Summarization level in template allocation

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have a PA with 20 custom characteristics, ALL RELEVANT and about 150 value fields.
When I try to run CPPE or CPAE template allocation, I receive a warning message about summarization level.
I read the help online but I have not understood what can I do with summarization level; is it an access performance improvement?
Can I use it even if ALL MY CHARACTERISTICS ARE RELEVANT (I can't have some of them blank due to reporting)?
Thanks a lot

No summarization level exists for cycle 261001_KEU5

Dear experts!
Now, I'm getting some issue about performing t.code KEU5.
The first, I create cycle with t.code KEU1 with receive tracing factor rule is Variable portions.
Second, I run the cycle with t.code KEU5 then the system display warring message:
No summarization level exists for cycle 261001
Message no. GA790
Diagnosis
The tracing factors for cycle 261001 cannot be read from a summarization level.
This message is displayed when executing a periodic allocation of overhead costs (assessment, indirect activity allocation) if portions are used as tracing factors in at least one segment. It is designed to make you aware of potential improvement in performance which is not being used.
If variable portions are used as tracing factors, the distribution factors are determined from the object level (table CE3xxxx/CE4xxxx, xxxx=operating concern). If there is a large amount of data at object level, selection can take a long time. The summarization levels can be used to pre-summarize the transaction data, resulting in a drastic reduction in runtimes for periodic allocations.
System Response
The tracing factor is determined from the object level. This does not alter the result of periodic allocation, but the runtime can be lengthy.
Procedure
For large data volumes, define a summarization level in the object level in order to improve performance.
For more information, see the program documentation and the customizing functions, which include a form for defining an appropriate summarization level for periodic allocation.
Help me, please!

Hi
Its just a warning message saying that cycle execution time can be more in the absnce of Summ level

KE30 is not picking the data from summarization level

Hi Techies,
We are facing one issue in KE30 tcode.
We are able to run the same report in our QLTY, its showing "Data is getting fetched the data from summarization level 33" and we can see the output within 5 mins, But if we use same parameters in PRO, its showing "Data is getting fetched from segment level".
So we are not getting data in PRO, its throwing TIME_OUT error....
Request you to suggest how we can map these summarization level to the particular report.
*We have already rebuilt and refreshed the summarization levels, then also it is being picked from segment level.
Thanks in advance,
NIck Loy

Hi,
In KE30 right click on the report. Click on change. Go to the options tab. In the performnace block check if radio button "use a summarization level" is selected.
If the customizing is correct then the select stamenet generated by the report may not be in sync with the summ level i.e. the chars in the selection of the report must be there in the summ level.

Error in actual template allocation for Business Process

Gurus,
I am facing a strange problem in actual template allocation for business process (T-code: CPAS). When I am doing a test run, the system gives the result with a message "Processing completed with no errors", However when I have unchecked the test run and ran the allocation, system shows me the result, however no posting takes place. The message I am getting is:
"Data not updated due to errors". The details of this error message are:
No information was found
Message no. GU444
Diagnosis
The system could not find the necessary information.
I am absolutely clueless and have no idea where things have gone wrong. I have maintained the activity and cost center properly. The template I am using is also ok.
Request your help on this. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Snigdho.

Hi ,
With such kind of error " "Data not updated due to errors". " its very difficult so determine the exact cause of the issue .
Did your selection parameters in CPAS has a tick on detailed list . Please tick the detailed list icon and run KPAS again and let me know if you are getting more detailed error from SAP.

'*' in Summarization Levels for CO-PA

Hi All,
What is the role of table "TKETRLF" in Account based CO-PA. When I try to check the CO-PA Datasource it is giving me an error. I tried to debug it and see where exactly is the problem. I found that the standard program is trying to read the data from the above said table and becoz of not finding the required data it is not picking up the summarisation level and throwing the error.
The table has got all the fields from the summarization levels and a flag(0,1,2...) which says if it is a summarization characteristic/user defined characteristic etc. The fields with out a '*' in KEDV has '0' as the flag. If the program finds the flag as '0' for any of the field in one summarization level then it is ignoring that level.
Since I have atleast one field with out a '*' in each of my summarization levels, it is not picking up the summarization level and throwing an error saying "No Source could be found".
This is very urgent...Please someone help me...
Thanks,
RPk.

