Settlement cost element

Dear All,
I have settlement defined in pa transfer structure, if at the same time I have more than 1 cost element to settle to different value field in copa, can the secondary cost element in settlement able to settle 2 or 3 different cost element to value field accordingly?
example, i have cogs $500, freight $400 and sales $2000 cost element.
then in settlement i have a sce, this sce will have $1100. can this sce settle these 3 element to value field respectively in copa?
Thanks

Hi!
define different assignments for each category and then assign source cost elements to them.
then give value fields and select second option 2- variable amounts field, define differnt field.

Define a settlement cost element for receiver type FXA

Hi,
While settling the AUC internal order,i am gettingg the below error.Kindly advice me
Define a settlement cost element for receiver type FXA
Message no. KD506
Diagnosis
In allocation structure A1 (controlling area AFCO), you did not define which cost element should be used when settling costs/revenues of the sender. Nor did you define receiver type FXA.
Procedure
Assign a different allocation structure to the settlement sender (-> Master data -> Settlement rule -> Goto -> Settlement parameters), or maintain allocation structure A1.
Thanks
Supriya

Hi Supriya,
Go to SPRO-> Controlling > Internal orders>Actual postings>Settlement> Maintain Allocation structures & choose A1 and go to assignment, select the relevant category like raw material / consumption and then go to source, check the range of cost elements first then click the settlement cos t element and under that choose FXA and define the settlement cost element which must be created under 22 category.
After maintainig the above, you will not get the error anymore.
Thanks & Regards

Define a settlement cost element for receiver type CTR

Hi, i work for real estate company and we just implemented SAP. were on our process of closing our books and we are tied by error during PS settlement. House repair, which is an income statement account and cost element as well, are monitored in Project Systems with settlement rule set to GL. Postings will initially be posted as Project Cost WBS and will be settled to house repair GL. however, someone advised us that only balance sheet accounts should be settled to GL. Cost and expenses should be settled to Cost Center and so we changed the configuration and business process to posting costs directly to GL house repair and settlemet rule is to be settled to CTR. After the change in configurations and settlement rule, we still cannot process settlement due to this error "Define a settlement cost element for receiver type CTR". Please help, i may have missed a step in system configurations. Thanks thanks

Check in OKO6 whether you have defined the required Settlement Cost Element to the allocation structure.

COPA: Unable to settle Cost Element

Good Morning COPA Guru's-
I am learning COPA the hard way (no formal training) and I am having trouble with a particular Cost Element 500600 not settling to COPA. It looks like everything set-up correctly. In fact, the settings are identical in the other Co.code. Our users have attempted to settle several times with no luck.
Any ideas?

Perhaps you can you give a little more detail on what you are trying to do. If you are settling an order to COPA then you need to assign a PA transfer structure to the settlement profile and maintain the transfer structure. This is not company code dependent, so if this is working for some company codes and not others, then I don't think this what you're refering to.
If you are posting an FI or MM document and want the item to also post to COPA then you need to maintain a setting in t-code OKB9 for that cost element (click the profitability segment button). This is company code specific so perhaps this what you are refering to. Also, you'll need to maintain a mapping of the cost element to a value field in the PA transfer structure (structure FI), but that is not company code depending so you should already have that.
thanks,

WBS settlement to AUC - use original cost elements?

Hello gurus
We have an allocation structure which settles project WBS costs to AUC.
The issue is that it is using a single settlement cost element for all the costs going to the AUC.
I notice there is a tick box 'by cost element' in the 'Allocation structure:settlement cost elements' entry for FXA.
What is the result of using this tick box?
We would like the original cost elements in the WBS to be credited rather than the single one.
Is this possible?
Thanks everyone

Hi
- we do not have secondary cost elements posted
- we do not use budget checking
As I said, we would like the original cost elements against the WBS to be credited. The single one is causing problems because it posts in total to 55291 (as in the configuration) which does not reconcile back to the many cost elements posted to the WBS.
Is this possible?
What is the effect of the check box 'by cost element' as we do not understand the help text on this checkbox field and are not sure if this could solve the problem (or there is a downside to using this). If this is not possible we would like to know as well.
Thanks all

Settlement of internal activity cost to primary cost element.

