying to execute KKA1 I am getting this message " Results analysis data was not changed
Message no. KJ240"
Could you please advise me how I need to fix this issue.
Appreciate if you can explain the month end process for refurbishment order in detail.
Regards,

Hi,
The default settlement rule for refurbishment ordrers is FUL rule to material. This type of rules defines the business scenario where the actual costs are settled only after the order is delivered or technically completed. In such cases the most used solution to monitor costs incurred on the order is to assign a results analysis key to the order and compute the so-called work in process (WIP). WIP (if computed) is equal to the actual costs on the order and it is posted to a WIP account when settling the order before DLV or TECO. When the order is delivered or technically completed, WIP calculation reverse WIP in CO
and the consequent settlement post this WIP cancellation to FI. Simulateously, the actual balance of the order is settled to material.
Check your customizing in OKG9 for the RA version ; have you set flag 'transfer to FI' ?

Waman

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

Profitablity Analysis for Project & WBS

Hi,
I am new to PS. I want to know can we see the profitablity at the project level & at the wbs level. If yes then how will be the revenue data will flow from sales. If any document available pls mail me [email protected]
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mahendra

Hi,
Project profitability can be obtained at project as well as WBSE level. You need to go for Result Analysis functionality to get project revenue irrespective of billing at WBSE level. Revenue data can flow as follows.
1. Planned Revenue: Sales price from sale order & this will be planned revenue of the project.
2. Actual revenue: On billing & generating Invoice actual revenue will be posted.
3. Calculated revenue: Based on valuation method used in RA Key, calculated revenue will be obtained at projects.
There is no standard transaction / report on project profitability. You can use the report (S_ALR_87013542 - Actual/Commitment/Total/Plan in CO Area Currency) where cost / revenue details & profit of the project can be obtained.
Hope this will help you.

Results analysis for POC method with statistical cost element

Hi,
We are testing ETO (engineering-to-order) scenario With valuated
project stock and cost based POC RA method.
Inventory is updated during external procurement and we have used
statistical cost elements (Cost element category - 90) for inventory G/L.We want to use a
Result analysis method which considers this statistical cost elements
for calculating POC.For this purpose we have implemented SAP Notes
616960, 616869 and 78420.
In short, as per SAP note 616869, we created a customer enhancement
project for customer enhancement 5 of the results analysis (see Note
H78420). We copied the source code for customer enhancement 5 of the
correction instructions of note 616869 and then implemented SAP note
616960 to read the statistical actual costs.
Then we included the statistical cost as actual costs - Category K in
OKG4.
The system is doing POC and revenue in excess of billing calculation
correctly after taking into consideration the posted statistical cost.
During settlement of RA (CJ88), system is not giving effect to
inventory value. On settlement of RA, revenue should be recognized but
at the sametime the inventory represented by statistical posting should
be consumed(COS). The system should post a P&L posting which reduces
the inventory (representing statistical cost) and updates the actual
costs on settlement.
In our example, Statistical actual
posting is of USD 57150, planned revenue USD 100000 and POC is 70.27%.
Revenue in excess of billing comes to USD 70265.60. Recognisation of
revenue of USD 70265.60 is not correct as actual consumption is yet to
happen. The correct posting in FI should be revenue of USD 70265.60
along with COS of USD 57150.
Please suggest why on settlement the system is not posting the COS
along with revenue recognised?
Thanks,
BK

Hi Bijay,
We are in a similar situation in one project. Did you get any solution to the problem you posted here? If you can share it, please.

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.

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

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
