Settlement Run (MEB4)

Hi All,
I need your assistance.
My client has a requirement to have the u201Csupplier contributions and advertisingu201D condition type. But they want this to be the off- statement condition.
Unlike rebates where we post the settlement run when targets are achieved and finance easily picks up the vendor open items, there is no posting done for this type of condition type. Now the problem is that finance cannot pick up the open vendor items when they reconcile at month end.
How can finance pick up these open vendor items for this type of a condition type?
Please assist.

I had to close this question as there was no answer provided.

Asset Under Construction(AUC),During month end settlement run(via KO8G)

Hi Guys ,
please hlep on this AUC :
During month end settlement run (via tcode KO8G), if there are -ve (credit) values to be settled to an Asset Under Construction (AUC) asset which does not have sufficient +ve value in the current FY, the settlement run will prompt an error message "Balance for transaction type group 10 negative for the area 01". The TT posted via the settlement run is TT115. To get around, user has to raise a manual journal (via doc type AT) to post the -ve value to the same AUC asset via TT101. TT 115 and 101 are configured differently (see attached).
Since the Fixed Assets system does accept credit posting to AUC via a journal, is there a solution to make posting go through via the settlement run?
Regards,
Narra

You can settle the AUC value in one period and posting can be made in another period. in the same you can give the different asset value date in KO88 screen. The only limitation is this possible only if the fiscal year is same.
Give the asset value date as 15.07.2007 in KO88
Hope this will work

VA88 - Error list of settlement run displays irrelevant sales orders

Hi All,
This is a problem relating to transaction VA88 for settlement of sales orders into COPA. The error list of the settlement run is unnecessarily long since it also includes old, irrelevant sales orders that have no postings since the last VA88 run.
'Old' sales orders without recent postings on them are considered in the settlement run despite having the indicator "check trans. data" switched on in the VA88 selection screen.
What could be the reason???
Ideally, system should ignore the irrelevant sales orders (those without any transactional postings since the last settlement) if we select the "check transactional data" option in the VA88 selection screen
Any suggestions, thoughts, solutions would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Soumya

Hi Soumya
Please see below. Transaction data checks are not made in the following situations, even
if the indicator is set:
1. The sender has a results analysis key, and an accrual calculation
    was already executed. In Customizing for accrual calculation, line
    item updates are not active for a version relevant for settlement.
2. The sender has a variance key and variances have already been
    determined.
3. The sender is a capital investment measure and has the technically
    completed status. Alternatively, the sender is an investment measur
    and the settlement was started with processing type 3.
4. The settlement rule was changed since the last settlement.
5. There is a valid distribution rule for fixed amounts.
6. Both a periodic distribution rule and an overall distribution rule
    have been defined for the settlement of costs with the same origin,
    and only the periodic distribution rule was used for the last
    settlement.
Basically you should see if any of these scenarios exist in your case. Item no. 6 looks like the most probable cause. Please check them again.
Hope this helps. Let me know.

Settlement Run on Higher Level WBS

Hello Experts,
Scenarios is that I need to run settlement on 2nd Level WBSE where I have assigned asset class but my activities are linked on 3rd OR 4th Level WBS Elements due to the requirement of detailed level project planning. Cost is posted against lower level WBS Elements and settlement is to be run on higher level WBS Element.
Can I roll up the cost from lower level WBS to Higher level WBS so that settlement can be run against the asset class assigned with higher level WBS Element
Please advise. Thanking you in anticipation...
Warm Regards

Hi,
You can perform this kind of settlement in two ways based on different conditions:
1. If there is only one asset to be created from project, then instead of hierarchical settlement you can use the line item settlement to the same asset maintained in the settlement rule of superior WBS, by using settlement strategy as in customization as ( Settlement rule generation: account assignment category........4) Copy rule from superior object. So that settlement of all the object will be done to the same asset.
2. Otherwise, if you want to have the settlment to the same asset of your project structure in hierarchy, then you can use SAP note number 211324, to have Settlement rule generation: account assignment category as 05 (Superior WBS element), in the customization of settlement strategy.
I hope this should help you.

What's the next step after the rebate settlement running?

I had created the final settlement for the some rebate settlements via vb(7,so what's the next step for it? Is it going to be routed to the financial side for the next amount payment?Please advise.

You need to create a rebate credit memo request "Standard Document Type B1". It is created automatically while settling rebates.
Just check if any sales document of type B1 has been generated? Go to VBO2 under menu 'Rebate Payments' you will see 'Credit Memo Request', if you are able to click on the Change/Request that would mean rebate credit memo request has been created.
If not change the Agreement status in control data to 'B' and click on execute settlement. In the next screen enter the amount for which you want to create rebate memo and save.
This would generate rebate credit memo request if all customizing is correct. Either case you will get a message.
Now this credit memo request needs to billed as a normal sales order and if all SD-FI integration settings are correct this would also completes your rebate process.

