State (Region) Derivation in COPA

HI,
I currenlty have the COPA derviation for State (Region) mapped to KNNR, based on the Customer number (KNA1) and the Region Field (Regio). I feel this is incorrect becusae while the sales team changes the ship to address for the customer, it will not reflect this in COPA. does anyone know what the correct mapping should be? I asked the SD guy and he is not sure.
Thanks,
Rashad

Hi,
the SAP standard customer in CO-PA characteristic KUNNR is the sold-to-party customer. So if you want to derive another SD partner role (ship-to-party, payer,...) follow SAPNET note 36557. Once the ship-to-party customer is derived you can derive state (or anything else) in the same way as its done for the sold-to-party customer.
Best regards, Christian

Characterstic Derivation in COPA

Dear Experts,
could you please give me example and purpose of derivation rule (meaning) in COPA ie., why do we define derivation..
your replies are highly appreciable..
With Best Regards,
satish

Hi ,
In COPA , you pull reports based on various dimensions , like product , plant , company code , region , division , product group etc... . We define these dimensions as Characteristics in COPA ..
Now , if we have to pull data in these dimensions.. we have to make sure that all these characteristics are populated in a COPA Document ..All the characteristics are not always are available during creation of billing document ..hence we need to have a COPA Characteristics derivation strategy ..
Strategy may be :
Derivation of Fixed Characteristics
Derivation from derivation rules
Derivation from table lookups
Derivation from customer hierarchy
Derivation of Product Hierarchy
Derivation of Region
Derivation with move and clear functions
Derivation within enhancement steps
Derivation of quantity units

Region Field in COPA

Hi,
Requirement is to bring in Region Field in COPA..
The Region field is available in Customer Master data.. so the relevant tables involved are:
KNA1 - Customer, Address key
ADRC - Address key, Region
Check table: T005U
Now, how do we create a COPA characteristic Region and what should be the derivation rules..
Please suggest..

HI,
KEDR (Derivation)->Table lookup on table KNA1.
Source
KNA1-KUNNR = CO-PA-KUDNR (system proposes)
Target
KNA1-REGIO = CO-PA-WWREG (your region Characteristic in CO-PA).
When Region field available n populated in KNA1, you don't need ADRC table.
Hope this helps.

SO not derived to COPA

Hi experts,
In one of the client, while creating SO, it is entirely not derived into COPA, not even a single characteristic or a value field, which is weird, because in another client, nothing's wrong. I have checked the COPA related customizing:
- KEDR, no error issue is ticked
- KEA0, environment and data structure is generated correctly (green light)
- KEKE, profitability analysis is active
- KEKF, activate transfer of SO is active (with indicator '1')
The SO is created, but nothing is created in COPA (i checked ke24 and ke30, nothing related the SO is there). I simulate the transfer for that existing SO, nothing is derived.
Any suggestions what could have possibly gone wrong?
Please suggest
Thank you all so much for your help

Hi,
Is your sales order item category having billing plan relevant, if this is the case have you maintaine billing plan?
what kind of billing you are using , delivery based , order based , and whether billing plan is used or not.
How incoming order is updated in COPA on the date of entry or based on schedule lines, if it is based on schedule line , are schedulelines properly maintianed.
if there are many exists implemented in SD , check whether any of exit having certain condition on the fullfillment of which only copa doc is posted.

When will the United States region receive 10.5.A.0.230

I know that that the mods may not know when the updates are pushed to the various markets but I'm having a hard time believe that you cannot contact your counterparts in engineering to get the approximate date when it will be pushed to the US Region.
It got released on May 21st 2014. 43 days ago.
It then got pushed to the UK on the 29th of May. Then to Israel on the 9th of June.
So again someone in your engineering/IT/Developer department knows when it will be pushed to the various markets. Why can you ask one of them, and then post in the forum? Is it a super secret?
Again there is no carrier involved in this push... it's a direct update from SONY so again you guys really should know.
Is it so hard to email Fredrik Ekstrand, Head of Software Product Management, and just ask when the United States region will receive the update?

Good luck. Sony cant get the update out and their call center idiots actually told me, "if everyone gets updated, the servers will get overloaded." Makes me wonder what kind of **bleep** servers they are using and how every other company out there has better ones.

