Skf and allocation/settlement

Dear All,
I have 2 item to seek advice.
1) SKF only applicable to use in allocation(distribution/assessment) but NOT settlement. correct?
2) Allocation(which consiste of distribution and assessment) and Settlement. How should I call them? Cost allocation tool or Cost transfer tool? If it is called allocation tool then meaning settlement also called allication tool which may be confusing.
Thanks

Hello Srina,
There is a bit difference in the way SAP names a transaction and the way the people in industry name them. Generally all cost allocations irrespective of distribution, assessment or setllement might be called simply allocation or transfer but in SAP each of them is different because of the results they produce. The term allocation in SAP is used more in context of allocation of overheads / production costs posted in a cost center to the following :
a. Production/Process Order or to a Product Cost Collector;
b. WBS Element or Netwok;
c. Internal Order; or
d. Plant Maintenance Order.
Therefore it means that the allocation happens to cost objects where something new comes out and the term is not used in SAP in respect of other transfers for example from cost center to cost center the terms used are distribution/ assessment etc. The best way to call all of them together is ' Cost Management, Analysis and Allocation Tool'.
Settlement is applicable to the cost objects mentioned above (a,b,c and d) and the objective of the settlement is to valuate the the costs accumulated in these objects and transfer the effect of those back into Finance in form of posting to GL accounts and to other objects like assets, cost centers, another order, profitability segment  etc. Therefore settlement can not be called allocation in any respect.
The SKFs can not be used in settlement nor there is much requirement as you can post percentages in the settlement rule if you want to distribute the settlement results into two cost objects.

  • I need to know the difference between planned SKF and Actual SKF from business view and when I can use one of them ?

    I need just to know the difference between plan SKF and Actual SKF in business example and when I use one of them.
    thanks

    Hi Salaam,
    Statistical Key Figure (SKF) is a base to allocate the cost between cost centers. Usually, common cost centers cost should allocate to respective department cost centers on monthly basis.
    Some of SKFs are: Calculating floor rent on SFT, Telephone charges on No. of units, and employees head count is with "Each" in SAP.
    Apart from Ajay's reply, you can consider the Canteen exp in an organization. Assume Admin, Fin and Mfg departments are getting food services from Canteen. Here, total monthly cost of Canteen exp should be allocated to respective departments. Here, we use SKF as total head count of each department and distribute the cost.
    Planned SKF is what you planned on the beginning of a period. (Assume head count was planned as 30 in the month beginning)
    Actual SKF is what exactly you consumed over the period. (Actual employees provided canteen services during the month is 25)

  • Data Source to upload plan data for CO_OM_CCA_: CC: Costs and Allocations

    Hi Guru's,
    We have Data source that which upload Actual data for CCA (0CO_OM_CCA_1 - Cost Centers:cost and allocations).  Every time it is full upload before loading the data deletion of previous load request will be done.
    One more information required that i have checked in the BW cube for plan data it is available in the info cube for one cost center and rest of the costcenter i don't have the data now the users are requesting to upload the plan data for rest of cost centers.
    Now as per the business requirement the users are requesting to upload the plan data in to the same i am not sure whether it will pull the plan data with actuals in to BW cube. Is there any alternate with the same data source or else is there any specific data source for uploading Costs and Allocations plan data
    Please suggest me how can i go a head with this requirement.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Ganni

    You can use the same datasource to load plan/budget data to the cube for all the costcenters. And regarding the actuals, you can use 0CO_OM_CCA_9 datasource to load to actuals cube and create a multi on top of both plan and actuals cube for reporting purposes.

  • Whenever I try to open an app on my Mac it just bounces on my dock and then settles. At first it bounced the disappeared, and then I had to reinstall it, but now it just bounces. Any help?

    Whenever I try to open an app on my Mac it just bounces on my dock and then settles. At first it bounced the disappeared, and then I had to reinstall it, but now it just bounces. Any help?

    Try one or more of the following:
    > Restart Your Computer
    > Uninstall and Reinstall iTunes
    > Reset iPod (nothing will get deleted)
    > Look in My Computer (Windows 98, XP) OR Computer (Windows Vista or 7) and see if your iPod is in there.
    In some cases (and this happened to me before) plug your iPod in and out your computer a few times. It should get it going. If not, then I strongly recommend starting your computer.

