Tracing factor

Hi Friends,
In assessment cycle, if skf is used as tracing factor, how can I see this setting of skf in the cycle?
How does an SKF work?
Is my understanding correct , as described:
1. Canteen is used by 3 departments .
2. Each department has the following number of employees:
Dept A : 10
Dept B : 15
Dept C : 20
Using the above ratio, is cost allocated using skf of employee numbers simply as follows:
Cafeteria cost $1000
Cost allocated to Dept A :   [10 / (101520) ]  *  1000?
likewise for the rest of departments?
Is it just like what I described above?  Kindly confirm for me if I am correct.
regards
Markus

Yes, it's exactly works in the same way. SKfs can be displayed using CCA reports or else during run time of assessment cycle in the 'tracing factor'

  • CCA to COPA allocation cycles with cumulative tracing factors

    Hello
    we are looking for a functionality to use tracing factors but cumulating forward and not backwards : hereafter the example.
    Cost occur on cost center in month 1, 2 and 3. We would like to allocate these costs based on the generated revenue in month 2, 3 or more.
    Tracing factors Sales Quantity seem only to work for past sales up to the current period. We have systematically unallocated costs in month 1 as the Sales in COPA only occur in following months.
    Has anyone already encountered this ?
    Thanks for your help
    Best regards,

    I doubt cumulative ytd allocation is possible in KEU1. The 'cumulative' indicator in the KSU1 header screen, is not visible in KEU1.

  • Reciever tracing factor in COPA assessment cycle

    Hi All,
    I have account-based COPA and am trying to create COPA cost center assessment cycle in Tcode KEU2. While filling the reciever tracing factors, i can see the following values
    RCMEGI     Total Quantity
    RCWKFI     Fixed Costs
    RCWKGI     Total Costs
    However i need to define another key figure based on headcount
    Can anyone help me with how to create additional Amount/Qty Field for the assessment cycle. Where would be above be defined?
    Thanks & Regards
    Pooja Saxena

    Hi Christian
    Are you suggesting that the costs from cost center be allocated upon, say, some IOs based on SKF and then settling the IOs to COPA?
    This would be very cumbersome to create as many IOs as the possible combinations of Customer/ product / Other receiver chars
    Or are you suggesting some thing else which I could not catch?
    Also, new qty field can be created in KEA6... Values updated for this thru KE21N will work for acct based COPA?

  • How to analyse the Receiver Tracing Factor in COPA Assessment cycle -KEU5

    Hi
    While executing the COPA Assessment cycle,we will get receiver tracing factor.My client wants to know how we got that.How can i analyse that Receiver tracing factor?Kindly advice me...
    How can I recalculate the tracing factor for assesstment?
    For example, Actual Assessment Cycle RS_A01 under Segment ITCMFG2AD uses Variable Portions Rule for Receiver tracing Factor with Value Field of 62 Sales.
    The intent of this assessment was to be allocated based upon sales dollar values however when I review the test calculation, it appears the tracing factor is in billions of dollars when our monthly sales are in the million of dollars range.
    Supriya

    Hi,
    If Receier Tracing Factor Rule is Variable Portion, then please also check the Receiver Weighting factor (the last tab in the assessment cycle, it normally is 100 for the receivers.
    Secondly also check if there is different currency setting in CO Area & the Operating Concern which translates into different figures.
    Hope this works.

  • Tracing factor and cost center

    Hi,
    May I know if I can associate like this. Please advise.
    1)
    SKF quantity is assigned to receiving cost center. Later sender cost center base on the quantity in receiving cost center to apportion out the cost.
    Activity type quantity is assigned to sender cost center. Later receiviing cost center receive the cost base on the quantity in sender cost center.
    2) But I see there are both SKF and AT being the tracing factor as receiver in cycle. This makes me baffled against point 1 above.
    Need advice.
    Thanks

