Runtime Analysis in PA Assessment Cycle

Dear All,
I have run an PA Assessment Cycle in with "Flow Trace On" and "Run Time Analysis On".I have a 3 part question
A) I seek your help in understanding the following and correct my understanding(stated in small brackets) if i am wrong
     1) Before Selection (Start Time of the Cycle)
     2) After Selection (Database Selection)
     3) After Iteration (???)
     4) After Oldkey (???)
     5) After Post (???)
     6) No Of Sender Values in Database (No of Senders in my Cycle and for which Master data exists in Database)
     7) No Of Receiver Values in Database ( No of Unique Combination of Receivers in the Database CE4XXXX table)
     8) No Of Allocating Senders (Out of the Senders stated in Point 6, No of Senders that are actually sending Values)
     9) No Of Allocating Senders (Out of the Senders stated in Point 7, No of Receivers that are actually receiving Values)
    10) No Of Line Items(???)
B) When i run the same Cycle in Test Run and Update run there is a huge difference in time and the Values for the items 6~10 points also differ( i am the only one working on the test system and there is no other data posted posted apart from this) so what is the reason for difference.
C) If i am running on a HANA COPA Accelerator, will the change in the receivers (stated below) have an impact on the read time (logically yes, but need some expert opinion also)
     1) No of Characteristics (Ex: Unitil now Profit Center alone, from now on PCTR, Product, Div, Dis Chl)
     2) No of Characteristics Values (Ex: Unitill Now PRTCR Values are A,B and C From now on it will be A~Z)
Request your valuable inputs. And my apologies for a very long question.
Thanks & Regards
Surya

Hi Gaurav,
Thanks for your comment. But that is not compliant to my question. I didn't do any configuration in KEPA and assign any characteristics groups for assessment cycle. However I really don't know why only one characteristics(Product:ARTNR) is suppressed and so I cannot input any value into that characteristics for actual assessment cycle.
I will appreciate your kindly help.
Best regards,
Ivan

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.

Assessment Cycle - Detailed Line Item Report

Hi,
The users have run the Assessment Cycle for allocation of costs from one cost center to various other Cost Centers. They now want to view the line item report, giving the details of cost allocations performed and the cost centers. Could you please advise as to how can we get this report?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ragini
Thank you so much. The Report is quite valuable in analysing the results of assessment cycle and cost allocations. (Points assigned).

In KEU9 - plan assessment cycle, receiver   ' company code' means what

Hi
In KEU9,    plan assessment cycle for copa,   in RECEIVER there are many eg...product, WBS , company code.
How does the assessemnt   happen for   receiver ' company code'
Thanks

HI,
To reflect all the actual costs from Overhead Cost Controlling in Profitability Analysis, you need to transfer the cost center costs which are not directly attributable to the production process. You can transfer these costs to any profitability segments you wish and thus assign them to any level of your contribution margin hierarchies.
That way you can assign them to the level that best reflects the cause of the overhead.
For example, you can assign the costs that arose in the marketing for a certain customer group to that particular customer group in CO-PA. Similarly, the fixed costs and the excess costs in production should be assigned to the products or product groups that caused these costs.
If you assess the overhead costs to Company Code level, then in your KE30 report these costs are available at Company code level which you can't drill down to lower level.
Hope this helps.

COPA Assessment Cycle using KEU5 for multiple controlling areas

Hello All,
There is an organization with operations in several countries. There is a separate controlling area for each country. There is one controlling area, for instance, for Germany and another for Netherlands.
A problem is encountered while executing transaction KEU5 for multiple controlling areas in parallel. For instance, when one user from Germany executes KEU5 for an assessment cycle for Germany controlling area and at the same time another user from Netherlands tries to execute KEU5 for a cycle for NL controlling area, the user from Netherlands encounters an error message u201C'Cycle XXXX 01.02.2008 cannot be started because run group 0000 is locked'.
Apparently SAP allows assessment cycles for exactly one controlling area to be executed together. This poses a problem since the organization plans to implement SAP in several other countries (There will be one separate controlling area for each country as per the organization structure adopted by the company).
Any ideas, views or suggestions on the aforesaid issue would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Soumya

Hi Soumya,
Did you find any text in SAP Documentation saying that "SAP does not allow cycles belonging to different controlling areas to be executed at the same time"...?
Pls find the following text from SAP Help...
Parallel Processing of Cycles of an Allocation Type
Use
Parallel processing of cycles results in considerable time savings. To process cycles of one allocation type in parallel, they must be assigned to different cycle run groups.
You define the cycle run groups in the cycle header data. You also assign cycles to the cycle run groups in the header data.
To process the cycles of a cycle run group in parallel, start the cycles one after the other, if required, in different sessions.
You are carrying out a cross-company code cost accounting and want to perform the actual assessment in the individual company codes in parallel. Create a cycle run group for each company code and assign the appropriate cycles to these groups. You can then carry out the actual assessment in the individual company codes in parallel.
When you execute a cycle, you can start a consistency check. The system checks whether you are allowed to execute the selected cycles in parallel.
Though I didn't come across such requirement, I feel, my earlier suggestion will work out...

