Transfer depreciation cost to COPA

Hi COPA gurus,
As i know, there is no way to assign assets to profit segment, and depreciation run is automatic, so how to transfer depreciation cost to COPA directly (not via cost center then allocation to profit segments)?
Another point, business transactions to have Profit segment found automatically using substitution are only transactions from MM modules (price differences, revaluation, inventory differences). So Is substitution not able to apply with depreciation posting in this case?
Could anyone show me, how does depreciation data transfer directly to COPA?
Thanks so much,
HuyenTT

Dear Pradeep
I have the similar issue.
With the cost center in asset master, CO-PA document is not generated.
Instead, Controlling document (CO object is CTR) is generated.
Without the cost conter in asset master, CO-PA document and
Controlling document(CO object CTR as statistics) is also generated.
But, as you mentioned, even with the cost center in asset master,
CO-PA and Controlling document should be generated, right?
Customization I've done are
- GGB1: Substitution
- OKB9: Flag-on to "profitability segment" for the Depreciation cost element
- OKC9: Activate 0_SCO10
If I miss something, pls let me know.

  • How to transfer depreciation postings to COPA?

    Hi,
    Can somebody help me how to make depreciation postings to flow to COPA?
    Thanks.

    There is no account object to post the depreciation to CO-PA.
    Perhaps you can do this with a settlement from a cost center or to create a substitution in FI or CO .

  • Transfer of Costs in Product Cost Collector to COPA

    Dear Experts,
    Please can you advise me on this current issue I'm having. Below is a description of problem:
    Customer is currently using report designed in COPA (KE30) to derive P&L report for using Plant as a characteristic.
    This was being done at a time when Product Costing functionality was not being used
    All costs (administrative, sales and production costs) were being collected in cost centers
    At end of month assessment of cost center values to COPA is executed (KEU5)
    Customer is then able to derive P&L report per Plant characteristic
    However with implementation of Product Costing, all Production related costs are captured in Product Cost Collectors and not Cost Center
    Hence we have no way of assessing or transferring total production costs from Product Cost Collector to CO-PA
    We have tried to configure FI/MM PA transfer structure (KEI1) and default account assignment (OKB9) for automatic transfer of costs on goods receipt/issue, however this is not working because the product cost collector is used as the default account assignment for the transactions
    So far only material cost valuation of sales/billed materials are possible (which does not address concern)
    As a result we have a gap and customer is unable to derive P&L by Plant from CO-PA.
    Can you advise if there is a way out, in order to have all Production Cost transferred to CO-PA.
    Thanks,
    Ola.

    Hi Ola
    Your Cost centers would be categorized as below
    1. MFG Cost Centers (In Plant)
    2. Service Cost Centers (In Plant)
    3. Few Cost centers (outside plant) Eg: Sales, Marketing, Sales offices etc
    At period end
    1. Allocate the Costs from SER CC to MFG CC using Distribution / Assessment cycle.
    This will make SER CC as zero
    2. Calculate actual activity price in MFG CC (KSS2 / KSII)
    3. After this, do revaluation of PCC using CON2.. This will make balance in MFG CC as zero
    4. Allow the Variances to be updated to COPA by ticking the "Variances to Costing based COPA" in your settlement profile
    5. In short, what remains for you to allocate to COPA is the 3rd category of CC.. i.e. you should allocate those CC to COPA whose cost is not included in the cost of product using COPC module

  • How do we transfer payment terms discount to cost based COPA

    Hi All
    If customer pays in 30 days we will offer 2 % discount. This will be captured in SKTO condition type. How do we transfer this discount to cost based COPA?

    Venkat
    You can assign the Discount GL Account in OKB9 for the company code and tick PrfSeg.
    Then create a PA Transfer Structure with Cost Element Discount as Source and suitable Value field.
    At the time of your Finance Entry where discount is calculated, based on your FI Settings, relevant COPA characteristics would be captured and transferred to COPA.

