Stastical Costs on WBS in result analysis

Dear Gurus,
At my client scenario, I am using valuated project stock. Normally in case of valuated project stock, actual cost does not get updated on WBS element at the time of good receipt from PO account assigned to WBS Element.
But I referred SAP note 533207 to achieve actual cost on WBS Element.
As per note, I have created cost element with category 90 for Balance sheet GL account (called at the time of good receipt).
Due to this, at the time of goods receipt, statistical cost gets posted on WBS Element and seen as actual cost on WBS Element reports (This is solving our reporting requirement).
But when I run result analysis (KKA2) on partiular WBS Element, system does not consider this actual cost (stastical cost posted on WBS Element).
It seems system is not considering statistical costs on WBS Element in result analysis (KKA2).
Is there any way to achieve this (consideration of stastical costs on WBS Element in result analysis)
Thanks and Regards,
Parimal

Hi All,
Thanks for your replies....I also appreciate that stastical cost can not be considered as actual cost in result analysis.
But in case of valuated project stock, if stock is available for WBS Element and not issued to production order or any other receiver, under which category the value of WBS stock is to be shown in result analysis.
Is there any other period end function to be carry out specifically for stock valuation or
how to represent it in results of project period end procedures

Cost Elements in OKG2 (Result Analysis Version)

Dear All,
Can we maintain a Single Cost Element or Can we maintain Different Cost Elements for the Different purpose. What is the necessary we have to maintain the Cost Elements & At what level it picks cost. Can any body share some inputs on ths.
Regards

Hi Raj,
If you check the settings for RA version 0 for CO area 0001 you will find that a single cost element is maintained.
Based on your requirement you may also define different cost elements for different reasons...
eg: You want to track Imminent Losses separately... then you can maintain a different cost element for calculating and posting imminent losses similarly you may want to capture Rev. in Excess of Billing in a separate cost element.
You can create separate cost elements for
Capitalized costs, Reserves for unrealized costs, Reserves for costs of complaints, Reserves for imminent loss, Work in process.
As such based on the requirement you may decide to have a same or different cost elements maintained in here.
When you execute RA (WIP calculation) system will calculate the values and will make a posting to the cost elements maintained in OKG2.
Also you need to maintain Line Id for the cost elements you have maintained here in OKG5.

Results Analysis cost elements

Hello,
The Results Analysis saves the Results Analysis data under secondary cost elements. These cost elements can be determined thru assignment to Line IDs in the transaction OKG4 (OKGA) u201CUpdate of WIP Calculation and Results Analysisu201D, or they can be determined in the definition of Result Analysis Version (transaction OKG2 or OKG9) in the section u201CCost Elements: Results Analysis Datau201D of the Extended Control.
Could you please tell me when the system saves the Results Analysis data under cost elements specified in OKG4/OKGA and when under cost elements specified in Results Analysis Version in OKG2/OKG9 ? How do you control this?
Best regards,
Robert

Hi Sarada,
thank you for your reply.
However in Results Analysis Version in OKG2 I see the Technical RA Cost Element only in simplified control (Costs Elements Off). In u201CCosts Elements Onu201D control I see the following Cost Elements for Results Analysis Data:
1. Valuated Actual Costs
2. Calculated Costs
3. Capitalized Profit
4. Calculated Revenue
5. Revenue in Excess of Billing
6. Revenue Surplus
When are these cost elements used?
In my KKBC_KUN report I can see some of these cost elements (1 u2013 4), but with 0 values, whereas WIP and COS/Revenue cost elements assigned to Line IDs have positive valuesu2026

Results analysis: any way to exclude certain cost element from calculation?

Hi everyone!
We are implementing Results Analysis for projects. But the client is asking if there is a way to exclude some cost elements of the results analysis calculation. We are using method 07, POC based in the project milestones.
This is why they need this. They say that very often they they have costs higher to what they should be according to the month's billing. So they need to send the corresponding part to a WIP account. But not all the costs. They have internal costs (like the hours of internal resources) and external costs (like materials procurement or external services contracts). They only want to send to WIP the exceeding external costs. But leave all the internal costs in a cost account. So to do this we need to exclude these kind of cost elements (secondary cost elements) from the results analysis calculation. Is there any way to do this? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Thalos.

