Results Analysis on WBS Element

Hi Guys,
Once we capture the costs on the WBS elements,
Why do we carry out the results analysis on the WBS elements?? Pls explain.
Do we carry out both results analysis and settlement simultaneously on WBS elements ..?
Pls explain.
Thanks
Srik.

Dear srikusap,
When u carry the RA  through KKAX, then u can able to see the WIP for the WBS.  That is the reason we have to run RA.

  • 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 for WBS

    I can not use POC methods, since no plan data is available. 
    The WIP must be simply calculated as the difference between cost and revenue. 
    Any hints how to adjust CCM to post WIP not as an actual cost, but as a difference with Unearned Revenue?

    Hi PS user
    For PS there is an own forum, better to place your messages in there.

  • Change Result analysis key in WBS element

    Hi Friends,
    Is it possible to change result analysis key in WBS element?
    Any thoughts/suggestions would be welcome.
    Regards,
    Soumya

    Hi Soumya ,
    Changing an RA Key in a WBS Element is easy and it just any normal activity which one can do. But the important thing is that you will have to look at the potential repurcussions which will arise because of changing the RA Key. As long as both the RA keys have the same valuation method and other relevant settings , changing would be OK. If the Valuation methods are different then there would be inconsistencies in Financial Accounting as the computation of revenues / cost of sales would be differing.
    Excercise due caution .

  • Result Analysis with transaction code KKAJ for Top level WBS element

    Hi Experts,
    we have four level WBS structure with level 1 and level 4 with all operative indicators active
    when we are doing Result analysis by using KKAJ for level 1 WBS element, System is taking all level 4 wbs elements also into consideration.
    Is there a way to run results analysis using KKAJ only for level 1 wbs elements for multiple projects, avoiding the level 4 WBS elements.
    SAP version 4.6C
    Please suggest.

  • Stastical Costs on WBS in result analysis

    Dear Gurus,
    At my client scenario, I am using valuated project stock. Normally in case of valuated project stock, actual cost does not get updated on WBS element at the time of good receipt from PO account assigned to WBS Element.
    But I referred SAP note 533207 to achieve actual cost on WBS Element.
    As per note, I have created cost element with category 90 for Balance sheet GL account (called at the time of good receipt).
    Due to this, at the time of goods receipt, statistical cost gets posted on WBS Element and seen as actual cost on WBS Element reports (This is solving our reporting requirement).
    But when I run result analysis (KKA2) on partiular WBS Element, system does not consider this actual cost (stastical cost posted on WBS Element).
    It seems system is not considering statistical costs on WBS Element in result analysis (KKA2).
    Is there any way to achieve this (consideration of stastical costs on WBS Element in result analysis)
    Thanks and Regards,
    Parimal

    Hi All,
    Thanks for your replies....I also appreciate that stastical cost can not be considered as actual cost in result analysis.
    But in case of valuated project stock, if stock is available for WBS Element and not issued to production order or any other receiver, under which category the value of WBS stock is to be shown in result analysis.
    Is there any other period end function to be carry out specifically for stock valuation or
    how to represent it in results of project period end procedures

  • 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?

  • Results Analysis cost elements

    Hello,
    The Results Analysis saves the Results Analysis data under secondary cost elements. These cost elements can be determined thru assignment to Line IDs in the transaction OKG4 (OKGA) u201CUpdate of WIP Calculation and Results Analysisu201D, or they can be determined in the definition of Result Analysis Version (transaction OKG2 or OKG9) in the section u201CCost Elements: Results Analysis Datau201D of the Extended Control.
    Could you please tell me when the system saves the Results Analysis data under cost elements specified in OKG4/OKGA and when under cost elements specified in Results Analysis Version in OKG2/OKG9 ? How do you control this?
    Best regards,
    Robert

    Hi Sarada,
    thank you for your reply.
    However in Results Analysis Version in OKG2 I see the Technical RA Cost Element only in simplified control (Costs Elements Off). In u201CCosts Elements Onu201D control I see the following Cost Elements for Results Analysis Data:
    1. Valuated Actual Costs
    2. Calculated Costs
    3. Capitalized Profit
    4. Calculated Revenue
    5. Revenue in Excess of Billing
    6. Revenue Surplus
    When are these cost elements used?
    In my KKBC_KUN report I can see some of these cost elements (1 u2013 4), but with 0 values, whereas WIP and COS/Revenue cost elements assigned to Line IDs have positive valuesu2026

  • Results analysis: any way to exclude certain cost element from calculation?

