Sales accounting with segmentation

How does one set the financial integration using segmentation of a sales invoice
based around the following
The Item group the item belongs to
The Customer Group the customer belongs to
The sales Oder Number
and do this in an automatic fashion.
John

Hi John,
Account segmenmtation cannot be used based on ItemGroup, Customers like you expect.
The actual function of the account segmentation is to handle muliple locations (branches) of a company accounts can be maintained as single chart of accounts.
For example,
Let's a company is having four branches and if you want to know the journal postings/GL postings based on the each branches then you can use account segmentation.

Cost of sales accounting & period accounting

Hi folks,
I want to know the difference between cost of sales accounting & period accounting. where do we use them and which is preferable. thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vijay

Two accounting methods used for generating profitability statements are the cost-of-sales method and the period accounting method. Applying either method to a given set of business transactions under a given set of laws yields the same bottom-line result (profit) in concept. The difference is in how the overall profit and loss picture is presented.
     Companies must choose to use one of these methods for generating their legal financial statements. <b>The choice is often determined by country-specific legal requirements.</b>
     Cost-of-sales accounting
     With this method, the emphasis is on matching the revenues for goods and/or services provided (the value that a company gains as a result of sales) against the related expenses for those items (the value that is lost when products are transferred out of the company). Therefore, this accounting method displays profit and loss information in a manner optimized for conducting margin analyses, and as such it is optimal for the sales, marketing, and product management areas.
     Period accounting
     With this method, the emphasis is on summarizing the activity and situational change over a period of time, for a given organizational unit. Therefore, this accounting method presents the revenues and primary expenses that have been incurred during a given period of time and the changes in stock value levels, work-in-process, and capitalized activities. As such, it is optimal for the production and profit center areas.

Substitution for "Cost of sales Accounting" not working with cycle-trx KSC5

Hello togehter,
I have a problem that it seems that a created Substitution for "Cost of sales Accounting" is not executed in our System when running a cycle for Indirect Activity Allocation (Trx. KSC5).
Now I want to debug the Indirect Activity Allocation but I don't know how those Substitution Steps are generated as code that I can set a breakpoint when executing the cycle with Trx KSC5.
I want to try a trace when activating the substitution with transaction OBBZ but I'm not able to analyze in which Forms/Functions the Code is generated.
I also saw some OSS Notes that there are problems with "Cost of Sales Accounting" but I don't know concretely what to do to solve that special problem.
Kind regards
Udo

thanks for your answer.
I added the filed FKBER in table VWTYGB01.
Now I can select field "functional area" for CO Substitution.
nevertheless substitution does not work and set functional area on Dummy FB 9990 for CO postings to CO-object without Functional area.
Thats curious because I maintained exactly the same Substitution on an other SAP System (IDES Test System) and here it works.
Any ideas?
Are there further settigs required after maintenance of table VWTYGB01??
Thanks in advance

Kindly anyone of you resolve this issue.

Segment Reporting and Cost of Sales Accounting

Hi Experts,
Will there be an impact if we won't activate cost of sales accounting but we activated document online splitting and segment?
Thanks.

Hi,
They are different. Cost of Sales Accounting requires the functional area to be assigned or a subsitution rule activated.
Hope this helps.

SALES RETURN WITH REFERENCE GL accounts

Hello SAP Gurus
when we do salesreturn with reference it will pick the same pricing procedure in returns and the accounting document in credit memo will be a reverse to same gl as in normal pricing procedure
eg customer dr    123
     sales ac                 cr   222
     bed                        cr   333
     ecess                    cr    444
     sheces                  cr    555
     vat                         cr    666
In returns with refernce the same entry will get reversed
eg customer cr   123
     sales ac                 dr   222
     bed                        dr   333
     ecess                    dr    444
     sheces                  dr    555
     vat                         dr    666
But my client requremnt is instead of sales ac 222 he wants a new sale return ac to be debited with new GL 232 but in scenario sales return with refernce its looking impossible to me
Can any one guide me on this is there ne other way out HERE I AM ONLY ADDRESSING SALES RETURN WITH REFERENCE

Hi - try this out -
copy your existing pricing procedure to new one
(eg pric proc zvva01 to zvret01)
for zvret01, assign new gl account determination as required
assign zret01 to billing type for returns
try it out and see if yoiu can make it work