Hi,
In OKG4, next to Line ID there is a field where you can set "N" which means not to include. Make this settinng for required cost elements / Line ID's and then test the changes.

Planned cost for Results Analysis

Dear Friends,
SAP reads line items from COSS and COSP to determine the planned cost for result analysis. What line items does it consider while summing up the planned cost. I wish to reconcile the planned cost as considered in result analysis.
I am considering the line items from COSS and COSP where
Value type = 1 or 11
Beltyp = 1
Version = 0
Business Transaction ????
What values should I put for business transation ? Or is there a SAP standard report which matches with the planned cost value of result analysis.
Standard report S_ALR**** does not always match with the planned cost value in result analysis. These reports read values from RPSCO table which is a summary table.
Regards
Jayesh.

After releasing production order all primary and secondary costs get attached to the order.
You can see planned cost in Tcode:CO02>>>>Goto>>>>>>>Costs>>>Analysis>>>under cost trend layput.

Technical Result Analysis Cost element - OKG2

Hi,
Need some inputs on Techincal Result analysis cost element(Whats the purpose and its use)
How is it different from those which we assign in Line ids.
Thanks & Regards,

Cost element created for the following internal purposes:
For calculating work in process ( WIP calculation)
For results analysis
Work in Process
When work in process is calculated, the following data is updated under this cost element:
Valuated actual costs
Calculated costs
For the calculation of work in process, the valuated actual costs and the calculated costs are only used for internal purposes and do not require separate cost elements. All that is needed is a technical results analysis cost element.
Results Analysis
In results analysis, the following results analysis data is updated under this cost element:
Valuated actual costs
Calculated costs
Capitalized profit
Calculated revenue
Revenue in excess of billings
Revenue surplus
Reserves for imminent loss
Creation of reserve
Usage of reserve
Value adjustment
Results analysis data calculated by the
POC method such as:
POC Profit increase
POC Profit decrease
POC Loss creation
POC Loss cancellation
POC Loss realization
Other cost elements
Valuated actual costs for complaints and commissions
Variances in variance calculation for collective orders
The results analysis cost element for the results analysis data is only for internal purposes, so you don't need to create a separate cost element for each piece of results analysis data. You only need a technical results analysis cost element.

Post Cost of Sales in PS after Result Analysis

Hi SAP experts,
I'm testing SAP EC&O best practice solution at this moment.
I executed KKAJ (results analysis) and both Cost of Sales and WIP were calculated correctly.
COS: for a TECO WBS, which already have billing document
WIP: for other WBS which is still in progress.
I already saved this results analysis, however, when I execute settlement (CJ8G), I can only find the posting to FI of WIP. (Dr GL WIP account/Cr P&L WIP account). My expect is to have COS posted to FI as well (to recognize COS for the billing of completed WBS above).
Kindly help me to figure out what I was missing here? I don't know at what step COS will be posted to FI. I searched all configuration document in Best Practice but cannot find any configuration for Results Analysis & Settlement for COS account.
Thanks so much for your help.

Change Result analysis key in WBS element

Hi Friends,
Is it possible to change result analysis key in WBS element?
Any thoughts/suggestions would be welcome.
Regards,
Soumya

Hi Soumya ,
Changing an RA Key in a WBS Element is easy and it just any normal activity which one can do. But the important thing is that you will have to look at the potential repurcussions which will arise because of changing the RA Key. As long as both the RA keys have the same valuation method and other relevant settings , changing would be OK. If the Valuation methods are different then there would be inconsistencies in Financial Accounting as the computation of revenues / cost of sales would be differing.
Excercise due caution .

Venkat.

Results Analysis on WBS Element

Hi Guys,
Once we capture the costs on the WBS elements,
Why do we carry out the results analysis on the WBS elements?? Pls explain.
Do we carry out both results analysis and settlement simultaneously on WBS elements ..?
Pls explain.
Thanks
Srik.