    1)
    SKF quantity is assigned to receiving cost center. Later sender cost center base on the quantity in receiving cost center to apportion out the cost.
    This is how the SKF distribution works by standard
    Activity type quantity is assigned to sender cost center. Later receiviing cost center receive the cost base on the quantity in sender cost center.
    This should not be possible possible, the system only checks the activity type quantities on the receiver side.
    2) But I see there are both SKF and AT being the tracing factor as receiver in cycle. This makes me baffled against point 1 above
    I dint get your point here

  • How to calculate Tracing Factor in Assessment cycle

    Hi,
    Kindly help me How to Calculate Tracing Factor in Assessment Cycle
    Is it the total of revenue for that division multiplied by the tracing factor (100)?
    Kindly advice me
    Thanks
    Supriya

    Hi Supriya,
    1. If you are using Assessment Cycle for allocation of cost among cost centers, then, the Receiver Tracing Factor selection will by and large depend on your allocation purpose and basis.
    Whether you want to allocate the costs on fixed percentages, OR , on the basis of Variable Proportions ( in which you can allocate the costs on the basis of some Statistical Key Figures data / already existing costs in those cost centers etc).
    2. If you are using Assessment Cycle for the purpose of transferring values to COPA, in that case, the Receiver Tracing Factor can be selected and the basis can be any Value Field (basis on the value which is there in that value field). Pls chk the transaction code KEU1 / KEU2
    Pls try to explain your complete requirement so as to suggest how u have to create cycle.

  • SKF as a Tracing Factor for an Overhead Cost Assessment to PA

    Hi,
    I am trying to use a Statistical Key Figure as a user defined tracing factor for a periodic settlement (KEU5) of overhead costs into PA.
    However I am running into difficulties trying to configure this.
    Has anyone out there know how to do this and give me some pointers
    I am getting an error message GA733. Incidentally I get the same error message when trying to perform a similar settlement in CCA using KSU5.
    Im using ECC6.0
    Many thanks.

    Hi Dawn
    Not clear about your requirement... You have captured expenses in IOs? or In Cost Center?
    Your question is bit confusing as you want to capture SKF against IO, but you said you want to allocate cost centers.. So, I am confused
    You can capture SKF against IO in KB31N... If you want to allocate expenses from IO based on SKF to COPA - use note 605281 so that IOs can be used as senders in assmt or dist cycle...

  • Difference  between  Receiver  Tracing factors and weighting factor

    Hi
    I   have read  sap help, but   the  difference between  receiver tracing factor and  receiver weighting factor is still not  clear.
    Can u provide an example to  understand it.
    Thanks
    kamala

    Hi Kamala
    As far as I know, the weigh fac is meant to determine the decimal places...and Sender values tab is meant for determining the % to be allocated...
    In the tab "Weigh factor", you would see a field FACTOR PER, which has the following entries
    0000001 No decimal places  
    0000010 One decimal place  
    0000100 Two decimal places
    0001000 Three decimal places
    0010000 Four decimal places
    0100000 Five decimal places
    1000000 Six decimal places 
    By default it is 0000100 which means 2 decimals..F1 help on this field shows that
    You enter 123456 as the weighting factor. Depending on the factor, this number is interpreted as:
    Factor      Decimal places   Weighting factor
    1                 0              123456
    10                 1              12345.6
    100               2              1234.56
    Hope this helps

  • COPA Assessement - reciever tracing factors getting multiplied

    HI All,
    COPA assessment cycle has been defined to send the costs from cost centers to COPA profitability segments.  Posted revenue has been used as tracing factors. My question is regarding calculation of tracing factors.
    The revenue for receivers is 22.22 and 444, however when the cycle is executed, the receiver tracing factors as shown in test run screen is 44 and 888. System is internally doubling the receiver tracing factors while executing the cycle in KEU5. Although the receiver values are correct in absolute terms, Users cannot understand why the receiver tracing factors are multiplied
    Why do the tracing factors get multiplied?
    Thanks & Regards
    Pooja Saxena

    HI Ajay
    Thanks for responding, My error is coming when i am trying to execute the assessment cycle, In some segments, the tracing factor got multiplied by 10!
    So not always doubles
    When you execute the cycles where reciver tracing factor is displayed in the output, is it always equal to the value that is in the system or some multiple of the same
    Thanks & Regards

  • Receiver tracing factor rule

    Hi all,
    In KSU3, I see there are few selection of receiver rule.
    May I know what are the purpose for the below?
    variable portions
    fixed amount
    fixed percentage
    fixed portion
    Thanks alot
    help.sap.com

    Hi,
    check if these divisions have any postings under cost element 627800. It's because you've selected variable portions with receiver tracing factor cost element 627800.
    Why don't you use fixed percentages or fixed portions instead of variable portions?