Analysing details of SQL trace and runtime analysis for a report.

Hi,
I am trying to tune the performance of a Z ABAP report for target group export. A brief overview of what is done in the report is the retrieval of BP details present in the Target group including BP general, address, marketing attributes, person responsible and contact person details. As the target groups can be quite huge (around 6000 BPs), the report gives performance issues. I want to understand on how to analyse the details which I obtained from the run time analysis and SQL trace and on how to take it forward.
Any inputs in this regard would be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Anushree

In Runtime analysis Look for
ABAP - In your ABAP code
DATABASE - It shows the performance of your SELECT statements in your program.
Just check how much % it is showing for both.
Check for following in your code.
1) Avoid SELECT *
2) Clear internal tables values which are not required at the ending of program, as it saves memory
etc.

Cross company code posting in assessment cycle

Friends,
I developed one assessment cycle to send from Cost center A ( company code A with USD) to Receiver cost centers B ( company code B with CAD) and Cost center C ( Company Code A and USD), When I do the assessment cycle and check the details it is showing me 100% taken out of sender and assessed to B and C. But when I check cost center report of Cost center A, the credit is not same as the debits ( i made the cycle to take out 100%). When i drilled down in the credits ( sent from assessment cost element), I see object currency to be different from transaction currency ( should be the amount that needs to be credited) even though Object and transactions currencies are in USD.
Any input on why object currency value will be different from transaction currency value even though both are in USD? Is it something because of cross company posting with different currencies? Thanks in advance

Hi,
check SAPNET note 549430 it describes the system beahivour and what you can do.

Requirement
*     I need to get the cost per kg forr each plant is required in SAP
     i.e Last Column results shoulh come in SAP
*     Is there any possibility to maintain any Assessment Cycle to achieve this?
*     Suggest me how to get those results in SAP
If possible What are the senders and receivers and Skfs/ Activity Types to be maintained..............?

Hi
Assessment cycles are used to transfer costs from one cost center to multiple cost centers (KSU5) or from a cost center to multiple PA segments (KEU5). You cannot use plants in an assessment cycle.
Maybe if the data you have given is available in COPA then you get get the required info using a formula in a KE30 report

COPA Assessment Cycles and FI Period closing.

Hi Gurus,
I have question related to the COPA Assessment cycles.
We have closed the FI Period 03 and running the COPA Assessment cycles. while running the same, for few of the assesment cycles are completed and for the rest of the few cycles it is error out stating the Period is closed.
Why it is running successfully for few cycles and why it is complaining for Period closing for the others. We are on ECC 6 Version of SAP.
Error out cycles contains Cost accounts and Asset Account GL Accoutns.

Hi:
If your CO allocation has some external postings (like GL or fixed assets) or generating some intercompany documents, then it needs FI to be open also. It happens sometimes if the allocation goes external so it would need fI period to be open also. If FI is close but CO is open, it would only work for CO specific allocations and others would error out.
Please check the cycle/segment which is in error. If it is suppose to hit FI, then FI (OB52) and CO (OKP1) periods should be in sync.
Thanks.

Run PCA Assessment Cycle under New GL

I'm on ECC6.0, and I'm trying to run PCA assessment cycle using FAGLGA15, I've created the PCA assessment cycle. But I got the warning message saying " no valid sender found", I checked table FAGLFLEXA, the sender profit center has values which I posted through FB50 , anybody has encountered the same issue?
please advise.

Hi,
In NewGL, all actual data is saved under version '1' by system design. You can see this in FAGLFLEXT-RVERS.

Doubt in assessment cycle

Hi All,
I have the following doubt in assessment cycle :-
Consider the following scenario. There are three cost centres :- D015, D020 and D025 .
An assessment cycle is being created where D015 is the sender and D020, D025 are the receivers . A cost of 1,00,000 is assigned to the cost centre D015. As per the assessment cycle, the cost centres D020 and D025 will get 50% each of the cost that is assigned to cost centre D015. I created a secondary cost element 824030 and performed the assessment. After the assessment, when I reviewed the actual line item report in ksb1 transaction, I found that under cost element 824030, each of the cost centres D020 and D025 had a cost of 50,000 each . Under cost centre, D015 the net amount after the assessment was 0 .
I created another secondary cost element 825030 and performed the assessment again with 825030 as the assessment cost element, with D015 as the sender and D020, D025 as the receivers of the assessment. As per this assessment cycle too, I maintained the same percentage ratio - cost centres D020 and D025 will get 50% each of the cost assigned to cost centre D015 .
After running the second assessment cycle, when I reviewed the actual line item report in ksb1 transaction, to my surprise, I found that under cost element 825030, cost centres D020 and D025 had 50,000 each . Under D015, the net amount was 100,000 - .
My question here is after performing the first assessment, when there were no costs in D015, how did a cost of 100,000 be allocated to cost elements D020 and D025 ?
In an assessment, costs are removed from one cost centre and placed to another cost centre. When there are no costs in a cost centre, how are costs being allocated to another cost centre.
Regards,
Sushanth Hulkod