Dear srikusap,
When u carry the RA through KKAX, then u can able to see the WIP for the WBS. That is the reason we have to run RA.

Settlement in CJ88 after succesful results analysis on WBS

Dear All,
When I run CNE1 after i have estimated my PoC on my WBS project, this is succesful. I calculate the results analysis succesfully in KKA2 for my project. When i want to post the settlement of the RA, I receive errors such as "Maintain settlement rule on sender" and "the GL account needs a CO assignment".
My settlement rule is 100% PER and is maintained on every level of the WBS structure except one position which is the Receiver.
Any ideas?
Thanks Debora

Hello Debora
The Error KD 205 is issued during settlement becasue the results analysis is calculating costs of sales on line ID level.
Those costs of sales do add up to zero, but as settlement is checking on line ID level, the message is issued.
To avoid that results analysis is calculating cost of sales if you choose special function B in the valuation method (OKG3).
The system will then calculate negative WIP instead of reserves for
unrealized costs in the case of negative actual costs (see notes 365075 and 385616).
If you do want reserves for unrealized costs being calculated in the case of negative actual costs, but no costs of sales
(no error KD 205 when no settlement rule exists),
you could also change the method of apportionment in OKG3 to 'I'. The reserves for unrealized costs
will then be apportioned in proportion to the actual costs, so no cost of sales will be calculated on line ID level.
hope this helps

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?

Result Analysis with transaction code KKAJ for Top level WBS element

Hi Experts,
we have four level WBS structure with level 1 and level 4 with all operative indicators active
when we are doing Result analysis by using KKAJ for level 1 WBS element, System is taking all level 4 wbs elements also into consideration.
Is there a way to run results analysis using KKAJ only for level 1 wbs elements for multiple projects, avoiding the level 4 WBS elements.
SAP version 4.6C
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance

Results analysis for POC method with statistical cost element

Hi,
We are testing ETO (engineering-to-order) scenario With valuated
project stock and cost based POC RA method.
Inventory is updated during external procurement and we have used
statistical cost elements (Cost element category - 90) for inventory G/L.We want to use a
Result analysis method which considers this statistical cost elements
for calculating POC.For this purpose we have implemented SAP Notes
616960, 616869 and 78420.
In short, as per SAP note 616869, we created a customer enhancement
project for customer enhancement 5 of the results analysis (see Note
H78420). We copied the source code for customer enhancement 5 of the
correction instructions of note 616869 and then implemented SAP note
616960 to read the statistical actual costs.
Then we included the statistical cost as actual costs - Category K in
OKG4.
The system is doing POC and revenue in excess of billing calculation
correctly after taking into consideration the posted statistical cost.
During settlement of RA (CJ88), system is not giving effect to
inventory value. On settlement of RA, revenue should be recognized but
at the sametime the inventory represented by statistical posting should
be consumed(COS). The system should post a P&L posting which reduces
the inventory (representing statistical cost) and updates the actual
costs on settlement.
In our example, Statistical actual
posting is of USD 57150, planned revenue USD 100000 and POC is 70.27%.
Revenue in excess of billing comes to USD 70265.60. Recognisation of
revenue of USD 70265.60 is not correct as actual consumption is yet to
happen. The correct posting in FI should be revenue of USD 70265.60
along with COS of USD 57150.
Please suggest why on settlement the system is not posting the COS
along with revenue recognised?
Thanks,
BK

Results analysis for sales orders- actual costs/ revenues - (kka3-kkak)

Hi, i have a problem when I execute the individual results analysis for sales orders (kka3) I can see actual revenues and actual costs, however when I execute the collective processing (kkak) for the results analysis I don´t see these (actual revenues and costs). Is it normal? How can I see these in the collective processing?

Could be one of these possibilities:
1) Controlling Area set is wrong
2) You're input parameters are insufficient to get that sales order. Check Order Type etc you input in the main screen
3) The master data is wrong which is not allowing the link to the Sales Order. You would have to check each field thoroughly.
You will have to probably do a lot of checks before you resolve this. This isn't normal btw....you should see all Sales Orders
Assign Points if useful....