Settlement run

Hi,
I ran the CJ88 for a WBS with settlement type as Automatic. But the postings were made to AuC and then to fixed asset.
What could be the reason as Automatic settlement will only post to AuC and Full settlement type must only post to fixed asset.
Please advise.
Thanks

GR/IR expenses not affected with the settlement rule run process in the GL

Please neglect by previous post with the same title
There is a problem I face while running the settlement rule process related to internal orders on the GR/IR expenses.
According to the internal order settlement rule every expense associated to an Internal order no. whether its an account payable or manual journal accounts it should be settled (distributed) on the cost centers specified in each internal order after the monthly settlement run process is done through T.Code "KO8G", and this actually happens on the entries that are booked manually through T.Code "FB50", but the GR/IR entries is the biggest problem, it didn't reflect the settlement rule distributions in the GL it just gives me the original transaction once its was automatically created through T.Code "MIGO" they are only allocated to a one profit center with no cost center and without being distributed to a multiple cost centers according to the distribution strategy.
After a long search I found that the cost center distribution occurred only on a secondary none GL account named A&P Settlement (720010), all GR/IR expenses was settled correctly only on this account not through the ordinary GL accounts (e.g. Gifts, printed materials) and of course the correct distribution didn't appear in the GL,
So is there a transaction or any way to allocate the GR/IR expenses to there correct cost centers with the correct cost element in the GL?
Is there anything to do with the GR/IR calculation that depends on quantity base not value base?
The Process as follows:
(1) Creating Internal order with a settlement rule (E.g. Cost center 1 (50%) Cost center 2 (50%)
2) Creating a purchase order associated to an internal order
3) The Goods received and creating the GR transaction T.Code "MIGO"
Acc/DR Expenses accounts
Acc/CR GI/IR Account 400301
Profit enter ###### (eg. 111177)
Cost Center <blank>
Internal order no. ####### (e.g. 9810512)

4) Closing the GR/IR accounts when receiving the invoice T.Code "MIRO"
When we receive vendor invoice:
Acc/Dr GI/IR Account 400301
Acc/Cr Vendor Account
Profit enter ###### (eg. 111177)
Cost Center <blank>
Internal order no. ####### (e.g. 9810512)
5) Performing the Internal order settlement rule run process
(N.B. By entering the report of the cost center (Actual/Plan/ Variance) T.Code S_ALR_87013611
I found that GR/IR expenses was not charged on the concerned cost centers as shown in the GL )
Your Reply is highly appreciated

Thanks for your kind reply,
But is there a way solve this problem?
And what is the use of leaving a field in the account assignment tab for an internal order while creating a PO and it will not take advantage of the settlement rule????????
And as you know the internal order settlement is a way to create a multiple account assignment
Can we solve the problem by making an automatic fake transaction that reverse the value of the GR/IR and creating another transaction can apply on it the settlement rule??
You know that settlement rule process is one of the best features in the SAP system it save time and effort to make distributions manually

Maintain settlement rule of the sender

Dear All,
Hi, I am Settling the all orders in co88 t.code, i run test run mode for all orders.At the time of running i am getting the below error:
Maintain the settlement rule of the sender
Message no. KD205
Diagnosis
Either the settlement rule for the sender does not exist, or it is incomplete.
The settlement rule must contain settlement parameters and at least one valid distribution rule. A distribution rule is valid for a settlement run if
The settlement period is in the validity interval for the rule, and - if a settlement type was specified during settlement -
The settlement type corresponds to the rule for the specified settlement type.
Settlement type FUL -> The system selects all rules with the FUL and PER settlement types.
Settlement type PER -> The system selects all rules with the PER settlement type.
The settlement share is set for the rule (percentage, equivalence number).
Procedure
The settlement rule belongs to the sender master data, where you can maintain it.

Profit centre error while vendor rebate settlement

Hi
this is regarding vendor rebate settlement TC- MEB4.
while settlement of agreement, system is not able to determine the profit centre, hence unable to post the entries. in this regards, i have checked following:-
1. material used in rebate agreement - profit centre maintained
2. field status of all GL used in settlement process is optional for profit centre and cost centre
3. in document splitting, categories of the GL's are Balance Sheet Item and Revenue
4. field status of the posting key also open for profit centre
5. document type is defined as Unspecified posting in splitting
do i need to look some other place for possible cause of error? please revert
Regards
DD

If you have mainatained the Rebate as accrual based on agreement adn Sales conditions then you should use Item Category as "01300-Cash Discount Clearing".
Change and try in atest system and while changing the category read the warning message carefully that the system issues and understand the implications.

Asset settlement issue from Project System

Hello everyone,
In SAP, we have tied Project System and Fixed Asset in the sense that for each network/activity in PS we create and link an asset in Asset Accounting. In the Purchase Order, the network/activity number is assigned and all the transactions that occur through this PO (including down payment, its clearing, GR/IR) are then settled on the specified asset when we execute settlement run at month end through CJ88.
However, we have encountered scenarios where an asset was not timely allocated to the network/activity but the transactions were carried out through the PO. When the settlement run was executed, its impact was not visible in Asset Accounting. Later, it was realized and the asset was created and assigned. Once the asset was assigned, all the subsequent transactions through the PO were then being settled successfully. But the problem is with those transactions for which the asset number was initially not assigned.
Is there any program that can be executed to include the impact of the previous transactions. Otherwise, suggest alternatives.
Thanks

Hi Thanks for your reply, But that is not relevent to this issue.
The issue here is -
First 2 documents has value date of 4th period and the amount is 8800
Next document has value date of 5th period and the amount is 1200
Now i am trying to settle 10000(8800+1200) with 5th period date. Its givign an error Settlement amount is greater than Available amount
Will it solve if i settle 4th period with 8800 first and then 1200 with 5t period? or any other process?
Thanks

Business Area in Settlement

Dear All,
While executing the settlement run for the production order, the business area is not getting updated in the entry. Due to this in my COPA report i cannt able to differentiate by business area. Kindly advice how to make the business area as mandatory during settlement. The settlement is done to the Material.
Regards
Vasantha

Hi,
normal when the BA is in the material it will take this over in the Production order and from there to CO-PA. Do you are missing the BA number before settlement?