    Hi everyone!
    We are implementing Results Analysis for projects. But the client is asking if there is a way to exclude some cost elements of the results analysis calculation. We are using method 07, POC based in the project milestones.
    This is why they need this. They say that very often they they have costs higher to what they should be according to the month's billing. So they need to send the corresponding part to a WIP account. But not all the costs. They have internal costs (like the hours of internal resources) and external costs (like materials procurement or external services contracts). They only want to send to WIP the exceeding external costs. But leave all the internal costs in a cost account. So to do this we need to exclude these kind of cost elements (secondary cost elements) from the results analysis calculation. Is there any way to do this? Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Thalos.

    Hi,
    In OKG4, next to Line ID there is a field where you can set "N" which means not to include. Make this settinng for required cost elements / Line ID's and then test the changes.

  • 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

  • Technical Result Analysis Cost element - OKG2

    Hi,
    Need some inputs on Techincal Result analysis cost element(Whats the purpose and its use)
    How is it different from those which we assign in Line ids.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Cost element created for the following internal purposes:
    For calculating work in process ( WIP calculation)
    For results analysis
    Work in Process
    When work in process is calculated, the following data is updated under this cost element:
    Valuated actual costs
    Calculated costs
    For the calculation of work in process, the valuated actual costs and the calculated costs are only used for internal purposes and do not require separate cost elements. All that is needed is a technical results analysis cost element.
    Results Analysis
    In results analysis, the following results analysis data is updated under this cost element:
    Valuated actual costs
    Calculated costs
    Capitalized profit
    Calculated revenue
    Revenue in excess of billings
    Revenue surplus
    Reserves for imminent loss
    Creation of reserve
    Usage of reserve
    Value adjustment
    Results analysis data calculated by the
    POC method such as:
    POC Profit increase
    POC Profit decrease
    POC Loss creation
    POC Loss cancellation
    POC Loss realization
    Other cost elements
    Valuated actual costs for complaints and commissions
    Variances in variance calculation for collective orders
    The results analysis cost element for the results analysis data is only for internal purposes, so you don't need to create a separate cost element for each piece of results analysis data. You only need a technical results analysis cost element.

  • RA for WBS element showing RESA Status

    Hi PS experts!
    I am new to SAP and have a doubt.
    I want to know whether Result analysis (KKA2 or KKAJ) can be successfully done for a WBS element having RESA status.
    We use WBS elements to book and post Time (as per project requirement). And so, if I book and post Time on a WBS element which already has RESA status, and then try to do RA (KKA2 or KKAJ), will the RA be successful?
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Vinitha.

    Thanks for that info.
    I had this doubt because I was booking and posting Time on a WBS element (with RESA status) and yet, when I do KKA2, it shows no data; i.e. no WIP or COS. Do you know why this could happen? Why is that the WBS element shows no WIP or COS?
    Please help.
    Vinitha.

  • 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.

  • Partial WBS element with wildcard

    Hi everyone,
    Through CN43N report if i search Projects / WBS like B* or Io*, I get a result but the same search if i do in SAP Adhoc query ( SQ01 ) where wbs element is in the selection screen. I get a message that WBS element B* does't exist. How the same functionality can be incorporated in SAP query as well ?
    I am available to provide any other information you wish to analyse & to provide your inputs.
    Regards
    Gaurav Ahuja

    Hi Gaurav,
    Instead of B* you can use a range from B to BZZZZZZZZ for example, but in more complex cases like *DS*A* it can be more challenging.
    I think it is just a feature, same inconsistent between different reports.

  • WIP according local GAAP vs IFRS - only one result analysis key

    Dear experts,
    I am faced with the following issue. We use WBS-elements for long running activities. We set result analysis key on WBS-element for periodic WIP calculation. The actual result analysis key is set up according local GAAP.
    Now we want to implement parallel accounting according IFRS. Here we can use percentage of completion for valuation of our project(s).
    How can we handle two methods of WIP calculation? We can only set one resulat analysis key on WBS element?
    How do you handle this issue.
    Thanks for your reply in advance
    Regards,
    Butch

    Thanks for the quick feedback.
    Maybe some additional information:
    01 - IFRS (real time link with FI)
    02 parallell currency deprec area
    20 - LOCAL GAAP
    50 - Grants IFRS value (investment measure support area)  linked realtime to FI
    51 parallel currency deprec area of 50
    60 - Grants Local GAAP
    I already checked the SAP library and the SDN forum, but could not find anywhere how to set up the depreciation area(Grants LOCAL GAAP) to which the investment measure is not directly linked to (not the support area (50) in Tr ANVEST).
    Is it possible with only one investement key to fill the IFRS (50) & Local GAAP (60) value investment depreciation area and still depreciate them in different ways?
    Thanks again!