OKB9 - Cost of sales accounts assigned to profitability segement

Hi All,
I am brand new in an SAP team and I want to understand how OKB9 works and how I could control it.
I want that all Cost of sales accounts ( included cycle count adjustment, difference when posting MIRO ) are posted to profitability segment.
At the moment account for cost difference between inventory price and invoice price is defined in OKB9 with a default cost center.Can I change that to PSG ?
Also if I define the accounts as PSG, how can I prevent people from booking manually to cost center for example on those accoutns where I only want profitability segment bookings ?
Hope this is clear enough to receive good help.
Thanks
Stéphane

If you dont want people to post to a cost center you can control this via the FSG (Field Status Group)
This is linked to the GL account, and defined at posting key level.

Item Interface error - "The Cost of Sales Account specified is not a valid"

A week back we migrated from 11.5.10 to 12.1.3
Since then, many items are failing in Item Interface with the error "The Cost of Sales Account specified is not a valid account or has expired in organization ITEM MASTER INV."
Item Master being the 'Inventory master organization'. I checked the cost of sales account & sales account. and they are Valid also their corresponding segments are valid in their respective value sets.

Please help.

The Cost_of_sales_account & Sales_account as defined in the MTL_PARAMETERS are different from those in MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B for the corresponding item. The values for these accounts in the interface tables are same as that in the MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B table and hence not same as those defined in MTL_PARAMETERS.
Actually we have a Custom trigger on the MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B table which updates these accounts, once the item is created in the Master Organization.
To verify this issue, I updated the accounts on the MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE table to match with that of MTL_PARAMETERS. Ran the 'Item Import', now those records are processed.
Does this means that, the Interface is validating the cost_of_sales_account & sales_account to match with that of the 'Organization' ??.
But we never had this issue in 11i. Is this a part of R12??

How settlement rule will be created for Sales order with cost object

Dear Experts,
We are using product cost by sales order with valuated stock. In addition we are not using COPA
We also consume some materials at sales order level and at the end of month we want to do the result analysis and settlement for the same amount. In this case can any on explain how system will behave regarding settlement of sales order cost and what entries will get pass in the system.
In our case we have done below activities...
we have created sales order,
All production order activities completed till final GRN including month end activities
Material consumption against sales order
Result analysis executed
At the time of sales order settlement, system throwing error (Sender doesn't have valid receiver, please create settlement rule for sender object)
Then i checked in sales order there sales order settlement rule not defined.
I guess this settlement rule need be generated by system automatically. If not, please let me know the process of it.

HI kishore
the reason is that sale order always carry the revenue and production order and production period carry the cost .
cost you can settle to the Material and even management want to be settle the cost to material only in production order OR period
but in sales order when u sell the product it carry the revenue not the cost and management want see and analysis based on profitability segment are profit center level .
Prerequisites
If CO-PA is active, the system generates a settlement rule when you create the sales order. The settlement rule determines whether data is settled to other objects or other areas in Controlling. In accordance with this settlement rule, the relevant data is settled to CO-PA.
If CO-PA is not active, create a settlement rule. This settlement rule that you create manually normally contains a G/L account as a receiver (such as 399999). You can also settle costs and revenues or results analysis data to objects with revenue.
You can also settle the cost of sales calculated in results analysis to a fixed asset or a cost center. To do this, you must add to the allocation structure the results analysis cost elements under which the cost of sales is updated to the order.
The settlement rule includes a distribution rule for the sales order item. The distribution rule is made up of a settlement receiver, a settlement share, and a settlement type:
The settlement receiver (such as profitability segment or G/L account) specifies the object to which the actual costs and revenue of the sales order item are settled. The settlement receiver can be proposed through the settlement profile.
The settlement share defines the percentage or the equivalence numbers used to distribute the costs to the individual settlement receivers. The settlement share for sales order items is usually 100%. A settlement share of 100% is preset in the system.
The settlement type specifies full settlement of the sales order item. This ensures that all the data on the sales order is available for results analysis.
Settlement still takes place in each period. The revenues and the cost of sales are transferred to CO-PA by period, and the work in process and the reserves are transferred to FI.