Hi,
My cost elements are different in my first and second assessment. In my first assessment, my cost element is 824030 and in my second assessment, my cost element is 825030 . In both the assessments, D015 is my sender and D020, D025 are my receivers.
When I ran the cost centres : Actual / Plan / Variance Report, the output that I see is :-
Under D015 :-
                         Actual Costs            Plan Costs              Var.(Abs)           Var.(%)
824030             100,000 -                                                 100,000-
825030             100,000-                                                  100,000-

Under D020 :-
                     Actual Costs            Plan Costs                Var.(Abs)           Var.(%)

825030              50,000                                                    50,000

825030              50,000                                                    50,000
Debit                 100,000                                                   100,000
My question is in the second assessment, how is D015 assessing the cost to receivers D020 and D025 when it does not have any cost with it ?

Cost center Group & Assessment cycle

We are running CC reports for CC groups X and Y - Report GR55, Report group 1000 - Run in both currencies Pesos and USD by running in both currency modes.
Requirement:
1) How can we see the net balance in CC reports after assessments out = 0 in both Pesos and USD currencies.
2) Where we can see the link between Cost center Group and Assessment cycle.
Thanks,
Raju

Hi,
1) You will see the credit entries in the report after the assessment is run. Here, report should have configured in such a way, you can see both debit and credit entries.
2) If you have assigned the KSB1 Actual cost line report to the report, you can doubte click and see from which cost centers the values have flown through assessment.
Trust this helps much!
Cheers!

Assessment cycles, gr55 and ke30

hi there,
we have many assessment cycles, cost objets, report painter, Z and COPA reports. I am sure we cant transport master data but can have transport requests for config in IMG. Can we transport the sets/ reports from DEV-QA- Prodn? I am referring to gr31/gr51 and COPA reports?
Also can we transport the assessment cycles along with their segments?
Thanks.

Hi,
Report Groups and reports in report painter can be transported from DEV-QA-PRD. You can do this using T.code GCTR.
You can also transport sets from DEV-QA-PRD. Go to GS02 Change sets. Mention the set you want to transport and then go to utilities in menu bar. Under utilities you will have the option of transport which have transport request has sub node.
Please assign points if useful.

Assessment Cycle for Planned Cost

Hi,
I have production cost centers and dept cost centers for which cost center planning has been maintained in KP06. I have maintained assessment cycle for planned costs with planned skf. When I run the cycle, system is apportioning the costs based on the factors maintained.
However on execution, without test tun, the system is posting the costs to the receiver cost centers as Actual Costs and not Planned Costs..
Can anyone tell me what is the reason?

Hi,
Have you created ur assessment cycle in T.Code: S_ALR_87005540 - Define Assessment for Plan cost (or) S_ALR_87005742 - Define Assessment for Actual cost. Assessment cycle execution t.code. KSUB for Plant cost posting. and KSU5 for actual cost posting.
If you define cycle in S_ALR_87005540, Please check have u select Plan (or) Actual Radio button
Thanks

Runtime Analysis SE30

Hi BW Gurus,
i have my query based on a Virtual cube for BCS. I ran the query and its taking 14 minutes to give me the result. From RSRT i got the name of the program which run in the backend to generate the report. I took that program name and put it in SE 30 Runtime analysis.
ABAP - 26,100 (microseconds)--- 71.4% (I have some user exit variables).
DATABASE - 4678 (microseconds)----12.8% of total runtime
System 5799 (microseconds)--15.8% of total runtime
but the problem is I am using the same user exit variables in other queries and their response time is 3 seconds to 4seconds.
can somebody help in where is the exact problem
Q2) How to check that which SQL statements or database table is taking more time. where exactly we must put the breakpoint....
i am not at all good in ABAP.
Thanks will assign full points

Hi A.H.P,
thanks for the reply ...using ST05 do i have to first execute the query and then activate the trace or I can do it any time and later deactivate it.
Also the exit variable is that whatever the period user enters it will give the starting period of that Quarter. Like if user gives 005.2007 the data will be calculated for
period 004 (since its the starting point of the Quarter 2 [4,5,6] ) and period 005.
Yes it is derived from the other variable so the range I give is this
custom exit.. to... 0GMTO(which is fiscal year/period).
Can you please give your inputs Will assign full points