  • Transferring Standard and Actual costs to COPA

    Hi,
    We are using 3 valuations (Legal, Profit Center and Group Valuations). In order to transfer standard and actual costs to COPA for all 3 valuations do we need to create 3 costings (total 6) for transferring standard and and 3 costings keys for transferring actual costing to COPA?
    Thanks.

    Hi Ravi.
    Very interesting question!
    1: Ledgers in FI are not related with Material Ledger Valuation. EG, in FI you can have IFRS, TAX, and GAAP; and in ML You can have "currency/valuations"  Legal, PCA / Group. Keep in mind this are different stuff.
    2: In Material Ledger, you can valuate your stock according to different ledgers, with the bussiness function FIN_CO_COGM (Paralell cost of goods manufactured). The idea of this BF is have alternative valuations assigned to the principles (IFRS, TAX, GAAP), so in FI you can accomplish different Stocks, COGS and on accounts, based on different accounting principles. You can understand this as the brothers of FI Ledgers, in order to do product costing.
    3: In PA, you only post (or transfer) one record.  You have to decide if use "Local, Group, PCA or Paralell Cost of Goods Manufactured". (Im 90% sure based on lot of reading, maybe im missing somethings).
    Please, check this old post. Waman is a good source of info!
    CO-PA & IFRS
    Hi Waman!Waman Shirwaicar Could you please clarify the concept?  This is a topic that there are not much info!

  • How the Trading Goods mapped in to Product costing and COPA in Controlling

    Dear Experts,
    I have a trading goods scenario in my client. How the mapping into Product Costing and COPA.
    They just purchase FG products from Vendors and Sell to their Customers, they received FG Products to Main Plant from Vendors and then sends to Branches from Main Plant, In between some expenses accured like Transport, Fright etc. this is my scenario.
    How the settings to be made in Product costing and COPA.
    I am waiting for your favorable reply.
    Thanks,
    KBR.

    Hi Bhaskar
    I believe branches are also created as Plants
    You have 2 choices....
    Choice 1: If the Freight amount is known @ the time of Transfer from Main plant to Branches, include the same in STO so that inventory value in Branch = Purchase Value + Freight amount
    CHoice 2: If thats not possible, then inventory value in Branch will be same as the Main plant... The expenses incurred on freight needs to be posted to a cost center... Then allocate them @ month end based on revenue / Quantity sold etc using KEU5
    Whichever choice you make, Product Costing is not relevant and required as well... You dont need to do any CK11N
    If you want to see in COPA Purchase value separate and the Freight, etc separate - Then choice 2 is the route for you

  • Transport costs in COPA

    Hello,
    We are trying to assign transport costs to copa, we execute VI01 transaction and we do account assignment. It appears account assignment fully completed but when we display the profitability segment there are some of the value fields that are empty. We have checked that when we register vendor billing documents it works correctly and all the fields have their corresponding value.
    Maybe we have to customize something for transport costs?
    Thank you very much