COPA - Multiple Sales Order with one wbs element. COPA does not reference

COPA - Multiple Sales Order with one wbs element. COPA does not reference of reference of sales order.
Hi All
Currently we are in process of implementation of project related to Club Service for one of the client.
Concept of this project is - there is "X" company engaged in supporting the different shared services for their client e.g. Client IBM - Shared Support Services of IBM is
u2022     IDM
u2022     Software Installation
u2022     Help Desk
u2022     Maintenance
Co.. "X' is performing these services for IBM.    So for Co. "X" - IBM is one engagement. Like this way Co. X is performing such activities for many companies e.g. microsoft, HP, ABN AMRO etc.
Objective - Get the consolidate report from COPA (Customer wise/services wise/sales order wise e.g. IBM/HelpDesk/10002/10).
We propose a solution to create a project for each engagement and with WBS element. Each WBS element of different services e.g.
Project IBM Inc. 100.100
WBS Element    100.100.IDM
WBS Element    100.100.SoftIns
WBS Element    100.100.HelpDesk
WBS Element    100.100.Maintainance
For this engagement (IBM), we are creating a sales order with line items (for services) and account assignment is WBS element. In a sales order, there may be two lines for one services.   In a particular period, there are many such sales orders for this engagement... Milestone billing/period billing is used depending upon the services rendered.
Now Cost Object will be WBS Element. So cost and revenue will posted to WBS and from this it goes to COPA. In a month of May 2009 two - sales order is booked with three different line items with account assignment is WBS element.
Sales Order Line Item No.....Item                  Account Assignment                      Revenue
10000          100     IDM      100.100.IDM              1000
10000          200     HELPDESK      100.100.HelpDesk              2000
10000          100     Maintenance      100.100.Maintainance         3000
Another Sales order booked with two different line items
10000          100      IDM     100.100.IDM          3000
10000          200      HELPDESK     100.100.HelpDesk          4000
Cost will be booked directly against WBS element.
In sales order level, there is no profitability segment, as cost object is WBS element.
Billing, revenue will be posted directly to wbs element, from this revenue and cost of sales goes to COPA.
Now in COPA,
1.There is only one line for WBS element ex. 100.100.IDM with revenue 4000 (combing both the sales order)
2.There is only one line for WBS element ex. 100.100.HelpDesk with revenue 6000 (combing both the sales order)
3.There is only one line for WBS element ex. 100.100.Maintainance with revenue 4000
In above case 1 & 2 we will not have reference of sales order and sales order line item in COPA table. There is only one line for this. So we can not have reporting to sales order level.
Is there any way by this the reference of sales order and sales order line will come in COPA for case 1 & 2.
Please help in this issue.

Hi,
For these case (multiple materials with different characteristics); have you consider going to next level of WBS Elements. Meaning; lets say currently you are assigning WBS "Engineering (which is a level 2 WBS)" to all the items in SO. Instead under "Engineering" create 2 or 3 level 3 WBS Elements as E1, E2 etc and assign them 1:1 to your sales order line items. This would eliminate the exit as welll as complex development option. And also will let you get all the data in COPA and in turn you can pull to BW as well for reporting. Just a thought.

Sales orders with credit issues taking availability stock

Hi,
I am doing confirmation using Global ATP in APO. The confirmation is well done, but the confirmed quantity for sales orders with clients that have credit issues is taken the available sotck for other sales orders with ok clients that I want to confirm the quantity they ordered.
For example:
Stock: 10 PC
Client A order 15 PC and 10 are confirmed, but the ordered is retained becuse of credit issues with client A.
Then client B order 3 PC, but nothing is confirmed because the ordered for client A is reserving the stock (note: this would be ok if client A had not credit issues).
So, I want that the 3 PC for client B are confirmed and the 10 PC not reserved for the cient A while client A has credit issues.
How could I configured, so that the orders with credit issues do not reserve stock for the incoming orders?
Thanks a lot.

Hi DB49,
thanks for the quick answer.
I checked the configuration in the R3 and seems to be fine. To prove it, I disconnect APO and did the availability check in the R3 system and it is working fine; the orders quantities that are blocked because of credit issues, do not reserve stock for incoming orders.........son new incoming orders are well confirmed.
But after connecting APO the problem continues. I checked the next points.
In R3 transaction CO09: takes to the APO screen and you see the ATP available quantity OK (do not consider the quantities of the credit issues orders). But at the moment that you make the order (VA01) it does not confirm any stock and if you select the line and go to the ATP screen (the same you get from the CO09) the quantities of credit issues orders are taken into account..the ATP availability quantity changes from the first going directly from the CO09.
What could it be?
Note: it was working fine with APO, I started to have the issue after implementing note 1262475 in APO. This note was becuase the BAPI_APOATP_CHECK was not brigning any value for the ATPQTY_***.
Thanks a lot!!!