Summarization Levels in COPA. Tr Code KEDV

Dear All,
I request you to give me some Clarifications on Summarization Levels namely;
1) Are the summarization levels build form Line Items tables(CE1XXXX and CE2XXXX).
2) If so how does it get the field "PLIKZ"(Plan/Actual Indicator) for Plan line items as this field so not part of CE2XXXX, so How is it Updated?
3) Assuming that there are Performance problems even after using Summarization Levels, can you please explain as to how exactly do the Indexs work.?
4) In Indexes, there are 5 Columns with the title "Field", each of the column containing multiple rows, can you please explain what is the use of each of the columns.?
5) i have gone through the OSS Note "83204", in it there is a path(given below) given to download the information on Summarization Levels. However, i was not sure as to how to download it Could you please let me know how to download it.If Possible can you upload the document under "Wiki" or " Articles".
Below is the data and the file path from the note:
===============================================
The document can be downloaded via ftp from the sapserv3 server (binary
transfer mode). The German or English version is stored in directory:
(~ftp/)general/R3server/abap/note.0083204
under the name h83204dt.doc or n83204en.doc.

Hi,
Please follow instructions in note 480180 to download the file. Also for creating index you can refer to note 35288. Together with summarization levels and a proper secondary index you should not face major performace issue. If the performance continues to be bad then you must think about archiving the CE1 or CE4 tables in CO-PA.

CO-PA Summarization Level

Hi,
I am very unclear about summarization levels in CO-PA. Please can any one explain me what is the real significance of summarization level, why do we need it and steps to configure it, and on what logic is data extracted from it.
Thank you,

1. What is use of summarizattion in COPA?
summarization level in Profitability Analysis (CO-PA):
A summarization level is a tool for improving performance.
Summarization levels store an original dataset in summarized form. This gives quick access to presummarized data for functions that do not need detailed information, and means that the data does not need to be summarized separately each time.
you can check this in this link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ae/bd116e940f11d2b63c0000e82debc6/frameset.htm
2. If we dont give summarization in COPA Account based will records be available in RSA3 - yes
2. How to create summarization level for a datasource?
You can do this in Transaction - KCDU/KCDV or SPRO
Hope it helps.

CO-PA Summarization Levels

Hi,
for a report with many characteristics I created 4 summarization levels in such a way that
Summarization Level 2 includes all characteristics of the Summarization Level 1 + some more
Summarization Level 3 includes all characteristics of the Summarization Level 2 + some more
Summarization Level 4 includes all characteristics of the Summarization Level 3 + some more
In the report options, in Presummarized data section, I selected "Read upon each navigation step".
Now when I execute the report, data is first read from the Summarization Level 1. During drill down data is read from further summarization levels depending on which characteristic is used for the drill down.
There is one thing that I don't understand:
None of these summarization levels is used by the system if it does not contain the characteristic "Product".
As Product is not used for the initial selection of the report I initially put it on Summarization Level 3. But the system did not want to use Summarization Levels 1 and 2 then. When I added the Product to the Levels 1 and 2, everything is working fine. However this is not what I need because Product is not displayed on the first screen of the report.
Do you know why the characteristic "Product" is required in each summarization level?
I will appreciate your help very much!
With best regards,
Marcin

Hi Surya,
My report is calling all summarization levels.
At the start the summariyation level 1 is called. It is most aggregated so it is little time needed to start the report. It contains only the most frequently used characteristics.
During drilldown other summarization levels can be called (this is achieved thru the option "Read upon each navigation step"). It depends on which characteristic is used for drilldown: if the characteristic used for drilldown is not included in the currently used summarization level, the next least aggregated summarization level which includes this characteristic is called.
The most frequently used characteristics are included in the most aggregated summarization level, the least frequently used characteristics are included in the least aggregated summarization level, which contains all characteristics used in the report.
With best regards,
Marcin