    Hi,
    If you want to study COPA Infirmation refer this may be you will get idea
    Profitability Analysis (CO-PA)
    Purpose
    Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) enables you to evaluate market segments, which can be classified according to products, customers, orders or any combination of these, or strategic business units, such as sales organizations or business areas, with respect to your company's profit or contribution margin.
    The aim of the system is to provide your sales, marketing, product management and corporate planning departments with information to support internal accounting and decision-making.
    Two forms of Profitability Analysis are supported: costing-based and account-based.
    Costing-based Profitability Analysis is the form of profitability analysis that groups costs and revenues according to value fields and costing-based valuation approaches, both of which you can define yourself. It guarantees you access at all times to a complete, short-term profitability report.
    Account-based Profitability Analysis is a form of profitability analysis organized in accounts and using an account-based valuation approach. The distinguishing characteristic of this form is its use of cost and revenue elements. It provides you with a profitability report that is permanently reconciled with financial accounting.
    You can also use both of these types of CO-PA simultaneously.
    Integration
    Profitability Analysis, alongside Profit Center Accounting (EC-PCA), is one of the application components for profitability accounting.
    Features
    In the application component CO-PA, you can define your master data, the basic structures of this form of profitability analysis. This includes both units you want to evaluate (characteristics) and the categories in which you analyze values. In costing-based CO-PA, you define "value fields" in which to store your data for analysis. In account-based CO-PA, the values are structured by account.
    Using the SAP master data (customer, product, customer hierarchy) or CO-PA derivation rules, the system can derive additional characteristics based on the ones entered manually or transferred from primary transactions. The combination of characteristic values forms a multidimensional profitability segment, for which you can analyze profitability by comparing its costs and revenues.
    If you reorganize parts of your company, such as your sales districts or customer hierarchies, you can change the assignments between characteristics for data that has already been posted.
    The actual postings represent the most important source of information in CO-PA. You can transfer both sales orders and billing documents from the Sales and Distribution (SD) application component to CO-PA in realtime. In addition, an interface program is available to let you transfer external data to the R/3 System. You can also transfer costs from cost centers, orders and projects, as well as costs and revenues from direct postings (G/L account postings in FI, orders received in MM, and so on) or settle costs from CO to profitability segments.
    In costing-based CO-PA, you can valuate incoming sales orders or billing documents to automatically determine anticipated sales deductions or costs. You can also revaluate your data periodically to adjust the initial, realtime valuation or add the actual costs of goods manufactured.
    In CO-PA Planning, you can create a sales and profit plan. Whereas both types of Profitability Analysis can receive actual data in parallel, there is no common source of planning data. Consequently, you always plan either in accounts (account-based CO-PA) or in value fields (costing-based CO-PA). In costing-based CO-PA you can use automatic valuation to calculate planned revenues, sales deductions and costs of goods manufactured based on the planned sales quantity.
    The manual planning function lets you define planning screens for your organization. With this you can display reference data in planning, calculate formulas, create forecasts, and more. Planning can be performed at any degree of detail. For example, you can plan at a higher level, and have this data distributed top-down automatically.
    In automatic planning, you can copy and revaluate actual or planning data for a large number of profitability segments at once. You can also transfer planned sales quantities from (costing-based) CO-PA to Sales and Operations Planning (SOP) for the purpose of creating a production plan there.
    The Information System lets you interactively analyze existing data from a profitability standpoint using the functions of the drilldown reporting tool. There you can navigate through a multidimensional "data cube" using a number of different functions (such as drilldown or switching hierarchies). The system displays data in either value fields or accounts, depending on the currently active type of Profitability Analysis and the type to which the report structure is assigned. (Each report structure is assigned to either costing-based or account-based CO-PA.)
    You can change the display parameters online directly from the displayed report. You can store report structures with predefined sort orders, number formats and so on, and execute these online or in the background at any time.
    Hope this helps you
    Prem.

  • Activity cost in COPA

    Hello ALl,
    How we can map activity type cost of product costing in COPA report.
    Suggest

    Hi,
    You can assign value fields for cost component structure in respect of the material cost estimate. By doing this, the material cost component can be viewed in the COPA reports.
    As regards, the actual activities, once the same is confirmed on the production order, and when you settle the production orders, the variances would be posted to copa. for this you need to maintain PA transfer structure for prodution variances..
    Trust this helps much.
    Cheers

  • Excise duty costs in COPA

    Hi,
    We are implementing COPA in an up and running application. As you are aware two accounting documents are posted during billing process. First document posts revenue and cost based on the sales order conditions to PA. There is another document is posted in CIN dispatches from a manufacturing scenario.
    Request your help for
    a)second FI document accounts for excise duty cost. How to take this to PA?
    b)second PA document will get generated. In this document how do we suppress quantity information. As both PA documents have same billing document and there by billing type. This avoids duplication of quantity posting. This cannot be done in initalizing as billing type is same.
    c)how is it handled i.e. whether any user exit is used for this purpose.
    Please respond.
    Cheers
    Yesh