Derivation Rule: COPA

Hello Everyone,
Could you please tell me how to write derivation rule in COPA. I would appreciation if you send me any document related to it.
Thanks in advance.
Sneha

Hi
I am working on SAP-ISU project. Our system is very old and we need to maintain it upt 2011. I found a Note 734718 for schedule records and implemented it.
I have searched for the programs which uses '31.12.2009' as end date. I found two programs RKEVKED0, LSSQ0V28. These are called dynamically. When I see the program I found that type-pools for KEDR is used. Also in the code dynamic table declaration is used.
I looked at KEDR transaction and nothing understood about it.
Can you please tell me how these programs are generated and why 31.12.2009 is used as end date.
Thanks in advance

Product Hierarchy Derivation in COPA

Hi Gurus,
We have 6 levels of Product hierarchy defined in the system and I am able to include it in the data structure. The related Characteristics are PAPH1,PAPH2,PAPH3,PAPH4,PAPH5,PAPH6 included in my operating concern. Level 1 has 1 character in number and rest of the levels has 3 characters each in number as follows.
Level 1--1 Number of Character
Level 2--3 Number of Characters
Level 3--3 Number of Characters
Level 4--3 Number of Characters
Level 5--3 Number of Characters
Level 6--3 Number of Characters
Hence all together the total number/length is 16.
Now, when I generated the operating concern,the derivation rules for product hierarchy are created automatically as follows.
Following is the screen shot for source field if I open step number 22
The corresponding screen shot for Target field is as follows
For step 23 , the source field details are same as step 22 but target field details are as follows
We have assigned Product hierarchy in Material master in tab Sales:Sales Org 2 which is 16 digits.
Now when I try to test the derivation rule for step 22, system gives me following error
=================================================================================
Characteristic value 010 does not exist for characteristic PAPH2 (ProdHier01-2)
Message no. KE0C133
Diagnosis
The characteristic "PAPH2" ("ProdHier01-2") should be posted to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA). When the system checked the entries, it was established that the transferred characteristic value (" 010") is not valid in CO-PA.
System Response
The data is not consistent and therefore cannot be transferred to CO-PA.
Procedure
With the function Maintain Characteristic Values, you can add characteristic values to those that are valid.
==================================================================================
I am getting the same error for all steps in test mode. How to fix this error? Do I need delete the PAPH1--PAPH6 characteristics and use the user defined characteristics and write derivation rule again? Also I want to know the use of steps 28 to 31 (clear) in this regard.
I have not included characteristic PRODH in my data structure. Do I require to include it in my Operating concern?
Regards,
makrand

Dear Ajay,
Hearty Thanks for the solution. As suggested by you, I removed "move" steps and defined the Table Lookup" steps.
There are two target entries i.e MVKE (Origin) table and the field name is PRODH (Product Hierarchy) which is equivalent to second target entry COPA (Origin) field (PAPH1 -----to PAPH6) in the same line.
In field PRODH,I used offset position. I selected "Entire Field Contents" and kept character position as 0 and kept total characters as 16 in each table lookup entry.
Again I have to make offset settings in PAPH1---PAPH6 fields. I selected "Entire Field Contents" tab and system automatically changed the field length for PAPH1 to PAPH6. Now the results are correct.
I arrived at solution after making some combinations in offset. Thought, this may be useful for somebody facing the similar issue.
What's the use of "Clear" steps which are generated by system?
Thanks and regards,
makrand

WWSRG derivation in COPA

Hi,
In the copa documents, the Sales reporting group is fetched from Derviation.
Its done through a user exit. It is derived based on the Object number
That is ARTNR . This is derived from INOB table, based on material number.
After that I am confused as to which table it actually looks to fetch the WWSRG i.e the Sales reporting group.
Any idea, which table is a possible table, which may actually be fetching WWSRG value?
SRG is in MARA. But it is not picked from MARA. So please let me know any other possible table.

Hi
Right person to answer this question would be your ABAP consultant
if you are using INOB table means you are having Variant Characteristics.... The possible tables/Structures would be AUSP, CLOBJDAT and INOB/MARA...
The Table CLOBJDAT stores the variant chars...