Optimal summarization levels for CO-PA

Hi,
is there any guide or SAP Note how to optimal set the summarization levels for CO-PA?
E.g., how many characteristics should a summarization level contain or how many keydata records is maximum for a summarization level?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Peter
Edited by: Peter Jankech on Feb 1, 2010 11:58 PM

Thanks for reply Pradeep,
unfortunatelly I have not found the information I need.
Does anybody know some other source?
The question is: what is the maximum size of an summarization level (in MB)?
Because if we add more and more characteristics to a summarization level, the amount of keytable records rises and the the summatization level losses its purpose.
Within the OSS 83204 (file h83204en.doc) there is a smatement, that a summarization level is considered as big, if its size is more than 20MB...this is nonsense, our summarization levels are bigger than 1GB. Is there any newer version of the manual to the summ.levels?
Thanks
Regards
Peter

Summarization Levels COPA

Hello all,
I´ve created a Summarization Level using transaction KEDV.
The Summarization Level has still the status "to be created" in KEDV, even when I safe it, it does not change the status, so the tables are not built.
When I try to update/ built/ rebuilt the level by using KEDU, it says it is not possible, because of the status "to be created".
How can I change the status and built the tables for the summarization level?
Thanks for your answers,
Michael

Try using the program "RKETREGN" to build.

Actual rates (KBK6) is not getting picked up for CPTA (template allocation)

Hello Experts,
I am using template allocation for the purpose of overhead calculation. I maintained rate in KP26. It is getting pulled up when I ran standard cost estimate. This is correct
Now I want to run CPTA (ie. charging overhead at month end) using actual rate. Hence I maintained actual rate in Tcode KBK6. Actual rate is little bit varying with KP26 rates. Hence I want to run CPTA with actual rate.
When I executed CPTA, I saw that system is picking up KP26 rate and not KBK6 rate. Please help me. How system will pick up KBK6 rate for CPTA.
--Meena.

Hi Meena,
The correct sequence of closing should be:
1. Template Allocation - CPTA
This will post activity allocation from CC to your production order at PLAN price.
2. Calculate Actual Activity Prices - KSII
This will calculate actual price based on costs posted to CC and activities allocated (try to avoid KBK6 in your testing but rather calculate actual price properly). It will also credit CC but will NOT debit the order.
3. Revaluate your production order - MFN1
This will debit the order with the difference between plan and actual activity price.
Please kindly read SAP Note 156563 - Settlement after activity allocation/revaluation.
It explains revaluation logic in detail.
If in your case CPTA generates activity allocation between CC and order (valued at plan price) and KSII calculates new actual activity price, MFN1 has to update the order.

Szymon

Actual template allocation duplicate order posting

Hi,
We recently upgraded from 4.6C to 6.0. We use template allocation to allocate overhead to our process orders at month-end. We are doing our first month-end since going live on 6.0. When we ran tcode CPTD (actual template allocation) it posted the debit quantity and value to the process order twice, and the credit value to the business process only once. Therefore, the CO document is out of balance. We then run tcode CON2 to revalue the postings at actual price. Because of this error, we have a remaining un-allocated balance in our business processes for this month. We also have incorrect costsallocated to our process orders. How do we correct program CPTD, and correct these postings?
Thanks...

Hi
I am using environment 9 yes.
My formula is very simple:
On Object I have:
SenderCostCenter = '130570' AND
SenderActivityType = 'LABORA'
And then I have simply put "1" in Plan Quantity and Actual Quantity.
So what it does is it allocates the unit cost of the combination of cost center 130570 and act. type LABORA one time to each material/order no matter lot size.
Should I perhaps have put "1" into the Plan Fix and Actual Fix instead?
Thanks

Error during template allocation (CPTK) WBS element not found

Hello Gurus,
I tried to do template allocation

object type is - PR
object is - WBS
system is searching for field PSPNR of table PRPS as per the object type PR which is maintained in table TBO00 but during template allocation program it seems system is referring for POSID of table PRPS. hence the error.
Is there any note to apply? or any config I have missed ?
please guide