  • CO-PA  Assesment Recieving Tracing Factort

    Hi,
    We have created as CO-PA Assesment cycles.  where we have kept the recieving tracing factor as 5(Gross Sales) and my selection criteria is from B to H.
    i  am getting the wrong amounts when i am running the cycle.
    Here is an Example for better explanation of my problem:
    I have 2 profit centers x and Y with the Gross Sales of X = 1200 and Y = 600 Rials Respecteivly
    *i have a cost center X100 and the Cost is 2200 Rials*
    i am trying to run the CO_PA Assement cycle to bring the cost from Cost Center to Profit Centers
    i expect the Value that is to be distributed and my expected Cost Distributed to the Profit Centers are
    *X= 2200 (1200/1800) = 1466.666667 i.e. 67 %
    Y= 2200(600/1800) =  733.3333333 i.e. 33%*
    But my Actual Output is
    X = 1450.08 i.e. 66%
    y= 749.92 i.e 34% and i am able to see the Receiving factor against the Profit centes as
    X=23.076 and Y = 11.934
    i want to under stand from where are these tracing factors picked up? and how can i correct them
    Thanks in Advance
    *Best Regards,*Ravi Reddy

    hi Ravi..
       I think you should check the following areas :
      1. Sender rule : Posted amount
      2. Receiver Rule : Variable portion with standard scaling.
      3. As your tracing factor is gross sales value from Billing documents so you only take "Selection criteria -- Record type "F"

  • FI-GL allocation - distribution error: no valid receiver entries exist

    When creating an allocation cycle with fixed percentages and distribution defined on own Z-field (exists in table T800D without
    checks) we get Message no. GA109 when going to the receiver tracing factor screen.
    This happens only when entering a range or set for the receiver. With one unique value we get the tracing factor screen.
    This worked before with ranges and sets. As far as we know there are no changes done at the configuration.
    What can trigger this error? Something must be changed, but I have no clue what...
    Can you give me some tips to help me searching?

    Hi Prasada,
    I can change the set I use, so I guess it is not locked ?
    The set consists of 18 single values, from 1 to 18. So I tried with a set with a range 1 to 18, and also without a set and just a range 1 to 18 but that didn't help.
    When I use only 1 value I dont get the error.
    Before we did some tests with the same cycle (same segments and sets) and we didn't had the problem.
    We have the problem now for more than a week.
    Any other suggestions?
    Renaat.
    UPDATE FYI: we had to activate valdiation on the fields used for the allocation
    Strange because we did tests in the sandbox before without these validation on.

  • Error Msge GA733 'The segment contains no receivers'

    Dear SAP Gurus,
    I made a Profit Center Assessment Allocation using 3KE1 with parameter as below :
    Sender Values : Posted Amount
    Share in % : 100%
    Receiver Rule : Variable Portions
    Var.Portions Type : Actual Quantities/SKF
    Scale Neg. Tracing Factors : No Scaling
    The receiver's profit center group has been set, as also the SKF on the Tracing Factor and i have posted the SKF quantities from 9KE5.
    Nevertheless when i run the allocation using 3KE5, a warning message always appears saying 'The Segment contains no receivers'.
    Is there any solution? Really appreciate your help.
    Rgrds,
    Aoi

    Hi ,
    Its a product error . Refer OSS  Note 73384 - Allocations: Segment has no receivers and implement the correction..
    In case this OSS doesnot help you.. raise a fresh OSS message..