    Hi Yeshwant
    THere is a std way of doing it.... Tax conditions dont usually post to COPA because balance sheet accounts are assigned to COPA
    However, if you are using Costing Based COPA, there is a way to do it
    1. You will be already having excise condition types in SD Pricing Procedure, say, EXCS
    2. Create a statistical condition type, say, ZEXD....
    3. ZEXD will have a condition record of 100% based on the EXCS
    4. Map ZEXD to a VF in KE4I....
    When VF01 is done, the excise duty will also be posted to COPA...
    I have myself done this and it works.... No need to post to COPA from the excise document...

  • Status of transfer (shipment costs header data)

    Kindly explain it to me in general language,
    Status of transfer (shipment costs header data)
    This status describes the stage of forwarding for a shipment cost document.
    Use
    The status is determined by the system and cannot be changed manually. To determine the status, the system cumulates the item statuses. The following rules apply:
    Item     | Status
      000001 | _ | A | B | C | B | C | C | C
      000002 | _ | _ | _ | _ | A | A | B | C
    Header   | _ | A | B | C | B | B | B | C
    You can select shipment costs that have reached a certain forwarding status.

    Dear Pradeep,
    the matrix describes how the header status gets calculated when the cost document has two items.
    The header status is a cumulation of the item status. This is valid for the calculation, accounting and
    transfer status!
    Example:
    If item 00001 has status 'C' and item 00002 'A', the header status will be 'B'.
    Item | Status
    000001 | _ | A | B | C | B | C | C | C
    000002 | _ | _ | _  | _ | A | A | B | C
    Header | _ | A | B | C | B | B | B | C

  • Shipment costs in COPA

    Hello,
    We are trying to assign shipment costs to copa, we execute VI01
    transaction and we do account assignment. It appears account assignment
    fully completed but when we display the profitability segment there are
    some of the value fields that are empty.
    The fields that are empty are "Material", "Distribution
    channel" and "Division", and all of them are filled when the SD bill document is
    registered. I don´t understand why the system does not take them to the
    profitability segment because they are fixed value fields.
    We have checked that when we register vendor billing documents it works
    correctly and all the fields have their corresponding value.

    the GL account we use is 53000000  and from OKb9 based on plant it picks a Cost center  and From cost center we settle it to COPA
    Is thre a better way

  • Activating Account based Copa in the existing Cost-based COPA

    Hi Sap CO gurus!
    Please advise me for the following issue.
    Presently, My client using Cost-based COPA for segment wise reporting.( Already activated).
    Now they wanted the reports in Account Based. Is it possible to activate the Account based now? Will the system allow us to activate or not?
    If yes, What will be the implications? I want to know the pros and cons for that.
    If not, How Can I edit the COPA settings( Operating concern)? Or shall I delete the Operating concern and create one new one?
    Can you please explain the impact of each situation?
    Thanks a lot in advance
    Rama

    Hi Joe
    You can deactivate Account Based COPA, but you will have to do a thorough testing so that you are aware of the issues that can crop up
    The IMG Menu is SPRO > Controlling > Prof Analysis
    You will have to do a testing of how the open sales orders would behave... The open sales orders mean Sales Orders where PGI has been done, but billing is pending AS WELL AS Sales orders which are just created, but no Logistics movement (PGI) has taken place... You will have to do testing on both types of sales orders
      - When you do PGI after deactivating the account based COPA, you may face error. Because, COGS GL account is a cost element in Account based COPA, where as in Costing based COPA, it is usually not a Cost Element
      - Also do a billing from an open sales order and see if you get any error there...
    Similar issue can arise during variance settlement also, because the variance account is not a cost ele in Costing Based COPA.
    Test out the above scenarios and do share your experiences