Hi Gurus,
My client has a urgent requirement to settle the internal activity cost captured through Warranty order to a primary cost element (FI), also need an offsetting entry to another primary cost element against the first one.
Note: The value should flow to COPA also.
Please suggest the way through which it can be achieved.
Best Regards,
Ramakanta

When you do settlement of the order, you can post to FI all the balance of the order.
Just configure int he peroid end closing tab of the order the settlement cost element (P&L) and the g/l account (BS- offsetting)
For sure you can do this on a internal order, i don't know about warranty order (but shall be the same). Otherwise you can first settle to an internal order and then to the desired GL account.

Paolo

G/L accounts or cost elements for maintenance order

Hi,
Can anybody explain the following.
1- What are the applications of inventory and consumption cost element / GL accounts, while posting goods issuance, good receipt and maintain service entry sheet with reference of maintenance orders' reservations and purchase requisitions? I want to know which cost element or GL account is debit and credit during every posting. And What are their impacts on maintenance order?
2- What is the purpose of "source" (cost element group) and "settlement cost element assignment" in allocation structure when we want settle maintenance order on cost center?
3- On which accounting term, the maintenance order should be settled, cost center or GL account? what is the best practices?
Regards,

Goods Issue & Goods Receipt:
In OBYC, G/L account for Inventory posting & Offset account for that Inventory posting will be maintained. Inventory posting will be BSX & Offset will be GBB.
In Material Master, valuation class will be assigned. Based on this valuation class, this entry will be taken.
Service Entry Sheet:

WBS settled cost in sales order

Hi,
We settlele the WBS to Sales order and where we can see the settled cost in sales order.
Kindly suggest.
Thanks,

Dear Sudha,
You can check if the costs are transferred from WBS element in CJI3 (you will see a credit posting for the WBS element)
You can check if the costs are debited to the Sales Order using KVBI (you wlll see a debit posting for the Sales Order item)
Note: Cost elements that you see could be a settlement cost element /original cost element based on the allocation structure used.
Kind Regards

Restricting Cost Elements in Internal Orders

I am setting up new order types for our Marketing Department. I want to ensure the only costs charged there are Marketing Costs (ie a small range of Cost elements). I've put the range into the allocation structure, but that only seems to control settlement cost Element, and doesn't stop anything I don't want coming in to the order.
Is it possible to restrict postings coming in to a range of Cost elements? Ideally, this would stop the problem at source i.e. you can't raise a Purchase Order assigned to the Internal Order with a cost Element outside the restricted range?
Is this possible? If so, could you kindly point me in the right direction?

Hi gbrandreth,
Allocation Structure, as you correctly understood, is only for Settlement transaction.
Pls try to use "Validations" for your requirement.

Default cost element unexpected OKEP

Hi Experts,
I ask for your help in the following situation.
In transaction KO88, trying to settle an order, the "Message no. KD503 - Complete allocation structure Z1" arises.
"Diagnosis :
During settlement, the system puts the sender debits into groups (assignments), which are settled using the same settlement cost element. The settlement assignment is made in the allocation structure, which is stored in the settlement rule for the sender (under settlement parameters). Cost element 5111900300 cannot be assigned to a settlement cost assignment in allocation structure Z1, and therefore it cannot be assigned to a settlement cost element."
This cost element "5111900300" is the default class for the controlling area (transaction OKEP).
The strange behaviur is that in past months the settle for this order never get to the Cost element indicated; to test the settle, the cost element was added to the allocation structure Z1, and it was found out that the FI docs refering to Down Payments are the ones that take this cost element into the settle, and it is strange because in past months the down payments in the same PO takes the correct cost class.
It is strange too that the corresponding FI doc for the Down Payment producing the error has not asociation with the Purchasing Document; that could be the reason it is not taking the cost class from the PO.
I know is a little complex, but I can not found out a note for this and support refers to this as a consulting issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi..
System response is correct because in OKEP default cost element is posted without ref of PO.
If you want to post in ref of PO don't assign any cost element in OKEP.