    Thanks
    Lily

    Hi,
    In WBS, there would be n number of line items in the Investment Projects.
    So while doing settlement for those, we can decide whether to do on WBS based or Line items based.
    These settings will be done by CO people.

  • Plan Assessment and Allocation for Service Orders (CS)

    Hello,
    I'm trying to run plan assessment (KSUB) and plan allocation (KO9E) for a service order (created via IW31), but I'm not able to do it.
    I can do assessments (KSU5) and allocations (KO8G) with real values, but since I'm not able to do it in plan mode, I can't have comparative values between real and planned values (no value is flowing to allocation secondary cost elements).
    Can anyone let me know if this is some sort of limitation for Service Orders? Because I checked SPRO in transaction code KOAI and for this type of orders there is no Indicator for Integrated Planning, nor it's possible to assign a planning profile.
    Many thanks for any help you can provide!

  • Consignment and Pipeline Settlement - MRKO

    Hi All,
    Is there any way to remove Zero and Negative values from 'Consignment and Pipeline Settlement' (MRKO). I am having material documents with Zero and Negative values and when I tried to Settle them, so that would not appear next time in the list, getting error "Zero value in amount is not allowed". Is there any way I can delete them so that these record will not appear in MRKO.
    Thanks
    Anil

    Hi Anil,
    How you are getting ZERO and Negative Vale for consignment?
    Consignment settlement will happens after withdrawal of goods or after Sales based on your Consignment Purchase Info record.

  • Steps for implementing PM Order Cost and allocation Report

    Hi experts,
      I would like some of the experts to suggest prior steps involved in implementing PM Order Cost and allocation Report?
      Is there any specific PM documentatio other then help.sap.com documentation?
    Thank you
    arun

    Hi,
    the CO-Sources (and PM is similar there) deliver plan and actual costs in different rows separated with the characteristics 0VTYPE and 0VERSION (this one separating different versions of plan data) in your case you will get in your transactional data:
    ServiceOrder   0VTYPE    SWG (i leave the rest of the keys and attributes out)
    SO1000          20             15.000 €   for your plan date
    SO1000          10             10.000 €   that are your actual data
    so what wil happen if 0VTYPE is not a Key in your DSO is that first the plan record is updated in DSO and then the second actual record overwrites this value becaus both have the same key SO1000.
    You have to define carefully what keys you use in DSO to avoid this. If you can try create a test-Cube on base of the DataSource fields and look how the data are displayed in there because a cube regards all fields as key's.

  • What is "WITHDRAWAL:" and "ALLOCATED" in Forecast tab in RRP3

    Hello Gurus,
    The quantity and date in withdrawal and allocated in forecast tab of RRP3 does not match with MB51 of ECC,
    also pls clarify exactly how it is determined.
    Regards.

    Hi there!  Withdrawal and allocated quantities distinguish between two concepts - forecast consumption and forecast reduction.  The withdrawal quantity represents the amount of forecast which has been "reduced" and the allocated quantity represents the amount of forecast which has been "consumed".  Consumption becomes reduction when a sales order / delivery is PGI'd.  Or, when an SO is canceled, the consumption is simply reversed and no reduction occurs. 
    Forecast reduction prevents "over-planning" for a given time period, meaning that the system "remembers" how much was shipped out to the customer so that the forecast shows in the system as "fulfilled".
    For example, consider a day which has a forecast of 10.  There are open sales orders of 5, and another 3 were ordered and shipped today.  Assume also that there is no forward/backward consumption.  SO's consume forecast for the same day only.  In this case, the allocated quantity would be 5 - for the currently open orders.  The withdrawal quantity would be 3.  And the remaining unconsumed forecast for the day would be 2.
    Not sure why there may be inconsistencies with ECC, however.  If you give more specifics on the nature of the discrepancy, I will try to respond with some additional input.

  • Distribution  and allocation

    Hi Gurus,
    Please could you help me clarify the difference between distribution like top-down and Allocation as in cost allocation concepts?
    Thanks
    Markus Z.

    Thanks Gurus,
    Are the concepts the same in the context of cost center ? The online help link showed that it was for profit center. Can I assume these concepts are the same and same meaning in both contexts?
    Finally, can I say that both assessmt and allocation effectively does the same things but with conditions being slightly different, as stated by Ramesh?
    In lay man terms, can I say that assessment and allocation is like dividing an overhead cost into respective components based on some factors?
    regards