Dear Makrand,
Please look into the following:
I brought profit center in selection criterion:
For this I have changed my Form T Code: KE35:
General Data Selection :
Included Profit center along with the controlling Area.
Then I changed my report:
KE30:

How to delete derivation rule - COPA (KEA5)

Hi All,
Could you please inform me how to delete derivation rule(COPA_KOSTL) in KEA5 transaction code ? when we try to delete the system displaying the following message :
Message No K6430
Diagnosis
you are trying to delete a field delivered by SAP, although you are in the customer name range
System Response
You can delete the field, but must assume that the field will reappear in the next put.
Procedure
We are dealing with a currency - you can delete the field.
We added this field to Operating concern and now we want to delete this field.
Awaiting your valuable replied.
Thanks in advance
Srinivasa Chary

Hi,
In KEA5 did you copied the fixed characterisitics and created your own user Characterisirics. It is better not to copy the standard fields with table Since both will have same feature if you rename to another Desciption text.

Original regions change like copie!

Hi there, I'm stuck with a problem: when I change a copied region (eg length), the original region changes as well! This also happens when I re-load the file from the audio window. Does anybody know how to solve this?
iMac G5/10.3.9/1.8ghz/768Mb I'm stuck

sorry, or add a bit of silence from another region (file) and glue them together then select create (when asked) for a new file.

Characteristic derivation in COPA

Hi
I need to program a piece of code that retrieves a specific value out of a deriviation rule on SPART. Anyone now of a functionmodule/BAPI that can do this. Have been debugging transaction KEDE hours on end but have not found the "holy grail" yet. Hope someone can help.
The right help will be rewarded!
Cheers and thx

Hi,
Go through this SAP Note 172740. May be useful.

Session state of page item different from one region to another region

hi,
on one particular page I have two regions. A page item (LOV pop-up) is set in the first region. I leave this region with a button and jump back with a branch to the same page. The page item has now the selected value (as is shown by session state window). So far so good.
The second region (SQL query type) uses this page item. However, for some reason the page item is NULL in that second region.
Can anyone explain this behavior ?
ron

thanks Joel,
I did already what you suggested. The title in region 2 is evaluated to the same value as in region 1.
The SQL query (that actually runned with identical syntax before) is:
select bla from blatable where bla = :P920_RU
this generates:
report error:
ORA-12801: error signaled in parallel query server P000
ORA-01741: illegal zero-length identifier
So apperently the bind variable is evaluted to (or cached as) NULL.
I noticed something strange in the session window. There are several page items in the application. All of them are listed in the 'Session State' region. The page item that makes problems is the only one that is also listed in the 'Page Items' region. It is even listed when I start the session window from another page. Weird.
any other ideas ?
Actually, how could you possibly clear session state between rendering two regions ?
Ron

COPA Characteristics Derivation

Hi All,
Good day!
I would like to seek help regarding my concern in COPA.
We are trying to derive certain COPA characteristics but this derivation rule will only be triggered whenever we post Freight for Sales. My question is how can I technically know that the line item is from Freight for Sales? I check for the nature of a sample GL account for Freight on Sales, transaction is GBB with account modification VAX. My first idea is to set memory ID on VI01 and VI04 where in we store those transaction codes, whenever we met this tcodes, then the rule will trigger but the problem is, in the nature of the said GL account, posting will not only be in VI01 and VI04. We can also manually post it in ML81N by copying the entry sheet automatically created. Please help.
Thanks.

Our freight on Sales is just the standard frieght posted in VI01 or VI04, but when we discovered that amount posted is not correct, we changed it manually in ML81N via copying the original SES created upon posting in VI01 or VI04. Now what management requires is that in the profitability segments of the GL for Freight on Sales, COPA characteristics for customer should be equal to COPA Characteristics of the Trading Partner. Hope this clarifies the data you need. Thanks.
Would like to add, yes my problem now is how will I know if postings are for Freight on Sales given the nature of the P&L account. I think I need a user exit that identify the account assignment. With that, hopefully I can make some adjustment to pass it to COPA.