Settement of cost of one GL (Cost element) to one single reciever GL

Dear All,
We have business requirement that we want to settle cost of one specific GL (CELEM) to one specific GL only.
So, I have tried to map the same in Allocation structure the same relevant cost element in sender and another one in
Settlement cost element (to which this cost should settle).
But I am getting error as :Specify original cost element ('OCE'), or enter a settlement cost element".
The cost element which i am assigning as settlement cost element is already created as settlement c.Ele.
Pls help me or Is there any other way I can map the same?
Thanks & Regards,
Taral Patel

Hi Taral
What you are doing is not right.... The Settlement cost element that you assigned in the Alloc Str must be of Category 21/22... In your case, I think it is Category 01.. Is that right?
The GL to which you want to settle must be the settlement receiver in settlement rule... It should not be assigned as "Settlement cost element " in Alloc Structure
If you have posted to 5 GL accounts in Internal Order and you want to settle one out of 5 GLs to GL Account 1001, then follow the steps below
1. In your Alloc Str, tick "By Cost Element"
2. Create a Source Structure and assign it in the settlement rule
a. Create 2 assignments in the Source structure, 10 and 20
b. In the 1st assignment 10- Specify the 1 GL account
c. IN the 2nd assignment 20, specify the other 4 GL accounts
3. While creating settlement rule, create 2 settlement rules....
a. In 1st rule - Specify Settlement receiver as G/L account 1001 and choose Source Str Assignment 10
b. In 2nd rule - Specify the desired Settlement receiver and choose Source Str Assignment 20

G/L account & cost element

Pls. clarify how G/L account & cost element is utilized in case of PM orders i.e. actually how these two relate to costing in PM orders.

Hi,
Basically Cost Elements are Cost Carriers. Cost elements enable you to break down the cost associated with one cost bucket into more granular entities.
Primary Cost Element:
When cost element carriers cost between FI and CO they are called Primary, the link is established GL A/c = Cost element(Primary). Primary cost elements are like materail costs, personnel costs, energy costs... where a corresponding GL account exists in FI..to allow costs to flow...
Secondary Cost Element :
When cost element carries cost with in CO, then they are called secondary cost element.
Secondary cost elements are like production costs, material overheads, production overheads, they can be created and administered in only CO. These are used in internal cost allocation, overhead calculation, settlement transactions., it does not flow to FI...
Plant Maintenance:
Cost Elements will be linked to Value Categories. Based on that, costs will be calculated for the PM Order. Cost element creation is based on Business Requirements. For Example, if you want to see the Material Cost (without considering whether internal or external), one cost element will be defined. If you want to see the same separately, 2 different cost elements should be defined. This is apllicable for labor category as well (Internal or External).
In turn, based on cost element assignment under Allocation Structures, settlement will be done on those cost elements. In Allocation structures, Source cost elements & Settlement cost elements will be defined. Based on that, while doing order settlement, costs will be posted to concern cost elements from cost objects (Orders).

Cost elements set in KEI1 A1 Settle Production Variances?

Dear Experts,
What kinds of cost elements would be set in KEI1 If the PA transfer str. is A1Settle Production Variances?
10     Input price variance
20     Input quantity variance
30     Resource-usage variance
40     Remaining input variance
50     Mixed-price variance
60     Output price variance
70     Lot size-/fixed-cost variance
80     Remaining variance
90     Scrap
Could i say "cost elements that we can see when we do KKS1 variance caluation?
Or else?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You NEVER assign cost elements to value fields for mapping the settlement in COPA. Instead of that what you do is in the source tab for the line (eg 10 Scrap) select the radio button called ' varainces on production orders' and input the appropriate variance category eg. eg SCRP. In value field tab you would assign the appropriate value field. There is no need to assign cost elements. When you execute variance calculation the information is captured in the following fields and the same flow to COPA when you assign the variance category to value fields.
PRIV      Input Price Variance
QTYV     Input Quantity Variance
RSUV     Resource-Usage Variance
INPV             Remaining Input Variance
MXPV     Mixed-Price Variance
OPPV     Output Price Variance
LSFV     Lot Size Variance/Fixed-Cost Variance
REMV     Remaining Variance
SCRP     Scrap
The variance calculation is not just a simple difference between the cost elements it is also related to quantity as well.

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?