Create a Sales Order with Reference to Contract using IDoc / LSMW ( AFS )

Hi Gurus,
I need to crate a Sales Order with reference to a Contract. I need to upload Sales Orders with reference to contract via LSMW.
So far, I've been able to create the Sales Order with ref to contract. But, the Sales Order Quantity is not getting deducted from the Original Qty in Referred Contract ( When try to create another Sales Order referring to the same Contract.) When a Sales Order is created manually, this is working fine.
Please tell me if I've missed some parameter which stopping it create the link to exact schedule line ( Sizes level )
The Details of the IDoc which is been created via LSMW are as follows;
Message Type: ORDERS
Basic Type     : /AFS/ORDERS05
Process Code : ORDE / DELO
( Tried with both process codes. But the Identification is the same for both: IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS )
*_In Header;_
Segment : E1EDK02 - IDoc: Document header reference data *
Qualifier : '043' - Vendor Contract Number ( Tried with ' 005' - Customer Contract, but it's not working )
Contract Order is mapped for field BELNR
*_In Item;_
Segment : E1EDP02 - IDoc: Document Item Reference Data *
Qualifier : '043' - Vendor Contract Number ( Tried with ' 005' - Customer Contract, but it's not working )
Contract Order is mapped to field BELNR
Line Item of the Contract is mapped to field ZEILE
I also tried passing the Schedule line of Contract in Segment : E1J3P01 AFS IDoc: Doc.item general data
to following fields;
J_3AETENV
J_3AVGETE
/AFS/UETENR
Still its not getting updated in the VBEP also..
Please help me with regard to this. Points will be awarded for your valuable contribution.
Thanks.

Hi,
This issue is been resolved.
One of my friend helped me with resolving this issue..
Once the below mentioned configurations were done on SPRO, the Sales Order was created with reference to Contract and the Qty was reflected when tried to create a new Order referring the same contract.;
u2022     SPRO --> SD -->Sales --> Sales Documents --> Sales Document Header --> Define Sales Document Types --> Field : Outline agreement message; from blank to u201CBu201D.
u2022     SPRO -->SD -->Sales --> Sales Documents --> Sales Document Header --> Maintain Sales Document Types for AFS --> Field : Outline agreement message; from blank to u201CAu201D

EDI: creating a sales order with reference to contract

Dear gurus,
we would like to create a sales order with reference to a SD contract from an ORDERS IDoc.
OSS say we have to populate the E1EDx02 segments with the contract number to do this.
We tested this in our system by manually editing the incoming IDoc and this is what we found:
- qualifier u201C005 : Customer Contract Numberu201D set and BELNR = u201Cthe customeru2019s outline agreement number in his MMu201D (= normal MM behaviour) -> reference is not processed at all, sales order is created without reference
- qualifier u201C043: Vendor Contract Numberu201D set and BELNR = our contract number in SD -> Sales order successfully created. BUT where can I store an external outline agreement number in MM so that the BELNR in the IDoc is populated with it?
- qualifier u201C058: Customer Contract Numberu201D set and BELNR = the customeru2019s outline agreement number in his MM -> Error:
The system could not determine a contract number
Message no. VG226
Diagnosis
The system could not determine a contract number for the selection criteria: external contract number 5100000020 and customer number 0044000004.
This error appears although we maintained the external number 5100000020 in the PO number field (VBKD-BSTKD) in our SD contract.
Could anyone please explain what we do wrong?
Cheers
Alicia

Hi again,
@Lakshmipathi: Thank you, but it is VG226, like I wrote. But still, the OSS note is interesting: "You create a sales order with reference to an MM contract using EDI." Where's the sense in that? Why would I ever want to create a sales order with reference to an outline agreement in MM???
@Rags: Sure we could do that, but I find it hard to believe that there is no standard way to do this. Especially given there are plenty of OSS notes stating that this is possible, e.g. note 562710.
Any other ideas?
Cheers
Alicia
